Chapter 91 Shy, Don't Look!
Chapter 91 Shy, Don't Look!
When Tan Zhengchu saw the seven babies come out, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red to the roots of his neck.
Su Yingxue quickly let go of Tan Zhengchu's hand, got off him, and hurriedly straightened her clothes, her hair also a little messy.
But these kids are really cute, they kept circling around the two of them.
A child quickly covered Qibao's mouth, his face turning red, and said anxiously, "Qibao, don't laugh, it's embarrassing."
Another child covered her eyes with his little hands and cried out in a childish voice, "Don't look! That's Daddy and Mommy kissing."
Other children gathered around, some snickering, others watching Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue with curiosity.
Su Yingxue reacted quickly, grabbing a cushion and placing it in front of Tan Zhengchu to cover his embarrassing area.
Tan Zhengchu glanced at Su Yingxue gratefully, and Su Yingxue winked at him.
They both saw a hint of helplessness and a smile in each other's eyes.
Qibao struggled free and ran to Tan Zhengchu.
Her rosy cheeks were like a ripe apple, and her eyes were bright and sparkling, like two black gems.
She opened her arms wide, jumping up and down and shouting, "Daddy, hug me! Mommy, hug me!"
Tan Zhengchu looked embarrassed. He scratched his head and looked to Su Yingxue for help.
Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She found Tan Zhengchu's helpless expression extremely endearing.
Tan Zhengchu hesitated for a moment, and was about to bend down to hug Qibao, but then felt embarrassed and froze in place.
Seeing that Tan Zhengchu didn't move, Qibao went over and took his hand, repeatedly calling out, "Hug me, hug me."
This scene was both funny and embarrassing.
The other children watched from the sidelines and joined in the commotion, making the whole scene incredibly lively.
Qibao stood in front of Tan Zhengchu, looking at him with bright eyes.
Her little arms were stretched out straight, eagerly anticipating that Tan Zhengchu would pick her up as usual.
Tan Zhengchu, on the other hand, was extremely embarrassed.
She was only focused on hugging the pillow tightly, as if it were a lifeline, and had no intention of hugging Qibao at all.
Qibao waited for a while, and when she saw that Tan Zhengchu did not react, her little mouth twitched and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
She looked like a wronged little girl, cute yet heartbreaking.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue quickly squatted down, hugged Qibao tightly, and gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Qibao, be good. Daddy isn't feeling well today, so let's not bother him."
Qibao sniffled, her voice trembling with tears, and asked, "What's wrong, Daddy?" Su
Yingxue smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a minor ailment. I'll be fine in a bit."
As she spoke, she looked at the other babies, a bright smile spreading across her face. "Come on, shall we play some games together? Mommy has lots of fun games I want to play with you all today."
The babies' eyes lit up when they heard that.
Erbao jumped up excitedly: "Okay, okay, Auntie, what game should we play?"
Su Yingxue's eyes darted around, and she said mysteriously, "Let's play hide-and-seek. Auntie will hide first, and you guys will find."
The babies cheered and agreed.
Su Yingxue deliberately ran around the room, occasionally peeking out a corner of her clothes, which made the babies laugh out loud.
She spent time playing with the babies, hoping to dispel Qibao's earlier unpleasantness.
Tan Zhengchu calmed down a bit by then.
He looked at Su Yingxue, reached out and gently tapped her cheek with his finger, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said in a low voice, "Hmph, I'll deal with you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's face flushed red.
She glared at Tan Zhengchu and said with some annoyance, "What are you saying in front of the child? Watch your words."
Erbao and Liubao are quick-witted; they immediately sensed that something was amiss and exchanged a glance.
Liu Bao's eyes darted around, and he ran up to Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, saying in his childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy, Great-Grandma is calling us to eat."
This one sentence cleverly diffused the awkward atmosphere.
Looking at Su Yingxue, Tan Zhengchu felt that she was like a ripe peach, fresh and delicious.
His eyes were filled with infatuation as he stared intently at her.
Su Yingxue felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, pursed her lips, but her eyes held a hint of sweetness.
The unspoken understanding and affection between the two were fully revealed in these subtle gestures.
Su Yingxue broke the awkward atmosphere and said with a smile, "Let's go have dinner. But we have something to do tonight after dinner."
Liu Bao tilted his head and asked, "Mommy, where are we going?"
Su Yingxue replied, "We might have to go see our great-grandfather. He's sick, and we need to go see him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bao's little face was full of worry: "How could my great-grandfather be sick? Is he feeling very uncomfortable?"
Su Yingxue patted Liu Bao's head: "Don't worry, baby. When your great-grandfather wakes up, we'll take you to see him."
Tan Zhengchu bent down, picked up Qibao, and said to everyone with a smile, "Let's go eat."
The family of nine walked toward the main building in a lively and cheerful manner.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the main building, Tan Zhengchu could hear Old Madam Tan and the housekeeper chatting inside.
Grandma Tan said, "Zhengchu and Yingxue should get their marriage certificate and have their wedding soon. The two of them are so close, we can't delay it."
The butler replied with a smile, "Madam, please don't worry about it. The young master and young mistress certainly have their own plans."
Grandma Tan snorted, "What could they possibly be planning? We need to hurry up with this; I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson."
Tan Zhengchu carried Qibao into the door and deliberately said loudly, "Grandma, don't forget, Yingxue and I haven't registered our marriage yet."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue immediately glared at him, thinking to herself, "What if I upset the old man?"
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Tan turned around, glared at Tan Zhengchu, and warned, "Listen up, boy, we don't want anyone in our family except Yingxue. Don't you dare cause any trouble."
You need to get this done quickly, don't keep me waiting too long.
Tan Zhengchu walked up to Grandma Tan with a smile and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, I know, it's part of the plan."
Grandma Tan rolled her eyes at him: "All you do is talk, you need to take action."
Hearing Grandma Tan's words, Su Yingxue felt as warm as if the sun were shining on her heart.
She knew how fortunate she was to be recognized and accepted by the Tan family.
This love and acceptance moved her to tears, filling her with a sense of fulfillment.
Tan Zhengchu held Qibao steadily in one arm, put his other arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
He leaned close to Su Yingxue's ear and whispered, "You don't know yet, but these old people really like you."
If they knew we hadn't gotten our marriage certificate yet, they'd be urging us every day.
"You'll be in for a world of hurt then."
