Nan Baihao at the other end of the phone heard his laughter; believing that his action made his older brother very satisfied, he was even more enthusiastic. He said loudly, "Then, brother, I’m hanging up. Rest assured, I will completely tear down the Xia Family, without any rcy!"
Gu Shaocheng’s mind was on the girl who was sound asleep, drooling. He casually responded with a couple of hums, and as he hung up the phone, his eyes glanced around, found the tissues on the chessboard table, walked over, pulled out a couple, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.
He was very careful, scared of waking the little girl from her sweet dreams.
He knew she was dreaming sweetly because her lips curved slightly upward, looking incredibly adorable.
As soon as he exited the door, the butler promptly ca to greet him: "Sir, you’re awake?"
Gu Shaocheng chin up, he carried the sleeping Chen Xing, who was in his arms, with the princess hold to her bedroom. He tucked her into bed, and as he was about to leave, he heard Chen Xing’s murmuring sleep talk clearly, resonating in the quiet bedroom.
"Shaocheng, no more sadness..."
Then, she grabbed a pillow, hugged it, as if it was him, and kissed it. She mumbled in her drowsy state: "Don’t push yourself too hard...it hurts ...Shaocheng...I am here for you..I will share weal and woe with you..."
In that mont, Gu Shaocheng found his eyes moistening.
Swept by an undeniable warmth, like a hot stream, it began spreading slowly from the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, I got it."
He returned to the bedside and quietly stared at Chen Xing. He reached out and his hand landed on her forehead, slowly drawing circles on it.
Such an understanding little girl...
Such a caring young woman...
The oppression deep in his heart seed to be washed away.
Causing his composed deanour to ripple uncontrollably with emotion.
Gu Shaocheng sat quietly for a while, the inner turmoil, the knot he could never untangle. His gaze fell on Chen Xing’s forehead, he watched her long eyelashes occasionally flicker. That slight movent seed to skim past the darkness of his heart. He inhaled deeply, as he gradually cald the bitterness in his heart. He leaned his whole body forward, kissed her cheek twice,
and nodded slightly. It was as if a lingering cloud between his brows finally dissipated bit by bit, making him seem much more relaxed. The dark aura surrounding him faded away, and the words he spoke carried a sense of Release.
"I promise you, you won’t have to worry ever again!"
------------------------------------------
"Sir, these are the details of the marriage ceremony that Miss Chen Xing researched last night." The butler stood next to Gu Shaocheng, looking at the neatly organized desk. Gu Shaocheng wasn’t pleased, saying, "Why did you let her stay up late? I could have taken care of these things myself."
The butler remained silent.
"Don’t allow her to stay up late anymore."
The butler responded quietly, "I understand my mistake."
Seeing that the master was not really angry and that his expression revealed a hint of affection, he continued, "Actually, Miss Chen Xing is concerned about you, Sir. Seeing you work day and night without taking care for your own health, Miss Chen Xing is truly an understanding girl."
"Do I need you to tell that?" Gu Shaocheng gave him a cold glance, "Go, tell the kitchen to make a nutritious soup, and when Chen Xing wakes up, remind her to drink it."
