Chapter 29: Sleeping With Daddy and Mommy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The lights made the house look as bright as it was during the day. Even though the sky was filled with dark clouds, the people eating in the house were undisturbed.
After the meal, Xia Wanyuan held Xiao Bao’s hand and stared at the heavy rain outside the door. She was speechless. ‘Wasn’t the weather quite sunny just now?’
“Mommy, you can sleep with us here today.” Xiao Bao had always seen scenes of parents sleeping with their children in advertisements or cartoons on television.
“...”
Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Xiao Bao’s words. “The storm should stop soon. Didn’t you say you were going to show me your Ultraman? Let’s go and take a look.”
At the mention of Ultraman, Xiao Bao jumped with joy. He leaped up and took Xia Wanyuan’s hands, before running to the second floor.
Jun Shiling had also heard what Xiao Bao said, but strangely, he did not feel repulsed. In the past, he would not even want to take a look at Xia Wanyuan.
“Uncle Wang, have someone prepare the guest room.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The rain came fiercely and lasted a long time. The sky slowly darkened, but the rain still showed no signs of stopping.
“Miss Xia, the guest room is ready. Someone will bring clothes to the manor for you to change into later. Since it’s raining heavily outside, please stay here tonight.”
Uncle Wang stood at the door and was shocked to see how much Little Master relied on Xia Wanyuan. There had never been an outsider staying overnight in the manor, let alone a woman. Hence, many things were not available and had to be sent in from outside.
“Mommy, let’s sleep here. I’m not finished with one of Ultraman’s legs. Can you fix it together with me tonight?”
During this period of time, Xiao Bao had been obsessed with Lego. That Ultraman, who was half the height of a person, was only short of a leg to be completed.
“Alright then.”
Xia Wanyuan was almost done with the filming of the drama, and she did not have other business activities too. Since both houses were Jun Shiling’s anyway, it did not matter where she stayed.
“What did she say?”
Jun Shiling sat downstairs, his resolute side profile remained expressionless.
“Miss Xia agreed.”
Sensing the change in Jun Shiling’s attitude, not to mention the fact that a woman was staying in the manor was already something incredible, everyone began to treat Xia Wanyuan as the future mistress.
They sent a huge plate of fruits to the mother and son, who were engrossed in fixing the Lego. Xia Wanyuan had never eaten most of the fruits on the plate in her two lifetimes.
At that moment, in the public service advertisement that was broadcasted between cartoons, the moon was shining brightly outside the window, and parents and children were sleeping peacefully on the bed in the house.
“A complete family is the greatest care for the baby.”
...
Xia Wanyuan looked at the advertising slogan speechlessly, while Xiao Bao pouted. The tears in his eyes made Xia Wanyuan’s heart clench.
“I am... okay with it, but if your father doesn’t agree, then shall we sleep in the guest room?”
Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling would definitely not agree, so she agreed to Xiao Bao’s request.
“Okay! I’ll go get Daddy!” Xiao Bao’s mood finally turned for the better as he ran down the stairs happily. Xia Wanyuan leisurely picked up a cherry on the table and put it into her mouth, thinking about how to comfort the little dumpling who would be facing rejection.
Moments later, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the door.
“Mommy, Daddy agreed!” The little dumpling’s excited voice rang out.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Xia Wanyuan choked on the delectable fruit. How was it possible that Jun Shiling agreed??
“Mommy, let’s go to bed.” Having obtained Jun Shiling’s permission, Xiao Bao pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand and ran to the master bedroom, completely forgetting Jun Shiling’s request to stay in the guest room.
The master bedroom was very large with huge French windows. The heavy rain had left a series of marks on the glass windows. The decorations in the room were extremely simple, and the dark gray style reflected the cold personality of the owner of the room.
Xiao Bao jumped onto the bed and waved at Xia Wanyuan. “Mommy, come here.”
Xia Wanyuan wasn’t worried about what Jun Shiling would do to her as someone like him had the most unattainable arrogance.
In the past, when they were ambushed by enemy troops in the military camp, there were no tents or beds. Everyone slept on the ground.
At that time, there was no distinction between men and women. They were merely comrades who had fought side by side. As a result, Xia Wanyuan only felt a little awkward and had no other thoughts.
“Okay. Let’s go to sleep.”
Xia Wanyuan stepped forward, lifted the blanket, and pulled the little dumpling into her embrace. She softly hummed a new song that she had been listening to for the past few days. But after half an hour, Xiao Bao’s eyes were still wide open.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Xia Wanyuan noticed the obvious fatigue in Xiao Bao’s eyes.
“Why isn’t Daddy here yet?” Xiao Bao insisted on sleeping with his parents.
“He should be here soon.” Xia Wanyuan could only comfort him.
Jun Shiling, who had been hesitating for a long time downstairs, did not know why he had softened his heart and agreed to his tearful son. Perhaps it was because he had owed this child too much, and he could not bear to shatter the child’s hope.
According to Xiao Bao’s routine, he should have fallen asleep by now. Jun Shiling put down his book and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.
Unexpectedly, when he gently pushed open the door, two pairs of bright eyes on the bed looked towards him.
