Gong Mochen nudged the girl's mischievous little paws off of him. "Being mischievous again?"
"Uncle, can't I sleep!" Qin Sheng poked her little head out of the covers and looked at the man with her adorable eyes.
"Go to the gym? It'll make you tired. I'm going to sleep. There's still the morning meeting tomorrow." Gong Mochen turned his back to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was unwilling to let go and leaned against the man's back. Her head rested against him. The man's pine and cypress scent smelled especially good.
Not long after, Gong Mochen heard the girl's light breathing. She'd fallen asleep again.
He turned around and pushed the girl away. This girl's biological clock at night was very accurate. She could fall asleep only by leaning against his chest. Moreover, her sleep quality was very good. Even thunder could not disturb her when she fell asleep. Now, she was snoozing soundly.
He raised his hand and covered the girl with the blanket.
"Uncle, Uncle..." Qin Sheng hummed.
Gong Mochen stared at the girl's pouted red lips. His kiss landed on her cheek.

In Qin Yunting's room, Zheng Min was still tidying up her clothes.
"Mom, are you done? I'm so sleepy!" Qin Yunting yawned.
"What do you mean, am I done? Who am I doing this for? I need to see what clothes you lack! Duke Li Ang is living in our house. If you don't wear something nice, how will the Duke fall in love with you?" Zheng Min said. She was already thinking about how many clothes to buy for her daughter.
Qin Yunting snorted in disdain. "He'll fall in love with me because of my clothes? What is Qin Sheng wearing? It's a t-shirt and jeans. Li Ang still fell in love with that sl*t!"
It was truly infuriating. The price of Qin Sheng's clothes was not even a fraction of her clothes, yet that devious sl*t had caught the Duke's eye.
Zheng Min thought of something. "Daughter, we're not as smart as that girl! The jeans and shorts she's wearing show her legs! This girl is too smart. Her figure is not as good as yours, so she's showing her legs!"
Thinking of Qin Sheng's fair and straight legs, she was indeed more attractive than Qin Yunting in a long dress...
Qin Yunting looked at her figure.
"Do I have to show my legs too?" she murmured.
"How can you do that?" Zheng Min's eyes turned. "Actually, yes, you can. When you are alone with the Duke."
Qin Yunting said, "Didn't he call Qin Sheng into his room just now?"
"Didn't he chase her away again? Qin Sheng is in your uncle's room now. I'm keeping an eye on her for you," Zheng Min said.
"Mom, just now grandma came to say that Auntie gave us advice and asked us to follow the mother-in-law's path. I think what Auntie said makes sense," Qin Yunting said.
"What makes sense? If she's so capable, why hasn't she married your Uncle yet?" Zheng Min said disdainfully.
This pair of Aunt and Sister-in-law didn't get along. Zheng Min hated arrogant aunts, and Qin Zixian looked down on Zheng Min, whose family background was inferior to the Qin family's.
Qin Yunting nodded. "But at home, there are so many people. How can I get time with Duke Li Ang?"
"Don't worry, Mom will think of a way for you. Mom told you that when Mrs Roland left, she said that whoever can become her son's woman, she will immediately hold a wedding for them!" Zheng Min said.
Qin Yunting understood what she meant.
"After the wedding, I won't go to school here anymore. Ha Siqi will definitely pester me."
"Of course, after the wedding, I'll ask the Duke to bring you back to the kingdom to live in his castle." Zheng Min thought that life was going to be so wonderful.
She packed her clothes and left Qin Yunting's room after making sure that it was late and that everyone had gone to bed, so that Li Ang would not call Qin Sheng into his room again.
However, Li Ang did not sleep at all. He could not fall asleep because of the slight pain. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He still hadn't retrieved the photo and earring, and he'd hurt himself.
If he did not retrieve those two things, how was he going to get Roland to break off the engagement?
'Stupid girl... She never listened to me!' he thought.
Qin Sheng did not want to return his things and wanted to get rid of him. She was dreaming!
His Finger stroked his pointed chin. He seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his lips curled into a devilish smile...
The next day, it was a clear, crisp morning. Qin Sheng woke up from her beautiful sleep, and images flashed in her mind.
Oh my God, she was with her uncle! Amazing!
"Uncle..."
