Two Rooms, How Were They Supposed to Sleep?

Mmm~

Yan Bingxue opened her little mouth and bit into the piece of lamb at the tip of the skewer. With one gentle bite, the flavor of the barbecue lingered on her taste buds.

The outer layer was lightly crisp from grilling, while the inside was tender and juicy. It really tasted quite good.

Yan Bingxue's eyes brightened. Seeing that, Su Chen proudly raised his brows and said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you, did I? Don't be fooled by the fact that this place is on a snack street. It tastes even better than the food at those big hotels!"

"Mm, it is quite good. A chef like that is somewhat wasted in a place like this." Yan Bingxue glanced at the barbecue chef over there before turning back and speaking calmly.

Now, only Lele had not eaten any yet. Mama had tasted it, and Mama said it was delicious. So should he try it or not?

The little boy stared blankly at the barbecue in front of him. His small mouth was slightly open, and a glistening bead of drool hung at the corner of his lips, barely holding on.

Su Chen found his son rather amusing. He wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to admit it. Why would a grown man worry about that?

With a lift of his hand, he directly put the skewer in his son's mouth.

Lele was caught completely off guard. His slightly parted lips were filled with grilled meat. He was reluctant to spit it out because of the fragrant flavor that had just entered his mouth, yet swallowing it felt like betraying the look of disdain he had worn for so long...

Tuantuan took a bite of meat at that moment and deliberately showed off her little baby teeth as she chewed in front of her brother. "Hehe~ It's super yummy!"

"Try it already!"

She tugged at the wooden skewer Su Chen had placed there, and all the meat slid into Lele's mouth.

Seeing Lele's cheeks puffing in and out as he ate the grilled meat, Tuantuan immediately laughed until her eyes curved into crescents.

Seeing this, Su Chen pushed the plate toward the three of them and said with a smile, "Eat more. I ordered a lot. Once you finish this, there are still two more plates coming later!"

Yan Bingxue nodded, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifting slightly.

Just then, her phone chimed with a WeChat message.

It was from Gu Yuxin.

Gu Yuxin: "Xue'er, sweetheart, what are you doing? Where did you go to celebrate after getting your marriage certificate? You're ignoring me now, boohoo~"

Yan Bingxue had not said much to her after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau. Too many things had happened tonight, all of them too incredible. She had not even recovered from the enormous surprise herself, and she did not know how to tell Gu Yuxin about it.

When Gu Yuxin sent another message to ask, Yan Bingxue simply took another photo. The photo showed the tempting barbecue on the table, with Su Chen's well-defined hand visible in the corner.

Gu Yuxin: "This is... barbecue? And it's even on a roadside stall table! Xue'er, sweetheart, you actually went to eat barbecue at a roadside stall for Su Chen! Is this the power of love?!"

Yan Bingxue: "It tastes good here. It's on the snack street near Su Chen's university. I'll bring you here next time."

Gu Yuxin: "!!! When I asked you to go with me to those little hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the alley, you refused. But one word from Su Chen, and you went to a roadside stall on a snack street with him! Sweetheart, where are your principles and your cleanliness obsession? Do you have none of that at all when it comes to Su Chen?! Boohoo!"

Yan Bingxue: "Mm."

"His confident and sincere gaze moved me, and the food here really is amazing. Su Chen has very good taste!"

Gu Yuxin: "...Sweetheart, I just love how blunt and cold you are!"

Gu Yuxin nearly coughed up blood on the other end of the phone, but what could she do? She had chosen this best friend herself, so she had to spoil her herself!

The barbecue meal lasted nearly two hours. After paying the bill, Su Chen brought Yan Bingxue and the two children back to the residential complex.

It was just the time for people to come out and enjoy the cool evening air. The complex Su Chen rented in was rather old, and many elderly people lived there. Every night, the uncles and aunties liked to sit in the exercise area by the entrance, fanning themselves with large palm-leaf fans as they chatted and cooled off.

When they suddenly saw a new car drive in, the elderly residents immediately began discussing it.

"Oh? Whose family bought a new car? It looks really nice!"

"Old Li, you don't know cars, do you? That's a luxury car, a Rolls-Royce. Even the cheapest one costs over six million! This one clearly isn't the most basic model, so it must be even more expensive. Maybe tens of millions!"

"What? A car worth tens of millions drove into our complex? Old Sun, I think you've gone senile!"

"Hey! You don't believe me? Then let's go take a look for ourselves! My son told me all sorts of things about cars before. I'm sure that's a Rolls-Royce!"

"You two old men, stop arguing. Let's go over and see whose relative is driving such a nice car!"

