Xia Fang rested her head on Chen Yuan's shoulder, covering her face with both hands and chokingly said, "Ah, I understand now... I was overthinking. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Chen Yuan responded with a light smile.
At that moment, Xia Xinyu, who came downstairs, stood at the side with a basin in her hands, tilting her head slightly as she watched the scene, a smile blossoming on her face...
...
Night fell.
While Chen Yuan was leaning against the headboard browsing his phone, Xia Xinyu approached with a basin of hot water: "You haven't taken a bath for two days, so soak your feet for a bit."
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly."
"Baby has been behaving so well, working hard these past few days. It's a reward."
Xia Xinyu placed the basin next to the bed and sat down beside it.
"A reward? Then will you tell me the story of the little duck?" Chen Yuan asked.
