After dinner, the two children, claiming they needed to digest their food, dragged Cici and Rona Muir out shopping.
Cici was just thinking about buying something for the two little buns, when suddenly she heard Ethan Yin's young but assertive voice ring out: "Please wrap up this bag for me, and this one, and this color, and this model—wrap them all up. Here is my address, please deliver them there."
Cici turned around and was instantly startled!
Ethan Yin had actually bought a whole pile of luxury women's handbags!
Because Ethan Yin was a VIP member of this brand, he had priority purchasing rights.
So, as soon as Ethan Yin entered, he announced his identity, skipped the line, went straight to the VIP Lounge, picked his favorites, and had them wrapped up to go!
Miles Gu wasn't as aggressive with shopping. He tilted his little face up at Cici and said, "Mommy, which designer's style do you like? My personal designer is in Paris—do you want me to contact them for you? Mommy, I want to wear matching outfits with you. When I see other kids wearing matching clothes with their moms, I get so jealous... My last name is Gu, just like Mommy's, but I've never worn matching outfits with her before..."
As he said this, Miles Gu's eyes suddenly turned red.
Cici's heart melted instantly, completely ignoring the issue about Miles having the same last name as her.
"Good boy, Auntie will buy you matching outfits, okay?" Cici said gently. "Auntie may not be able to afford tens of thousands for luxury brands, but this is from my heart. Miles, please don't refuse Auntie, okay?"
"Mommy, I want matching outfits too!" Ethan Yin shot out like a little cannonball, hugging Cici's arm and shaking it playfully. "I want to wear matching outfits with Mommy too!"
"Alright, alright! We'll go buy matching outfits right now!" Cici reached out and patted the two little buns on the head, each of them bumping their foreheads together.
For some reason, whenever these two kids acted cute, she just couldn't resist at all.
Rona Muir sighed from the side, "You two little rascals, you've spent the whole night and haven't asked about me once!"
Ethan Yin immediately flashed an innocent smile, "Godmother, half the bags I bought were picked out just for you!"
Hearing that, Rona Muir hugged Ethan Yin and planted a big kiss on him!
Such a wonderful son—why wasn't he born to me?
The four of them happily went off to buy matching outfits.
A car slowly appeared from around the corner.
Inside the car, the person's eyes and brows were filled with warmth.
"President, should we keep following them?" Little A asked in a low voice.
"No, let's go back," Charles Yin replied softly. "Tonight is the boys' first night with her. Let them have a joyful evening together. As for Cici, you'll see her tomorrow night."
Little A nodded immediately. "Yes, President."
"Remember to deliver tomorrow's dress early," Charles Yin said, a slight smile on his lips.
One day apart feels like three years.
Cici, how many springs and autumns do you owe me?
This time, I won't let you go!
Cici didn't buy luxury goods; she bought matching outfits from a second-tier brand.
Rona Muir got all fired up too, insisting she wanted to wear matching outfits with them.
So it turned into matching outfits for all four of them.
When they got home, the four of them couldn't wait to change into their matching pajamas.
Seeing that they were finally dressed like Mommy, Ethan Yin and Miles Gu were satisfied at last.
To commemorate their matching outfits, the two little masters whipped out their phones and snapped all kinds of photos, posting them on their Weibo accounts.
Charles Yin quietly stared at his sons' Weibo, silently downloading and saving the photos they posted.
In the photos, Cici's smile was just as bright as ever...
His slender fingers slid across the phone screen, and the smile on his lips just wouldn't fade.
After all the excitement, it was finally time to rest.
Ethan Yin and Miles Gu dove straight onto Cici's big bed without hesitation.
"How about one of you sleeps with Rona tonight? Or should I go sleep with Rona and you two stay here?" Cici asked as she made the beds for the kids.
"No! We want to sleep with Mommy!" Ethan Yin and Miles Gu refused in perfect unison!
Rona Muir yawned and said, "No, you go ahead and coax them to sleep. Don't interrupt my late-night chats with handsome men! Goodnight, boys!"
"Goodnight, Godmother!" Ethan Yin and Miles Gu replied cheerfully, then happily rolled around on Cici's bed.
Cici shook her head helplessly and climbed onto the bed too.
Ethan Yin and Miles Gu lay down on either side of Cici.
Cici hugged them, kissed Ethan and Miles: "Shall we sleep now?"
"Mommy, will you tell us a bedtime story?" Ethan Yin grabbed Cici's clothes, looking up at her with pleading eyes. "Other kids' mommies always tell bedtime stories."
