Chapter 375 But you are Mom's
Upon hearing footsteps, Ji Xiaomeng and Xie Zhiyan, who were wrestling over the chassis, saw who it was and shouted in unison, "Dad!"
Xie Qinglan glanced at the bathroom where the sound of running water was coming from and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Xiaomeng rolled her eyes slightly, "I want to sleep with Daddy."
Xie Zhiyan glanced at her sister, said nothing, and sat up to ruffle her messy short hair.
Xie Qinglan chuckled, "So, do you want to sleep with Daddy or Mommy?"
Ji Xiaomeng grinned, revealing a row of tiny white teeth, and said ingratiatingly, "I want them all."
Xie Qinglan could consider other things, but she refused without even thinking about this: "Go back to your room and sleep."
He and Huo Huaisui each had their own things to do during the day, and after getting off work in the evening, they continued to "work overtime" to take care of the children. The only time they could spend alone together in a 24-hour day was after the children were asleep at night. If he didn't use that time to communicate with his wife and children, he would have to go crazy to sleep with the two little brats.
Ji Xiaomeng burrowed under the covers and acted spoiled, saying, "Mom has already promised to sleep with us tonight."
Xie Zhiyan nodded in agreement. "That's right, Mom already agreed."
Xie Qinglan pointed to the bed they were on, "I bought this bed. Anyone who gets on has to get my permission. Your mother's permission is useless."
The family of four had already moved to the new house, but because the kindergarten their two little ones attended was closer to Lanjiang New City, Xie Qinglan and Huo Huaisui decided to move back here for convenience, and will return to the new house when the two children start elementary school.
Ji Xiaomeng immediately retorted, "But you are Mom's."
A smile appeared in Xie Qinglan's eyes. "Yes. I am your mother's, and your mother is mine too."
Ji Xiaomeng blinked. "What about us?"
Xie Qinglan: "During the day, it belongs to me and your mother; at night, it belongs to Father Moon."
Ji Xiaomeng: "..."
"What 'Grandpa Moon'?" Huo Huai Sui pushed open the bathroom door and came out, when he heard this question.
Ji Xiaomeng glanced at her father, and remembering how much he usually doted on her, she couldn't bear to tell him what had happened. She whispered, "Mom, Xiaomeng wants to sleep with you tonight."
Huo Huai Sui: "Then why aren't you asleep? What time is it? Your brother is already asleep. Are you going to squat on the bed counting mushrooms?"
"..." Ji Xiaomeng looked down and realized that her younger brother had already fallen asleep in the spot she had chosen.
She had originally chosen a spot where she would sleep in the middle, with her parents on either side.
Now her younger brother sleeps in the middle, which means she can only sleep next to either her mother or her father.
You naughty little brother.
Ji Xiaomeng pouted, lay down next to Xie Zhiyan, and patted the spot beside her, "Mom, go to sleep."
Huo Huaisui: "I'm going to blow-dry my hair first."
Okay. Ji Xiaomeng added, "When you come back with your hair dried, remember to hug Xiaomeng while you sleep."
Huo Huaisui agreed and took the hairdryer to the living room.
Seeing that she couldn't get rid of these two little third wheels tonight, Xie Qinglan didn't insist and turned around to follow Huo Huaisui out.
Huo Huai Sui: "Why are you following me instead of taking a shower?"
Xie Qinglan took the hair dryer from her hand, "I'll dry your hair for you."
"I'm not without hands and feet, I can blow it myself." Huo Huai Sui muttered to himself, but still let him push him down to sit on the sofa.
It was already past nine o'clock, and the night was very quiet. The only sound in the living room was the hairdryer.
Huo Huaisui watched himself and Xie Qinglan on the television screen, and even now he still felt that the two of them were not a good match.
He looked almost exactly the same as when she first met him, and with age and experience, his demeanor had become more refined and attractive. She, on the other hand, had transformed from a slender young woman into a full-figured young woman, feeling her charm diminish with each passing day.
To this day, she still can't figure out what Xie Qinglan saw in her.
Fortunately, he was blind, otherwise she wouldn't have had such adorable children.
The sound of the hairdryer suddenly stopped.
Huo Huai Sui looked up: "What's wrong?"
Her hair wasn't dry yet.
Xie Qinglan unplugged the hairdryer and placed it casually on the coffee table. Then, she bent down and picked up Huo Huaisui.
"Excessive exposure to hot air damages hair; it will naturally dry out if you exercise."
"..."
I don't believe you for a second.
Huo Huai Sui wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him carry her as they walked. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Judging by the dates, your ex-girlfriend is about to give birth, right?"
The year after she married Xie Qinglan, she received a wedding invitation from Xu Dantong.
It wasn't exactly a whirlwind marriage. I heard they dated for several months, felt they got along well, and both families were very supportive, so they simply got married.
"I don't know." Xie Qinglan carried the person into the study and kicked the door shut with her leg.
Huo Huai Sui sighed, "Time flies."
Looking back on those long days when everyone was vying to outshine each other at various banquets, it feels like it was just yesterday.
Now, several years have passed, and those people from back then have gradually entered the grave of marriage, shifting their focus to their families. Even Lu Niannian, who used to love stunning people at public events, has rarely appeared in those places in recent years, looking like she's going to live behind the scenes and prepare to become a big shot.
Xie Qinglan placed her on the table, saying, "Your brother should be here soon too."
Huo Huaisui: "It should be soon."
This "quick" doesn't refer to having a baby quickly, since her brother can't have children even if he's undergone gender reassignment surgery.
Her brother is getting married soon.
She thought her brother was destined to be single forever, and she even started considering having a third child to continue the Huo family line. Last year, her brother finally found a girlfriend.
The heiress of a Hong Kong Island bank.
She is also the only child in her family.
She's a top student from the sea turtle family, with fair skin, a beautiful face, a slim waist, long legs, a gentle voice, and a good temperament.
She couldn't understand how someone could have fallen for her brother, that stingy bastard.
After much thought, I could only come up with one answer: like Xie Qinglan, he was slightly blind.
Xie Qinglan: "When your brother gets married, give him a big gift."
Huo Huai Sui didn't reply, swallowed the sob in her mouth, and bit his shoulder.
