Chapter 36 (1/2)

The next hour was spent watching the man in front of her set her son off in peals of laughter. She was feeling somewhat unsatisfied in her heart. This man was adept at coming between her and her son.

After walking around the garden, it was already 8:30 p.m. On their way back, Gong Yexiao carried the little boy on his shoulders. The little fellow's radiant laughter pierced the night.

Behind them, Cheng Liyue heard her son's spirited laugh. The corners of her mouth curved up into a smile that she herself was not aware of.

As a mother, her son's happiness was her happiness. This sort of feeling was one which she could not suppress.

Back in the living room, the little boy had been laughing till he had run out of strength. Holding the little fellow in his arms, Gong Yexiao could not resist kissing his soft cheeks causing him to become ticklish and break out in giggles. The smile on Gong Yexiao's handsome face came from the love and indulgence in his heart.

Cheng Liyue came upon this scene and was stunned. The man who had spoken to her just now was like the devil himself, but at this moment he had turned into an angel.

Looking at her son sitting on the sofa, she said, “Xiao Ze, it's time for a bath.”

“Mommy, can daddy give me a bath tonight?” The little boy immediately asked.

Cheng Liyue was somewhat angry. The way her son stuck close to Gong Yexiao was ridiculous.

Hearing this, Gong Yexiao looked over at her with a hint of smugness in his charming eyes. Grinding her teeth, Cheng Liyue fixed him with a glare.

“Okay, daddy, will give you a bath, let's go! From now on, daddy will give you a bath every day.” Gong Yexiao was enjoying his son's reliance on him.

“En!” The little fellow bobbed his head in excitement and agreed.

Once they headed upstairs, Cheng Liyue discovered that the domestic help had all left. Cheng Liyue could not help but followed them upstairs. She seemed to recall that there were many bedrooms on the fourth floor. Tonight, after she had lulled her son to sleep, she would go to one of the rooms to sleep.
