After Shen Muzhi finished speaking, he stepped back and walked out of the kitchen.
Xiang Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning behind his words, and her face fell.
Pshaw, who wants to experience whether he'll be able to perform even if he wants to!
Xiang Zhilan was outmaneuvered, and angrily picked up her teacup, took a big gulp, and choked a few times because she drank too fast.
Shen Muzhi turned his head and saw that she was choking and her face was red. She had her lips slightly pursed. He wanted to see which one of them was brave enough to be her boyfriend.
Around nine o'clock, after dressing the children, Ni Sitian called to urge them, eager to see the twins.
Xiang Zhilan had arranged with the car factory to have the car repaired and inspected this morning and then drive it over, but when she called just now, they said it wouldn't be delivered until tomorrow.
In the end, they could only agree to let Shen Muzhi take them, since it wasn't very convenient for one person to take two children and hail a taxi on the street.
When Xiang Zhilan arrived at the villa on the island in the lake, it was about 9:30. She had just gotten out of the car when she saw Ni Sitian walking towards her.
"Remember to call me when you're about to go back," Shen Muzhi said to her after taking the child down from the bed.
Xiang Zhilan pushed him into the car like a traitor, urging him, "Hurry up and go."
Shen Muzhi waved to the children, reversed the car, turned it around, and drove off.
When Ni Sitian saw that it was Shen Muzhi, she was slightly taken aback before continuing to walk quickly toward Zhi Lan.
“These must be Hengheng and Xiaokui.” Ni Sitian squatted down, touched the hats on their heads, and smiled gently: “They are so cute.”
"Hello, godmother," the two greeted Ni Sitian in unison.
Ni Sitian was quite surprised. She had thought that they would be a little shy when they first met, but they actually called her godmother.
Ni Sitian was overjoyed and hugged them both tightly, saying, "Hello."
"Where's Tuantuan?" Xiang Zhilan also wanted to see Ni Sitian's child. She had heard from Ni Sitian's parents that Tuantuan was a child prodigy and was exceptionally smart.
“They’re inside.” Ni Sitian picked one up and said to Xiang Zhilan, “It’s cold outside, let’s go inside quickly.”
Xiang Zhilan then picked up the other one and they walked together toward the main house of the villa.
The room was warm and cozy, and a little bundle dressed in a panda costume sat on a blanket, with a maid watching quietly beside him.
"Tuantuan, your older brother and sister are here." Ni Sitian put Xiaokui down and spoke to Tuantuan, who was engrossed in studying the nine-linked rings in his hands.
Tuantuan didn't look up, as if her whole mind was focused on the nine-linked rings.
Ni Sitian was a little helpless. She turned to Xiang Zhilan and said, "That's just how he is. He'll focus on things he's interested in and won't give up until he figures them out."
Xiang Zhilan smiled and said, "Isn't that just like your Mr. Xu? That's great. It's rare to see a child this young have such a focused attention."
Ni Sitian was well aware that her son was indeed special in this respect. While most children need to cultivate their concentration, he seemed to be born with it, and she rarely had to worry about him.
"Aunt Qin, go to the kitchen and get me some snacks." Ni Sitian looked up and said to the maid, and asked Xiang Zhilan to sit on the sofa so that the children could play on the carpet.
After a while, the maid brought out tea and snacks, placed them on the coffee table, and then slowly retreated.
"Hengheng, Xiaokui, come and have some snacks." Ni Sitian picked up a bear-shaped biscuit and coaxed the two children over. She then said to Xiang Zhilan, "You should try some too. I made it myself."
Xiang Zhilan took a piece and paired it with the brewed Earl Grey tea. The taste was quite a pleasant surprise.
