It must be said that Xie Chiyuan was indeed intimidating. Those who were originally going to talk to Zhai Man hesitated considerably after seeing him.
Yu An, taking advantage of Xie Chiyuan's influence, also wandered around for quite a while.
The two originally planned to have a quick meal and leave without staying overnight. However, before they left, Chi Niao arrived. Chi Niao did not show himself but only sent a message to Xie Chiyuan.
See you tonight.
Because of Chi Niao's nighttime visit, Yu An and Xie Chiyuan stayed temporarily.
They came on behalf of the West District, and the rooms arranged for them were the same as those for the leaders of the other districts—the highest standard, and thoughtfully, they were private suites.
Looking at the detached apartment, Yu An felt no sense of consideration whatsoever.
His kid won't even have a home tonight!
"An'an, should you shower first, or should I?" Xie Chiyuan asked, finding his pajamas.
Yu An quickly replied, "You go ahead and wash up. I'm going to the balcony to get some fresh air; it's nice and cool there right now."
Xie Chiyuan hummed in agreement and went into the bathroom.
Yu An watched him close the door, then immediately took the baby to the small balcony: "Babies, how about you sleep in the box tonight? I'll find you a box."
There was a large double bed in the room, and a smaller bed next to it.
Xie Chiyuan definitely wants to sleep in the big bed. The two beds are next to each other, and he doesn't dare to risk letting the kids sleep with him.
The three little ones had been cooped up in Yu An's pocket for so long, and even the reserved Xiao Liu was itching to run around. They exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, "Okay, big brother, we love sleeping in the box! We want to sleep in the box on the balcony!"
The balcony has floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened or completely closed.
Moreover, the balcony has a great environment with plants and carpet, so it's not too uncomfortable to sleep on.
Yu An patted the three cubs, deeply moved.
"You two are such good boys. We'll leave tomorrow, and your big brother can keep you company at night."
"Um!"
After settling the babies in, Yu An carefully placed the box and watched them crawl inside.
After spending a while on the balcony, Xie Chiyuan finished showering, and it was Yu An's turn to shower.
The atmosphere here was fairly warm, but in another bedroom in the distance, Zhai Man, who had just taken off his suit in front of the mirror, suddenly froze.
Why did you come out like this?
As Zhai Man finished speaking, the person behind her said indifferently, "What's wrong with how I look? Am I not cute enough?"
Zhai Man: "..."
Zhai Man looked at his enormous body, pursed her lips, and forced herself to say again, "I have a psychological aversion to giant, cold-blooded animals. Last time, you—"
When the topic of the last time came up, Zhai Man abruptly stopped talking.
He abruptly changed the subject: "I told you, unless it's something important, don't come into my room. I need to rest."
A brief silence.
Looking into the enormous, cold, deep brown eyes of the machine, Zhai Man sighed softly in resignation after a long while: "I have already announced tonight that I will not sign the contract for the West District. The Saint Er Laboratory is now ready and can begin production at any time."
"With the A10 brought by Xia Tianwu, as long as we successfully replicate the A10's immortality ability, the quality of our subsequent experimental subjects will be a level higher than before."
Zhai Man recounted each point one by one. After finishing, he looked directly into the eyes of the person in front of him and asked, "Are you sure? Have you really made up your mind about what you're about to do?"
The enormous creature lying on the floor finally spoke: "I have long since determined that the most despicable creature in this world is humankind."
"I will never again let humans dominate everything."
He looked down at Zhai Man, his cold voice devoid of any emotion. He said, "After the A10 experiment is over, we will conduct another experiment with me as the subject."
"Even if it means using my blood or my flesh as nourishment, I would be willing to do it."
Zhai Man didn't speak; he just listened quietly. Finally, he softly replied, "I understand."
On the other side.
After taking a shower, Yu An diligently scrubbed his clothes clean. He then hung them up to dry, so he could wear them again tomorrow.
"An'an, go sleep in the big bed."
Xie Chiyuan gave the luxurious king-size bed to Yu An, while he lay down on the spare small bed next to it.
A small bed is not as comfortable as a big bed.
Yu An stood by the bed, stunned for a moment: "I'm a little smaller, so I can sleep in a small bed."
Xie Chiyuan crossed his hands behind his head and said lazily, "Our family rule is to pamper our wives. So the comfortable bed is naturally reserved for... An'an to sleep in."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An felt that his last sentence clearly indicated he wanted to change his name to his wife's!
