Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 611 - 474: Brother Isn’t Hungry (Second Update)

Chapter 611: Chapter 474: Brother Isn’t Hungry (Second Update)

The sun rose high, casting a blinding light through the stained glass above the church.

Su Xiaomeng squinted at the slightly glaring sunlight...

Shuangshuang always woke up after drifting off to sleep, quietly whispering that she was hungry, and then drifted back to sleep, still hungry.

For adults, going a day without eating or drinking is tough enough, let alone for these two kids...

Prince Huang also woke up, leaning against Shan Mingxu, his head tilted towards his mom,

"Mom..."

He murmured weakly, which made Xiao Meng quickly look at him, a faint smile on her lips as she shaped the words,

"What’s wrong?"

"Will Dad... come to save us..."

This time Su Xiaomeng truly smiled, nodding,

"Of course, Dad is out there trying to find a way right now!"

Hearing this, Prince Huang couldn’t help but look towards the church’s glass windows, as if trying to see if Dad was really out there...

Su Xiaomeng didn’t bother thinking about how Yin Shixiu was doing right now because she knew without needing to think; he must be frantic.

Siren sounds haven’t ceased outside the church, with police helicopters flying over occasionally, negotiating with the criminals through loudspeakers.

Yet the criminals remained unfazed; the only entities able to negotiate with them were the government.

The British Princess was right next to her, a woman of exquisite features, whose nobility and elegance weren’t overshadowed by the current distress.

Even with the Princess being held hostage, both the government and the royal family remained still...

Su Xiaomeng didn’t dare pin her hopes on the British government’s negotiation and rescue efforts.

In the vastness of the church, she stayed in a corner, having examined the church’s environment dozens of times, with armed criminals patrolling back and forth, their sharp eyes scanning everywhere.

The pain in her foot had numbed her.

Time had never felt so prolonged and torturous.

She leaned against the wall, closing her sore eyes, the accumulated fatigue quickly loosening her nerves...

"Mom..."

She awoke again, roused by Shuangshuang’s soft murmurs.

It... was dark.

Xiao Meng opened her eyes and immediately realized, it was dark again.

"Mom, Shuangshuang is really hungry..."

As Shuangshuang said this, tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Su Xiaomeng’s heart clenched with pain for her children, yet she felt helpless.

She gently patted Shuangshuang’s back,

"Dad will come soon, and when he does, he’ll bring lots of delicious treats for Shuangshuang!"

"Really?"

"Of course, when has Dad ever let Shuangshuang go hungry?"

Shuangshuang smiled, leaning on Su Xiaomeng’s shoulder, yawning again, the usually energetic little girl now weak with hunger.

Su Xiaomeng didn’t know how much longer Shuangshuang and Huang Huang could hold on.

Nor did she know if they could get out...

When the sun rises again, will this church’s toll be... a death knell?

Shuangshuang’s little stomach kept growling, hard to ignore even if Su Xiaomeng wanted to; all she could do was hold her tighter.

Just then, Princess Sherry, who crouched beside her, nudged Su Xiaomeng with her elbow.

Su Xiaomeng turned her head to see Princess Sherry tossing something beside Xiaomeng.

Xiaomeng cautiously felt it into her hand and found—two pieces of chocolate.

Princess Sherry motioned towards Shuangshuang in Su Xiaomeng’s arms with a nod, conveying her understanding, as Xiaomeng’s eyes welled up slightly.

"Thank you."

Right now, chocolate was indeed a luxury.

If the rescue would only begin near the end of a forty-eight-hour deadline, then these two chocolates were invaluable.

Xiao Meng didn’t return the chocolates to Princess Sherry; she needed something to appease the two children.

She was genuinely afraid that the children would start crying if they couldn’t hold on.

In this situation, a child’s tantrum could be a step towards the grave.

She discreetly unwrapped the chocolate, quietly offering it to Shuangshuang, who hesitated briefly, then opened her mouth and "awoo" swallowed it down.

