Chapter 93 As their dad
I Hate You, Devil!
Yu Chen crouched down as he ruffled little Ruiâs hair. And then, he answered the little bun with a gentle voice. "Of course. You both can be my best men." He assured, causing the little guy to widen his eyes again.
"Promise?!" he exclaimed and the moment Yu Chen nodded, the little guy jumped victoriously, as though he just won a jackspot.
"Yey!!" Little Rui yelled before he stretched out his hand, stuck out his little finger, and then gestured his daddy to make a pinky promise with him.
As Luo Xiaolei watched the big panda and the little bun locked their pinkies together, her mouth could only hang open. She was at lost for words to say. It seemed like her two little buns were now completely and irrevocably on Yu Chenâs side now. Ah... this Yu Chen really is dangerous! He actually managed to charm my little buns to this extent?!
After their pinky promise, Little Rui stepped towards his little brother, his adorable wide smile not fading at all. "Okay, letâs go get dressed now Ranran!" he sounded ecstatic as he held Little Ranâs hand before he turned to Luo Xiaolei. "Mommy, donât worry about us. We can get change on our own. Weâll come out as soon as weâre done." He said and he even gave her an extremely cute wink.
The dumbstruck Luo Xiaolei pressed her temple with her thumb. But then, she suddenly grabbed Yu Chenâs hand and dragged him out of the dressing room until they were out on the veranda.
Luo Xiaolei sighed before she turned to look at Yu Chen straight in the face. She wanted to get mad since she knew that because of this, the little buns would start bugging her about the wedding nonstop. However, the moment she looked at his face, she suddenly felt defeated. He was just looking at her, with eyes filled with something she couldnât comprehend, but why was it that, just one look at him and she couldnât even get mad?
Ugh! Stop looking at me like you are a puppy just waiting to be scolded! I didnât even say anything yet! Thatâs cheating you know?!
While Luo Xiaolei was still complaining within her, Yu Chenâs voice interrupted her.
"I donât want to reject the little bun. And... little Rui is smart, he wouldnât accept just any excuse. I also personally donât want them to think that we decided to live together without any thoughts about marriage. As their dad, I canât be a bad example for them."
". . ." Luo Xiaolei felt like she was hit by a lost rusty arrow upon hearing his last sentence. She was reminded again that this man before her was from the era of chivalry so of course he would think like this. Sigh... this innocent lamb is really making me feel like I am the certified big bad wolf here...
"And, would you rather get bugged by them about their baby sister rather than our wedding?"
". . ."
At long last, Luo Xiaolei finally raised her white flag. She couldnât even manage to say a single word and Yu Chen already won, damn effortlessly, as if every single words he said was beautifully, perfectly scripted. And she even found herself preoccupied by the way he said the words "as their dad". Oh no, this is not good... Yu Chen, do you actually have some super power to make your opponent go dumb and helpless on their own? Iâm about to be convinced now that youâre actually the most dangerous species on Earth!
At that moment, the soft morning breeze made Luo Xiaoleiâs hair dance. When her hair fell down again, Yu Chen quietly reached out his hand. Then he carefully and slowly brushed away the strands of hair on her face before tucking them behind her ears.
What he did sent Luo Xiaolei into space for a moment, making her fall in a daze.
"Is your wound alright now?" Yu Chen asked, changing the topic. His voice somehow made her snap out of it but she didnât hear what he asked at all.
"Er, what?"
"Your wound, howâs it?"
"Oh... nothing to worry about."
"Donât go to school today and have a rest."
"Donât worry. Iâm completely fine."
Seeing that Luo Xiaolei wasnât bothered by her wound at all, Yu Chen then told her about the request from the twinsâ teacher and eventually, Luo Xiaolei finally agreed to skip school and visit the little bunsâ school instead.
...
Luo Xiaolei and the twins were already standing by the entrance when Yu Chen, who was already dressed handsomely, joined them. Somehow, he was much less intimidating even though he wasnât wearing his panda outfit, obviously because he wasnât wearing his usual dark toned, business attire.
"Iâm sure your employees will like your new style for today." She complimented him with a warm smile but...
"Employees? Iâm not going to work today."
"Oh, I see? Wait, youâre coming with us?!" Luo Xiaolei exclaimed.
"Yes. Why? Canât I come?"
"No, I mean, you are the CEO of an empire! Of course, Iâm sure youâre very... extremely busy. So you donât need to come. We canât possibly disturb your work like this." Luo Xiaolei tried her best to explain, not to offend him. But the man seemed unbothered as he replied.
"Iâm not that very busy anymore... lately." He said, rendering Lou Xiaolei speechless. Of course what he said was hard for her to believe. She experienced it herself in her previous life and she could even hardly take a break for herself. Back then, she even worked while she was on a vacation. Yet this man who was far bigger than her claimed that he wasnât that busy anymore? How could he, the great CEO of a giant company, not be that busy?!
"Letâs go daddy!" Little Rui then pulled Yu Chen towards the car and little Ran followed behind them, while Luo Xiaolei just stood there watching Yu Chenâs back with an obvious doubt in her eyes.
Gu Wei, who noticed Luo Xiaoleiâs expression, and of course, also heard their entire conversation, suddenly appeared behind her.
He sidled close to her and then he whispered. "Young miss. Actually, the boss fired himself half a day yesterday and for one whole day today so donât worry about him not going to work. Youâre absolutely NOT disturbing him at all, believe me." He swore, grinning wide at her.
Luo Xiaolei: ". . ."