Chapter 65
With the large bed there, this small bed is more like a decoration. Xie Chiyuan is tall and has long legs, so when he sleeps on the small bed, he can't even stretch his long legs out.
Yu An looked at him, walked over, and poked his arm: "Let's switch. You sleep in the big bed, and I'll sleep in the small bed."
Xie Chiyuan refused to switch with him.
Seeing this, Yu An frowned and thought for a moment. Finally, he patted the other side of the bed and invited, "Let's sleep together!"
Xie Chiyuan: "?"
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow at him, his tone carrying a hint of threat: "An'an, do you know what will happen if you invite me to sleep with you?"
Yu An, without batting an eye, said, "Something will happen that will happen that we're both sleeping soundly."
He said that, but his hands honestly pulled out a pillow and placed it upright in the middle of the bed to serve as a dividing line.
Xie Chiyuan looked at the pitifully frail little pillow with complicated emotions and asked sincerely, "You think this little pillow can block me?"
His An'an is so innocently cute.
Yu An clutched the corner of the pillow, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, her voice full of sincerity: "This pillow is a bit small, but I trust you won't do anything reckless!"
Seeing the trust in Yu An's eyes left Xie Chiyuan speechless.
He got up, walked over and patted Yu An's head, whispering, "Your trust was misplaced. After you fall asleep, I'll secretly kiss you and hug you."
Yu An: "..."
When Yu An saw him say so many intimate things in such a serious tone, her forced composure immediately crumbled.
"I... I kept my eyes open all night!"
Yu An's ears turned red, and she said angrily, "I'm not going to sleep."
Xie Chiyuan lay down on the right side of the pillow, staring at him leisurely: "Alright, let's see how long you can keep your eyes open, anyway, I'm not sleepy."
Yu An lay down and wrapped himself up tightly in the blanket, leaving only his small face showing.
Xie Chiyuan said casually, "Your face is showing now. I'm going to kiss your face later."
Yu An slapped her face.
Xie Chiyuan couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable the little silkworm pupa was. He reached out and gently patted it, saying, "Alright, I was just kidding. Come out now."
Yu An huddled under the covers, squeezing and trying to get away from Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan was worried that he would roll to the ground, so he quickly pulled him back.
"Why are you getting more and more excited the more I coax you?" Xie Chiyuan was afraid he would get bored, so he said wickedly, "You really won't come out, huh? I'll count to three, and if you don't come out by then, I'm going to tickle you."
"One, three."
Xie Chiyuan skipped two and started tickling Yu An through the blanket.
A few seconds later.
Yu An giggled and crawled out from under the covers. He laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face, which was flushed red from being huddled under the covers.
"Stop scratching me!"
"Xie Chiyuan, stop tickling me!"
"Big Head! Let go!"
Yu An rolled around on the bed, dodging Xie Chiyuan's hands. He was laughing so hard he was almost out of breath, and his mind wasn't working very well. He found calling Xie Chiyuan too much trouble, so he subconsciously started calling him Da Tou instead.
The two were playfully teasing each other on the bed, and even Xie Chiyuan laughed out loud.
The phone on the bedside table lit up a few times, but no one noticed.
Chi Niao, who was not far away, looked at the screen with a grim expression: "Is Xie Chiyuan asleep? I remember telling him I'd see him tonight."
The magician, standing behind him, casually remarked, "It's the middle of the night, and that guy surnamed Xie is probably busy with something. He doesn't have time to bother with us."
Thinking of the boy Xie Chiyuan always brought with him, Chi Niao turned to the magician and asked, "Do you think Yu An is the key to restraining Xie Chiyuan?"
Upon hearing this, the magician's expression immediately darkened.
"Abandon this idea, and don't use Yu An." The magician made it clear: "Never have this thought again."
The relationship between Yu An and Xie Chiyuan is visibly intimate.
Before long, more people will surely discover their relationship and realize how important Yu An is to Xie Chiyuan.
Controlling the seemingly weak Yu An, and then using that control to control Xie Chiyuan, would likely be a choice many would make. In that case, Yu An's situation might become very dangerous.
But the magician knew full well the consequences of provoking Yu An.
He dissuaded Chi Niao from this idea and repeatedly reminded him not to investigate Yu An or to touch Yu An.
Red Bird remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu An, having had enough of the commotion, rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Tired?" Xie Chiyuan asked in a low voice, noticing the redness in his eyes.
Yu An nodded.
Xie Chiyuan stopped teasing him, covered him with the thin blanket again, and coaxed, "Go to sleep, I won't bother you anymore."
