"...and finally, the prince, the princess, and their little baby lived happily ever after." Rong Yan finished reading the last word, gently closed the storybook, and stealthily glanced at the sleeping face of the little one.
The more she looked, the cuter she found them.
She kissed the little one's face quietly and tucked them in properly. She carefully extracted her sleeve from the little one's grasp and then tiptoed off the bed.
Rong Yan left the bedroom, carefully pulling the door closed behind her.
Only after the door was completely shut did she breathe a sigh of relief. She moved her stiff neck around and went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of water.
Her mouth had been nonstop for over an hour, she was dying of thirst, thankfully the little one had fallen asleep quickly.
