"Are you alright now?"
"I am very well." He didn't hesitate. Good.
Luo Xiaolei felt relieved. She had this theory, no, maybe a built in detector, that if this man spoke with hesitation, she was 80% sure he was lying. She was somehow just so sure of it. She wasn't able to read anything by looking at his poker face but when he talked, it was a different story. Although, this posed another challenge because the man didn't really speak much at all.
After their breakfast, the car was ready and waiting outside. The three were getting ready to leave.
"Your class will be until five, right?" Yu Chen, who was standing by the entrance with them, turned to Luo Xiaolei.
"Mm"
"I will pick the kids after their class so you don't have to worry about them."
"Eh? You yourself?!" Luo Xiaolei exclaimed in surprise but the man just casually nodded."But you're busy too."
"It's okay. My schedule isn't tight today."
"O-oh, I see." But still, you? The almighty Yu Chen is going to go and pick children up from school?!
Luo Xiaolei was bewildered but she soon realized that Yu Chen would surely just stay in the car and send one of his men to pick them up from inside the school so she didn't make a fuss about it anymore and just said her thanks.
"Okay, it's time to go." Luo Xiaolei then said, calling the little boys' attention.
Little Rui moved closer to Yu Chen. His little arms spread wide open, obviously asking his daddy for a hug.
When Yu Chen saw him doing that, he knelt on one knee and accepted the little bun's embrace."Bye, daddy, " he said with a smile as he pulled away but the hug seemed to not be enough. The boy was still looking at him in anticipation, as if waiting for more.
Yu Chen: "..."
Luo Xiaolei: "..."
"Daddy, kiss." Little Rui, who suddenly became impatient from waiting, said as he gestured for his daddy to kiss him on the forehead. 𝗳𝒓ee𝚠𝒆𝐛nov𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
Finally, Yu Chen understood what he was waiting for and he ruffled the little boy's hair. In the next moment, he kissed Little Rui's forehead.
Luo Xiaolei was wide-eyed. She didn't think that little Rui would ask Yu Chen to do that same thing she had been doing to them every time she said goodbye to the twins back when the two were still in the orphanage.
Seeing Yu Chen obediently following the twins' wishes without a word of protest, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but smile.
Of course, Little Ran was next in line behind Rui and obviously, he wanted the same. So Yu Chen embraced him and then kissed him too.
At that moment, the four of them, Luo Xiaolei, Yu Chen and the twins, didn't even notice the almost bulging eyes of all of Yu Chen's men present in the scene. Well, it seemed like the men momentarily disappeared at that moment.
But the show didn't end there.
"Thank you, daddy. How about mommy?" Little Rui's voice rang again, causing Luo Xiaolei's mouth to hang open in surprise.
Luo Xiaolei: "..." Little Rui, there's no need for that! T^T
Yu Chen then stood up and his gaze fell on her. Err... Yu Chen, you don't have to listen to the kids' every request you know---
Luo Xiaolei was stunned when the man moved towards her. His coal black eyes searching hers as he stood close to her. The light and blissful atmosphere between them suddenly turned a bit suffocating for her that she subconsciously took a little step back.
That little movement, didn't escape Yu Chen's notice and his gaze dropped for a moment but he looked intently into her eyes again. He lifted his hand and then his elegant fingers suddenly but slowly tucked her hair behind her ears. God only knew how that simple gesture made Luo Xiaolei's heart throb like crazy.
"May I?" he asked. His voice was like melting honey, regardless of whether he was aiming for that or not and it made Luo Xiaolei fall in a daze so badly.
Luo Xiaolei gulped and then she averted her eyes away from his, but the first thing she saw were the Little Buns' gazes, looking at her innocently, in anticipation.
When the twins suddenly smiled at her as if telling her the words "It's alright, don't be shy, mommy", Luo Xiaolei bit her lip and could only give in.
She returned her gaze towards Yu Chen and smiled a little awkwardly at him.
"O-of course." She said and...
For the first time since she met him, she saw Yu Chen smile. The corner of his gorgeous lips only lifted a bit, but to her, she called it a smile and it made her hold her breath.
And then, the man leaned in towards her.
When his cool lips landed on her forehead, Luo Xiaolei felt as though her heart stopped beating.
...
As soon as the car left, a certain man not far from Yu Chen almost jumped in happiness. 'Oh my god, our boss has turned into the gentlest ever father and husband too, overnight! Oh my god, this too unbelievable!!' he was screaming inside him.
He had filmed the entire scene, from when the four of them stepped out of the house. When Gu Wei saw them, he thought that their big boss, Yu Chen, had become the daddy-wife, sending his children to school and his mommy-hubby to work. It amused him so he decided to shoot a video documentary rather than take a picture.
After celebrating, the man walked towards Yu Chen."Wow! Boss, that move is a killer. I didn't know you were such a—"
Gu Wei's eyes narrowed. He lifted his hand and waved it in front of Yu Chen, who was now like a statue, staring at the empty road where the car disappeared.
When there was no reaction from Yu Chen, Gu Wei gasped.
"Hey, boss... Are you still alive?!"
