C36 (2/2)

”Mama, I thought you had disappeared again.” Little Kid hugged onto Yun Xi's thigh, tears brimming in his eyes, ”That's why I'm here to bring me to find you.”

”Mama, can you sleep with me?”

Seeing that he had misunderstood the other party, Yun Xi hugged Little Kid in his arms and said to Di Yanxi: ”Sorry, just now …”

”It's getting late, go to sleep.”

After Di Yanxi finished speaking, he turned around and entered his own room.

Yun Xi hugged Little Kid as he looked at the tightly shut door, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and his star-like eyes gradually lost all light.

This man had helped her when she needed his help the most, but she …

”Mama, let me tell you, daddy loves to eat steamed dumplings.” Little Kid hugged Yun Xi's neck, and said seriously, ”Every time Uncle Mingxuan makes dad angry, all he has to do is buy dumplings, and Dad won't be angry.”

Yun Xi did not expect the Little Kid to be so sensitive, so she lovingly kissed his forehead.

”Mama, can you sing me to sleep?” Seeing Yun Xi's attention return to himself, Little Kid squinted her eyes and spoke in a spoiled manner, ”Just one song. After I finish singing, I promise to sleep properly, okay?”

”It's really only going to be sung once?” Yun Xi pinched Little Kid's round face.

”Yes, yes.” Little Kid nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with expectation.

Yun Xi closed the door and the pair of adult and child crawled into bed. She used one hand to gently pat Little Kid's back and softly chanted.

The song sounded ethereal in the quiet villa, like a elven dirge under the moon.

Di Yanxi leaned against the window, holding onto the red wine, he looked up at the night sky. His eyes that were as deep as a pool had become gentle, and a slight smile formed on his lips, revealing his suffering.

Di Yanxi got up and went downstairs. The fragrance of the dumplings wafted out from the kitchen and he was slightly startled. He walked towards the kitchen with large strides and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure bustling around.

Seeing that the pot was opened, Yun Xi immediately ran over and removed the lid. The steam immediately rushed up, causing her hands to feel hot, causing her to subconsciously throw the pot lid away, making a sound.

At the same time, a large hand gripped her wrist.

She raised her head. It was Di Yanxi.
