Wang Shu was still not happy with Lu Bao’s mother-in-law, "But his mother...."
"Calm down," Lu Bao said, "I too hated her at the start with how she treated me. I also know that she wanted her son to marry some business tycoon’s daughter, but he chose me. She tried everything to break our relationship, but that only made it stronger, and he loved me even more."
"You talk like you don’t hate her now," Wang Shu commented while Lu Lian waited for her sister’s reply.
"Honestly, I don’t hate her now," Lu Bao’s reply surprised them, and she explained, "As I’ll be a mother soon, I can feel I’m ready to do anything to protect my child, so now I can understand his mother too."
"His mother is just greedy for money," Wang Shu exclaimed.
"Every mother is greedy for their kids. The only difference is that greed varies with different people."
"How thoughtful," Lu Lian commented, seeing her matured sister.
Lu Bao continued, "I just realized that the most selfish person on the earth is one mother. The mother only cares about her flesh and blood, and they won’t hesitate to hurt someone else’s child for the wellbeing of her own. She can do anything for their child’s sake by claiming it as their love, and we accept it thinking that’s mother’s love. But then I think, why not. Mothers are the ones who bring us into this world and raise us, so they have a right to be selfish for their kids."
Lo Bao stopped, and her sisters continued staring at her while Lu Bao looked at them to know why they were not talking.
Both went closer to Lu Bao and hugged from the side, making Lu Bao smile.
"You are the youngest but seem more mature than us," Wang shu commented.
Just then, Mu Xichen knocked on the room door and entered the room.
"So my wife is busy with her two pretty sisters?" he asked, seeing the three ladies having a good time together.
"I was bored of seeing the handsome man all the time, so I thought to take a look at pretty women. Who knows if it’s a baby girl," Lu Bao commented and her, both sisters smiled.
"Well, that’s true, but I have one more solution," Mu Xichen said.
"And what’s that?" Lu Bao asked, and the other two waited to hear him.
"You can keep looking into the mirror when your sisters are not around," Mu Xichen said, which made Lu Bao blushed, and the other two smiled.
"Wooo, brother-in-law knows how to make my sister blush. Too much love, huh?" Wang Shu commented.
"No wonder BaoBao is getting prettier day by day," Lu Lian added.
Two years back, Lu Lian married Mu Xichen. She met him during her university days when she once went to her friend’s sister’s wedding.
Mu Xichen liked Lu Bao, and after dating for a few years, he finally decided to marry her. Though she was the Lu Families daughter, her father was the second son, and the powerful one was Lu Jinhai, so Mu Xichen’s mother was not happy with it.
Her son had marriage proposals from other families as he was one rising and successful heir of one wealthy family.
Mu Xichen had decided to marry Lu Bao, so his mother listened to his son, unwillingly. After the wedding, his mother tried to create conflicts between them, but she was never successful as Mu Xichen knew his mother would. He never talked back to his mother, but he never blamed Lu Bao for anything by falling for his mother’s tricks.
After a few months, his mother finally gave up and accepted Lu Bao, which was surprising for the couple, but they didn’t bother to think about what matters was the family’s happiness.
Lu Bao being pregnant, was another good news to bring everyone closer.
"Brother-in-law, what do you like our Lu Bao other than she is pretty," Wang Shu asked.
"Hmm, it’s difficult to tell because there are so many things to list about," Mu Xichen replied.
"C’mon, brother-in-law. Let the baby listen to how sweet her mother is," Wang Shu said, and Lu Lian agreed too, "Baby needs to know what the father thinks about her mother."
Mu Xichen smiled a little and looked at his pretty wife, who looked even adorable with her round belly.
"Though she acts silly most of the time, I like the silly her because it makes me feel alive. She is innocent but mature at the same time. She knows what to do when the time comes and checks her patience. She looks vulnerable, but she is strong......" Mu Xichen continued talking so many things while the three kept listening quietly.
He stopped after some time and looked at surprised and overwhelmed Lu Bao, who never thought her husband thought about her like this.
Mu Xichen was not done yet and continued, "The most important thing. Even though my mother troubled her, she never came to me complaining. I tried my best to make up for what the mother did, but I know she was hurt, and it was not enough. But in the end, her patience changed my mother, and we all are happy. Just because of my Baobao."
Tears rolled down Lu Bao’s eyes, hearing it all.
The sisters looked at her and then looked at each other as they thought to leave the husband and wife alone.
Hugging their crying sister, the sisters left. Mu Xichen went to his wife, hugged her, and patted her back.
"You would be the one to handle the crying baby soon, but you are acting like the one now," Mu Xichen commented as he let his wife cry, burying her face in his chest.
"And you would be the one to handle the crying baby and her mother too," Lu Bao spoke in her choked and crying voice.
"I will."
A light and a pleasant smile painted on his lips while holding his adorable wife in his embrace.
