CHAPTER 238: CHAPTER 238: TWO LITTLE LIGHT BULBS

"Xuanxuan, how about Mommy sleep with you?" Mi Wan opened her arms, wanting to take Xuanxuan from Ji Dongquan’s embrace.

"I want to sleep alone. If Mommy has a nightmare, let Mr. Ji stay with you, so you won’t be scared." Xuanxuan said considerately.

Hearing this, Mi Wan was slightly taken aback, thinking, when did she have a nightmare?

Mi Wan looked at Ji Dongquan in confusion, but Ji Dongquan just smiled with interest, then carried Xuanxuan into the room. Kabi followed them, walking leisurely in small steps, and soon snuggled quietly and obediently into its little nest.

Within a few minutes, Xuanxuan fell asleep again, and then Ji Dongquan and Mi Wan walked out of her room one after the other.

"What did you say to Xuanxuan?" Mi Wan followed Ji Dongquan into their own room and asked curiously.

"Nothing much." Ji Dongquan smiled faintly, deliberately keeping her in suspense.

"Don’t try to fool me, just tell me." Mi Wan was so shrewd that she couldn’t be easily "deceived".

"I’ll tell if you give me another chance."

"Don’t even think about it!" Mi Wan glared at Ji Dongquan, threw a sentence at him, and then walked straight to the bathroom.

Hehe.

Watching Mi Wan’s back, Ji Dongquan chuckled to himself. Then he cast his eyes on the big bed and found that the sheets had been changed, and the room had been tidied up.

Quick indeed!

Ji Dongquan turned around to look at Mi Wan again. Only after Mi Wan’s figure disappeared at the bathroom door did he withdraw his gaze.

The next day, Xuanxuan got up very early, following Mi Wan to help with breakfast.

"Good morning, Mr. Ji!"

Seeing Ji Dongquan walking down from upstairs, Xuanxuan sweetly smiled at him.

"Good morning, Xuanxuan."

It was their first morning living under the same roof. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Even when sitting at the same table as He Zerui, Xuanxuan was still beaming with smiles.

"Mr. Ji, are you going to work today?" Xuanxuan took a few sips of porridge, then licked her lips and asked in a childish voice.

"Yes." Ji Dongquan nodded and asked, "Does Xuanxuan want to go out and play?"

"I want to go to Auntie’s house." Xuanxuan didn’t want to stay at home with He Zerui, so she wanted to sneak out and play.

"Mr. Ji’s workplace isn’t on the way. After breakfast, Mommy will take you." Xuanxuan had mentioned to her before that she wanted to go to Mi Jing’s house, so Mi Wan had already planned to send Xuanxuan there, then go to the supermarket to buy some things, come back to give He Zerui a lesson, and prepare lunch.

However, Ji Dongquan couldn’t bear to let Mi Wan do all these things. Having finally married her, he naturally wanted to pamper her even more, so he let Mi Wan stay home while he personally took Xuanxuan to Mi Jing’s house.

"Auntie!"

Hearing the doorbell, Mi Jing came to open the door. Even before she saw Xuanxuan, she heard her voice.

The door opened, and both the smiling Xuanxuan holding Kabi and Ji Dongquan came into Mi Jing’s view. She smiled at Xuanxuan and then said to Ji Dongquan, "Brother Ji, come inside and sit."

"I won’t sit, there’s an important meeting at the company today that I need to attend."

Hearing this, Mi Jing smiled and said, "So busy even before the New Year is over?"

"No choice, have to make money to support the family." Ji Dongquan joked, "And, shouldn’t you start calling me brother-in-law?"

Oh yes, Brother Ji had already registered the marriage with her sister.

Upon hearing Ji Dongquan say this, Mi Jing remembered and called out with a bright smile, "Brother-in-law."

"Mm." Ji Dongquan nodded in satisfaction, then handed a red envelope to Mi Jing before leaving.

Neither Xuanxuan nor Kabi were new to Mi Jing’s house, so as soon as Xuanxuan put Kabi down, Kabi immediately ran directly to the studio, happily wagging its tail when it saw Gu Can inside.

"Kabi!"

Seeing Kabi, Gu Can was delightfully surprised. She immediately put down her paintbrush and stood up from the small bench, then hugged Kabi and rubbed it.

"Are you Cancan?" Xuanxuan, who had followed Kabi inside, saw a girl about her age hugging Kabi affectionately. She immediately thought of Gu Can, whom Mi Jing had mentioned before.

"Yes! Are you Xuanxuan?"

The two had never met before, but because of Mi Jing and Kabi, they had both heard each other’s names before. Seeing the girl who appeared with Kabi, Gu Can instantly thought of Xuanxuan, as mentioned by Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing.

"Yes, I’m Xuanxuan." Xuanxuan nodded and politely said, "Nice to meet you."

"Hehe, nice to meet you too." Gu Can laughed happily. She released Kabi and picked up a little dog next to it, similar in appearance to Kabi, introducing it like a treasure, "This was given to me by my Fourth Uncle. I named it Meng Meng. Xuanxuan, do you think it is cute?"

"Very cute, just as cute as Kabi."

The two little girls quickly bonded over their dogs. By the time Mi Jing walked in, they were already chatting away enthusiastically. Mi Jing stood aside listening, almost unable to get a word in edgewise.

Perhaps children understand each other’s world best. Watching the two different but equally innocent and pure little girls, Mi Jing suddenly felt a sense of how wonderful youth was.

At such a young age, all emotions were so evident and expressive. Things were simple, such that they could talk about two dogs for an entire afternoon.

When Shen Lingxing came home from work in the evening, he didn’t find Mi Jing in the living room but noticed that besides Cancan and her dog Meng Meng, who had come earlier today, there was also Xuanxuan and Kabi.

"Fourth Uncle, you’re back. Was work tiring?" Seeing Shen Lingxing return, Gu Can happily walked up to him, taking his briefcase from his hand and showing her concern.

"Not tiring." New Year work was busy, which was normal. But at the moment, hearing Gu Can’s soft and warm concern, it felt like all the fatigue disappeared.

"Uncle." Seeing Shen Lingxing and Gu Can walk over, Xuanxuan stood up, picked up the water she had just poured, and handed it to Shen Lingxing, "Have some water."

"Thank you."

Shen Lingxing graciously accepted the cup from Xuanxuan, his eyes sweeping over their youthful faces, feeling touched by her understanding and good manners.

"Fourth Uncle, Cancan and Xuanxuan are good friends now." Gu Can held Xuanxuan’s little hand, smiling with her eyes as she said to Shen Lingxing.

"That’s wonderful. You can often play together from now on." Shen Lingxing put down the cup and said warmly.
