As a certain someone took his leave with puffs of air were coming out of his nostrils, the two in the backyard continued their talk.
"Thank you so much for your consideration." Luo Xiaolei then said, smiling at him with all the gratitude she couldn't put into words. After all, she really didn't know where she could hide for now that her family would surely want to drag her back.
When Yu Chen simply replied the words "no problem", Luo Xiaolei looked at the twins again. She was waiting for Yu Chen to ask about the twins but it looked like he didn't have the intention to ask about anything anymore. The man went silent as he too returned his gaze towards the twins. Could it be that he was not interested? Or was he waiting for her to explain? Or could it be that he already knew?
In the end, Luo Xiaolei thought that the reason why Yu Chen wasn't asking was the latter. After all, he was Yu Chen, the youngest tycoon whose name was feared by everyone. It wouldn't even make sense if he knew nothing about the woman whom he let inside his house. In fact, she wouldn't even be surprised if the man knew every bit of information about her.
Realizing this, Luo Xiaolei didn't attempt to explain about the twins anymore and spoke about their current situation instead.
"Uhm… about the bedroom. Are you sure you want to sleep with us? I mean… you might find it hard, sleeping with the kids since I know you are not used to it." Luo Xiaolei said. She actually wanted to tell him that it'd be better if the three of them had separate beds since the room was huge enough to have another bed inside it.
However, what Yu Chen replied made her choke.
"You want the twins to have their own bedroom?"
"Cough, cough… no, no. What I mean is if you find it uncomfortable, maybe we, me and the kids, will sleep on a different bed to you."
"It's okay. I won't have a problem with the three of you."
". . ."
Somehow, Luo Xiaolei really was puzzled with this man. She thought he was someone strict and severe especially during those times when he was sternly refusing her proposal but now… it looked like he won't even say a single 'no' anymore?! Why was he simply agreeing like this? Devil, are you a thousand year old unanswered equation? Why are so hard to figure out!?
"A-are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Have you experienced sleeping with kids before?"
"Since I was a teen, I never slept with anyone else."
". . ."
Luo Xiaolei was again befuddled. T-this Yu Chen… did he really never sleep with anyone else? S-seriously?!! I mean… are you serious?!!
What Yu Chen said was such a huge shock to Luo Xiaolei. Sure, she knew about the rumors always circulating about him - that he disliked women - but now that he was saying things like this himself, it was just too much to believe.
"You mean… never?! Not even with men---" Luo Xiaolei quickly covered her mouth with her hands as she gasped. Gosh Xiaolei! What the hell are you spouting?!! Do you want to die?!
