Chapter 624: All on the Same Kang

"We love it!" the two children said in unison.

Their little expressions were filled with delight.

Fu Mingxue played with them for a while, until Mrs. Fu finished her chores outside and came in.

When Mrs. Fu saw the heartwarming scene of the mother and her two children, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. ’Just as I thought, children really do need their mother.’

’It’s not something a grandmother like me can replace.’

’It’s just that both husband and wife are so busy with work.’

’And they spend more time apart than together.’

’Honestly, she truly wished the couple would have a child of their own, especially since she could still help look after it.’

’Looking after three versus two—it wouldn’t make much of a difference.’

’After all, it’s not like she had any other work to do.’

’But seeing how they were so busy every day that they didn’t even have time to be together as a couple...’

’She couldn’t bring herself to mention it again.’

’Oh, well. She’d just let them be. They must have their own plans.’

"It’s getting late. You must be tired from traveling these past few days. You should get to bed early. Don’t you have to wake up early tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the twins, who had been playing, stopped what they were doing.

Qin Keke immediately crawled over to Fu Mingxue’s side, tilted her head up, and asked adorably, "Mama, can brother and I sleep with you tonight?"

The siblings had a great relationship; even with such a wonderful opportunity, she didn’t forget to include her brother.

Of course, little Qin Hao was also looking at his mother with an expectant expression.

Clearly, both siblings hoped they could sleep with their mother.

That kind of eager, innocent look in their eyes was truly hard to refuse. Even Mrs. Fu, seeing it, couldn’t help but want to speak up for them.

Fu Mingxue, naturally, found it hard to refuse as well.

She reached out and squeezed little Keke’s hand. "Of course you can. How about this? I’ll sleep in this room tonight. This big kang is large enough for the four of us to sleep together."

As soon as she said this, the twins immediately started cheering, while Mrs. Fu looked on, a bit stunned.

"Yay! Grandma, Mama, me, and brother will all sleep together! Our whole family will sleep together!"

Little Qin Hao also grinned so wide that all his baby teeth showed.

The two little ones’ joy was infectious, and Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but smile.

At that moment, Fu Mingxue asked, "Mom, what do you think?"

Mrs. Fu shot her a playful glare. "What can I say? As long as you all are happy! It’s big enough for all of us anyway."

’Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she and her daughter had slept on the same kang.’

Fu Mingxue smiled. "Then it’s settled. You two play for a bit. Mama is going to tidy up the room, and I’ll be back a little later to tell you a story."

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’Why don’t you just take the two kids back to your own room to sleep!’

’She did not want to be forced to listen to a story, not one little bit.’

’She had no desire to subject her ears to such torture.’

Fu Mingxue got up, ready to leave.

Qin Keke piped up, "Mama, you have to come back soon! What if Keke falls asleep?"

Fu Mingxue pinched the little one’s cheek. "Alright, Mama will be back in a little while."

’Oh well,’ she thought. ’I was originally going to go back to my room and review some documents for a bit.’

’Since I’m finally back, I might as well spend time with the children.’

’Even a queen of the grind doesn’t have to be grinding every single day, every single moment.’

After going back to her room to organize a few things, she washed up, changed into her pajamas, and returned half an hour later.

Seeing her return so quickly, the twins cheered with joy.

Watching the two children’s happy reactions, Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but smile. "It looks like they’re truly happy you’re back. I thought that after you were gone for so long, kids their age might get a little distant. But there’s not a hint of that from them."