Su Xiaomeng quietly said to her,

"There’s only this one piece, and then we have to wait for Dad to come to eat, understand?"

"Huh? Uh..."

Shuangshuang furrowed her brows, "Mom should have said earlier... then I would have eaten it slower..."

Su Xiaomeng was amused by her, ruffling her hair,

"The chocolate was given to you by this pretty auntie beside us; secretly say Thank you to her."

Shuangshuang nodded quickly, her bright eyes blinking at Sherry,

"Thank you~ hehe."

A gratified smile appeared on the Princess’s face too; she and Prince Harry also had a child, but it died shortly after birth.

Since then, they had struggled to conceive again, leaving Princess Sherry in an awkward position within the royal family.

If that lost child had grown up healthy, they would probably be about Shuangshuang’s age now.

Su Xiaomeng still had a piece of chocolate; she unwrapped it and handed it to Huang Huang,

"Shh..."

Shuangshuang swallowed her saliva, mimicking her mom, whispering to Prince Huang, "Brother, eat it quietly, don’t let them find out..."

A piece of chocolate wasn’t enough to fill Shuangshuang’s stomach.

Looking at her brother’s chocolate, Shuangshuang certainly wanted to eat it because she was very hungry, but she also knew if she was hungry, her brother must be too.

Even though Shuangshuang usually grabbed her brother’s food as if what he ate tasted better, and water from his cup was sweeter...

Right now, she was so well-behaved, urging her brother to hurry and eat the chocolate quietly.

She knew it wouldn’t be good if the bad guys found out.

Prince Huang clutched the chocolate; of course he was hungry too, Shuangshuang was greedy, but Huang Huang genuinely had a bigger appetite.

Truth be told, Huang Huang is having a tougher time than Shuangshuang.

Su Xiaomeng was aware of this.

What shocked everyone was when Prince Huang suddenly asked Shuangshuang,

"Shuangshuang, are you hungry?"

Shuangshuang didn’t think much and nodded honestly, "Hungry..."

Without much expression, Prince Huang suddenly smiled, his eyes squinting slightly, "Open wide."

"Ah..."

Shuangshuang obediently opened her mouth when her brother asked, and then saw Prince Huang place the chocolate in her mouth, not forgetting to remind her,

"Eat slowly."

Shuangshuang was momentarily stunned; she didn’t expect her brother to give her the chocolate...

But, Brother...

Shuangshuang’s eyes instantly reddened, not because she was moved, but because she was sad, suddenly wailing,

"Mom, I took Brother’s... and ate it, waaah..."

Shuangshuang was terrified, having been sleeping for two days straight, dreaming a lot, like transforming into Alice, with a dining table full of cakes and sweets just for her.

She also had several nightmares, the final outcome always the same—starving to death...

The most terrifying was her brother starving to death with her...

"Brother will starve to death... waaah..."

No one knew about Shuangshuang’s dreams, her private little world, and she couldn’t fully express it.

But thinking about eating her brother’s chocolate, the thought of him starving, her emotions completely collapsed!

As Shuangshuang cried, Su Xiaomeng quickly hugged her tightly, patting her back,

"It’s okay, Shuang’er don’t cry, don’t cry, it was Brother who gave it to you, it’s okay."

"Ah waaah..."

"Brother is hungry..."

Shuangshuang kept repeating these two sentences, crying with tears and snot streaming down, yet smacking her lips from time to time, afraid the chocolate might spill out... Mm, so sweet!

But once the sweetness passed, Shuangshuang began to break down again,

"Waaah... Brother’s..."

"Brother isn’t hungry, Shuangshuang..."

Prince Huang reached over to pat Shuangshuang’s back, then held her small hand when he saw her eyes reddened from crying, and looked at her seriously, repeating,

"Brother... Brother isn’t really hungry!"

Nobody expected that Huang Huang, not yet three, could do something like this.

As Su Xiaomeng shed silent tears upon seeing her pair of children, she wondered how she could ever despair.
