Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Dong Yunshan opened her mouth, her voice muffled. "Want to do it again?"

Yukino Yukinoshita warned, "You're not allowed to eat this time."

Dong Yunling's small hands were freed, and she stopped hitting Dong Yunshan. She picked up a piece of fruit, put it in his mouth, and pushed his chin to make him close his mouth.

Dong Yunshan shut her mouth and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita for her next instructions.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Ah~"

Dong Yunshan: "Ah~"

Dong Yunling stuffed another piece in.

After repeating this several times, when Dong Yunshan's mouth was full, Dong Yunling started taking more out and putting it back into her own small bowl.

A look of realization flashed across Higashi Dong Yunshan's eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita to confirm.

Yukino Yukinoshita suppressed a laugh, "Just like you guessed, Lingling wasn't feeding you, she was going to put it in your mouth and then take it out, but you ate it, so of course she got angry."

Dong Yunshan blinked again.

"That's all we can do for now. Let's wait until she's had her fill of fun before we talk about it further." Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled softly. "Who told you to tease her like that?"

Dong Yunshan: "..."

After taking the fruit pieces, Dong Yunling then pried open Dong Yunshan's mouth and checked it for a while before letting go.

Dong Yunshan looked utterly dejected. "Lingling, let's do something different—"

Lingling, satisfied with her fruit pieces, gave Dong Yunshan a big kiss on the cheek. "Mua~ Good Daddy~"

Dong Yunshan: "... Let's play one more round!"

"No~" Lingling got up and walked to the side to play on the spinning toy.

Dong Yunshan: "..."

Seeing her daughter engrossed in playing, Dong Yunshan went to do her daily exercise.

Pull-ups to warm up, Dong Yunshan picked up dumbbells--

"No!" Dong Yunling walked over, "Let it go!"

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan held the dumbbells higher to avoid hitting her daughter. "What's wrong?"

"Put it down..." Lingling put one hand on her hip and pointed at the dumbbell in Dong Yunshan's hand with the other. "No! It's dangerous!"

"She touched your dumbbells before, and I told her off," Yukino Yukinoshita said helplessly. "She remembered it."

"Quickly!" Lingling gently patted Dong Yunshan's leg, "Sweetie~"

"Okay, okay~ whatever you say." Dong Yunshan put the dumbbells aside. "Then let's continue playing..."

Dong Yunling: "No!"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the dejected Dong Yunshan and smiled, mimicking his tone. "It seems that even after Lingling's self-awareness began to sprout, she is still quite considerate."

Dong Yunshan immediately asked for help, "Mom, please help me!"

"I just can't do anything with you." Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly. "Lingling, can't you let Daddy and Mommy play instead?"

"No!" Lingling, who had just walked away, immediately returned and hugged Dong Yunshan's leg. "Daddy... and Lingling..."

Dong Yunshan cast a grateful glance at Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yukino Yukinoshita's adorable smile carried an even more endearing hint of smugness.

Only after Lingling got tired of playing and fell asleep did Dong Yunshan have time to exercise.

After finishing their workout and taking a shower, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita organized some documents together.

After busying herself for a while, Lingling, who had just woken up, sat up and said in a soft, indistinct voice, "Drink milk~"

"Okay~" Yukino Yukinoshita put down the documents in her hand, "Mommy will go heat up your milk."

"No~" Dong Yunling rubbed her eyes, "Daddy go~"

"Okay, okay." Dong Yunshan stood up. "Wait a moment."

Dong Yunling wiggled her little feet. "Mommy, hey~"

Yukino Yukinoshita out a soft sigh, "Okay~"

The couple exchanged a glance; one was holding the baby, the other was warming milk, each with their own task.

Yukino Yukinoshita only fed her for a short while, and then Lingling started drinking from the bottle on her own.

More than breastfeeding, Lingling cherishes being cuddled while drinking milk.

When Xue's mother returned from outside, Dong Yunling had just finished drinking her milk.

Hearing the sound, she ran over excitedly. "Grandma~"

"Lingling, my sweetie~" Mother Xue put down what she was holding. "Did you have a good day?"

"Lingling... happy..." Dong Yunling hugged Xue Mu's leg, tilted her head, "No..."

"Hmm?" Snow Mother picked up Lingling and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Daddy... Lingling... bite me..." Dong Yunling held her hand up to her mother's face. "It hurts here..."

Snow Mother silently looked at Dong Yunshan.

Dong Yunshan: "... I can explain."

Chapter 949 Educational Issues

Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder. "Mom~ Can we talk about something?"

"Behave yourself." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced slightly at the direction where Yukino's mother and Lingling were.

"Lingling ~" Xue's mother spread out several picture books. "Let's finish reading all of these, and then go to Grandma's room for a nap, okay?"

Lingling tilted her little face up. "No..."

"Then let's go now." Snow Mother picked up Lingling and went into the room.

He closed the door behind him.

Yukino Yukinoshita and pinched him. "Why did you suddenly want to?"

"I've been thinking about this for a long time." Dong Yunshan took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "Let's get a cat."

"No matter how long I think about it, I can't... wait, huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "Raise a cat?"

"Yes, that's right," Dong Yunshan said with a smile in her eyes, "What you're thinking is..."

"Shut up." Yukino Yukinoshita covered Dong Yunshan's mouth. "Have you been thinking about this for a long time?"

"You've always wanted to have one," Dong Yunshan said, taking her small hand. "We talked about this before I was pregnant with Lingling, but after Lingling was born, we haven't had the time or energy. Now it should be fine."

"But..." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, "Lingling is only two years old, she doesn't know how to interact with kittens yet..."

"I see~" Dong Yunshan gazed at her face, watching her expression change. "Then let's wait until she's three to raise her?"

