The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 248 Keeping Your Promise

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen decided to sleep with their daddy tonight as a special time before leaving.

After Chen Xi finished bathing the children, he suddenly felt like teasing them.

"It seems that Dad is still your favorite. You stick to him as soon as you get home. Hey!"

She pretended to sigh and turned her head away, but secretly observed the children's reactions out of the corner of her eye.

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen immediately became anxious. Just as Xiaochen was about to open his mouth to speak, Xiaoyang quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and he could only make "mmm" sounds.

Xiaoyang knew clearly that Xiaochen wanted to stay and accompany his mother.

But their parents taught them since they were young that they must fulfill their promises.

Since you have agreed to sleep with Daddy, you can't go back on your word.

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen's faces were full of confusion, which made Chen Xi, who was observing secretly, couldn't help laughing.

"We promised to keep our word. Go now and don't make your father wait anxiously."

Chen Xi deliberately frowned, and "rudely" pushed the two little guys out of the door, one in each hand, and then closed the door with a "bang".

Outside the door, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment, then held hands and turned to walk towards Xie Tianyi's room.

Chen Xi looked through the crack in the door, watching the two small figures gradually disappear into the distance. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise, his smile full of kindness and relief.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Chen Xi was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard Xiao Chen's voice and thought it was his hallucination.

Before she could react, Xiaochen was already holding her hand and standing beside her, proving that it was not an illusion.

But didn't Xiaoyang and Xiaochen go to find Xie Tianyi? Why did they come back?

Before Chen Xi could ask, Xiao Yang staggered into the room holding a pillow.

"Xiaoyang, where did this pillow come from?"

Chen Xi asked doubtfully. She had arranged everything in the house by herself. This pillow looked particularly familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

This scene added a bit of warmth and joy to the originally peaceful night, and the Chen Mansion was filled with strong family affection and love.

Wait, isn't this the pillow with the cloud and crane pattern embroidered on it that Xie Tianyi loves most? The delicate stitches, every part of which exudes familiarity and warmth, unexpectedly appeared here at this moment.

What was even more unexpected was that as soon as Xiao Yang placed the pillow on the bedside, the twin sisters Mo Hua and Mo Qin walked in holding a quilt with a warm color and a texture that obviously matched the pillow perfectly.

The pattern on the quilt cover is like peach blossoms blooming in spring, with a fresh and elegant pink color. It complements Xie Tianyi's pillow and is obviously carefully selected.

"Master, the young master specifically ordered us to move these to your room."

Mo Hua and Mo Qin spoke in unison, with a hint of childish seriousness in their voices. Their movements were gentle and respectful, as if they were carrying out an important mission.

Xiao Chen stood aside, with an expression of an adult on his face, and gave orders seriously: "Sister Mo Hua, Sister Mo Qin, just put it on the bed, thank you."

After the bedding was properly arranged, the two maids bowed and respectfully retreated to the door, waiting for the next instruction.

"Thank you for your hard work. Okay, you should go to bed early."

Chen Xi said gently, his eyes full of sympathy for his subordinates.

After the two of them bowed, they quietly left the room, leaving behind the tranquility of the room and the story that was about to unfold.

"Didn't you agree to sleep with Daddy? Why did you move his quilt over here? How will Daddy sleep at night?"

Chen Xi squatted down, looked at the two little guys gently, and asked patiently, with a hint of curiosity and worry between his brows.

"We promised to sleep with Daddy, but we didn't want to make Mom sad, so we came up with a solution. The three of us sleep together. This way we can keep our promise to Daddy and Mom won't be sad."

Xiaochen blinked his big eyes, looking a little proud.

"Mother, aren't we very smart?"

After the two little guys finished speaking, they pursed their lips tightly, with anticipation glittering in their eyes, like two kittens waiting for their owner to pet them, eager to get Chen Xi's approval.

Hearing this, Chen Xi rubbed his forehead helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to this pure yet complicated childishness.

At this time, in Xie Tianyi's bedroom, he had just returned from the side room after washing up, but was surprised to find that the bedding and pillows that were originally on the bed were completely gone.

At first, he was worried, thinking that his house had been robbed, but after a careful inspection, he found that apart from the bedding, there was no other loss in the house. This situation was really puzzling.

Xie Tianyi was puzzled and decided to go directly to Chen Xi's room to see if there was a similar situation. He completely forgot that he was just casually wearing an outer robe and his clothes were in disarray.

The door was not locked, so Xie Tianyi pushed it open and walked in. He was about to ask, "Chen Xi, do you have any..."

However, his words stopped abruptly as the sight before him froze him in place.

Her bedding and pillow were lying comfortably in Chen Xi's arms. Her eyes were also filled with surprise and confusion. She obviously had not expected him to appear at this moment.

"You... took all my bedding?"

Xie Tianyi asked doubtfully, his reason told him that Chen Xi had no reason to do this, but the scene before him made it difficult for him to understand for a moment.

"Xie Tianyi, things are not what you think, please listen to my explanation."

Chen Xi spoke hurriedly, trying to clarify the misunderstanding.

Xie Tianyi's voice softened, with a barely perceptible smile: "Okay, I'll listen."

Chen Xi secretly groaned in his heart, as if silently calling for help.

Oh my god, someone can come and save me! Ever since Xie Tianyi proposed to marry me, the atmosphere between us has become subtle. Now that he sees me hugging his quilt, he won't mistakenly think that I'm deliberately teasing him, right?

With his thoughts in a mess, Chen Xi simply threw the blanket in his hand onto the bed, then turned to look at the two little guys, with a helpless tone: "You two, explain to me what's going on!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen quickly ran to Xie Tianyi and told him everything about their little scheme. Their serious looks made people laugh.

After listening to this, Xie Tianyi stood there with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

I originally thought that I had gradually won Chen Xi's heart, but I didn't expect that all this was just a prank by two little brats.

"Don't mess around like this anymore. Do you understand?"

There was a rare sternness in Xie Tianyi's voice, and it was obvious that he did not approve of this behavior.

Faced with their father's seriousness and their mother's reproach, the two children instantly felt like punctured balloons, with grievances and apologies welling up in their hearts.

"We're sorry, Daddy. We're sorry, Mommy. We promise we won't do this again."

The two little heads hung their heads, and their voices were full of sincerity and remorse.
