Chapter 293: Chapter 293: You’re Too Tired Chapter 293: Chapter 293: You’re Too Tired After that, they went out to play elsewhere.

There seemed to be a Santa Claus advertisement every ten meters, and the four little ones would light up at the sight of each and every Santa Claus.

Tang Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.

They played outside all day long, had meals, enjoyed a variety of delicious foods, watched a dolphin show, and visited the underwater world.

When night fell, it was time for the evening’s entertainment.

Back in the hotel, after tucking the children into bed, they were still eagerly asking, “Mommy, will Holy Egg Brain bring me a present?”

“Of course, of course, mommy promises.”

Once in the room, Tang Yu slumped onto the couch, completely spent.

When Ye Sihan sat down on the couch, she defensively scooted to the side.

A strong hand reached over, encircling her waist and effortlessly pulling her onto his lap.

“…What are you doing? I’m about to fall apart from exhaustion!” Tang Yu hurriedly tugged at the hand on her waist. “You… you go shower first, then I will.”

“No need for such trouble.” Ye Sihan stood up, carrying her towards the bathroom and standing under the shower.

The water came down, instantly drenching them both.

“Ah…” Tang Yu shrank into his embrace.

Ye Sihan looked at her reaction, his dark eyes deep and bottomless, filled with unknown dangers.

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Yu looked up worriedly, “The photo, the photo is getting wet!”

Frantically, she searched his pockets for the photo but found nothing.

“Huh? Where’s the photo?”

“Gone.”

“What do you mean?” Tang Yu looked at Ye Sihan’s sharply cut, breathtakingly handsome face and, understanding what had happened, spoke with an air of disbelief, “Do you have to be so wary of me? It’s like you think I would steal it or something.”

“Wouldn’t you?”

“I swear I wouldn’t!” Not really!

Ye Sihan kissed her lips softly, “Then there’s no need to worry about it.”

Tang Yu refused to let him kiss her, turning her face away, “Put me down.”

“I’ll help you wash.”

“No.”

“You’re tired.”

“I said no… Ah! Ye Sihan, don’t move, keep your hands… Mmm!”

Half an hour later, Tang Yu ran out of the bathroom.

She was dressed in pajamas, her hair blow-dried, soft and glossy, as she climbed into bed.

Luckily, she had been quick, or else she wouldn’t have been able to leave on her feet!

Seeing that Ye Sihan was still in the bathroom, Tang Yu thought of that man’s terrifying response and was genuinely frightened!

But… where was the photo?

Where had it been hidden?

Tang Yu got out of bed and began searching each corner of the room, especially around the couch.

Because it seemed Ye Sihan had just sat down on the couch when he came in.

But after searching high and low, inside and out, around the couch, she found no trace of the photo.

Hearing noise from the bathroom, Tang Yu quickly jumped back into bed.

Just as she dove under the covers, Ye Sihan came out of the bathroom.

Ye Sihan looked over at the person on the bed and walked over, “Didn’t find it?”

“Find what? What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” said Tang Yu, feigning innocence.

Ye Sihan got onto the bed, and in one swift move, he pulled her beneath him—

“Ah!”

“Sure?”

“I really don’t know what you’re…” Ah!” Tang Yu’s voice pitched up. “I… I’ll say it, I looked… Ye Sihan, how about this, go print out a few more copies, I want one too.”

“You want one?”

“Mhm.” Tang Yu nodded earnestly, her eyes watery and innocent.

“Depends on how you behave,” Ye Sihan’s warm breath fanned over her tender young face, overwhelmingly assertive.

“Please… no more, okay? We still need to give gifts to the kids later,” Tang Yu’s face was both red and hot.

“Just this once.”

“But… Mmm!” Tang Yu bit her lip, afraid of making any strange noises from her throat.

Ye Sihan kissed her soft lips, licked open her teeth, and her lips were finally freed.

Ye Sihan truly let Tang Yu off just this once.

Looking at Tang Yu’s peaceful sleeping face, Ye Sihan didn’t bother her again.

Having played for the entire day, she indeed wore herself out.

