375: I really need you!

I really need you!

The anticipation and worry churned inside Xi Ting, but he focused on the image of Qin Yan's smiling face waiting for him at home.1

Finally, he arrived, his heart pounding as he entered their villa. He called out Qin Yan's name, his voice a mix of relief and concern.

"Yan Yan? Are you here?" Xi Ting called out, his footsteps echoing through the halls.

Qin Yan emerged from their living room, her eyes filled with love and relief as she saw Xi Ting standing before her. In an instant, they closed the distance between them, wrapping each other in a tight embrace.

"I'm here, Ah Ting," Qin Yan whispered, her voice filled with warmth and love. "I'm safe, and I'm with you."

Xi Ting held her close, his arms enveloping her, cherishing the reassurance of her presence. They stood in the embrace, finding solace and comfort in each other's arms.

In that moment, the worries and fears that had gripped Xi Ting's heart began to fade, replaced by an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love.

As Xi Ting and Qin Yan shared their heartfelt embrace, little Xiaobao couldn't help but feel curious and a little concerned. He cautiously approached them, his voice filled with curiosity.

"Darling, what are you doing here?" Qin Yan asked, her voice filled with surprise. 

The little bun shuffled his feet, his eyes darting between Xi Ting and Qin Yan, "I heard some stuff, Aunty Yan. Something happened during your drill, right? Are you okay?"

Qin Yan knelt down, a reassuring smile on her face, "Yeah, there was a little incident, but I'm totally fine. There is no need for my baby to worry."

The little guy's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to make sense of it all, "But Dad seemed really worried. What really happened?"

Xi Ting joined the conversation, "Your Aunty Yan got stuck in some debris during the drill, but she managed to escape without a scratch."

The little guy's eyes widened with relief as he hugged Qin Yan tightly, "Aunty Yan, please stay safe. Don't ever put yourself in danger. I really need you."

Qin Yan's eyes got filled with tears seeing the little guy so vulnerable. She patted his back gently, "Baby, don't worry. I will stay safe."

The little bun took a deep breath and smiled innocently, "Promise?"

"That's a promise," Qin Yan affirmed.

The little guy was finally satisfied.

After dinner, Qin Yan went to wash up. Then, she put on her pajamas. Xi Ting looked at her passionately.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yan asked.

"I'm going to take a shower… Then, we'll…"

Before Xi Ting could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly pushed open. the little guy poked his head in and asked expectantly, "Dad, Aunty Yan, can we sleep together today?"

Qin Yan did not know what Xi Ting was thinking. So, she smiled at the little bun and said, "Sure."

Before Xi Ting could deny, Qin Yan had already approved of the little guy sleeping with them. Xi Ting had no choice but to nod helplessly.

The little bun took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed without any hesitation. After that, he looked at everyone and said innocently, "Come, let's sleep together."

Subsequently, Qin Yan followed suit. She lifted the blanket and laid down.

The little bun made himself comfortable before sneaking a glance at Qin Yan. The corners of his mouth curled up in delight.

He tilted his head and looked at Xi Ting who was on his left, then at Qin Yan who was on his right. He felt very excited and any sleepiness present was immediately expelled.

"I want to listen to a story. Is that possible?" Little Xiaobao looked at Qin Yan.

"Give me a moment to think."

Qin Yan leaned against the little bun and thought to herself for a while. Her darling was so smart. He was probably not interested in childish stories like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs".

In the end, Qin Yan decided to tell the story of "Calabash Babies". She cleared her throat and began to narrate. When she got to the part where the fifth baby was captured by a snake spirit, the little guy's eyes began to close and he soon fell asleep.

When Qin Yan saw that the little bun was asleep, she stopped telling the story. Then, she looked at Xi Ting and said softly, "He is asleep."

"We should sleep too," Xi Ting replied.

Qin Yan nodded and was about to turn off the lights.

Suddenly, Xi Ting asked, "Aren't you coming over to my side?"

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment.

As for Xi Ting, he smiled while gently lifting a corner of the blanket.

Qin Yan felt restless. She still got off the bed. However, she could not hide the smile on her face while quietly walking to Xi Ting's side.

Xi Ting silently lifted the blanket.

Qin Yan crawled into Xi Ting's arms and hugged him. She looked at Xi Ting with a gentle expression. It was a little embarrassing, but she also felt happy.

Xi Ting's gaze involuntarily shifted to Qin Yan's red lips. His body heated up. Meanwhile, Qin Yan could also feel Xi Ting's increasing body heat. Her face was also a little hot. Moreover, her heart was beating rapidly and the quiet room made it more obvious.

Qin Yan raised her hand and was about to turn off the lights, but it was pulled back by Xi Ting with a burning gaze. 

Out of nowhere, he kissed her on the lips. Naturally, Qin Yan was stunned. The kiss this time was not fleeting. Xi Ting gently rubbed his lips against hers. He was being patient and serious this time. 

They kissed for a long time and their tongues continued to dance with each other. 

Qin Yan was in a daze. She felt like her body was losing energy. Xi Ting held her tightly in his arms. His breath became warmer and their kiss got more intense.
