After Xie Jingchen left, Yan Jinsu almost got confused understanding her husband’s unfinished words.
Fortunately, right after that, the twins woke up. She then devoted herself to soothing them and completely forgot what her husband had said.
Therefore, when Xie Jingchen returned home after 2 a.m., what he saw was his little wife breastfeeding again,
and his face immediately darkened.
Jiang Xiaoying, who was a bit dazed from sleep and had just woken up to look after the twins, was still confused, but seeing her employer’s unhappy expression, she understood.
Seeing that Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi had finished their milk, she didn’t need anyone to tell her what to do. She immediately took the baby basket away.
This situation wasn’t new; ever since Ni had completed her month of confinement, almost every time her employer came back, he would have the twins moved out of the room.
Jiang Xiaoying was used to it by now. As soon as Xie Jingchen returned, she truly became the nanny.
"Uh, husband, you’re back. Are you tired? You should wash up and go to sleep early..."
Yan Jinsu, upon seeing her husband return, continued her task at hand in a daze, her tone sounding as if she was talking in her sleep.
Yan Jinsu had breastfed halfway and slept with the twins for about two hours, and it wasn’t nearly enough—
You see, she had been threatened and kidnapped twice in succession, and in between, she barely had any rest, plus with all the anxiety. Now back in the comfort of her own bed, all she wanted to do was sleep.
At this time, she didn’t even open her eyes. Hearing the babies cry, she just habitually wiped away, held Bao’er and started breastfeeding, oblivious to her husband’s mood.
Truth be told, Jiang Xiaoying didn’t know either.
But, this didn’t stop Jiang Xiaoying from quickly becoming alert, deftly taking the sleeping basket and retreating swiftly.
"Xiaojiu, Xiao Shi, don’t cry, the meal will start soon."
Yan Jinsu handed two bottles to Jiang Xiaoying and held Xiao Shi herself, indicating Jiang Xiaoying to feed him following her actions.
Jiang Xiaoying was actually seeing this bottle for the first time, but since it was made of glass, she didn’t find it particularly ’trendy’, just that it was quite good to use.
The twins were sleeping hazily, felt something strange in their mouths, but sensing their mom nearby, they didn’t even open their eyelids; they just suckled continuously, finishing more than half a bottle of milk in just over five minutes.
Of course, the little ones then fell asleep again.
Yan Jinsu didn’t say another word and took the bottles back to the room.
Jiang Xiaoying didn’t find it strange; she knew that Ni liked to personally boil and sterilize the twins’ eating utensils and such.
Yan Jinsu was holding her waist as she went back to her room; upon returning, seeing her husband sprawled out asleep in a spread-eagle position, it was evident that like herself, he had not rested well these days.
Xie Jingchen was even more tired than Yan Jinsu because even before, he hadn’t slept well for almost half a month - he had many tasks because of the martial arts tournaments, routine military training in the Rong Army, followed by the couple facing dangers, then he had just made a significant achievement, and then Yan Jinsu was kidnapped. Essentially, he hadn’t rested well for nearly a month.
If it weren’t for him practicing the method of refining spiritual power given to him by Yan Jinsu, he definitely couldn’t have managed to hold up so energetically until now.
Yan Jinsu was truly exhausted; it was just after 5 a.m., not even 6 a.m., and thinking that as soon as daylight broke, members of the military might come to summon her and her husband!
Yan Jinsu didn’t have time to be angry or petulant with her husband. She directly plunged into his open arms; Xie Jingchen’s eyebrows raised, and without even opening his eyes, he took her in his arms and affectionately kissed her tender cheek, murmuring, "Wife, no more fussing, let’s sleep."
Upon hearing that, Yan Jinsu also felt heartache for her husband’s exhaustion and made a light "hum." The couple then instantly fell back into sleep.
