Chapter 949: Extra Chapter 1: Relationship Crisis? (1)
A week after her confinement, Li Beinian felt like she was walking on air.
Except that, being a mother of three all at once kept her extremely busy.
Fortunately, Tang Xiaoge would come to help. Nico also hired two middle-aged professional nannies from England who were patient and gentle.
It wasn’t a secret on the internet that Li Beinian had given birth. After finding out that Li Beinian had given birth to triplets, a huge commotion broke out online.
However, Li Beinian did not care much about these online activities.
The babies were clingy and liked to be carried by Li Beinian. In order to make it easier to take care of the children, Li Beinian slept in the same room with them. During the day and through the night, the servants would take turns to care for them. Li Beinian did not have to be kept too busy.
However, the premature babies were not physically strong. Many people suggested that Li Beinian should breastfeed them.
The three children had to share breast milk, and Li Beinian was under significant pressure. Every day, she tried to eat different high-protein foods and drank milk. Although supply could not meet demand, there were, fortunately, many reliable people around and the babies got stronger by the day.
After naming the babies, Li Beinian called them by various affectionate terms.
In the past, she would call them Big Precious, Second Precious, and Third Precious, as the babies looked similar. Furthermore, they were triplets and it was difficult to tell the difference in their appearance.
Now, whenever she sees the baby with a tuft of hair on his head, she knew it was Little Sunshine, and if there were two tufts, she knew it was little Bamboo, and three tufts, Little Panda.
As she used these nicknames repeatedly, the people around her followed suit. Every day, people would come to the house to visit and chat with the babies. Li Beinian’s days were very fulfilling.
On this particular day, after Li Beinian had coaxed the Little Panda to sleep, she gently placed her on the small wooden crib and tucked her in.
As she turned around, she rammed right into someone.
Li Beinian was shocked by the sudden collision and instinctively exclaimed aloud. However, the person immediately covered her mouth.
With his slightly roughened hand placed loosely over her mouth, Mu Xichen whispered, “Don’t wake the child.”
Li Beinian relaxed and glared at him before giving him a shove.
She pulled the man behind her as she tiptoed out of the babies’ room. Speaking quietly still, she chided, “You scared me!”
Mu Xichen looked down at her and said, “Come with me.”
Li Beinian followed him as he led her back to their bedroom.
The master bedroom on the third floor was huge. However, because the mistress had not lived here for a long time, it now seemed a little emptier than before.
Li Beinian’s attention was quickly drawn to the large pillows on the sofa.
There was a giant panda with a huge bamboo stick beside it, and next to that, a huge and round sun.
Li Beinian’s eyes lit up. “You actually made this. It’s amazing. The babies can play with them when they grow bigger.”
Mu Xichen sighed with resentment. “They’ve been here for more than 20 days.”
Li Beinian was stunned and looked up at him.
Only then did she realize that Mu Xichen looked exhausted.
In her impression, Mu Xichen seemed to always be in high spirits. But right now, his face was sallow, there were dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was a little long. It seemed that he hadn’t had a haircut in a long time.
Li Beinian blinked as reality struck her. She realized it had been some time since she last took a good look at the man now standing next to her.
