After a whole day of emotional turmoil, exhausted Qin Yuji fell asleep the instant the room plunged into darkness when the man turned off the lights and held her in his arms.
In her dream, she sat in a small courtyard in the countryside, drawing water from a well to wash a few children's clothes, while outside the gate, a crisp voice loudly called for "Mom."
Even in her sleep, Qin Yuji could feel the joy and pride that came from the heart.
The next morning when she opened her eyes, every cell in her body felt indescribably comfortable. She stretched and kissed Chi Jingxuan.
They got up together, washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs, just in time to see Sister Ming set the breakfast they always loved on the table.
