She was somewhat touched, but before she could say a word, Qi Shifeng saw through her emotions.
He approached with a mischievous smile.
"Touching? Given our relationship, there's no need to say too much. Instead of talking, just give me a kiss."
With his interruption, all of Xu Tingyu's complex little emotions vanished instantly.
She punched him gently. "Alright, I know you don't need my gratitude. Now, go to sleep."
Qi Shifeng glanced at the time. It was indeed quite late.
But he wanted to hold her for a while longer, so he refused to let go. "What about you?"
Xu Tingyu stood up directly. "Of course I'll stay with our son. I'm going to sleep soon too. Kids shouldn't stay up too late."
She and Youyou had both taken showers before Qi Shifeng came back.
So she walked directly to the bed and called out to Youyou. "Baby, it's time to sleep."
Before Youyou could come over, Qi Shifeng had already followed.
In front of his son, he behaved much more properly. At least he had already fastened his bathrobe that had previously exposed a large area of his chest and abdominal muscles.
Xu Tingyu felt him getting closer and immediately turned around to ask him, "Go back to your room."
It would be inappropriate for him to sleep here too.
Of course, the main reason was that she thought this man was dangerous. He seemed unable to control himself, and she was afraid he might do something improper at night.
Qi Shifeng seemed to see through her thoughts. He said aggrievedly and angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for?"
At most, he might just make a few small moves.
But he couldn't let her know that now.
After saying that, he lay down on the right side of the bed before anyone else and patted the mattress.
"There's only one bed. For a family of three, of course we should sleep together neatly."
Just as Xu Tingyu was about to retort, "Who's in a family of three with you?", Youyou had already taken off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.
He very consciously slept on the left side and then looked at Xu Tingyu with eager eyes. "Mom, come up quickly."
Now what Xu Tingyu was thinking about wasn't whether Qi Shifeng could stay or not.
It was why the two of them had left the middle position for her.
She stood beside the bed, her eyes full of hesitation. "Youyou, shouldn't you sleep in the middle?"
Youyou was also very confused. "But Mom always sleeps in the middle. Because Dad also wants to sleep next to Mom."
Always?
Xu Tingyu was quite shocked.
Didn't she go abroad right after giving birth to Youyou?
Why would Youyou say that she always slept in the middle?
For him to say so meant that they had met after he could remember things.
Not only had they met, but the three of them had also slept together, many times!
That meant they should have lived together at that time.
Then why, why was she now living in the UK with Qi Ye?
What exactly had happened in between?
Her heart was like a stormy sea. She was so shocked that she seemed a bit dazed.
In the eyes of the father - son duo, she was dissatisfied with the middle position.
So Youyou said aggrievedly, "Mom, don't you want to be with me? Do you just want to be with Dad? Alright then, I'll go sleep with Uncle Zou Yu."
As he said that, he sat up and was about to get out of bed aggrievedly.
Xu Tingyu quickly got onto the bed and held him down. "Mom didn't mean that."
If Youyou left, it would be even more inappropriate for her and Qi Shifeng to be here.
She hugged the child and lay down, instinctively leaning towards Youyou with her back to Qi Shifeng.
"Mom was wrong. Youyou doesn't need to leave. Mom will just stay with you like this."
She gently patted Youyou, her tone very gentle.
Youyou put on a smile again, happily hugged Xu Tingyu, and called out softly, "Mom, I love you so much."
Xu Tingyu laughed a few times. "Mom loves you too."
The two hugged and talked for a while. Then Xu Tingyu asked actively, "Do you want Mom to tell you a story?"
Youyou shook his head. "Mom has already talked to me a lot today. Your throat will hurt. Mom just needs to give me a good - night kiss."
Xu Tingyu had indeed been a bit tired after spending a whole day on the sea, so she kissed him as he asked.
Youyou was very satisfied and soon fell asleep leaning against Xu Tingyu.
After all, he was also a bit tired from flying here today.
After making sure that Youyou's breathing had become steady and he had entered dreamland, Qi Shifeng suddenly grabbed Xu Tingyu's waist and pulled her into his arms.
He had somehow gotten a quilt and covered himself with it just now.
Originally, Xu Tingyu and Youyou were under the same quilt.
Now with his pull, he pulled Xu Tingyu into his quilt.
The temperature in the room was actually just right, but after being hugged by him, Xu Tingyu's body quickly warmed up under the quilt.
The man turned her over so that she was facing him, and then whispered, "I want one too."
Xu Tingyu was completely entangled by him. She didn't dare to struggle too hard for fear of waking Youyou up. She could only say helplessly, "Can I not?"
The man laughed, with a bit of malicious triumph. "No."
After all, they had cultivated some feelings just now. Without him saying it clearly, she had already guessed what he wanted.
He had to keep it up.
Xu Tingyu simply decided to let things go.
Anyway, she had already crossed her bottom - line today. She might as well just go all the way.
She leaned closer to the man and actively gave him a good - night kiss on his forehead.
Qi Shifeng immediately laughed and relaxed completely. The hand on her waist gently stroked her from time to time.
He didn't make any further moves.
Xu Tingyu finally let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that this man had also realized that he had been excessive before and finally stopped bothering her.
If it was just him holding her like this, she could accept it.
However, she suddenly remembered what Youyou had said just now and asked again, "Qi Shifeng, how did I get along with you guys before?"
This time she was smarter and didn't directly ask when she had met Youyou before.
Because she knew that this man was deliberately hiding something.
Qi Shifeng's gentle stroking motion paused for a moment, and then he smiled and said,
"You mean before? Well, let me think. Just like now, you had to sleep in my arms every day to feel secure."
"If I came back late, you would wait for me. You couldn't be separated from me for a moment."
Xu Tingyu didn't believe that she was such a person.
Unable to be separated from him for a moment?
Impossible.
They were in a fake marriage at that time. How could she be unable to be separated from him?
Even now, she wasn't unable to be separated from Qi Ye. In fact, most of the time, she didn't even want to see Qi Ye.
Oh, that wasn't right. She didn't want to see Qi Ye because of her amnesia. She always felt that Qi Ye was a stranger.
But before her amnesia, would she be clingy if she was in a relationship?
As far as she could remember, she had never been in a relationship.
But she didn't think she had a clingy personality.
So she shook her head and said to Qi Shifeng, "You're lying to me again. I couldn't be unable to be separated from you for a moment, just like I'm not unable to be separated from Qi Ye."
The original intention of this sentence was to say that she knew her own personality.
But somehow it made Qi Shifeng unhappy.
He rolled over and pressed her down gently. The corners of his eyes were slightly red. "Can he compare with me? He's just an improper thief."
