“Mom, when did you get back? Are you on vacation? When are you leaving? Have you gone home yet? Does my dad even know?”

Lu Suo kept asking questions while hugging Song Ci’s arm.

Song Ci was not annoyed by the questions at all. She replied patiently, “I came back today. This can be considered a long holiday. I’ve already seen your father. We’ve kept quiet about my return because I wanted to surprise both of you.”

Upon hearing that, Lu Suo pouted.

“Why do adults like hiding things from children?”

In the past, Lu Suo liked to eavesdrop. He only stopped after being discovered by Song Yujin.

Lu Suo stared at Song Yujin. The latter was confused and speechless.

Song Ci was in the same boat as her little brother. In the end, she just smiled and pinched Lu Suo’s face.

“Are you surprised?”

Lu Suo went back to smiling.

“I am.”

“That’s good.”

Song Ci hugged Lu Suo.

‘Children are so cute.’

Lu Suo looked at Song Ci. His eyes were basically sparkling. It had been a long time since he saw her.

The little boy began acting coquettishly. He wanted to be hugged by Song Ci forever.

At the same time, Lu Suo knew that Song Yujin felt the same way. Hence, he tried not to hog Song Ci all to himself.

“Mom, can we sleep together tonight? We haven’t done it for a long time.”

“Sure.”

Song Ci gently patted Lu Suo’s head.

Lu Suo was happy. He hugged Song Ci even tighter.

Song Yujin slowly leaned into Song Ci’s arms and said, “Tomorrow is Christmas.”

“Yes, that makes today Christmas Eve.”

Song Ci also patted Song Yujin’s head. She was not the type to show blatant favoritism.

Song Yujin nodded. He was not really fond of holidays, but he did not mind celebrating them with Song Ci.

Suddenly, Lu Suo remembered the apple his teacher had given him earlier. He took it out from his bag and said, “Here you go, mom. According to my teacher, an apple symbolizes peace. I hope that you’ll stay safe during work and may our family remain harmonious.”

Upon seeing this scene, Song Yujin fell silent. He also wanted to give an apple to Song Ci after they got home, but Lu Suo beat him to it. Song Yujin could not help but feel a little depressed.

Song Ci had actually almost forgotten about Christmas because she was so busy with work. She was only reminded after seeing the decorations around town.

‘I’ll shop for presents tomorrow when the children are in school. Otherwise, I won’t have enough time.”

Song Ci looked at the red apple that Lu Suo handed to her. Then, she shifted her attention to Song Yujin. She could not tell what he was thinking.

In the end, Song Yujin reached out to pinch Lu Suo’s face playfully.

‘It’s my own fault for being so slow.’

Shortly after, Song Yujin let go and gently rubbed Lu Suo’s face. He could only sigh in his heart.
