In the past few months, although Nian Nian didnât eat as much as Xiang Xiang, her body had always been healthy.
Su Qingsang told herself not to be anxious. It might just be the normal crying of a child.
Nian Nian had always been obedient and never let anyone worry about her. Now, she was crying so hard that her face was red.
The Auntie and nanny were both there. They went forward to look.
âDoes she feel unwell?â
âOr did she eat something bad?â
âThat canât be. They were both fed milk. What could have gone wrong?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCould it be that sheâs frightened? There were so many people today.â
âItâs possible. In my hometown, we usually donât carry our children out easily. Weâre just afraid of them being frightened.â
After listening to the Auntieâs words, Su Qingsang became more and more anxious.
âStop talking. Iâll do a check-up for her first.â
She gave Nian Nian a basic check-up. She was a doctor and had a medical kit at home.
She took Nian Nianâs temperature and found that she was fine. She also checked her respiratory tract and other things. She then changed her diaper and fed her milk, but the baby was still crying.
Su Qingsang was a mess when Huo Jinyao came over.
âWhatâs wrong? Why arenât you sleeping yet?â
When Nian Nian saw Huo Jinyao, she cried even harder. Upon seeing this, Huo Jinyao quickly reached out and carried the child over.
âWhatâs wrong, Nian Nian? Why are you crying?â
Nian Nian stopped crying the moment he held her in his arms. She stuck her little face close to her father and sniffed. Tilting her head, the exhausted little fellow fell asleep just like that.
âSo sheâs been making a fuss all day just to wait for you to come?â
Su Qingsang had always known that her daughter was clingy towards Huo Jinyao, but she didnât expect it to be to this extent.
Every night before going to bed, Huo Jinyao would come to visit his son and daughter, especially to hug his daughter.
Nian Nian stopped crying when she was in Huo Jinyaoâs arms. She looked at Huo Jinyao, as if she had been wronged.
Huo Jinyao held Nian Nian in his arms and gently patted her on the back as he softly coaxed her to sleep. Su Qingsang stood not that far away as she watched the scene.
Even though she had seen this scene many times over the past three months, it didnât stop Su Qingsang from feeling warm in her heart.
Huo Jinyao really was a good father.
In fact, he didnât need to coax her for too long. After the entire day, Nian Nian was already tired. After a while, she fell asleep in Huo Jinyaoâs arms.
Huo Jinyao waited until his daughter fell asleep before he gently placed her onto the small bed to sleep.
After instructing the nanny and auntie to be careful, Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsangâs hand and returned to their room.
âNot bad, Mr. Huo.â
Upon entering the room, Su Qingsang wasnât stingy with her praise. âYouâre becoming more and more like a nanny.â
âThank you for the compliment.â
Su Qingsang smiled and shook her head, then thought of another matter.
âSpeaking of which, your daughter is really clingy towards you.â
She could actually cry like that simply because he didnât go see his daughter before she went to bed like he did before.
âAre you envious?â
His face full of teasing, Huo Jinyao wrapped his arms around her waist.
âYes, Iâm envious.â
How could Su Qingsang not be envious?
âIâve been trying to coax my daughter for a long time, but I still canât get her to behave properly. I gave birth to this daughter, so of course Iâm envious.â
Su Qingsang was exaggerating things. In reality, Nian Nian had gotten used to being hugged and coaxed by her father before she went to sleep.
Huo Jinyao picked Su Qingsang up and made her look at him. âOkay, then Iâll start coaxing you now, okay?â
âOkay.â Su Qingsang nodded and raised her head to look at Huo Jinyao. âHow are you going to coax me?â
âHow about this ââ
As he spoke, he kissed Su Qingsangâs lips. Su Qingsang wrapped her arms around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.
However, when Huo Jinyaoâs hands were down, she grabbed his hand and retreating a little, she pulled away from his embrace.
âEnough, Iâm going to take a shower.â
She was covered in sweat after the exhausting day.
âItâs alright, letâs take a shower together.â He reached out to hug her again.
Su Qingsang glared at him and like a worm, she quickly left his embrace.
