Luo Xiaolei's lashes flickered as she felt the warmth of the soft sunlight caress her face. The bright light was like a sweet glow meant to awaken her sleeping senses alive.
When she noticed the hand wrapped around her waist, a sweet smile carved on her face. It was Saturday so she didn't move. She wanted him to sleep more and rest more.
But after an hour, Yu Chen was still sleeping so Luo Xiaolei decided to get up. She slowly, and carefully raised the man's arm as she moved away from his embrace.
After climbing off the bed, Luo Xiaolei watched the sleeping man's face for a long while. She was about to touch his peaceful, ethereally handsome face but she stopped herself. 'No, no, you can't wake him up, Xiaolei! Let him have more sleep.' She whispered to herself before she silently left the room.
The living room was empty. Luo Xiaolei was about to climb to the attic to find her little buns when she heard laugher coming from the backyard. She walked towards it and what she saw made her smile. Little Ran was in Juu's arms and Little Rui was in Kyuu's. They were lifting the kids in the air and the boys seemed to be enjoying Juu and Kyuu's company a lot.
Smiling in satisfaction, Luo Xiaolei headed to the kitchen. She decided to cook for Yu Chen and her little buns today. Of course, she had to include the two babysitters.
Time ticked by and the sleeping beauty upstairs finally woke up. When he was walking down the stairs, his nose was tickled by a mouthwatering scent. He creased his brows when he realized that the scent came from the kitchen. He knew that his people didn't cook in his house since they always prepared the meals in the butler's house.
Curious, he headed to the kitchen and when he saw who was cooking, his face brightened as he halted and leaned in the door's frame.
The longer he watched her, the brighter his face became. Glitters and stars were almost appearing around his face. He looked extremely happy and he was smiling by himself.
Gu Wei, who suddenly popped out of nowhere freaked out upon seeing his boss' expression. He was simply acting like Hansel, following the hypnotic scent that he knew would bring him to his demise and yet, who would have thought that he would stumble upon something devastatingly unbelievable?
'Oh god! My boss is smiling on his own like a fool!!!!'
Gu Wei was shocked. Even though Yu Chen's lips were just slightly lifted, this was still considered something out of this world for him.
So the shocked Gu Wei lifted his phone and took a photo of this rare occurrence and yet, his boss didn't even seem to notice him. His boss' face just continued shining as he looked at his dearest Xiaolei.
"Ahem…" Gu Wei tried to get his attention. When Yu Chen glanced at him, Gu Wei sidled towards him. "Boss, could it be that Miss Luo has agreed to marry you?" he asked, extremely excited.
Unfortunately, what he said made the light and smile on Yu Chen's face abruptly disappear. 'Holy cow! Was I wrong? But why did he look so happy? Wait… could it be that they finally did it last night?!!!'
Gu Wei's eagle eyes fell on Yu Chen's neck. 'No, hickeys? Knowing Miss Luo, I am pretty sure there would be hickeys all over his neck by now if she managed to devour him last night. Meaning, I am wrong again?! Then why does he look like he was the happiest man on earth right now?!'
Seeing the drastic change in his expression, Gu Wei was about to speak to at least redeem himself when to his surprise, his boss' face slowly brightened again.
"No, but…" Yu Chen uttered. The corner of his lips lifted again.
"But?" Gu Wei echoed, extremely curious.
"She confessed and said that she really… really likes me." He sounded so damn pleased and happiness was overflowing in his eyes.
Gu Wei: ". . ."
Utterly speechless, Gu Wei weakly leaned on the wall right beside Yu Chen. 'Boss! How could your happiness be this shallow?! I really don't know what to do with you when it comes to these matters! T^T'
After Gu Wei recovered, he sighed really deeply. "Sigh… of course she likes you. That was so damn obvious even if she didn't say it. Sigh… it would have been a little better if what she said was 'I really really love you' right? Sigh… could it be that boss thought that 'I like you' and 'I love you' are the same? Hmm… that's possi–"
Gu Wei's hand flew into his mouth as he gasped. Well, he thought that he was talking to himself in his mind but he was actually talking out loud?! 'Holy cow!!!! Did he hear him?!!'
Just as Gu Wei thought that his life was over, an angel's voice rang and saved him in time.
"Daddy!" Little Rui called out and ran towards him.
Yu Chen finally realized that the twins were also inside the kitchen along with Juu and Kyuu.
Little Rui held Yu Chen's hand and led him close to the table. Juu and Kyuu were helping Xiaolei peel potatoes and carrots while the twins were peeling garlic.
Luo Xiaolei quickly made Yu Chen sit across her. He was still wearing his pajamas and his hair was messy. His morning look was as always, breathtakingly unfair.
As the man sat there quietly, he kept watching what Juu and Kyuu were doing. He was obviously waiting for her to give him something to do but Luo Xiaolei didn't. When there were only two potatoes and carrots left, Yu Chen finally moved and picked up one potato. He was about to get the knife but Luo Xiaolei caught his hand.
Yu Chen raised his face and Luo Xiaolei was looking at him with the words 'there's no way I'm going to let ho touch anything that could hurt you' were written all over her face.
She took the potato from his hand and gave him garlic instead.
"Help Ranran and Rui peel these." She said smiling at him and Yu Chen could only nod and do as she said.
