"If you feel that the children prevent us from spending as much time alone together," An Jing continued, "then when the children get a bit older, we can make a separate room for them to stay in. If they’re not in the same room as us, we should have much more alone time. What do you think?"
Although his wife so desired the children to stay close by, Xiao Changyi had always understood deep down that his wish to leave the children with the Emperor of Xiyun to bring up would never come to fruition, simply because he wouldn’t allow his wife to be unhappy.
So, as soon as An Jing asked if he agreed, Xiao Changyi nodded his head and replied, "Mm."
"Thank you, dear," An Jing was delighted with Xiao Changyi’s compromise and concession. She knew that all of her husband’s compromises and concessions were just for her.
Having grown up lonely and unsupported, her husband tended to be somewhat cold and indifferent, and he was not versed in the ways of the world or in considering others’ feelings, but it was this very man who always took care of her moods, pampering her, loving her, protecting her.
With such a husband by her side, she had no more wishes in this life!
Xiao Changyi said nothing, but wrapped an arm around An Jing’s shoulders, resting his forehead against hers. He rubbed it gently first, then feeling that it wasn’t enough, kissed her on the lips.
An Jing had intended to respond to Xiao Changyi with a smile, but from the corner of her eye, she noticed that all four children had somehow turned over and were now lying on their bellies on the bed, and all four pairs of little eyes were curiously watching her and her husband, as if wondering what they were doing.
All four children were really so tiny, so tiny, and now all in the same position, An Jing was instantly amused to no end. She pushed her husband away and said, "Dear, come look at Jing’er and the others, look at them, hahaha..."
An Jing could barely catch her breath from laughing. Her four children were just too adorable.
Xiao Changyi had not noticed at first, but as soon as he saw his four children staring straight at him and his wife, he was like: "..."
"Hahaha..." An Jing laughed for a good while before stopping. "Dear, do you think, in the future, we need to be more mindful and not behave in front of the children? As they grow older day by day, this might not be a good influence on them, don’t you think? Look at them now... hahaha..."
As she spoke, An Jing couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.
In his heart, Xiao Changyi felt a renewed urge to send the four children to the Emperor of Xiyun to raise.
"Jing’er was struggling to sit up, but then... hahaha... he gave up and turned over, staring at us both with so much interest, hahaha... Our children are really too funny, too hilarious, hahaha..." An Jing said, laughing as she spoke.
Perhaps it was An Jing’s laughter that was infectious, Su Yi Jing, Su Yixing, An Yiqing, and An Yiyun all stretched their mouths into smiles, looking at An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
Especially little An Yiqing, his tiny mouth stretched the widest, giggling like the Maitreya Buddha, and even drooling with laughter.
When Xiao Changyi saw this, he couldn’t be bothered to be upset with his four sons for interrupting his intimate moment, and quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the drool from An Yiqing’s mouth.
"Dear, did you hear what I was saying?" An Jing asked Xiao Changyi with a laugh when she saw he hadn’t spoken.
Xiao Changyi said, "What did you say?"
"I said that in the future we need to be mindful of the impression we’re giving. We can’t just kiss freely anymore, especially in front of the children."
Xiao Changyi said, "I didn’t hear."
Immediately afterward, An Jing burst into laughter again: "Hahaha, dear, you’re going to laugh me to death! Hahaha..."