He wasn’t that cruel.

In the morning, the four little ones woke up and, sure enough, found many gifts and candies beside their pillows. They hopped on the bed happily, eager to tell mommy the good news!

But just as they ran to the door, daddy blocked the way.

Tang Yu slept until the sun was high in the sky before she woke up, stretching lazily and feeling well-rested.

She thought Ye Sihan was still in bed, but when she turned around, he wasn’t there. Instead, she saw a long box beside her pillow.

What’s this?

She opened the box and was instantly dazzled by the beautiful and exquisite necklace inside.

It was very finely crafted, each segment adorned with pinkish-purple… diamonds? No, they must be crystals.

After all, she had never seen pinkish-purple diamonds.

She held it against the light to take a closer look when the door to the room opened.

Tang Yu turned her face and, seeing Ye Sihan enter, asked, “What’s this?”

“A gift from Santa Claus.”

“…” Tang Yu didn’t believe for a second it was from Santa Claus. “For me?”

Ye Sihan walked over, took the necklace from her hands, and personally put it on her, “The kids have their gifts, and naturally, so do you.” After putting it on, he asked, “What about mine?”

Tang Yu had never expected to receive a gift from Ye Sihan; it was their first time.

So, when Ye Sihan asked her that, she was stunned, “…I didn’t prepare one.”

Ye Sihan’s expression was unreadable as he looked at her, which was quite pressuring.

“I’ll get you one later, okay?” Tang Yu said, feeling embarrassed.

Ye Sihan did not speak but turned his face to look at the mirror on the wall.

Following his gaze, Tang Yu saw herself in her pajamas in the mirror, but the necklace around her neck was extraordinary.

Delicate, slender, the perfect length to reach the collarbone, the pinkish-purple against her fair skin created a dazzling beauty that suited her perfectly.

“Do you like it?” Ye Sihan asked.

Tang Yu nodded, her cheeks flushing red, “I like it. How much? Is it very expensive?”

“Not expensive, 999.”

For Tang Yu, that was not cheap, so she believed the price, “It’s really pretty. Thank you.”

“Just a thank you with your mouth?”

Tang Yu’s gaze moved from the necklace seen in the mirror around her neck, meeting the deep black eyes that were so close, her heart fluttering.

That throbbing sensation was uncontrollable.

She pursed her lips, suppressing the heart that almost leaped from her throat, her hands climbing onto Ye Sihan’s shoulders as she puckered her lips and planted a kiss on his thin lips, their breaths instantly entwining.

In her mind, she was already thinking about what gift to prepare for Ye Sihan later on…

After a long pause, they parted, and Tang Yu looked at him with clear, watery eyes, “A thank you with my mouth.”

Ye Sihan’s dark eyes stared at her knowingly, then one hand cradled the back of her head, “You still don’t know how to kiss, I’ll teach you.”

He said this and aimed for her soft lips to claim them.

Just as their lips were about to touch, the door was suddenly flung open with a bang, and the four little ones rolled in like balls.

They ran joyfully to mommy and daddy, showing off the gifts they had received—

“Mommy, daddy, these are the gifts Holy Egg Brain gave us!”

“So many!”

“Candies, airplanes!”

“Coloring books!”

Tang Yu, who had just separated from Ye Sihan, glanced at the man beside her whose face was turning dark, then smiled at the children.

The gifts looked abundant in their tiny hands, almost too many to hold, yet they were extremely happy and excited.

“Yeah, it’s a lot. You are all good children, so Holy Egg Brain gave you so many gifts,” Tang Yu said.

The four little ones became even happier, placing the gifts on the bed, they began to open the boxes.

They actually managed to hold off until now to open them, wishing to inform mommy first and open them in front of her.

Tang Yu reached out a finger and gently scratched the back of Ye Sihan’s hand, hoping his face would brighten up a bit.

And to express her gratitude.

After all, she was supposed to be part of the gift-giving.

But it ended up being something Ye Sihan did on his own.

Ye Sihan’s large hand gripped hers, holding it tightly in his palm as he looked at her knowingly, “You were too tired last night, I understand.”
