Chapter 92 Best men

Chapter 92 Best men

Luo Xiaolei lifted her hand and then she subconsciously pressed her temple. She didn't know what to say. It looked like the only thing she could do now was tell the little buns the truth; that their mommy and daddy were actually not married.
She glanced at Yu Chen's impenetrable eyes and she sighed. Now she realized just how impossible it was for her to win against these adorably innocent creatures. They really were her weakness, it seemed, and their numbers grew as well, with the addition of a certain big panda, causing their combination to become absolutely, devastatingly… lethal.
After letting another deep sigh go, Luo Xiaolei walked towards little Rui. She crouched down before him, rubbing his wet hair with the hood of his yellow kiddie towel.
"Little Rui, I have something important to tell you." She started, looking sorry. "Actually, me and your daddy Chen are not married yet. I'm sorry for not explaining this to you two earlier."
Upon hearing what she said, Little Rui's eyes circled in surprise. He stared at his mommy in great confusion for a long while, not saying anything, as he just heard something extremely unbelievable.
The silence lasted until Little Rui snapped out of it. His expression became forlorn, disappointed. In Luo Xiaolei's eyes, the little bun looked like he had just been dumped by his beloved and now his heart was breaking so badly.
"Was this why you said you can't give us a baby sister?" He asked softly, looking down. The corners of his lips curved downwards as well as if a little bit more sad news and he would cry.
"Well, yes. You could say that. Mommy is sorry for not telling you this earlier." Luo Xiaolei felt really bad. She didn't expect the little bun to be this sad because of this news. She didn't even know if he was this sad from knowing that his mommy and daddy were actually not married or if he was sad because his hope about having a little sister was crushed.
And she didn't know how to comfort him. What could she tell him to cheer him up?
'Tell him not to worry because you will marry him soon. You know that's the only thing that would cheer him up.' A voice within her said, causing Luo Xiaolei to face palm herself. Oh god… now even my inner self is against me… selling me to the innocent devil without reservation…
While Luo Xiaolei was struggling for the right words to say, the little bun raised his face again. A million questions seemed to be flashing across his big round teary eyes.
"Then what is your relationship with daddy now?" he asked.
Luo Xiaolei cleared her throat before she answered him. "We're engaged. He is my fiancé."
Another silent moment went by. Luo Xiaolei was waiting for the little bun's reaction but he simply stared at her. He seemed to be analyzing something, as if he was trying to connect all the missing links that would lead him to the correct conclusion.
And then he suddenly sighed, leaving Luo Xiaolei stunned again. It was because contrary to what she was expecting, the boy actually sighed in great relief, not in great disappointment. Er… what?
"I'm so relieved, mommy." He admitted and then he smiled, confusing Luo Xiaolei to her bones.
"R-relieved? You looked like you're about to cry just now!"
"Ah… these are tears of joy mommy. I was so happy I was about to cry!" he grinned, causing Luo Xiaolei's brows to furrow in disbelief.
"H-huh? Y-you're happy?" she could only utter and the boy nodded.
"Mommy… I was scared for a moment because I thought that you just didn't want to have a baby with daddy. Now I am glad and happy because you two are actually just waiting for your wedding day, right?" his eyes started to sparkle. Then he glanced over Luo Xiaolei's shoulder.
"That's why daddy said 'soon', right daddy?" he asked to man standing behind her and without waiting for the man's reaction, he returned his gaze towards Luo Xiaolei. "This is also the reason why we came to live in daddy's house right, to wait and prepare for your wedding?"
Little Rui's voice was ecstatic. He was obviously delighted; his smile reflected a genuine happiness.
And then, without waiting for his mommy and daddy's reply, Rui leaped towards his little brother who was already behind him.
He held Little Ran's hand excitedly as if he was about to tell him some news that they both were waiting for all their lives.
"Ranran! You remember when we wished that we could have been there during mommy and daddy's wedding?" Little Rui asked, his eyes wide in pure excitement.
When little Ran nodded, Rui continued. "This is it! Our wish has come true! We thought that their wedding was over so we were sad and upset that mommy didn't invite us but now it turns out that they're not married yet! Our wish to be a part of their wedding is no longer impossible!!"
Little Rui's ecstatic voice was loud enough that Yu Chen and Luo Xiaolei, of course heard every single world he said, loud and clear and they were both speechless. Especially Luo Xiaolei. She didn't even move from her spot and just stared at the little buns in utter disbelief.
And then, Little Rui turned and stood close before Luo Xiaolei and Yu Chen once again.
"Mommy, daddy! We are so happy! Extremely happy!" He even raised his two hands as he yelled. "When will the wedding be? Please mommy, daddy, tell us. We can't wait for the wedding and our baby sister now!" He said and then he tugged Yu Chen's sleeve as he looked up at him, his eyes filled with sparkling stars.
"Daddy, daddy, I want to be the best man, your best man! And Ranran will be the ring bearer! Or can you have two best men? Ranran and I will be your best men right? Right?"
Luo Xiaolei's eyes were almost bulging out. When Yu Chen knelt down, rubbing the boy's hair, her heart hastened. Then, she gulped as he waits for his reply. Big panda bun, you better not make the situation worse!
