Su Yixing was playing with the white jade and pure gold longevity lock when she saw both Su Yi Jing and An Yiqing rolling over to Xiao Changyi’s side, whether to join the fun or not, Su Yixing also stopped playing with the jade and longevity lock, lay down on the bed, and then cheerfully rolled toward Xiao Changyi.
Then, Su Yixing also grabbed Xiao Changyi’s trouser legs with her two little hands, looked up with her little face, and smiled happily at Xiao Changyi.
At his feet, three little children were all looking up at him and smiling at him, and although Xiao Changyi was expressionless, his cold, hard heart was incredibly soft at this moment.
An Jing, watching this scene, pretended to be angry and said, "Well, Jing’er, Star, and Qinger only like you, their father, and not at all their mother. Look, they all roll over to your side, and not to mine."
At this moment, An Jing was sitting not far across from Xiao Changyi.
It could be said that An Jing was sitting at the head of the bed while Xiao Changyi was sitting at the foot of the bed; and the reason for this seating arrangement was entirely to look after the children on the bed and also to give the children plenty of room to play and entertain themselves.
Without waiting for Xiao Changyi to speak, An Jing laughed again and said, "At least our Yun Er is good, staying quietly in her mother’s arms."
As An Jing spoke, she looked down and then noticed that An Yiyun in her arms was staring brightly in the direction of Xiao Changyi, looking like she also wanted to go over there.
"My dear husband..." An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi with a hint of grievance, "Before, you were worried that the children would cling to me, but now, I’m a little afraid that the kids will all cling to you instead?"
Xiao Changyi was not particularly concerned, "It’s okay, even if they cling to me, my affection for you will only ever increase, never decrease because of this."
An Jing’s heart instantly overflowed with sweetness, and she said with a beaming smile, "They can’t understand now, so just say these things to cheer me up. But when they grow up and can understand, you shouldn’t say this in front of them. If they hear it, they will definitely be sad. They are our children; you have to take their feelings into consideration. Otherwise, I will be unhappy too, understand?"
Seeing Xiao Changyi agreeing, An Jing was even happier. Then, she remembered something, "Right, my husband, didn’t you say you wanted to make wooden horses for the children to play with? Although they’re still young now, they’ll eventually need them. Have you thought about when you’re going to make them?"
"Tomorrow, Meng Lanqing has already had the wood delivered; it can be done at any time."
"Mhm, I’ll watch the children in the yard tomorrow, and you can make wooden horses for them in the yard."
The next day, Xiao Changyi was in the yard making wooden horses for his four children.
An Jing had suggested Xiao Changyi make one, for the four children to take turns playing with it, but Xiao Changyi didn’t mind the trouble and planned to make four, one for each child, so they wouldn’t have to take turns.
As soon as An Jing heard Xiao Changyi wanted to make four, which were for the children and a gesture of his heart, how could she possibly object? She immediately agreed with delight.
It took Xiao Changyi three days just to finish making one wooden horse.
That day, while Xiao Changyi was making the second wooden horse in the yard, Shi Xiaolan knocked at the gate, and Meng Zhuqing opened it to find not only Shi Xiaolan had come but Wu Xiaoshan had come along as well.
Moreover, Shi Xiaolan was leading Niuniu by the hand, and Wu Xiaoshan was leading Yu Yu.
