Chapter 506: Family(3)
Luna poked her son’s cheek and he giggled, making her heart melt into a puddle. She stood to hug her husband. She wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed his cheek as she whispered, "I need to resume work soon, my love."
Xingyu held her into his arms for a while and pressed pecks on her face. She looked more beautiful than ever, and she smelled even sweeter than ever now that her flowery scent was mixed with that of the babies. He couldn’t help pulling her into a deeper hug, as though he wanted them to mould into one. He was just about to kiss her when Xiaomu stirred and whined, and he paused in his movements and picked her up. She seemed to recognize her father because she stopped crying as soon as he held her and smiled at her, kissing her forehead.
He cradled the little girl as he raised an eyebrow at her statement that he remembered long after she had said it. "It’s still too soon. You should stay at home and rest some more. Do not rush to overwork yourself."
"I will not be overworking." She knew he was probably worried about what he had read in all the books and articles he had been reading to research on pregnancy and childbirth, about women needing to take a break and rest for long after having their babies. He was worried for nothing, because it had taken only a few days for her to be able to move around as usual. "It’s already been two months." She added.
Her babies were growing fast and although she wanted to stay with them as much as possible, she knew that she couldn’t turn into a lazy bum and stay at home all day.
"Nope." He retorted against her idea, thinking that she could stay at home as much as she wanted. "Honey, please take your time. I can provide for the family, and we can still live luxuriously. Don’t feel pressured to give me a hand because it has never been hard on me."
She laughed at his response, enjoying the sight of him making funny faces at Xiaomu who blabbered in response. "Are you sure you don’t just want me home?"
"I just want you in my bed. What will I do?" He teased her shamelessly.
"Have me." She offered herself with a teasing smile, and her grin set his body ablaze. He gently placed Xiaomu back in her crib but just as he pulled away to hug Luna, Xiaomu let out a cry.