Entering the bathroom, Su Qingsang looked at herself in the mirror with mixed feelings.
In the past three months, because of the baby, she had gained a lot of weight before giving birth.
Although her figure had recovered slightly after giving birth, she looked even plumper than when she wasnât pregnant.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the shower. Su Qingsang pinched the small circle on her lower abdomen that hadnât been completely gone down with time. She looked a little dejected.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Huo Jinyao, who had just entered, saw Su Qingsang looking at herself in the mirror. The expression on her face definitely wasnât very pleasant.
âHuo Jinyao.â Su Qingsang wasnât usually this insecure. Theoretically, she should be able to recover very well since she gave birth naturally.
However, she was pregnant with twins after all, so it would take a little longer than the average person.
âLook at me, Iâve gained so much weight, havenât I?â
She didnât know if she could recover. If she continued to be like this, she would really look terrible.
âWhere did you gain weight?â
Huo Jinyao placed his hand on her abdomen. Indeed, there was a thin layer of flesh on her abdomen. âI think itâs just right. The texture is much better.â
âHuo Jinyao, Iâm serious.â
âIâm serious too.â
Huo Jinyaoâs hand moved upward rather pervertedly. He looked at Su Qingsangâs face in the mirror and kissed the back of her neck.
âEspecially the texture here. It simply feels too good.â
âYou ââ
âHoney.â He had been understanding since she had just given birth and it was hard for her to take care of the baby every day, but he had been abstinent for a long time.
âDonât even think about running away today.â
âIâm already like this.â Su Qingsang looked at the flesh on her stomach that hadnât completely disappeared. She was really depressed.
She could have recovered better, but in order to make sure that the baby had enough milk, she hadnât stopped eating.
She had been eating a lot, so it would be weird if she didnât get fat. She even despised herself for being like this.
Huo Jinyao gazed at her, turned her around, and looked at her with a serious expression.
âHoney, in my heart, youâre the most beautiful woman. Whatâs more ââ
Putting his hand on her belly, Huo Jinyao looked at her body, which was much more plump than before.
âYou became like this because of me. Do you think I would despise you?â
Su Qingsang didnât speak. No woman could truly not care about her looks. However, Huo Jinyaoâs words were undoubtedly very pleasing to her ears.
âHuo Jinyao, are you serious?â
âHoney, I will definitely try my best to prove it to you today.â
He stood up and carried her to the bathtub with ease. âYouâre more attractive to me than you were before you had children.â
..
It was Christmas again.
Today was a special day. It was Su Qingsangâs third birthday after her marriage to Huo Jinyao. It was also her second time actually celebrating her birthday.
After all, her birthday had been marked as the 26th. Last year, Huo Jinyao had planned to celebrate Su Qingsangâs birthday. However, Su Qingsang was pregnant and couldnât move around. He wanted to take her out for fun, but he couldnât.
There would be an opportunity this year. Huo Jinyao helped Su Qingsang apply for leave in advance. Then, he passed the two children to Liu Tongjia and Huo Mingguang to take care of.
It was getting colder during winter in Rong City, but Huo Jinyao was in high spirits. He brought Su Qingsang to the airport early in the morning.
âWhere are we going?â
On the way to the airport, Su Qingsang was still hesitant. âHow many days are you planning to take me? Think about it, with Nian Nian ââ
Before she became a mother, she really didnât think that she would have such a mentality.
However, ever since she became a mother, as long as she left for a little while, she would start to miss her two children.
Every day, she would hug her two babies for a long time before leaving for work. It was even more so when she came back at night.
Under such circumstances, Su Qingsang really couldnât bear to leave them.
âHoney.â Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly. âI know you canât bear to part with your two children, and neither can I. But, we need some private time.â
No matter how reluctant she was, he didnât want to aggrieve Su Qingsang.
His son was very important to him, and his daughter was also very important to him, but Su Qingsang was more important.
âBut ââ
âNo buts. If I can bear to let go of Nian Nian for a few days, you should also learn to let go of Nian Nian for a few days.â
Su Qingsangâs lips moved. In the end, she could only listen to Huo Jinyao.