"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly, "I'll get a cat whose personality is already set, over one year old, preferably one that has lived with toddlers before, to effectively prevent them from hurting each other... maybe over two years old."

"But you wanted to raise a kitten, as you told me," Dong Yunshan asked softly. "If we raise a kitten, how old should Lingling be?"

"At least five years old, Lingling can truly understand the rules, her motor control becomes more stable, and she begins to develop empathy." Yukino Yukinoshita pondered seriously, "Six to eight years old is a more prudent period..."

"Four to six years later would be more suitable." Dong Yunshan shook Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "So when do you want to start raising them?"

"I want to wait four years..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up to meet Dong Yunshan's gaze, her voice fading.

"No, you want to have your own kitten now, but for various reasons, you feel it shouldn't be, it's not safe, it's inconvenient." Dong Yunshan chuckled, "What we need to do now is solve these problems, not wait until four or six years later to solve them."

"That's true..." Yukino Yukinoshita still hesitated, "How do we solve the inconvenience problem?"

"We have enough rooms at home. We'll clear out one and give the kitten its own space so Lingling and the kitten won't be around each other yet," Dong Yunshan blinked. "That will make it easier to take care of her."

"That's a risky issue..."

"Once the kitten settles down and my daughter wants to interact with it, we'll find a suitable time each day to spend time with it. If we notice anything amiss, we'll stop it immediately and continue the isolation." Dong Yunshan tilted her head. "Wouldn't that be safer?"

"And..." Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her grip on Dong Yunshan's hand slightly, "...questions that shouldn't be asked."

Now, Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan are busy with their studies, work, and taking care of their baby.

Snow's mother also came over to help.

During times like these, you still need to keep pets...

"This is the simplest question." Dong Yunshan cupped her cheeks and gently kissed her forehead. "Whether it's studies, work, or taking care of a baby, you need a good mood. A kitten can make you feel better, so getting a cat is something you should do."

Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes shimmered. "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Dong Yunshan nodded vigorously. "I'll choose a suitable room, I'll tidy it up, and then we'll go pick out a kitten."

"I want to talk to Mom about it," Yukino Yukinoshita, giving him a light kiss on the lips. "At least I should tell her."

"Mmm~" Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita, "Kiss her first, then we'll go."

"Get a cat?" Xue's mother frowned slightly, glancing at Lingling was already asleep. "You've discussed it?"

"I wanted to wait until Lingling is a bit older before raising her..." Yukino Yukinoshita briefly recounted their previous conversation, "But Yunshan supports starting now."

Snow Mother bent her fingers and rested them on her chin. "Yes, now is indeed a better time."

"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita somewhat surprised, "Is it... better?"

"Your judgment is indeed correct. Raising a child to an adult cat after the age of three, or a kitten between the ages of six and eight, can ensure that the child and the cat get along better." Xue's mother paused, "But that's a theoretical and universally applicable judgment. The specifics still depend on actual actions."

"Mom means that, provided it's safe, letting Lingling interact with small animals earlier will better cultivate her related abilities?"

"That's right, it can also fill some gaps in your education."

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback. "Did I do something wrong?"

Snow Mother reminded her, "Haven't you noticed that Lingling often talks nonsense?"

"She's still young..." Yukino Yukinoshita argued, "And she wasn't just talking nonsense; she was expressing her own thoughts."

Snow's mother stared at her daughter. "Even if she's talking nonsense, can you understand what she means?"

"Yes."

"That's why she doesn't speak properly," Snow's mother pointed out the key point, "That's why her language skills have developed more slowly."

Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lower lip.

"There's also the issue of the Sensitive Period for Order. She's still building her sense of internal order through external order. This is the foundation of logical thinking, rule awareness, and a sense of security. We should understand and accept this, and try our best to provide an orderly environment." Mother Xue gently patted the sleeping Lingling. "But you've gone too far. You can't just satisfy her demands for order all the time. When necessary, you should also make her realize that order can be disrupted. This way, she can learn how to repair order and adjust the rules to cope with more complex situations."

Looking at her thoughtful daughter, Xue's mother said earnestly, "Don't try to protect every branch a bird perches on; let the bird truly learn to fly."

"Mom..." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly, "Why didn't you tell us these things before?"

"We'll have to see how you behave first. If you don't respect the order of the Lingling ..." Mother Snow unfolded her folding fan, "Then I'll have to put it another way."

Chapter 950 The Cat Project

"Mom knows we're reluctant to let her go, so she doesn't force us to completely ignore Lingling's nonsense or deliberately disrupt her little routine." Yukino Yukinoshita linked arms with Dong Yunshan. "In this situation, a kitten that isn't quite well-behaved can fill that void—so getting a kitten now is appropriate."

"No wonder she's my mother-in-law," Dong Yunshan exclaimed. "She can even offer advice like that... I've learned something new."

"Mom's analysis was from an educational perspective, not an attempt to persuade..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "Wait..."

"Ah..." Dong Yunshan blinked, "Did I accidentally reveal something?"

"Maybe Mom sensed that I was still a little hesitant," Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "So she used this reason to dispel my last bit of anxiety."

"Given my mother-in-law's personality, I feel she might have both ideas," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "There are two layers beneath the first, her thoughts are as layered and complex as a mille-feuille."

"Shut up~" Yukino Yukinoshita pinched the muscle on his arm. "Although I think so too."

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cat cafe, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

Dong Yunshan pushed open the familiar glass door and rang the doorbell softly.

"Welcome—ah, it's you!" Hearing the voice, the shop assistant recognized the customers and a surprised smile appeared on her face. "Long time no see, your child must be two years old by now."

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita smiled gently as she thought of her daughter, "She says no every day now."
