I and my bestie dressed up as a rich man's wife and ran away with the ball

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized that Zhu Yuan was laughing at her for talking too much.

She half covered her mouth, her brows curved, "Okay, I'm disliked, so I'll say less."

Zhu Yuan's smile deepened, and when it touched Lu Xi's sparkling eyes, Zhu Yuan's eyes also seemed to be tinged with light, "I don't mind."

After saying this, Zhu Yuan paused for a moment, looking at Lu Xi with deep eyes, "I like it very much."

Lu Xi stood there in a daze. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhu Yuan's gaze was a little scorching, making her cheeks turn red unconsciously.

Lu Xi silently put down his hand and looked to the other side unnaturally, "I think I talked a little too much."

"Very good." Noticing Lu Xi's unnaturalness, Zhu Yuan took a half step back at the right time, "Talk more, so you won't seem boring. I like talking to you."

"Really?" Lu Xi's eyes widened. "You usually don't talk much and like to stay quiet. I thought you didn't like us being too noisy."

"No." Zhu Yuan's eyes moved slightly.

Just as Lu Xi said, Zhu Yuan was reserved by nature and liked quietness, but it was precisely because of this that he was attracted by the agility and liveliness of Lu Xi.

He liked to listen to Lu Xi talk quietly. To him, Lu Xi's chattering was like a living painting, pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Yuan naturally wouldn't say these words to Lu Xi now. He just looked at Lu Xi quietly and said, "It's fine like this."

"Okay." Lu Xi nodded, "As long as you don't find it annoying."

As the two were talking, Tangtang had already heard the voices of Zhu Yuan and Lu Xi. She was wearing a puffy skirt and ran towards Lu Xi like a little princess.

"Mommy, kiss!!!"

Tangtang hugged Lu Xi's legs and climbed onto her. Lu Xi reached out to hug her, but Tangtang was no longer a child who could be easily picked up with one hand.

Just when Lu Xi was hesitating, Zhu Yuan picked up Tangtang and said, "Long time no see, Tangtang."

"Uncle Zhuzi!" Tangtang missed Zhu Yuan very much after not seeing him for a long time. She kissed him on the face and said, "I miss you too."

Zhu Yuan touched Tangtang's head and took out a small box from his pocket, "A small gift for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Bamboo~" Tangtang happily accepted the gift, "Uncle Bamboo, can you tell me a story tonight?"

"it is good."

When Tangtang was a child, Zhu Yuan often came to tell her bedtime stories. Later, Zhu Yuan became busier and busier at work and could only try to find time to come.

During this period, Tangtang went to another world. She hasn't heard Zhu Yuan tell stories for a long time, and Tangtang missed him very much.

When Tangtang listens to stories, she will pull Lu Xi to join her.

Even though the child is a few years old, Lu Xi's sleep quality has not declined at all.

Zhu Yuan was halfway through his story, Tangtang was still staring with her bright big eyes, while Lu Xi was already breathing calmly and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Seeing Lu Xi fall asleep, Zhu Yuan lowered his voice, "Your mother has fallen asleep, why don't I come over tomorrow to continue telling the story."

Tangtang glanced at Lu Xi. Although she was very curious about the subsequent direction of the story, she still nodded obediently, "Mommy has worked so hard to take care of me. Let's not disturb Mommy."

"Good boy." Zhu Yuan touched Tangtang's head, "Go to sleep."

Tangtang looked at Lu Xi who was lying on the side, "But what about Mommy?"

"Close your eyes, and uncle will perform magic to bring your mother to you."

"Really? Uncle, you've become even more powerful." Tangtang's eyes lit up, full of admiration for Zhu Yuan.

"real."

Tangtang listened to Zhu Yuan's words and closed her eyes obediently.

She heard some rustling sounds beside her, and then the space next to her collapsed slightly, and a familiar breath approached her.

Tangtang opened her eyes and found Lu Xi had fallen asleep next to her.

Tangtang's eyes lit up. She looked at Zhu Yuan who was standing beside the bed and said, "Uncle Zhuzi, you are awesome."

Zhu Yuan smiled as he covered Tangtang with the quilt. "Good night."

Tangtang nodded, "Good night, Uncle Zhuzi."

However, Zhu Yuan did not leave directly. He stood beside Lu Xi, lowered his eyes to look at Lu Xi for a while, and then said softly, "Good night."

Then he helped Lu Xi to tuck in the quilt and turned to leave the bedroom.

Hearing Zhu Yuan's footsteps disappear, Tangtang secretly opened her eyes, took out the little doll from under the pillow, and prepared to play with it for a while before going to sleep.

However, as soon as Tangtang took out the doll, she felt something was wrong.

She turned her head and found that Lu Xi had opened his eyes without her knowing.

She originally thought that Lu Xi had discovered that she had hidden the doll and had not slept, and just as she was about to admit her mistake, she discovered that Lu Xi had not noticed her little action at all.

Lu Xi looked straight at the ceiling, and her face seemed to be a little red.

Tangtang leaned over and touched Lu Xi's face. It was hot.

Tangtang immediately sat up nervously, "Mommy, are you sick? Your face is so hot."

Lu Xi pushed Tangtang into the quilt and said, "You are not sick. Go to sleep and put the doll back."

Ah, mommy found out after all.

Tangtang chuckled, put the doll aside, and then lay down in the quilt obediently.

But she was still a little worried about Lu Xi, "Mommy, are you really not sick? Do you want to go see a doctor?"

"No." Lu Xi held Tangtang in his arms, "Go to sleep."

"Ow."

Tangtang closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep, but she heard Lu Xi speak again, "Do you like Zhu Yuan?"

"I like it." Tangtang opened her eyes. "Uncle Zhu Yuan is very good to Mommy, me, godmother, and brother."

"Yeah." Lu Xi nodded, "Got it, go to sleep."

"Okay, goodnight, Mommy."

"Good night."

This time, Tangtang fell asleep really quickly in her mommy's arms.

However, Lu Xi suffered from insomnia.

In fact, at the beginning, she did fall asleep while listening to Zhu Yuan telling stories.

Zhu Yuan's voice was low and he spoke very slowly when he told the story, which was really too hypnotic.

Although her sleep quality was very good, it was not so good that she had to be picked up by someone without noticing it at all.

She woke up in Zhu Yuan's arms.

She was so shocked when she opened her eyes that she almost jumped down.

But then she thought again, Tangtang was right next to her, and it would be too embarrassing to jump down like this. She also didn't know how to face Zhu Yuan.

So, Lu Xi chose to pretend to sleep.

Then, she heard Zhu Yuan say good night to Tangtang and felt Zhu Yuan patiently covering her with a blanket.

Of course, she did not miss Zhu Yuan's gentle, "Good night."

The undercurrent between men and women sometimes does not require too many words. A soft good night that is destined to go unanswered is worth a thousand words.
