Chapter 230 Daddy and Mommy are so loving
When Su Yingxue woke up, she opened her eyes and immediately saw Xiao Qi, who was looking at her intently with a warm look in her eyes.
"Xiao Qi, you've come to our place already? Why are you awake so early?" Su Yingxue asked softly, her voice still a little sleepy.
Little Qi blinked and answered in her childish voice, "Mommy, I slept with you all last night!"
She leaned closer to Su Yingxue, wrinkled her little nose, and suddenly said, "Mommy, you smell of alcohol!"
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then remembered what happened last night, and her face turned slightly red.
She realized that Tan Zhengchu had helped her change her clothes, but the smell of alcohol couldn't be completely removed.
She reached out and gently pinched Xiaoqi's cheek, laughing as she said, "You little rascal, you have such a keen nose."
Xiaoqi was amused and giggled, her clear laughter echoing in the room.
The laughter startled Tan Zhengchu, whose thick, dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked somewhat pained.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue quickly made a "shh" gesture to Xiao Qi and whispered, "Xiao Qi, keep your voice down, Daddy is still sleeping."
Xiao Qi immediately covered her mouth and nodded obediently.
With the sound gone, Tan Zhengchu's brows gradually relaxed, and his breathing returned to normal.
Su Yingxue gently tucked the blanket around him, her eyes filled with heartache.
She knew that Tan Zhengchu had been too tired these past few days and needed to rest.
"Xiao Qi, let's let Daddy sleep a little longer, okay?" Su Yingxue whispered.
Xiao Qi nodded, tiptoed off the bed, and followed Su Yingxue into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, Tan Zhengchu was still fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
Su Yingxue took Xiao Qi's hand and tiptoed downstairs, heading towards Old Mrs. Tan's villa.
Upon entering the villa, they saw Liu Bao and Da Bao sitting at the table diligently doing their homework, while Er Bao and several other children were playing nearby.
As soon as Xiaoqi saw them, she jumped up happily: "Brother Liubao! Brother Dabao! Have you finished your homework? We're going to the zoo today!"
Liu Bao looked up, pushed up his small glasses, and said with a serious expression, "The zoo? Isn't that a place for little kids?"
Da Bao chimed in, "That's right, we have homework to do."
Xiaoqi pouted, looking a little unhappy: "But the zoo is so much fun! And everyone goes together!"
Liu Bao and Da Bao exchanged a glance. Although they thought going to the zoo was a bit childish, they nodded in the end after seeing how happy Xiao Qi was.
"Alright, I've almost finished my homework anyway, let's go together," Liu Bao said helplessly.
The other children, including Erbao and Sanbao, cheered immediately upon hearing that there was something to do: "Great! Let's go to the zoo!"
Su Yingxue smiled gently as she looked at the children's excited expressions.
She gently patted Xiaoqi's head and said, "Then you two hurry up and get ready, we'll be leaving soon."
Xiaoqi jumped up happily, grabbed Liubao and Dabao's hands, and chattered excitedly about what animals they were going to see later.
The room was filled with the children's laughter, as if even the air itself had become lighter.
Su Yingxue stood aside, watching this scene, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Da Bao and Liu Bao neatly packed their workbooks into their schoolbags, zipped them up, and carried them on their shoulders.
The other children also packed up their things, stood up, and their faces were filled with expectant smiles.
Xiao Qi jumped up excitedly, grabbed Su Yingxue's hand and said, "Mommy, I've never been to the zoo before! Today I can finally go!"
Su Yingxue smiled and patted her head gently, saying, "Then you must have fun today!"
She walked into the children's room, her gaze sweeping over the neat desks and beds, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your rooms are so clean, it seems you're all obsessive about cleanliness."
Liu Bao pushed up his glasses and answered seriously, "Daddy taught us this. He said that a clean environment makes people feel better."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly, thinking to herself, "She really is exactly the same as Tan Zhengchu."
Today, Liu Bao wore dark jeans, a light gray sweater, and a long hooded cotton coat. He looked handsome and energetic.
Da Bao was wearing cargo pants, a fleece-lined sweatshirt, and a backwards baseball cap. When he smiled, he revealed a set of white teeth, making him look exceptionally charming.
The other children were also dressed neatly, their casual clothes making them look energetic and handsome.
Da Bao walked up to Su Yingxue and asked expectantly, "Mommy, tomorrow is our birthday party, and Grandma Tan has already made preparations at the hotel. Do you think... we can have it?"
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, thinking that her grandfather had just passed away, and she was initially hesitant.
But seeing the children's expectant eyes, her heart softened, and she said softly, "Of course you can. It's your birthday, you should celebrate it properly."
Upon hearing Su Yingxue's words, Xiaoqi immediately clapped her hands happily: "Great! We can eat cake tomorrow!"
Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh as she looked at her innocent and carefree appearance.
The four of them went downstairs together and headed towards the restaurant.
Grandma Tan was already sitting at the dining table. When she saw them come in, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face.
She instructed the maid to prepare breakfast, while cautiously asking, "Yingxue, what do you think about the children's birthday party tomorrow? If you're not in a good mood, we can reschedule it for another day."
Su Yingxue shook her head and said gratefully, "Grandma Tan, thank you for your love for the children. I'm sad about Grandpa's situation... but the children's birthdays are also important, and I don't want to disappoint them."
Grandma Tan nodded, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes: "It's so good that you think that way. People get old and eventually die; it's the law of nature. I'm the same; I'll leave one day too."
Su Yingxue held Grandma Tan's hand and said softly, "Please don't say that. I hope you can live to be a hundred years old and stay with us forever."
Grandma Tan smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, okay, we'll all be fine."
Breakfast was served quickly, and Xiaoqi couldn't wait to take a sip of milk, leaving white milk stains on the corners of her mouth.
Seeing this, Liu Bao picked up a tissue and carefully wiped her clean.
Xiao Qi blinked her big eyes, leaned closer to Liu Bao, and asked, "Brother, am I clean?"
Liu Bao's eyes were full of doting affection as he said softly, "Yes, it's clean now."
Xiaoqi smiled happily and continued to enjoy her breakfast.
At the dining table, the children's laughter and conversation mingled together, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
