Jun Liuli frowned and sat up. He stretched out his arm and took Ding Pei's phone. Ye Zichen glanced at the call and squinted his clear eyes.
Reject. Then, he completely turned off his phone.
Even though he moved extremely quickly, he still disturbed the person beside the pillow.
Ding Pei slowly flicked her heavy eyelids as she mumbled in a daze.
"Hubby, who's calling?"
"Oh, Gene."
Jun Liuli put down his phone and lay down again. He opened his right arm and pulled Ding Pei into his arms.
He kissed her slightly disheveled hair, his eyes filled with a doting expression.
"I'm sorry I woke you up."
"I'm fine."
The corner of Ding Pei's mouth curved into a smile. Her eyelashes blinked twice as she asked.
"What time is it?"
"Oh, eleven-thirty."
Jun Liuli had just looked at the time, so he replied very quickly.
"Why did you come back so late today?"
Ding Pei woke up from her stupor. She felt dizzy and sleepy.
"I went over to my father's place to discuss something with him, so I was late."
Jun Liuli slowed down his speech speed, and his voice sounded extremely gentle.
He gently caressed Ding Pei's face with his warm palm, and a light kiss fell on her forehead with his moderately thin lips.
"Alright, let's stop talking. Let's go to sleep."
At this time, although Ding Pei was extremely sleepy, it was difficult for her to fall asleep again.
Jun Liuli felt a bit of pain in his heart as he listened to her heavy breathing. He leaned to the side and pulled Ding Pei closer to him.
"Wife, how about I sing a song for you?"
Ding Pei's heart throbbed as her hot breath entered her ears.
The man that embraced her had known her for many, many years. He had taken care of her since she was young. After marrying him, he held her in his hands and felt pain in his heart.
Other than his brother Ding Mo, he treated her even better than he did.
"Alright."
Ding Pei pursed her lips and replied in a low voice.
Jun Liuli cleared his throat and started to chant in a low voice.
The swallow returned …
This was a song often sung by the caregivers when they were children in the orphanage.
Ding Pei's heart warmed as a trace of warmth slowly appeared in the corner of her eyes. Gradually, she closed her eyes.

Floating Light Pavilion.
When Rong Lan woke up from her sleep, she was startled to find that there was no one by her side. Tilting his head, he checked the time.
Two in the morning.
At this time, it seemed like Jun Linchuan was resting somewhere else.
A trace of bitterness arose within Rong Lan's heart.
Although they had already found their long-lost son, their hearts drifted further and further away.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but be envious of her sister, Rong Yi.
Rong Lan narrowed her dry eyes and pulled away the quilt. Then he walked to the window, pulled open the muslin curtain, and opened half the window.
The wind in the early hours of the morning was somewhat chilly. Rong Lan couldn't help but shudder and cough when she felt the energy surge within her body.
She did not immediately close the window or turn around. He stood by the window and let the night wind blow.
The hot air surrounding his body dissipated, and his face turned pale.
She looked out of the window with a pair of fine lines in her eyes.
Since this was Jun Linchuan's residence, the street lights were much brighter than everywhere else. Even the guards were patrolling in their 24-hour shifts.
Gradually, the night wind attracted Rong Lan's eyes, and a large amount of mist filled her eye sockets.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
After standing at the window for so long, his body and mind were already feeling very cold.
"Madam."
Very soon, a frantic knocking sound came from the door.
When the night watchman heard the commotion, he immediately informed Rong Lan's maid.
