Qiao Xiuli turned her gaze away from the window. "No."
The older sister smiled and said, "Do you think you know my brother better than I do?"
Qiao Xiuli choked for a moment: "My dad often talks to me about your brother."
“I grew up with my older brother.”
Qiao Xiuli fell silent.
The older sister felt she had said everything she needed to say, so she stopped talking.
Another half hour passed, and Chou Chou woke up. After waking up, Chou Chou rolled around on the bed for a bit, and then sat up. When Chou Chou saw her older sister sitting by the window, she immediately stretched out her little arms. "Mommy, hug me."
"Okay." The older sister stood up, walked to the bedside, and picked up Chou Chou.
Chou Chou pressed her little face against her sister's face: "Mommy."
"baby."
"Mother."
"baby."
When Chou Chou wakes up and finds her older sister beside her, she'll cuddle up to her and say, "Mommy, baby's awake."
"Then wake up and we'll go home."
Ugly rubbed against its sister's neck. "Okay."
After a while, my older sister took Ugly and left.
After they left, Qiao Xiuli sat by the window for a long time.
When Han Bin returned home that evening, he was delighted to see Tengteng playing happily with Chou Chou in the yard. "You're back?"
"Um."
Ugly ran over and hugged Han Bin's leg. "Grandpa, are you off work?"
"Okay." Han Bin picked up Chou Chou from the ground. "Can you stay at home for a few days this time?"
"Half a month."
"So long?"
"Yeah. I used to save up a lot of vacation days."
"Then you should stay home and spend more time with your grandparents and your mother."
"good."
Han Bin bounced Chou Chou around in his arms. "Do you want to go inside with Grandpa or play with your uncle here?"
"Come inside with Grandpa."
After Han Bin carried Chou Chou into the house, Tengteng went to the kitchen to help his sister and brother cook.
Han Bin wanted to go back inside to change into his pajamas. But as soon as he entered, he saw Xiaoman sitting in a chair with a frown. "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
"Tengteng brought a woman home today..." Xiaoman recounted the story of Tengteng and Qiao Xiuli. "Youyou found someone like that, and now Tengteng is here too... Tell me, aren't we failing in our parenting?"
Han Bin put Chou Chou on the ground. "Go play with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Your maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother can talk for a while."
"good."
After Chou Chou left, Han Bin said while changing into his pajamas, "You know what, Tengteng and Youyou's situation really does have something to do with us."
Xiaoman looked at Han Bin and asked, "Where did we go wrong?"
"It can't be said to be wrong."
"What else could it be but a mistake?"
“Yes… um…” Han Bin thought for a moment: “You see, in your past life you were both a war god and a prince. Besides fighting, you also had to make the empress trust you. If the empress didn’t trust you, then no matter how many merits you had, you wouldn’t have a good end.”
Han Bin changed his clothes and sat down next to Xiaoman: "Many military generals in history did not die on the battlefield, but died because of the emperor's suspicion. I guess you must have spent a lot of time and effort on the empress in your past life."
"Um."
"We have to fight a war, and we also have to be wary of the Empress." Han Bin looked at Xiaoman and said, "You didn't put much thought into romantic relationships in your past life, did you?"
"Yes. My father chose both my principal husband and my concubine."
Han Bin hugged Xiaoman and bit her neck: "You have a concubine?"
Xiaoman touched Han Bin's face: "Are you jealous?"
Han Bin bit Xiaoman's neck again. "If we could marry multiple husbands here, would you still marry multiple husbands like you did in your past life?"
"Um."
Han Bin stood up abruptly: "Wang Xiaoman, you...you...you can forget about it! Wang Xiaoman, let me tell you, if you dare to like someone else, I...I'll shoot him."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "It seems like we're talking about Tengteng and Youyou right now."
"Uh... their matter isn't urgent. Wang Xiaoman, are you trying to change the subject? Wang..."
Before Han Bin could finish speaking, Xiao Man pulled him down and kissed him on the lips. Han Bin immediately hugged Xiao Man tightly.
Several minutes later, Xiaoman nudged Hanbin, and Hanbin kissed her again before letting go. "You are only allowed to love me in this lifetime."
Xiaoman smiled. "Okay."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then why did you just say that if the law allowed it, you would still take a concubine like you did in your past life?"
Xiaoman patted Han Bin on the back: "We've been together for so many years, how come you still have so little confidence?"
Han Bin kissed Xiaoman on the cheek. "You're so wonderful and so young, of course I'm worried about you."
Xiaoman smiled. "Still young? If Naonao and Tengteng had married early, our grandson would already be in elementary school."
"Of course. You forgot? The other day when we took Chou Chou out to play, everyone thought you were Chou Chou's mother." Han Bin was both happy and annoyed about this. He was happy that Xiao Man looked so young, which meant she was in good health. He was annoyed because when he and Xiao Man went out, people thought he was an old man dating a young woman.
Xiaoman cupped Han Bin's face in her hands and looked at him. "You've aged a bit, but you've become even more charming."
Han Bin's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"
"Um."
"So, do you like me more than before?"
"Um."
"Let's go out and have some fun when I'm resting. Just the two of us."
"Um."
"Let's take a shower together tonight."
"good."
"That……"
Xiaoman pinched Han Bin's lips with her fingers: "Have you forgotten? We were talking about Tengteng and Youyou."
"Well……"
Xiaoman pinched Han Bin's cheek. "Let's talk about Naonao and Youyou first."
Han Bin nodded.
Xiaoman let go of her hand.
Han Bin: Where were we?
Xiaoman glared at Han Bin. "Speaking of my past life, both my legal husband and my concubine were chosen for me by my father."
"Oh." Han Bin sat down next to Xiaoman and put his arm around her waist: "Look, you never dated in your past life. In this life, I'm the one who pursued you."
Xiaoman thought about her relationship with Zhang Jun. "I guess you could say Zhang Jun and I dated?"
"How can that be considered dating? You just think he resembles a man from your matriarchal society, so you want to be with him. That's not dating. At most... well... at most, it's just meeting an old friend in a foreign land."
Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin: "You're quite good at positioning us."
Han Bin smiled. "If you really couldn't live without him, you would have killed me back when I was pressuring you."
Xiaoman's lips curled up slightly. "You mean, I'm too indifferent to romantic relationships, so the children have been affected without realizing it?"
Han Bin nodded. "You've raised the children very well. But nobody's perfect, and the children are with you every day, so they're bound to be influenced by you. And I'm in the army all day, and when I come back, I'm always around you and our daughter. So, Tengteng and Youyou's behavior is indeed related to the two of us."
Xiaoman frowned. "What do we do now?"
"Let me think about it."
After a while, Han Bin said, "I've thought of a way. But it's a bit unorthodox."
