As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight gently bathed the room in a warm golden glow.
Jiang Ning and Su Meng had actually woken up long ago, but as if sharing a telepathic connection, they both kept their eyes closed in silent anticipation of Mengmeng's awakening.
Mengmeng's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling upon her parents sleeping beside her.
In an instant, a radiant smile blossomed on her innocent little face.
She eagerly reached out with both hands, taking Jiang Ning's hand in one and Su Meng's in the other, and giggled delightedly.
"Daddy, Mommy, Mengmeng slept with you! Mengmeng is so happy!" she said in her sweet, childish voice, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Mmm, Mengmeng is awake," Jiang Ning said slowly, deliberately feigning grogginess, his voice tinged with languor.
"Hehe, Daddy's a lazy bug today!" Mengmeng laughed, her body shaking with mirth, her clear laughter echoing through the room.
"Oh, it seems so. With Mom Mengmeng by his side today, Dad just couldn't resist being lazy."
A faint smile played on Jiang Ning's lips, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Husband, Mengmeng, you're both awake."
At that moment, Su Meng slowly opened her bright eyes, her gaze gently falling on Jiang Ning and Mengmeng.
"Mom, you've become a lazybones today too!"
Mengmeng turned to look at Su Meng, her innocent expression irresistible.
With that, Mengmeng hopped forward like a cheerful little bunny and planted a kiss on Jiang Ning's cheek, declaring in a crisp voice, "Daddy, Mengmeng loves you very much!"
"Daddy loves Mengmeng very much too," Jiang Ning replied, gently stroking her hair.
Mengmeng quickly flipped over and kissed Su Meng's cheek. "Mommy, Mengmeng loves you very much too!"
"Mengmeng, Mommy loves you so much too," Su Meng replied, her face radiant with happiness, as radiant as a spring flower in full bloom. Jiang Ning, lying beside her, found himself mesmerized by her beauty.
"Daddy, Mommy, can our family just stay in bed like this forever?"
Mengmeng blinked her big, watery eyes, turning her head to look at Jiang Ning, then at Su Meng, her gaze full of anticipation.
"Sure," Jiang Ning replied with a smile.
With Su Meng unexpectedly by their side, the family enjoyed a rare, cozy morning of lazing in bed together—a precious moment of warmth.
Su Meng nodded with a smile.
The two adults lay on their sides along the edge of the bed, with Mengmeng nestled between them. Her tiny hands held both her parents' hands, swinging them back and forth as she glanced between Jiang Ning and Su Meng, her face beaming with a sweet smile.
"Daddy, should we play a game?" Mengmeng suddenly asked, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
Jiang Ning's lips curved upward. "Oh? What game does Mengmeng want to play?"
Mengmeng tilted her head, her little eyes darting back and forth as she thought for a moment. Then she exclaimed, "How about you be a horse, Daddy, and let me ride you?"
"Ah, and what will Mommy be?" Jiang Ning asked with a mischievous grin, teasing her.
"Mommy can be a horse too! I'll ride Daddy for a while, then ride Mommy. What do you think?" Mengmeng's eyes sparkled as she looked expectantly at Jiang Ning and Su Meng.
"Okay, Dad's fine with it."
Jiang Ning nodded without hesitation. He'd do anything for Mengmeng as long as she was happy.
"Mom's fine with it too," Su Meng replied gently, not wanting to dampen Mengmeng's spirits.
"Giddy up, giddy up!"
Jiang Ning knelt steadily on the floor, bracing himself on the bed with his hands, his posture agile and strong.
Mengmeng clambered onto his back with glee, shouting with excitement.
Su Meng followed suit, mimicking Jiang Ning's pose and transforming into a "centaur."
The two "centaurs," one male and one female, circled the soft bed again and again.
Mengmeng giggled uncontrollably, her clear laughter filling the room.
As Jiang Ning walked on all fours, his short-sleeved shirt stretched slightly, revealing his muscular torso and well-defined eight-pack abs.