When they arrived at the airport, they didnât go to the waiting room. Instead, they took the VIP channel and went straight to the boarding gate.
Huo Jinyao wasnât in a hurry to board the plane. Instead, he held Su Qingsangâs hand through the huge glass wall.
âActually, the present I wanted to give you is right here. Thatâs why I wanted to bring you here to take a look.â
âWhat?â
What present would be at the airport?
âTake a good look.â
Huo Jinyao pointed outside while Su Qingsang followed his hand and looked over. There, a plane was parked.
There were green cloud patterns on the white body of the plane. Following the long cloud patterns, she saw some very eye-catching words on it.
âQingsang Plane?â
âThis is for you.â
Huo Jinyao put his arm around her waist and pressed his chin against her neck. âDo you like it?â
â...âSu Qingsang blinked. Even though she had received a lot of gifts in the past few years, she never thought that she would receive a plane one day.
âYou, Huo Jinyao, arenât you being too dramatic?â
âItâs not too dramatic.â
Huo Jinyao didnât think that he was being too dramatic. âHoney, with this plane, you can fly wherever you want. Next time, you can fly wherever you want. For example, if you want to go to Lin City to visit your mother, just call Wenchang and ask him to make arrangements. You can go back to visit your mother anytime.â
This was too dramatic. Su Qingsang turned to look at him. She was completely in a state of shock.
âLetâs go.â
âWhere are we going?â
âDidnât I say weâre going to Lin City to visit your mother?â Huo Jinyao told her his plan. âWeâre going to visit your mother first and stay in Lin City for a few days. After that, we can fly to the Maldives or the Aegean Sea. Weâll go wherever you want to go. Oh right, I bought two small islands in the Pacific Ocean. Why donât I take you there to take a look?â
âStop,â Su Qingsang interrupted him. âHow many days are you planning to abduct me for?â
âIt doesnât matter if itâs a few days. Believe me, mom and dad will take good care of the two babies, so you really donât have to worry too much.â
Su Qingsang wasnât worried, she just couldnât bear to part with them. The two children hadnât been separated from her for a single day since they were born.
âBesides, donât you miss your mother?â
âYes.â
Li Qianxue often flew to Rong City to visit the two babies. She wasnât the only one who would come. Su Chenghui would also come.
However, coincidentally, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui seemed to have a tacit understanding. Other than when the children were just born and during that period during the first month, the time the two of them came barely ever coincided.
Every time Li Qianxue was about to leave, Su Chenghui would come.
Sometimes, when Su Chenghui was about to leave, Li Qianxue would come. The reason for this was, of course, because Li Qianxue didnât want to encounter Su Chenghui, so she would ask clearly every time.
After spending more time together, their relationship naturally became closer.
Speaking of which, the last time Li Qianxue came to Rong City was more than a month ago. Su Qingsang really missed her.
âAnd Shi Mengwan, you said you were going to visit her last time. Did you forget?â
âNo, I didnât forget.â
âThen letâs go. Go visit your mother and your grandfather. See Shi Mengwan and your former colleagues. Then, weâll find another place to fly to and have fun.â
Su Qingsang couldnât dissuade him. She also knew that in the past year, from her pregnancy to giving birth to now, she really hadnât had a good time to relax.
She could just treat it as a break for herself. Speaking of which, this was her first time taking a private plane.
It was indeed as she had seen on television. It was very comfortable. Not only was there a living room, but there was also a conference room, a study room, and two bedrooms on the plane.
Su Qingsang sat on the sofa and looked at the wings outside. There were also several words on the wings: Qingsang.
This was her plane. Huo Jinyao had given it to her. It was a wonderful feeling. She had never thought that she would own a plane one day.
âHuo Jinyao, thank you.â
âHoney, you never have to say thank you to me.â
Huo Jinyao held her hand and said in an extremely serious tone.
âIâm the one who has to thank you.â
He thanked her for appearing in his life and for bringing him a different life.
He thanked her for loving him and fulfilling his life.
