The night was bright in the living room.
"Xiao Xun, eat slower," Huo Lan You wiped the corners of her mouth, her gaze falling on the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock.
"Mommy, why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" After finishing eating, Xiao Xun neatly arranged the bowls and chopsticks.
"Maybe he's working overtime. Xiao Xun, you have to go to school tomorrow, let's go to bed," Huo Lan You led her into the room, tucked her into bed, closed the door, and the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
"You're back," Huo Lan You breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
Yin He Lian removed his tie, revealing his wheat-colored skin through the loosely buttoned collar, his tall and straight figure exuded a languid charm, and his handsome face with clear-cut features showed a hint of fatigue.
"Why are you back so late?" Huo Lan You asked with concern.
"Not much..." The low tone softened as he met her slightly stunned gaze, revealing a habitual smile, "Nothing, I had dinner with the boss and some clients tonight."
"You said you were just a small employee in the company, why would you have to dine with the boss?" Huo Lan You felt something was amiss.
"Uh... How should I know, maybe he thinks I'm performing well," he took off his shirt, revealing his bare figure under the light, his well-toned abs, and the soft beauty of his abdominal lines.
Even though they had been intimate many times, this was the first time she had seen him so clearly.
Yin He Lian turned his head, seeing her staring at him in a daze, he gave an evil smile, approached, and with his fingers, he stroked her hair, brushed it behind her ear, revealing her complete face.
"You'er..." A finger touched her smooth skin, he leaned down and gently kissed the corner of her lips, then let her go, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Lian..." Huo Lan You looked at the closed bathroom door, for some reason, she felt he seemed very unhappy.
In the bathroom, under the wash of hot water, Yin He Lian wiped his face with hot water and leaned against the wall, tired.
The errands and the need to read people's expressions were really unbearable for him, but for You'er, he had to work hard no matter what.
The lights went out.
She noticed someone carefully getting into bed from behind, Huo Lan You turned around, snuggled into his arms, and the faint scent of soap came from him after his bath.
"Still not asleep," Yin He Lian pulled her waist.
"Lian... Are you very tired..."
"You'er, are you feeling bad for me?"
"Yes."
"Not tired, not at all, I like it when you worry about me."
"Why go to such lengths?" Huo Lan You was heartbroken.
"Because You'er, I love you, you are my heart, my flesh," he held her hand and placed it on his chest.
"Goosebumps," she slightly moved her head, her face in his arms was burning hot.
"Ah, right, You'er, you're going to start working at the police station tomorrow, let's have lunch together from now on."
"Sometimes there are missions, I'll call you when I have time."
"Okay."
