Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 508 - 384: You Two Look Exactly Alike!

Before Christmas Eve, Bath finally decided to give some time off.

The driver came to pick up Xiao Meng and also dropped Qin Hui off at her relatives’ home in London.

The two didn’t live far from each other and arranged to go shopping after Christmas.

From Qin Hui’s increasingly smug expression, Xiao Meng could sense that her recent interactions with Eric were going well.

Although Xiao Meng wasn’t one to gossip or pry, Qin Hui, who couldn’t hold back her words and only considered Su Xiaomeng a decent friend, ended up spilling everything to Xiao Meng.

This cold winter...

It seems to just freeze these prisoners half to death, but for certain others who are basking in spring, it seems quite merciful.

Bath gave two and a half weeks off, which was quite odd; other schools usually give about three weeks.

Two and a half weeks it is, but the assignments, research, dissertations, reports — they are seemingly endless.

This dashed Su Xiaomeng’s hopes of sneaking back to Beijing for a while during the holidays.

When in Rome...

Let’s just spend Christmas with these stubborn and rigid Londoners!

The happiest when it comes to Christmas Eve and Christmas are undoubtedly the kids.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had known about Santa Claus early on, but it was the first time Xiao Meng told them the story.

The mother and her two children sat around a Christmas tree, and Xiao Meng hung the purchased decorations on the tree while narrating Santa Claus’s story as a fairy tale.

The two little guys stared with their big eyes and asked her,

"If the door is closed, tightly closed, can Santa still come in?"

"Yes, Santa Claus has magic! He gives Christmas gifts to all well-behaved kids!"

"Then, Shuangshuang wants a Snow White’s dress!"

Shuangshuang immediately raised her hand high, shouting loudly as if afraid Santa couldn’t hear her.

Su Xiaomeng asked right away,

"Are you well-behaved? Santa only gives gifts to obedient kids!"

Shuangshuang pursed her lips, then suddenly stood up, spun around several times, and loudly declared,

"Shuangshuang is the most obedient of all!"

"...Liar."

Before Xiao Meng could say a word, Prince Huang popped in with a sarcastic remark and rolled his eyes at Shuangshuang.

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

Shuangshuang frowned, stood beside her brother, and akimboed her hands,

"You’re the liar!"

"You’re lying."

"No, you’re the one lying!"

Seeing Shuangshuang looking all serious, a bit persistent!

Prince Huang never backed down either, as for being considerate of his sister...

He never understood, and even if he did... he pretended not to understand.

Su Xiaomeng always thought so.

Initially, Xiao Meng didn’t take it too seriously and was still busy decorating the Christmas tree...

Suddenly, Shuangshuang burst into tears, and in the corner of her eye, Xiao Meng saw Shuangshuang swung a fist at Prince Huang!

Only then did Xiao Meng realize things had escalated!

"Shuang’er! Why did you hit your brother!"

Prince Huang was hit unexpectedly on the nose, it seemed, and wailed in pain as tears of grievance welled up.

The siblings then started crying competitively in an instant!

Each cry louder than the last!

Su Xiaomeng felt like the people upstairs and downstairs could feel the tremor.

Quickly trying to comfort the siblings.

Prince Huang didn’t care, wedging himself into Su Xiaomeng’s arms, his little paws clutching tightly, crying out,

"Mom... Mom..."

Su Xiaomeng was coaxing Prince Huang when Shuangshuang standing over there started bawling even harder, eventually...

Brought out husband who had been working in the study all Christmas Eve!

"What’s going on here?"

Claire and Lily were also off, so it was just their family in the house.

Su Xiaomeng showed a somewhat embarrassed face...

"Ugh... They fought..."

Yin Shixiu wasn’t even over yet, and Shuangshuang was already dashing toward Dad with all her might!

The flesh on her little chubby legs were jiggling all over...

Xiao Meng found it amusing.

Nope... This is not the time to find it amusing, the siblings are still fighting!

As a mom, she needed to be more serious!

Seeing his daughter so aggrieved, Yin Shixiu’s heart turned soft as tofu, quickly squatting down to pick up his daughter.

