Chapter 393: You Two Little Munchkins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Can you two little imps not cause trouble for one day?” Jian Dan said as she stood at the kitchen door with her hands on her waist, looking at the kitchen that looked like a tornado had just torn through it.
“Sigh, it can’t be helped. With a mother who always likes to cause trouble… According to the probability of genetics, the probability of us not causing trouble is close to zero!”
“Jian Xiaoxin, you’ve become more eloquent by the day. Why? Do you want to be a lawyer when you grow up?” Jian Dan said angrily as she glared at her daughter whose face was covered in flour.
“Hmm, that’s a suggestion I can consider.” Jian Xiaoxin said as she raised her chin high.
It was as if this was a piece of cake for her.
Unless she did not want to, otherwise, it was definitely not a problem as long as she wanted it.
It couldn’t be helped. Her two babies had been extremely intelligent since they were young and could do everything very well. Hence, they often took a dig at her. They made it seem as if they were her parents instead.
However… Xiaoxin took after her in one aspect—she failed spectacularly at cooking and doing housework. She could not master them no matter how hard she tried. That’s proof enough that she’s really my daughter. Hehe!
“The two of you are at it again!” Jian Xiaokai put his hands on his waist and assumed the look of a parent as he watched the two of them bicker.
Actually, what they said isn’t wrong. In fact, the person who caused trouble every day was me! Hehe…
Jian Dan wondered if it was really true like everyone said—baby brain. If it is, I gave birth to twins. Hence, I’m suffering from a double dose of baby brain!
She was not very good at taking care of herself in the first place. After giving birth to these two munchkins, she became even more slow-witted. Sigh… I don’t even know how I raised these two munchkin back then.
However, she was still very grateful to God for sending these two munchkins to her.
It was quite interesting to bicker every day. This was their unique way of getting along. It did not adversely affect their relationship at all. Instead, it made them even closer.
“Daxin! Xiaoxin is your daughter. Can’t you give in to her?” Because Jian Dan’s name now was Jian Wangxin, Xiaokai called her “Daxin” in order to differentiate her from his sister.
The name Daxin does not sound nice, but this rascal would not call her something else. After that, he wore her down and she got used to him calling her that.
“What?! Oh, she’s a child, so I have to give in to her? There’s an old saying: You need to love the young, but don’t forget that only after respecting the old can you love the young. Shouldn’t she respect the old?”
“Old? How are you old? You’re just a 26-year-old girl and you still have the cheek to call yourself old?” Jian Xiaoxin said with an unconvinced expression.
“Hmph! How dare you say that I’m a girl? Even if I’m young, I’m still your mother. When it comes to the two of you, I’m old. So, you have to respect me, understand?”
Jian Xiaokai facepalmed as he looked at the two of them bickering with their hands on their waists…
These two women! They were like this every day. If they don’t fight for a day, they would feel uncomfortable all over. He was already used to it.
As the only man in this family, not only did he have to worry about the younger one, but he also had to appease the older one. It was a huge responsibility. It seemed that this family was really lacking a man!
Although there had been many suitors pursuing their mother all these years, she did not take a fancy to any of them. That was true even for Ling Xiaoyang who had watched them grow up.
Ever since he and his sister were born, Ling Xiaoyang had been by Jian Dan’s side. Not only did he take care of her, but he also took care of them. Jian Xiaokai had seen how well Ling Xiaoyang treated his mother. Hence, both siblings gave their seal of approval for Ling Xiaoyang to be their father.
However… Jian Dan just couldn’t seem to see how good Ling Xiaoyang was and had always maintained a platonic relationship with him, unwilling to take their relationship further.
A few years back, Jian Xiaokai had been wrecking his brains to matchmake the two of them. In the recent years, he had completely given up. It had been so long and there was still nothing between the two of them. It seemed that there would not be anything in the future either. Therefore, he had been on the prowl for a new candidate for her recently..
