My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 276

Shi Enxi blinked a few times upon hearing Little Jade’s remark. “Xue’er is still healthy tho. He just lost weight.”

“Losing weight is not healthy mama!” The boy scolded.

For the first time, Shi Enxi didn’t know what to say in her defense against Little Jade. She turned her eyes to Little Snow and saw him giggling quietly upon seeing her being scolded by his brother.

“We should go inside the museum now. I heard that there’s a huge t-rex skeleton inside, don’t you want to see it?” Fan Xiao Yao tried to steal the boys attention by distracting them about the museum.

“THERE’S T-REX?!!” Little Snow’s eyes sparkled excitedly. “Let’s go gege! There’s T-rex!”

Both the mothers ended up heaving a sigh in relief when they saw that it was enough to focus their attention somewhere else.

“Thanks…” Shi Enxi said in a whispering tone as she began walking beside Fan Xiao Yao. She was weak against kids. She knew that if she tried to say something in reply to what Little Jade said, it would only make the matters worse and it might end up having the boy request for Little Snow to move in with him instead just so he could help him gain weight again.

“I think you should take a parenting class 101” Fan Xiao Yao joked, chuckling. She was looking ahead, keeping her eyes still towards the kids.

She rolled her eyes, “I’m too busy to get one.”

“You won’t be anymore once you’re in your maternity leave.”

“Ugh…” Although Shi Enxi couldn’t help but give it a thought since she admitted that she was lacking. Lu Mello was better in handling the kids but he was always away because of work.

Speaking of parenting, maybe she should visit her mother and ask for advice on how she does it? She was embarrassed to ask help from someone else even if she wanted to. It would be better if she could ask someone like her mother.

The two women ended up following the kids around the museum but just as expected, Little Snow easily got bored unlike Little Jade whose eyes were sparkling as he listened to the guide of the museum.

After visiting the museum, they decided to have take a break and have snacks at a café. Shi Enxi didn’t restrict her son from eating whatever he wanted that day especially when Little Jade was the one offering him all the food.

By the time Shi Enxi and Little Snow got home, she accompanied her son to his room.

“Mama, let’s have bubble bath together!” Little Snow suggested while he was watching his mother fill the tub with water.

Shi Enxi turned to him, blinking a few times in surprise.

“Can we? Pleeeeaase?” He clasped his hands together and looked adorably at her, staring at her with his puppy eyes.

With a helpless smile, she gave in to his request.

“Can mama sleep with me tonight too?” He added, tilting his head to the side, using his charms to convince her.

Since Lu Mello was away, Shi Enxi has been sleeping alone for a few days so sleeping with her son that night wouldn’t be a problem. Aside from that, she felt like she acting more like a proper mother this way.

“Okay.”

And so, Shi Enxi ended up staying in her son’s room that night. After taking a bath, she began drying her son’s hair with a hair blower.

“Mama, when will dada come back?”

Now that he asked that question, she realized that her husband didn’t call her that day. There was never a day where he wouldn’t call her whenever he was out of the country despite the difference in time. She couldn’t help but worry.

“He should be back by the end of this week.” At least that was what he told her before he left. He was supposed to have a small break but because of the urgency of his work he had to leave and be busy again. She couldn’t blame him though. Just like him, she was busy. If she were to take his place, she might even ignore her family for days just so she could settle the problem at work.

A small sigh ended up escaping her lips when she thought about her husband. After drying her son’s hair, she dried and brushed hers before she took her phone from the desk.

“Xue’er, do you want to see your baby sister?” Shi Enxi asked as she approached the bed.

“Eh? Xuexue will have a baby sister?” The boy asked while hugging his favorite spiderman plush.

She got on the bed and sat beside her son. She began tapping on her phone and showed him the photo she took earlier; the ultrasound photo. “Yes. You will become a big brother.” She showed him the picture by zooming in a part of it, “Look, this is your sister, this tiny figure.”

Little Snow knitted his brows together when he saw the photo, “She’s not pretty! Why does she look like this?”

Shi Enxi couldn’t help but giggle at what he said, “That’s because she’s still in mama’s tummy.”

“Mama’s tummy?” He turned his head to her, tilting his head on the side in confusion, “Why is baby sister in your tummy? Did mama eat her?”

“Of course not, sweetie.”

“Then how?”

Shi Enxi tried to think of an explanation but couldn’t think of any, “You’ll know it once you grow for now, why don’t you get some sleep now?”

The boy pouted, “But I’m not sleepy mama…”

“I am so let’s sleep, okay?” She lied down beside him and pulled him close in her embrace. “Good night, Xue’er” She placed a soft kiss on his forehead before she closed her eyes.

The boy wasn’t able to argue when he saw his mother close her eyes. He stared at her for a while before he reached out and gently touched her cheeks. “Mama…” He called but Shi Enxi pretended to be asleep.

When he thought that she was already fast asleep, he closed his eyes and buried his face on her c.h.e.s.t, “Don’t hate Xuexue, mama…”
