Chapter 144

Noa waved her hand, "It's okay... you can continue listening to Mom Daddy."

"Oh..."

Mu En turned his head and looked at Leon and Losweiser again.

The expressions on those two's faces were similar to Noa's. If they had also tried to drink water, they probably would have spat out even more Noa.

Is the difference between a slime and a second child a bit too great?

Sure enough, while she's sensible, the Dragon girl's thought process is still quite unpredictable, even at just over a year old.

Losweiser pursed her lips and rephrased her words, "Mu En, this family member doesn't refer to slimes... nor any other pets."

Mu En scratched her head. "You asked Mu En if I'd be bored without anyone to keep me company. Mu En thought you were going to give Mu En a pet. So, Daddy Mom, what are you trying to say? Mu En feel like you're beating around the bush."

Seeing that his youngest daughter had already noticed something, Leon decided to confront her directly.

He licked his lips, observing Mu En's expression as he spoke, "It's just... your Mom is... pregnant again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ahoge (cowlick) on Mu En's head stood up straight!

And it stood up in an instant!

Those big eyes were wide open and shining!

Dragon girl's face was filled with a series of shocked adjectives, such as disbelief, incredulity, and even a mocking expression.

The steak on the plate suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

Mu En stood on a chair, her hands gripping the edge of the dining table, her little body almost pouncing onto Leon and Losweiser.

The couple quickly reached out to protect their daughter, afraid she might fall headfirst into the salad bowl.

"Really? Really? Really? Mom's really pregnant?" Mu En asked excitedly.

Losweiser blushed, nodded, touched her lower abdomen, and softly hummed in agreement.

Mu En's tail also started wagging excitedly.

"That's great!"

Seeing their youngest daughter's reaction, the couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it would be hard for them to accept, since not all children can accept the joy of having a younger sister/brother.

Even the best-natured and most sensible child can be unpredictable.

Fortunately, Mu En's reaction was genuine enough, which reassured the couple somewhat.

Yeah, right.

Before I could even relax, Mu En said something else.

"Then what else does Mu En want to..."

"Think?"

"I also want an older sister!?ω?"

Losweiser: "..."

Leon: "..."

Noa: "I understand what a sister complex is like."

Leon felt that he might have focused too much on his daughter's skills development and neglected her common sense education.

As a result, Mu En felt that whatever she wanted, her Mom could give birth to for her.

If that were truly the case, then Leon would have already reserved a "juvenile version of Losweiser" with the Dragon Queen.

If you can't bully the adult you, bullying the child you were as a child is more than enough.

"No, Mu En, Mom can't give you a sister right now..." Leon tried to explain.

Dragon girl blinked. "It's nothing."

Good daughter, your strange ideas come and go quickly, no need for your Daddy to waste his breath—

"If my sister can't do it, my brother can barely accept it," Mu En said seriously.

Leon slammed his head on the table, giving up on explaining.

In the end, it had to be the Queen who intervened.

"Mu En, neither the older sister nor the older brother will do. If we interpret it your way of saying it, then you can only choose between a younger sister and a younger brother." Ling

After a pause, Losweiser realized her own thought process had been swayed by her daughter, and quickly added, "Actually, it's not something you can choose... Whether it's a little sister or a little brother, Mom can't say for sure."

"Is that so..." Mu En's eyes lit up. "Then Mu En wants a little sister! Mom will try her best to give Mu En a little sister~"

Okay, although it still sounds a bit strange, at least Mu En understood. Lin

Losweiser smiled and nodded. "Mom will do her best."

After settling things with their younger daughter, the couple turned to their older daughter.

Unlike Mu En, Noa maintained a calm, "I knew it" demeanor.

She looked up, blinked, and said, "Hmm? Is it my turn? I have no objection, but I do have a suggestion." Hiss

The couple was taken aback, not expecting Noa to handle the situation so calmly.

But thinking about it carefully, it does fit her "kid-loving" personality.

Even if you're really excited inside, you have to act like "it's just pregnancy, no big deal."

"What suggestion do you have?" Leon asked.

"I suggest you two live together."

Leon: "Living together?..."

Losweiser: "Living together?"

Mu En: "Living together!!... What does that mean?"

Dragon girl's big eyes were filled with doubt.

Noa glanced at her sister and explained earnestly, "Cohabitation means that two people who love each other move into the same house to live together after their relationship has progressed to a certain point."

Mu En suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Come to think of it, Daddy really does always sleep in that little house and rarely sleeps with Mom."

"Honey, if I sleep with your mom a few more times, this family might fall apart, "Leon thought to himself.

Noa looked at Leon and Losweiser and slowly explained her thoughts.

"Now that Mom is pregnant, she needs someone to take care of her. But when I came back, I saw that Anna and the others didn't do anything to prepare for Mom's pregnancy. So I guess you don't plan to tell the maids yet, right?"

