Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: I Have Some Good News for You

Having said that, Xu Chaomu packed up all the new clothes at home.

These clothes could be sold for a good price, not only were they new, but they were also quite expensive.

She packed up all these clothes and gave them to the aunt to sell.

Xiaobao cried out suddenly as he watched Xu Chaomu, crying so sadly, reaching out to grab her.

Xu Chaomu wouldn’t let him touch, only leaving a few articles of clothing behind; she packed the rest into the bag.

“Mom, Mom…” Xiaobao cried and called out.

Xu Chaomu, who was packing clothes, was stunned, as if struck by electricity. Xiaobao… was calling her Mom?

In a flash, Xu Chaomu was at a loss, her heart thudding rapidly, melting completely.

Though Xiaobao was crying, his voice was sweet and sticky, calling out in a particularly heart-moving manner.

Xu Chaomu turned to look at Xiaobao, the little guy was crying his heart out; as he cried, he called out again, “Mom, Mom”…

Xu Chaomu was so excited, her heart kept pounding; she dropped what was in her hands, squatted down, and picked up Xiaobao, unable to resist kissing him several times, “Be good, Xiaobao, say it again.”

She smiled so happily, her face blooming like a flower, with both dimples showing on her cheeks.

This feeling was so blissful!

Xiaobao could call for Mom, this was the first time a baby had called her Mom!

Xiaobao, held in Xu Chaomu’s arms, felt wronged, but seeing how happy Xu Chaomu was, he didn’t know why, but he reached out and patted her chest.

“Hey, Xiaobao, you’re moving around again,” Xu Chaomu pushed him away, “Be good. What did you just call? Can you say it again, please?”

Xu Chaomu was really excited, so thrilled she couldn’t put it into words, her eyes sparkling brilliantly!

She stared at Xiaobao intently, full of anticipation.

She was already a mom; she was the mother of a baby!

“Goo…” Xiaobao wouldn’t cooperate and stopped calling.

Xu Chaomu was anxious but not disappointed at all; she kissed Xiaobao’s cheek, “Be good, say it out loud, ‘Mom’.”

“Goo…” Xiaobao looked at Xu Chaomu with big eyes.

His eyes were full of innocence; he was still thinking about Xu Chaomu wanting to throw away his new clothes.

“Xiaobao, call for Mom, for Mom…” Xu Chaomu was extremely excited for a moment.

“Mom, Mom…” Finally, Xiaobao called out again.

“Ah!” Xu Chaomu responded delightfully, holding Xiaobao and unwilling to let go.

Her Xiaobao could finally call for Mom, and it sounded even better than “Dad”!

Xu Chaomu was so thrilled, so happy; she couldn’t help but kiss Xiaobao’s face several times over.

“Xiaobao, Xiaobao, you can finally call for Mom, Mom truly didn’t spoil you for nothing. From now on, you must be close to Mom, listen to her, and Mom will treat you very, very well,” Xu Chaomu held him and chattered on.

It seemed to Xiaobao as if he had opened the door to a new world; why was Xu Chaomu so happy when he just called “Mom”? Was it some kind of magical word?

When he called “Dad,” the cool uncles were also very happy!

Learning two magical words, Xiaobao thought that whenever they were upset in the future, he would just call out “Dad,” “Mom.”

“Xiaobao, kiss kiss!” Xu Chaomu kissed him.

Xiaobao stopped crying and looked around with his big eyes rolling around.

Xu Chaomu hugged him, incredibly delighted.

Only, Xiaobao wasn’t paying her much attention, as if he was still mad.

Xiaobao, sweetie, mommy won’t throw you out to the wolves anymore. You’re so adorable, how could mommy bear to feed you to the wolves?” Xu Chaomu said while kissing him.

Xiaobao looked so disdainful, and she kissed him again, she had kissed him so many times.

“Xiaobao, can you say ‘mommy’ once more, please?” Xu Chaomu coaxed.

Xiaobao ignored her, turning his head away to look somewhere else.

Xu Chaomu wasn’t angry, Xiaobao could call her mommy now, and she was really so happy. Therefore, she put Xiaobao down and made a phone call to Xiao Mo!

“Xiao Mo, I have great news to tell you, do you know that Xiaobao just called me ‘mommy’!” Xu Chaomu exclaimed joyfully.

Xiaobao was brought to her by Xiao Mo, so naturally, he was the first person she thought of to share the good news with.

Xiao Mo was working on some documents when he heard the news, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but lift in a smile. He said with a laugh, “The little guy is really smart.”

“Yeah, yeah, so smart and so well-behaved.”

“As long as he doesn’t cause you any trouble, I’m relieved.” Xiao Mo remembered the little guy had quite a temper.

“How could he? Xiaobao is so obedient now, rarely cries, and isn’t picky with food, I really like him so much.”

“Can he say ‘uncle’ yet?” Xiao Mo asked with a smile.

“Not yet, but I’ll definitely teach him when I have time. Xiaobao is really so smart, he’ll catch on at once for sure.”

“Your baby, why wouldn’t he be smart?” Xiao Mo said with a laugh.

Indeed, this baby was the child of Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi. With them as his parents, how could he not be smart?

“That’s right.” Xu Chaomu said with pride, “I will teach him well, and once he starts school, Xiaobao will surely come top of his class every year.”

“You sound so thrilled,” noted Xiao Mo.

“When he can call out ‘uncle’, I’ll make sure that you’re the first one he calls.”

“Alright, make sure you do.”

“Of course!”

Xiao Mo could hear the joy in Xu Chaomu’s voice over the phone, and he thought, if he told Xu Chaomu in the future that Xiaobao was her “lost” child, would she be even more thrilled?

Now wasn’t the time, though. It was better for Xu Chaomu to continue building a relationship with Xiaobao for now.

Xu Chaomu chatted nonstop with Xiao Mo, mostly about Xiaobao.

Xu Chaomu seemed to have returned to the Xu Chaomu of the past–chatty, cheerful, playful.

This was the side of Xu Chaomu that Xiao Mo loved seeing the most.

“Xiao Mo, by the time you come back, Xiaobao might be able to call you ‘uncle’ in person,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

“I’ll come over once I’ve taken care of things here; it won’t be too long.”

“Good, I’m looking forward to seeing you,” Xu Chaomu said. “You were the first person Xiaobao knew; imagine how happy he’d be to see you.”

“He probably doesn’t recognize me now,” Xiao Mo said.

“How could that be? Xiaobao is so smart. He’ll remember someone he’s seen once, especially since you were the first person he knew.”

“Well then, wait for me, I’ll be coming back.”

“Mhm,” Xu Chaomu nodded. “He really loves the gift you gave Xiaobao last time; he sleeps with it every night.”

“Really? I’ll buy him some more things another day.”

Xiao Mo also talked a lot with Xu Chaomu. Her voice was like a mountain spring, clear and pleasant to the ear. It was also like a gentle breeze, which brought extraordinary comfort to the heart when it blew.

The two of them talked for a long time, Xu Chaomu was probably too excited, she just couldn’t stop talking.

Eventually, it was Xiao Mo who felt they had talked for too long and ended the call.

Xu Chaomu still didn’t think they had talked enough, so she made another call to Xia Chuqing.
