A crescent moon slanted in from the horizon.
Shen Ning was sitting on the bed teaching Xiao Xiao to sing nursery rhymes.
"Mommy, we're here." After a while, Coco and Ding Ding rushed in, each holding a small pillow. As soon as they came in, they took off their slippers and climbed straight onto the bed.
"Hey, why are you in my sister's room?" The two little guys crawled in and got close to Shen Ning, one on each side, snuggling up to her.
"Hmph, Mommy, you and Daddy are so partial. You sleep with my sister every day. I don't accept it." Keke rubbed his little head into Shen Ning's arms. It has been a long time since he smelled the sweet scent of his mommy. He is also a child and misses his mommy too.
"Mommy, you used to spend every day with Coco and Xiaoxiao. Now that you finally come home, you don't even spend more time with me. It's not fair to me." Ding Ding also pouted to express his dissatisfaction.
Faced with the little guys vying for favor, Shen Ning's heart softened.
"Mommy also wants to be with you, but you are over five years old and will soon go to elementary school. You have grown into little men. Men cannot sleep with Mommy and your sisters. You must learn to bear loneliness and courage on your own, understand?" She explained softly.
"But I just want to be with mommy." The two little guys simply lay down next to Shen Ning and buried their heads in the quilt.
Shen Ning smiled helplessly.
At the bedroom door, the man poked his big head inside and then walked in.
"Little guys, get up quickly. You've been sleeping in daddy's place." Li Zhenting patted the quilts of the two little guys with a serious expression.
After Coco and Xiaoxiao rolled around in the quilt, Coco stuck out her round little head and looked at Daddy with red cheeks: "Daddy, we'll sleep with Mommy tonight. You can sleep by yourself. You're already grown up, and it's time for you to learn to live independently. Don't cling to Mommy every day."
"..." Li Zhenting was speechless for a moment.
"Mommy is the queen. She flips the cards every night, and whoever gets the prize is the winner. However, Mommy likes me the most and sleeps with me every day." Xiaoxiao was the most proud. Although she was pushed to the corner now, she was still very excited. During this period, Mommy and Daddy slept with her every night, and everyone gave her enough love. She has been spoiled to the point that she speaks in a delicate voice.
Li Zhenting's face turned cold.
Still flipping cards? Now he is not even as good as a concubine in front of Shen Ning! How outrageous!
but
Ever since Shen Ning moved back home, the entire second floor has become bustling with activity. The three little guys scramble to sleep with Shen Ning every night. Although he has managed to stop them with threats and coaxing, they are still unwilling to give up and keep an eye on this place every night.
He really likes this lively feeling.
Shen Ning pursed her lips and smiled. She was really happy to be with the children!
Seeing Shen Ning smile, Li Zhenting's face turned cold again. He glanced at Shen Ning sideways, but an unpredictable smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Children, how about Daddy tell you a story from Water Margin? Wu Song fights the big tiger." He simply sat down beside the bed and asked temptingly.
"Yeah, that's great, but I want to hear the story of how Sun Wukong defeated the White Bone Demon three times."
"Okay, I'll tell you everything, but you just have to lie down nicely."
"Okay, Daddy, we are all lying down, please go ahead and tell me." The three little guys quickly lay down and cried in their baby voices.
Li Zhenting began to tell them stories, and his stories were vivid and moving.
Shen Ning was lying half leaning against the bed screen, drowsy.
Pregnancy does make people sleepy, and after a while, she couldn't open her eyes.
At some point, a pair of strong hands picked her up.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in Li Zhenting's arms and woke up suddenly.
