Chapter 629: Smart Little Ones
Big Aunt loved and doted on her very much, but this affection was tinged with a hint of formality; after all, they were not truly mother and daughter.
But...
Now she understood.
"Wuu, wuu, wuu~" Xiaobao's voice was a bit hoarse as she buried her little face in An Yinan's embrace, refusing to lift it no matter what.
Although she had stopped crying, the way she was still sobbing made many people feel even more heartbroken.
Liu Xicai, feeling pained, didn't think too much and pinched Yun Fei's waist directly.
Missions, missions, missions—he was nowhere to be seen day after day for his missions, and even though there were so many children at home, it wasn't easy for her to see any of them.
It was hard enough to have a girl who wasn't going to be a soldier, and yet! Day after day, it was still missions!
The children were young, the elders were old, and they still had to face partings every day; she didn't complain, but seeing a scene like this, it was hard not to feel heartbroken.
Heartbroken for her own children, heartbroken for such young granddaughters and grandsons.
Dabao was very well-behaved, snuggling against Chen Xun's chest, his chubby little hand reaching out to comfort his younger sister.
A child not even a year old, he seemed to already know his duty as an older brother; even though his mouth turned down several times, he didn't cry out loud.
An Yinan felt extremely pained; if they were by her side, they would still be carefree babies.
She reached out and pulled Dabao into her arms as well, with one child resting on each shoulder, and as she felt their warmth, her heart was filled with peace.
"These two little rascals must still recognize their parents, and now they're complaining about their grievances." Yun Qi knew it all too well; the half a year he had been back had almost made him forget how clever these two children were.
It was only beside Nan Nan and Chen Xun that they received such unique favoritism.
"How old were they back then? How could they possibly remember?" Liu Xicai was caught between laughter and tears, denying it flatly.
Yet the two children, their hands tightly gripping An Yinan's clothes, wouldn't let go for even a second, as if they were afraid their mother would leave.
After that, she couldn't bring herself to say any more words of denial.
Everyone else left, leaving the room to the family of four.
An Yinan sat on the bed and wanted to put the two children down, but their hands simply wouldn't let go.
"I'm not leaving, you two let go first," An Yinan said helplessly.
She was just negotiating out of instinct, but she didn't expect...
The two children looked at her to confirm, then slowly let go of their hands; if not for the wrinkles on her clothes representing that everything just now wasn't a hallucination, she would have thought it was all fake.
These two little ones, they were truly about to become spirits...
"Sit properly, let's have a chat," An Yinan said tentatively.
Dabao, who had just been rolling around, sat up immediately, and even took the opportunity to pull Xiaobao, who was playing with her feet.
Chen Xun saw his wife and the two little ones sitting face-to-face on the bed.
What kind of two children had they given birth to?
"These two days, I will be here," An Yinan said first.
"But after two days, I have to leave..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately turned down their mouths, looking like they were about to cry.
An Yinan, who was already feeling bad inside, suddenly let out a "puchi" laugh when she saw the look on the two children's faces.
Now she finally saw it: these two children were too smart, and the fact that they remembered their parents from such a young age likely had to do with her space.
However...
She looked at the two well-behaved yet aggrieved children, and she didn't know how to say the rest of her words.
"After I finish my business, I will go back and reunite with you."
She finished speaking, but seeing two blank faces, she suddenly realized that they were just children, not adults; even if their memory was good, their understanding of certain vocabulary and many concepts was still insufficient.
"Mommy loves you," An Yinan smiled and didn't explain further; looking at the two children, she wanted to pour out all her love.
"Love!" Just at this moment, Dabao suddenly opened his mouth, his chubby little hand slapping the bed, as if it had taken a great deal of effort to say this word.
Just as they couldn't tame their own hands and feet, they still needed a lot of time to tame their own mouths.
"Baby, love Mommy, right?" An Yinan picked up Dabao, but didn't forget Xiaobao either.
She placed the two babies on her lap, kissing one and then the other, looking at them as if she could never get enough.
Chen Xun stood by the bed, wrapping the mother and her two children into his embrace.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
"Is Nan Nan inside?" Yun Qi knocked on the door and asked Yun Mo, who was at the doorway.
He had just let Xiao Guo go to rest, and Yun Mo was keeping watch.
Although it was much safer in Pengcheng than in Hong Kong, the Leader's status and the mission were both too important, so they dared not let their guard down.
"An An Erge, the Leader and the Captain are inside," Yun Mo nodded, looking as well-behaved as could be.
He was afraid!
Afraid of Big Sister scolding him, afraid of An An Erge plotting against him.
Big Sister's scolding only lasted for a moment, but the duration of An An Erge's plotting depended entirely on his own mood.
An Yinan heard Yun Qi's voice and called out to the outside, "Come in."
Only then did Yun Qi push open the door and look at An Yinan, "I want to go check out the venue; is there anything else you need me to do?"
He had arrived in Pengcheng yesterday and wanted to scout the venue in advance, but he didn't expect Guo Ge to tell him that Nan Nan had everything prepared, and he just had to wait to be the groom.
"You? What do you need to do? Haven't you been busy enough in Beijing?" An Yinan looked at Yun Qi with amusement; it had to be said, now that he was a groom, he seemed a bit different from before.
When others got married, they became more steady.
Her An An Erge had always hidden his true nature very deeply, making it hard for people to see his thoughts, but now he looked like he had a bit of a young man's liveliness.
"..."
Yun Qi really wanted to have everyone judge the situation and see what kind of things this woman was saying.
He was busy to death in Beijing, but that was his own wedding after all; he wanted to give Xiue the best wedding possible.
But...
Today, she actually asked him if he hadn't finished being busy yet?
It was his own wedding, and there were only two of them—one in Beijing and one in Pengcheng—so no matter how busy he was, it was fine.
"For the side here, all the procedures are waiting for someone to guide us tomorrow. Right, take this set of clothes back and try the size." An Yinan walked to the room where they were resting, then took out a leather suitcase, opened it, and inside was a flashy red Tang Suit...
On the red Tang Suit, black-gold silk threads were embroidered with patterns he didn't recognize.
"This... isn't it too bright?"
Yun Qi swallowed hard, looking uncertain. Back in Beijing, he had worn a grey Zhongshan Suit, and now in Pengcheng, he was given a red Tang Suit; red...
Was it a bit too high-profile?
