"No." Xiao Xiao lowered her head and peeled broccoli. Just at this moment, the oven made a ding sound and stopped. Xiao Xiao walked over, put on a pair of heat-insulating gloves, took the biscuits out of the oven, and put a new plate back in. She poured the baked biscuits into a glass bowl to cool.
Ji Chensi went into the kitchen to get some water. He opened the refrigerator with ease and took out a can of soda water from a glass bottle that he often drank. When he left, he also took a cookie and ate it. He exclaimed, "Well, the cookies you make are getting better and better."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Really?"
"Well, when I go back later, please pack two cans for me to take back."
"Okay, let's bring some for Grandpa Ji Ling and the others, too?"
"Well, take it. I'll take it away later."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao turned around to pick up the glass container on the cabinet, her face looking very gentle and peaceful.
Su Yi felt something was wrong, so he came over and said jokingly, "Hey! Xiao, why are you suddenly so nice to him?"
"No." Xiao Xiao denied it.
Su Yi smiled and said, “You lied, bought the soda he often drinks, and prepared a container for cookies, and you said it was not good for him?”
Xiao Xiao paused and said softly, "He is so good to Ji Ling, so in return, I should also be good to him."
"He treats Ji Ling well because Ji Ling is his son, and he should do so. But you, being nice to him seems more..." Su Yi didn't finish her words. She blinked and made Xiao Xiao's face red.
"Keep your voice down!" Xiao Xiao pulled Su Yi's sleeve, "You're afraid that others won't hear you."
"Does this other person refer to Ji Chensi?"
"..." Xiao Xiao really didn't want to continue talking to the smooth-talking Su Yi. It was all just teasing remarks, which was too embarrassing.
Su Yi had dinner with them. During the dinner, either Xiao Xiao or Ji Chensi showed concern for Ji Ling. They would pour him some water or peel a crab shell for him. During the meal, the two of them were chatting with each other about Ji Ling, talking about his study and daily life. They seemed relaxed and harmonious.
Su Yi felt that he had been fed a lot of dog food by these three people who were not from the same family but looked like one.
When she went back, Su Yi heard Ji Ling say, "Mommy, Daddy and his family just promised me that they would sleep here tonight."
The child looked happy and cheerful, but Xiao Xiao's face was full of worries. "Ji Ling, how can you pester your dad like this? He has to go to work tomorrow and will be very busy and tired. If you are like this, your dad will be exhausted, do you know that?"
She tried to persuade the child to let Ji Chensi go back.
But Ji Ling didn't think so. He clung to Ji Chensi's neck with both hands, not letting him go. "Mommy, I promise you, I will sleep strangely at night and will never make noises. I just want to sleep with Daddy for one night. Is that not okay?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Ji Chensi. It was true that they needed more contact and intimacy, but her relationship with Ji Chensi was very awkward. They had never even been in love before. They just had one-night stand and then Ji Ling was born...
"I have already promised him." Ji Chensi said lightly, holding his son.
In this case, Xiao Xiao said nothing more, and just patted her son's head, "Okay then, you will sleep in the guest room with Daddy today, but you must be good and don't make a fuss."
"No! Dad just promised me that the three of us will sleep in the same room tonight."
Xiao Xiao: “…”
Ji Chensi had no expression. He glanced at Su Yi and said to Xiao Xiao, "You go and see her off. I'll take my son to take a bath. Don't clean up the dishes in the kitchen. Let the housekeeper come and clean them up tomorrow."
Xiao Xiao was so embarrassed that her jaw almost dropped.
Ji Chensi had already carried his cheering son into the bathroom to take a bath.
After coming to her senses, Xiao Xiao looked at Su Yi helplessly, "Let's go, Xiao Yi, I'll take you to the parking lot."
Su Yi looked at her and smiled, then said intriguingly, "It seems like tonight is very dangerous."
Xiao Xiao's expression became more and more embarrassed. "Hey, this kid, I really don't know what to say."
"I'm talking about you and Ji Chensi."
Xiao Xiao stopped talking, pursed her lips, and looked a little depressed.
No matter how dangerous it is, there will be no chance for them to have any problems, because Ji Chensi already has Su Huijin... Then, she and he will be a family, and they can visit Ji Ling openly together...
Su Yi also understood what Xiao Xiao was thinking, and didn't want to affect her mood, so he didn't say anything.
