Prince Huang was gnawing on a chicken leg, intensely focused on his task.
Xiao ng placed so vegetables on his plate.
Prince Huang muttered sothing to Xiao ng, and the mother and son laughed together with delight.
Xiao ng turned her head to see Shuangshuang still sipping wine, while Yin Shixiu kept dipping it for her to taste.
Although they didn’t let Shuangshuang hold a cup of wine, little by little, what if...
"It’s alright, it’s alright."
Yin Shixiu saw Su Xiaong’s eyes widen and quickly reassured her with a wave.
Su Xiaong took a deep breath and decided to let it be!
After dinner, they tidied up briefly, and soon it was eight o’clock.
The TV was showing the Christmas gala, featuring many stars from the United Kingdom performing songs and dances; it was quite lively.
Prince Huang watched for a while but felt bored and started crawling all over Su Xiaong, whining to watch cartoons.
Yin Shixiu also found the Christmas gala dull, so he searched for a Christmas-thed cartoon to play.
Shuangshuang and Huang settled down imdiately; the cartoon had so profound content, but fortunately, it featured captivating visuals and lively characters.
The two kids didn’t fully understand the plot, but the scenes and fitting music were enough to srize them.
Yin Shixiu was about to say sothing to Xiao ng, only to see her deeply engrossed as well...
As the storyline reached its climax, Shuangshuang and Huang felt the emotional surge, furrowing their brows, while Su Xiaong watched intently, lips pursed.
Yin Shixiu rested his head on his hand, montarily at a loss for words.
When the film ended, Xiao ng regained her focus and quickly turned to Yin Shixiu,
"That movie was quite good! How did you find it?"
Yin Shixiu waved his phone,
"Just searched randomly."
Su Xiaong replied with an "Oh" and saw Yin Shixiu gesturing towards Shuangshuang and Huang leaning against her...
Brother leaning on her, sister nestled in brother’s arms, his hand wrapped around her...
Many things can indeed be seen from a young age.
Siblings growing up bickering and fighting, yet leaning on each other, cherishing that bond.
Yin Shixiu picked up one, Xiao ng followed suit, carrying the brother and sister back to their room.
As soon as Shuangshuang’s body touched the bed, she roused from her daze,
"Mom..."
"Hm."
"Wa wa wa..."
"What?"
Shuangshuang was so sleepy her eyelids drooped, her words blurred, leaving Xiao ng puzzled about her intention.
Until Shuangshuang lifted her foot,
"Socks..."
"Old man...gift..."
Finally, Su Xiaong understood. Even when drowsy, she wouldn’t forget to hang her socks, awaiting Santa’s gifts.
"Mom will help you hang the socks."
"Mm..."
Upon hearing Xiao ng’s assurance, Shuangshuang turned over and embraced Prince Huang, snuggling back into her brother’s arms.
Awakened by Shuangshuang’s movent, Prince Huang frowned in displeasure, but seeing it was Shuangshuang cuddling up, he shut his eyes again, pulling her into his embrace with his little paw...
After kissing each child, Su Xiaong hung new socks for Shuangshuang and Huang.
Of course, the new socks were already stuffed with candies for the little ones.
Turning off the lights, Yin Shixiu cuddled Su Xiaong as they left the room.
"If Little Treasure were here...what do you think the scene would be?"
Xiao ng suddenly asked.
Yin Shixiu chuckled, "Prince Huang would take good care of both his sisters."
Su Xiaong pondered for a mont and nodded, "Yes, the three siblings would get along wonderfully."
Nowadays, she could calmly face the loss of that child. Though recalling it still brought so heartache, mostly it was just regret.
Yin Shixiu rubbed her hair gently.
They turned off the living room lights, but the Christmas tree lit up with soft, colorful lights from their night of decorating.
Yin Shixiu held Xiao ng’s hand,
"Co, I have a gift for you."
Xiao ng had also prepared a gift for Yin Shixiu but hadn’t ntioned it, planning to surprise him, yet unexpectedly he offered his gift first...
Curious!
Xiao ng imdiately followed along excitedly with Yin Shixiu.
Yin Shixiu had Xiao ng sit by the bedside, then took a gift from the nightstand drawer.
"Open it and see if you like it."
Su Xiaong quickly unwrapped the gift, the anticipation on her face making her appear youthful.
For him to buy her things was nothing extraordinary; after all, besides household expenses, the one holding the purse strings was Yin Shixiu.
Such as this...
Under the packaging was a jewelry box, she recognized the italicized English brand on it.
Their custom wedding rings were from this brand.
Xiao ng glanced at him and then opened it...
Inside was an exquisite bracelet, truly beautiful, really beautiful...
Yin Shixiu took it out to put it on her, then he hefted her wrist, looking very satisfied, nodding,
"Really suits you."
"You’ve already bought so much jewelry..." Su Xiaong muttered.
"Don’t like it?"
"Well...I do like it, but compared to this, my gift for you feels so trivial."
Yin Shixiu pulled her into his embrace, affectionately kissing her neck,
"The Parada belt...good choice."
"Ah! How did you know?"
"You left it in the desk drawer...Honey, were you truly planning a surprise for ?"
"I..."
Su Xiaong was really fed up with her own intelligence; she had absentmindedly placed it there one day and forgot to relocate it later.
"Really a good choice?"
Su Xiaong felt uncertain, Yin Shixiu nodded,
"Hm."
"That’s great! I feared my choices would embarrass you if you wore them out..."
Yin Shixiu curved his lips,
"No rush, take your ti...you can slowly learn to choose for . Eventually, I’ll only wear clothes you buy, only fasten belts you pick."
Su Xiaong felt delighted, turned around, hugging Yin Shixiu and kissing him fervently.
The bedroom’s temperature escalated rapidly as the couple indulged in their affections.
The next morning...
"Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!!"
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong rarely indulged in oversleeping, but Shuangshuang and Huang, clad in pajamas, were pounding furiously on their bedroom door!
Awakened with a start, Xiao ng rushed out of bed, and upon opening the door, she was t with Shuangshuang and Huang’s faces brimming with excitent!
Each holding a sock, as if containing priceless treasure.
"Santa (Saint) Grandpa gave, gave presents!!"
Yin Shixiu also got out of bed, leaning over Su Xiaong’s shoulder, gazing at the brother and sister pair bouncing in excitent.
"Yes, be good, next year Santa Grandpa will co again."
"Shuang is very good, you know!"
"Yes! I’m good too!" Prince Huang quickly chid in!
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong exchanged a smile; this was their beautiful fairy tale for the kids.
They hoped the mont Shuangshuang and Huang discovered the truth behind this lovely tale would...be postponed, and postponed, and postponed even longer.
