Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 424 - 378: For the Sake of Fifty Million (3)
"I guess with Mom and Dad busy helping my eldest brother’s family with Bo Wen and Guo Tong’s wedding, they probably won’t have time to come here for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s birthday either."
Yin Shixiu said.
Su Chengji quickly added,
"You need to explain this clearly to the elders. I see they like them very much. If we don’t invite them to the birthday, they might be upset later..."
Yin Shixiu laughed,
"Alright, I’ll talk to Mom and Dad about it, everything will be arranged."
"Okay."
After dinner, it was already close to eight o’clock.
Su Xiaomeng wanted to keep Mom and Dad overnight, but seeing that they insisted on going back, she didn’t push it.
"Shixiu, Xiaomeng is over seven months pregnant now. I know you’re busy, but this is your only wife, and she’s carrying your child. You need to pay extra attention and keep a close eye."
"Don’t worry."
"Xiaomeng, you need to be even more careful yourself."
"Mom, I know, you’re so nagging!"
Bai Sixian raised her hand and gently tapped Su Xiaomeng’s forehead,
"How dare you call me nagging!"
"Alright, alright, we’re leaving now. Don’t see us off, it’s not convenient for you to be moving around with a big belly."
Just as Su Chengji finished speaking, they heard Huang Huang’s tender voice calling out,
"Grandpa!"
"Hey!"
Prince Huang ran out of the room with a small painting scroll in his hand, squeezed between Mom and Dad, and quickly handed it to his grandpa,
"Grandpa, you left something!"
Su Chengji looked at it and realized it was the painting he had been eyeing. After Bai Sixian scolded him, he actually put it back.
He squatted down and took the scroll.
Prince Huang whispered into his grandpa’s ear,
"Remember to think of me!"
Su Chengji’s heart felt as if it were wrapped in honey, tears of laughter shining in his eyes.
Bai Sixian didn’t have the heart to make Su Chengji put the painting back, so she let him keep it.
Su Chengji stood up, tearfully looking at Bai Sixian...
Bai Sixian knew her husband was very sentimental, so she gently squeezed his hand,
"Alright, alright, we can come to see them often, can’t we?"
"Wife, can I take my little grandson back home?"
"..."
As soon as Su Chengji said this, you could imagine the consequences.
After seeing off her parents, Su Xiaomeng stretched lazily, feeling a bit tired.
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arm around her shoulder,
"Tired?"
"A little."
"You go back to the room to rest first. I’ll go accompany the two little ones for their bedtime routine. Let Ah Su tidy up the rest."
"Thank you, hubby."
Su Xiaomeng said as she returned to her room.
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arms around the two siblings and took them to their room.
The so-called bedtime routine was to tire them out with some play, so they would use up all their energy.
Yin Shixiu leaned on the headboard of the small bed, watching the siblings bounce around on it.
"Daddy, this is for you, it’s a hairpin."
Shuangshuang took a little flower clip, leaned over Yin Shixiu, and clipped it onto his short hair.
She hopped away to search for other things after finishing.
Prince Huang was trying to climb up the bedpost.
After more than half an hour of play, the two little ones finally calmed down. Yin Shixiu wiped their bodies, changed them into pajamas, and took a fairy tale book to tell them a mermaid story.
After he finished, Yin Shixiu regretted picking such a story.
The little ones not only weren’t sleepy, but their eyes were also wide open, looking at him...
"What’s wrong?"
"Daddy, why, why didn’t the mermaid princess talk to the prince?"
Why didn’t she talk to the prince...
How was he supposed to know?! He wanted to ask too! Who made up this fairy tale!
"Because the mermaid princess... because she... is a fish, and fish can’t talk."
"Huh? Fish can’t talk... that’s so pitiful."
"Alright, go to sleep early."
"Daddy, did the prince marry the bad person?"
"Yes."
"Why would the prince marry the bad person..."
"Because..."
Yin Shixiu took a deep breath and really couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation. Just as he was at a loss—
"The prince, dummy!"
Prince Huang said those words with a serious face, then rolled his little eyes, leaned against Yin Shixiu, and closed his eyes to sleep.
"Dummy... the prince is a dummy..."
Before Shuangshuang fell asleep, she murmured,
"Don’t like the prince..."
After finally coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Yin Shixiu returned to the room.
Su Xiaomeng was leaning on the headboard, reading an English magazine.
"Weren’t you tired?"
"I was waiting for you."
Yin Shixiu leaned over and kissed her little lips,
"I’ll take a shower first."
Su Xiaomeng pointed to the foot of the bed,
"I got your clothes ready, go on."
Yin Shixiu smiled and went into the bathroom to shower. When he came out, Su Xiaomeng was yawning.
He climbed into bed, pulled her into his arms, and took the University of Bath campus magazine from her hands,
"Eric sure never misses sending these to you, huh?"
"Yes."
Yin Shixiu flipped through the magazine, which featured some academic papers and progress on various university research projects.
"Amazing you can read this without getting sleepy."
"I used to not understand, so of course, I was terribly sleepy. Now I can understand seventy to eighty percent, and it’s quite interesting."
Su Xiaomeng said as she turned to a page in the middle,
"Look, there’s a study by foreign students on our country’s dialects. The explanation about Beijing dialect made me laugh so hard."
Yin Shixiu glanced over it and smiled.
Su Xiaomeng slightly turned her body and reached out to hug his waist.
"Hubby, you’ve been so good to my parents... I really don’t know what to say..."
"Being good to your parents is like being good to my own parents, isn’t it?"
"What if one day we have a falling out, wouldn’t you be at a huge loss?"
Yin Shixiu closed the magazine and put it on the nightstand, looked down at her,
"Are you sure it would be my loss? And not yours?"
"..."
"Just be good to me."
"I am very good to you. Where am I not good to you? Tell me, and I’ll change immediately."
Even if I wasn’t planning on changing, considering the fifty million, I have to!
"You’re not good here..."
Yin Shixiu’s voice became dark, husky...
Su Xiaomeng shivered as goosebumps spread across her back.
She turned off the lights with the remote, leaving only a dim bedside lamp.
Yin Shixiu took her hand...
Xiaomeng quickly pulled her hand back, yawning again,
"Ah, I’m really sleepy."
"Honey..."
"Hang in there, just a little over two months to go."
"If I wait any longer, I’ll explode."
"Aren’t you the one who claims to have excellent self-control!"
"Others believe it, do you?"
"..."
Yin Shixiu turned his head, his lips brushing Su Xiaomeng’s ear,
"Hand, or mouth, you pick one..."
"..."
"Come on, babe..."
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t stand him whispering in her ear, the warmth causing goosebumps all over her body!
"Alright, alright, just this once, dare to ask for more..."
Considering the fifty million...
"Just once, I’ll keep track of everything else, once Little Treasure is born, we’ll settle it all..."
"..."
