What followed little Rui's question was a deafening silence. After a while, Yu Chen slowly retracted his hand but no words left his mouth.
His gaze fell on the little buns who were still looking at him, blinking innocently with anticipation evident in their eyes and he cleared his throat before he leaned back on his seat.
"Well…" he finally started. In that moment, the twins weren't the only one who was waiting for his answer but everyone who was with them. "Soon." He continued.
Silence enveloped the car again after his one-word answer. His men's jaws dropped in disappointment, speechless, but not the little curious guy beside him.
"How soon?" Little Rui asked again and Yu Chen fell into another trance.
By that time, their car had just entered the huge gates of Scarlet Hill so Yu Chen's men finally dropped their guards down. Of course, Gu Wei who was sitting just beside Little Rui heard what the little guy said loud and clear so as soon as they drove into the safe zone, the man suddenly mumbled.
"How could your mommy and daddy give you a baby sister when you two are always in the way every night in their bed…" Gu Wei gasped and he covered his mouth as soon as he realized that he was actually saying those words out loud.
His head moved towards the father and sons trio like a robot and as soon as he saw Yu Chen's deadly glare pointed on his neck, he cried without tears. Before he could even attempt to redeem himself and tell the kids that he was just kidding, little Rui spoke first, not to him but to his dad.
"Daddy, actually… Ranran and I are too old to still be sleeping with you two so I think it's time for us to have our own room now, right Ranran?"
Everyone, most especially Yu Chen, was surprised by the boy's words, except of course for the quiet little Ran who was nodding like an old man, showing his 100% support behind his brother's idea.
Yu Chen couldn't speak. He was thinking about whether it was better for him tell the truth now, that he and Luo Xiaolei weren't married yet, but he somewhat hesitated. He didn't want to decide all this without Luo Xiaolei's approval.
"We will talk about this too, once your mommy is home." Yu Chen finally replied and the man who was screaming the words 'I second the motion' just a moment ago, dropped his shoulders in disappointment. Boss, why does it feel like you're the wife here who is afraid to bypass his beloved hubby in making an important household decision?!
…
Yellow bell orphanage…
It was already dark when Luo Xiaolei left her secret base. She had texted Yu Chen after her class to let him know that she would be ing home late and the man told her to call him once she was ready to go home. So, here she was, calling Yu Chen as she walked on the sidewalk.
"Hello? Sorry, it took some time for me to finish." Luo Xiaolei explained as soon as the call connected.
"Where are you?" Yu Chen's voice was low, really so pleasing in the ears.
"I'm near Yellow Bell's orphanage right now, already waiting for a taxi."
"I think it's better if I e and pick you up."
"No, it's alright. I can't trouble you for…"
"It's dangerous to ride a taxi alone at night." Yu Chen's tone change a bit, he sounded serious, causing Luo Xiaolei to put her lower lip between her teeth and then quickly surrendered.
"Okay." She replied and the man immediately told her to stay put and wait for him.
When the call ended, Luo Xiaolei took a deep breath. She stared at Yu Chen's name on her phone, "Mr. Devil
