Chapter 106 Playing House
After dinner.
Qibao held Grandma Tan's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, let's go upstairs and play house after dinner."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Tan secretly groaned inwardly.
She wanted to find an excuse to slip away, so she smiled and said, "Qibao, Great-Grandma is a little tired."
Qibao immediately saw through the old lady's thoughts, and her little mouth pursed.
Before long, her eyes filled with tears, and she said, feeling wronged, "Grandma, don't you like me anymore?"
Grandma Tan felt extremely sorry for him and quickly comforted him, "Little darling, don't cry. Grandma will play with you. Grandma loves playing with Qibao the most."
Qibao then stopped crying and started laughing.
She threw herself into Grandma Tan's arms and nuzzled against her affectionately: "Grandma is the best! I knew Grandma loved me the most."
We can play a game where I'm the doctor and you're the patient; I'll take care of you, just like you take care of me.
Grandma Tan smiled helplessly, thinking to herself: This clever little devil, there's really no way to deal with her. It seems I'll have to play house with her.
Seeing how much Grandma Tan doted on Qibao, Su Yingxue smiled and said to Qibao, "Qibao, don't let Great-Grandma play with you too late today. Great-Grandma is old and needs to rest early."
Qibao blinked her big eyes and asked with a puzzled look, "Why? Mommy, I still want to play house with Great-Grandma."
Su Yingxue patted Qibao's head: "Baby, Great-Grandma is very tired today, we should let her get some rest."
Although Qibao didn't quite understand, he still obediently nodded.
Then, she tugged at Su Yingxue's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Mommy, can I sleep with you and Daddy tonight?"
Tan Zhengchu said with a smile, "Qibao, you can play with your great-grandmother for a while longer. We'll come find you later."
Upon hearing this, Qibao pouted and said unhappily, "Daddy, are you disgusted with me? Don't you want me to sleep with you?"
Seeing Qibao's aggrieved look, Su Yingxue quickly said, "Baby, why don't you sleep with us tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Qibao immediately jumped up happily and took Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu's hands and left.
Along the way, she imitated the family games she had seen on TV before.
One moment they're hopping around like little rabbits, shouting, "Bouncing around, so lively!"
A moment later, it spun around like a little top, stretching out its arms as if it were a flying bird, humming a cheerful little tune.
Looking at Qibao's happy face, Su Yingxue couldn't help but recall the lonely times when she didn't know who the child's father was.
At that time, she looked at other families enjoying their happiness and felt envious.
Tan Zhengchu seemed to see through her thoughts, held her hand tightly, and whispered, "Darling, from now on, our family will live happily and never be separated again."
As soon as they entered the villa, Qibao became like a little sun, bringing liveliness to the entire house.
She ran to Tan Zhengchu's side, tugged at his clothes, and said excitedly, "Daddy, I want to ride a big horse, you carry me on your back."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and squatted down, letting Qibao ride on his back.
After Qibao mounted the "big horse," he clung tightly to Tan Zhengchu's clothes with both hands, his little bottom bouncing back and forth as he shouted, "Giddy up! Giddy up! Big horse, run fast!"
Her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and her face flushed with excitement.
Tan Zhengchu carried her around the room, and Qibao would wave her little hands from time to time, as if she were waving a horsewhip.
She turned to Su Yingxue and called out, "Mommy, come play with me! It's so much fun!"
Su Yingxue blushed and said with a smile, "Baby, Mommy is happy just watching you play."
Qibao refused and ran over to pull Su Yingxue's hand: "Mommy, come on, let's play together."
Su Yingxue was pulled to Tan Zhengchu's side, and Qibao directed, "Daddy, take Mommy and run together."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and said, "Okay, hold on tight."
Su Yingxue shyly hugged Tan Zhengchu's neck, and the family's laughter echoed in the villa.
Tan Zhengchu carried Qibao to Su Yingxue's side and said with a smile, "Ride however you like tonight."
Qibao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that her father was really good to her.
Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea and said to Tan Zhengchu, "Daddy, let's crawl under the covers together later and give Mommy a fright."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and nodded: "Great idea."
After a while, Tan Zhengchu and Qibao quietly walked to the bedside and slipped under the covers.
They were suppressing their laughter under the covers, waiting for Su Yingxue to come over.
Su Yingxue walked into the bedroom, fixing her hair as she said, "What are you two little devils up to now?"
As she walked to the bedside to sit down, Tan Zhengchu and Qibao suddenly jumped out from under the covers and yelled in her ear, "Wow!" Su Yingxue screamed in fright, clutching her chest, "You scared me to death!"
Qibao and Tan Zhengchu laughed so hard they almost fell over. Qibao said, "Mommy, we scared you, haha."
Su Yingxue pretended to be angry and said, "You two are too naughty, all you do is play these pranks."
Tan Zhengchu said with a smile, "Honey, don't be angry. We're just adding some fun to our lives."
When Qibao got tired of playing, he crawled to Su Yingxue's side, nestled in her arms, and said sweetly, "Mommy, I want to sleep next to you."
Su Yingxue smiled and hugged Qibao, kissing her forehead: "Baby, go to sleep."
Tan Zhengchu watched this scene with a face full of doting affection.
He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, saying to Su Yingxue, "My dear, I feel so happy to have you all here. I promise that from now on, our family will be happy every day, and I will always protect you."
After saying that, he gently stroked Qibao's hair.
Qibao closed his eyes, a smile on his lips, as if he had already drifted off to sleep.
Tan Zhengchu looked at her, his eyes filled with fatherly love.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and the other six children stood in the doorway.
Da Bao whispered, "Daddy, Mommy, we want to sleep with you too."
Erbao chimed in, "Yes, we want to be with you all today too."
Su Yingxue smiled and opened her arms wide: "Come on, my darlings."
The six children ran over cheering and climbed onto the bed.
For a moment, the bed was bustling with activity.
The children chattered excitedly about the fun things that happened at school that day.
Some were explaining newly learned knowledge, some were imitating the teacher's expressions and actions, and others were arguing about the rules of recess games.
Su Yingxue looked at them, her eyes filled with tenderness and love.
Looking at the seven adorable children, her heart felt as if it were filled with warm sunshine.
Every smile and every little gesture of theirs is like the most beautiful scene in the world.
Su Yingxue gently stroked the children's hair.
Listening to their noise, I felt no annoyance at all; on the contrary, I thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
She watched as the children gradually quieted down, each one drifting off to sleep with a contented smile.
Their faces looked even more innocent and lovely in the moonlight.
