Lan Li Ling smiles, he feels happy though he felt teased at his husband bluntness he was satisfied. 

"Wife," 

Lan Li Ling was snapped out of thought by the placing of something in his hand, it was a small rocking horse toy he turned it upside down to see the beautiful characters on his belly. He then saw the three baby cot and was in awe.

"Husband… there is no need for so much!" 

Yan Chao Xiang things for a moment but then said, "what if one suddenly broke," 

"It won't, how can a cot break unless intentional or made poorly!" Lan Li Ling said.

"You can give it away to your relatives then," 

Lan Li Ling thinks his brother's wife recently gave birth to baby twins, he can give them the two!

Seeing the wifey pleased, he snapped his fingers and the servants brought the blankets. 

"Good texture and comfy, on the left is baby on the right is you," 

"Me? I don't need blankets," 

Yan Chao Xiang takes on the blanket a plink blossom decorated one then slightly rest it over his shoulder, "you need to be comfy, not only baby. My wife as well," he said.

Lan Li Ling blushes, Yan Chao Xiang's face was stiff and cold but his words were so warm and affectionate that it made Lan Li Ling dizzy with confusion!

He shouldn't be excited over such little things when he married twice but he feels like a petite maiden with this treatment! 

"Uh, thank you!" 

Yan Chao Xiang feels he is terrifying his wife. His heart was so excited it can't be good, "more things, aw! Go call the children" he orders the servant.

"The children?" Lan Li Ling asks 

"Toys" 

"Ah right!" 

Meanwhile in the backyard Xin Yong Nian is playing with Yan Mei Lin, "right here are my Ant friends, they aren't very nice… so don't play with them".

Yan Mei Lin tilts his head and looks at the little brother showing him the ins and outs, "we can go play with mommy soon, I'll show you my little brother! Hou Yan calls him dumpling, he calls me meat bun and you biscuit. So I'll call you biscuit, can I call you biscuit?!" 

Yan Mei Lin nods shyly, Xin Yong Nian smiles, "that's great! Then call me meat bun! Biscuit welcome to our family! You won't go hungry and can't sleep and play all day!" 

The servants awe at the children who are playing, Yan Mei Lin feels a warmth in his chest. But he wonders how his mother is doing. Is it right to accept a new family?

Soon a servant came and bows, "children the master call forth," 

The children soon follow behind her as they leave sight a male servant plops on the ground.

"What's up with the master?! First a nobody from nowhere, now a slum pest!" Soon this place will be filled with infestation!" 

"The only infestation here is your nasty mouth!" A female servant rebukes him.

"Who taught him such big words?! I thought his brain was too small for that!"

"You!" 

"You best not say anything if you don't have anything good to say!" Another maid rebukes.

The children soon joins in the room and bow slightly, "good afternoon Hou Yan" 

Yan Chao Xiang looks at them nodding, "children toys," 

They both looked up and Yan Mei Lin didn't move after all it was probably meant for Xin Yong Nian, seeing the rocking horse he went over curiously. 

"Hou Yan?" Xin Yong Nian inquires. 

"You like it?"

Xin Yong Nian nods, "take it" 

Xin Yong Nian smiles as Yan Chao Xiang walks up and picks him up putting him it and gently rocking the chair, "Yeah!" Xin Yong Nian cheers

Yan Chao Xiang looks at Yan Mei Lin, "go on" 

Yan Mei Lin fidgets as he walks over to the place where lots of toys were, what caught it his eyes was a doll house. And not just any doll house on that was made in details resembling the imperial palace, it looks expensive. Seeing the little lamb nervous standing and staring Yan Chao Xiang whispers to the maid then went to the toy house takes it up and offers it to him.

"Do you like it? Little Meat bun cannot play with such a toy so I'll leave the duty to you," 

Yan Mei Lin looks at him in awe, "Hou Yan?" 

"For now there is only the emperor and empress," 

Yan Chao picks up a box that was beautifully carved, picking off the top Yan Mei Lin smiles there was little pieces of carved out humans. Though there wasn't anything on the inside such as face of the carved out clothing. 

"If you'd like you can have your clothing be carved when you're ready and who you want to be carved," he said 

"No, I'm okay," 

Yan Mei Lin feels a rush of excitement as his heart pumps blood and Yan Chao Xiang can't help but wonder.

'Am I such a scary person? Why everyone heart terried' 

~short~

Yan Chao Xiang casually walks sees servants bows in terror, hears the rapid heartbeats.

Yan Chao Xiang watches his children cutely, Xin Yong Nian feels happy seeing his stepfather and wants to play with him gets excited and hearts beat fast then shies away from Hou Yan. 

Yan Mei Lin feeling shy about his clothes Yan Chao Xiang praise his good looks, Mei Lin feels good about being praised heart in crease as he goes silent.

Yan Chao Xiang casually stares at his wifey, Lan Li Ling curious about why his husband is staring. Yan Chao Xiang unknowingly flirts and says something blunt, wifey heartbeats increase as he shies away. 

Yan Chao Xiang sits in a corner gloomy and sulky as he stares at dumpling, "Maybe it's my face, should I wear a mask? At this rate everyone will have heart problems".