âHuo Jinyao.â
The moment the plane soared into the sky, Su Qingsang hugged Huo Jinyaoâs waist.
âI love you.â
âHoney, I love you too.â
The Qingsang plane took the two of them to another city. It was also a testament to their love.
Su Qingsang believed that they would be well and would strive towards a better future.
...
[ Extra Chapter: Reincarnation ]
Three years later.
Huo Yanzhen climbed up the cabinet and rummaged through it. She couldnât find what she wanted. Pouting, she climbed down from the cabinet again.
In the end, her movements were too big. When she got down from the chair, she lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground.
A pair of small hands quickly caught her back and stabilized her.
Huo Yanzhen turned around. When she saw Huo Yanjing, she revealed a big smile and jumped down from the small chair.
âBrother.â
Huo Yanjing hugged his little sister, who was about the same height as him, and stabilized her.
âWhat are you looking for?â
When Huo Yanzhen heard this, she pouted again. âNothing left, not a single one left.â
âYouâre looking for this, right?â
Huo Yanjing stretched out his hand to reveal two milk candies in his small hands.
âWow, brother, how did you find it?â
âLittle fool.â Huo Yanjing unwrapped one of the milk candies and put it into his sisterâs mouth. âI saw it when Mom hid the candies.â
âBrother, youâre so smart. Why didnât I see it?â
âFoolish. Isnât it because you ran off to take a nap?â
âYouâre the foolish one,â Huo Yanzhen replied, but she wasnât angry. The candy was so sweet.
She unwrapped the other candy in Huo Yanjingâs hand and stuffed it into his mouth when Huo Yanjing wasnât on guard.
âDonât you want it?â He knew that his sister loved candy the most.
âOne for you, one for me.â
As Huo Yanzhen spoke, he looked left and right and finally made a shushing gesture toward Huo Yanjing.
âWe promised mom that we wouldnât eat candy. If we only eat one piece of candy a day now, mom probably wonât notice, right?â
Huo Yanzhen said this, but after the candy was finished, her eyes started to blink again.
âBrother, I still want to eat more. What should I do?â
âYou just said that you would only eat one piece of candy.â
âThen, then one more piece of candy? Just one more piece of candy?â
Huo Yanjing looked at his little sisterâs face and took out another piece of candy from his pocket helplessly.
âHere.â
âThank you, brother. Youâre the best.â
âAhem.â
The sudden cough startled Huo Yanzhen, and she almost dropped the candy in her hand.
She and Huo Yanjing turned around at the same time and realized that Huo Jinyao had arrived at some point in time.
âDaddy.â
âDaddy.â
The two little ones threw themselves into Huo Jinyaoâs arms.
He stretched out his hands, one on his left and the other on his right, and picked up the two children.
âTell daddy, what bad things were you two up to just now?â
âWe werenât doing anything bad.â
Huo Yanzhen shook her head quickly. âI was playing with my brother. I wasnât doing anything bad.â
âNothing bad?â
Huo Jinyao blinked as he looked at his daughter. She gradually grew up. She looked similar to him, but also a different from him.
âNothing.â
âThen what is this?â
Huo Jinyao looked at his daughterâs hand, which was still holding a piece of candy tightly. Her hand was too small. Even though she was holding it tightly, she couldnât hide it completely.
âCandy.â Huo Yanzhen lowered her head, but she quickly looked up at Huo Jinyao. âDad, I only ate one piece, really.â
Huo Yanzhen raised three fingers, as if to promise.
When she met Huo Jinyaoâs serious face, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
âDad, I promise that I wonât eat anymore, okay? Donât tell mom, okay?â
Before Huo Jinyao could say anything, Huo Yanjing interrupted, âDad, I found the candy and gave it to my sister. If you want to punish someone, just punish me. But, can you not tell Mom?â
The two little rascals blinked their eyes at Huo Jinyao.
He listened to their childish talk and hugged their little bodies tightly.
His eyes were a little warm. Happening again after more than twenty years, the scene was like déjà vu.
