Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes narrowed slightly, a fleeting sharpness flickering in them. "What do you think I would say?"
"You wouldn’t have really told her that we’re married, would you?"
Just thinking about this made Song Song’s little heart thump non-stop. She could already imagine the scene if Ms. Song found out; she’d likely come at someone with a knife.
That fiery temper is definitely capable of it.
Xiao Jinghuai glanced at the girl’s worried and fearful face and coldly said, "No."
Song Song finally felt her heart settle down. She patted her chest and said, "Good thing you didn’t, I was really scared just now."
"Why are you afraid of her knowing?" Xiao Jinghuai crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa.
"Because..." Song Song pursed her lips, a bit hesitant to speak, "because I’m afraid she’ll be shocked. Right now the most important thing is her emotions. I... I hope she can always stay by my side and not leave me."
As she spoke, the girl’s eyes reddened slightly, "Uncle..."
Xiao Jinghuai focused his gaze, "What?"
"That slap, I apologize on behalf of my mom. If you’re still mad, you can slap me too, just as a..."
Before she could finish, the man abruptly got up from the sofa and turned to leave the hall.
Song Song was so shocked she was stunned, immediately taking off to chase after him, shouting from behind, "Uncle, why did you suddenly just... if you’re really mad, then..."
"Shut up!"
The man suddenly turned, almost wanting to spank her right then and there, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. The only thing he wanted to do now was to fiercely shut that chattering little mouth.
When the man’s lips descended upon her, Song Song was instantly dumbfounded, her mind going completely blank, with nothing inside.
"Dad, Little Song, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a tender child’s voice interrupted everything, causing Xiao Jinghuai to release the girl.
He glanced at the little one rubbing his eyes, wearing cartoon pajamas and holding a small teddy bear, and the heat in his heart subsided quite a bit.
With a stern face, he said, "She’s too noisy."
Having said that, he turned and left without looking back.
Originally, Xiao Beibei was a bit angry, but upon hearing this reason, he pouted and walked to Song Song’s side.
Reaching out his small hand, he tugged at her clothes, "Little Song, you should change your talkative habit, or I’ll start doing the same in the future!"
Song Song remained frozen in place, unable to respond at all...
She only felt that her lips were now very hot, as if still carrying the cool yet pleasant scent from the man, unexpectedly intoxicating.
"Little Song, why are you blushing?"
"Ah!" Song Song immediately snapped back, holding her face in her small hands, "Am I?"
Ugh! Indeed, the temperature on her face felt like a fever, unbearably hot.
"Well, well..."
How was she going to explain this?
Xiao Beibei sighed, "Forget it, seeing you, I know you can’t answer. Come, behave and go to sleep with me!"
Song Song was at a loss, her mind in a complete mess, lacking any direction.
She gently replied "Oh" and followed Bao Bei back to the children’s room.
That night, the two little ones in the children’s room slept very soundly, without a single dream.
But a certain someone spent the whole night in the study handling work matters, only coming out at dawn to wash up in the master bedroom, change into clean clothes, and head downstairs.
Just as he reached the stairs, he heard the joyful laughter of one big and one small person.
"Little Song, I’m here, come catch me!"
"..."
Xiao Jinghuai was puzzled as he walked downstairs, only to be suddenly embraced by a small figure...
