Chapter 191: Then Can You Like Me a Little More?

The next morning, both Su He and Fu Tinghua woke up exhausted.

They'd stayed up gabbing for hours before finally falling asleep.

Last night, Fu Tinghua had held Su He so tight in his arms that she could hardly breathe.

Early in the morning, Fu Tinghua got up to make breakfast to lift her spirits, knowing she probably hadn't slept well.

Su He woke up shortly after he left the bed.

Strange—she'd grown used to sleeping while being squeezed, and now that she was free, she couldn't fall back asleep.

Suddenly remembering her over-the-top whining from last night, Su He wanted to crawl into a hole.

It was like her brain had glitched—she'd blown tiny things way out of proportion.

Knowing the novel's plot kept warping her sense of reality.

Even when she first met the novel's male lead Ji Liangchuan, she'd freaked out so badly the kids noticed.

She had to stop this. The novel was just fiction, but after living here so long, Su He knew this world was 100% real.

These were real people, not just ink on a page—she would change her children's fate.

Just thinking about how she'd complained to Dr. Fu last night made her face flush with embarrassment.

She slid out of bed and headed straight for the kitchen.

Fu Tinghua, already washed up, was squatting by the stove feeding the fire.

The sight took Su He's breath away—his broad shoulders and narrow waist, those striking handsome features that should've looked aloof but always softened for her.

The way he bent down, completely focused on the flames, was ridiculously attractive.

Knowing this man was hers for good made Su He's heart skip.

Dr. Fu was perfect—so gentle, so kind. She was totally smitten.

Su He darted behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Before Fu Tinghua could greet her, he got this surprise hug.

He dropped what he was doing to cover her hands with his. "What's wrong?"

"Dr. Fu, how are you this amazing?" Su He rarely used this cutesy, lovey-dovey voice with him.

She'd always been the hardheaded go-getter type.

"Then can you like me a little more?" Fu Tinghua turned with eyes twinkling.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Su He teased.

"Yeah?"

"Guess I like you even more now, Dr. Fu."

Here's the edited translation incorporating the expert suggestions:

Perhaps because it was early morning, Su He looked especially soft at this moment.

Su He's sudden confession made Fu Tinghua's heart miss a beat.

Every time he heard the word "like" from her lips, he couldn't steady his heartbeat.

He tried to calm down, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Yeah, same here. It feels like every morning, I like you more than the day before."

"Such a charmer." Su He couldn't help but laugh.

He was handsome, his voice was pleasant, and Su He couldn't resist closing the distance to kiss Fu Tinghua's lips lightly.

When she realized what she'd done, she quickly covered her mouth and darted to the backyard.

"Ew! I didn't even brush yet!"

Fu Tinghua: "......"

He really wanted to say he didn't mind—that she hadn't brushed her teeth.

Fu Tinghua was genuinely happy. He had originally planned to cheer up his wife, but who knew Su He would give him such a good-morning kiss this early in the day?

The earlier tension between them seemed to vanish all of a sudden.

"In the future, let's talk things through when there are issues. These are just small problems, I think," Fu Tinghua added when Su He returned after washing up.

"Yeah, okay."

Afterward, the two prepared breakfast together, and Su He went to wake up the two kiddos.

"Zai Zai, Niu Niu, rise and shine. Do you want to go to town with Daddy?" Su He asked the children with a smile.

Niu Niu, perhaps dreaming of something amusing, was curled up in such a funny position.

At the moment, she was lying with her chubby little bottom sticking up, curled up like a little pill bug on the bed, her small face rosy from sleep, as adorable as a ripe apple.

Meanwhile, Zai Zai's sleeping posture could only be described as a perfect little gentleman.

He lay quietly on his back, his body neatly arranged, without any of Niu Niu's tangled mess.

In stark contrast to Niu Niu, his sleeping demeanor was prim and proper, his little hands resting obediently at his sides, looking utterly serene.

However, just as the adults mentioned going to town, Niu Niu, who had been fast asleep, was the first to open her eyes.

She lazily gave a big stretch-and-yawn before whimpering sweetly to Su He, "Mommy, hug."

That soft, milky voice could melt glaciers.

This little girl was absolutely precious! Su He adored her precious daughter to bits, her heart brimming with affection.

Niu Niu was not only clever and mischievous but also exceptionally skilled at working those puppy-dog eyes, her little face downright kissable that one couldn't help but want to kiss it.

How could there be such a perfect little munchkin in the world?

And her Zai Zai was just as endearing.

Though he always acted like a little grown-up, his well-behaved nature and innocent charm made Su He adore him endlessly. "Aww, come here, come give Mommy sugar."

Here’s the edited translation incorporating the expert suggestions:

Smiling brightly, Su He reached out and gently picked Niu Niu up from the far side of the bed, then started getting her dressed like a pro.

With autumn just around the corner, the mornings in the north were getting cooler. She didn’t want the little ones to get cold, so they needed warm jackets.

"Mommy," Zai Zai sat up just then.

"Okay, sweetie, be patient. Mommy will help your sister with her jacket and shoes first," Su He reassured him.

"Mommy, I can dress myself," Zai Zai replied.

"Wow, you’re such a big kid!"

Su He handed the clothes to Zai Zai, who quickly slipped them on, neat as a pin.

Her little boy was already so independent.

"Mommy, where’s Daddy?" Niu Niu suddenly asked.

"Daddy delivered some steamed buns to Grandpa and Grandma’s house," Su He answered.

They’d woken up early that morning, so she and Fu Tinghua had made a big batch of buns. They’d bring some over to Fu’s parents so the grandparents could take them up the mountain.

"Yay! Buns for breakfast today! Mommy, are there meat buns?" Niu Niu, now fully awake, was instantly full of energy. "Yes, I set aside two for each of you. Don’t worry," Su He replied with a smile.
