Chapter 17: Daddy and Mommy Let’s Sleep

A tense silence fell over the dining room. When Daddy and Mommy locked eyes, the children felt a chill run down their spines. They knew something was wrong!

Mo Mo quickly filled Lin Banxia’s soup bowl, “Mommy, Mommy, this is so delicious! You have to try it!”

“Daddy, this shrimp is so good. I’ll peel one for you!” Anan quickly got up and went to sit next to Zhan Jingting.

With the children’s intervention, the situation eased.

After dinner.

The children, as if they were already familiar with the place, held Mommy’s hands on either side, leading her on a tour of the villa and introducing her to everything.

It was as if their Mommy would be living here permanently, becoming the mistress of the house, so they had to familiarize her with the surroundings.

They showed her everything: the outdoor pool, the private cinema, the tea room, the study, the gym, the children’s room… and the bedroom  Mrs.Zhou had prepared for her.

“What do you think, Mommy? Isn’t our Daddy super rich?” Mo Mo  said with pride, “He lives in a house this big all by himself! And he has a lot of other properties too!”

“Hmm.” She replied calmly, her emotions unreadable. “I’ve walked around with you two, can you leave with me now?”

“What?” The children looked at her in confusion, “Where are we going?”

Lin Banxia’s family had rules. Remembering how the children had run away without telling her, and now they were so worshipful of this Daddy, she felt a pang of sadness.

She directly pulled them into the bedroom  Mrs.Zhou had prepared for her and locked the door.

“Mommy…” Mo Mo  held Anan’s hand, sensing a bad vibe. Being smart, they both realized something was wrong.

Lin Banxia didn’t say anything. She sat down in a chair and stared at them with a cold gaze.

The children, hand in hand, looked at each other with pursed lips, then walked towards her together.

Mo Mo ，being the older brother, was always responsible. He started to apologize, “I’m sorry… We did wrong by secretly finding Daddy. We really hurt you and didn’t consider your feelings.”

She had raised these children with so much effort, and now someone was trying to take them away from her. As a mother, she was naturally terrified.

“Mommy, don’t be angry. We didn’t tell you beforehand because we were afraid you wouldn’t let us find Daddy.”

“So, who do you love the most now?” Lin Banxia asked.

“Of course it’s Mommy!” The two children blurted out, “Mommy gave birth to us, she bled so much, she suffered so much! Who else would we love but Mommy?”

Hmm, that made her feel a little better.

Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, Anan looked like she had done something wrong, “Please don’t be angry, Mommy. In this world, having more people love us is a good thing, right?”

She had been very angry at the time, but now seeing them safe and happy, she couldn’t blame them anymore.

But now… what should she do?

She was a traditional person, living in a time when holding hands was enough to seal a deal.

She had slept with a man and had a child.

Subconsciously, she also hoped to give her child a complete family.

But she didn’t expect the other party to be Zhan Jingting, which was a bit scary.

It was said that this guy didn’t get close to women, was sensitive and suspicious, had a lack of trust in human emotions, and was moody.

“Mommy, we’re going to take a bath!”

“Go ahead.”

The children actively kissed her cheek and then turned to leave. They were very happy living here, Lin Banxia could feel it.

This bedroom was large, next to the master bedroom, and was decorated not only with good aesthetics but also very warmly.

There was a beautiful bouquet of lilies on the dressing table.

Half an hour later, she was about to go check on the children. As she opened the door, she bumped into Zhan Jingting, who was wearing only a bath towel around his lower body, his upper body exposed.

“Ah!!”

Lin Banxia screamed and turned around, instinctively covering her eyes. Her forehead hit the door, and her head buzzed –

“Are you crazy! Walking around without clothes on!!” It hurt! It hurt so much! She gasped in pain.

He originally wanted to care for her, but she called him crazy, and Zhan Jingting’s face darkened. “This is my own house!” He held a glass of milk and spoke speechlessly.

Then Lin Banxia heard the sound of footsteps fading away. The pain in her forehead also subsided, and as she turned her head, his back had disappeared.

She was so angry!

But just now, his figure was really good! Healthy skin, eight-pack abs, anyone who saw it would be a little nervous.

She should have bumped into him!

“Mommy!”

At this moment, the two little ones, who had finished their bath, came upstairs in their pajamas and ran towards her.

Lin Banxia quickly removed her hand from her forehead. “Finished washing?”

The children pulled her left and right, raised their little heads, their eyes twinkling with stars. “Mommy, there’s one more place in the big villa that we haven’t taken you to! Come on! Let’s go now!”

“Where else?” she asked, forced to take a step with the children. “Don’t we need to visit? I don’t need to be familiar with this place.” She didn’t think much of it.

“No, no, we have to visit this place!” The two children pushed open a door and pulled her in.

A bedroom of the same size came into view. The decoration inside was a little less warm, with a more luxurious and simple style.

A bed over two meters wide was the most eye-catching piece of furniture. The lights in the room were gentle, and Lin Banxia felt her throat tighten. “This is… your dad’s bedroom?”

“Yes!!” The children answered with pride, thinking, you’re going to live here too, so you have to get familiar with it first, right?

She turned to leave, but the two children pulled her down forcefully. Anan shouted at her, “This bed is so comfortable! You try it!” Mo Mo directly asked, “Mommy, will you sleep with us tonight?”

Lin Banxia was shocked by her son’s outrageous words.

“We want to sleep with Daddy! We also want to sleep with Mommy.”

At this time, the bathroom door opened, and Zhan Jingting, wearing pajamas, appeared. His tall figure, handsome features, and incomparably noble aura made Lin Banxia’s chest tighten.

Did he hear what the children said to her just now?

Lin Banxia felt a little embarrassed, not daring to meet his gaze. She wanted to turn and leave, but Anan jumped off the bed and came over to pull her again!

With a pitiful look, she said, “Mommy, the kids in kindergarten all sleep with their daddies and mommies, I’m so envious! We’ve never done it!”

Mo Mo hung his head, a little sad, saying, “Yeah, we’ve never done it.” After saying that, the little guy coughed twice.

It didn’t seem fake, the kind of cough with phlegm in his throat, a little fragile and a little pitiful.

As a doctor, Lin Banxia instinctively squatted down and held her son’s shoulder, “Mo Mo, are you sick?”

Seeing Mommy’s worry, the child was very happy inside.

Zhan Jingting also walked over.

Banxia reached out and touched his forehead, he had a slight fever. She furrowed her brows slightly, “Didn’t he feel well this afternoon?” He didn’t seem unusual during dinner.

Zhan Jingting was a fish in water in the business world, but when it came to children getting sick, he had absolutely no experience.

As a father, he was instinctively a little anxious, “Should we call a doctor or go to the hospital? How do you usually handle this?”

“Do you have any fever patches at home?” Lin Banxia focused on her son, and she wasn’t so embarrassed and awkward anymore.

“Yes.” He responded, then turned and left.

A moment later, the sound of the door closing came. Lin Banxia held her child and patted him, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. Being in the same space with him, the pressure was overwhelming!

“Mommy, stay here～” Anan looked up and blinked at her, pleading, “Sleep here tonight.”
