Shen Qingqing's cheeks flushed slightly, her body feeling weak under Fu Jingxu's scorching gaze. She glanced at the clock on the wall.
There was still an hour until dinner.
It should be enough.
She coiled around Fu Jingxu like a snake, holding his neck and saying with languid eyes, "Then why aren't you taking me upstairs?"
Fu Jingxu's eyes darkened.
The next moment, Shen Qingqing was swept into his arms. They went upstairs, entered the study, and the door slammed shut with a bang.
Faintly, Shen Qingqing's voice could be heard.
"Why aren't we going to the bedroom?"
Fu Jingxu's deep voice responded, "We haven't tried it here yet."
The study door was completely closed.
Their voices were also sealed inside.
At five o'clock in the evening, a servant came up to call them for dinner. As she reached the study door and was about to knock, she heard the faint sound of something crashing to the floor and breaking.
At first, the servant thought the master and madam were arguing. But when she listened closely at the door, she realized it wasn't that.
It didn't seem like an argument...
But rather...
The servant's face instantly turned red.
She didn't dare to listen further and quickly turned to leave. As she reached the stairs, she saw two identical little young masters walking upstairs.
The servant quickly stopped them: "Master and Madam are discussing something. You two go to the dining table to eat first. They will come down when they are finished."
"What are Daddy and Mommy busy with?" Xixi asked curiously, looking at the study door.
The servant's face flushed: "I'm not sure either, because I didn't see Master and Madam, I only heard them talking. Young Master, you should go eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
"Then I'll wait for Daddy and Mommy."
"No!" The servant had no idea when the master and madam would finish, and dared not let the two young masters wait hungry. "Master just said for you to eat first, so please listen to Master."
Xixi pouted reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll listen to Daddy."
Seeing the two young masters obediently go downstairs, the servant finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Thinking about the sounds she had just heard, her heart was still racing a little.
The master and madam were truly affectionate.
Chenchen and Xixi were very sensible. They sat at the dining table for a while, still intending to wait for Daddy and Mommy to come down for dinner.
But after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, no one came down. Finally, Old Madam Fu persuaded them, "Don't wait anymore, you two eat first."
"But..."
Chenchen felt it was impolite not to wait for Daddy and Mommy.
Old Madam Fu rubbed his head: "You know, your Daddy and Mommy are busy with work, and they must be busy with their own matters in the study right now."
Old Madam Fu lowered her eyes and smiled. She recalled the scene she had seen in the afternoon.
The couple were indeed "busy."
The two children didn't suspect anything and ate their meals diligently.
The next day, Shen Qingqing surprisingly slept in a little later. She lay in bed, a fair arm resting on her forehead to block the sunlight streaming in from the window.
The scenes of yesterday seemed to replay in her mind.
Shen Qingqing squinted her eyes slightly, her beautiful face exuding allure.
Just then, the bedroom door opened.
Fu Jingxu strode in with his long legs, sat by the bed, his deep eyes falling on her face, a smile and contentment flowing in his eyes: "You're awake."
Hearing the deep, magnetic voice, Shen Qingqing was instantly reminded of how someone had wickedly whispered seductively in her ear last night.
She gritted her teeth, sat up, not caring as the covers slipped, revealing her fair shoulders.
"It's all your fault, and you're still smiling!"
Fu Jingxu chuckled softly, pulling her into his embrace: "Yes, it's my fault. Are you hungry? Let's get up and eat first. I've already instructed them to make your favorite dishes."
With such a good and considerate attitude, Shen Qingqing's dissatisfaction vanished.
She got up with the man's attentive service and went to the bathroom, only to find that even the toothpaste had been squeezed out, and the bathtub was filled with clean, warm water.
She took a comfortable hot bath.
After leaving the bathroom, she saw a set of clean, neatly folded clothes on the cabinet by the door.
The corners of her mouth bloomed into a radiant smile.
When she went downstairs, she saw Fu Jingxu and the two children already seated at the dining table. Old Madam Fu and Fu Ting Sheng were also there. The whole family was patiently waiting for her.
As soon as she sat down, chopsticks and a bowl were placed before her, and a cup of hot milk was placed to her right.
Shen Qingqing looked at the man beside her, her gaze meeting his. Their eyes locked, and smiles flowed between them, an ineffable understanding appearing like pink bubbles in the air.
Fu Ting Sheng and Old Madam Fu exchanged glances.
Eating dog food so early in the morning seemed a bit impolite.
"Eat quickly," Fu Ting Sheng said with a slight cough.
"Father, how is your health?" Shen Qingqing asked with concern.
A smile appeared in Fu Ting Sheng's eyes: "Much better, thanks to you for finding the serum. Otherwise... Qingqing, it's truly great fortune that our son could marry you."
Shen Qingqing lowered her eyes and said softly, "It's nothing, I just did my best."
Unexpectedly, the man who had been silent beside her suddenly spoke: "I think so too."
Shen Qingqing was stunned.
Xixi giggled: "Grandpa, don't praise Mommy too much. Daddy is Mommy's loyal fan. Whenever someone praises Mommy, he always expresses his support."
He was used to it.
Chenchen also nodded: "That's right."
Fu Jingxu glanced at them, his expression unchanged, showing no intention of refuting.
Shen Qingqing shook her head helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Daddy still needs to maintain his image outside."
She meant that while the two children could say such things at home, saying them outside would easily lead people to believe Fu Jingxu was a henpecked husband...
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she heard Fu Jingxu say.
"You're right."
Shen Qingqing gave him a playful glare: "Stop messing around."
Fu Jingxu's expression remained calm as he added a steamed bun to her plate. He observed it carefully, it seemed not too hot, and then placed the prepared dipping sauce on her plate.
Shen Qingqing lowered her head and took a bite.
They ate the same food every day, even with the same filling.
But today, she felt that the steamed bun was exceptionally delicious.
After breakfast, Shen Qingqing received a call from Ke Lin and prepared to go to an auction. Fu Jingxu naturally followed. As they got into the car, Chenchen and Xixi ran out.
The two little ones pressed their faces against the car window, looking at her with pleading eyes: "Mommy, where are you going?"
"We're going to handle some business."
Shen Qingqing gently stroked the little ones' faces.
Xixi tilted his head and rubbed it against her palm: "Mommy, can Brother and I go with you?"
Shen Qingqing said softly, "Next time. Next time Daddy and Mommy go out for fun, we'll take you. Today, we have important matters. You need to be good at home and listen to Grandma and Grandpa, okay?"
Chenchen nodded obediently.
