Chapter 179 - You're here

Get married? A blush was seen on Fan Xiao Yao's cheeks when she was asked of the question.

She was already ready to get married to him and more than that, she was even willing to start a family. At the thought of it, she couldn't help but get excited.

"Should we?" She asked back as she shyly looked at him.

She started at him as he carried the child in his arms. He looked great, he was amazing with the kids as well. Huang Li was perfect. He was prepared to start a family with her. What more could she ask?

"I am the one asking you." He replied with a grin.

She raised a brow and grinned back at him, grinning playfully. "And I asked you back." She stepped forward and stood in front of him.

"Mwa! Ma!" Lu Xueren suddenly stretched his short arms towards her, wanting to be carried by her again.

Fan Xiao Yao's smile became stiff. She could never get used to being called 'Ma' by the little child that belonged to her best friend. She could never replace her as a mother, she didn't want to.

Just then, they were interrupted by the sound of a doorbell.

"I'll get it." She quickly said, relieved that she was saved from that awkward situation.

Huang Li knew how uncomfortable she would become whenever the boys called her that way. He couldn't blame them. Every time the boys called her that, he would either save her from it or stay quiet.

When Fan Xiao Yao opened the door, she saw Lu Mello standing outside with his usual tired-looking eyes. Dark bags were seen under his eyes since he had been working late ever since his wife disappeared. 

A small smile appeared on his lips, "I'm here to take the kids back."

"Oh... They're currently having their afternoon nap..." She was a bit hesitant to give them when she saw how pale he was. She can't just allow him to drive the kids home when he was looking like he was going to faint any second now.

"Why don't you come in first? You really looked tired. You can have some rest first." She moved to the side, allowing him to enter. "I'll prepare the guest room."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." He replied as he entered. He took off his shoes and worked the indoor slippers that Fan Xiao Yao gave.

"Yaoyao, who is it?" Huang Li asked as he went out of the living room while carrying the boy, Lu Xueren.

Lu Mello turned their way and when he saw his son, a small light flashed in his dead tired eyes. His hardened features even softened. 

"Oh... Mello, you're here." Huang Li said with a small smile. Just like how he normally did whenever he arrived, he went to Lu Mello and gave him the child.

"Dada!" The boy happily exclaimed, hugging his father by his neck when he was carried by him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;re-here_48313493971071808">#&apos;re-here_48313493971071808</a> for visiting.

"You've gotten heavier. Again." Lu Mello chuckled, holding up his son in his arms. 

Fan Xiao Yao smiled at the scene. Ever since Shi Enxi disappeared, Lu Mello had been smiling less but whenever he was in the presence of his sons, he retorted back to his usual self. 

She headed to the guest room to prepare the bed. She knew how tired and sleepless Lu Mello was after all. The guest room was always used by him since she insisted on letting him sleep there before leaving. A little rest and sleep were more than enough just to get one's body going again.

After she fixed the bed, she went out of the room and went to the living room where Lu Mello was sitting on the sofa, having a few chats with her lover, Huang Li.

"The room is prepared. If you want to take a bath, I've already placed some spare clothes inside." Fan Xiao Yao said after she stood beside Huang Li.

Lu Mello lifted his head and gave her a smile, grateful that they were helping him out in taking care of the kids. He could have just hired a nanny for the kids he didn't trust them. Even if Nanny Mo Jing were to take care of the two kids, she wouldn't be able to protect them if something happened. He was just being careful after what happened. He wanted to hide his sons away from the public's eyes as well. He didn't want to let them know that he had kids just to be safe.

"Xue'er, it's time for you to have your nap time too." Fan Xiao Yao added.

Lu Mello stood up and gave his son for her to carry. He looked at the child one last time before he went to the guest room.

Fan Xiao Yao gently cradled the boy in her arms, helping him fall asleep faster.

"I'll be going to the supermarket. Will you be fine here?" Huang Li asked, turning his gaze to her.

She chuckled and replied, "Of course. Let's have beef stew later."

"Alright."

And with that, Huang Li left the place, leaving her with the kids.

After Fan Xiao Yao managed to put Lu Xueren to sleep, she carefully, gently, and slowly placed him back inside the crib, beside his brother.

She stared at them with a soft gaze for a few seconds but was disturbed when she heard her phone rang. She hurriedly went and took the cellphone that was laying on the edge of the coffee table. She made sure that Lu Mello was in his room while Huang Li has already left before she answered the call.
