Chapter 359: Bedtime Story

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Bedtime Story

Xiaoqiao made the bed, lifted Xiao Nian onto it, and then went to check the doors and windows.

The little one had already become impatient, rolling back and forth on the bed in a round, chubby bundle until she finally saw mommy come over, and immediately rolled into mommy’s arms to nuzzle.

"Mommy, can Xiao Nian always sleep with mommy from now on?" the baby asked with a look of anticipation.

Xiaoqiao really didn’t want to lie to him, but she couldn’t bear to say no, so she just mumbled "Mhm" as a way of agreeing.

"Sleep now."

"Mommy, can Xiao Nian listen to a story before sleeping?"

"What does my treasure want to hear?"

"The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother."

Even after the story, the baby still didn’t want to sleep.

"Mommy, Xiao Nian wants to hear mommy sing!"

Xiaoqiao patiently accommodated each of his requests.

"My little treasure, treasure, giving you a bit of sweet, so you’ll sleep well tonight, my little devil, devil, teasing your brows and eyes, making you love this world. Woosh lalalalalala, so you’ll sleep well tonight, pinching your smiling face, making you love all of tomorrow..."

The little one listened until he was drowsy, rubbing his eyes, then got up, poked his little bottom in the air, and dug out some colorful candies from the head of the bed to stuff into her palm.

"Daddy says mommy likes strawberry flavor the best! Daddy also says you can’t eat candy at night, mommy must be obedient, you can only eat it tomorrow..."

It wasn’t until he did this that the baby finally fell asleep with peace of mind.

Xiaoqiao held those candies, her heart brimming with sweetness.

Embracing the soft warmth in her arms, how long had it been since she had slept so peacefully.

However, knowing all this happiness was stolen, that fear of loss made even the sweetness carry a trace of bitterness, filling even her joy and happiness with sorrow.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Nian woke up to use the bathroom.

Xiaoqiao turned on the light and took him to the restroom.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of the living room, some unknown object had appeared, and by the time Xiaoqiao noticed, she had already tripped over it, followed by the jarring sound of porcelain shattering.

It turned out to be a vase...

She clearly remembered that this vase was on the left side; how did it end up on the right?

It must have been Xiao Nian playing around today.

"Mommy..."

Xiaoqiao hurriedly knelt down to comfort the startled child, "It’s okay, it’s just a broken vase! Don’t be afraid, darling!"

Xiaoqiao was about to start cleaning up when there was a knock on the door.

Who could it be at this time?

Xiaoqiao told Xiao Nian to stay where he was and went to open the door herself.

As soon as the door opened, she felt her shoulders seized by a pair of broad palms, followed by an extremely anxious voice, "What’s happened?"

"Mr. Ren?" Xiaoqiao looked somewhat bewildered.

"I... I just got back and heard some noise over here, so I came to check." Gu Hangshen explained.

The truth was, he had not slept all night, standing on the balcony separated by a single wall, listening to every little sound inside.

The time Leng Tou had fought for was not much, and the sleep he missed when not near her was undoubtedly the greatest waste.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I was about to take Xiao Nian to the bathroom, and I accidentally broke a vase on the way out," Xiaoqiao replied hastily, her face tinged with sadness.

Indeed, leaving back then was the right choice. Just getting by without causing trouble for others was already a hopeful wish, how could she possibly have the capacity to protect her treasure?

"As long as you’re okay." Gu Hangshen’s tone clearly relaxed, before he asked, "Did you get hurt?"
