Chapter 625: What a Coincidence

Fu Mingxue wasn’t in a hurry to sleep. Instead, she took out the pen and notebook she had brought with her.

She then set up the small, low table.

"Come on, you two, time to practice your writing. I see you haven’t written a single character this whole time. Tonight, you must write two pages each for these two characters."

The twins: ?...

Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw the stunned and unwilling expressions on the two children’s faces.

’So you think your mommy is great, huh? The moment she arrives, she makes you practice writing!’

Just then, Fu Mingxue didn’t let her off the hook either. "Mom, I have a task for you. You have to supervise them every day as they write and learn their characters. They’re at the age where they need to start learning."

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’Can she not drag me into this?’

’How old are they, anyway?’

"Oh, right. We should send them to preschool next year!"

Mrs. Fu: ...?

"They’re still so little. What do you mean, preschool?"

Fu Mingxue immediately replied, "They’re not little. Any later and they’ll be ’older children.’"

When Mrs. Fu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched. ’Older children, my foot.’

An hour of writing practice plus studying was quite tiring.

After the twins finished writing, Mrs. Fu pulled them away to wash up.

When they lay back down on the kang bed, they snuggled up right next to their mother.

This time, there was no need for Fu Mingxue to tell a story; the two kids were asleep the moment their heads hit the pillows.

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’I was all ready to tell them a story, and they just fell asleep like that?’

’Youth really is a wonderful thing. You can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.’

The next day, the twins woke up even earlier than Fu Mingxue.

"Mommy, it’s time to get up."

The moment Fu Mingxue opened her eyes, she saw her two children lying on their stomachs, watching her.

"Mommy, you’re awake! Time to get up."

Qin Keke’s voice was soft and sweet.

Qin Hao was much more sensible. He said to his sister, "Don’t be noisy. Let Mommy sleep."

"But Mommy’s awake." Qin Keke pointed with her little hand. "Mommy, look at you! Your eyes are sparkling like stars in the sky, and your face is like the red apples Grandma bought. Mommy, you’re the prettiest mommy Keke has ever seen."

These sweet words filled Fu Mingxue with delight.

"Oh, my dear, my Keke is a beautiful little lady, too. And Hao Hao is a handsome little man."

The twins were very happy too.

Just then, a voice came from outside. Fu Mingxue listened carefully—’Why does that sound like Qin Wenhao’s voice?’

Before she could listen any more, the door curtain was pushed aside, and Qin Wenhao’s tall figure appeared.

The twins saw him too, and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Fu Mingxue was still in bed, and she was truly dumbfounded to see Qin Wenhao at this hour.

"Why are you home at this time?"

"I finished my mission and happened to have some time, so I hitched a ride home."

Fu Mingxue asked curiously, "You drove through the night?"

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Yeah, there were three of us taking turns driving."

Fu Mingxue gave him a thumbs-up. "Impressive. Why don’t you go get some rest first—"

"I don’t need to. We took turns, so I got some rest last night. Why are you sleeping in here?" Qin Wenhao was also quite surprised to find his wife sleeping in his mother-in-law’s room.

He had just gotten back, and when his mother-in-law told him, he came straight to this room without a second thought.

However, he was still very happy that his wife had also come back to Beijing this time.

He hadn’t expected the two of them to be so in sync and for it to be such a coincidence.

"It’s been a long time since I slept with my mom, and it’s nice to be here with the kids too—it’s great!"

Realizing she was still in bed, Fu Mingxue prepared to get up.

Seeing this, Qin Wenhao said, "I’ll go outside and wash up first then."

Fu Mingxue waved her hand. "Okay, you go on ahead!"
