Hearing the child pounding on the door, Ye Qing instinctively tried to get up to open it, but just as she made a move, Xi Quan also woke up and started to get up, so Ye Qing quickly closed her eyes.
Although both of them were awake, given the way they were embracing, they couldn't see each other's eyes. As long as their hands and feet didn't move, they wouldn't notice.
So to avoid embarrassment, Ye Qing continued to pretend to be asleep, but her ears were perked up, listening to the sounds.
She could sense that Xi Quan was momentarily surprised when he woke up, but because the children were still knocking on the door relentlessly outside, Xi Quan's surprise didn't last long, and he quickly went to open the door for the children.
Then Ye Qing wondered whether she should pretend that she had been woken up, or what.
The important thing was how to make himself look more natural, in line with the state of just waking up but not knowing what had just happened. So Ye Qing didn't open his eyes immediately, but hesitated for a while with his eyes closed.
The child might not be able to tell whether Ye Qing was asleep or not, but Xi Quan, being an adult, could tell because Ye Qing's eyelashes were constantly fluttering.
Thinking about the unexpected incident when he woke up, Xi Quan quickly understood why Ye Qing was acting this way. Although he was happy that the two of them had become closer, he felt that some things should not be rushed, as haste makes waste.
So he said to the two children, "Mom is still sleeping, let's go out first."
Hearing this, Ye Qing, who was pretending to be asleep, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she no longer needed to worry about how to make herself look more natural.
However, before Ye Qing could truly relax, he heard Ye Yixin say, "Dad, Mom hasn't woken up yet. You have to kiss her awake. Isn't that what Sleeping Beauty is like?"
Hearing this, Ye Qing closed her eyes even tighter, out of helplessness. She felt it was true; this child really was her biological son!
Ye Yixin's words also surprised Xi Quan. Originally, Xi Quan had decided to take it slow and not rush or be rash.
But upon hearing his daughter's words, he became agitated again, feeling that he couldn't let his child down. However, he was an adult after all and knew where Ye Qing's bottom line lay, so he still hesitated somewhat.
However, his two children were truly angels, sent by heaven to help him. After his daughter offered him sincere and spiritual advice, his son, though saying nothing, nudged Xi Quan from behind.
Xi Quan didn't realize the child would be so proactive, so he didn't pay attention and was pushed by the child, staggering and falling directly onto the bed.
After mentally cursing the kids several times, Ye Qing didn't hear Xi Quan's voice. Ye Qing thought to himself, "Oh no, he wouldn't actually join in the commotion with those two ignorant kids, would he?"
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Qing didn't want to act naturally anymore and was so surprised that she opened her eyes. And it just so happened!
The moment she opened her eyes, Xi Quan was pushed onto the bed by the two children and kissed Ye Qing directly on the cheek.
Both of them stared at each other with wide, surprised eyes. Compared to Xi Quan's embarrassment mixed with smugness, Ye Qing was more angry. Instinctively, she reached out to push Xi Quan away.
However, the two children clapped excitedly behind Xi Quan, their childish voices filled with joy and excitement. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the two children had not washed up yet, and she could see that there was still sleep in their eyes. In particular, the daughter, Ye Yixin, had messy hair. From her mother's perspective, her hair was really messy, like a bird's nest.
However, Ye Qing realized that she had never seen the two children so excited before.
She was momentarily dazed.
It is very difficult for a child to be without a father when he is young, but this is a hardship that Ye Qing understands. The child does not have much of a concept of a father. As he grows older, the child develops a concept of a father. Although he has never asked Ye Qing directly, he seems to be growing up happily and healthily like other children.
However, she knew that the excitement and exhilaration in the two children's eyes at this moment were still quite different from those of other children their age.
Because he had his back to the children and couldn't see their expressions, and because he hadn't spent much time with them, Xi Quan didn't feel the melancholy and complicated emotions that Ye Qing felt, even though he heard their excited voices.
Although Xi Quan was happy with the result, he was still worried about Ye Qing's reaction. He was still furious about Ye Qing's reaction after kissing her last night.
So Xi Quan didn't go too far and quickly stood up, supporting himself with his hands.
Seeing Xi Quan already standing there before she could even push him away, Ye Qing wanted to roll her eyes at him or glare at him, but then felt that would make her seem too dramatic. Although regardless of whether Xi Quan was happy with the outcome, he was still somewhat passive.
But it wouldn't be appropriate to say nothing. Anyway, Ye Qing's feelings were very complicated. As a result, the two children seemed unaware of the undercurrent between the adults. They laughed while covering their eyes, as if they were looking forward to something.
Xi Quan saw this too, so he grabbed one child with each hand and walked out, saying, "Let's go quickly, or Mom will get angry."
Ye Qing was initially unsure how to express her emotions, but hearing Xi Quan's words seemed to give her an outlet, and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
But perhaps because she didn't get angry earlier, Xi Quan thought she might have tacitly agreed to several things.
So after Ye Qing expressed her attitude with a cold snort, Xi Quan actually said, "Did you hear that? Mom is angry."
"Dad, you're actually afraid of Mom."
"A father who is afraid of his mother is a good father."
...
Oh!
Hearing Xi Quan's conversation with the children, Ye Qing thought she should have slapped Xi Quan across the face earlier. Otherwise, listen to what Xi Quan was saying... he was actually going a step further. Didn't he know that they could divorce at any moment?!
After getting up and washing up, Ye Qing went downstairs and saw that the two children had already finished washing up with Xi Quan's help. Ye Qing didn't say much, grabbed her bag, and prepared to go to work. She didn't want to talk to the father and his two sons any more.
Even when Ye Qing saw Xi Quan clumsily braiding Ye Yixin's hair with pig-like hands, making it hard to describe how it looked, she pretended not to see anything.
But just as they were about to leave, Xi Quan's words once again stopped Ye Qing in her tracks.
"What did you say?" Ye Qing turned around after processing Xi Quan's words.
