Top-tier Auntie in the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 117: Little Aunt 0
Chapter 117
Song Anan and Pei Kuang were quite hands-on when it came to raising their child.
During Mu Mu's developmental years, they both placed great importance on accompanying him.
Although Song Anan's job seemed relatively stable, when it came to taking care of their child, Pei Kuang did far more than she did.
As a surgeon working three shifts, the nature of her job meant that sometimes when she got home, Mu Mu would already be asleep, not to mention overtime was a daily occurrence.
But from the time Song Anan became pregnant, Pei Kuang basically suspended all his work except for occasionally guest starring in some roles, and didn't start filming again until Mu Mu turned two.
In comparison, they both placed more emphasis on personal privacy, and weren't very keen on having other people in their home, so after Mu Mu turned one, the nanny who had been taking care of him transitioned to a part-time live-in role.
What does part-time live-in mean? It means that as long as either Song Anan or Pei Kuang was home that day, the nanny could take the day off and they would take care of Mu Mu themselves.
Although it was a bit tiring, the effect was obvious - after all, compared to a nanny, a parent's company gave a child more of a sense of security.
Plus, there were many things that children needed to learn through their parents' words and deeds.
One weekend, Pei Kuang was on location for a TV drama shoot, and Song Anan happened to be off, so she was home alone with their son that day.
But right after the mother and son pair woke up from their nap, Song Anan suddenly got an urgent call from the hospital saying there was an emergency meeting she had to get back for.
Since the nanny had the day off, it wasn't appropriate to call her back on such short notice, so she had no choice but to bring her son to the hospital with her.
After arriving at the hospital, Song Anan brought Mu Mu to the cardiothoracic surgery nurses' station and asked the nurses on duty to help keep an eye on him for a bit.
She left the desserts she'd brought next to them and said, "Sorry to trouble you, my family will come pick him up later."
The young nurses gleefully replied, "Don't worry Doctor Song, leave Mu Mu to us, you go ahead to your meeting!"
Song Anan smiled and thanked them again, then squatted down to tell Mu Mu, "Mommy has to go work, be good and listen to the nurse aunties, okay?"
Four-year-old little Mu Mu acted just like a little grown up, patting Song Anan on the shoulder and saying, "Don't worry Mom, go focus on work, I'll be fine on my own."
After that, he looked around the nurses' station and finally pointed to a corner and asked, "Nurse auntie, can I sit over there?"
The nurses were instantly charmed by Mu Mu's cuteness.
Awwww, Doctor Song's son is just too adorable!
Such a little guy, with delicate features and so well-behaved, who wouldn't dote on him?
Makes me want to effortlessly become a mom!
Seeing the group of nurses fawning over Mu Mu, asking him questions nonstop, Song Anan couldn't help covering her forehead.
It seemed that by comparison, Mu Mu was the most mature one.
But she was at ease leaving her son given his temperament, so as Mu Mu looked over, Song Anan gestured to him before leaving.
This wasn't Mu Mu's first time coming to his mom's workplace.
When his dad was home, he would often bring Mu Mu along to bring food for his mom, so he wasn't unfamiliar with this place.
The nurse aunties were really nice to him, always giving him lots of snacks he liked, so Mu Mu really liked them, but sometimes it was also troubling.
Like right now, the nurse aunties had given him lots more snacks, but his parents had limited his snack intake and he'd already reached the quota for today.
If he ate any more that would definitely be a no-go, even though Mom wasn't here, as a little man he had to keep his word and not go back on a promise.
Mu Mu clenched his little fists with determination and firmly said, "Thank you aunties, but I can't have any more snacks today, next time!"
Seeing the little guy like this, the nurses were even more endeared.
So young yet already so disciplined, he's just too amazing!
The head nurse saw her unmarried young nurses going on about how they wished they could have a child like Mu Mu, and jokingly scolded them, "You girls don't even have boyfriends yet you're dreaming about having kids, how bold!"
"Alright, stop crowding around here, get back to work!"
After joking around, those who should work still had to work, and they all scurried off again.
The head nurse came over to Mu Mu's side and smiled as she brought him over to the side, "Mu Mu, will you stay here and be good?"
Mu Mu obediently nodded, "Okay, thank you head nurse auntie."
Then he asked, "Auntie, can I draw here?"
The head nurse smiled, "Of course, do you need me to get you paper and pens?"
Mu Mu shook his head, "No need, I brought my own."
After saying so, he took out pens and a sketchbook from his little backpack, and sat down like a little adult to start drawing.
Seeing Mu Mu's well-behaved manner, the head nurse couldn't help a doting smile spreading across her face.
Ah, it really is someone else's child - not at all like her own little monkey at home, unable to sit still for even a minute.