But in her heart, she was a little worried about Xiao Xiao. Ji Chensi was so good to Ji Ling. Not only did he give Ji Ling the best life, he also gave Xiao Xiao an extremely high-end apartment to live in. Any woman would be touched by a man who was good to her child.
Ji Chensi is good to children, but unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend.
*
After Su Yi left, Xiao Xiao returned to the apartment, closed the door, and prepared herself mentally in the entrance hall before she mustered up the courage to return to the bedroom.
Ji Chensi and Ji Ling had already taken a bath and were lying on the bed playing. The intimacy between parents and children made Xiao Xiao feel warm just watching them.
But in the end, she stepped forward and said, "The bed is too small, not enough for me to sleep in. I'd better sleep in the guest room."
She took her pajamas and wanted to leave. Ji Chensi had no objection, but Ji Ling refused. She started crying loudly and even threw away her toys. She insisted on being held by her mother.
Xiao Xiao hugged Ji Ling with a gentle expression, "Good boy... baby, don't cry, Mommy is just going to sleep in the next room, why are you crying like this?"
Ji Ling's face was wrinkled, and he cried with grievance, "I just want my dad and mom to sleep with me... All the kids in the kindergarten have their parents to sleep with them, but I don't. Ji Ling is so pitiful..."
Xiao Xiao felt distressed when she saw the child crying so sadly. She touched his head, not knowing what to say.
Having grown up without fatherly love for five years, she knew that they all owed him.
Ji Ling has been mature since he was young. Before he had no father, he never cried except asking a few questions occasionally. Now that he has a father, he has become spoiled. Maybe he has always longed to have a father in his heart...
"Mommy, just stay here and sleep with me and Daddy." Ji Ling sniffed, his eyes red, looking particularly adorable.
Xiao Xiao sighed in her heart, "Mommy wants to sleep with you, but there is only one bed here, which is not enough."
“No, no! Mommy, don’t leave. Mommy will stay here and sleep with me and Daddy…” Ji Ling ignored her and got angry.
Xiao Xiao was helpless and turned to look at Ji Chensi.
Ji Chensi's usually calm face also showed guilt, and he said to Xiao Xiao: "You can sleep here."
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
Ji Ling has already shouted: "Long live Daddy!"
In this case, Xiao Xiao could no longer postpone it, and could only say with a headache: "But, there is only one bed here."
"Enough sleep." Ji Chensi raised his eyes to look at her, his expression calm.
Xiao Xiao: “…”
He thought it was enough, but she didn't think it was enough. How could the two of them sleep together? This was too absurd! Besides, Ji Chensi had a girlfriend. If his girlfriend knew about it, she would be skinned alive by her...
Xiao Xiao took her clothes and went to take a shower. She deliberately took nearly an hour to come out, hoping that if the child fell asleep, she could sneak to the guest room. However, she didn't expect that when she came out, the father and son were still playing. Xiao Xiao immediately said to Ji Ling with a cold face, holding her waist, and a stern mother's look: "Ji Ling! What time is it now! You should go to bed!"
Ji Ling glanced at her and said cheerfully, "Mommy, Daddy just said that I was born from the two of you sleeping together."
Xiao Xiao: “…”
She looked at Ji Chensi, who looked nonchalant, with a resentful look on her face. She felt pent up in her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you telling him this?"
Ji Chensi said calmly: "If he asks me how he came here, should I answer that he jumped out of a stone?"
Xiao Xiao: “…”
Of course this is not okay, but telling the child directly that it was caused by sleeping is too scary!
"Okay, okay, Mommy, please come to bed and sleep with me and Daddy." Ji Ling urged her who was motionless.
Xiao Xiao looked resistive.
Ji Ling said: "Mommy, why is your face red?"
These words caught Ji Chensi's attention. He glanced at her with his charming peach blossom eyes, and then smiled lightly, seeming very happy.
Xiao Xiao's brain suddenly felt like it was lacking oxygen.
The three of them were lying on a bed, with the child in the middle. Xiao Xiao was so stiff that she didn't dare to move. Ji Ling turned over, squeezed into her arms, and started talking to her, "Mommy, Daddy said that you guys slept with me and I was born. Is that true?"
"…" This child, why does he always ask shameful questions? Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "Children should not ask such questions."
"Why can't we kiss?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I asked you."
"Oh." Ji Ling nodded as if he suddenly understood something. "Then did you guys always sleep together before?"
Ji Ling, this kid, hahahaha…
