Chapter 5

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Madam, it’s time to eat.”

Zhu Jia opened the door to see a kind-looking maid standing there. From her memory of the original owner, Zhu Jia knew this maid was Liu Yi, the only servant in the house.

Because Mo Yichen didn’t like having too many people around, he kept only one efficient maid.

“Okay, I understand,” Zhu Jia smiled at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was momentarily distracted. The madam seemed very different now. Not only had her appearance changed, but her entire demeanor had transformed. The madam, whom she had seen a few days ago, was either arrogant or downcast, never as calm and gentle as she was now.

Moreover, the madam had removed the heavy makeup, and now she looked as pure and graceful as a lotus, a natural beauty that made it hard to look away.

“By the way, Liu Yi, could you please look after the baby for a moment? I’m going downstairs to eat. I’m worried he might wake up suddenly.” Zhu Jia said helplessly.

“Of course, Madam.” Liu Yi walked quickly to the crib. When she saw Xiao Wen sleeping soundly, she sighed in relief.

Zhu Jia went downstairs and saw a table full of exquisite dishes. The portions were small but varied—sea cucumber soup with shark fin, crispy roast pigeon, pig’s feet with ginger vinegar, stir-fried celery with tofu, seasonal vegetables, fish maw chicken soup, and a sweet dessert for after the meal.

Zhu Jia’s appetite was immediately whetted. After spending the afternoon adjusting to the new life and taking care of Xiao Wen, she was starving.

She eagerly dug into the meal. It tasted so good! She licked her lips, thinking, if that bastard husband never comes home, she could eat delicious food every day, play with the baby, and spend a little pocket money.

This life would be so wonderful.After finishing the meal, Zhu Jia felt completely satisfied and returned to her room. Xiao Wen soon woke up, and Zhu Jia quickly changed his diaper and fed him. This time, she was much more skilled than before.

Looking at Xiao Wen’s satisfied expression, Zhu Jia felt a great sense of accomplishment.

System: “Host, I recommend you get some rest. This is your first night with the baby, and it may be difficult to adjust. Babies this young can wake up two to three times a night, and each waking can last anywhere from ten minutes to an hour. Please try to adjust your routine and get used to the rhythm of taking care of a baby.”

“Sigh…” Zhu Jia sighed deeply.

It seemed that the real test was only just beginning.—

The next morning, Zhu Jia woke up with two huge dark circles under her eyes, barely managing to get out of bed as Xiao Wen’s loud cries echoed.

She groggily picked him up, gently patting him to soothe him.

“Beep, 1000 points have been credited!”Zhu Jia finally understood why “sleeping with the baby” had the highest points value among all tasks.

She had gone to bed at 10 pm the night before. At midnight, Xiao Wen cried, so she changed his diaper and fed him and put him to sleep.

Then, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Finally, she managed to fall asleep, but at 4 am, Xiao Wen cried again…Zhu Jia repeated the routine of changing diapers and feeding.

When she gave him the night milk, she nodded off, almost falling asleep herself. She barely held on until around 5 am.

However, when she lay back down at 5 am, she found herself wide awake. She couldn’t resist playing with her phone, and before she knew it, the sky was beginning to lighten.

Looking out at the dark blue sky, Zhu Jia felt an overwhelming exhaustion.

This was more tiring than writing papers during her senior year. Back then, even with sleepless nights, she never felt this kind of fatigue that seemed to come from the heart.

It was like the whole night had been broken into pieces, forcing her to adapt to a terrifying new biological clock that wasn’t under her control, requiring her to wake up and fall asleep at any moment.

System: “Host, though it might not be much help to hear it, I just want to say, after a period of adjustment, it will become a habit… There is no mother who doesn’t lack sleep, but fortunately, you’re still young, so you can handle it.”

Zhu Jia helplessly forced herself to sleep, knowing there was still a lot to do when she woke up.

After sleeping in a daze for another two hours, it was already 8 am. Xiao Wen cried again, so Zhu Jia picked him up and gently patted him for a minute. Xiao Wen fell asleep again. She quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and went downstairs for breakfast, planning her shopping trip for the day.

According to the original owner’s memory, Mo Yichen had assigned her a driver.

Zhu Jia found the driver’s phone number and asked him to pick her up at 10 am.

This time, she planned to bring Liu Yi along in case she had trouble handling Xiao Wen by herself.

Returning to her bedroom, Zhu Jia opened the walk-in closet. The closet was filled with two rows of cabinets reaching up to the ceiling, filled with all kinds of clothes and bags.

There was also a large shoe cabinet packed with designer shoes and a huge vanity table with numerous beauty products.

Zhu Jia opened the wardrobe. It was filled with tight, sexy skirts. She searched for a long time before finding a few casual outfits and a pair of flat white shoes. If she was going to take care of the baby, comfort had to come first.

Otherwise, would she really wear tight skirts and high heels to change diapers for the baby?

Although she was only 22 years old, Zhu Jia really wanted to dress more beautifully and exquisitely, but reality didn’t allow it!

She put on a black T-shirt and denim shorts.

Then, she started to feel troubled because there wasn’t a single bag in her closet large enough to carry her things!

She casually pulled out a small crossbody chain bag to put her phone and bank card, planning to find a larger backpack for Xiao Wen’s stuff.Zhu Jia searched the entire room but couldn’t find a backpack big enough.

In frustration, she turned to Aunt Liu, who, with a slightly shy expression, softly said, “If Madam doesn’t mind, I have a large backpack. I washed it clean a few days ago and dried it in the sun for a long time.”

Zhu Jia was delighted and immediately asked Aunt Liu to bring it over. It was her first time taking Xiao Wen out, and Zhu Jia felt a bit nervous.

After thinking for a moment, she began packing: a can of formula, two bottles, a thermos, six diapers…

System: “Host, don’t forget to bring two extra sets of clothes. Babies often need to change clothes when going out.”

Zhu Jia added two one-piece suits and a swaddle blanket into the backpack, which was now stuffed to the brim. After that, she fed Xiao Wen a meal before preparing to leave.

When they arrived downstairs, the driver, Old Xu, was already in place. He helped Zhu Jia carry the backpack, while Aunt Liu took Xiao Wen in her arms. A sleek black Bentley was parked in front of the door.

Zhu Jia and Aunt Liu, holding the baby, got into the backseat.Zhu Jia couldn’t help but feel sorry for Xiao Wen.

Although his father owned an entire garage full of luxury cars, he didn’t even have a dedicated safety seat. Zhu Jia silently added a car seat to her shopping list.

Once inside the car, Zhu Jia curiously looked out the window. The city in *Mo Shao’s Green Plum Lover* was fictional, but it looked even more prosperous than the real-life first-tier cities.

The villa complex where Zhu Jia lived was about a 40-minute drive from the city center, and Xiao Wen was peacefully sleeping the whole way.
