BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 Dangerous Territory
"Did you miss me? I missed my little bunny very much," Ru’s voice was so gentle that it seemed like someone had taken over her body.
The little guy placed his hands on Ru’s face as he did last night and giggled as he said, "Ruru..."
"Huh? My little Bao spoke. Did you hear that Ah-Jie?" Xu Mey had jumped up from her seat in surprise. Tears had pooled in her eyes as she held her son’s hand and kissed it incessantly.
"I forgot to mention, he talked last night as well," Jie mentioned offhandedly while patting the back of his daughter.
"What did he say?" Xu Mey asked curiously and excitedly.
"Ruru," as if knowing his mother’s question, the answer was given by little Bao himself.
Jie arched his brows and said, "That’s exactly what he said last night."
Xu Mey frowned before looking at the way her son was comfortable in Ru’s arms and said, "He’s calling your name, right Sensei?" Ru nodded her head in response. Suddenly Xu Mey chuckled and said, "Now, I know why he was so quiet until now."
"What do you mean?" Ru asked distractedly since her attention was mostly on the little bunny in her hands. Even Xiao Zhiren was being disregarded completely to the sidelines.
"My little Bao turned out to be just like me," said Xu Mey and Ru arched her brows at her in question, waiting for her to continue. "I also opened up when I met you. My son is also learning from your presence. No wonder he’s my son."
Ru found her reasoning to be very unreasonable but decided not to say it out loud. It was not the time to argue. It wouldn’t have a good effect on the kids’ minds. She was being mindful of her words and tone. She might have never taken interest in kids before but she knew what a single word could do to an innocent heart and mind.
"Look, little Juan... That’s your biased and crazy godmother. See, how she is showering all the love on little Bao but doesn’t even care that little Juan is also here." Jie spoke as if he was talking to his daughter but everyone could tell who was supposed to hear those words.
Ru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Give her to me. This godmother is not biased at all. I was waiting for her to stop crying. You know how much I despise tears."
"I know," Xu Mey raised her hand to announce. "How can I forget the way you used to glare at me whenever I cried? It was beyond scary."
Ru cleared her throat and said, "Hold my little bunny for a while."
Xu Mey extended her hands to take Little Bao from Ru’s arms but the little guy wasn’t complying at all. The collar of Ru’s dress was tightly fisted in little Bao’s small hand as he refused to let go. "Little Bao, let Sensei go." Xu Mey tried to coo a bit but the little guy didn’t listen. He looked at Ru with such glossy eyes that Ru’s heart shook violently.
She held him back and said, "You can let go. I can hold both of them." For a second, she thought he was gonna cry and her heart didn’t feel at ease. It was like a protective feeling in her rose and she didn’t want to see a single tear in his eyes. She adjusted little Bao in one arm and took little Juan from Jie who was looking at her curiously. Her brown eyes were a shade darker than her brother but they held the same curiosity.
On the sidelines, when Xiao Zhiren saw this interaction he was too stunned to even move. Never even in his wildest dreams had he imagined to see Ru like this with anyone. She seemed so natural with the twins. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he was feeling apprehensive and envious of them.
"Haiz! Now, I finally figured it out," Xiao Zhiren sighed out anxiously.
"What did you figure out, Mr. Xiao?" It was Jie’s question.
"I finally found my real love rival. It’ll be hard to get her attention if your son is involved," he said thoughtfully. "I suddenly don’t have a wish for kids. What if they stole my little chili?"
Jie laughed out hearing Xiao Zhiren’s own worries. It was funny seeing a grown man fighting for attention. And the rival was a two years old boy. In a way, he could understand Xiao Zhiren’s feelings better. He was also feeling like that last night when he saw the look in Ru’s eyes.
It was like she was ready to bring the whole bloody world at his son’s feet. Just what kind of God forsaken connection did they have?
Xiao Zhiren walked behind Ru and said, "Love, am I ever gonna be hugged like this?"
Ru scowled at him saying, "Don’t tell me you’re even jealous of these kids? I’m their godmother. Do you know what that means?" Xiao Zhiren stayed quiet to hear her reply. "That means, I have the official right to spoil them. Hehe... I finally have a chance to train someone to be as wicked as me."
Xiao Zhiren shook his head at her excitement and kissed her head saying, "They both are really cute."
"Aren’t they?" Ru spoke with a sparkle in her eyes which Xiao Zhiren couldn’t look away from.
While they were lost in their own world, another person who came to witness this scene was left dumbfounded. "Bro, when did you have two kids? You didn’t even tell your brother. I’m hurt."
Xiao Zhiren looked at his brother and punched his arm saying, "Think before you speak, Ran Zi."
Ji Syaoran shrugged his shoulders and said, "It’s not my fault that you guys made a picture-perfect family. Anybody can get the wrong idea."
"Picture perfect?" Xiao Zhiren questioned.
Ji Syaoran nodded and said, "Yup. You looking at Queenie with a loving gaze and Queenie holding two little buns with a gentle look while leaning her head on your shoulder. Isn’t that what a picture-perfect family looks like? Although I never experienced it, I’m sure this is the one."
"Syaoran, you’re disturbing my godson and goddaughter." Hearing Ru’s voice, Ji Syaoran immediately zipped his lips and locked it before throwing the key in the sea. He still remembered the badass Ru from last night. He had no wish to become to get on her wrong side. She was the dangerous territory, he had no wish to trudge through.
