Luo Xiaolei couldn't even speak upon hearing what the little bun had said that all she did was stare at Yu Chen with big round eyes.
Yu Chen on the other hand immediately glanced at Luo Xiaolei and when he saw her obviously shocked expression, even though nothing his face remained expressionless as usual, his Adam's Apple bobbed up and down, indicating that her reaction made him gulp.
"Ehem..." Luo Xiaolei broke the silence."Little Rui, Little Ran, it's time for you two to get ready for school." She said and even though Little Rui was obviously unwilling, in the end, he still obeyed.
The twins then quietly climbed out of the bed.
Luo Xiaolei brought them out of the bedroom to help them get ready, leaving the big panda sitting on the bed, frozen still, as if one of his world's pillar just collapsed.
While the little buns entered the bathroom to take their bath together, Luo Xiaolei was preparing their clothes in the dressing room when she noticed that one of the closets in Yu Chen's wardrobe was slightly opened. She moved to close the cabinet but something caught her attention. Curious, she opened the closet instead to peek inside when to her surprise, the closet was filled with dresses. H-huh? Whose clothes are these?
Luo Xiaolei was even more surprised to see that the dresses were no doubt brand new and never been used yet. She narrowed her eyes. Could it be that this luxury branded dresses were for her? Haha, dear self, don't be presumptive!
"I bought those dresses for you. I hope you like them." Luo Xiaolei almost jumped upon hearing Yu Chen's deep voice. She whirled around as her hand flew to her chest in surprise.
"Sorry, " he said the instant he realized that he just startled her.
Luo Xiaolei cleared her throat as she quickly assembled her composure."For me?"
"Mm."
"T-thank you but..."
"You don't like them?"𝘧r𝚎𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝗻o𝘷𝘦𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
"No, that's not it. It's just that these clothes are too expensive."
Yu Chen who was leaning on the door frame tilted his head slightly. He remembered Gu Wei telling him that she would be happy once she saw these dresses so what was this?
"Don't worry about the price; they're not that expensive." He explained. His voice was certain as always.
But an invisible big sweat drop fell from Luo Xiaolei's forehead as she complained within her. 'Oh yeah. I know these probably cost a tiny amount for you Mr. multibillionaire but this is too much. I don't even want to calculate the cost of all these... and you bought an entire wardrobe for me, Mister. How could I not be bothered? I'm just your accidental fiancée, not your wife!'
"O-okay, but don't buy me something too expensive again next time." She said and then she grinned."Don't worry, I'm not a high maintenance type of woman."
Luo Xiaolei didn't mean to be harsh or anything. She just didn't like the idea of having her man buy her everything she needed. She preferred getting what she wanted on her own, without using her man's money and she didn't hesitate to say it. It might be because he was too honest with her that she too didn't want to lie to him now. She just hoped that this didn't disappoint him.
And her hope was fulfilled. The man simply nodded as he said the words, "Okay, I understand." There was no trace of disappointment in his voice. He even sounded like he was pleased instead. If only Luo Xiaolei knew that Yu Chen was actually expecting this kind of reaction from her. He knew that buying her things, no matter how expensive it was, wouldn't impress her at all and confirming it made him somewhat proud and delighted.
"And... about what little Rui said a while ago." Yu Chen abruptly changed the topic. He walked closer to her and his tone was apologetic while Luo Xiaolei raised a brow as she silently waited for what he was going to say.
When he stopped before her, she felt as though the force in eyes intensified.
"Are you... upset?" his voice sounded quite worried, surprising Luo Xiaolei. The reason why she didn't make a fuss about what little Rui said a while ago even though it really shocked her, was because she realized that it was purely a misunderstanding on Little Rui's side, especially because he thought that they were married couple. She knew how actively curious the boy was so she couldn't blame Yu Chen for this. Although she didn't know the story, she could just tell what had happened. She even imagined him asking Yu Chen weird questions including something like'when would you and mommy give us a baby sister?' and she could only understand if Yu Chen answered him with'in the near future'. Well, she was so used to little Rui's questions that she could even predict the course of conversation about the topics he was so curious about. She also knew that he wouldn't stop unless he was given an answer that satisfied him. She knew the struggle of dealing with a curious and extremely intelligent kid so she totally understood. Moreover, she just couldn't imagine this innocent big panda doing dirty tricks at all.
"I'm not upset okay?" She replied, pressing her lips tight to hide her amusement. Well, who wouldn't be amused seeing this so called devil actually worried about what a little child had said?
While Luo Xiaolei was busy suppressing herself not to grin at him, Yu Chen silently sighed in relief.
"You mean... you don't disapprove the idea of giving them a baby sister, right?" he said, watching her carefully as he spoke and then, Luo Xiaolei choked.
Cough cough... my goodness Yu Chen! Where did you even get that conclusion?
"That's not what I mean!" she gasped when suddenly, another voice reached her ears, jolting her.
"So... mommy... don't want to give us a baby sister?" Little Rui was already standing behind her, cutely wrapped in a yellow towel, looking at her in both disappointment and disbelief."Mommy, why?" he looked like he was about to cry, rendering Luo Xiaolei speechless.
My goodness Little bun! Your daddy panda still faints over a kiss so would you please stop talking about babies?! I can't believe this! What did you do to my little buns, huh, Yu Chen?! T^T
