Jiao Chen nodded quietly.
“Let’s go to…” Su Yue peered at Jiao Chen. “My brother’s apartment. There are too many people at home.”
She bowed her head to hide her blushing face.
Jiao Chen didn’t say a word.
Both of them continued walking and neither of them spoke. Su Yue stole a glance at Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen was looking ahead, looking a little pensive. Su Xiaojiao was on his back and she was quiet too.
When they got home, Su Xiaojiao became energetic once more.
Jiao Chen placed her down and she began to whine that she wanted to watch cartoons.
Su Yue sat down beside her while Jiao Chen went to take a shower.
The little girl was wide awake, but Su Yue was about to doze off.
“Go take a shower with Xiaojiao. Then rest early.”
Jiao Chen came out of the bathroom as he rubbed his hair with a towel.
He walked towards the guest room.
Su Yue pressed her lips and muttered after some time.
“Daddy and Mommy sleep together.”
Jiao Chen was about to push the door open when Su Xiaojiao shouted.
His footsteps and hands stopped at the same time, and then he glanced at Su Xiaojiao.
Su Yue’s eyes darted to her as well.
Su Xiaojiao continued, “Sleep together. Then get married.”
Sister Wenxin said that Mommy and Daddy will only get married if they sleep together. So they have to sleep together.
She wanted Mommy to be a beautiful bride, too.
There was a long pause…
Su Yue’s face turned crimson, and she stared at Su Xiaojiao in exasperation.
Xiaojiao’s remark stunned Jiao Chen as well. He smiled and said, “It’s too cramped for you.”
“Daddy and Mommy sleep together!” Su Xiaojiao flapped her arms as she threw a tantrum.
Other children’s daddy and mommy slept together. But why didn’t her mommy and daddy sleep together?
“Okay, alright.” Su Yue placed her hands on Xiaojiao’s shoulders to calm her down. She glanced at Jiao Chen. “Jiaojiao…”
She was also perplexed. It had been four years, yet Jiao Chen initiated no kind of intimacy with her.
If he didn’t take the initiative, how could she ask him?
Jiao Chen was looking slightly pale earlier on, but he was blushing right now. “You… get her to shower.”
Su Yue’s heart tightened, and she became nervous for no reason. She inhaled deeply before replying, “Okay.”
After Xiaojiao had showered, she put her into bed.
Jiao Chen was reading a book in the living room. Su Yue had helped Xiaojiao to change into her pajamas, after which she opened the door to call Jiao Chen. “Jiaojiao, can you be with her? I’m going to take a shower.”
It sounded perfectly normal but she felt that it sounded ambiguously intimate.
Her cheeks were burning once more.
Su Yue didn’t wait for Jiao Chen to respond, and so she fled to the bathroom.
Her pajamas were all relatively conservative. She chose one which was slightly more revealing.
It was a red sleeveless top with a pair of shorts.
It was revealing… because it was a sleeveless one. Even the collar was V-shaped.
After a shower, Su Yue stood before the basin as she dried her hair with a hairdryer. Her heart was beating restlessly.
She had no idea why she was so nervous.
But she knew that it wasn’t because of anticipation.
Neither was she rejecting him.
She wasn’t opposed to the idea of being with Jiao Chen… although she wasn’t deeply in love with him.
But she had made up her mind to be with him for the rest of her life.
So, there were certain things that she would have to experience.
