Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Candlelight Dinner

"Honey..."

Yuxin clung tightly to Xiao Fei, burying her face into his chest. Her muffled voice called out to him softly but said nothing more.

Xiao Fei could sense Yuxin’s mood.

She seemed to feel very aggrieved.

"What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing..."

What could she even say?

That she felt disappointed because her husband hadn’t come home sooner?

That it was the first time the kids were sad at night without their dad, and it made her mood sink along with theirs?

Xiao Fei was late because of unavoidable traffic, not for any other reason. If she acted up over that, wouldn’t it make her seem completely irrational?

Smoothing out her emotions, Yuxin lifted her head and smiled at Xiao Fei, "You must be hungry, right? I’ve prepared dinner already, but it probably needs reheating."

"Wait a second, you can go take a shower first."

"It’s been a tiring journey back home~"

"The shower can wait for now."

Xiao Fei gently placed Yuxin back on her feet and raised his hand to play with a strand of her long hair draped over her chest.

"If I’m going to shower, I’d rather take one with you."

The loving words between husband and wife instantly dispelled the melancholy in Yuxin’s heart. She smiled sweetly at Xiao Fei.

"Then I’ll go heat up the food."

"I’ll go with you."

Just like Yuxin couldn’t bear to be apart from Xiao Fei at that moment, Xiao Fei also didn’t want to leave Yuxin’s side for even a minute.

Hand in hand, they went into the kitchen together. Xiao Fei leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, smiling as he watched his wife bustling about.

"Actually, my car is still stuck in traffic. I called a designated driver and rode on his electric scooter to get back first. The driver’s still out there driving my car."

"Oh, he must be working pretty hard then."

Yuxin gave Xiao Fei a playful thumbs-up for his cleverness.

"Honey, earlier when you weren’t home, the kids were feeling pretty down."

She recounted how the children had been clamoring for their daddy.

Thinking about it now, she realized she hadn’t had any effective way to deal with it and had to comfort them over and over again.

Luckily, the kids were well-behaved and understanding. They didn’t actually cry and had gone to bed obediently after being a bit down for a while.

After hearing Yuxin’s retelling, Xiao Fei told her something softly before turning and heading to the kids’ bedroom.

The room was quiet, the soft light of the bedside lamp casting a gentle glow.

The kids were lying soundly asleep in bed.

Xiao Fei carefully approached the window and bent down to gaze at the three children.

Since they were triplets, their facial features were strikingly similar. Someone unfamiliar might even mix them up.

"Daddy..."

Suddenly, Sanbao murmured in his sleep.

The little one seemed to be dreaming, and Xiao Fei was part of it.

Xiao Fei gently brushed a kiss on Sanbao’s forehead, then kissed Da Bao and Er Bao as well.

As he straightened up, he turned to see Yuxin standing in the bedroom doorway, watching him with a serene, joyful expression of happiness on her face.

When Xiao Fei stepped out of the bedroom and quietly closed the door, Yuxin finally said, "Honey, I’ve reheated dinner."

"Let’s go eat together."

"Alright~"

Walking into the dining room, Xiao Fei was a bit surprised by the sight before him.

His dear wife had prepared a lavish dinner and even turned off the dining room lights, leaving only a few candles flickering on the table.

She’d even opened a bottle of red wine.

"Well, what do you think? Do you like it?"

Yuxin looked up at Xiao Fei with expectant eyes.

Her delicate face glowed under the candlelight, a mix of beauty and a hint of mystery.

"What made you think of doing this?"

"Life needs a sense of ritual, and sometimes couples need to do something to strengthen their bond."

As she spoke, Yuxin shyly averted her gaze.

Xiao Fei took her hand and said, "In that case, my dear wife, after you."

Taking her hand, Xiao Fei led her to a chair and pulled it out for her.

Yuxin chuckled softly, and after Xiao Fei had adjusted the chair, she sat down and looked up at him with a smile. "Thank you."

"It’s my honor to serve you."

With that, Xiao Fei turned and took a seat across from Yuxin, raising his wine glass.

"Cheers."

Clink.

Their glasses met with a soft chime.

Yuxin wasn’t much of a drinker, and after a small sip of red wine, her cheeks quickly turned rosier, glowing like ripe cherries, tempting anyone who saw her.

The candlelit dinner was filled with sweetness and joy for the couple.

After dinner, Xiao Fei took it upon himself to wash the dishes.

When he finished and returned to their bedroom, he found that Yuxin had already filled the bathtub with warm water and was standing at the bathroom door, casting him a flirtatious smile.

"You must be tired today, honey. Go take a nice soak~"

She playfully twisted her tongue as she spoke, her voice syrupy sweet.

"May I invite the beautiful Miss Tang to join me?"

Yuxin tilted her head and stared at Xiao Fei with a half-smile. "Flirting with me, huh?"

"You guessed it."

"Should I call the police?"

"I’ll still do it next time."

"Hahaha... Hehe... Hahahaha..."

Yuxin burst into laughter but had no time to react before she was scooped up in Xiao Fei’s arms.

Amid their playful banter, the two entered the bathtub together. The perfectly warm water instantly enveloped them in comfort.

Before long, the sound of splashing water echoed through the bathroom.

Another night of passion, and the two of them lay contentedly in bed, their eyes closing in satisfaction.

...

Life in the days that followed was peaceful and filled with quiet joy.

Nothing particularly notable happened.

As the Lunar New Year approached, the festive atmosphere grew stronger by the day.

Xiao Fei began making preparations to return to his hometown in Sichuan Province for the holidays.

Since He Tong and Bai Zheyan’s parents had arrived in Shanghai, with the help of the elderly couple taking care of the kids, Little Yu no longer needed to stay at Xiao Fei’s house.

Her time spent with the kids shifted instead to their early education classes.

As a result, the children became more excited than ever about going to their lessons.

When Xiao Fei dropped the kids off at their classes, he sometimes ran into Bai Zheyan or his mother.

During these encounters, he often inquired about Little Yu’s mom’s recovery.

The outcome was better than he’d expected. Ever since Yang Buhui’s grandfather had applied acupuncture treatments, Little Yu’s mom seemed more reactive to external stimuli.

Sometimes, when Bai Zheyan softly called her name nearby, they could see He Tong’s fingers twitch slightly.

According to Yang Buhui’s grandfather, after some time, with a bit of luck, Little Yu’s mom might fully regain consciousness.

For this, Bai Zheyan’s family expressed profound gratitude to Xiao Fei—Bai Zheyan nearly knelt before him in thanks at one point.

Finally, shortly before Lunar New Year, just as Xiao Fei was about to take his wife and kids home, a piece of news arrived for them.

Little Yu’s mom... had woken up.
