I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 69 - The bright full moon and him

After their blissful dinner, the four sat in a line before the bonfire. The atmosphere remained warm and they had such pleasant conversations, although it was pretty much Luo Xiaolei and Little Rui doing the story telling while Yu Chen and Little Ran were their silent but attentive audience. They talked about all sorts of trivial topics that Little Rui brought up and it was heartwarming. If anyone saw them at that moment, they would have thought that Yu Chen and Luo Xiaolei were a married couple and the twins were their children. No one would've thought that Yu Chen was a stranger to Luo Xiaolei and the twins just a few days ago.

Luo Xiaolei saw that the time was already pretty late for the twins to still be up and about so she could only break this blissful moment. "Oops, it's bed time now for you guys. You have school tomorrow so you boys need to go to sleep."

Yu Chen also nodded in agreement so after tidying up, the four of them headed back to the house. Luo Xiaolei held Little Rui's hand while Little Ran who was already dozing off, was in Yu Chen's arms.

"Yay! That was fun!" Little Rui exclaimed as he and Little Ran climbed up on the bed. They were already dressed in the new yellow pajamas Lou Xiaolei bought them earlier. Little Ran just nodded his answer but his face was brighter than ever before. He obviously looked happy.

"Ranran, I have something to tell you." Little Rui was smiling and he looked like he was plotting something as he leaned closer to his younger brother.

When Luo Xiaolei stepped out of the bathroom, she was already changed. She wore a large t-shirt and long pajama pants which covered her legs down to her ankles. She was dressed so conservatively.

She saw that Yu Chen wasn't in the room yet so she quickly walked towards the bed to secure her spot when… Er… Little Rui, was this your plan, huh? Obviously… ahh… this little…

The two little buns were already sleeping and they had taken over one end of the bed, obviously telling her that they want their mommy and daddy to sleep close to each other this time. Looking at them, Luo Xiaolei could almost hear little Rui saying the words, 'mommy, you can have our daddy tonight'.

Luo Xiaolei didn't want Yu Chen to see this so she attempted to carry Little Ran to put him in the middle when suddenly, the door clicked open. The devil, no, daddy panda entered. Wait, he wasn't wearing the panda sweatshirt anymore?

Yu Chen was wearing a white shirt and gray pajama pants. He looked alluringly manly and gorgeous again, making Luo Xiaolei feel like he was turning the room even brighter, blinding her.

As his eyes fell on the two little buns, Luo Xiaolei scratched the back of her neck. "They immediately fell asleep. They must have been tired." She said as she laughed a bit awkwardly.

"Looks like it." Yu Chen casually replied as he went and sat on the edge of the bed.

Seeing that Yu Chen looked like he didn't mind anything at all, Luo Xiaolei raised a brow. T-this man…

"Sigh… Little Rui, you can't sleep near the edge of the bed cos you might fall off." Luo Xiaolei whispered but she purposely said it loud enough for Yu Chen to hear. She was about to carry him when Yu Chen stood beside her.

"Let me." He said and Luo Xiaolei pressed her lips together. Good…

After tucking the little guy in the middle, Luo Xiaolei then lay down in her usual spot.

"Goodnight," she said and Yu Chen also replied with a soft "goodnight".

Luo Xiaolei expected Yu Chen to leave the room since it was still pretty early for adults like them, especially to a tycoon like him to go to bed, but to her surprise, the man carefully lay down too. Err… I truly thought that this Yu Chen was a night owl so why was he sleeping early?!

While Luo Xiaolei was a bit puzzled, a little hand crawled on her arm, trying to lift it.

"Mommy, daddy, your hands." The voice said and Luo Xiaolei eyes widened as she looked at the supposed-to-be asleep Little Rui. Did he wake up when Yu Chen carried him? Or could it be that… this little…

Luo Xiaolei stared at Little Rui's closed eyes and when she saw his lashes still moving, she bit her lip. She was speechless. She could only face palm herself in her mind. My little bun, are you truly selling me out to your newfound dad?

"Of course, so sleep now, okay?" Luo Xiaolei could only give in. She closed her eyes again and she voluntarily searched for Yu Chen's hand. Well, she didn't want to look at the beauty across her right now.

In no time at all, the hand she was searching for held hers and just like last night, his big hand, his palm and his long fingers felt so warm. Honestly, Luo Xiaolei didn't know why she even instantly fell asleep last night. She had felt a shock last night as she touched his skin despite the fact that they've held each other's hand before.

Tonight was no different from last night and yet, strangely, here she was, feeling like his hand was a newfound lullaby, lulling her to sleep until she gradually succumbed into dreamland.

Halfway through the night, Luo Xiaolei was awakened. Her eyes slowly opened. She couldn't feel the warmth in her hand anymore.

When she looked at Yu Chen's spot, the man was no longer there. Her brows creased as she subconsciously rose to look around when a cold breeze sent shivers on her skin.

Her eyes fell towards the source of the wind and she saw that the door going through the small veranda was slightly open.

Luo Xiaolei climbed out of the bed and she slowly approached the door. She peeked and when she saw Yu Chen leaning on the railing with his eyes looking up the sky, Luo Xiaolei started to walk back towards the bed. But before she even took a step, the man noticed her.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" he asked. His deep husky voice rang through the quiet night.

"No, you didn't." She could only reply when Yu Chen spoke again.

"The moon is so bright tonight." He said and Luo Xiaolei stepped out the door and leaned on the railing as well.

"You're right, it's really beautiful." But somehow, your beauty is overshadowing the moon right now Mister devil.

Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but admire both the moon and the man beside her and somehow, she didn't think that Yu Chen was the type of man who appreciated nature's beauty like this.

But the most intriguing thing was that, this scene; the bright full moon and him… was…
