Chapter 93 As their dad
Yu Chen crouched down as he ruffled little Rui’s 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 Chen’s 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, let’s go get dressed now Ranran!" he sounded ecstatic as he held Little Ran’s hand before he turned to Luo Xiaolei. "Mommy, don’t worry about us. We can get change on our own. We’ll come out as soon as we’re 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 Chen’s 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 couldn’t comprehend, but why was it that, just one look at him and she couldn’t even get mad?
Ugh! Stop looking at me like you are a puppy just waiting to be scolded! I didn’t even say anything yet! That’s cheating you know?!
While Luo Xiaolei was still complaining within her, Yu Chen’s voice interrupted her.
"I don’t want to reject the little bun. And... little Rui is smart, he wouldn’t accept just any excuse. I also personally don’t want them to think that we decided to live together without any thoughts about marriage. As their dad, I can’t 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 couldn’t 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? I’m about to be convinced now that you’re actually the most dangerous species on Earth!
At that moment, the soft morning breeze made Luo Xiaolei’s 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 didn’t hear what he asked at all.
"Er, what?"
"Your wound, how’s it?"
"Oh... nothing to worry about."
"Don’t go to school today and have a rest."
"Don’t worry. I’m completely fine."
Seeing that Luo Xiaolei wasn’t bothered by her wound at all, Yu Chen then told her about the request from the twins’ teacher and eventually, Luo Xiaolei finally agreed to skip school and visit the little buns’ 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 wasn’t wearing his panda outfit, obviously because he wasn’t wearing his usual dark toned, business attire.
"I’m sure your employees will like your new style for today." She complimented him with a warm smile but...
"Employees? I’m not going to work today."
"Oh, I see? Wait, you’re coming with us?!" Luo Xiaolei exclaimed.
"Yes. Why? Can’t I come?"
"No, I mean, you are the CEO of an empire! Of course, I’m sure you’re very... extremely busy. So you don’t need to come. We can’t 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.
"I’m 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 wasn’t that busy anymore? How could he, the great CEO of a giant company, not be that busy?!
"Let’s 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 Chen’s back with an obvious doubt in her eyes.
Gu Wei, who noticed Luo Xiaolei’s 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 don’t worry about him not going to work. You’re absolutely NOT disturbing him at all, believe me." He swore, grinning wide at her.
Luo Xiaolei: ". . ."