"I can understand why Mom did this, she probably didn't want to affect her daily work, but she is pregnant after all and can't be left alone. Mu En is young, and I am usually at the academy, so Daddy is the most suitable candidate."

After a reasoned and well-founded analysis, the couple couldn't find any points to refute it.

These two are usually incredibly sharp-tongued and quick-witted, but now that they're with their eldest daughter, they've both become mute.

"Noa, actually, Mom is still—" Losweiser tried to explain.

But Noa quickly added, "Besides, after the baby is born, won't it have to go to Daddy's current nursery? Then Daddy will still have to move in with you, Mom. It doesn't matter whether you move sooner or later, right?"

Leon was actually being persuaded, muttering, "That makes so much sense..."

That's the truth.

However, for this ill-fated couple, each harboring their own secrets, cohabitation is not something that can be implemented simply because it is reasonable.

They have always slept separately.

It is uncommon for ordinary human couples to continue sleeping in separate rooms after marriage, and this situation inevitably leads to gossip and criticism.

Leon was initially worried that since they already had a child, the fact that they were still sleeping separately might arouse suspicion.

But Losweiser said that Dragon Race don't have such strict requirements in this regard, or rather, even very loving Dragon Race couples respect each other's private space.

Because of absolute fidelity to their spouse, there's nothing to worry about even if they sleep separately.

All you need to do is give a hint when you want to have some marital relations.

However, this does not mean that Dragon Race do not cohabitate.

To everyone, including their two daughters, Leon and Losweiser were a loving couple, so it was only natural that they lived together; it would be strange if they didn't.

The couple never imagined that their hard work in maintaining a happy family would lead them into the abyss of cohabitation.

The two exchanged a glance, and Losweiser decided to argue with her daughter after all.

"Noa, actually Mom is only less than two months pregnant, it won't affect anything at all, there's no rush to have Daddy move in with me."

The implication is that we can reconsider this matter after some time.

Noa, however, kept a straight face and stubbornly shook her head, "Pregnancy is something that must be taken seriously, and we can't afford to make any mistakes."

Listening to her daughter's words and seeing her stubborn little mule-like appearance, Losweiser was a little confused.

Why is Noa so concerned about her pregnancy?

Seeing her so earnest, Losweiser had no doubt that, if she could, she would even take a leave of absence from school to go home and take care of her elderly mother.

Even though she was more mature than her peers, Losweiser had never seen Noa so stubborn about anything.

Noa's behavior stemmed from those old stories.

During the time her Daddy was in a coma, Losweiser, who had just given birth to two sisters, was depressed all the time, and Noa caught her doing so several times.

Although she was younger then than she is now, her naturally sensitive nature allowed her to sense that Mom was unhappy, frustrated, and depressed.

Noa didn't have much life experience at the time, and she didn't know what had happened between Mom Daddy.

Even so, she silently vowed in her heart that if such a situation occurred again, she would never let her Mom show that sad and heartbroken expression again.

Now that her Mom is pregnant, Noa knows she may have to face some of the troubles from the past again.

That's why she strongly suggested that her Daddy move over to take care of her Mom.

What do children know about the grudges and fates of adults? She just didn't want to make her Mom sad and heartbroken anymore.

Seeing that no one at the dinner table had made a final decision, Noa suggested, "If Mom has trouble making a decision, let's have a family vote."

"Family voting?"

"Okay, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree that Daddy and Mom should move in together, please raise your hands." Noa was the first to raise her little hand.

Mu En followed her sister's example and raised her arm high.

Leon did not immediately express his opinion, but instead looked at Losweiser.

Losweiser was standing there hesitating and struggling with her decision; Leon rarely saw her so indecisive.

That makes sense, since they were a fake couple and a fake family. Only their two adorable daughters were real; everything else was an act, so there was no need for them to live together.

Leon guessed that Losweiser would definitely vote "no".

Then I'll just cast a dissenting vote myself, and if it ends in a 2-2 tie, the result will be either maintaining the status quo or we'll see what happens later.

I guess Losweiser thought the same thing, to delay as long as possible.

However, Losweiser's answer surprised Leon somewhat.

"I... I'll abstain."

The father and his two daughters were stunned. Had they actually given up voting?

Leon narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Losweiser. What exactly was this Dragon Queen up to?

However, if she abstains, wouldn't that mean Leon's last vote was completely meaningless...?

After a brief moment of surprise, both daughters turned to look at their Dad.

Leon, however, was not actually very affected.

Living with Losweiser didn't have a significant impact on him.

When it comes to "handing in homework," the two are currently evenly matched.

As long as he doesn't get caught in a trap like he did a few nights ago and gain the upper hand with moral pressure, Leon is basically safe.

Moreover, cohabitation also has some advantages.
