“It’s a question without an answer.”
“…” An Xiaxia puffed out her cheeks. “You’re making fun of me!”
Sheng Yize took her hand in his. “Therefore, I’m going to need a whole lifetime to answer it. Will you stick around?”
Light flickered in his deep black eyes, reminding her of falling stars that were dazzling to the eye.
An Xiaxia bit her lip. “I… I’m going to need some time to think about it.”
Sheng Yize tightened his grip on her hands suddenly and narrowed his eyes. “You need to think about it?”
“Of course! It’s such a big deal! I can’t just say yes so lightly!”
“…” Sheng Yize found the little woman hopelessly unromantic.
He chuckled after pondering for a moment in silence.
So be it. However dumb she might be, he had chosen her and he wasn’t going to change his mind.
–
The Sheng family.
After they got back home, Sheng Yize went to cook lunch while An Xiaxia fed the babies.
The kids had gained some weight lately and were adorably plump.
Pepsi wobbled into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Sheng Yize’s leg.
“Papa…”
“Yes? What’s wrong?” Sheng Yize picked her up with one arm and went on stir-frying with the other hand.
“I’m going on a diet,” said Pepsi matter-of-factly. She then tried to stuff her milk bottle into Sheng Yize’s mouth. “Papa, milk.”
Sheng Yize was speechless. “You’re way too young for that.”
“Cola says fat girls don’t have boyfriends.” Pepsi’s eyes went teary. “I want Little Bai…”
… There we go, Little Bai again.
Sheng Yize fried so hard that he almost turned the frying pan upside down.
Despite how frustrated he felt, he still had to smile.
“Papa, drink it for me,” Pepsi blinked and said in a pitiful voice.
Sheng Yize took a look and saw that there was only a third of the milk left.
Alright, it wouldn’t do any harm for her to drink a little less. He gave in and said, “Don’t cry. I’ll finish it for you.”
And he would teach Cola the little brat a lesson as well.
Sheng Yize took the nipple of the feeding bottle in his mouth and drank his daughter’s milk.
An Xiaxia, who was coming in at that moment to fetch Pepsi, ran into him.
She was flabbergasted. “Sheng Yize! How can you steal Pepsi’s milk?!”
Sheng Yize was speechless.
“I’m just helping her out…”
“Aren’t you too old to drink that now?” An Xiaxia said in disdain. “I can make a separate bottle for you, you know?”
Sheng Yize didn’t know what he could say to redeem himself now.
Putting Pepsi down, he stuffed the milk bottle back into her hands. “Daddy can’t help you now. You’re on your own.”
Pepsi ran off on her short legs, sobbing all the way.
An Xiaxia only thought that her daughter was crying because of Sheng Yize. Jabbing a fair finger into Sheng Yize’s chest, she said, “Stop doing that! It’s not right!”
Sheng Yize couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re such a dummy!”
After that, he switched off the stove and pressed An Xiaxia down on the kitchen counter despite her protests, then kissed her…
–
In the living room.
Pepsi tilted her head. “What are Papa and Mummy doing?”
“Adult things!” said Cola haughtily.
“What are adult things?”
That successfully baffled Cola. His eyes darting around, he said, “It’s the thing boys do with girls!”
“I’m going to do it with Little Bai!” Pepsi held up her little fist.
Cola yawned. “You should lose some weight first.”
“Go away!”
The two kids bickered in the living room and made such a sweet picture.
In the kitchen, the two adults were still kissing…
— I was already thinking about spending my life with you when I first laid eyes on you.
That is my question. Would you like to answer it?