The elderly residents eagerly got to their feet and followed behind the Rolls-Royce.

The car parked in a space in front of the building, and Su Chen got out.

At that moment, the elderly residents came over as well.

Among them was Auntie Lin, Su Chen's neighbor. The moment she saw him, she cried out in surprise, "Little Su?"

Su Chen had moved in over a month ago. Auntie Lin lived across from him, so they saw each other often. She was warm and friendly, frequently giving neighbors vegetables she grew herself. Su Chen did not cook, so he had never accepted the vegetables, but he had accepted fruit from her.

"Auntie Lin, you're out enjoying the cool air?"

"Yes! Little Su, this car of yours is..." Auntie Lin asked curiously.

"Auntie, I just picked up this car. Also, this parking space seems to belong to my unit, right? I usually don't see anyone using it, so I parked here directly."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Auntie Lin said excitedly. "This is your unit's parking space. Little Su, I never expected you to buy a car when you're just about to graduate from university! What kind of car is this? Old Sun said it was something called a Rolls something, and that it's very expensive!"

"It's a Rolls-Royce. I got it for 170 million," Su Chen said.

The elderly residents behind her were so shocked that they wondered if they had heard wrong.

170 million for a car?

With 170 million, buying this entire old residential complex probably would not be a problem!

Young people these days really had trendy ideas—renting an apartment in an old complex while buying a luxury car worth 170 million!

"Little Su, you're incredible! With such an expensive car, I feel like our whole complex has instantly gone up in value!"

"This car is amazing! It's even better than the ones my son showed me before! Little Su, can I take a photo? I want to show my son!"

"Of course. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he went to open the front passenger door and let Yan Bingxue, who had been blocked from view by Auntie Lin, get out. Then he carried Tuantuan and Lele down from the back seat.

When the elderly residents saw the three of them, their faces were full of questions.

"Little Su, who are this beautiful young lady and these two adorable children?"

"Auntie, this is my wife, Yan Bingxue. These are my son and daughter, Dragon-Phoenix twins—Lele and Tuantuan."

The elderly residents were stunned.

"Little Su, you're married?!"

"You have such a beautiful wife, Little Su. You're truly blessed!"

"And you even have such an adorable pair of twins, Dragon-Phoenix twins at that! Little Su, you and your wife really know how to have children! Look at these two little treasures—how cute they are!"

"Little Su, I never expected you to already be married with children and own such an expensive car. Since you live in our complex, we old folks will have something to brag about from now on!"

Hearing those words, Su Chen looked at Yan Bingxue beside him, who was pursing her lips with a touch of shyness, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise into a broad smile.

"Everyone, it's getting late today, and the children are sleepy. I'll take them upstairs first. Another day, I'll buy some candy and treat everyone to wedding sweets!"

They had gotten their marriage certificate in such a rush today that Su Chen had not prepared anything like that.

Besides, at such an important time, he naturally would not leave his wife and children behind to go buy candy!

"Alright, alright, hurry upstairs!"

Su Chen carried Tuantuan in one arm and held Yan Bingxue's hand with the other. Lele followed behind his mother, and the family of four went upstairs together.

After pushing open the door, Yan Bingxue stood in the entryway and looked inside.

Mm~ The place seemed pretty nice.

Although the apartment was not large, its decor was neat, and everything inside was spotlessly tidy. There was even a bouquet of fresh lilies in the vase by the door.

She had not expected Su Chen to be someone who knew how to live well!

A small stuffed toy on the sofa immediately caught Tuantuan's attention.

The little girl dashed over and hugged the pink bunny, unable to put it down. "Daddy~ Bunny~ Tuantuan likes pink bunnies the most~"

"Really? Daddy won this from a claw machine with his roommates last time. Since Tuantuan likes it, Daddy will give it to Tuantuan!"

Yan Bingxue took a look and saw that the bunny's tag was still attached. There was no price on it, and it really did look as if it had been won directly from a claw machine and never touched afterward.

But Su Chen actually went to claw machines too? With his roommates... they should all have been boys, right?

If he had gone with girls, this bunny should have been given away already!

Yes, they definitely had been boys!

Who said boys could not play claw machines?

She imagined Su Chen standing in front of a claw machine with several grown men, looking anxious when he failed to win anything, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.

"Mother of my children, my little apartment definitely isn't as big as your home. There are only two rooms in total. The master bedroom has a double bed, and there's also a guest room with bunk beds. It's definitely enough for our family to stay here!"

It was enough, but how were they supposed to sleep?

Yan Bingxue looked at the two bedrooms and blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes a few times. A faint blush spread across her cool, elegant face.
