Could Xu Zixi have taken the wrong way? Absolutely not! She did it on purpose!
Blinking her eyes, she said, "I'm not wrong, Brother Cheng. My room is in that direction."
Yan Yincheng didn't believe she was so silly that she couldn't understand his meaning. Knowing that she was always full of tricks and loved to play games with him, he tightened his grip and pulled her into his arms. Wrapping his long arm around her slender waist, he gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear,
"Are you sure you want to play this guessing game with me? Or do you want me to kiss you in front of the two kids?"
Just then, the sound of the two kids running up the stairs came from behind. When they rounded the corner and saw their daddy and mommy tightly embraced, Yuan Xiaoxuan's eyes widened, his face full of excitement.
"Wow! Look, little brother. Daddy is holding mommy! Are they going to kiss?"
The exasperation on his face completely ruined his cold and otherworldly look, making people want to laugh. Xu Zixi held back her laughter and said with a hint of grievance and flattery,
"Brother Cheng, but the two kids have never been separated from their mother for so long since they were born. You heard it when we just got off the plane. Yuan Xiaoxu said they were scared to sleep alone. I want to accompany the two kids tonight to make up for them. Is that okay?"
No! Yan Yincheng shouted in his heart. He had waited so long to return to Haicheng, and she actually wanted to leave him and sleep with the kids!
Xu Zixi didn't give him time to think. She turned to the two kids with a smile and said,
"Kids, were you scared and not used to sleeping alone these days?"
The two kids had been waiting with wide - eyed anticipation for their parents to kiss. But hearing what their mommy said, they quickly nodded vigorously. "Yes! We were so scared! It was cold!"
Xu Zixi said, "Then mommy will take a bath with you tonight and hold you to sleep. Mommy will tell you some interesting new things she saw in Fengcheng. How about that?"
At this moment, the two kids didn't care about the kiss anymore. They rushed forward and squeezed between Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi, excitedly pulling Xu Zixi's hand and chattering away. "Mommy, what interesting things are there? You have to tell us! We want to know!"
"We want to sleep with mommy!"
In an instant, the woman in his arms was snatched away by the two kids. Yan Yincheng was stunned. He never expected that even after returning to Haicheng, he still couldn't hold his woman in his arms and sleep peacefully. In fact, Aunt Shi was not his biggest obstacle. These two kids were!
These two brats had a unique advantage to compete with him! He had been too careless!
Since he couldn't get angry with the two kids, he could only grit his teeth and shout in the direction where the voices were fading away, "Xu, Zi, Xi!"
Miss Xu held back her laughter and said, "Brother Cheng, look, the two kids are also looking forward to tonight. You can't let their hopes down, right? And the doctor said your injury needs rest. The plaster won't be removed for another half - month. Please be patient for a while."
He could tell! She was snickering!
If it weren't for the two kids, he would definitely grab her back right now, hold her in his arms, and kiss her until she fainted!
However...
You can run for a while, but not forever. The night is still long. Let's wait and see!
Traces of cleaning by Aunt Zhang could be seen in Xu Zixi's bedroom. But she had only tidied up the pillows and the quilt. The furnishings in the room remained untouched.
A colorful "Golden Arowana" model made up of different Lego blocks was placed on the bedside table. Besides that, the glass, the alarm clock, the pen casually placed, and even the position of the chair were exactly the same as before she left.
It all seemed like yesterday.
When Yuan Xiaoxu saw the model fish, his eyes lit up. He ran over quickly, picked up the fish, and said to Xu Zixi, "Mommy, this is the big fish that daddy and I put together!"
He lowered his head and gave it a kiss, obviously loving this a bit ugly "Golden Arowana" very much. They had left in a hurry at that time. Many items related to Yan Yincheng and full of memories had been resolutely discarded by her, including this model fish.
She smiled, ruffled the kid's hair, and pushed her suitcase into the cloakroom. There were several suitcases on the floor that Aunt Zhang had hurriedly packed for them.
She opened the wardrobe. Inside were the clothes that belonged to her and the kids, which she hadn't taken away when she left in a hurry.
Taking advantage of her inattention, Yuan Xiaoxuan stuck his butt in and half - crawled into the wardrobe. After rummaging for a while, he took out a small sweatshirt with a Superman print on it. "I found it! The Superman sweatshirt I like! It was here all along! Mommy, I want to wear this to sleep tonight!"
With sufficient nutrition, the kids had grown a lot in the past two months. Actually, these clothes didn't fit them very well anymore, but Xu Zixi still smiled and stroked his little head and said, "Okay."
Then, Xu Zixi opened the suitcase and hung the clothes back one by one until the wardrobe was filled to the brim, as if they had never left.
After finishing all this, she walked downstairs briskly and entered the kitchen.
Aunt Li said, "Oh, Miss Xu, I can handle this. You've had a long journey. You should go and rest."
Xu Zixi smiled and rolled up her sleeves. "It's okay. Xiaoxu said he wanted to eat the candied pumpkin I made. I'll cook some delicious food for the two kids to satisfy their little appetites."
So, the two of them got busy in the kitchen. Besides making candied pumpkin for Yuan Xiaoxu, Xu Zixi also made a pumpkin taro mud puff for Yuan Xiaoxuan. Soon, the alluring aroma filled the whole house. Both the kids and Yan Yincheng came out following the smell.
Aunt Li walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and shouted, "Dinner is served!"
The two kids accompanied Yan Yincheng to the dining table.
To celebrate the family's "reunion", Aunt Li had prepared a whole table of delicious dishes today. There were three vegetarian dishes, three meat dishes, and a soup. Coupled with the two desserts made by Xu Zixi, the dinner was quite sumptuous.
When Yuan Xiaoxu was carried to his seat by Xu Zixi, his face was full of eagerness. "Wow, big white fish! Candied pumpkin!"
"And the cashew honey chicken and pumpkin taro mud puff that Xuanxuan likes best." Xu Zixi said with a smile as she pinched Yuan Xiaoxuan's chubby cheek. Yuan Xiaoxuan was so happy that his eyes curved into crescents. He gave Xu Zixi a big kiss on the face.
Yan Yincheng sniffed the smell and recognized that there was also curry beef and swallow - tail shrimp, all his favorite flavors. It seemed that Aunt Li had put a lot of effort into it.
After settling the two kids, Xu Zixi also sat down on the chair. The four - member family was complete. Then seeing that Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were still busy, she greeted them,
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, stop working. We can't finish all these delicious dishes. You two sit down and join us."
