After the full moon banquet, Dongfang Liuyun did not officially go to work. Instead, she was asked by Qi Lei to stay home and rest for a period of time.
Song Siting came over to help take care of her. Qi Lei even found a few experienced women to help with post-childbirth care. Furthermore, the two babies were very obedient. As long as they were full, they rarely cried. They were quite easy to take care of, so Dongfang Liuyun did not have to worry so much.
However, Qi Lei felt uncomfortable. Ever since the baby was born, his position in Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes had deteriorated day by day. Dongfang Liuyun only saw the baby, but he…
It made him wonder if he had a role in accompanying her to give birth to the baby. For example, right now…
“Qi Lei! I left my son’s milk bottle in the car. Hurry up and go get it. Hurry up, or else he’ll look for it when he wakes up!”
It was late at night. Qi Lei had just taken a shower and laid down on the bed when Dongfang Liuyun, who was sleeping beside him, suddenly kicked him.
Qi Lei had no choice but to get up. He turned his head to look out the window. It was raining outside, there was lightning and thunder. His son and daughter were sleeping in the crib beside their bed.
Naturally, there was a nursery for them. However, Song Siting had returned to Tanshan Villa that night. Dongfang Liuyun was worried, so she decided to take care of them personally.
“Aren’t they still asleep?”
Qi Lei looked at his son and daughter who were sleeping soundly in their crib. He subconsciously lowered his voice.
“My son sleeps very light. He wakes up very easily at night.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not have enough nutrition. Naturally, she could not cope with two children. Usually, the children could only drink some milk powder to replenish themselves.
“Go quickly. You’ll wake up soon. Go quickly!” Dongfang Liuyun urged.
Qi Lei hurriedly got up.
“The umbrella is in the hallway cabinet in the living room. Remember to take it. The rain outside is quite heavy.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not forget to remind him.
“Got it.”
Qi Lei left the room in a hurry.
Qi Lei’s actions were naturally very fast. In about five minutes, he took the milk bottle back. He even skillfully prepared the milk powder and placed it in the incubator to keep it warm.
After doing all this, when he returned to the bedroom, he saw Dongfang Liuyun holding his son Dongfang Ye and coaxing him. The little guy seemed to be hungry. When he woke up, he looked at Dongfang Liuyun with his eyes wide open. He did not cry or make a fuss. His gaze was actually similar to their father’s, Qi Lei had a languid feeling. Dongfang Liuyun did not know if he was seeing things. In the next moment, he closed his eyes again and grabbed Dongfang Liuyun’s sleeve with his little hand.
Dongfang Liuyun hugged him and patted him gently. Qi Lei, who was at the side, also brought over the bottle of milk he had prepared. When he saw that the little guy was looking at him with his bright eyes, he could not help but reach out and pinch his little face gently.
“His eyes are quite like yours.”
As Qi Lei said this, he gently pulled his son’s hand and teased him.
His son naturally did not care about them. He only cared about filling his stomach.
“I think he’s more like you. It’s easy to raise a son. After eating and drinking, he doesn’t cry much. His younger sister is a little mischievous. It took a lot of effort just now to coax her to sleep.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked down at his son in his arms as he spoke.
“There’s nothing wrong with a daughter being a little spoiled. Anyway, we all love her. Father also likes her a little more. In the future, he’ll raise her to be a little princess.”
“I don’t agree with that. Don’t have such thoughts. Men and women are the same. You have to raise your daughter the same way you raise your son.”
“Don’t tell me you want to raise your daughter to be a strong woman?”
Qi Lei frowned.
“Anyway, we have to let them have the ability to take care of themselves. It’s not good to be a little princess. I want her to be a daughter who has her own opinions and knowledge. Of course, it’s important for a son to be stronger so that he can protect her in the future.”
The couple had never discussed their position of having a child before. Now that the child was born, it was natural for them to talk about these things.
“The child is still young. We’ll talk about it when they’re a little older.”
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun. It seemed like she was going to be a strict mother. Judging by her character, she could only be a strict mother.
At this moment, he could not help but sigh for his son and daughter. The days ahead were still long. He hoped that the children would be able to adapt. However, he was looking forward to the so-called future…
After his son, Dongfang Ye, drank his fill, he fell asleep again.
The husband and wife, who had been busy for the whole day, finally laid down on the bed.
Just as Dongfang Liuyun lifted the blanket and fell asleep, the man beside her had already embraced her. Before she could react, a cold kiss landed accurately on her lips.
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment. She immediately reacted and happily responded.
It had been a long, long time since the couple had cohabited. It had been almost a year. It would be a lie to say that they did not want to.
However, Qi Lei was still able to control himself. When Dongfang Liuyun was panting and her pajamas slipped off her shoulders, he immediately stopped moving and hugged her tightly.
“Did the doctor say when it’s okay?”
Qi Lei’s slightly hoarse voice was heard by her ear, accompanied by his abstinence-based forbearance. His large hands were already clasped tightly around her fingers, and his body was like a huge heater, covering Dongfang Liuyun completely.
Dongfang Liuyun was also panting slightly and glanced at him. “Who would I ask the doctor about these things?”
Qi Lei glared at her and said helplessly, “Then can’t you ask the next time you go for a checkup?”
“If you want to ask, you can ask yourself.”
Dongfang Liuyun felt a burning heat on her face. She pushed him, but he hugged her even tighter and sucked in a breath of cold air. “Don’t move!”
“Ask next time? Hmm?” Qi Lei said seductively.
Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes at him.
Qi Lei felt annoyed. He thought about it and said, “Forget it if you don’t ask. I’ll ask someone else!”
As he said that, he reached for his phone on the bedside table. Before Dongfang Liuyun could react, Qi Lei had already made a call.
When the phone vibrated, Su Chen was still in his office processing documents.
“Hello? Qi Lei? It’s so late at night. Why are you calling me instead of hanging out with your wife? Are you asking me out for a drink?”
“Let’s drink another day. It’s so late at night and it’s raining. Do you have the leisure to do that? Are you still in the office?”
Qi Lei heard the sound of the pages turning, so he asked the same question.
“Do you think I can be as carefree as the two of you?”
Su Chen raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows as he replied. Then, he quickly signed his name on the document, “It’s not even 10 o’clock yet. I’m sure you didn’t rest that early. Why don’t you come out and have a few drinks? It’s my treat. It’s just the two of us. Our usual place, the old room at Spring River Night. I’ll wait for you.”