Su Meng, following behind, accidentally glanced up and saw this sight. Her face instantly flushed crimson, like a ripe apple, and she shyly lowered her head.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore, Mengmeng! You ride Mom's horse now. Dad's already circled dozens of times."
"Okay, fine. Then it's Mom's turn."
Mengmeng rested her chin on her small hand, thought for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Ah, Mengmeng, Daddy's horse is very strong, but Mommy's is a bit thin. Why don't you keep riding Daddy's? How about that?" Su Meng urged, a hint of reluctance in her voice.
"But Mommy, we just agreed! Mengmeng promised Daddy. Now it's Mommy's turn."
Mengmeng hesitated, but still insisted on her idea.
"That's right, Mommy can't go back on her word."
Jiang Ning smiled, and without waiting for Su Meng's consent, he stood up, carefully lifted Mengmeng, and gently placed her on Su Meng's back.
"Alright, Mengmeng, just two laps, okay?" Su Meng pleaded, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Okay! Giddy-up, giddy-up! Run faster, horsey! The early bird gets the worm!" Mengmeng shouted excitedly, waving her small hands in the air.
Su Meng climbed up slowly, each step looking labored.
Behind them, Jiang Ning's gaze inadvertently drifted to Su Meng's shapely, curvaceous hips and the waterfall of her hair cascading down her back. A faint, womanly fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
*Gulp.*
Jiang Ning swallowed reflexively, his hand itching to reach out and pinch that soft, tempting flesh.
While his upper body remained under the control of his willpower, the heat rising in his lower half made his face flush crimson.
*No, I can't look anymore.*
His lower body's "dragon king" was raising its head in protest.
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth inwardly, his face a mask of embarrassment.
"Ahem, you guys play first. Dad needs to use the restroom."
He stood up hastily, his voice strained and unnatural.
He turned and fled, terrified Su Meng might notice his arousal, his footsteps quickening as he hurried out of the room.
"Daddy, but Mengmeng wants to ride the horse later!" Mengmeng's plaintive cry followed him, but Jiang Ning couldn't afford to look back.
"Mengmeng, you can ride Mommy first for now," he called over his shoulder before quickly shutting the door behind him.
Jiang Ning and his family lived in an early-style tile-roofed house, and the bedroom didn't have an attached bathroom. The toilet was in a separate room.
Jiang Ning walked into the bathroom, used the toilet, and then took the opportunity to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Under the cool stream of water, the embarrassing "Rising Dragon" sensation finally subsided.
As Jiang Ning emerged from the bathroom, he ran into Jiang Haichuan, his father, returning from outside.
"Ning'er, have you eaten yet?" Jiang Haichuan asked with concern.
"Dad, I just woke up. I'll go eat breakfast right away," Jiang Ning replied, straightening his clothes.
"Oh, are you really leaving this morning?" Jiang Haichuan's eyes showed a hint of reluctance as he looked at his son.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly. "Yes, Dad. Mengmeng needs to get back to work quickly; her company has a lot of urgent matters that require her attention."
Jiang Haichuan nodded understandingly. "Alright then, your mother and I won't try to keep you. Young people should focus on their careers."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. If you and Mom miss Mengmeng, you can come stay with us anytime. We have a spare villa over there, so you'll have plenty of space."
Jiang Haichuan shrugged and smiled. "Alright, then. After a while, your mom and I will come over. We should also meet your in-laws then."
"Okay," Jiang Ning nodded and turned to enter the bedroom.
"Mengmeng, time to get up. Grandma and Grandpa are calling us for breakfast," Jiang Ning said softly as he entered the bedroom.
"Daddy, but Mengmeng's not hungry!" Mengmeng protested reluctantly, still engrossed in her play.
"Mengmeng, we must eat breakfast. The little germ babies in your tummy haven't eaten all night—they must be starving! Do you want to let them go hungry?" Jiang Ning patiently coaxed her.
"Oh, is that right? Then Mengmeng will get up quickly and eat so the germ babies can have a full tummy!" Mengmeng's eyes widened at the thought, and she scrambled out of bed.
Soon, the three of them were dressed. Hand in hand, they walked out of the bedroom in a warm embrace.
