Chapter 911 - 869: Blessings Earned Over Lifetimes
When Xing Chen came back from Xiahou Chunyi’s place, the two little guys were already asleep.
Ran Xiangsi had also taken a shower and was wandering around the garden out of boredom.
She was still thinking about what Uncle Kang had said during the day.
He wanted her to give it some good thought and figure out how she should persuade Xing Chen to agree to let her go on this adventure.
As for going to rescue her master, Ran Xiangsi felt it was something she was duty-bound to do.
But... she didn’t want Xing Chen to worry about her.
After what happened last night, she already felt very sorry.
If it happened again, she was really afraid that one day Xing Chen would get tired of her.
Thinking about all this, she strolled along at a leisurely pace.
Before long, she heard the sound of the iron gate opening, followed by the sound of a car pulling in.
Then came a set of steady, powerful footsteps.
Right after that, she heard a brief exchange.
"Where’s the Young Madam?"
"Young Master, the Young Madam just coaxed the two young masters to sleep. She’s taking a walk in the courtyard now."
A moment later, sure enough, she saw Xing Chen in a dark blue double-breasted trench coat striding over on his long legs.
Ran Xiangsi clasped her hands behind her back and carefully sized up the man walking toward her.
She still remembered that five years ago, at the gate of A University, he had walked up to her just like this, impeccably dressed, stepping through a field of sunlight.
Five years later, he was still just as handsome, now stepping through a field of moonlight as he walked toward her, and he still made her heart skip a beat...
From a distance, Xing Chen could already see Ran Xiangsi squinting at him, clearly knowing that her little head must be off wandering in some parallel universe again. As he walked up, he reached out a finger, bent it slightly, and tapped it against her forehead.
"What are you thinking about now?"
"Ow..." Ran Xiangsi pouted, rubbing her poor forehead, and followed Xing Chen to sit down on the stone bench off to the side. "Did you get everything settled? Big Brother wasn’t mad, was he?"
Ran Xiangsi knew very well in her heart how important that list was.
And it was exactly because of that that she felt even more touched.
Even though she’d taken something so important, Xing Chen still trusted her completely, just like always.
To have a man who loved her this much in this lifetime really was a blessing she must have accumulated over several lifetimes.
"It’s fine." Xing Chen answered simply. Naturally, there was no way he would tell Ran Xiangsi just how much effort he’d spent to get Xiahou Chunyi to give him two more days.
Luckily, he’d only needed one day to bring her back safe and sound.
Thinking that, Xing Chen lifted his gaze toward the third floor. "The kids are asleep?"
"Yeah. They fell asleep after listening to a story." Ran Xiangsi frowned as she spoke. "Little Yuan has to listen to a story every night before bed. So what stories do you tell him?"
Ran Xiangsi was just too naive...
Xing Chen, known for being cold-blooded, might be a bit gentler with his own sons, but not gentle enough to change his basic nature.
Storytelling? No way he’d do that.
When Xing Chen was alone with his two sons, the situation usually went like this—
Little Yuan: "Daddy, I want to hear a story..."
Xing Chen: "I don’t know any."
Little Yuan: "But if I don’t hear a story, I can’t fall asleep..."
Xing Chen: "Close your eyes and you’ll fall asleep."
Little Yuan: "Daddy... just one, okay?"
Xing Chen: "If you don’t sleep, get up and go for a run."
Little Yuan: "..." He quietly bit his blanket, eyes brimming with tears. He wanted his mommy...
Little Ye, on the other hand, kept his eyes obediently shut the whole time.
See, the little brother really was too young, too simple. With a dad this straight-laced and by-the-book, how could he possibly tell such silly stories?
Better to just be good and go to sleep!
