nShui Anluo blinked and stared at the man on top of her. Even her breathing grew tense.

nThis distance was too intimate until it was almost suffocating.

nChu Ningyi has a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips but Shui Anluo closed her eyes and reached out to block his chest.

nChu Ningyi grabbed her hand with one hand. After he finished kissing her, he murmured into her ear, “Sleep. I’ve promised to give you time so I won’t go back on my word.” Chu Ningyi took the documents on the bed and placed them on the table as he spoke. He then turned off the light.

nShui Anluo rolled so she was on the other side of the little darling. It was safer to have the child in the middle.

nChu Ningyi raised his brow and did not object. Otherwise, this would become a challenge for him as well.

nShui Anluo lay down and stared carefully at him. Chu Ningyi placed his arms under his head and stared at the ceiling, steadying certain emotions within him.

n

n

n“If you don’t sleep, should I think that you’re planning on doing some exercises for me before bedtime?”

nBefore Chu Ningyi could finish speaking, Shui Anluo had shut her eyes.

nChu Ningyi chuckled softly, what a naive little girl.

nAfter Shui Anluo closed her eyes and slowly drifted into sleep, Chu Ningyi glanced at her and got up a little. He then reached out to cover her with a blanket.

n

n

nRegardless of whether he admits to it or not, Mo Lusu’s words today reminded him that he could not keep the matter regarding Shui Moyun from her for very much longer.

nHow should he break the news to Shui Anluo?

nThe sunlight was shining through the muslin curtains, pouring onto the bed.

nThe little darling had woken up long ago and was now being dressed up by his mommy, looking extremely handsome.

nShui Anluo was dressed in the black attire and Chu Ningyi was dressed in a trim suit. Even the little darling was wearing a little pair of black shorts and a small black shirt. His little shoes were also black.

nThe little darling did not seem to like black clothes. So after his mommy put it on him, he began stretching out his arms and trying to pull it all off.

n

n

n“Be good, Baby, just wear this for today. We’re going to visit Grandfather Yuan with Daddy today, okay?” Shui Anluo said and grabbed his flailing little arms. “Look, even Daddy’s dressed in black.”

n“Change him if he doesn’t like it, there’s no need to pay too much attention to it.” Chu Ningyi stared as his scoffing son pinched his clothes. He had frowned as he spoke.

nShui Anluo was helpless as well and had no choice but to change him before he burst into tears. She put him in a little blue bear top and a pair of white trousers. The little darling’s mood perked up only after his tiny shoes were changed to white.

n“You’re more troublesome than your daddy,” Shui Anluo grumbled softly after changing the little darling’s clothes.

n“What did you say?” Chu Ningyi slapped Shui Anluo’s head gently.

nShui Anluo turned around and made a face. She grinned as she said, “I’m saying that you’re handsome of course.”

nThe little darling glared at his mommy irritably. That was really enough, even the baby could not watch this anymore!

nChu Ningyi scoffed as well and led the mother and son out.

n

n

nHowever, just as Chu Ningyi walked out the door, the phone in his pocket rang. Chu Ningyi opened the door and saw Uncle Chu outside. He gestured for him to start the car first then answered the call.

nShui Anluo carried the little darling out. “Let’s go, time to get in the car.”

n“Jiayi isn’t home? Are you sure?”

nShui Anluo had just taken a few steps when she heard Chu Ningyi’s questioning voice from behind.

n‘Yuan Jiayi is missing?’

nIf she remembers correctly, today was the day that her beautiful brother would take her to the graveyard. This had been agreed upon yesterday.
