Chapter 437: Chapter 437 - 431: Good Morning, Mrs. Jing

Suddenly hearing mommy’s "questioning," Mianmian quickly covered her mouth, staring wide-eyed at Jing Jihan in his arms, full of "What do we do? What do we do? Mommy’s going to get angry!"

Jing Jihan chuckled softly and asked Mianmian, "Do you know what time it is now? If you don’t sleep, you won’t wake up tomorrow morning."

Even though Mianmian took a nap at his company, it was already very late now, and the biological clock inside the little one’s body had already sounded the alarm a while ago, starting to feel sleepy.

"Then I want to sleep between daddy and mommy." Mianmian pleaded softly again, her eyes sneaking a glance towards Shi Su’s side, seeing that mommy had gone into the bathroom.

"Shi Mianmian, come to take a bath. Only after bathing can you sleep." Shi Su was in the bathroom running the water, her voice coming from inside.

When Jing Jihan brought Mianmian in, Shi Su sat by the bathtub, turning her head to look at him. Seeing his gaze fall on her, she could roughly guess what the little rascal would say to him, hurriedly forcing herself not to meet his eyes. Until Mianmian came near the bathtub, Jing Jihan closed the bathroom door from outside.

Shi Su and Mianmian took a bath together, because it was already very late, they didn’t bathe long. After half drying Mianmian’s hair, she carried the little girl to bed.

Mianmian was already nodding off uncontrollably while bathing, and upon being placed on the bed, she immediately rolled over and curled into the blanket, sleeping deeply, her cute little feet poking out from under the covers. Shi Su gently pulled over the blanket that was a bit messy on her and softly covered her.

She herself didn’t dry her hair either, but she was indeed tired, not wanting to get up. So she hugged Mianmian, closing her eyes unwittingly, hearing the sound of water again in the bathroom, knowing that Jing Jihan went in for a shower.

Half asleep and half awake, Shi Su suddenly felt a towel placed over her hair. She drowsily turned her head slightly backwards, finding Jing Jihan had brought a towel over to gently wipe her still damp hair.

"There’s no hair dryer here; if you don’t dry it more, you’ll catch a cold." He whispered near her ear, gently helping her dry more, moving the damp strands over her forehead to the sides of her cheeks. Seeing she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, he didn’t have the heart to wake her, and after a couple of more wipes, he removed the towel.

Shi Su rolled back to continue holding Mianmian to sleep, until she felt the blanket slightly lift, instinctively half-opening her eyes, seeing Jing Jihan indeed planning to sleep on Mianmian’s other side.

The man’s arms were around both her and Mianmian, in an embracing posture, enough to gather the mother and daughter into his embrace.

Mianmian had long fallen asleep, but seemed to sense something in her dream, suddenly rolling over to nestle her face into Jing Jihan’s embrace, comfortably snuggling with her little feet placed on his leg.

Jing Jihan chuckled softly, holding Mianmian while looking at Shi Su, who was half asleep and peeking at him with half-open eyes.

Shi Su joined in, gently nudging towards him, getting closer to make it easier for him to hold her.

A night of sweet dreams, Mianmian woke up to find herself sleeping between mommy and Ji Han daddy, lying happily between them without sitting up, covering her mouth with her little hand to giggle. The little girl didn’t know how to express her uncontainable joy, unable to stop her smiles, Shi Su naturally woke up by her stirring, opening her eyes to look at her, just about to ask why Mianmian woke so early.

Unexpectedly, the man’s arm that had been closed suddenly reached over, pulling both directly into his embrace again, opening his eyes to look at Shi Su, then looking at the giggly little one in his arms, lowering his head for a kiss on Mianmian’s forehead, speaking warmly, "Great-grandmother must have been up for a while waiting for you to visit. Do you want to go see her?"

"Yes!" Mianmian quickly climbed out of his arms, sat on the bed, hair tousled from sleep resting, kicking the blanket aside and standing up on the bed, happily wanting to bounce, ending up being held down by Shi Su.

"Don’t fall off, go wash up yourself." Shi Su gestured towards the bathroom with her eyes.

Mianmian obediently climbed off the bed and ran into the bathroom herself.

Shi Su was about to get up too, suddenly feeling a warmth beside her, the man naturally scooping her over into his embrace, pinning her while lowering a kiss on her head just like he did with Mianmian, looking at her slightly groggy post-sleep expression, speaking in a deep voice, "Good morning, Mrs. Jing."

Thinking of everything discovered last night, Shi Su acknowledged with drooping eyes, thinking of how seven years ago she... in the car with this man...

She couldn’t help but feel her delicate heart starting to flutter wildly, hurriedly uttering a "Good morning," quickly rising up from his embrace, avoiding being caught blushing early in the morning, lest one suspects she might have dreamt of something... peculiar.

Though she slept well with no dreams throughout the night, the memories of that night seven years ago grew clearer with her waking consciousness in the morning, every detail filtering unstoppably through the seams of her memories into her mind.

As she hurried out of bed, it seemed as though she heard the man laugh, prompting her to quickly put on indoor slippers and flee to the bathroom.

Early morning, Jun posted a photo of the entire studio working overtime in the group chat, along with some tantrum emojis, tagging Shi Su, threatening Shi Su to treat everyone to coffee, or else the entire staff would go on strike.

Miss Chen replied in the chat: [Oh dear, the laborer has it rough, eating dog food while working overtime~]

Chujia: [9494]

Employee A: [Boss, one portion of wedding sweets, one cup of coffee, please! @Shi Su]

Employee B: [A cup of Mocha, a pack of White Rabbit candy, thank you boss! @Shi Su]

Shi Su quickly sent out several big red packets in the group for everyone to buy as they wish, soothing these colleagues who spent the whole night on Weibo consuming dog food.

She anticipated the studio would be insanely busy these days, not expecting it to be so busy that they had to work through the night, with morning light and still not returning home.

After announcing the relationship between Jing Jihan and herself, it was shocking for her, unable to fully digest even a day later, while for those within the circle who ever had a grudge against her, it wasn’t just shocking, it was terrifying.

The studio had been monitoring Weibo these past two days, dealing with media, preparing drafts, as it concerns Shi Su and Jing Jihan, each step has been handled tightly and cautiously, inevitably keeping them very busy.

Although Shi Su didn’t check Weibo again, the buzz around her and Jing Jihan remained extremely high, even the so-called ’Timely Rain CP’ that Jing Jihan was unaware of skyrocketed overnight to the first place on the CP trending chart.

No matter how many fans there are, or how much they dig, they haven’t been able to find more information or insider details about Jing Jihan, still that mere silhouette photo being fanatically adored by fans, who wrote over a hundred short fanfictions overnight dreaming up countless versions of their love story, attracting even non-ship readers during literature shortage to look for novels in the Timely Rain CP trending, all sorts of Mary Sue and urban romances available in abundance.
