How could Xiao Jinyan leave at this moment?

"Susu isn’t crying; she might even fall asleep any moment now."

"But if Susu wakes up and nobody pays attention to her, she will definitely cry later."

This was the experience Shen Chuwei had gained over the past three months accompanying the babies.

Taotao, when he wakes up, is usually quiet and untroublesome.

But when Susu wakes up, it’s mostly because she’s hungry, and if no one tends to her, she feels wronged, and once she feels wronged, she’ll cry.

Sweat kept beading on Xiao Jinyan’s forehead as he spoke hoarsely, "If nobody pays attention to her, she’ll just fall asleep. Look how soundly Taotao is sleeping."

Shen Chuwei carefully took up a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "With Susu’s capability, she’ll wake her brother up in a while."

Xiao Jinyan, seeing that she still had the mind to wipe his sweat, could no longer care about it at this moment.

"We’ll deal with it when she wakes him up."

When Shen Chuwei wanted to speak again, Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and sealed her lips with his.

At that moment, in the little bed.

Susu played with a small bell for a while and, finding that no one came to accompany her, felt wronged and pouted.

Kicking her legs, she hit something soft and squishy, found it amusing, and kicked it a few more times.

Taotao’s little face, having been kicked several times, showed signs of waking up.

As she kicked about, her body shifted positions, her head touched the crib railings, and Susu found it uncomfortable, so she moved her little body.

In no time, her little head rubbed against her brother’s, and the hand holding the bell reached out to pinch her brother’s face, the bell clanging loudly in her hand.

A vein throbbed on Xiao Jinyan’s forehead. Who had put the small bell beside Susu?

Always causing mischief!

At this moment, in the Qiancheng Hall

Xiao Jinyu suddenly sneezed.

The movements of Lady Han, who was beside him, paused, and she looked up at him with concern, "What’s wrong?"

"No, it’s nothing." Xiao Jinyu’s face turned red. Who was thinking about him?

With Susu’s harassment, her brother was successfully awakened, and the crisp sound of bells by his ear really disturbed his sweet dreams.

"Yi ya yi ya!" Susu pinched her brother’s chubby face and, instinctively leaning over, nibbled him a couple of times.

Having his face covered in drool by his sister was normal for Taotao; he took the bell from his sister’s hand, awaiting the rescue of his royal parents.

After nibbling for quite a while, Susu, having nibbled nothing, grew anxious and wronged; her delicate brows furrowed in frustration, her little mouth pursed, and she cried.

"Wah wah..."

Shen Chuwei met eyes with an aroused Xiao Jinyan, see, I told you so.

Xiao Jinyan, feeling helpless, sat up and, after dressing himself, went to the crib to pick up his distressed daughter.

Susu, held by her father, immediately stopped crying, as if she guessed that her father would take her to find her mother.

Taotao and Susu ought to be taken care of by a wet nurse.

Having read the Fetal Education Book, it mentioned that closeness with a child’s parents could be beneficial for the child’s development.

Because of Xiao Jinyan’s experiences, Taotao and Susu had lived with their parents since birth.

However, it’s beneficial for the children,

But it poses a certain obstruction to their parental affection.

Shen Chuwei watched as Xiao Jinyan held his daughter with a look of silent complaint and couldn’t help but laugh.

"They say a daughter is her father’s past-life sweetheart—that’s not at all untrue."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Chuwei, who was laughing so hard she was bending forward and back, and then at his daughter, who was grinning in his arms. He didn’t think of his daughter as a past-life sweetheart; rather, she seemed to have come to cause trouble.

He had planned to continue once his daughter was fed and satisfied, but upon seeing Chuwei asleep in bed with her eyes closed, and his daughter lying sideways in her arms, quiet after being satiated,

Xiao Jinyan shook his head helplessly, bent down to pick up his daughter, and found that her little hand was tightly clutching Chuwei’s clothes, refusing to let go. A child’s grip is quite strong, impractical to free without using force.

Xiao Jinyan, though longing for some alone time with Chuwei, couldn’t bear to forcefully pry his daughter’s hand away.

He turned and also brought over his son, reasoning that if he couldn’t embrace Chuwei alone, it would be fair to treat both children equally, letting his son experience the comfort of sleeping with his parents.

It was probably also because of his own experience that, even though he spoiled his daughter, he didn’t neglect his son’s feelings.

Taotao had just fallen asleep; when placed on the big bed, children instinctively can sense the warmth from their mother. Even with his sister between them, it didn’t prevent him from wanting to stay close to their mother.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the three family members sleeping on the inner side, a pair of children with their mother. It was something he had never anticipated.

The frustration he felt from being interrupted twice before dissipated because of this beautiful picture.

The next day, Shen Chuwei was not awakened by hunger but by someone pinching her.
