“Of course. She’s a rare beauty in the world.”
“In fact, you’re super beautiful, too, my Yan.” Huo Mian reached out and pinched Lu Yan’s small cheeks lovingly.
No one had done this to Lu Yan.
If it was someone else, the person would have gotten their hands dislocated before touching her face.
Lu Yan was so alert to the things around her that she’d never entered deep sleep.
She could even clearly hear a needle drop to the floor.
“Sis, okay. Don’t mess around. Go to sleep now. I’m so sleepy…”
“Didn’t you sleep on the plane?”
“Yeah. But I have jet leg…”
“Fine…”
The sisters chatted casually. Lu Yan liked this kind of casual talk since it made her feel like an ordinary girl, a younger sister, and an auntie of the children, instead of the demon woman on the battleground, the king of the mercenary legion, the No.1 wanted criminal, or a woman who had been hunted down by groups of people due to her special identity.
Seeing Lu Yan was asleep, Huo Mian got up quietly because she was worried about Qin Chu’s sleeping problem.
Sure enough, she saw Qin Chu was still working in the study although it was already 12 AM.
“Honey.”
“You’re still up?” Qin Chu looked at his wife gently.
“Yan’s asleep. I’m bored, so I came to see you.”
“You must go back to bed.”
“Honey, I got the bed ready for you in the guest room…”
“I know.”
“Then go to bed now.”
“I need to finish this first. I’ll go in a moment. Don’t worry.”
“No. I want you to put down work right now and go to bed.”
Qin Chu: “…”
Seeing his wife’s determined expression, Qin Chu gave in.
Turning off the laptop, he walked over and held Huo Mian, planting a kiss on her forehead.
Then they walked into a guest room on the second floor.
“Did you regret your decision and come to sleep with me after Lu Yan fell asleep?” Qin Chu teased her.
“Humph! Am I so changeable? I promised Yan and won’t go back on my words. It’s not right… I was just worried about you.”
“I’m not a child. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Qin Chu entered the guest bedroom and found Huo Mian had made special arrangements in it.
The lights were dimmed, and a lavender scent candle was burning on the desk.
On the bedside table, the blue-tooth speaker was playing some light music.
“Honey…” Qin Chu understood his wife’s intention.
“Isn’t it romantic?” Huo Mian chuckled in Qin Chu’s arms.
“Yeah. If you were not pregnant, I think we should do something in this environment,” Mr. Qin said bluntly, bringing a blush to Huo Mian’s face.
She was now his wife and a mother of two, but still, she remained as shy as a girl in the bedroom.
Her shyness wasn’t an act; it was due to her bashful personality.
“Don’t say it. Your son will hear it…” Huo Mian pointed at her belly.
“What are you thinking about? I meant we should dance the waltz or drink some red wine.”
“Ha! You are teasing me…” Huo Mian realized Mr. Qin was playing with her.
“Be a good girl and go to bed now. You’re pregnant and can’t stay up so late…” Qin Chu coaxed his wife.
“Honey, I’ll work tomorrow, and Yan might be bored staying at home. Can you ask Yang to show her around the city?”
“No kidding. You want Yang to keep Lu Yan company?” Qin Chu thought Little Yang’s personality would cause him to get his bones broken by Lu Yan within a day.
“Um… What do we do then? We can’t let her wander around by herself, right?”
“I think Su Yu can do it,” Qin Chu said.
