After a while of crying, Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing actually fell asleep in Ye Fei's arms. Looking at the two women—one mature and the other innocent, yet both stunningly beautiful and tear-streaked—Ye Fei felt a surge of compassion. He knew they probably hadn't slept soundly in a long time.
Not wanting to wake them, he gently shifted Xu Shuyun from his embrace and let her lean against the back of the sofa. Then he picked up Ye Jing and slowly carried her into Xu Shuyun's bedroom. Since Ye Lingtian wouldn't be sleeping there, he decided to let the two of them sleep together.
He walked out, bent down, and lifted Xu Shuyun into his arms. Her soft and delicate body made his heart flutter, but thinking of her pitiful situation, he quickly suppressed any inappropriate thoughts and hurried toward the bedroom. In his haste, he didn't notice that as he picked up Xu Shuyun, her eyes had briefly opened and then closed again, and her heartbeat had quickened.