Miles Gu nodded vigorously.
"Alright, I'll tell you a story... Hmm, let me tell you about Zara Yun, the ancestor of the Yun Family," Cici smiled. She didn't think Grimm's fairy tales suited them; history was better.
Sure enough, the two kids' eyes lit up, looking at Cici with anticipation.
Cici hugged them and began to tell the story slowly: "During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the political situation was chaotic, local powers were rising, and the Qing army was eyeing the north. At that time, the Yun Family had an extraordinary genius named Zara Yun. She looked exactly like me, but she was a general on horseback, a master of martial arts and strategy..."
Cici's story went on and on. By the time she finished, both little buns lying on her were fast asleep.
Cici's heart became incredibly tender. Afraid her movements would wake the little ones, she carefully laid them flat, turned off the light, and lay down between them.
Just before she fell asleep, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Even though she suddenly had two sons and played mom for a day...
It actually felt pretty good...
That night, it seemed like everyone was happy.
But the happiest of all was...
Cici had a dream. In her dream, she really gave birth to a child, but when she saw the father's face, she was so shocked she woke up!
She actually dreamed of Charles Yin!
She'd only met him a day ago, but she dreamed of having a child with him!
Oh my god, how embarrassing!
As soon as Cici opened her eyes, her face felt hot!
She turned her head—wait, where were the two little buns?
Cici instantly snapped awake and sat up!
"Ethan! Miles!" Cici called out urgently.
Where were the kids? Where did they go?
It's so early—where could they have gone?
Not seeing the kids, Cici suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable panic.
They'd only spent a day together, but somehow these two kids had already snuck into her heart.
It felt just like they were her own sons, tugging at her heartstrings.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and the two little buns rushed in.
Cici grabbed one in each arm and pulled them into a tight hug, maybe a bit too hard, and anxiously asked, "Where did you go? Why aren't you sleeping so early in the morning? What were you doing?"
Ethan Yin grinned, "Mommy, were you worried about us? You don't have to worry about us! In this world, no one dares mess with us!"
Miles Gu nodded in strong agreement.
Mommy doesn't know yet!
Even though they came back with Mommy, there were lots of bodyguards secretly protecting them!
As long as they're not in danger, those bodyguards won't show up!
Seeing they were safe and sound, Cici finally relaxed. She said seriously, "Don't run off on your own, okay? This is Paris—it's a mixed crowd, all kinds of people. You two look special and carry wealth that only nobles have, so you have to be careful around strangers, especially those who approach you on purpose. Don't go with strangers, don't eat anything they give you, and don't believe what they say, understand?"
Cici had forgotten that just yesterday, she herself was a stranger. Now here she was, earnestly teaching the kids.
But Ethan Yin and Miles Gu listened, their eyes turning red.
Having a mom feels so good!
Ethan Yin and Miles Gu dove into Cici's arms, hugging her neck sweetly.
Cici's heart softened again, and her voice grew gentle: "Alright, Mommy didn't mean to scold you. I was just really worried you might get tricked by bad people."
Ethan Yin and Miles Gu suddenly let go, looking at Cici in surprise: "Mommy, you finally admitted you're our mommy!"
Only then did Cici realize she'd been so emotional that she accidentally accepted being called "Mommy."
Cici opened her mouth: "Can I take that back now?"
"No way!" Ethan Yin and Miles Gu refused in perfect unison. "Now that you've admitted it, you can't take it back! You're our mommy. You can't leave us, you can't abandon us!"
Cici smiled helplessly. "Alright, until your real mommy shows up, I'm your mommy."
Ethan Yin and Miles Gu exchanged a glance—success!
Cici then pulled the two kids close and went on and on about how not to talk to strangers. She really was a mom worrying herself sick over her children!
After a long lecture, Cici suddenly remembered she still had to go to work today!
Ahhh! She'd forgotten something so important!
Cici hurriedly stood up, rushed into the bathroom to wash up, tidied her clothes, and made a quick breakfast in the kitchen.
She urged the kids to eat, grabbed her bag, and dashed to the company.
As soon as she arrived, Cici was instantly surrounded by her coworkers—no surprise there!
"Cici, tell us—is President Yin really as handsome as he looks in the magazines? I say he's even better looking in person, but no one believes me! Prove it!"
"Cici, tell us, is President Yin really that charming? We tried to sneak a peek yesterday, but we didn't even catch a glimpse!"
