However, upon returning to his room, he still opened his terminal to monitor the movements outside Lu Wanqing's door downstairs. He only relaxed when he saw Lu Wanqing return to her own room.
No matter what, Lu Wanqing's identity as a revived ancient corpse was too special, and they still had to be cautious.
That night, Mu Sijie barely slept. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, or that he couldn't sleep, but he dared not sleep.
Lu Wanqing's identity was too extraordinary. Such a revived ancient corpse was living in their home. If he didn't pay close attention, he was afraid that other members of the family would be in danger.
But he stayed up until morning, and when the butler uncle downstairs woke up, there was still no movement from Lu Wanqing's guest room. Mu Sijie finally felt relieved.
Mu Sijie went downstairs and informed Uncle Bojian, asking him to keep an eye on the movements from Lu Wanqing's guest room. He even specifically granted Bojian access to the surveillance footage outside Lu Wanqing's guest room before returning to his own room to sleep.
However, after returning to his room, he didn't sleep for long before waking up again.
The thought of a revived ancient corpse living in their house constantly reminded him, preventing him from resting easy.
He woke up groggily and checked the time, realizing he had only slept for half an hour this time. But he didn't dare to sleep anymore; he wanted to go out and see.
How was Lu Wanqing doing?
Had she come out to do anything while he was asleep?
Thinking this, Mu Sijie put on his clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as he reached the first floor, he heard Lu Wanqing and Uncle Bojian talking in the kitchen. He listened secretly for a while and was somewhat surprised. Did Lu Wanqing want to cook?
For Mu Family, customizing a pot from three thousand years ago was a simple matter. So he walked in directly and told Uncle Bojian to customize a kitchen for her.
His appearance seemed to startle Lu Wanqing, but her subsequent reaction made him chuckle.
She was actually afraid that customizing these things would be troublesome for them…
For the first time, Mu Sijie found Lu Wanqing to be quite cute.
So he directly decided to go ahead with customizing the kitchen, instructing Uncle Bojian to make the arrangements.
Uncle Bojian, always meticulous in his work, quickly noted down his instructions.
Later, Lu Wanqing looked around the kitchen with curiosity at everything, which made her seem even more endearing. Mu Sijie watched and patiently introduced her to various items.
After spending some time together, Mu Sijie inexplicably found that some aspects of Lu Wanqing were very similar to Lanlan. Or rather, it was no wonder Lanlan was cultivated using Lu Wanqing's genes. Even though the child had not interacted with Lu Wanqing since childhood, their personalities were somewhat alike.
Perhaps this similarity made Mu Sijie feel more亲切 towards Lu Wanqing, and their initial fear subsided.
After breakfast was ready, everyone should prepare to eat. Mu Sijie was no exception.
However, Mu Sijie did not expect that at this moment, Lu Wanqing would suddenly run upstairs.
Mu Sijie was startled and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Lanlan should be waking up soon. I'm going to take care of him waking up," Lu Wanqing called back.
Mu Sijie was stunned. He reacted and wanted to explain, but Lu Wanqing ran very fast and went straight up.
The other members of the Mu family, his parents, grandparents, and sister, all came down.
Mu Sijie was still uneasy about upstairs. After a moment's hesitation, he followed them upstairs.
Then he saw Lu Wanqing and Lanlan confronting each other at the door of the room, and the tone in which Lu Wanqing was speaking…
How to put it?
Mu Sijie inexplicably felt a little guilty, as if they hadn't taken good care of the child.
So he couldn't help but explain to Lu Wanqing that taking care of children in this era was no longer like in ancient Earth times. They had robot nannies, and the robot nannies would take excellent care of the children.
However, after saying all these explanations, Mu Sijie found that Lu Wanqing seemed… unconvinced?
"I'll take care of him from now on," Lu Wanqing said in the next moment, confirming his suspicion.
Mu Sijie wanted to argue, but Lu Wanqing soon added that the child was young and needed parental love. He then understood Lu Wanqing's intention.
In fact, how to care for children had always been a controversial topic in the interstellar era. A large portion of people believed that children needed parental companionship and care, while others felt that robots could take good care of children, and children raised by robots were more independent.
Lu Wanqing's view on childcare seemed to lean more towards the former, which was different from their family's concept of using robots to raise children.
However…
Mu Sijie hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not object to Lu Wanqing's stance. After all, Lu Wanqing was Lanlan's biological mother, and how Lanlan should be cared for was not his decision alone; Lu Wanqing also had the right to decide.
"Let's go, Mommy will take you downstairs, and we'll go have breakfast!" As Lu Wanqing looked down at the child, her aura seemed to change again, transforming into that of a gentle mother.
Lanlan was still a bit afraid of this mother who had suddenly appeared. However, while wary, the child instinctively yearned for his mother.
Perhaps afraid that he would not agree to his closeness with his mother, Lanlan secretly looked at him.
Mu Sijie did not give the child any hints. He inexplicably did not want to make the decision for the child. Whether to be close to his mother should be Lanlan's own choice.
In the end, Lanlan decided to be close to his mother.
"Okay!" Lanlan looked at Lu Wanqing and happily agreed.
The next moment, Lu Wanqing took Lanlan's small hand, and the two, one big and one small, walked downstairs together.
Mu Sijie followed behind, looking at the harmonious scene of mother and son ahead. He actually felt a sense of warmth from their backs?
If Lu Wanqing were not a revived ancient corpse, he thought he might agree to marry her, as long as she was good to Lanlan.
When they arrived downstairs, they ate together.
After eating their fill, it was time to send the child to kindergarten.
Lu Wanqing was Lanlan's mother. Mu Sijie felt that she should also, like himself, pick up and drop off the child at kindergarten. This was also Lu Wanqing's purpose for coming to his home: to care for and accompany the child.
With this in mind, Mu Sijie proposed to Lu Wanqing that she send the child to kindergarten.
Lu Wanqing clearly paused, but she quickly reacted and somewhat hurriedly agreed, "Okay."
So they got into the hovercar together and took Lanlan to kindergarten.
This was the first time Lanlan was sent to kindergarten by both his father and mother.
Sitting in the hovercar, although Lanlan didn't speak, the joy radiating from him exposed his emotions—Lanlan really liked Lu Wanqing as his mother.
