Chapter 1675: Devil’s Whisper

Long Jinjing immediately stopped laughing and shrank her head into her neck. She knew full well what her husband’s devilish smirk meant. If she continued being careless, she would be the one to suffer in bed tonight.

Although she enjoyed making love with her husband, his stamina was too much for her to bear! He was capable of keeping her awake the entire night, giving her pleasure and passion.

Best to avoid provoking the man.

She focused on the children, keeping them preoccupied with promises of delicious food. She also asked Robin to accompany Little Jun to change out of his sweaty clothes.

By this time, Huang Yuyan had also arrived. Shun followed her inside, carrying several gift bags.

"Amma!" (Grandma!) Little Mochi ran to his grandmother.

His twin brother, Little Matcha, followed suit.

"My dear grandsons! Grandma missed you so much!" Huang Yuyan dropped her expensive luxury brand bag on the floor and hugged her twin grandsons.

Little Misha saw his cousins hugging their grandmother. He also wanted to join! Once again, the fat baby flailed his limbs, making it difficult for his mother to hold him.

On the other hand, Little Dima wasn’t as excited. He stayed put in his father’s arms and just watched his cousins.

Lu Zihao frowned at his son being naughty in his wife’s arms. "Put him down. What if he hits you accidentally?"

Long Jinjing pouted but still obeyed. Their son, Little Misha, indeed had a record of accidentally hitting people due to overexcitement. She carefully put her son on the floor.

As soon as he was put down, Little Misha immediately crawled to his cousins. His speed rivalled a spider fleeing for its life.

"Ah, did Little Misha miss Grandma Yuyan as well?" Huang Yuyan also adored the Lu twins. She took the baby and gave both of his chubby cheeks a kiss. "Grandma Yuyan missed you, too! Oof! You got heavier again? Oh dear. It seems that Grandma can’t carry you anymore. What should we do?"

"Auntie Yuyan, don’t force yourself to lift him," Long Jinjing warned. "You might hurt yourself. Just let him stay on the floor."

As the mother, she was aware of how...uh, "big" her sons were becoming. She was already used to their weight, but others weren’t. Even her sister and their other friends had already started struggling to carry her children.

"Alright, I know." Huang Yuyan was in a good mood. "Where’s Little Dima and Little Jun? How about my dear Ice Cream and Popcorn? The dogs? Grandma Yuyan has a present for everyone! Who wants a present?"

"Yay! Chichi!" (Yay! Mochi wants a present!)

"Amma, chacha." (Grandma, Matcha also wants a present.)

Little Mochi was beyond excited. He loved presents!

His twin brother, Little Matcha, also smiled a little. Although he didn’t jump around like his twin, he still peeked at the gift bags behind his grandmother, wondering which one was his.

Of course, Little Misha didn’t want to be left behind! He tapped Grandma Yuyan’s leg, urging her to hurry up and give them the presents.

Seeing this, Little Dima couldn’t sit still any longer. He looked at his daddy with his adorable puppy eyes.

Lu Zihao’s eyes softened. This son of his was just like Long Jinjing. He kissed his son’s forehead before putting him down on the floor.

Little Dima gave him a small smile before crawling away to join his brother and cousins.

Just as Huang Yuyan started distributing the presents she brought, Little Jun also returned wearing clean clothes. He carried a fat, grey cat in his arms while an orange cat jogged beside him. His eyes lit up upon seeing Huang Yuyan.

"Grandma Yanyan!"

"Oh, my Little Junjun! Ah, Ice Cream and Popcorn, too! Come and give Grandma a big hug and kisses!"

Little Jun obeyed and gave Huang Yuyan a cute hug and a sweet kiss on the cheek. Popcorn also started rubbing himself on his grandmother. Ice Cream, however, started meowing complaints about her inhumane workout sessions and shabby diet foods at this hellhole.

Of course, Huang Yuyan couldn’t understand cat language. She thought that Ice Cream was only acting cute to her, like Popcorn. She basked in the cuteness of her grandchildren, feeling like she had reached the peak of being a grandma.

The dogs also arrived, newly showered after an intense training session with their handlers. All of them were fragrant and fluffy.

"Everyone, time to eat!" Long Jinjing announced.

Robin and Shun had already set the table.

Everyone, including them, sat down and began eating.

The dogs and cats ate their own meals nearby.

"Jinjing, my dear, do you know when Xiao Fei wants to hold her wedding with my son?" Huang Yuyan asked.

