Xu Tingchuan released Ni Sitian, got up and leaned over, then lay back down on the bed, hugged her again, and smiled, "No, Tuantuan is being good."
Actually, it's not just that Tuantuan depends on her; she depends on Tuantuan even more. On the very first day they slept separately, she felt uneasy, while Tuantuan slept soundly.
That's understandable. When Tuantuan didn't have a mother, she always slept in a crib by herself, so she had already gotten used to it.
"Alright, you don't need to worry so much. Tuantuan is always a very good girl when she sleeps." Xu Tingchuan kissed Ni Sitian's temple reassuringly.
Ni Sitian could only nod. Anyway, they were still in the same room, and she could get up to check on Tuantuan at any time.
"Be quieter next time, or you'll wake Tuantuan." She pinched him and warned.
"Then keep your voice down."
"Be gentle, do you think I'd yell that loudly!" Ni Sitian slapped him, embarrassed and annoyed.
Xu Tingchuan suppressed a laugh, and after she slapped him a few more times, he took her hand and kissed it.
This is probably a perfect illustration of the saying "a beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love."
Ni Sitian took back the fingers he had kissed one by one and started talking about what she had mentioned last time: "I asked my sister what she thought. She is willing to go on blind dates, but I don't think she feels anything about love. She just wants to find a partner to live with. She also said that if she has children, it will save her the trouble of having another child, since it is difficult for her to have another one."
"Liang Xiujie also means the same thing. His first marriage failed, and he's seen it all in love. Now he wants to find a stable and reliable woman to settle down with. However, he also needs to consider whether he can get along with the children." Xu Tingchuan asked Gu Chen to inquire. Since they were talking about blind dates and were both at this age, it was natural to make things clear and put the conditions on the table.
"Then let's arrange for them to meet sometime." Ni Sitian sighed softly. She remembered the way her sister looked when she said those words, and felt really sorry for her. It was as if she had seen through the wickedness of the world and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
“No need to be too deliberate. Tuantuan will have her first birthday party at the beginning of next month. We can hold a small party at home and invite some relatives and friends. That way, they will feel more at ease when they meet. If it doesn’t work out, it won’t be too awkward. What do you think?” Xu Tingchuan asked Ni Sitian, looking down at her.
Ni Sitian thought it was a good idea and nodded: "Yes, it would be best if Liang Xiujie brought the child along as well. Actually, being a stepmother is not as easy as you think. I hope that after you see the child, you can think more clearly and also find out if they can get along."
"Wife." Hearing her say that, Xu Tingchuan couldn't help but kiss her cheek again, and said with some emotion, "You've really grown up."
Ni Sitian was speechless. She's already twenty-four this year, how could she not have grown up!
Having gone through so much, she naturally became more mature in her thinking.
"Let's invite the three Li siblings as well," Xu Tingchuan suggested.
“Hmm.” Ni Sitian initially disliked Li Yinuo because he received Gu Linping’s maternal love, while she had nothing. However, after seeing the needle marks on his body, she felt sorry for the child. He would have to inject insulin for the rest of his life to survive, which was truly pitiful.
"Then it's settled. Think carefully about who else you need to invite, make a list so we can start preparing early," Xu Tingchuan said.
Ni Sitian was a little sleepy, so she rested her face on his arm, vaguely thinking about the list, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
