After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 16
Li Sheng was talking about Ji Ruodong, but Ranran clearly did not remember this person.
Seeing her little brows tightly furrowed, looking as if she could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought, Li Sheng could not help but smile. “If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it. He isn’t anyone important.”
Ranran was very obedient. Since Li Sheng told her not to think about it, she stopped thinking about it. After happily playing with the water for a while, Ranran finally took the initiative to say she wanted to dry off and go out.
Li Sheng was somewhat surprised by how well-behaved Ranran was today. Usually, Ranran loved soaking in warm water the most. If Li Sheng did not urge her, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to say she wanted to dry off.
Li Sheng was just about to praise Ranran for being good when, while putting on her clothes, Ranran suddenly said, “Ranran has to go out quickly. We can’t let Auntie Mo wait for Ranran for too long. Auntie Mo will be unhappy.”
“…”
Wrapped in a bathrobe, the little dumpling still had a rosy flush on her cheeks because she had just soaked in a hot bath. Her wet hair lay against her forehead, and the little one soft and fluffy came up to Mo Yueshuang.
“Auntie Mo, Ranran is clean now. I smell nice. Smell me.”
She raised her arm, wanting Mo Yueshuang to smell it. Mo Yueshuang smiled softly. When Li Ran pounced over, she had already smelled the milky fragrance on her body.
“Mm, Ranran smells very nice.” Mo Yueshuang cooperated extremely well and lowered her head to smell her. Li Ran was very happy and said with a cheerful laugh, “Auntie Mo smells nice too.”
Li Sheng happened to come out of the bathroom. Mo Yueshuang turned back to look at her. A large patch of her clothes was wet, and there were still water droplets dripping from her hair. Anyone who did not know better would think she had miserably fallen into water.
“Ranran, go lie down on the bed. In another half an hour, you should sleep.” Li Sheng picked up some of Ranran’s toys from the floor. When she passed by Mo Yueshuang, she said to her, “The guest room at home has been changed into Ranran’s toy room. Tonight, you can sleep in Ranran’s room. Ranran will sleep with me.”
Hearing Li Sheng’s arrangement, Ranran was very dissatisfied. She hugged Mo Yueshuang’s arm and acted spoiled toward Li Sheng from a distance. “Mommy, Ranran wants to sleep with Auntie Mo. Mommy is an adult. You have to learn how to sleep alone.”
“…” Li Sheng had suspected many times that Li Ran was Mo Yueshuang’s biological daughter and that she, this mommy, was the one picked up halfway. Finally, at this very moment, she confirmed it once again.
“Li Ran! No.”
If she continued indulging her like this, Li Ran would soon forget who her mommy was.
Ranran’s mood was low, and she hugged Mo Yueshuang’s arm, unwilling to let go.
Mo Yueshuang could not bear to see Ranran looking wronged and sad. Her heart ached for Ranran. “Li Sheng…”
Because of Ranran, Mo Yueshuang called Li Sheng’s name. Her tone carried pleading and expectation. Li Sheng’s thoughts were disturbed slightly by this call that was neither too heavy nor too light.
In the end, she waved her hand. “You two can sleep together. But Ranran doesn’t sleep very honestly. Remember to help cover her with the blanket at night.”
“Mommy, I’ll be good.”
Hearing Mommy speak badly about her, Li Ran shyly burrowed into Mo Yueshuang’s arms and said in a muffled voice that she would be good.
“Ranran is so cute.” Mo Yueshuang hugged the little dumpling tightly, feeling extremely happy. But when she raised her head to look at Li Sheng, she found that the other party was staring at them with a strange expression.
“Li Sheng, you should hurry and take a hot bath. Although the weather is still not bad now, it does get a little cold at night.”
Li Sheng nodded. However, before leaving, she saw that Mo Yueshuang was dressed lightly and thinly, so she frowned slightly and turned the air conditioner temperature up a little.
Li Sheng brought over two cups of warm fresh milk. Li Ran and Mo Yueshuang each took one.
