"Uhm… I… I mean… with your male friends."
As Luo Xiaolei quickly tried to redeem herself from the pit she herself created, Yu Chen looked at her as if he was asking why she was even saying such things.
"No. I haven't slept with any women or men." He replied without any change in his expression, as if he just answered some normal day to day question like 'how is the weather today?', rendering Luo Xiaolei into utter silence. What could she still even say at this moment?! But still… this man of all people?!
Wait!! Did this mean he was still a virgin?! This Yu Chen?!!! How am I supposed to believe that a man of this caliber had never slept with anyone else?! Wait, wait, wait… Luo Xiaolei! You both are talking about the literal meaning of the word 'sleep' here okay?! So Luo Xiaolei, please stop with your wild imagination!!!
"I… I see. W-well, please don't worry. The kids especially little Ran isn't an unruly sleeper. He also sleeps like a log…" Somehow, Luo Xiaolei managed to swiftly change the course of their topic. However, in the middle of her story telling, she suddenly gasped. "Ahh!! Oh no, I forgot!"
"What is it?"
"I didn't pack any clothes because we left my apartment in a hurry."
"It's alright. I'll go send someone to buy clothes."
"Wait… uhm…"
Before Luo Xiaolei could even say any more words, Yu Chen already started walking to go inside the house, leaving Luo Xiaolei simply staring at his back. Apart from the fact that they were in a haste when they left, Luo Xiaolei actually didn't worry about getting any clothes because she really thought that there was no way Yu Chen would let her live with him the moment he saw the twins. But it all turned out like this and she even ended up troubling Yu Chen for their clothes now.
Heaving a sigh, Luo Xiaolei was about to follow Yu Chen to tell him that she would go get their clothes herself when someone tugged the edge of her shirt.
She looked down and saw Little Ran pointing his forefinger towards the pond. Luo Xiaolei looked at the direction he was pointing at and when she saw Little Rui attempting to jump in the pond, Luo Xiaolei's eyes widened.
"Rui!" she immediately called out the boy's name as she hastily walked towards him. As soon as the boy heard his mommy's voice, he quickly stepped back. When he saw Luo Xiaolei walking towards him, the boy pressed his lips tightly and then he ran to meet her.
He even started pouting, looking at Luo Xiaolei like a sad little puppy. It seemed like he knew that his mommy might scold him so he immediately unleashed his overloading cuteness as a shield. And he succeeded. Upon seeing Little Rui's repentant face, Luo Xiaolei could only sigh and she knelt down before him.
"You know what you were about to do was dangerous, right?" she gently asked and Little Rui nodded.
"Mm. I'm sorry mommy. I was just trying to feel the water. I didn't mean to jump in it," he reasoned.
"Sigh… I understand that you are curious but the next time you want to attempt something like that, ask me to come out here to watch over you okay?"
"Mm. Can we ask daddy to watch over us too?"
Lu Xiaolei was rendered speechless again for a split second. Her mind went blank and she spaced out for a bit. 'Oh man, what have I gotten myself into?' She really didn't want the twins bothering Yu Chen because she knew he was a busy man so she replied.
"Uhm, daddy is quite busy so, maybe just ask mommy for things like this, ok? Now promise me you won't go off on your own again."
"Mm. Ok mommy, I promise."
"Good. Let's go back inside for now."
When the trio returned inside the house, Luo Xiaolei was about to tell Yu Chen that she could go and get the clothes but it looked like he had already ordered someone to get them, causing her to only give in. Besides, she could just go back to her house tomorrow to get some clothes if in case Yu Chen really didn't change his mind after tonight.
Night then came and it was finally dinner time. Dinner was served on a long table in the dining hall, which was spacious and a bit too big for a single person living inside the house. Somehow, looking at this elegant long table would make anyone wonder how awfully boring it would be if only a single person ate all alone there. Sigh… this man… never mind, let's just eat…
Luo Xiaolei then made herself busy assisting the twins while she herself enjoyed the dinner. The food that was served was obviously cooked by topnotch chefs. It looked like Yu Chen also had some serious kitchen staff with him in this secluded place.
After their pleasant dinner, Gu Wei, the man who excitedly snatched someone else's job, to be the one to go and buy the clothes, had finally arrived. He went straight to Luo Xiaolei and gave her the bags he bought.
Upon receiving it, Luo Xiaolei then brought the kids upstairs to help them bathe while Yu Chen was left in sitting on the sofa.
"What are you still standing there for?" Yu Chen looked at Gu Wei, who leisurely sat across him, obviously telling him to leave.
"Err… okay, I'm leaving." The man could only scratch his head as he looked quite disappointed. But after taking just a few steps, he stopped and looked at Yu Chen again.
"Boss, didn't you just became those twins' father? As a responsible father, don't you think you should go and assist Miss Luo? It's tough taking care of two kids at once ya'know?"
After saying those words, Gu Wei finally left but his words seemed to have hit Yu Chen and so after contemplating for a little while, he finally stood up.
The instant he entered in the bedroom, Yu Chen's eyes circled. It was because what welcomed him were two little pandas.
And the surprise didn't stop there, when the bathroom's door opened, Yu Chen's eyes turned even wider the moment he saw Luo Xiaolei's outfit.
