Mommy, What Are You Doing?

Su's Mother nodded along. "Yeah, I checked a while ago. We've saved a little over six hundred thousand over the years. The wedding and bride price will definitely cost money, and housing in Zhonghai is so expensive. I'm afraid our savings aren't even enough for a down payment..."

Su's Mother had a headache. She glanced at Su's Father and asked tentatively, "Actually, the one million on that other card isn't completely untouchable..."

"Untouchable! Honey, we've endured for so many years—we absolutely can't give up now! We'll think of another way to handle our son's house. If we have to, we'll sell this place and scrape together a down payment for him. The two of us can still get around just fine. Renting a place won't be a problem."

Su's Mother nodded and smiled. "You're right. We won't touch that money. Our son is so promising now; he'll definitely live a good life in the future. We'll just do our best to prepare things for him and our daughter-in-law!"

"But our son said he'll only bring our daughter-in-law and grandchildren back after he finishes dealing with graduation. Doesn't that mean more than half a month? Old Su, I can't hold out that long. I want to see my daughter-in-law and the two children right now!" Su's Mother said excitedly.

Su's Father took a sip of wine, his eyes full of excitement.

"Half a month is indeed a little too long. It would've been one thing if we didn't know, but now that we do, how can we wait that long?"

Seeing there was hope, Su's Mother immediately said, "Why don't we go over tomorrow? Our son gave us such a huge surprise, so let's give him one too~"

Su's Father smiled and took out his phone. "All right, I'll buy the tickets now!"

By the time Yan Bingxue returned, Su Chen had already hung up the phone. He gave up the spot where he had just been lying and patted it. "Come sleep. The bed's already warm."

Yan Bingxue paused slightly, then smiled and walked over. As she lay down, she found the sheets really were warm, at just the right temperature. The pillow still carried Su Chen's scent, along with the faint minty fragrance of his shampoo.

They were both exhausted that day and fell asleep soon after lying down, sleeping dreamlessly through the night.

The next morning, Yan Bingxue woke up and opened her eyes, only to suddenly discover that she was lying in Su Chen's arms.

She was startled. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes flew wide open, and her body stiffened involuntarily.

What was going on? When they had gone to sleep last night, she and Su Chen had each been on one side of the bed. Why had she woken up with her head resting on his arm, lying in his embrace?

Su Chen's other hand was resting on her waist. They were face-to-face, and the distance between them was far too close!

After her initial shock, Yan Bingxue was suddenly drawn in by Su Chen's sleeping face.

Her man was so handsome.

The corners of Yan Bingxue's lips rose involuntarily, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks.

What a beautiful morning.

I hope I can wake up in Su Chen's arms every day~

Su Chen had his eyes closed and seemed not to be awake yet, so Yan Bingxue boldly studied his handsome features.

How could someone be so good-looking? His brows, eyes, nose, and lips—every feature seemed to have grown exactly to her taste.

Over the past three years, she had watched Lele gradually grow up, watched him slowly become the image she loved most in her mind, and her longing for Su Chen had only grown stronger.

At last, Su Chen had graduated, and the first thing she wanted to do was recruit him into her company!

The one nearest the water got the moon first. Su Chen had come of age, and she wanted to make him her man at the first opportunity so their family could be reunited.

Now, fifty percent of her plan had already succeeded. The remaining fifty percent was to make Su Chen fall completely in love with her. Then they could become a happy family of four!

Thinking of this, Yan Bingxue could not help feeling sweet inside.

She stared unblinkingly at Su Chen. With such an intense gaze, if Su Chen still did not wake up, he might as well have been dead asleep.

Su Chen had woken up, but he did not open his eyes immediately. He knew Yan Bingxue was secretly looking at him.

This little girl was so easily embarrassed during the day. If anything happened, she would immediately hide away. Yet now that he was asleep, she was rather bold, daring to stare at him like this.

Yan Bingxue was even bolder than Su Chen had imagined.

She looked at Su Chen's thick eyebrows and his long, dense eyelashes, like two curled little fans that held an inexplicable attraction.

Yan Bingxue lightly bit her soft lips and cautiously began to move beneath the covers.

She slowly raised her hand. One of her arms was pinned beneath herself, while the other was trapped beneath Su Chen's arm, making neither easy to move.

The arm beneath her could not move, so she could only use the hand under Su Chen's arm. To avoid waking him, Yan Bingxue moved exceptionally slowly and carefully.

Su Chen felt the furtive movement beneath his hand. He was both amused and curious, wanting to see what this girl intended to do, so he simply continued pretending to sleep.

When Yan Bingxue finally pulled her hand out from under the blanket, she could not help letting out a soft breath.

Her warm breath brushed his face, carrying the faint fragrance of a woman.

This was really killing him so early in the morning!

Yan Bingxue did not notice how inadvertently alluring she was. She was still cautiously trying to touch Su Chen's eyelashes.

Her own eyelashes were beautiful too, but she was a girl~

Su Chen was a man, yet he had such beautiful eyelashes. She wondered whether his lashes felt the same as hers.

Actually, Yan Bingxue wanted even more to touch his eyebrows. Those dark, thick brows slanted sharply into his temples like blades, carrying a faint sense of masculine power.

But she did not dare touch them.

She was afraid Su Chen would wake up.

His eyelashes were so long. It should be fine if she just touched them lightly, right?

Yan Bingxue gathered her courage, carefully raised her hand, and slowly moved it toward Su Chen's face.

Su Chen was practically about to cry out inside.

Damn, Yan Bingxue is killing me!

If you want to do something, just do it directly~ Acting so cautious is really making my heart itch!

With his eyes closed, he could only rely on his senses to judge what she was about to do, yet he still could not guess what she actually wanted.

Second by second, time passed. Though they were so close, Yan Bingxue's shyness and caution meant they still had not touched.

Su Chen could not wait any longer and slightly furrowed his brow.

Seeing that movement, Yan Bingxue was startled. She immediately pulled her hand back and accidentally bumped Su Chen's arm.

She did not dare move at all, stiffening like a frightened little rabbit with her big eyes squeezed tightly shut.

Su Chen was helpless and could only continue pretending to sleep. Yan Bingxue cautiously opened her eyes a tiny bit. Seeing that Su Chen had not woken up, she let out another breath of relief and resumed what she had been doing.

Having learned his lesson, Su Chen did not dare move at all with his eyes closed. He just wanted her to hurry up.

But at that very moment, a childish voice came from the doorway.

"Mommy, what are you doing?"
