Little Rascal, Always Undermining Daddy
"Mm."
Su Wanqing nodded. She could tell that Lin Yi truly loved children and took very attentive care of her. Having met a man like him, she didn't want to miss her chance or have any regrets.
Besides, this man was the one she held in her heart.
Although their night together had been so reckless that she had become pregnant, Su Wanqing had never hated Lin Yi, because he had given her two adorable babies.
"Um... now that we've agreed, you can't go back on your word."
"Don't worry, I'll never regret it."
Lin Yi grinned. How could he possibly regret it? This was probably a blessing he had earned over several lifetimes.
Perhaps because Su Wanqing had accepted him, Lin Yi felt motivated. He came to her side, his face full of concern. "Honey, how are you feeling?"
"Much better, thank you."
"No need to be so polite with me. You're my wife. If I don't pamper you, who would I pamper?"
"Oh."
Su Wanqing answered softly, indescribably happy. She was also secretly glad she had loved the right person.
Seeing Su Wanqing curled up shyly on the bed, Lin Yi tucked the blanket around her.
"All right, silly girl, go to sleep."
"I'll massage you a little longer."
"Oh, thank you, Lin Yi."
"You're still calling me Lin Yi? Call me hubby."
At Lin Yi's request, Su Wanqing's face grew burning hot.
Lin Yi had only said it for the pleasure of it; he didn't want to force Su Wanqing. To his surprise, the next second, he heard her stammer.
"H-hubby."
"Then I'll go to sleep."
With that, Su Wanqing burrowed under the blanket.
Hearing what Su Wanqing had called him, Lin Yi froze for a few seconds before his heart burst into bloom. Didn't this mean his wife had accepted him?
Lin Yi was so happy he wanted to fly, but he held himself back. He had to be a mature father and a mature husband.
He then went to the foot of the bed and continued massaging Su Wanqing. Afraid that she would be too uncomfortable to sleep, Lin Yi massaged her until after four.
Only when he saw that his wife was sleeping soundly did he lie down on the bed to rest for a while.
With the babies sleeping peacefully and his wife sleeping soundly, Lin Yi could finally lie down and sleep without worry.
But shortly after he fell asleep, he heard the alarm set on his wife's phone. He checked it and saw that it was half past five.
Seeing the time, Lin Yi realized he hadn't fully understood how hard things were for Su Wanqing. The company was far away, and there were the babies to take care of, so she had to get up very early every day.
But Su Wanqing had never complained to him. It seemed she didn't want him to treat her well out of pity.
"Waaah-waaah-"
Before he could think any further, Tangtang's cries rang through the room. Afraid she would disturb Su Wanqing and Dabao's sleep, Lin Yi hurriedly picked her up.
He felt her diaper and found it was still dry. Then he glanced at Su Wanqing, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't bear to wake her to nurse the baby.
He comforted Tangtang softly, then quickly mixed some formula. Once he put the nipple in the little one's mouth, she began sucking in big gulps.
"Gulp~"
"Gulp~"
Watching Tangtang drink so contentedly, Lin Yi felt deeply satisfied.
So this was a father's love...
After Tangtang had eaten her fill, Lin Yi put her on the bed. With a full tummy, the little one became very lively.
She waved her little hands and feet, occasionally touching her older brother.
Seeing how mischievous his daughter was, Lin Yi told her, "Tangtang, don't disturb your brother's sleep."
"Wah~"
"Mm~"
Though the little one responded, he couldn't tell what she was saying. In any case, she paid Lin Yi's words no mind at all.
After doing it again and again, Tangtang seemed to be touching Dabao on purpose. Seeing how restless his daughter was, Lin Yi picked her up and moved her farther away from Dabao.
Sensing that she was farther away from her brother, the little one knitted her brows tightly. Her big, watery eyes filled with tears, and she began to whimper.
"Boohoo~"
Seeing that his daughter was about to cry, Lin Yi's heart ached terribly, and he hurriedly carried her back.
Tangtang really was a clever little thing. As soon as she was back beside her brother, her face lit up with smiles, and the tears in her eyes vanished.
She continued playing with Dabao's arm, just as before.
"Tangtang, do you want your brother to play with you?"
"Wah~"
"Mm~"
"Your brother is sleeping. He'll play with you when he wakes up."
No sooner had Lin Yi finished speaking than Dabao woke up. When he opened his big eyes and saw Lin Yi in front of him, he began to whimper.
Then his wails rang through the room. Dabao was a boy, and his cries were louder than Tangtang's.
Seeing tears roll down Dabao's chubby little cheeks like golden beans, Lin Yi laughed helplessly. "I just said you were sleeping and couldn't play with your sister, and you woke up the very next second. Little rascal, are you trying to undermine Daddy?"
"Waaah-waaah-"
Dabao couldn't understand him and could only answer with cries.
"Good boy, Daddy won't say that about you anymore."
"How about I make you some formula?"
"Wah~"
"Mm~"
Dabao really was amazing. After a few simple words of comfort from Lin Yi, he stopped crying. He was such a well-behaved boy.
After mixing the formula, Lin Yi brought the nipple to the little one's mouth.
Perhaps because he smelled the milk, Dabao eagerly stuck out his little tongue to reach for it.
"Good boy, don't rush."
"Take it slowly."
"Mm~"
"Yah~"
Lin Yi sat on the bed, holding Dabao in his arms and feeding him. Tangtang seemed to feel neglected and babbled for attention.
"Be good, Tangtang. Your brother can play with you once he's finished his milk."
"It won't take long."
Dabao drank quickly, gulping down all the milk in no time. Once he was full, he spat out the nipple.
A few minutes later, after Dabao had burped, Lin Yi put him beside Tangtang.
"Wah wah~"
"Mm~"
"Hey~"
"Hoo~"
Just like that, the two little ones had a conversation in baby talk, while Lin Yi listened beside them for fun.
At seven o'clock, Su Wanqing suddenly sat bolt upright without any warning. The only explanation was that her body clock had settled into a routine.
Su Wanqing glanced at the clock on the wall and quickly got out of bed. As she looked for her clothes, she said to Lin Yi, "Hubby, thanks for taking care of the babies. I'm going to work."
"Huh? Where are my clothes?"
"You don't need to go to work. I've promoted you to be my personal secretary."
"You just need to come with me when I go to the company. The rest of your time is your own."
"As for your clothes, they're still in the trunk of the car."
Lin Yi pursed his lips as he spoke. He knew Su Wanqing had a strong sense of pride and would never agree if he didn't let her work.
With this arrangement, she had a job and could also stay home with the children and her husband, killing two birds with one stone.
As for Su Wanqing herself, she was completely bewildered. Lin Yi was giving her a backdoor advantage!
Although she very much wanted to stay home and care for the two babies as they grew up, she still refused Lin Yi's blatant favoritism.
"No, people at the company will gossip."
"Who would dare? I'll fire them. Or how about I put you in charge of the company?"
"No, no, no, I can't do that."
"Then just hold a position in name at the company. I'll send out a promotion notice today making you a vice president. It's settled."
