Chapter 240 Why Not Take a Bath Together?
Tan Zhengchu shrugged, his tone innocent: "I only suggested taking a shower together, I didn't say anything else."
Su Yingxue looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Tan Zhengchu nodded, his eyes sincere: "Really, I promise."
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to keep your promise. If you're going to take a shower, you can't do anything else."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and followed him inside. Just as he had said, he simply took a quiet bath and did not overstep any boundaries.
Su Yingxue was a little nervous at first, but seeing that he really didn't do anything reckless, she relaxed.
After showering, Tan Zhengchu picked up the hairdryer and gently dried Su Yingxue's hair. His fingers lightly ran through her hair, his movements gentle and meticulous.
Su Yingxue closed her eyes, enjoying his tenderness, and whispered, "When did you learn to be so considerate?"
Tan Zhengchu chuckled softly, his tone indulgent: "As long as you like it, I'll blow-dry your hair every day for the rest of my life."
Su Yingxue smiled, her heart filled with sweetness. She knew that Tan Zhengchu always kept his word.
After drying her hair, Su Yingxue leaned against Tan Zhengchu's chest, feeling incredibly at ease. She whispered, "Zhengchu, all our troubles are resolved, that's wonderful."
Tan Zhengchu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his voice gentle: "Yes, we can live a peaceful life from now on."
Su Yingxue nodded, closed her eyes, and felt his heartbeat. That night, she slept exceptionally well.
Tan Zhengchu also felt that the pain in his body had completely disappeared, and he slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

The next day, Qibao climbed into the big bed early in the morning, put his hands on his hips, stood between Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, and complained with a pout: "Daddy, Mommy, you two lazy pigs, the sun is already high in the sky, why aren't you up yet!"
Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue were awakened by her voice. They opened their eyes groggily, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of gentle smiles.
Su Yingxue sat up, rubbed her eyes, and teased Qibao with a smile, "Qibao, did you secretly take the key to open the door again?"
Qibao pouted and said aggrievedly, "I didn't! I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me!"
Tan Zhengchu fastened his bathrobe, sat up, and said in a deep and gentle voice, "Qibao, happy birthday."
Upon hearing this, Qibao immediately grinned, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Thank you, Daddy! Daddy remembered my birthday, but Mommy seems to have forgotten!"
Su Yingxue smiled and pulled Qibao into her arms, kissing her little face: "How could Mommy forget? Mommy will never forget Qibao's birthday."
Qibao smiled even more sweetly, snuggling against Su Yingxue like a little kitten.
"Mommy, look!" Qibao suddenly jumped out of Su Yingxue's arms, spun around on the bed, and showed off her pink princess dress. "This is a little dress that Great-Grandma bought for me. Isn't it pretty?"
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Wow, Qibao is so beautiful, like a little princess!"
Tan Zhengchu nodded, his tone gentle: "Yes, it looks very good."
Hearing her daddy and mommy's praise, Qibao danced with joy, saying, "Thank you, Daddy and Mommy! I'm going to be the prettiest little princess today!"
"Daddy, Mommy, get up quickly!" Qibao suddenly remembered something and urged, "We need to go to the hotel banquet! Our brothers are waiting for us!"
Su Yingxue asked with a smile, "Are the brothers handsome today too?"
Qibao nodded vigorously: "Of course! The older brothers look so handsome in their little suits!"
Su Yingxue imagined Dabao and Liubao looking like they were wearing little suits and couldn't help but laugh: "Then Mommy will have to take a good look at how handsome our little princes are."
Tan Zhengchu looked at Su Yingxue and said softly, "The children are already five years old. Time flies."
Su Yingxue nodded, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes: "Yes, I really hope they grow up slowly and spend more time with us."
Tan Zhengchu held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, even when they grow up, they will always be by our side."
Su Yingxue wiped her eyes, smiled and shook her head: "I was really overthinking it. Today is the children's birthday, we should be happy."
She patted Tan Zhengchu's arm: "Go and wash up quickly, or Qibao will come to urge you again."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and got up, heading towards the bathroom. Qibao jumped off the bed, grabbing Su Yingxue's hand: "Mommy, hurry up! We're going to the hotel!"
Su Yingxue smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mommy will be right there."
Watching Qibao's cheerful figure disappear into the distance, her heart was filled with happiness. Today's birthday party would surely be one of the children's most unforgettable memories.
The banquet began at four o'clock. Grandma Tan had invited many guests, and the scene was lively and extraordinary.
The guests included Qibao, Dabao, and Liubao's classmates, relatives of the Tan family, and employees of the Tan Group.
The gifts were piled up like a small mountain, a dazzling array, and the children's eyes lit up.
Su Yingxue linked arms with Tan Zhengchu, while Qibao, Dabao, Liubao, and the other six children lined up in a row. The family walked slowly down the red carpet into the banquet hall. Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the guests applauded, praising the family's elegance.
Inside the banquet hall, Erbao and Sanbao had also arrived and were standing next to Dabao and Liubao.
The six children, each holding a gift box, ran up to Qibao and said in unison, "Happy birthday, Qibao!"
Qibao looked at her brothers with sparkling eyes, especially when she saw that they were all wearing white suits and looked exceptionally handsome. She couldn't stop smiling: "Thank you, brothers! You look so handsome today!"
Qibao took the gift box, quietly tugged at Erbao's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Erbao, what gift did you give me?"
Erbao shook his head mysteriously: "You'll see when you open it later." He smiled and took Qibao's hand, "Come on, let's go play with the dolls!"
Qibao nodded happily and followed Erbao to the toy area. The two of them had a great time, laughing all the while.
Qibao discovered that Erbao shared similar interests with him, and grew to like his older brother even more.
On the other side, Da Bao and Liu Bao walked up to Er Bao and San Bao. Da Bao patted Er Bao on the shoulder and said seriously, "Er Bao, San Bao, we have something we'd like to ask you for a favor."
Erbao and Sanbao exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Liu Bao took over the conversation and said in a low voice, "We may have to leave for a while, so we'll leave Qi Bao in your care."
Erbao frowned: "Leave? Where are you going? With Dabao and Liubao here, why would Qibao need our protection?"
Da Bao sighed, his tone heavy: "We have some things to take care of and can't be with Qi Bao for the time being. So, we hope you can protect her for us."
