Chapter 11 Getting close to her (1/2)

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! God! They also shit! 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? God! 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 embarrassed. She carried Wuyou and Nianci and went to the cradle to put them down. Wuyou lay down conformably. Nianci, however, still hugged her tightly.
