An Luo Wei woke up in a familiar embrace.
Warm, solid, and absolutely safe.
She opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Lu Bei Shen's strong chest.
She... was sleeping in his room. Sleeping in his arms.
Memories of yesterday flooded back. The rooftop. The confession. The kiss of reconciliation.
Her face was red.
She unconsciously moved. The arms that were hugging her waist immediately tightened.
"Good morning, Wei Wei."
A hoarse voice, carrying a hint of laughter, rang out above her head.
She looked up. He was awake, propping his chin up, smiling at her. That smile... was no longer sarcastic or domineering, but the gentleness of Bei Shen Jing.
"Good morning... Jing." She mumbled, hiding her face in his chest, embarrassed.
Luc Bac Than laughed, a deep laugh. He leaned down, kissing her hair. "Thirty thousand years... I can finally hold you awake like this."
This sweetness... made Vi Vi feel like she was dreaming.
Knock... knock...
A timid knock sounded.
The door opened slightly. A small head, with soft hair, poked in.
It was Luc Thien An.
The little boy saw "dad" and "mom"... hugging each other on the bed.
The little boy was stunned.
Then... the brightest smile ever, lit up the angel's face.
"Ah!"
The little boy shouted, threw away the pillow, ran over, used both hands and feet, and climbed onto the bed.
The little boy didn't choose anyone. He... lay down, right between the two of them.
"Dad." The boy turned to Lu Beichen and smiled.
"Mom." The boy turned to An Luowei and smiled.
"Let's sleep together!" The boy declared, happily patting the mattress.
An Luowei blushed so much that she was about to smoke.
But Lu Beichen laughed loudly. He stretched out his long arms and hugged both his "wife" and "child" into his arms.
"Yes. Let's sleep together." He said, kissing Xiaotao's forehead. "From now on, we'll sleep together every day."
Mrs. Li and the maid stood at the door, and when they saw this happy "family of three", they secretly wiped away their tears.
The ice... had really melted.
That morning's breakfast.
No more "cold war". No more "ignorance".
Lu Beichen sat next to An Luowei, and Xiaotao sat in her lap.
Mrs. Li intended to serve as usual, but Lu Beichen waved his hand.
He... peeled a lobster himself and put it in Wei Wei's bowl.
Wei Wei was surprised. "I... can do it myself."
"Be good. Eat." He used the same "domineering" tone from before, but this time, it was filled with indulgence. "You're too skinny."
The phrase "You're too skinny" (Motif Sam Sam).
The last time she heard it, it was an insult.
This time she heard it... her face turned red again. She lowered her head and ate obediently.
He turned around again and patiently fed Xiao Tao a spoonful of bird's nest porridge.
The scene of "President Lu" - "Tyrant" - "Emperor" - gently feeding porridge to her child... almost made all the servants in the villa break all the dishes.
After breakfast, Assistant Zhang came to report on the work.
While listening, Lu Beichen calmly peeled an apple (of course for Wei Wei).
"Assistant Zhang." He suddenly said.
"Yes, Mr. Lu!"
"Inform the Haigang branch." He glanced at An Luowei, a hidden smile appeared. "Gu Mingzhe's 'project' has been 'completed excellently'. Send him back to the headquarters."
An Luowei raised her head abruptly. He...
He kept his word!
"Appoint Gu Mingzhe..." Lu Beichen continued, "as Deputy Design Manager. Consider it a 'reward' for completing the task well."
Assistant Zhang: "...Yes???" (What task?)
Weiwei looked at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me." Lu Beichen handed her the peeled apple. "I am a person who rewards and punishes fairly."
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "He has 'taken care' of Mrs. Lu very well while I was away. He must be rewarded."
Weiwei glared at him. The jealous "Emperor" tail was still sticking out!
"But..." He continued, his voice serious. "Xingyue is still yours. I don't want... 'Deputy Manager' to bother 'Project Manager' too much."
He was still jealous!
Lu Beichen stood up, adjusting his tie. Wei Wei thought they would go to the company.
But he... grabbed her hand.
"Today, we won't go to the company."
"Huh?" Wei Wei was surprised. "But Xingyue... you..."
"Put that aside." Lu Beichen said. "You've been up all night. I've also... waited thirty thousand years."
He smiled, picking up Xiaotao.
"Today. We... go on a date."
He looked at Xiaotao. "All three of us."
For the first time...
A real family "date".
