Chapter 11 Getting close to her
Xia Nuan was shocked when she heard the news. The collapsed scenes made her feel hurt as if a knife were piercing her heart.
A scene of twelve years ago and the present scene suddenly overlapped. She felt it was happening again.
That year, Zhongshan suffered horrible earthquake and mudslide. Xia Nuan’s house was destroyed. Her mother took her sister Xia Yan to a safe place, while her father died when looking for her in the mudslide.
She was isolated on a hill that was about to collapse, crying for her father.
“Take my hand, or you will fall!” A young man came towards her regardless of danger. He was wearing a raincoat and hat, and gave a hand to Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan struggled to stretch out her hand to him.
All wet at that time, she was unconsciously dragged into the arms of the boy, and later when she woke up, she was sent to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, the boy disappeared.
She didn’t know his name, and even his appearance was vague. But the figure wearing a purple raincoat was always kept in her mind, and she would never forget it.
“Wuyou and Nianci wet the bed! G.o.d! They also s.h.i.t! What are you doing, Xia Nuan!” Maid Lian came over and interrupted the thoughts of Xia Nuan. Her voice was filled with anger.
Xia Nuan walked over quickly and panicked. The cradle was dirty. She hurried to pick them up one by one and put them on the stroller, cleaning up the stain on the cradle.
Lian pushed Xia Nuan away angrily, “Mr. Ye will be here in a minute. You’d better bathe the two babies quickly!”
Xia Nuan went to the bathroom to turn on the water and mixed the hot water well. She put Wuyou and Nianci into the bathtub, taking a bath for them.
Outside, Lian moaned about Xia Nuan while clearing up the cradle, “You are so stupid. All you know is to be in a daze all day, don’t you know your duty? G.o.d! I’ll only change the sheets, and you need wash the cradle and sheets by yourself.”
Xia Nuan didn’t refute. It was her fault indeed this time.
Splashing!
Splashing!
Wuyou and Nianci beat in the bathtub with their hands. They laughed loudly and happily with little milky voice of humming. The water splashed on Xia Nuan’s face and body.
“Sweeties, will you stay still?” Xia Nuan talked to them with her soft voice, although babies at their age couldn’t understand at all.
“Hee-hee.” Wuyou touched Xia Nuan’s hair with his hands.
Xia Nuan kissed him on the face.
With two children in her arms, Xia Nuan went out and saw Ye Sichen, but she didn’t know when he came in. Xia Nuan was at a loss and stood there, “Mr. Ye, you’re back.”
Ye Sichen glanced at her and frowned. Then he said “uh-huh”.
He looked a little haggard, and his delicate face was a little grim.
Ye Sichen took off his coat and walked in the room, “Put them on the bed first, and you go change your clothes.”
Xia Nuan didn’t know that her body was soaked by the splashed water until then. Her skin was tightly attached to her clothes.
Suddenly, Xia Nuan was embarra.s.sed. She carried Wuyou and Nianci and went to the cradle to put them down. Wuyou lay down conformably. Nianci, however, still hugged her tightly.
She seemed hungry, rubbing in front of Xia Nuan’s chest and purring piteously.
“Nianci, be a good girl. I will come back to you once I change my clothes. Look, your father is back.” Xia Nuan heled Nianci and asked her to look at Ye Sichen.
Looking at his daughter, Ye Sichen, whose weary face was filled with warm and spoiled laughter, walked over and clapped his hands towards Nianci. He said softly, “Nianci, come here, give Daddy a hug.”
Ye Sichen was a little thin. Under the white shirt was a pair of black casual pants. His lean waist made his body slenderer. It was said that he would be exhausted after he finished a concert.
Nianci shook her head like a rattle-drum. She firmly grasped the collar of Xia Nuan, and her small face rubbed against her.
Xia Nuan was wet all over. Even if she wanted to breastfeed, she had to change the clothes first, or Nianci would catch a cold. Of course, Ye Sichen was also concerned about that.
Thus, he took Nianci from Xia Nuan. His gentle move had a strong sense of force.
“Wow!” Nianci cried unwillingly. Although she was held by her father, her hand grasped Xia Nuan tightly.
Xia Nuan tried to break off her hand slowly lest she hurt Nianci’s palm.
Ye Sichen also comforted her patiently.
Given the situation, Xia Nuan had to stay close to Ye Sichen, which made her nervous and anxious.
“Bang”. Nianci took off a b.u.t.ton in front of Xia Nuan’s chest.
The full snow-white breast was suddenly exposed, her face was like the morning glow. She said disjointedly, “Nianci, let…let go.”
Nianci seemed shocked and scared, so she let go of Xia Nuan.
Ye Sichen looked away and turned over with Nianci in his arms.
Xia Nuan went to her bedroom in awkwardness. Lian came in and brought some suits for her, “Mr. Ye told me to give you this. Come on, Nianci is hungry now.”
Xia Nuan said thank you and then changed her clothes in a short time.
It was neither too big nor too little to wear. The clothes fitted well.
She was more embarra.s.sed to think that she bared her breast in front of Ye Sichen.
It’s nothing. It’s really nothing. Ye Sichen had already met countless women. She certainly meant nothing to him.
Xia Nuan comforted herself like this.
Luckily, when Xia Nuan went to feed Nianci, Ye Sichen had already left the room. Obviously, it was Ye Sichen who deliberately walked away to avoid embarra.s.sment.
After dinner, Ye Sichen went out under the escort of his safeguards and a.s.sistants.
Xia Nuan didn’t know what he went out to do at first. Later she heard that he visited the victims in the earthquake-stricken areas.
There were no other celebrities like Ye Sichen who paid attention to the security and economy of poor areas. Xia Nuan knew that Ye Sichen owned the admiration of countless people not only for his singing and dancing abilities, but also for his personality charm.
Xia Nuan called the Munic.i.p.al Hospital of Feicheng and learned that her mother was in good health. With no worries, she comforted Wuyou and Nianci to sleep. The moonlight shined through the curtain and the fresh air spread in the bedroom. Everything was so quiet and elegant.
Xia Nuan followed the babies and gradually fell asleep. She didn’t wake up until a woman screamed outside the villa.
