"They are already awake," She turned her head to look behind her and murmured to him quietly .
"Five more minutes," Shen Yi grumbled, not wanting to be parted from his wife too soon .
"Can't let them wait for too long . "
"Fine . "
Shen Yi sighed and it took great strength to part with her . He placed a lingering kiss on her lips before heading to the bathroom for a shower . Lu Xinyi stretched as she leaned back against the soft pillows and looked out of the window . It was a bright sunny day, totally opposite from the same date seventeen years ago .
If she had known that her mother will end up dead that day, she should have insisted for her to stay at her side . The bitterness in heart started to resurface . Ah, remembering those days had surely ruined her mood . Today was the death anniversary of her mother and she'd plan to pay her a visit .
The sounds of voices approaching their room startled her, forcing her to sit up and get dressed . Once she was ready, she opened the door, not surprised to see the twins running towards her, wrapping their arms around her with big smiles on their faces .
"Good morning . " She greeted with a bright smile, forgetting the sadness she had earlier .
"Good morning, Aunty Xinxin! Uncle Xue said he'll take us to the amusement park . Are you going with us?" Zhichen asked excitedly as they walked down the stairs with Lu Xinyi . They hadn't been in an amusement park before so he was eager to see it .
"Sorry, dear . Aunty Xinxin has plans for today . Maybe next time?" Lu Xinyi said thoughtfully . Her husband hadn't mentioned anything about Xue taking the kids with him .
When Shen Yi stepped into the kitchen, Shen Xue had served the breakfast for the twins while Lu Xinyi was listing down the things she needed to buy later .
"Did you have a good cold shower?" Shen Xue asked with a grin as he watched his brother adjust his dress shirt .
Shen Yi crossed his arms over his chest and mocked his younger brother .
"I'm not the single dog here . Aren't you tired of being a third wheel that you already get used on having a cold shower instead?"
"Who's the single dog?!"
"You . Did you already get your fair share with dog foods and jars of vinegar? Do you need a mirror to see it for yourself?" Shen Yi said with an enigmatic smile . Lu Xinyi came towards him and tugged his arm away from his brother .
"Now, now . Don't fight in front of the children . Xue said he'll take the children with him today . Is that alright?"
Shen Yi lifted his shoulder in a half shrug . "I don't see a problem with that . " He then leaned down so he could whisper to her ear . "Is that mean you're mine the whole day?"
Lu Xinyi giggled and pushed his chest away .
"Nope, I have plans . Do you want to come with me instead?" she winked at her husband .
"Oh? Are you asking me for a date? Now, this is new . " Shen Yi raked his fingers through his damp hair .
Lu Xinyi had trouble maintaining their eye contact . She wasn't sure if he would agree at her idea .
"No, not really . I thought you might want to meet my parents . " She wrapped a curl around her finger . She realized that he might have misunderstood her words when Shen Yi didn't say anything . "I'm not planning to kill you, silly . It's my mom's death anniversary . "
Shen Yi grinned and leaned forward to kiss her .
"Then I shall accompany you . Without your parents, I wouldn't have you as my wife . "
---
It should be a special day for Lu Xinyi since her husband agreed to accompany her today but it seemed that fate wasn't on her side when she saw a familiar old man standing in front of her mother's tomb with a middle-aged man standing behind him, dressed in a black suit .
Her steps halted while Shen Yi continued to walk ahead of her . He only stopped when he realized the tapping sound of her heels behind him was gone .
"Xinyi?"
His voice caught the attention of the old man and he turned around only to see Lu Xinyi giving a skeptical look with her hands clenching on her sides .
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xinyi's voice was filled with contempt .
"Xin'er . "
