132 Like Father Like Son (1/2)

Not long after, she falls asleep in his arms.

Han Yuan carries her up to her room and tucks her in her bed. He doesn't change her into her pajamas this time. The weather is getting much colder so he just wraps her up in a thick blanket and leaves only her face exposed.

She looks so peaceful while asleep, Han Yuan stares at her face, lost in a trance.

”So beautiful.” He says and places a light kiss on her forehead.

Is he making progress with her? If a woman can fall asleep in your arms, that means she trusts you.

Does he have another chance to make her his again?

If she lets him back in her life, he'll cherish her this time and make sure that she doesn't shed another tear.

He takes a seat on her bed and just stares at her.

”Lian, I'm sorry.” He runs his fingers through her hair.

”Thank you for staying alive.”

”Thank you for giving birth to Yichen.”

”Thank you for not finding someone else.”

”More importantly, thank you for coming back.”

He brings out his phone and makes a call to his assistant. ”Deng Xiao, I want you to get me all the information surrounding Tang Xiu's death.”

After hearing a response, he ends the call and looks at her sleeping figure.

”You just rest well, leave everything to me.” He kisses her forehead again before leaving her room.

Once he leaves, Su Lian opens her eyes and stares at the place where he stood before.

There is a complicated expression on her face.

She wasn't asleep, she woke up the moment he started wrapping her around in the thick blanket. She pulls it off of her and takes in a deep breath.

She felt suffocated with it. It's cold but the heat is on so there is no need for this. Where did he even get this from?

She doesn't understand him. He thanked her so sincerely and is investigating her mother's death.

Just what exactly is he playing at?

Why is he helping her?

She thought so much until her head hurt and she did the opposite of 'rest well'.

.....

The next morning, Yichen woke up feeling very refreshed.

He ran to his mother's room and started jumping on her bed. ”Mommy, I met grandma and grandpa.”

”They bought me so many toys and said that I should go visit them again. Can I?”

Su Lian groans and places a hand on her forehead.