After they finished drinking, Li Sheng said to Mo Yueshuang, “Miss Mo, please keep an eye on Ranran while she brushes her teeth.”
“All right, I will.”
“Thank you.” Li Sheng left Ranran’s small room. After Li Sheng left, Ranran happily rolled around on the bed twice. Seeing how adorable she was, Mo Yueshuang’s heart could not help softening. When Li Ran stopped, she reached out and touched the top of her head. “Ranran, let’s go brush your teeth.”
At eight-thirty in the evening, Li Ran finally got her wish and curled up in Mo Yueshuang’s arms, feeling the warmth that came from Mo Yueshuang.
“Can Auntie Mo come see Ranran often?”
“Mm. When I’m not busy, I can.”
“Can Auntie Mo tell Ranran a story?”
“A story?” Mo Yueshuang had never told stories to a child before, but now that Ranran had asked her like this, she agreed with great indulgence. Mo Yueshuang then told her the story of the Frog Prince.
After listening, Ranran’s little face was filled with confusion. She twisted her brows and thought hard. Finally, as if she had figured it out, she said with an extremely sorrowful expression, “The little princess is so pitiful.”
“Mm?” Mo Yueshuang did not have many feelings toward these kinds of fairy tales. During filming, she had also encountered many more difficult-to-understand plots.
Ranran explained, “The king definitely doesn’t like the little princess. Mommy said that only princesses who aren’t favored don’t have servants by their side. Mommy also said that even adults can’t force children to do things they don’t like.”
“But the little princess was the one who first agreed to Mr. Frog’s request. If you promise someone something, you should do it, shouldn’t you?”
“It must be because the little princess didn’t have a mother that she was bullied. Mommy said that if princes and princesses don’t have mothers, they will be sent to other favored consorts to be raised. No one will take careful care of them, and they will be bullied everywhere.”
Thinking of this, Ranran became sad and could not help sniffing as she burrowed deeper into Mo Yueshuang’s arms.
Mo Yueshuang had never taken care of a child before, but Ranran’s emotions were so obvious now that she could still feel them. She held Ranran’s small body in her arms, gently patted her back, and comforted her softly, “Ranran, be good. Don’t be sad. Ranran has a daddy and a mommy. Ranran is a happy child.”
Ranran suddenly poked her little head out and looked at Mo Yueshuang. Her small hands rubbed her teary, blurry eyes. She sniffled and sobbed as she said, “Ranran doesn’t have a daddy.”
Ever since Ranran was born, Li Sheng had been doing her best to learn how to be a good mother. Whether out of instinct or through constant learning, Li Sheng had protected Ranran very well.
But she had always been alone. When Ranran began her early education, she saw other children holding their father’s hand on the left and their mother’s hand on the right. They could walk and jump at the same time, and they could even ride on their father’s neck.
It was inevitable that she would let her imagination wander. On top of that, when she played with other children, Ranran learned that other children’s homes had fathers and mothers, while her home only had her and Mommy.
Although she had also asked Mommy why she did not have a daddy, Mommy never gave her a direct answer.
Later, Little Ranran bumped into Miranda and her girlfriend on a date. Through Miranda’s explanation, she learned that not every family was made up of a daddy and a mommy. There were also combinations of mommy and mommy, daddy and daddy, and some families only had a mommy and child, or a daddy and child.
So after returning to the country and seeing Mo Yueshuang, who looked similar to her, on television, Ranran, after confirming that the other party was not her sister, began to think whether she might be her mama. After all, children would look somewhat like their parents.
“Ranran doesn’t have a daddy?” Mo Yueshuang suspected she had heard wrong and murmured softly, but Ranran heard her. Ranran stretched out her little arms and wrapped them around Mo Yueshuang’s neck. “Ranran wants a mama.”
Mo Yueshuang understood. So this was why Ranran had called her Mama several times despite already having a mommy. It turned out this child wanted to matchmake her and Li Sheng?
“Then, Guan Tai…?”
