Chapter 482 - Little Lu Jing
Lu Xun woke up in the middle of the night to check on the babies. When he approached the babies' cot, he was surprised to see the grey cat curling next to the eldest daughter.
Mr. Fluffball sensed a movement and opened his eyes. Seeing that it was his Papa, the cat meowed lowly and closed his eyes to sleep.
Lu Xun chuckled. He thought about removing Mr. Fluffball away but seeing how the cat seemed to be guarding the babies, he decided to let it go.
A faint smile curled on his lips.
...
The next morning, Lu Xun told his wife what he had seen last night.
Hearing that Mr. Fluffball was accompanying the babies to sleep made her laugh. From the day she brought the twins back, Song Xing Xing had always noticed how Mr. Fluffball would look at them warily.
Song Xing Xing thought that it would take Mr. Fluffball a while before he would get used to the babies' presence around the house.
Surprisingly, the cat would enter the room and accompanied the twins to sleep.
Lu Xun went to work in the morning and let the nanny look after the babies.
Song Xing Xing saw Mr. Fluffball playing alone and decided to tease him a little bit. Seeing the cat energetically chase after the ribbon made her laugh. It seemed that she has been neglecting the cat after the babies were born.
However, looking after the twins were indeed very exhausting. Fortunately, the nanny and Auntie Wei were around to help her look after the babies. Otherwise, Song Xing Xing really did not know how she would survive.
"Mrs. Lu, the babies have taken their bath and dressed up."
Hearing the nanny's voice, Song Xing Xing turned around and saw the nanny carrying the elder sister in her arm.
"Hold on. Let me wash my hands first." Song Xing Xing stopped teasing the cat and went to wash her hand. Then, she took the elder sister from the nanny.
"Mrs. Lu, I'll go and look at the younger sister."
Song Xing Xing nodded. "Mmm... go ahead."
As soon as the baby smelled her mother's scent, her tiny hands and legs began to move excitedly. The baby turned her head to her mother's chest and opened her mouth.
Seeing that her mother's movement was too slow, Lu Jing started to complain.
Mr. Fluffball was playing with his toys when he heard the baby crying voice.
Previously, he would run away after hearing the voice, but after accompanying the babies to sleep last night, Mr. Fluffball was curious about them.
He abandoned his toys and ran over to the sofa, where Song Xing Xing was holding the baby. As he came closer, Mr. Fluffball saw the baby's reddened face as she cried.
The little thing looked pitiful and he did not know what to do.
"Meow."
Hearing the cat's voice, Little Lu Jing stopped crying. Her eyes widened as she looked around to find the source of that voice.
Song Xing Xing watched this scene and thought that it was very interesting. This morning, her husband had told her story about the eldest daughter and Mr. Fluffball.
"Meow."
Mr. Fluffball walked around and nudged his head against the baby's body. Then he climbed on the sofa's backrest and peeked at the baby from the higher ground.
Little Lu Jing finally saw the cat. Her tiny mouth shaped into a small 'O' as she stare back at him. Her appearance was adorable.
"Jing Jing, do you still want to drink or not?" Song Xing Xing pinched at the baby's cheek lightly.
Smelling the familiar scent of milk, the baby turned her head around and started to drink. However, after a few seconds, she pulled away to look at Mr. Fluffball again.
Sensing that the cat was still around, the baby continued to drink her milk. After drinking a few more, she pulled away to look at the cat again.
Seeing that this scene repeated a few times, Song Xing Xing laughed helplessly. "I think you're not really hungry. Jing Jing, you only wanted to play with the cat, right?"
Little Lu Jing saw that her mother had pulled her away from her source of milk and quickly protested. However, she was quickly distracted by the cat's presence again.
"Do you like Mr. Fluffball?" Song Xing Xing asked. She patted the baby on the back a few times before carrying the baby to the small mattress in the living room. Once the baby was settled, Song Xing Xing called the cat over.
Lu Jing lay on the mattress with her arms and legs flailing around as she looked at the grey cat. Her little mouth started babbling something.
"Mr. Fluffball, help me to look after your sister, alright?" Song Xing Xing smiled.
"Meow."
The cat's voice made Little Lu Jing excited. She stretched her arms, wanting to touch the cat. Unfortunately, her arms were too short.
Her face started to scrunch up, feeling upset that she did not get what she wanted. Soon, the baby started to cry.
Before Song Xing Xing could coax this daughter, Mr. Fluffball walked closer to look at her. He watched the baby cry and did not know how he should stop it. His expression grew anxious.
Mr. Fluffball encircled the baby a few times as if thinking what he should do next. After a while, he stood at the side and stretched out his paw to pat the baby on her chest. His movement was similar to how Song Xing Xing would make when she coaxed the baby.
At this time, Song Xing Xing was regretting that she did not have her phone with her. Otherwise, she could shoot a video and send it over to her husband.
After a while, the baby stopped crying. As she looked at the cat, Little Lu Jing started to smile.
Song Xing Xing laughed. "It seemed that Little Jing Jing loved her elder brother, right?"
Mr. Fluffball lay next to the baby and looked back at Song Xing Xing with a dissatisfied face.
Previously, he was the little gangster in the house.. However, he now has to coax the baby and make her happy.