Right then the head nurse didn't have anything else to do, so she lingered at the nurses' station for a bit.
It took her awhile before she suddenly recalled that Song Anan had said a family member would come pick up her child - who was that family member, could it be Pei Kuang?
The people in cardiothoracic surgery weren't unfamiliar with Pei Kuang, these past few years he had been a frequent visitor here, often coming to pick up Song Anan after work.
The head nurse asked, "Mu Mu, is your dad coming to get you later?"
Mu Mu lifted his head from his sketchbook and shook his head, "Dad is working on set, he can't make it."
The head nurse made a sound of surprise - if not Pei Kuang, who else could it be?
Having been colleagues for many years, she knew a bit about Song Anan's family situation. Their family structure was quite simple, no elders, usually just the three of them.
Could it be the nanny?
That wasn't right either, Song Anan had clearly said family.
Just as the head nurse was feeling confused, a man's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Mu Mu."
The head nurse turned to look, and a man wearing a mask and hat that obscured his appearance was standing outside the nurses' station, though she didn't know when he'd gotten there.
Mu Mu, who had been drawing, turned at the familiar voice and excitedly stood up, "Big brother, you've come to get me!"
Song Linchuan took off his hat and glasses and lightly nodded at the nurses, then looked towards the head nurse standing next to Mu Mu and said, "My aunt asked me to pick up Mu Mu, she told you right?"
The head nurse blankly nodded, "She did."
Without a doubt, Song Linchuan clearly fell under the category of Song Anan's family.
Song Linchuan lightly hmm-ed, and said to Mu Mu, "Let's go, we're going home."
Mu Mu obediently packed up his things and put on his little backpack, saying goodbye to everyone, "Bye aunties."
The nurses all smilingly waved goodbye to him.
Then, Mu Mu walked out of the nurses' station and took Song Linchuan's hand on his own initiative, "Big brother, let's go, don't disturb Mom's work."
The nurses: "..."
Uh...Mu Mu called them auntie, but called Song Linchuan big brother.
This randomly gave Song Linchuan an advantage, it was a bit awkward for them.
However, Song Linchuan himself had long become accustomed to this and remained completely calm, simply nodding to everyone and then casually leading Mu Mu away while holding his hand.
Watching the two brothers' retreating backs, the nurses couldn't help but think of netizens' joking descriptions and laughed out loud.
Hahaha, adult baby brother, this generation of netizens is just too savage!
Song Linchuan brought Mu Mu out of the hospital to the nearby parking lot.
They walked to a black SUV, where the car door was opened from the inside.
Seeing the person in the car, Mu Mu's eyes lit up and he happily called out, "Sis-in-law!"
Zhou Wei smiled and replied, "Mu Mu, hop in, sit with sister-in-law."
Mu Mu really liked Zhou Wei, hearing her say this, he naturally agreed without a second thought.
But he was still small with short legs, climbing into such a tall SUV on his own was a bit difficult, so he automatically held out his arms to Song Linchuan.
"Big brother, carry me."
Song Linchuan smiled as he picked him up, not forgetting to remind, "Slowly, don't bump your sister-in-law's belly."
Although not knowing why, Mu Mu still obediently hmm-ed in response.
Song Linchuan immediately got into the driver's seat, Zhou Wei and Mu Mu sat in the back row, and the car started up and quickly drove into the traffic.
Mu Mu tilted his head and looked at Zhou Wei's belly, asking, "Sister-in-law, are you uncomfortable in your belly?"
Otherwise, why wouldn't brother let me touch sister-in-law's belly, he never used to be like that before.
Zhou Wei pinched Mu Mu's little face and explained with a smile, "It's not discomfort, sister-in-law has a little baby in her belly now."
Mu Mu blinked, there's a little baby in the belly now?
He instinctively looked at Zhou Wei's belly, reacted for a moment, and said in surprise, "I know this, sister-in-law has a little sister in her belly!"
Zhou Wei smiled and asked, "Mu Mu says it's a sister?"
Mu Mu nodded heavily, "Yes, it's a sister."
Song Linchuan uttered a 'heh' and was suddenly interested: "How do you know it's a sister, not a brother?"
Mu Mu tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Because Mu Mu likes sisters more."
When Song Linchuan heard this, he was delighted, "What a coincidence, I also prefer a sister."
Having said that, he glanced at Zhou Wei through the rearview mirror and said smugly, "See, it's not just me saying this, so it must be a daughter."
Zhou Wei shook her head helplessly, this man is so childish.
Ever since confirming the pregnancy at the hospital just now, he had been saying it was a girl. Although Zhou Wei really wanted a daughter too, this was not something they could decide. fr𝚎𝗲𝐰ebnov𝐞𝐥.𝐜o𝗺
But since Mu Mu said the same thing, they might as well expect it, Zhou Wei thought.
