Chapter 588 - A Beating

"Pretty sister, you're really pretty," said little Xena as she tugged at Cloe's clothes to get her attention. Cloe's heart melted when she looked at this cute baby girl. Ugh, no wonder that Soren loved to show off his adorable twins. They were really adorable!

Cloe picked her up and said, "Honey, I think you are prettier."

Little Xena giggled, "Thank you!"

"How cute," commented Cloe as she hugged this soft baby in her arms. 

"Yes, yes, pretty sister is just as pretty as our mom," said little Sammy.

Cui Xukun held his forehead, "What do you mean by a sister? I'm your Uncle. She is my girlfriend so that makes her your aunt."

Little Sammy tsked at his uncle's intelligence, "Uncle, don't you know that women don't like to be called aunt? How can you be so dumb?"

Cloe chuckled at how a kid was questioning Cui Xukun's intelligence now. Cui Xukun wanted to say something but seeing how happy Cloe looked, he held himself back. As long as she was happy, did it even matter if he was called dumb or an idiot? He did not think so.

In the end, Cloe and Cui Xukun both became part of Sammy and Xena's little play. One acted as the victim and the other was the murder suspect. Cloe was repeatedly surprised by how thorough these twins were with their casual play. Everything had to make sense and everything was thoroughly laid down like they were really collecting evidence or something.

The more she stayed with them, the more she loved the twins. And then it was bound to happen, "I've decided!"

"What? To marry me sooner?" asked Cui Xukun cheekily.

Cloe pushed his face away, "No! I've decided to go shopping!"

"Huh?" Cui Xukun was confused. Where did that come from? 

Cloe pointed at Sammy and Xena who came down after cleaning up and said, "Just look at them. They are so cute. I can't control my heart. My hand is itching to spend some money and dress them up."

"If you wanna play dress up, they have plenty of things in their closet," said Cui Xukun.

"That's different," said Cloe. "Let's go. I have to take them out." She went up to Xena and asked, "Do you want a princess dress?"

"I already have plenty," said little Xena. "But it can never be enough. One more is still acceptable."

Cui Xukun rolled his eyes at his niece while Cloe was satisfied with that answer. She rubbed Xena's head lovingly, "Then let me buy you a new one. Okay?"

"Okay," Xena agreed cutely and even kissed Cloe's cheek. "You're really good. I like you."

"I like you a lot too," said Cloe as she kissed Xena as well.

"What about me?" asked Sammy from the side.

"I like you too," said Cloe while she kissed him too. "I'll buy you the newest model of the toy car."

"But I like planes," told Sammy.

"Then we'll get planes!"

Cui Xukun facepalmed himself. How did he not know that his girlfriend had a thing for cuteness? She fell pretty hard and fast for these two kiddos.

However, he still stepped over to tell her, "Cloe, I know you like them but don't do it."

"Do what?"

"Buy them stuff like this," said Cui Xukun. "My sister doesn't like it. These two have a fixed quota of new toys that they can get every month after their monthly assessments. Jie doesn't like to spoil them that much. She even lectures brother-in-law when he doesn't follow the rules and I can even get a beating. Let's not do it, eh?"

Cloe tsked at him, "If your sister has a problem, send her to me. Currently, I feel like spending money. What does that have to do with anyone? If I feel like it, I'm definitely doing it!"

"It's useless to try to talk you out of it, right?"

Cloe nodded her head solemnly.

Cui Xukun could only sigh, "Fine, then. Let's go." He couldn't just rain on her parade so he decided to just get a beating from his sister. It wasn't gonna be anything new anyway. So, one more beating won't matter. Let's just make her happy.

Cui Xukun didn't know what he was getting himself into. Once they reached the mall, Cloe was like on a sugar roll. She made the twins try out a dozen of clothes and found each better than the previous one. How was it her fault that these adorable buns looked cute in everything? She wanted to just buy it all. Choosing one was difficult. For the first time, she realized Raelle's mentality. Why waste time choosing one? Let's just buy it all!

Wasn't it better to have it all? What could be better than one? Obviously, two? Or a dozen!

That sleeping shopaholic in her was roaring today as she came out to play in this field. And Cloe who always had a budget for everything actually continued to splurge like money was just water.

"You're gonna spoil our kids rotten in the future," Cui Xukun couldn't help but say.

"You're thinking too far ahead," said Cloe. "Who said I'll have kids with you?"

Cui Xukun clutched his chest, "Ah! That just broke my heart. How can you do this to my poor heart?"

"Kun, you're not a good actor," said Cloe.

Cui Xukun immediately straightened up and leaned against her, "I don't care. I'm already over the moon that you're calling me Kun today."

Cloe pushed him away, "Behave! We are in the mall."

"So?" he retorted. "I want to hug my girlfriend. Is it anyone's matter? No, it's my own business!"

Cloe held Xena who now wore a blue-colored princess dress with a beautiful tiara and said, "Let's take a picture. Okay?"

The twins were more than happy to go along with her and instantly clung to her. Cloe had to ask Cui Xukun to take a photo of who was sulking that he wasn't allowed in the picture.. In the end, he still took a couple of selfies to include himself in the picture to make it look like a perfect family of four. Oh, the happy picture!
