Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Are the Kids Pretending to Sleep?

Ding!

As the elevator doors opened, Tang Yuxin and Xiao Fei hurriedly walked into the living room at home.

The lights in the living room were on, and the sound from the TV was very low.

On the sofa, Xiao Jun was sitting with Tang Dingyuan, chatting about something.

"Dad, where are the kids?"

As soon as she stepped into the living room, Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but ask.

Tang Dingyuan pointed upstairs.

"They just fell asleep. Your mom carried them upstairs."

Phew...

Hearing this, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin let out a sigh of relief.

The two quietly made their way to the second floor, just in time to see Mrs. Tang and Wang Fang quietly closing the bedroom door and coming out.

"You’re back?"

Seeing Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin, Mrs. Tang and Wang Fang immediately came up to greet them.

Mrs. Tang said, "The children are already asleep. Don’t wake them up."

Xiao Fei glanced at the time. It happened to be the kids’ usual bedtime—exactly 9 p.m.

"We won’t wake them. We’ll just take a quick look."

Xiao Fei said softly.

He and Tang Yuxin carefully walked to the bedroom door and then cautiously opened it.

The room was pitch black, with only a dim light from the bedside lamp casting a soft glow.

Exchanging a look, the couple silently tiptoed inside.

Standing by the window, they looked down at the kids sleeping on the bed.

The three little ones were lying side by side, looking very well-behaved.

The tiny figures lay still under the blankets.

Tang Yuxin felt a strong urge to kiss and hug her babies, but seeing them sound asleep, she held back the impulse and prepared to leave.

However, just as Tang Yuxin was about to turn away, Xiao Fei suddenly grabbed her hand.

Then, Xiao Fei pointed at the children and mouthed a word.

"Pretending."

The kids were pretending to sleep?

Tang Yuxin squinted her eyes.

She turned back to stare at the children on the bed. After a while, she noticed something was off.

Er Bao and Sanbao’s faces were starting to turn red, and Da Bao’s eyelids were twitching.

These three little ones were definitely pretending to sleep. Er Bao and Sanbao were holding their breath out of nervousness, to the point of nearly running out of air.

Xiao Fei simply sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "Stop pretending. Daddy and Mommy are back."

In an instant, the three children opened their eyes wide.

When they saw Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin sitting by the bed, the kids who had been lying so still immediately sat up and threw themselves at Xiao Fei.

Er Bao, in particular, acted like a little monkey, trying to climb up to Xiao Fei’s head. Unfortunately, after several attempts, she couldn’t quite manage it.

"Daddy... Daddy, you’re back!"

"Daddy, Mommy...!"

The children chirped excitedly.

At this moment, Tang Yuxin couldn’t care less about lecturing the kids. Since they weren’t asleep, she hugged them one by one, kissed them, and rubbed her face against theirs.

"Babies, I’m sorry. Mommy and Daddy shouldn’t have left you behind today."

After placing the children back on the bed, Tang Yuxin spoke with a tone full of guilt.

The children looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

Da Bao said, "Mommy, it’s okay."

Da Bao sat on the bed, Er Bao clung to Xiao Fei, and Sanbao grabbed Tang Yuxin’s clothes, unwilling to let go.

After soothing the kids for a while, Xiao Fei suddenly asked, "Why were you pretending to sleep?"

As expected, once the question came up, the kids immediately looked evasive.

"Daddy... will you be mad at us?"

Sanbao asked timidly.

Xiao Fei patted her head. "As long as you tell the truth and don’t lie, Daddy won’t be mad."

"Hmm..."

Relieved, the little ones finally spoke up.

Da Bao raised his hand slightly. "Because it’s nine o’clock now. Daddy said good kids have to go to bed at this time."

Er Bao chimed in. "Even though we wanted to wait for Daddy and Mommy to come back... we were worried Grandpa, Grandma, and the others would be upset if we didn’t sleep."

Sanbao concluded, "So we decided to pretend to sleep so Grandpa, Grandma, and the others wouldn’t worry~."

"Such good kids...!!!"

Tang Yuxin quickly pulled the three little ones into a hug.

How could these tiny munchkins be so thoughtful and obedient?!

They were just over two years old, yet they were already considering the adults’ feelings. Even though they cried earlier in the day because they couldn’t see Mommy and Daddy—which was entirely normal for kids their age—they still tried their best.

They even sat on small stools by the door, saying they wouldn’t eat until Mommy and Daddy came home!

They even pretended to sleep so the grandparents wouldn’t worry!

Tang Yuxin couldn’t hold back anymore, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was overwhelmed.

"Mommy... why are you crying?"

Seeing Tang Yuxin in tears, the kids panicked.

Da Bao tried to wipe away her tears.

"Did we do something wrong? Sorry, Mommy..."

"No, no, my babies, you didn’t do anything wrong. Mommy is happy, so happy that she cried."

She kissed the three children again and wiped her tears away.

Sanbao was puzzled, tilting her head. "Happy people cry too?"

"Yes, they do."

Xiao Fei ruffled Sanbao’s hair.

"Because you babies made Mommy very happy, Mommy cried. Hmm... Daddy is very happy too."

"Then why didn’t Daddy cry?"

Xiao Fei: "..."

"Ahem!"

Coughing, Xiao Fei looked slightly embarrassed. "Because Daddy is a man. Real men don’t cry easily. Da Bao, you’re a man too. Remember, don’t cry so easily in the future, okay?"

"Okay~"

Da Bao nodded earnestly.

"Daddy, Mommy, why are you so happy?"

"Because you babies are so adorable!"

"Are we the most adorable in the whole wide world?"

"Yes~ you are~!"

"Then... promise never to leave the most adorable babies in the whole wide world ever again."

The couple couldn’t help but laugh at Da Bao’s words.

This little one even knew how to trap them with words.

"Okay, Daddy and Mommy promise you."

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin said in unison.

"Pinky swear~"

Sanbao stretched out her tiny hand.

Seeing this, Da Bao and Er Bao quickly joined in, stretching out their hands too.

As a family, Mommy, Daddy, and the three babies locked pinkies together.

Afterward, Xiao Fei said, "Alright, now you don’t have to pretend to sleep anymore. It’s really time to go to bed now, okay?"

"Daddy and Mommy won’t leave us again, right?"

After Tang Yuxin tucked them in, Sanbao still asked anxiously.

Tang Yuxin’s heart softened.

"Mommy’s not leaving. Mommy will stay here and sleep with you."

After saying that, she turned to Xiao Fei with a meaningful look.

Xiao Fei understood immediately.

"Daddy will stay and sleep with you too, okay?"

Hearing this, the kids were ecstatic, practically bubbling with joy.

Cheering, the little ones squeezed toward the middle of the bed, trying to make as much space as possible on the sides.

These kids...

Didn’t they realize the bed was plenty big?

But how could Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin refuse such a sweet gesture?

"Just wait a moment. Daddy will go speak with Grandpa and Grandma before coming back, alright?"

"But Mommy’s staying, right?"

"Mommy’s not going anywhere. Don’t worry."

Tang Yuxin quickly pinched Sanbao’s cheeks.

"Okay then, Daddy, go ahead~ Go, go~"

Seeing this, the three little ones even waved goodbye to Xiao Fei.
