My Little Sweet Wife

Xian Chiahao did not move and stared at him for a moment. Then he looked down again and saw Jiang Ruolan still had a bag of yogurt in her hand, so he immediately took the bag of yogurt and didn't drink it himself first, but played with it in his hand. His expression was abundant.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know what her son was thinking, she just looked at Xian Zihao.

Xian Chiahao then looked at Xian An Na. "Give me the car and I will give you this yogurt!"

Xian An Na opened her eyes wide and saw the yogurt in Xian Chiahao's hand, then she held the car tightly in her arms and refused to let go.

Although Xian Zihao wanted to hug his children, he became more patient when he saw the two of them interacting with each other. He just watched them quietly, not in a hurry at all. He also didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between these children.

In the end, when Jiang Ruolan thought that a girl with no backbone like Xian An Na would compromise because of yogurt, she (Xian An Na) suddenly hugged the car tightly and dived into Xian Zihao's arm.

Xian An Na pouted. She looks like she wanted to quarrel with her brother forever. She then shouted, "Daddy, look at big brother! He wants to drink the yogurt alone."

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. She thought that Xian An Na didn't understand the words she said, but it seemed she (Xian An Na) understood. Could it be that Sister He took them to watch the old cartoon "Big-Headed Kid and Small-Headed Father"¹ recently? 

Although Xian An Na had never seen her father before, she knew that her father would make the decision for her.

Jiang Ruolan looked sideways at Xian Zihao with sympathy. His face was full of joy, but he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

"In this relaxed world, the word daddy is worth a bottle of yogurt." Jiang Ruolan said with a sympathetic expression.

Xian Zihao held Xian An Na in his arms. Originally, he wanted to make it easy for his daughter by giving her whatever she liked, but the problem was, Xian Chiahao was still waiting to trade yogurt for his car. If Xian An Na was satisfied, then Xian Chiahao would be angry and ignore him even more.

Xian Zihao narrowed his eyes and looked mysteriously at Xian Chiahao, who looked at him angrily. "My good son, why don't you give yogurt to your sister while daddy takes you to see something?"

Xian Chiahao looked at him hesitantly, then he looked towards the car in Xian An Na's arms. Obviously, he was skeptical and was considering whether this "daddy" was trying to deceive him.

Xian Zihao's eyes were full of patience and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Although he wasn't very good at carrying children, he still hugged his daughter very steadily. Xian Chiahao looked at the car in Xian An Na's arms again, then put down the yogurt in his hands and extended his hand to let Xian Zihao carry him.

Xian Zihao raised his eyebrow, apparently praising his son for taking a bold first step towards him. He patted his head, "Good boy!"

After that, he carried Xian Chiahao in one hand while Xian An Na in the other. Jiang Ruolan stood up and when she saw that Xian Zihao was holding his children easily, she was no longer worried. She put the yogurt in the bag and asked, "What are you going to show them?"

"Since they were born, this is the first time we've met. They are my own children, how can I not pamper them? How can I come back without gifts?" Xian Zihao smiled and turned to Jiang Ruolan, who understood the situation after hearing it.

"The gifts were in the car. I wanted to see what these two little things were like before deciding to give it a go according to their preferences. Looks like they have to choose for themselves."

"How many gifts have you bought? They are just three years old, and they might not like what they like now next year. It would be too much of a waste to buy that much!" Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but reprimand him. However, there wasn't much resentment in her eyes as she just stared at him.

Xian Zihao smiled. "I'll take them out first. You just got home from a business trip. Go take a shower and change your clothes. If you're too tired, I'll make dinner, okay?"

Jiang Ruolan shook her head and smiled. "It's okay. Spend your time with these two. By the way, An Na and Chiahao like to bite people when they're unhappy. Be careful not to be bitten by them."

When Xian Zihao brought the children out, Jiang Ruolan tidied up the colorful foam bricks next to her, then the toys the two children played with, and placed them in a small plastic box next to her. She then got up, changed her clothes, and went into the kitchen.

"Sister He, go take your time off. You have to take care of my children every day. I've been on a business trip for a few days now and you haven't had a chance to go home. Go home early after dinner. I will have a day off for the next two days. You can stay home with your child for the next two days."

Sister He smiled and handed the fish to her, then turned around to wash her hands, "President Xian has just returned, you two still haven't found a chance to spend time together. It's fine, I can take care of the children."

"No need. You can go home early and rest. You're too old, go to the hospital to check your body, don't spend your life like this to earn money." Jiang Ruolan said with a heartfelt smile.

Sister He took off her apron and tied it to Jiang Ruolan's waist. "You're a good child, you have a sweet mouth and a soft heart, but you're too stubborn, same like your mother."

Jiang Ruolan stopped cutting the fish and looked at Sister He with a smile. "I understand. I'll be visiting her in G City soon. Don't worry about me."

"That's good. I'll be leaving first. If you need my help, just call me." Sister He turned around and changed her clothes before leaving the house.

When Sister He walked out the door, she saw Xian Zihao, who was carrying his children who had taken their gifts from the car, walking back. Seeing that Sister He wanted to leave, even though this was the first time he had met her, he also knew that she had been taking care of Jiang Ruolan and his two children for the past two years.

Sister He waved at him with a smile. "President Xian, since you have returned, you should spend more time with your family. Just call me Sister He from now on."

Xian Zihao nodded with a smile and Sister He left.

Jiang Ruolan was in the kitchen, throwing away the fishbone and preparing the other ingredients. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she walked to the kitchen door and looked outside. When she saw Xian Zihao back with two children who were all smiling, she smiled in relief.

Xian Chiahao was placed on the couch, but he was too naughty. He immediately jumped off the couch with the new remote control in his hand and played the control car, meanwhile, Xian An Na held Xian Zihao's neck with her chubby hand and didn't let go. It seemed that she liked this 'daddy'.
