Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 183 Baby won't be angry with Mommy!
Before the engagement banquet, Lu Lianbai continued to take care of Jing Xiaoyu as if nothing had happened.

Following the residency procedures of the capital city, he took his baby to the Star Authority to register his identity information and purchase the necessary daily necessities for the baby.

I also found a beautiful fish tank that's perfect for my baby to play in.

The baby also really likes that fish tank.

I stared longingly at the fish tank from the corner for a long time.

Afraid of causing her father unnecessary burden, she hurriedly looked away when he came to the counter to pay.

She returned to her father's side very sensibly, without mentioning the fish tank at all.

Lu Lianbai, however, witnessed this scene silently.

He certainly knew what the baby was worried about.

The mermaid's own pearl scales are extremely valuable and can be exchanged for enough star coins to support him and his baby's life in the Empire.

Unfortunately, according to Platinum, the Alliance Empire has been rigorously investigating illegal experimental subjects in various star sectors for the past year.

The mermaid traces previously discovered in the Alliance Empire were all from illegally modified, contaminated experimental subjects in the underground trading port.

Therefore, if Lu Lianbai were to expose his mermaid identity, he would only bring trouble upon himself, either being targeted by lawbreakers or by the military that oversees the experimental subjects.

Neither of these is what Lu Lianbai wants.

Therefore, Lu Lianbai's current assets are basically the savings he accumulated during the past six months of part-time work on Planet Gro.

Lu Lianbai himself didn't care much about food and clothing, but he could never bear to let his baby suffer even the slightest injustice.

Besides, it's rare for a baby to take a liking to something.

It is still an essential part of the development of baby mermaids.

On that day, the shopping mall sent a specialist to deliver and install the fish tank as agreed.

Jing Xiaoyu was just about to take the bath tub to her father's place to take a bath when she saw her father leading people from outside to bring in a fish tank for installation. She was both shocked and delighted.

"Dad! This is the beautiful fish tank we saw at the mall?!"

Lu Lianbai patted the baby fish's head, "Hmm, after a couple of days of water conditioning, the baby can swim and play."

Jing Xiaoyu was so happy that her two little ear fins almost popped out from under her hair.

He stretched out his little arms, wanting his father to hug him. But after his father picked him up, he belatedly realized something, and the smile on his little face gradually faded. He frowned and muttered:

"But Daddy, fish tanks are so expensive! Baby can play in the water in a bathtub too!"

She shook her father's neck again and whispered, "Dad, maybe we should return the fish tank..."

"An inexpensive baby."

Lu Lianbai told Jing Xiaoyu about his passing the advanced healer exam and comforted Yu Zai, saying, "When Dad goes to work in the medical department in a few days, he'll be able to earn back the money he spent on the fish tank."

Hearing her father say this, Jing Xiaoyu clenched her little fists even more and made up her mind to find a way to help her father earn money!

At night, right after being fed, Jing Xiaoyu couldn't wait to crawl into the wooden cabinet her father had made for her and rummage through it for pretty clothes.

When Lu Lianbai finished washing and changing the baby's clothes and came into the room, he saw that the wardrobe door was half open.

The little fish's two tiny feet were still sticking up and kicking against the cabinet door. He went over and helped pick up the few pieces of clothing that had accidentally fallen under the cabinet door, folded them neatly, and squatted down in front of the cabinet door, asking with a mix of laughter and tears, "Baby, what were you doing crawling in there?"

Jing Xiaoyu's muffled huffing came from inside the closet, "Looking for, looking for pretty clothes..."

"Which piece of clothing are you looking for, Daddy, can you help me find it?"

As Lu Lianbai was speaking, Jing Xiaoyu had already slid out of the cabinet, clinging to the door. "Hmm... I found it!"

With her messy, frizzy hair sticking up, Jing Xiaoyu took out a stylish and cute blue and white striped overalls set from the closet.

These are the new clothes my dad bought for me on Planet Groo a while ago.

That day, Dad had just passed his therapist certification exam. He told himself that he could soon take him to the capital planet to see Mom.

So Dad bought Jing Xiaoyu and himself a very formal and beautiful new outfit, saying that they should both dress up nicely to see Mom.

Jing Xiaoyu had always remembered this incident. Sure enough, after panting as she came out of the closet, she looked up and saw her father still staring blankly at the little clothes he was holding in his arms, motionless.

Jing Xiaoyu thought her father had forgotten, so she raised her little hand to wipe her face, and then mysteriously leaned closer to her father and said:
"While Dad was working in the kitchen, I overheard him talking to Auntie on the phone, saying that he's taking the baby to see Mommy tomorrow!"

"Dad, didn't you say we were going to dress up nicely to see Mom? Dad, have you forgotten?"

Jing Xiaoyu was so excited at the thought of finally seeing his mother, whom he had longed to see for so long, that he wanted to immediately raise the tip of his fish tail.

After a long while, Lu Lianbai finally slowly opened his eyes and said to the little boy with a face full of anticipation, "Daddy remembers."

He carried the baby back to the crib, intending to put away the baby's clothes for tomorrow.

The little guy, as if afraid he wouldn't be able to find it when he woke up the next day, hugged his little clothes tightly and mumbled, "I want to sleep with you..."

Lu Lianbai remained silent for a while, then patiently spoke to his baby:

“Baby, do you remember what Daddy told you? Before you hatched, Mommy had some very important things to take care of on the capital planet, so she temporarily left us?”

Jing Xiaoyu buried her face in her clothes, rubbing her eyes sleepily, "Remember..."

"So, Mommy hasn't seen what you'll look like after you hatch and grow up. If Mommy doesn't recognize you right away tomorrow, don't be angry with Mommy. Mommy definitely didn't mean to not recognize you, okay?"

Jing Xiaoyu raised her little hand and patted the back of his hand, pouting her pink lips, as if to comfort her father who had been worried lately:
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'm not that childish, and I won't get angry with Mommy!"

Lu Lianbai was relieved, and his eyebrows and eyes finally relaxed.

Even though Lu Lianbai had read the engagement news countless times since yesterday, he still couldn't find any reason not to go to the event to meet his wife.

Even his only worry from beginning to end was that his wife might not recognize their baby.

Despite feeling a vague sense of melancholy and sadness in my heart.

Despite Platinum repeatedly berating him for this matter.

Lu Lianbai still stubbornly believed in one thing—

As long as he shows up at that so-called engagement party tomorrow.

As long as his wife can see that he's here...

As long as his wife sees him return to her side with their baby, and sees how adorable and clever he is in taking care of their baby, she will definitely not get engaged to that strange human again.