Long Jinjing had an awkward smile. She glanced at her husband sitting beside her for help.

He noticed the look but had no idea what it meant.

"I’ve been asking Xiao Fei and Chonglin when they’re going to hold their wedding, but neither gave me definite answers," Huang Yuyan continued her complaints. "Even if it’s just an estimated date! I also spoke with my future in-laws, but they have no idea either! Don’t tell me they want a long engagement period? They’re not getting any younger. Chonglin is almost in his thirties."

"Yuyan, don’t pressure the children," Grandpa Lu said.

"But Uncle—"

"Just be glad that Chonglin has finally found an excellent daughter-in-law for you. Remember when he went through several girls and almost married that criminal?"

Huang Yuyan immediately shut up. Guilt ate at her. It was mostly due to her that her younger son, Jin Chonglin, got engaged and almost married her friend’s daughter, Fan Luo. How was she supposed to know that the girl was a criminal who had almost murdered her current daughter-in-law, Long Xiulan, back then?

Grandpa Lu sighed upon seeing her pitiful appearance. "Yuyan, your youngest son has found such an excellent girl. That girl, Chen Fei, is strongly independent. It’s a miracle that she managed to fall for your Chonglin. Let the two enjoy each other first. If they’re really meant for each other, then they’ll naturally marry."

"Yes, Uncle."

Long Jinjing released a sigh of relief. Chen Fei was her best friend. She also wanted her friend to take her time before deciding to lock herself in marriage. After all, Jin Chonglin had a playboy reputation in the industry. Although he had changed a lot and even shed his womanizing image, Long Jinjing still held some reservations about him.

Then she glanced at her own husband.

"Hm, what’s wrong?" Lu Zihao raised an eyebrow when he caught her looking at him.

Her cheeks turned crimson. No matter how many times she looked at her own husband, he was always devilishly gorgeous.

She wasn’t stupid or ignorant. She knew that he had had many women before her. Perhaps he even had a harem. Even now, she felt like suffocating whenever she thought about him sleeping with other women, even if that was before they became together. It was one of her biggest insecurities. However, through constant therapy, she learned how to deal with these kinds of negative emotions.

It took a huge leap of faith to commit herself to a man like Lu Zihao—no, Nikolai.

But no matter what, she still loved the man. He was her husband. Only hers. Not another woman’s. And he gave her the greatest gifts in the world—their twin sons.

"Hm?" Lu Zihao once again noticed the change in his wife’s expression.

First, she looked like she was having a hard time and was silently asking him for help about who knew what.

Then, she began pouting as if he had wronged her. How? He had no idea.

And now, she looked like she was falling in love with him all over again.

Women were indeed full of mysteries. No matter how smart he was, he still couldn’t understand how their minds worked.

Although his wife was soft and gentle, he truly found many of her emotions quite baffling. Never mind. All he needed to do was take care of and protect her and their children.

Conversations flowed freely as everyone enjoyed Long Jinjing’s cooking. Huang Yuyan also didn’t dwell on how Grandpa Lu reprimanded her earlier. She focused on showering the children, cats and dogs with attention.

The children also ate a lot. Long Jinjing rewarded each of them with a home-baked cookie afterwards. Then she and Lu Zihao herded the kids, cats, and dogs upstairs for a nap.

Lu Zihao was already familiar with the routine. He played a recording of his sister singing Russian lullabies. As soon as the children heard their mother/aunt’s voice, they began yawning and blinking their drowsy eyes until they all fell asleep.

Long Jinjing tucked each of the children, including the cats and dogs, into their own blankets. After making sure that all the children were asleep, the husband and wife went out of the room.

"Nikolai!" Long Jinjing gasped as a strong arm wrapped around her waist, and her whole body twirled until her back pressed against the wall. She looked up and saw her husband pressing her against the wall, looking down at her with those mesmerizing, devilish eyes.

"Why were you looking at me like that at the table, hm?" he asked, his voice low and...dangerous.

She swallowed. "W-what...I w-wasn’t...."

"Heh~" He lowered his head and started nibbling on her red ear. "Denial is futile."

"The kids will hear...."

"They’re asleep." He lifted her and carried her to another empty bedroom.

Her back met the bed, and the man’s weight pressed on top of her. "I’ll ask again. Why were you looking at me like that at the table?"

His voice made her shiver. It was like the devil was whispering in her ear.