After finishing work, Song Anan did not go straight home, but went to Song Linchuan's house to pick up her son first.
In the past two years, they had changed houses. After having Mu Mu, they always felt that there was not enough space at home, so they bought another villa in a nearby villa area.
Song Linchuan also bought one in the villa area and moved in with Zhou Wei afterward.
So now the two families were still in the same villa area, with only two households between them.
When Song Anan came over, Song Linchuan, Zhou Wei and Mu Mu were playing games in the living room on the first floor.
Seeing his mother come, Mu Mu immediately let go of Song Linchuan's hand and ran over briskly, "Mom, Mu Mu has a sister now."
Song Anan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, "Sister?"
Where did this sister come from?
Mu Mu nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice, "Yeah yeah, sister."
Then he turned around and pointed to Zhou Wei behind him, "Sister-in-law has a sister in her belly."
This time Song Anan understood what he meant. She looked at Zhou Wei with delight, "Weiwei, you're pregnant?"
Zhou Wei smiled and nodded.
Song Anan asked again, "Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "I did, the doctor said it's been four weeks and everything is very normal."
"That's great, that's really great." Song Anan was truly happy for them.
Come to think of it, they had been trying for almost two years without any news, and now they finally had it.
Song Linchuan also said with a smile, "We found out at noon today, and went to the hospital in the afternoon. When you called me in the afternoon, we were at your hospital getting checked."
Hearing this, Song Anan couldn't help frowning, "You went to our hospital, why didn't you let me know in advance? I could've helped find someone for you."
She had just assumed they got checked at another hospital, she didn't expect it was at their hospital.
Song Linchuan immediately pointed at Zhou Wei and complained, "Don't blame me, it was her who didn't want me to say anything, she was afraid it would affect you badly."
When they first discovered the pregnancy at noon, Song Linchuan's first reaction was to call Song Anan, but Zhou Wei stopped him, saying she was worried about causing trouble for her.
With no other choice, Song Linchuan could only have his assistant make an appointment first, before the two of them went over.
Song Anan held Zhou Wei's hand disapprovingly, "Weiwei, you thought too much. Our hospital has special care for family members of medical staff, it's hospital policy."
"What's more, we're family. What's all this about causing trouble or not? You're too courteous."
Song Linchuan immediately agreed, "That's right, she's my auntie, not someone else. What trouble could she possibly cause? We're all family."
Song Anan's words warmed Zhou Wei's heart. She smiled and responded, "Alright, Auntie, I won't do that again next time."
To tell the truth, Zhou Wei really liked Song Anan. Back when she wasn't with Song Linchuan yet, she already liked her very much.
Needless to say, after getting together with Song Linchuan, she liked her even more.
Zhou Wei had always felt that it was hard not to like Song Anan after spending time with her.
Song Anan also gave the couple some tips on caring during pregnancy.
But as she spoke, she suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go to our hospital for prenatal exams afterward?"
Song Linchuan replied, "We will. On the way back, Weiwei and I decided we'll deliver the baby at your hospital."
The affiliated hospital of B University was top notch nationwide, especially for large public hospitals where doctors could be trusted.
Song Anan nodded, "Good. The head of our obstetrics department is a senior classmate I'm on very good terms with. Let me give her a call later and refer her number to you."
Song Linchuan nodded repeatedly, "That's great, I feel much more assured now."
To be honest, this was their first child, and Zhou Wei was not exactly young anymore, so Song Linchuan was quite worried. On the drive home from the hospital, he had thought about asking Pei Kuang for advice.
After all, when his aunt was pregnant, that guy had gone all out.
Zhou Wei was courteous no more, and smiled in agreement.
The three chatted for a while longer, and Zhou Wei also laughingly told Song Anan about Mu Mu saying there was a sister in her belly, making her laugh nonstop.
"The last time he saw a little girl at the amusement park, he kept talking about wanting a sister when he came back. I didn't expect he still remembered it after so long," Song Anan said with a laugh.
Song Linchuan lightly knocked Mu Mu on the forehead, "I also think a sister is great."
Then he looked at Song Anan again and said, "They all say a niece takes after her auntie. My daughter will definitely be as cute as her auntie."
Hearing this, Zhou Wei's eyes also lit up.
She had seen many of Song Anan's childhood photos before, they were simply too adorable.
Song Anan paused for a moment, looking at the expectant gazes of the two, and couldn't help feeling confused: "A niece resembles her aunt, but in terms of seniority, I'm her grand aunt!"
Song Linchuan: "..."
You're right!!
