When they reached the car, Zixuan helped An into the car, followed by Yu.
As he started the engine, Zixuan glanced through the rearview mirror. An was already asleep, crushing the flower Leo had given her. Zixuan wasn't surprised. It was her bedtime.
Yu sat beside her, his gaze on the window. Zixuan noticed a faint smile on his lips.
Zixuan smiled softly as he drove off.
Parking at the drive-through, Zixuan turned off the engine. He took a moment to look at his children once more before stepping out. Both of them were sound asleep.
He opened the door quietly and carefully carried them, one by one, cradling them like he used to when they were small. An's head rested against his shoulder; Yu's small hand clutched his shirt unconsciously.
Guess they both broke their bet.
He entered the mansion.
"Zixuan," Mrs. Fu called, her voice surprised but soft.
Zixuan turned slightly. "Ma."
