Lan Yuxi was taken aback by his question, "I did, why are you asking... Ah!"
After a startled cry, Lan Yuxi was already being scooped up by Nan Xiao. The man's lips were tightly pressed, and veins were faintly visible on his forehead, making him look quite frightening.
The moment he raised his foot to kick open the bedroom door, Lan Yuxi suddenly realized something and hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Don't do anything rash... Mmm—"
Nan Xiao didn't give her a chance to speak and leaned down to kiss her lips.
In the small lounge, two passionate bodies were entwined on a not-so-large bed...
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Xiao, looking satisfied, finally released the little woman beneath him.
Lan Yuxi looked at the infinitely enlarged handsome face before her, recalling the shameless way he had tormented her in various ways earlier. Her small face flushed as she averted her gaze.
Nan Xiao raised his hand to straighten her face and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Lan Yuxi's little face turned even redder, "It hurts."
Nan Xiao ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "It's good that it hurts. Only then will you remember who your man is!"
Lan Yuxi pouted angrily and tugged at his ear, "You're so wicked!"
Nan Xiao smiled, pulled down her little hand, and kissed it gently. "I'm only wicked because you made me. Eating food another man gives you and then not calling him husband? If I don't teach you a lesson, when will you realize you have a husband?"
Lan Yuxi pouted and pushed him with her hand, "You go out first."
"I'm not going out. I want you to truly feel my presence." Nan Xiao not only didn't go out but pressed down further. "I originally wanted to find a romantic place to make up for the regret of our first time, but I found you have no awareness of being a married person. If you dare to get close to other men again, I'll deal with you like this until you can't get out of bed."
Lan Yuxi sensed his intention to move upwards and hurriedly pleaded, "I'll only eat the food you give me from now on, okay? You go out first. The children will be asleep soon; they'll look for me."
"It's already past ten. They've been asleep for a long time." Nan Xiao glanced at the uneasy little person beneath him and leaned down to kiss her.
A night of passion, an atmosphere of lingering romance...
The next morning, Lan Yuxi woke up in the master bedroom. Recalling the wild night, her face flushed red all the way to her ears.
She subconsciously glanced to her side and, not seeing Nan Xiao, felt an instant pang of emptiness.
With a rustle, the bathroom door opened, and Lan Yuxi quickly turned her head to look.
Nan Xiao, dressed in a white loungewear set, emerged with his long, slender legs.
The man looked refreshed and radiant, making Lan Yuxi's teeth itch.
Seeing that she was awake, Nan Xiao dotingly rubbed her head. "Why are you up so early? Sleep a little longer; it's not even seven yet."
"I can't sleep anymore. Yesterday, the two children and I agreed that starting today, they will resume their morning training." Lan Yuxi said, shifting in the covers to try and get up. However, such a simple movement made her face contort in pain.
Nan Xiao quickly got into bed and held her. "Don't move yet; I'll apply some medicine for you."
Lan Yuxi felt better before he mentioned applying medicine. Once he brought it up, she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. It was one thing for him to climb out the window in the middle of the night to buy medicine, but what she couldn't accept was the tormenting way he applied it.
Nan Xiao reached for the ointment on the bedside table. Just as he was about to unscrew the lid, Lan Yuxi snatched it away.
"I'll do it myself. You go check on the children. If they're awake, take them to practice."
"Can you do it yourself?"
"Yes! Go now! Otherwise, they'll be knocking on the door any minute."
"Knock, knock..." As soon as Lan Yuxi finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
Lan Yuxi raised her hand and pushed Nan Xiao, who was still lingering on the bed.
Nan Xiao leaned down, kissed her forehead, and then rolled out of bed.
As soon as the door was ajar, Mu Mu tried to squeeze in.
Nan Xiao made a shushing gesture, stepped aside, and walked out, closing the door behind him.
"Mommy isn't awake yet. Daddy will take you to practice."
Zhao Zhao asked worriedly, "Mommy isn't awake yet. Is she sick?"
"No, Mommy just slept in late yesterday." Nan Xiao bent down, picked up his twin children, and quickly descended the stairs.
Mu Mu hugged her father's neck and asked in a childish voice, "Why did Mommy sleep late? She told us not to stay up late, so why did she stay up late?"
Nan Xiao smiled and kissed his daughter's rosy little cheek. "It was a special situation yesterday. Mommy was helping Daddy tidy up his study. She'll sleep and wake up early from now on."
"Brother and I wanted to help last night too, but Grandma wouldn't let us disturb you, so we went to sleep with Grandma."
Nan Xiao curved his lips into a smile. "Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu are so good!"
Zhao Zhao looked at him with a thoughtful expression. "Daddy, are you more skilled, or is Mommy more skilled?"
Nan Xiao smiled. "Your mother has always aspired to defeat me but has never won against me. So, who do you think is more skilled?"
Zhao Zhao: "..."
Nan Xiao walked to the lawn and set the two children down. "Daddy will practice with you from now on. Your mommy is too tired; let her sleep a little longer."
Zhao Zhao tilted his small head and asked, "Daddy, is your master more powerful, or is your grandmaster more powerful?"
"They are evenly matched."
"Then why can't Mommy beat you?"
Nan Xiao looked at his son's troubled expression, raised his hand, and rubbed his little head. "Your mother is often lazy when she practices. If she were more diligent, she could at least be on par with me. So, when you practice, you must be diligent. Especially you, the burden on your shoulders is heavy. You have to protect the Nan family and protect Mommy and your sister. I hope you do better than I do. But I also don't want you to be too tired. Let's do our best, okay?"
Zhao Zhao nodded solemnly. "Okay... Daddy, the tutors will all be here today. I've made a study plan. Could you take a look when you have time?"
Nan Xiao was slightly taken aback. How old was this child to be able to create his own study plan!
"Okay, after breakfast, I'll look at it for you."
Upstairs, Lan Yuxi got out of bed, enduring the pain. She pulled open the curtains and looked down, seeing Nan Xiao jogging with the two children along the track.
Lan Yuxi pouted. This man's energy was truly boundless. After tossing and turning all night without much sleep, he was still running so effortlessly.
Nan Xiao seemed to sense something. As he ran to the window, he looked up and saw her. The moment he met her gaze, his eyes were filled with doting affection.
