The next morning,
Han Ye had already showered and dressed up for the day. He was going to go with his usual buttoned-up shirt and slacks, but when he thought that it was sort of a family outing, he decided to wear something less formal. And so, he ended up in a black Polo t-shirt and a simple pair of dark blue jeans that had been in the back of his closet for a while.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lei was still dreaming about eating an entire apple pie by herself, and she continued licking her lips while mumbling something inaudible in her sleep.
"Ah, why am I in love with this drooling woman?" Han Ye mumbled to himself as he watched her sleep. With a gentle smile on his face, he then slowly sat down while putting a hand on his back. "You really can't judge a woman by her age..." he mumbled as he gently rubbed his sore back before leaning over to kiss her on the forehead.
Last night, when he was thinking of stopping for the night since she was pregnant with twins and that it would not be good for the babies, she tempted him over and over again, refusing to let him rest at all. She was so energetic last night that Han Ye nearly died from trying to impress her.
It was a good thing that she wasn't much of a loud m.o.a.ner, or Han Ye would be unable to see Ziyan in the face again. He heard Lu Ziyan coming home late last night, and based on the noise, he accurately guessed that the man brought An Xin back as well.
Han Ye looked at the sleeping n.a.k.e.d woman, who was now clutching his hand while sleeping. "Ah, you're too damn adorable..." he said with a wide smile. However, he still had to wake her up. He planned to take her and the rest out for a proper brunch, to celebrate him coming out of celibacy as well as their progress in their relationsh.i.p.s.
Han Ye knew what Lu Ziyan and An Xin were up to yesterday since the man told him himself. Based on the fact that they came back together, it meant that An Xin did not get angry over Lu Ziyan's action of taking her revenge for her.
And Tian Le's relationship was going well, as far as he knew. As for Han Ye and Xiao Zhihao's relationship, there was a little improvement, or at least, Han Ye hoped that after yesterday, Xiao Zhihao would be more accepting of him. Besides, it would be good for Xiao Zhihao and his mother to talk a bit today as well.
"Hey, Xiao Lei..." Han Ye called out softly as he gently caressed her face with the back of his hand. "Wake up now..."
"No..." Xiao Lei mumbled in her sleep. "Cake... Don't go."
Han Ye's lips twitched. "She's dreaming about cake even after all we did yesterday. This woman!" Han Ye complained to himself. He then put both hands on her cheeks and pinched it hard. "Wake up!"
"Ehn!" Xiao Lei m.o.a.ned as her hands moved up to grab his wrists. She then opened her eyes with displeasure. "Coward Ye! What do you think you're doing?!"
Han Ye smirked as he slowly released his hands. He then rubbed her cheeks to soothe the pain he caused her earlier, but he had so much fun annoying her that he ended up squishing her cheeks together, much to her annoyance.
"This mfh iz..." Xiao Lei said incoherently, what with her cheeks being squished around by the man. She pulled her legs up and wrapped them around him, before pulling him down onto the bed and climbing on top of him. "Have you forgotten your punishment last night?"
Han Ye looked up at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. "That was a punishment?"
"For trying to stop at one round... I'm pregnant, not weak!" Xiao Lei hissed. She then grinned evilly as she looked down at him. "Now you have to kiss me before I brush my teeth!" She then leaned down and kissed him on the lips. She only meant to tease him by giving him a simple close-mouthed kiss, but Han Ye took her challenge, and when she tried to let him go, he placed a hand behind her head and kissed her, using his tongue to prompt her to open up.
"N-no..." Xiao Lei gritted through her teeth. Using all her energy, she put a distance between them and said, "You're gross!"
"I'm just playing along," Han Ye said innocently. He then placed both his hands behind his head and asked, "Want to attack me more?"
As he spoke, his eyes lingered at her lips. They were still a little swollen from last night, and when he saw the marks he left on her body, especially those around her b.r.e.a.s.ts, he could not help but feel proud of himself and his "little brother" for being to last as long as her.
Xiao Lei stuck her tongue out at Han Ye before sighing and resting her head on his chest. "I'm still so tired... Why didn't you let me sleep more?"
"It's half past 10. If you continue to sleep, you'd have trouble sleeping tonight," Han Ye pointed out. They weren't that young anymore to have their sleep schedules constantly messed up. That was also the reason why Han Ye woke up early on weekends, even if he did not have to.
"You're no fun..." Xiao Lei mumbled as she reached up to scribble on his chest using a finger.
"I'm taking everyone else out for brunch. If you don't want..."
"Brunch?!" Xiao Lei sat up so abruptly that Han Ye felt the wind being push out of his lungs.
"Oof!" he gasped and looked at her. "Gentle... I'm a fragile man."
"Not so fragile yesterday..." Xiao Lei smirked as she thought about what they did yesterday. She then gently patted his thigh and asked, "How are you feeling? You were complaining after the last round, you basically fell asleep right after."
"I didn't realize what a crazy woman you are... I heard that pregnant women tend to be more amorous..." He placed his hands on her n.a.k.e.d waists and nodded. "I guess that's true."
He liked the feeling of her skin on his; the close contact and bond made him feel warm inside.
"Just to let you know..." Xiao Lei patted his cheeks and said, "That's the toned-down version of my usual level of energy. You know, carrying two lives in me and working during day time took quite a bit of toll on my energy level."
She then kissed him on the forehead before getting up and going to the bathroom to freshen up a little. She did not hesitate to walk seductively in front of him, which caused Han Ye to subconsciously growl a little.
Han Ye sat up and looked in the direction of the bathroom with his mouth slightly open. "That's... the toned-down version? Oh god... I'm dead..."
He then looked at his crotch and said in a somewhat apologetic manner, "Looks like you need to work harder in the future... Don't worry. I will buy more nourishing food to help you out."
