Chapter 397 - Are You… Sulking?

Zhang Yu Han went into the side room to check on the little princess and saw that the little girl was sleeping with her little buŧŧ up in the air. 

A chuckle escaped him as he saw her daughter's sleeping pose. He walked inside and watched as she sleeps. Her mouth was slightly ajar and the pillow under her was slightly wet with drools. 

Zhang Yu Han found that her daughter was lovelier when she was asleep. He could not resist kissing her chubby cheek a few times and soon, a frown appeared on her face. Zhang Li Xue rubbed at the place where her father had kissed her and turned her head to another side before she continued to sleep.

After playing in the water for a long time, Zhang Li Xue was too tired and it would be impossible to wake her up until the next morning.

Once he was satisfied with watching her sleeping figure, Zhang Yu Han tucked her in and went back to his room. When he walked in, Li Qin Yao was in the middle of a phone call.

From the way she talked, he was able to guess that his wife was chatting with his mother.

Earlier today, they had found out that Wei Jun Hao had proposed to Zhang Yu Ying and she had agreed. Now that his mother knew of the happy news, she had wanted to prepare for a wedding right away. It has been a while since his mother had planned a wedding. Now that his wife was mostly at home, of course, she was going to help with the preparation as well.

He glanced at his wristwatch and cursed at the time difference. Sensing that the conversation between his mother and his wife would take a long time, Zhang Yu Han let out a helpless sigh.

He had accompanied his daughter and play until she was tired. Zhang Yu Han had hope that he was able to accompany his wife at night, but his mother had unknowingly robbed his wife away from him.

With nothing else that he could do, Zhang Yu Han slid the door open and stepped outside. The cold wind blew at him as he took a walk outside. The night view at the villa was breathtaking as the light illuminated the swimming pool area. Zhang Yu Han took off his slipper and stepped into the Jacuzzi. The water pressure massaged his body and he closed his eyes to relax.

"What are you doing here alone?" 

Zhang Yu Han lifted his head and looked at his wife's smiling face. Then quickly, he turned his head away. "You're done with phone calls?"

She crouched down beside the Jacuzzi and nodded. "Un. Mom was too excited upon hearing that Yu Ying said yes to Wei Jun Hao. She could not wait to come back and start organizing the wedding."

Li Qin Yao paused upon noticing that something was not right with her husband. A thought crossed her mind and her lips curled into a helpless smile. Looking at Zhang Yu Han's closed eyes, she then took off her shirt and stepped into the water. 

Hearing the sound of water, his eyes snapped open. Seeing that she was now in her two-pieces swimsuit, Zhang Yu Han found that he could not look away. His gaze then followed her as she stepped closer to him and stopped just an inch away from him. 

"Zhang Yu Han, are you… sulking?"

Zhang Yu Han blinked his eyes. He was surprised by her sudden question that it took him a few seconds to respond. "No."

Of course, he was.

A chuckle escaped her. Li Qin Yao tilted her head sideways as she continued to look into his eyes. "Really?"

"Why would I be sulking?"

Li Qin Yao looked at the frown on his face and had to suppress her laugh before her husband would be further upset. She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his ċhėst. "Alright, stop being upset. Tonight is the last night of our family vacation. Let's not leave with a bad mood."

"Are you suggesting that we should extend this vacation?"

"Xiao Ye and Secretary Tian would cry if you extend your vacation, President Zhang." Li Qin Yao poked at his hard stomach and smiled.

A year ago, Zhang Jing had decided to retire and let his son and grandchildren manage the hotel. According to him, he had work in the hospitality industry for too long, and now he wanted to stay home and start a new hobby. These days, Zhang Jing would spend his day in the backyard along with his vegetables and flowers. Though he was not a fan of eating greens, Zhang Jing thought that watching as the plants grew gave him satisfaction.

Looking at his wife's smiling face, and the finger that kept poking at his body here and there, Zhang Yu Han could no longer stay in a bad mood for too long. 

He placed his arms her shoulder and bent down to look at her. The couple spent their time staring at each other for a long time in silence. 

A smile curled on his lips as Zhang Yu Han watched his wife looked away. Although they have been married for a few years, his wife was still shy around him. He could not understand why she would still be shy around him after four years, but Zhang Yu Han could not deny that he loved seeing the tinge of red on her face.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him. She tightened her embrace and tilted her head up to kiss his lips. There was a playful smile on her lips as she pulled away.

"Zhang Yu Han."

"En?"

Her finger moved down from his ċhėst and stopped just as it reached his bellybutton. 

Of course, he was unable to fight the temptation, and soon, Zhang Yu Han leaned in to kiss her again. "What is it?"

She went closer to him and whispered, "What do you think about giving Li Xue a sibling?"

A light flashed across his eyes. "Why do you suddenly think about this?"

"It's not suddenly. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I think it's lonely to grow up as an only child. With a sibling, Li Xue will have someone who can play with her. When they grew up, they can look after each other. Just like you and Yu Ying. Li Xue will start going to kindergarten soon. I think it's a good time to have a second child, don't you think?" Li Qin Yao stared at the man in front of her for a long time and continued. "You don't want to have another child?"

"It's not that I don't want to have another child. But I worry about you. Wasn't childbirth… painful?"

"Un, it's painful. But still, I wanted to do it again. I want to give birth to your child again."
