Chapter 1378: Gentler Than Ever Before

Just as she was feeling her heart race with nerves and jitters, unexpectedly, Xiao Yize stepped closer to her again.

His handsome face under the moonlight, that gentle, watery gaze and expression, made her heartbeat go completely off rhythm.

But the rhythm itself was a happy one.

"Mama, Mama, what are Yize-gege and Auntie doing? Why are they looking at each other like that?"

The little princess let out a soft, milky question.

Yan Xinxin smiled at that, scooping the little princess up into her arms.

"Auntie and your future Uncle are about to fulfill the promise they made to your Daddy. As for this promise, let’s leave it to your Auntie and future Uncle to secretly carry it out by themselves, okay?"

She finished speaking and looked over at Mo Chuxi and Mo Chenxi.

"Xi, Xi, let’s go down first with Nana and the others."

"Why do they have to secretly fulfill it? Didn’t we say we were all going to watch together?"

Little Mo Chenxi frowned in confusion, his tiny sword-like brows creasing.

Mo Qingning’s cheeks flushed even more under the moonlight.

"Alright, baby son."

Mo Chuxi stepped forward, bent down, and scooped the little handsome guy up in his arms.

"Just think of it as giving your Auntie some face. If we still don’t leave, her face is going to turn as red as a monkey’s butt."

"..."

Hearing Mo Chuxi’s teasing, Mo Qingning’s face instantly went scarlet.

"Mo Chuxi, you’re the monkey’s ass..."

"Hmm? Do you want us to stay and watch?"

"..."

Mo Chuxi calmly glanced back at her with a counter-question, and Mo Qingning’s words died in her throat; she surrendered in seconds.

Yan Xinxin shook her head with a laugh and turned around, holding the little princess.

"Chun, Daddy and Mommy will take you and your brother to look at the stars, okay?"

"Okay~ Chun wants to see the stars."

"Chun is so good, hurry and give Mama a kiss."

"Mua~"

The little princess wrapped her arms around Yan Xinxin’s neck, very obediently and generously planting a kiss on Yan Xinxin’s cheek.

Watching this scene in front of him, Mo Chuxi’s eyes revealed a hint of envy. He hadn’t expected that in the very next second, a soft kiss would land on his own cheek as well.

He lifted his deep eyes, slightly widened in surprise, and saw the little handsome guy in his arms, cheeks flushed red, looking at him.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, then little Mo Chenxi tilted his head up proudly, acting as if nothing at all had happened.

All of a sudden, Mo Chuxi felt as if a warm current flowed through his chest, so very warm.

Turns out, it’s not just daughters who are little cotton-padded jackets; sons are too.

After Yan Xinxin turned and left with a few steps, the rooftop fell quiet all at once, with only the rustling sound of the sea breeze blowing past.

Mo Qingning’s heart was still racing, though her face had eased a little.

She hurriedly pulled back her hands that Xiao Yize was holding so tightly, turned away a bit in embarrassment, and cupped her cheeks to cool the heat.

"Um, uh... anyway, Saozi and the others have all left, so we..."

Mo Qingning was just about to chicken out, but before she could finish the sentence, her small hand was caught by Xiao Yize again.

He stepped forward, stopping her from turning away.

Still in the middle of her chaotic heartbeat, Mo Qingning saw the tall boy suddenly right in front of her. Her flustered gaze accidentally crashed into those starry gray eyes of his, and in that instant it felt like pink bubbles exploded in her chest!

Xiao Yize looked at her, striding right up to where she stood.

"Whether Xi and the others are here or not, it’s all the same to me."

"..."

Mo Qingning grew even more nervous.

"Qingning."

He called her softly, more tender in this moment than he had ever been before.

Mo Qingning slowly lowered her lashes and silently nodded her head.

Xiao Yize raised his hands, cradling her cheeks, and his perfectly handsome face magnified bit by bit in front of her eyes...
