Chapter 3: Hidden in the Dark… Part 2—The Neighbors Across—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby)
When Jiang Qibing returned home, he even held in his hands a small, pretty cardboard box with two exquisite cakes inside.
Neither he nor Jiang Ziya liked sweets, so he had only bought two small cakes for his wife and his daughter. Merely thinking about the sweet smiles they would show while eating them lifted his mood.
The moment he walked in, he couldn’t wait to shout, “I’m home.”
The entire place was filled with the aroma of food and the familiar sound of stir-frying vegetables from the kitchen. Jiang Qibing’s heart was immediately filled to the brim with warmth.
As she was in the middle of stir-frying the vegetables, Jiang Yu obviously couldn’t step aside, but she didn’t forget to shout, “Jiang Jiang, Xiao Xue, go welcome your bàbi!”
…Xiao Xue?
Jiang Qibing froze.
“Bàba!”
“Bàbi!”
Two little girls rushed out from their room, practically pouncing on Jiang Qibing at the same time. One grabbed his left hand and the other grabbed his right. The two little faces on both sides were exactly the same and couldn’t be told apart at all.
Jiang Qibing looked at his pair of daughters, a bit stunned.
