Su Jianâan was already very sleepy, and her eyelids were gradually out of control. She slowly closed them.
At the last moment before she fell asleep, she saw Lu Boyan holding Xiangyi in his arms and pampering her patiently.
Xiangyi and her father had a good time. When she grinned, the dimples on her cheeks would appear. Lu Boyan also had a faint smile on his face. The father and daughter looked particularly similar.
Su Jianâan smiled and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
She seemed to have no more pursuits in her life.
She already had a husband she loved and a pair of lovely children.
She already had all the best gifts in the world.
She only had two wishes for the rest of her life.
One was Xu Youning could come back.
The other one was that Kang Ruicheng would be punished by the law.
The first thing would be achieved by Mu Sijue.
And Lu Boyan would try his best to make the second thing happen.
The only thing Su Jianâan needed to do was to take good care of herself and her two children.
When Su Jianâan was about to fall asleep, Lu Boyan and Xiangyiâs laughter faintly came to her ears.
Even if she didnât open her eyes, she could imagine how happy her husband and her daughter were when they laughed.
That was enough for her.
Thinking of this, Su Jianâan completely fell asleep.
Lu Boyan could not sleep, so he sat on the sofa with Xiangyi in his arms.
He didnât know why Xiangyi was so energetic. She kept looking at him with her big black eyes and babbled something. Lu Boyan teased her and she laughed, just like a little angel.
Lu Boyan looked at his daughter, and his heart seemed to be filled with happiness.
If it werenât for the fact that he had too many things to deal with, he could always hold his little girl in his arms and watch her grow up little by little.
âWahâ¦â
Xiangyi was babbling, and her pronunciation was unclear, but this time, it sounded like she was calling âdadâ.
Lu Boyan was stunned, and the smile on his face brightened. He rubbed his forehead against Xiangyiâs and said, âGood girl, call me Dad again.â
Xiangyi blinked her big black eyes and looked at Lu Boyan. âWahâ¦â
Lu Boyan thought that the little girlâs pronunciation was just not standard enough. He kissed her on the cheek and said, âGood girl.â
âHm!â
Xiangyi moved in Lu Boyanâs arms from time to time. It was unknown how long she had been active before she gradually felt sleepy. She leaned against Lu Boyan and fell asleep.
âXiangyi?â
Lu Boyan tried to touch the little girlâs cheek, but she did not respond. She just opened her mouth and breathed.
It seemed that she was really asleep.
Lu Boyan held the little girl in his arms, put her on the bed, and tucked her in. Then, he lay down beside her, but he was not sleepy. He turned to look at her sleeping face.
This girl was his and Su Jianâanâs daughter, their only daughter.
This little girlâs growth was worth him doing everything he could to protect.
Lu Boyan protected the little girl and slowly closed his eyes.
In the evening, when Su Jianâan was sleeping soundly, she vaguely felt something. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Boyan feeding milk to Xiyu.
Xiyu and Xiangyi were still young, so it was normal for them to wake up in the middle of the night to have milk.
Su Jianâan was surprised that she wasnât aware that her kids were awake. Instead, Lu Boyan got up to take care of them.
Xiyu had already finished the milk, but he still held the milk bottle and did not let go. From time to time, he took a deep breath as if the air also smelled like milk.
Lu Boyan took the milk bottle away from the little boyâs hand and covered him with the quilt.
At this time, Xiangyi hummed, and it seemed that she was about to cry.
Su Jianâan knew that it was time for her to get up and make milk formula for Xiangyi, but she was really sleepy and needed a lot of willpower to lift the quilt.
Lu Boyan was about to hold Xiangyi when he saw Su Jianâan struggling between getting up and continuing to sleep.
He held Su Jianâan down and said, âYou donât need to get up. Iâll do it.â
Su Jianâan replied with a âhmmâ in a daze and closed her eyes again.
âWahâ¦â
Xiangyi found that she had been ignored and couldnât help protesting loudly.
âGood girl, donât cry.â Lu Boyan appeased the little girl. âYour mommy and brother are sleeping.â
Xiangyi also wanted to sleep, but she was so hungry that she was about to cry.
Lu Boyan hurriedly picked up the little girl and fed her the milk that had just been made.
âMm!â
The little girl finally calmed down and gulped down the milk.
When Su Jianâan heard that Xiangyi had calmed down, she felt at ease and fell asleep again.
That night, Su Jianâan heard all kinds of noises several times. When she woke up, she found that Lu Boyan was busy taking care of the two little babies. She had never left the bed.
...
Su Jianâan spent the night in this way very peacefully. Except for occasionally waking up in a daze, she slept very soundly most of the time.
The next day, Su Jianâan woke up early and felt very guilty.
The kids were hers and Lu Boyanâs. How could she ask Lu Boyan to take care of them alone?
However, she just let Lu Boyan take care of them so that she could sleep at ease.
She felt really guilty.
Su Jianâan sat up and looked around. The two children were still sleeping. Lu Boyan was lying on the other side of the bed, sleeping as soundly as the two little kids.
It was already 7:30 a.m.
If it were in normal times, Lu Boyan would have already woken up.
He probably didnât sleep well last night, did he?
Su Jianâan lifted the quilt. As soon as her feet touched the ground and she stood up, she felt as if her lower abdomen had fallen. It was sore and swollen, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
She went to the bathroom, covered her belly, and sat down on the sofa.
