Chapter 367: Coaxing Xiaoxin to Sleep
When she entered Xiaobai’s room, Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment because the layout was the same as four years ago. It was just that no one had lived for a long time.
Qin Muxuan looked at the obviously new sheets on the bed and pretended to ask casually, “Xiaobai, how long has it been since you last lived here?”
Xiaobai’s expression darkened slightly and he seemed to have recalled some bad memories. “I moved out when you left four years ago. Sometimes, Papa would bring me back to visit Grandmother, but I never stayed here.”
Because of what happened to Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai both had a grudge against Elderly Lady Gu. Although Xiaobai was young, he knew about what she did and was unwilling to call her Great Grandma.
Elderly Lady Gu knew that she had hurt Qin Muxuan. Although she regretted it, she could do nothing to change it. Seeing that Qin Xiaobai, his great-grandson, became more and more distant from her, she became more eager to get Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao together so that they could have another child as soon as possible.
However, all Gu Zijin had for Yan Yuxiao was utmost disgust. From their absurd wedding to their divorce, Gu Zijin had never slept in the same room with Yan Yuxiao, let alone sleeping on the same bed with her.
Qin Muxuan didn’t dig deeper and changed the topic. “Do you still have your clothes in the room?”
Qin Xiaobai nodded, “In the wardrobe.” Although he didn’t live here, Ye Han would still prepare Xiaobai’s daily necessities for him.
Qin Muxuan quickly found Qin Xiaobai’s pajamas in the wardrobe. What was unexpected was that there were also a few sets of pink clothes in the wardrobe, which were for little girls.
Qin Muxuan took out one of them and soon realized that it was an outfit for Xiaoxin. She couldn’t help but laugh and feel grateful. Ye Han had always been considerate. Four years ago, she also treated her quite well.
As expected, Qin Xiaobai said no to Qin Muxuan’s offer to help him take a shower. He took his pajamas and entered the bathroom. Qin Xiaobai took a quick shower and came out in about ten minutes.
Qin Muxuan was a little surprised. She raised her eyebrows and teased, “You were so fast. Did you even take a shower?”
Xiaobai knew that his mommy was teasing him again. He was a little helpless, “Da Bai, don’t doubt me. I’ve taken a shower.”
Qin Muxuan felt playful, so she hugged Qin Xiaobai and kissed him on the cheek, “Well, let me confirm. You smell so good!”
Qin Xiaobai blushed instantly. Although he was kissed by his mommy, he still felt shy.
Xiaoxin, who was standing nearby, saw it and she also wanted to kiss her brother. Xiaobai had always done whatever his sister wanted him to do, so he squatted down and leaned over.
Xiaoxin let out an exaggerated “Muah”, which made Qin Muxuan laugh. The suppressed mood after entering the Gu Family’s mansion this afternoon seemed to have completely disappeared.
When Ye Han came in with fruit, she saw the three of them playing and laughing together. She couldn’t help but smile, “What is it that makes you all so happy?”
Qin Muxuan was a little embarrassed when she saw Ye Han come in. She restrained the smile on her face and looked serious. However, the smile on her eyebrows could not be completely taken back, “Nothing, we were just playing around.”
Ye Han put the fruit on the table. “Okay. I’m just here to bring you some fruit. By the way, do you see the clothes I prepared for Xiaoxin?”
Qin Muxuan nodded. “Yeah.”
“Are they the right size? I’ve never seen her before, so I bought them all according to her age.”
Qin Muxuan smiled and nodded, “They’re the right size, and Xiaoxin likes pink.”
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m glad to hear that. I’ve never had a daughter myself, but I think girls might like pink.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan touched Xiaoxin’s head. “Xiaoxin, Grandmother bought you clothes. What should you say?”
Xiaoxin hurriedly smiled and threw herself into Ye Han’s arms. She sweetly said, “Thank you, Grandmother!”
When Ye Han saw how cute and polite Xiaoxin was, she liked her even more. “I’m glad that you like it. If there’s anything that you want, just tell me and I’ll get it for you!”
Xiaoxin’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really?!”
Ye Han nodded. “Yeah.”
Qin Muxuan was a little helpless as she saw how Ye Han pampered Xiaoxin the same way as Gu Zijin did.
Xiaoxin sneaked a glance at Qin Muxuan who was standing next to her. Seeing that she did not get angry, she whispered a few words into Ye Han’s ear.
Qin Muxuan was even more speechless. It was obvious that she was talking about the Barbie dolls!
After Ye Han heard what Xiaoxin said, the smile on her face deepened. She glanced at Qin Muxuan and nodded.
Qin Muxuan was a little surprised. They didn’t seem like to be talking about Barbie dolls.
“Xiaoxin, you want to sleep with Grandma today?” Ye Han really wanted to spend more time with her granddaughter who she had met for the first time.
“But where would Grandpa sleep?” I see that mommy and daddy slept together. Shouldn’t Grandpa and Grandma also sleep together?” Xiaoxin blurted out.
Qin Muxuan looked at her big-mouthed naïve daughter, and then faced Ye Han who looked both astonished and thoughtful. She really wanted to find a crack on the ground and hide in there. It wasn’t long after she reunited with Gu Zijin, and she had been sleeping on the same bed with him. She felt that it was so embarrassing.
Thankfully, Ye Han quickly put away her surprise, “Don’t worry. Xiaoxin will sleep with Grandma. And Grandpa will stay in the study, okay?”
Xiaoxin hesitated for a moment, but she shook her head and refused, “But I want to sleep with my brother.” Xiaoxin could tell that Grandpa didn’t like mommy very much. If she got grandma away from grandpa, she feared that grandpa would dislike mommy even more, so it was best to refuse.
Ye Han didn’t know how sensitive Xiaoxin was. She only thought that they weren’t close enough as they just met each other. Although she was a little disappointed, she didn’t force her, “It’s okay. If you want to sleep with Brother Xiaobai, then sleep with him. Do you like Brother Xiaobai so much?”
Xiaoxin nodded firmly, “Yeah, I like Brother Xiaobai a lot!”
Although it was not the first time that his sister said that, Xiaobai was still very happy.
Ye Han stayed and talked with them for a while; then she told Xiaobai and Xiaoxin to eat some fruit and go to bed early before she left.
After Qin Muxuan and Xiaoxin came back after washing up, Xiaobai had already laid the bed and put a pillow on it.
Xiaoxin did not hesitate to cover herself with the quilt and tuck herself inside. And she closed her eyes after saying goodnight to Qin Muxuan.
Qin Muxuan saw that and was a little dumbfounded. “Xiaoxin, don’t you need me to get you to sleep?”
Xiaoxin opened her eyes and her eyes were crystal clear like a grape soaked in water. “No, brother will tell me a story.”
Qin Muxuan was speechless. So turned out the two of you didn’t need me at all, so she left the room after Qin Xiaobai got into the quilt.