He buried his face into Huo Yanzhenâs neck and didnât say a word.
Huo Yanzhen was a little nervous. She looked at her brother and then at Huo Jinyao.
In the end, she spoke as if she didnât have any scruples anymore, âThen if you want to tell mom, can you ask mom not to punish me? I promise that I wonât eat candy next time, okay?â
Huo Jinyao shook his head and put the two little children down.
Huo Yanzhenâs face fell when he shook his head.
âDad, I told you that I gave the candy to my sister. If you want to punish someone, then punish me.â
Huo Yanjing was quite chivalrous.
Huo Jinyao glanced at him and reached out to rub the top of his hair.
âHow can that be? Donât worry. Mom wonât punish you.â
In this family, Su Qingsang was definitely the one with authority. She indeed didnât allow her children to eat too much candy, especially Huo Yanzhen.
That little baby from back then had now grown into a cute little girl that made peopleâs hearts melt.
She had tooth decay because she liked to eat candy. Ever since Su Qingsang found out, she didnât allow her to eat candy anymore.
However, Huo Yanzhen had a sweet tooth. Liu Tongjia, who had always indulged children, would secretly put a few pieces of candy in the house from time to time.
It looked like she had hidden them well, but in reality, they would always be found by the two children, especially Huo Yanjing. He always seemed to be able to find where the adults hid the candy.
âReally?â
Huo Yanzhen wasnât very sure. She blinked her dark grape-like eyes at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao was in a daze for a moment. At that moment, he seemed to see Huo Wushuangâs shadow.
But he knew that Huo Wushuang was Huo Wushuang, and Huo Yanzhen was Huo Yanzhen.
He wouldnât confuse the two of them, but at that moment, he could really feel that the gap which had never disappeared from the depths of his heart was quietly being filled up.
His youngest daughter, the one he loved the most, had healed the wound in his heart in this way of reincarnation.
She was his angel.
He hugged his daughter tightly and stood up. Huo Jinyao looked her in the eye and said, âBut Nian Nian, you have to promise me that you wonât eat candy again until your tooth decay gets better, okay?â
âOkay.â
âIf you promise me, Iâll ask your mother to allow you to eat one piece a day from now on. How about that?â
âReally?â Huo Yanzhen blinked her eyes in surprise. âThen, would Mom agree?â
âYes, really. Donât you trust Daddy?â
âI do. Youâre the best, Daddy.â
Huo Yanzhen kissed Huo Jinyaoâs face again. Huo Jinyao smiled. He held his daughter and his sonâs hands.
âTo thank Nian Nian for her trust in Daddy, Daddy will take you out to play today.â
âThatâs great.â Huo Yanzhen clapped her hands. âThen, big brother will go too.â
âOf course.â
âLetâs go.â Huo Jinyao led the two children outside. âBut we have to go pick up Mom first.â
âLetâs go, weâre going to pick up Mom.â
Huo Yanzhen and Huo Yanjing got into Huo Jinyaoâs car together.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital where Su Qingsang worked. Su Qingsang worked the night shift yesterday and only got off work this morning.
When she came out of the hospital, she saw three figures, one big and two small, standing at the entrance of the hospital waiting for her.
Su Qingsang smiled and quickened her pace as she walked towards the three people she loved the most.
âNian Nian, Xiang Xiang, did you two miss your Mother?â
âYes.â
âYes.â
âDid you rascals behave obediently when your mother was on duty last night?â
âYes.â
âYes.â
âReally?â
âUh...â
âMom, I ate a piece of candy secretly, but I promise that I only ate one piece. I really only ate one piece.â
âMom, I gave it to my sister. Donât blame my sister.â
âYou rascals were that disobedient? You guys actually ate candy secretly?â
Su Qingsang looked at the two little rascals with a straight face. âTo punish you ââ
âHuh?â
âHuh?â
âTo punish you two, you two will sleep on your own today.â
âHuh ââ
âHuh ââ
Accompanied by Su Qingsangâs and Huo Jinyaoâs laughter, two childish voices of protest rang out in the car, then drifted far, far away.
