It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

Lin Xiaoyu was lying on the ground, her forehead must have hit somewhere, and a trail of blood was running down her brow bone.

She was only wrapped in a bath towel, which came undone when she fell, revealing several shocking bruises on her fair skin.

In her panic, she tried to stand up by pushing herself up, but she fell back down after only managing to get halfway up.

Chen Mo disregarded any need to avoid suspicion, placed the child in the crib, then grabbed a clean bath towel from the shelf, wrapped it around her, and picked her up from the floor.

Lin Xiaoyu leaned limply against him, the blood on her forehead smeared on his chest.

He carried her into the bedroom in a few quick steps and placed her on the bed.

"Sister-in-law, I'll call an ambulance right away."

Chen Mo took out his phone, and Lin Xiaoyu placed her hand on his wrist.

"No...it's just...it just slipped a little."

Lin Xiaoyu was conscious and tried to touch her forehead, but Chen Mo stopped her, saying, "Don't move, you're still bleeding."

He fetched the medicine box and returned to the bedside. Lin Xiaoyu had already pulled the blanket up to cover her body, leaving only her head exposed, her ears very red.

Chen Mo helped her treat her wounds.

"How could you be so careless?"

"I've probably been too tired lately. When I opened the door just now, I was a little dazed, my legs went weak, and I slipped."

"You hit your head, you should get it checked out."

"No need, I know what I'm doing."

At that moment, the baby cried in the crib.

Chen Mo picked him up and comforted him for a while, but he couldn't stop.

"Give me the child; he's probably hungry."

Chen Mo handed the child to Lin Xiaoyu, then closed the door and left.

"Chen Mo, it's late, you should go home. I can manage on my own."

"No rush, I'll call Xiaotong back."

Lin Xiaoyu wanted to say, "No need, it's no trouble," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Her mind was filled with the image of him holding her just now.

The moment he picked her up, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

I even wanted him to stay.

This feeling and these thoughts are terrifying.

She shouldn't feel this way.

She had only been away from home for a short time; how could she possibly be so attached to her brother-in-law's care?

The more she thought about it, the heavier her guilt became.

Clang! The picture frame on the wall tilted slightly, and the person in the picture, Xiang Nan, seemed to be looking at her.

She screamed in fright.

Chen Mo rushed in again, "Sister-in-law, where else does it hurt?"

"No...it's just that the picture frame suddenly became crooked."

Chen Mo looked at the wall, somewhat speechless, and immediately went over to straighten it.

But after I straightened it, it tilted again. Upon closer inspection, I found that the hook on the picture frame was a bit too big and the nail was a bit too small.

He squeezed the hook hard to make the hole smaller, then hung it up again and pressed down on the picture frame.

"Brother Nan, what's up? I'm taking care of your wife and children, do you have a problem with that?"

"But you asked me to take care of you, don't worry, I'll take good care of you. You can rest in peace down there and be reborn into a good family."

He let go, and the picture frame indeed stopped moving.

He turned around, looked at Lin Xiaoyu, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, see, Brother Nan has no objections."

Lin Xiaoyu's face was already flushed red. She glared at him and said, "What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

[I'm going to die, I'm going to die! How could this person be like this? They seem to have no inhibitions at all, but...]

"I'm not making this up. Before Brother Nan passed away, he did ask me to be his brother-in-law so that he could take care of you and your niece."

Lin Xiaoyu looked at Chen Mo, her lips moving slightly.

"Chen Mo, there's something... I..."

"What?"

"It's nothing, you can go out now."

"Okay." Chen Mo knew that Lin Xiaoyu wanted to say that.

He certainly didn't mind listening.

Anyway, the child is his, so whether he says it or not is not important to him.

He actually hoped Lin Xiaoyu would tell him, so he wouldn't feel so conflicted.

He sat in the hall, looking at the portrait of the deceased facing south on the wall.

Just then, the door opened, and Xiang Tong rushed in anxiously.

"Brother Mo, is my sister-in-law alright?"

"It's nothing, she just bumped into something by accident. Go in and check on her."

Xiang Tong breathed a sigh of relief as she entered the house.

"Brother Mo, thank goodness for you. If you weren't here, the consequences would have been too severe."

"Who told you to rush out to investigate the market? We're not short of money. The most important thing right now is to take care of your sister-in-law and the children."

"My bad. I'm just a hot-blooded person and didn't think things through. I won't go tomorrow. It's a pity. I just got the job, and the store manager thought I was pretty good."

"That's right! Starting tomorrow, let your sister-in-law rest well and take walks every day. You just need to take care of the inventory and leave the rest to the employees."

"Okay." Xiang Tong snuggled up to him and kissed him.

"Brother Mo, don't go back tonight, sleep with me."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Okay! Tonight, I..." Xiang Tong whispered something in his ear.

Chen Mo swallowed hard and nodded.

At that moment, Chen Mo received a call from Li Qiang.

"Xiao Mo, I'm off work. Got some time? Let's grab a late-night snack and chat about what you've been up to lately. Your sister-in-law wants to introduce you to her best friend, so I need to find out more about her."

"I'm busy, I'm with my girlfriend right now, so I don't need my sister-in-law to introduce me to her best friend."

"Damn, when was this?"

"recent."

After hanging up the phone, I said, "Xiaotong, let's wash up and go to bed."

"Um."

After taking a shower, they went inside immediately.

The next morning, Chen Mo glanced at his phone.

Gu Qingyao has not yet replied.

Perhaps, I really don't want to have anything to do with him.

She had already repaid his favor by introducing Luo Li to him.

Never mind, I still have to rely on myself. I'll go back and study to improve myself, just in case.

"System, as your host, don't you feel ashamed to have to study so hard yourself?"

[Ding dong. 】

He sat up abruptly.

Xiang Tong panicked and sat in his lap, hugging him tightly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Mo kissed her.

"It's okay, you can go back to sleep."

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I need to be more diligent."

"Why are you working so hard?" Chen Mo picked up his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Xiang Tong.

"Take it and spend it. Your sister-in-law is reluctant to spend money and doesn't want to eat well. Otherwise, the child won't get enough nutrition."

"Don't push the store so hard lately. As the boss, you should focus on management and training your employees instead of doing everything yourself. Read more books first."

Xiang Tong nuzzled his face affectionately, "Okay, I'll listen to my husband. Husband, hug me, let's sleep."

Chen Mo held her, lay back down, and looked at the system panel in front of him.

[Congratulations, host! Your fifth offspring has been born and has survived for a full month in good health.]

[10 Eye of the X-ray have been collected. Combine them now?]

Chen Mo dared to say that this was the most understanding system.

"synthesis."

The ten fragments merged, transforming into a beam of light that entered Chen Mo's eyes.

My eyes stung, so I immediately closed them, but the sensation quickly turned into a cool sensation.

[Gained Ability: X-ray Vision. The ability to see through metal and stone, to discern the surface and interior of objects, hidden damage, age-old patina, and even the details of forgeries, revealing every minute detail.]

He opened his eyes and activated his X-ray vision.
