The Unknown God of War

Chapter 37

Chu Feng was slightly shocked, but Yun Muqing was practically thunderstruck to the point of widening her eyes. Sleeping together? T-That’s unacceptable! She and Chu Feng were only married in name, and if they slept on the same bed, then she’d be taken advantage of for sure.

In a flash, her petite face became a deep shade of crimson and under the moonlight, her face seemed like it was cloaked in a sunset-colored mist. With the blush coloring her pale, gelatinous skin, in addition to the visuals of her seductive figure, she looked truly stunning.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but burst out laughing and planted another two kisses on his cute daughter’s cheek. Who knew his own flesh and blood was a god-tier wingwoman?

Yun Muqing hastily explained herself and consoled, “Duo Duo, be a good girl and sleep with me tonight. Daddy’s really tired, so let him rest in the living room? Okay?”

“No! I want to sleep with both of you!” Duo Duo pouted and leaned into Chu Feng’s arms even as she threw her tantrum. “Xiao Hu does it with his parents, and he said that he only got a baby brother because they slept together.”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she’d just discovered a new continent and jumped up excitedly as she exclaimed, “Daddy, Mommy! I want a brother too! Can you make me another brother? If you do, then Mommy won’t have to keep making me take dance lessons and piano lessons, and I can have double the snacks and ice cream!” Her eyes were almost shining when she contemplated the possibilities.

Duo Duo clung to Chu Feng’s arm and put her charm on full blast as she pestered, “I want a brother! I want a brother! Make me a baby brother!”

Chu Feng looked as if he was dead inside, speechless and Yun Muqing was no better with her blushing. She was embarrassed, but also amused; what were these kids discussing every day? “Duo Duo, um… We’ll talk about getting you a brother in the future,” she explained patiently. “But tonight, you have to listen to me. Daddy is tired, so let him rest in the living room, alright?”

“No!” Duo Duo pouted and doubled on her tantrum. “I want you both to sleep with me! I want Daddy to hug me and fall asleep beside Mommy! That’s how all the kindergarten kids sleep with their parents.”

Yun Muqing was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Why were these kids blabbing about everything under the sun? She intentionally hardened her expression, evoked her authority as a mother and played her trump card as she scolded, “Yun Duo, don’t push your luck. If you keep being stubborn, I’ll deduct a month’s worth of your allowance, and you’ll never be able to have ice cream, ever again.”

Duo Duo immediately lowered her head and fell silent in what seemed to be immense dejection; her little pout and falling tears from her big eyes were positively heart-breaking. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Yun Muqing was already familiar with this trick of her daughter, so she could withstand it, but Chu Feng was a different story, because he couldn’t bear to see his daughter cry. “Alright, Duo Duo. Daddy will sleep with you two tonight, like a family. Okay?” He scooped Duo Duo into his arms and immediately consoled her.

When Yun Muqing’s eyes widened with surprise, Chu Feng shot her a knowing look and whispered, “Let’s pretend to acquiesce first.”

“Boohoo, then the ice cream—”

“I’ll buy you as much as you want. Don’t listen to Mommy, she’s a bad person.”

“Yay! Daddy’s the best! I love you.” The girl instantly stopped crying and kissed Chu Feng on the cheek, even shooting a smug look at Yun Muqing as they went upstairs, as if she was gloating at her mother.

Yun Muqing felt so insulted when she watched both father and daughter leave in a good mood, saying to herself with a bit of resentment, “Who’s the biological parent here? Why do I feel like an evil stepmother?”

Upstairs in the bedroom, Chu Feng slept on Duo Duo’s left side while Yun Muqing slept on the right, leaving Duo Duo in the middle as a third wheel just like she wanted. The girl was clearly excited and wouldn’t stop chattering, making things awkward yet ambiguously suggestive for Chu Feng and Yun Muqing.

Thankfully, children have a limit to their energy, and before long Duo Duo was falling asleep. However, she kept clinging to Chu Feng’s hand as if this father would leave her unless she held on tight, making Chu Feng feel both guilty and resigned. After that, Chu Feng whispered to Yun Muqing on the other side, “I’ll put her to sleep first and go sleep on the couch later. Don’t worry, I won’t let you take advantage of me.”
