Sweet Wife in My Arms

o sleep.
She had obviously rubbed her eyes until it was red but still insisted not to sleep.
She wanted to wait for her mother to come back, wanted her to coax and talk to her.

”Xunxun can take a nap first.
Mama will be back soon. ”

”Really? ” Xunxun clenched her father ’s fingers.
”If Xunxun falls asleep, will Mama really come back? ”

”Yes. ” Lu Yi smiled at his daughter.
However, he was not sure whether she would actually return home.
His heart was experiencing real torture amid the unceasing pain.

He lifted his daughter up as he instructed Lu Qi.

”Xiao Qi, take your younger brother to bed. ”

Xunxun was sleepy and she was already fast asleep now.
Lu Qi and Lu Guang had also done drinking their milk.
It was a habit of them to get drowsy in no time after drinking milk.

Otherwise, Lu Yi would not let them drink milk as now was their mealtime and milk powder was not sufficient to satisfy their daily nutrient intake.

”Alright. ” Lu Qi was a good boy.
He grabbed his brother ’s hand and headed into the room.
He turned around and shot a glance at his father.
His eyes reddened out of expectation.

Is our mother not coming back anymore? Is she abandoning us?

He felt the urge to cry but he was not brave enough to do it.

He was a precocious boy, the most prematurely developed among the three children.
He was considered more advanced than an average child.
Hence, he could sense that his father was not in the mood to talk due to sadness.

Is it because of our mother who is not back yet?

Is it because of our mother who failed to cook for us?

In the past, once they returned home, their mother would have done preparing a table full of dishes for them.

”Big Brother, where is Mama? ” Xiao Guang tugged his elder brother ’s sleeve as he asked.

”Once we wake up, Mama will be back. ” Lu Qi himself climbed onto the bed and Xiao Guang followed suit.
The brothers took off their shoes and socks.
Lu Guang was already in the quilt as Lu Qi was struggling to pull the quilt to cover his younger brother and himself.

Lu Guang soon fell asleep after yawning.

However, Lu Qi was tucked in the quilt, biting the back of his hand while crying surreptitiously.

Mama does not want us anymore.
What can we do now?

What if Mama does not come back again?

I miss Mama.

After a while, the door opened from the outside.
Lu Qi stopped crying and inserted his head into the quilt.

Lu Yi placed his sleeping daughter between the two brothers, then he pulled the quilt over her and caressed her daughter ’s small face.
As he turned around, a silkworm baby hiding in the quilt came into view.

He heaved a sigh and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt to find Xiao Qi hiding in it, weeping.

Among the three children, Xunxun was the most clingy child, Xiao Guang was the most heartless, and Xiao Qi was the most sensitive child.

”Don ’t cry, big boy. ”

Lu Yi carried his son and wiped his face.
He found that Xiao Qi had cried until his face turned red, even his nose was red.
He seldom cried and he did not like to shed tears.
If he did cry, it must be because of him trying to cry along with his younger brother and sister.

”Daddy. ” Xiao Qi grabbed Lu Yi ’s clothes.
”Does Mama abandon us again? ”

Yan Huan used to disappear once, hence the three children had not mentally recovered from it.
They still felt as though Yan Huan would leave them again..
They were afraid that she would leave so they paid extra attention to stop her from leaving them.