...
Lu Boyan heard the noise in a daze and opened his eyes. Sure enough, Su Jianâan had woken up.
She often felt lethargic and rarely woke up earlier than him. Today, she woke up early, which was very abnormal.
Lu Boyan had already gotten out of bed and walked to Su Jianâan. He squatted down and looked at her. âWhatâs wrong?â
Su Jianâan looked up and was a little surprised to see Lu Boyan. She forced a smile and asked, âWerenât you sleeping? Why did you suddenly wake up?â
Lu Boyan took Su Jianâanâs hands, looked at her, and asked, âDoes your belly hurt?â
Su Jianâan did not want to admit it so as not to make Lu Boyan worry.
However, her pale face had betrayed her.
She could only smile and say, âDonât worry. Iâll be fine in a few days.â
How could Lu Boyan not be worried?
Without much hesitation, he held Su Jianâan in his arms.
His arms were extremely strong, and his chest was firm and warm. It was like a harbor that could shelter one from the wind and rain, giving one a sense of security.
Su Jianâan was too familiar with Lu Boyanâs arms, but she was still not used to being suddenly picked up by him. She could not hide her surprise and looked at him.
Lu Boyan gave a brief explanation, âGo back to bed and lie down.â
Su Jianâan didnât even have the chance to say no. Lu Boyan directly put her on the bed and handed her a hot-water bottle. âTake it.â
Su Jianâan placed the hot-water bottle on her lower abdomen, grabbed Lu Boyan, and motioned for him to rest assured. âIâm fine. You donât need to worry.â
Lu Boyan pushed aside a few strands of hair on Su Jianâanâs forehead and touched her forehead. âIâll take you to the doctor in a few days.â
Su Jianâan immediately cried, âI hate taking medicine the most!â
Lu Boyan knew that Su Jianâan hated taking medicine, and she had been disliking it since she was a child.
But in her current situation, it was inevitable for her to take medicine.
Lu Boyanâs hand slipped down and gently stroked Su Jianâanâs face. âI know this is tough, but youâll be fine after taking the medicine.â
Su Jianâan didnât say anything.
She still looked resistant, but she knew that Lu Boyan did it for her sake.
In the end, she nodded.
Lu Boyan got a glass of warm water and handed it to Su Jianâan. âDrink some water first.â
Su Jianâan took the water, looked at Lu Boyan, and said, âThank you for your hard work last night.â
âSilly.â Lu Boyan smiled. âItâs my duty to take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi.â
Su Jianâan was very curious about why Lu Boyan would think that way. She looked at him in confusion and asked, âWhy do you say that?â
Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianâan and looked at her deeply. âItâs hard enough for you to bring them to this world. Of course, I have to take responsibility for taking care of them.â
Su Jianâan smiled and asked, âAre Sijue and Bai Tang coming today?â
âYes.â Lu Boyan thought for a moment and specially told Su Jianâan, âBai Tang always says that he wants to see you. If you find him too annoying, you can rest in the bedroom and ignore him.â
âI do want to see him.â Su Jianâan said with a smile, âIâm very curious about if heâs so talkative.â
Lu Boyan rubbed Su Jianâanâs head. âDonât have too much expectation.â
Su Jianâan nodded speechlessly.
She didnât take Lu Boyanâs words seriously, but she knew one thing.
Lu Boyan must have been making fun of Bai Tang.
Su Jianâan felt much better after applying the hot-water bottle to her belly. In addition, she was thinking about making it up to Lu Boyan, so she asked, âWhat do you want to eat for breakfast? Iâll make it for you.â
âLeave todayâs breakfast to the chef.â Lu Boyan held Su Jianâan down and ordered gently, âYou just need to have a good rest.â
Su Jianâan knew that she could not argue with Lu Boyan, so she did not insist on it. She nodded and said, âOkay.â
After the couple finished breakfast, Xiyu and Xiangyi also woke up.
Early in the morning, Xiangyi began to babble again. She looked around curiously and tried to look up from time to time. Her energetic look was a stark contrast to Xiyuâs.
Xiyu had a cool expression on his face as soon as he woke up. He frowned slightly, just like the way Lu Boyan looked when he thought about things.
The only difference between Xiyu and Lu Boyan was that Lu Boyan usually considered the companyâs affairs, while the little boy was considering whether he should cry or not.
Lu Boyan knew that Xiyu would be grumpy when he got up, so he walked up to the little boy and said as if he was discussing with him or threatening him, âYour mommy is not feeling well. Donât cry, okay?â
âThereâs no point in threatening him.â
Su Jianâan sighed, picked up Xiyu, and pampered him. He finally drank the milk obediently and did not cry.
This was her routine, but Xiyu still cried as much as he wanted.
She thought for a moment and found that Lu Boyanâs words might have worked. She looked at Lu Boyan and said, âXiyu does listen to you much.â
Lu Boyan rubbed Xiyuâs face and said calmly, âItâs not strange that a boy would listen to his father.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiyu made a strong sound of âhmmâ as if he was resisting Lu Boyanâs touch.
Lu Boyan frowned and looked at Xiyu angrily. âBrat, youâre supposed to listen to me, arenât you?â
Seeing this, Su Jianâan couldnât help but laugh.
It seemed that Xiyu was not completely obedient to Lu Boyan.
In this way, she would be able to feel balanced.
