The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 647: The twins’ matchmaking

It had been a month since baby Lan was born and she became the apple of everyone’s eyes along with Weiyun and Limei in no time. She was peacefully sleeping in the crib with a silly but cute smile on her lips.     

Lanying shook her head helplessly. “Li and you are the same. He has been saying the same thing ever since we came and never gets tired of it. Though I do understand. Haha, she is just too cute.”     

Lihua just came in with the twins at that time and chirped. “Lanying! Let’s go to the garden. It’s such nice weather out there.”     

Ruiling clapped her hands once. “Yes! Uta bright and sunny outside. Let’s go. It will be fun to play.”     

Weiyun and Limei, who were growing to walk without any support now, trotted towards the crib and peeked inside. “LanLan…” they giggled.     

Apart from Mama and Dada, they were starting to speak other words as well, mainly names and the way they addressed other members of the family. Their words were broken and couldn’t complete a full sentence, but their learning process was a wonderful experience for Wei and Lihua to witness.     

Weiyun poked his cousin’s cheek. “LanLan…”     

Lihua tapped on his forehead. “She is sleeping. She will cry if you wake her up.”     

Weiyun seemed to understand that crying was bad. He became tense and immediately stopped poking her.     

Ruiling laughed. “Oh gosh, he is so cute.”     

Little Limei tugged her dress. “Limei cute…cute…”     

“Hahaha! Of course, my niece is cute too!” She kissed her forehead.     

Limei blushed and was satisfied.     

Since Lan was sleeping, Weiyun and Limei got busy playing ball atop the soft grass.     

Lanying realized she forgot to bring Lan’s blanket. “I will bring it otherwise, she will catch a cold.”     

“Wait, I will come too,” Lihua said, “Let me bring some more toys for us to play with them! Ruiling, will you look after them? We will be back in a flash!”     

“Of course, you don’t need to ask,” she chuckled.     

As they left, she bent on her knees and asked in delight, “So, so! What should we play?”     

Weiyun stared at her and smiled. “Uiling…cute…”     

He wanted to say Ruiling.     

She burst into tears with his cuteness. “Weiyuuuuuun! You called me cute. You and Limei are the cutest!” She hugged him against her chest and pinched his chubby cheek.     

Weiyun buried his face in her neck and slowly hugged her back.     

Limei pointed at a small flower in her hand that she plucked from the garden and gave it to her. “Uiling cute…”     

Ruiling took the flower and wanted to faint with the cuteness overload.     

Seriously, a double dose of an attack is not good for my heart, she sobbed.         

Then she heard baby Lan shifting in the stroller and soon, she began to cry.     

“Waaaa….”     

“Aiya, why is my LanLan crying?” Ruiling gently picked her in her arms and cradled her from side to side. But she started to cry even more.     

The twins circled her and patted her small head with their soft palms. “No no…” they shook their heads, wanting to say that she shouldn’t cry.     

Ruiling grew more tense when LanLan’s tears weren’t stopping at all.     

“Sister-in-law, please be back sooooon,” she cried, “I don’t know why she is crying.”     

A deep voice came from her side, “Give her to me.”     

She jumped in her seat and looked up. Xinyue’s tall figure was towering in front of her. His arms were stretched out to signal to hand baby Lan to him.     

“You…” She was surprised to see him.     

“Give Lan to me,” he repeated.     

“I-I am fine…”     

But Lan was still crying, so she quickly handed her to Xinyue. “I don’t think you can do much. Maybe she is hungry-”     

But as soon as Lan was in Xinyue’s arms, she instantly became docile and stopped crying. She was even smiling now and looked more comfortable.     

“…”     

Her mouth twitched.     

My cute niece, that is betrayal! How can you favor him more than me!?     

Ruiling’s brow was still twitching as she stared at Xinyue holding Lan, absolutely expressionless. Watching that scene of this annoying man holding a baby strangely…felt peaceful. It was as if he knew what he was doing.     

Though Ruiling couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved.     

How is he so good with babies, even better than me?     

“H-How did you…”     

“She was feeling a little chilly,” Xinyue shrugged. “I just covered her up.”     

How did he notice that?     

“Well then you should have told me. I-I would have covered her up too,” she cleared her throat with embarrassment.     

I don’t know how much he saw me panicking. Damn, I must have looked stupid.     

Xinyue sneered. “Sure but would she have stopped crying? Maybe she doesn’t like the person holding her~”         

Ruiling glared at him. “Shut up. How do you even know how to handle babies? Have you worked as a nanny?”     

He raised his brow. “I have a sweet, not-so-intelligent sister. Though it wasn’t for a long time, I did take care of Lihua when she was a baby. I know some stuff here and there.”     

Ruiling stiffened and felt guilty. “I am really sorry,” she quickly apologized, “I didn’t mean to dig that pain up.”     

The separation from Lihua was a sorrowful time for the Cheng family.     

Xinyue shrugged. “It’s not painful. Not for me at least,” he sneered, “It was a peaceful time I must say.”     

She sneered back. “You really are not honest at all. If you didn’t miss sister-in-law Lihua, then why have you come so frequently to the Zhao villa since a year and a half?”     

His mouth twitched.     

“It looks like you are here to meet Bro Wei and Bro Li for work. But I know that your hidden agenda is to see your sister and how she is doing. Of course there are the twins too, but it’s definitely because of sister-in-law Lihua. You miss her.”     

“Shut up.”     

“Why are you here today?”     

“Work,” he said unfazed.     

“Heh. But both my brothers are not at home.”     

“…”     

“Who are you here to meet then?”     

“…”     

He threw her a nasty stare and ignored her. “You talk too much.”     

Ruiling snorted.     

Weiyun and Limei held his legs and hugged him. “Yue…cute.” Then Limei pointed at Ruiling. “Uiling cute. Uiling Yue cute cute…”