"Dad... Brother is a big meanie... Brother is a big meanie!"

Shuangshuang almost screamed those words out.

Yin Shixiu sat down beside Xiao Meng with Shuangshuang, holding one in each arm...

Su Xiao Meng managed to briefly explain what had happened amidst the siblings’ duet of cries.

"The big one said the little one is lying, while the little one argued back that the big one is lying, and it was just pointing fingers... Then I was hanging a bell... Uh... and suddenly the little one hit the big one..."

Yin Shixiu gently patted Shuangshuang’s back,

"Shuang’er, hitting your brother is wrong, your brother is usually so nice to you, isn’t he?"

"Brother’s not nice! Brother’s annoying, brother is a big meanie! I don’t want brother!"

Hearing this, Prince Huang felt quite upset; his nose tingled, and he was again aggrieved.

But though he was hurt, he wouldn’t say.

He just snuggled in Su Xiaomeng’s lap, seeking some comfort.

"When brother eats, does he let you eat first? When you go out to play, does he always hold your hand?"

"..."

Shuangshuang was still crying, but she listened to what Yin Shixiu was saying...

The original incessant crying slowly turned into intermittent sobs.

"Last week when Shuangshuang was sick, did brother voluntarily come to hold you while sleeping?"

"..."

Shuangshuang quieted down, leaning into Yin Shixiu’s shoulder...

"You complained the medicine was bitter, didn’t brother secretly give you sweets to eat?"

Dad even knows this?

Shuangshuang’s thoughts got tangled up...

"Brother is so good to you, then you hit brother and say you hate him, doesn’t that hurt him?"

Yin Shixiu patiently guided her.

Shuangshuang sniffed her nose...

Just as Yin Shixiu thought the little girl had calmed down, she suddenly started crying again...

"Boo hoo... boo hoo hoo hoo..."

"..."

"But he said I was lying... boo hoo... boo hoo hoo hoo... Shuangshuang is obedient... I wasn’t disobedient... boo hoo hoo hoo..."

Yin Shixiu hurriedly patted Shuangshuang’s back as she cried...

If this goes on for a few more minutes, her throat would be hoarse.

"Santa won’t give Shuangshuang a present... what should I do? Boo hoo hoo hoo..."

So it turns out that’s what it was all about!

Prince Huang had already calmed down but wasn’t willing to leave Su Xiaomeng’s arms, holding on tightly to mom.

"Santa will give Shuangshuang a present! Dad guarantees it!"

"Really?"

"My Shuang’er is so well-behaved, how could Santa not want to give you a present?"

Shuangshuang wiped her tears.

To be honest, Shuangshuang kind of felt she wasn’t quite that obedient herself, but having her brother expose her like that, she feared that the magical Santa would overhear...

That meant no Christmas presents! To a child, this problem was extremely serious!

"Really?"

"You don’t believe your dad’s words?"

Shuangshuang sniffled, "Mm... Believe."

"Brother was just joking with you, brother likes Shuang’er the most."

"Mm! Then... Then I... will reluctantly like brother back!"

Shuangshuang said earnestly, her big sly eyes sneaking a glance at Prince Huang...

Happening to catch sight of Prince Huang’s face coming out from Su Xiaomeng’s embrace...

The atmosphere... turned a bit awkward.

Out of the blue, Shuangshuang pointed at Prince Huang and laughed, "Brother cries... so ugly! Hahaha!"

"You’re the ugly one!"

This time Prince Huang threw out another retort.

Su Xiaomeng was alarmed!

Shuangshuang now was quite the little vain one! And Prince Huang saying she was ugly...

Indeed, Shuangshuang suddenly paused her laughter, staring at Prince Huang, taking several deep breaths, wanting to say something but getting too angry to utter a single word!

Right when Shuangshuang was about to cry again—

"You two look the same!"

Su Xiaomeng hurriedly interjected!

Shuangshuang blinked, seemingly understanding, while Prince Huang...

"That’s right... We’re the same..."

Thinking for a moment, and then suddenly the two siblings both began laughing!

The couple finally let out a sigh of relief... gradually welcoming Christmas Eve.
