Chapter 616: Chapter 615: A Step into Darkness (1 more)

Xu Niannian returned to the hospital ward to find her stolen treasure finally brought back by Xu Sisi.

Lying next to Jin Yu, Xiao Bao was fast asleep, snoring away, while Dabao lay on another bed, playing by blowing bubbles on his own.

"Where’s Sisi? Did she go back?" Xu Niannian placed the food on the cabinet.

Hearing Xu Niannian’s voice, Dabao, who was focused on playing with bubbles, immediately lifted his little head and grinned at Xu Niannian, "Aoow."

Then, like a little puppy, he started crawling towards her on all fours.

Xu Niannian, afraid he would fall to the floor, hurried over to catch her chubby son: "Eiyo, does our Dabao miss Mommy?"

"Aow."

Dabao nestled in Xu Niannian’s arms, nuzzling her neck with his little head; he had caught the scent of something delicious and wanted to eat.

Xu Niannian pinched his chubby cheeks and carried him over to the end of Jin Yu’s bed, pinching his little nose as she instructed, "Sit nicely, Mommy will feed Daddy first, then you."

"Aoww..." Dabao instantly pouted, whining and whimpering in discontent.

He was still a baby, after all.

Why not feed him first, hmph.

Ever since Xu Niannian walked in, Jin Yu’s gaze hadn’t left her.

Seeing her figure had snapped back to its pre-baby shape, a glint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes.

His wife’s waistline had recovered quite quickly, as if she hadn’t had a baby at all.

Jin Yu, thinking of something, couldn’t help but nearly let his smile reach the back of his head.

Xu Niannian lifted the lid, and a faint aroma of freshness wafted through the air.

Jin Yu took a sniff, "Wifey, did you make this?"

Just by the smell, Jin Yu knew it was Xu Niannian’s cooking.

"Mhm!"

While responding, Xu Niannian started serving the food into a bowl.

Wasn’t it because she didn’t want to upset his stomach?

Carp soup and rib congee were served into bowls, and Xu Niannian fed him personally. Jin Yu’s smile carried a cryptic meaning as his dark eyes fixated intently on Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian shoved a spoonful into his mouth: "Eat."

Jin Yu: "..."

It burned him.

Was this retribution for past grievances?

That’s what Jin Yu bizarrely thought.

Meanwhile, Dabao watched with wide-open eyes as Xu Niannian spoon-fed Jin Yu, while the little beggar could only drool at the end of the bed, his saliva almost falling three thousand feet.

Unwittingly, a strand of drool landed directly on the quilt, his round eyes glaring at Jin Yu, as he occasionally smacked his lips, making a smacking sound.

Just like... when he sucked on a bottle.

With just a glance, Jin Yu saw his silly-looking son and suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

"Niannian, you should feed the child first."

"Hm?"

With a bowl still in hand, Xu Niannian turned to look at Jin Dabao.

"Oh no, why’s there so much drool."

She quickly put the bowl down and picked up Dabao.

Dabao needed to eat almost every hour, which was why Xu Niannian had planned to feed Jin Yu first.

She hadn’t expected their silly son to be this greedy.

"You little glutton."

Xu Niannian twisted his little nose and said helplessly to Jin Yu, "You’ll have to wait a bit then."

"No problem, hand it over to me, I can eat on my own, I’m not that delicate."

Jin Yu thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being doted on by his wife but didn’t fancy being treated like an invalid.

As soon as she finished saying that, Xu Niannian gave him a sharp look.

"Wow, aren’t you capable? With injuries on your shoulder and arm, you still think you can hold a bowl and eat by yourself, and if the wound starts bleeding again, I’m not going to bother with you."

He was scolded out of nowhere!

Jin Yu pursed his lips, his expression quite serious.

He couldn’t help feeling that ever since Qu Xiaoran came over, his wife had not been gentle at all.

Jealous? Jin Yu’s eyes gradually brightened, feeling very happy about being the object of jealousy. His mood lifted so much that even his wounds seemed more endearing.

Xu Niannian didn’t pay attention to Jin Yu, and began feeding Jin Dabao first.

Jin Dabao liked to be held by Xu Niannian.

With one hand supporting his back and the other feeding him.

The gluttonous Jin Dabao, upon tasting something delicious, would smack his lips and eat bite after bite without waiting.

He wished he could just lift the bowl to his face and pour it in.

Because he was in such a hurry, as soon as he opened his mouth and "aoow" bit onto the spoon, his eyes darted into the bowl.

The little fella shook his head and waved his neck as if it had a spring attached, his round eyes twinkling.

Jin Yu, watching him, wanted to laugh. He reached out to pinch his chubby face, "You little glutton."

"Aoow!" Dissatisfied with his eating being disturbed, Jin Dabao flailed his chubby hands, smacking them down on Jin Yu’s hand.

After feeding Jin Dabao, Xu Niannian then took care of Jin Yu before she ate herself.

Seeing that Xiao Bao was still sleeping, Xu Niannian moved him to the bed next door to sleep with Jin Dabao.

Xu Niannian lay down on her side nearby and made do.

Seeing her uncomfortable sleeping position, Jin Yu felt sorry for her, "Wife, why don’t you come sleep with me?"

"Don’t be silly," Xu Niannian laughed at him, "Go to sleep quickly; with all your injuries, I wouldn’t dare."

Moreover, his tall figure barely fit on the bed by himself.

"Tomorrow night, you should take Jin Dabao and Xiao Bao home to rest, and come back in the morning."

It was not easy to see his wife every day, an opportunity that came with his injury. Of course, Jin Yu was reluctant to let Xu Niannian leave his side even for a moment.

But he also couldn’t bear to see Xu Niannian work so hard.

"What are you thinking about? Go to sleep," Xu Niannian said.

Some of Jin Yu’s injuries were dangerously close to vital areas. Though he seemed energetic while talking to Xu Niannian, even a slight movement could cause painful tugging at his wounds.

After the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Jin Yu was in so much pain he couldn’t sleep. Later in the night, too exhausted to hold on, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

The ward was silent, and at this moment, a certain little Pang Dun slowly crawled up and gently pinched Xiao Bao’s face with his chubby hand.

The sleeping child opened his eyes "whoosh," the darkness of the room illuminated by the radiant glow in his eyes, his long lashes trembling slightly.

Glancing at Jin Dabao who had pinched him, a faint light flickered in Xiao Bao’s eyes as he murmured to his brother, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, you’re awake?" Jin Dabao exclaimed in surprise, almost losing control of his volume.

Why ’almost’?

Because just as he was about to blurt out, Xiao Bao quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Jin Dabao immediately realized he had almost given them away and sneakily looked over at Jin Yu on the neighboring bed.

They both knew their stepfather was very cautious with a strong power of observation.

Any slight noise, he might hear it.

Jin Dabao guessed that probably because he was injured, he wasn’t as alert as usual.

He almost died of fright, thinking he had been discovered.

Still shaken, Jin Dabao patted his little chest with his chubby hand, his round little body sitting up in bed.

In a half-daze, Jin Yu vaguely heard some sounds and immediately opened his eyes, looking over in this direction.

Xiao Bao spotted him first and quickly kicked Jin Dabao off the bed.

The bewildered Jin Dabao was kicked to the foot of the bed for no reason. His head even collided with the corner of a cabinet, and he couldn’t help but cry out "waah."
