The whole family got up very early. After a night’s adjusting, Lady Wang looked much better. Early in the morning, she already led Lady Song and others to do some cleaning job and cooking breakfast. After washing their faces and putting on their clothes, the two little buns habitually went to knock on Ling Jingxuan’s door. But as they were about to knock, Yan Xiaoming stopped them. Anyhow, a nearly ten years old boy kind of knew a bit about that thing, for that little face slightly blushed. Finally it was Zeng Shaoqing and Chu Yunhan who ‘rescued’ him, they coaxed and fooled the two stubborn little brothers to let them go away.
October was actually already in early winter, but it was not too cold, today it was sunny and the warm sun rising from the east was shining on the earth, and the family started their habitual morning exercise. No one knew if it was because of Zeng Shaoqing, wherever the two little buns went, they’d bring Dahei and Xiaohei. As long as Zeng Shaoqing opened his mouth, without the two little buns’ order, they’d instantly showed their teeth at him. He only felt his stomach ached, his heart ached and his liver also ached, so aggrieved.
“The sun is high up enough to burn the buttocks, why father and daddy still haven’t gotten up? Uncle Chu, is it possible they are sick?”
After breakfast, looking at the rising sun outside, Ling Wu who rarely didn’t have to read books but rested next to Chu Yunhan’s side now pouted, with undisguised worries on that little face. Usually at this time, daddy and father had already been up. Though Uncle Chu and others told him that maybe because daddy was too tired yesterday and needed some more sleep, he had slept really too long.
“Don’t worry. Your daddy is making a little brother for you.”
Before Chu Yunhan could say something, Zeng Shaoqing cut in and teased him, totally didn’t take the two little buns as kids. Ling Wen and Ling Wu were both confused. Only by sleeping, daddy can make us a little brother? But daddy sleeps every day. But he has never made us one single little brother?
“Watch what you say before the kids!”
Throwing him a hard stare, Chu Yunhan pulled the two brothers to his side and explained gently, “Didn’t I tell you before? They are quite exhausted and need some rest. Think about it. When you play late into the night, you would also get up quite late, right? Yesterday so many things happened, of course your father and daddy would sleep pretty late, plus they were so busy making jam in the last over twenty days. Before they had time to rest, they got to prepare for the wedding. So they would get up quite late. So, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, don’t disturb them and let them have some good rest, OK?”
“OK.”
Hearing those words, the two still obediently nodded after a bit struggling in the heart. You shouldn’t blame them for being too clinging to their daddy. It was just they had already been used to seeing them when they opened their eyes every day. And now suddenly they couldn’t, they’d feel unadapted.
In the new wedding room, the new couple who made the two little buns worried couldn’t help having another round after some little talk, and then Yan Shengrui finally carried him to the shower room with satisfaction.
“Tired? Wanna sleep a little longer?”
After putting on some clean underclothes for him, Yan Shengrui touched his face and asked with a worried face. When he got turned on, he would never get enough. Now after quieting down, he then noticed his wife’s tiredness under those eyes, feeling sorry for him and cursing himself in the heart, and warned himself that he shouldn’t be so indulgent in the future. But as for whether he could really stick to it, only heaven knows!
“No, Yunhan and his son are leaving tomorrow at the latest, and I still want to talk to him before that.”
Shaking his head, Ling Jingxuan went for the clothes on the bed, seeing that, Yan Shengrui hurriedly snatched them from him and carefully put them on for him. Now as the crown princess, Ling Jingxuan still had no such silk luxurious gowns. Those cotton clothes may look low in other’s eyes, to him, but they were quite comfortable.
When the two of them opened the door, it was already nearly ten. Ling Jingxuan, who still wore the gold corona tying up his hair, again made a high ponytail, the light grey cotton cloth couldn’t hide his noble temperament like it had already been branded in his soul. As those two appeared in Chu Yunhan’s room, they instantly became the focus.
“Daddy, father…”
Seeing them, Ling Wen and Ling Wu who had been so worried about them the whole morning rushed over, the new couple also cooperatively bent down to hold them up, “Xiaowen, didn’t you practice calligraphy this morning?”
Usually at this time, even not reading, Ling Wen was supposed to be practicing calligraphy in that pavilion, with Ling Jinghan sitting beside and sometimes correcting him or what, so did the few pageboys.
“No, brother Yan said he and Uncle Chu are leaving soon, so we’d like to spend more time with them.”
When saying this, Ling Wen inevitably looked a bit down, while Ling Wu on the other side also pouted his little mouth, “Father, do they really have to go?”
He didn’t want them to leave, even though they had made a deal with Yan Xiaoming last night, he still wanted them to stay.
Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui exchanged an eye contact, held one each in their arms and went over to Chu Yunhan and others, while the latter also nodded back at them, kind of saying hello.
“Sometimes, parting is for a longer time being together. Xiaowen, Xiaowu, they have their own home. Having been out for so long, their family should be worried. Think about it. You also don’t want so many people worried only because you don’t want them to leave, right? After handling everything at home, they can come back and stay with us for some time, or we can go to look for them.”
After thinking about it, Ling Jingxuan decided to persuade them in the simplest and most straightforward way.
“Really?”
The two buns obviously held a skeptical attitude, so far they still couldn’t forget about the sentiment Brother Yan showed last night, if they really could see each other soon, why would he be so sad?
“Hehe…Of course. When has daddy ever lied to you?”
