The two exchanged gazes for a while before Pei Huaian shifted his eyes away first, lowering his head to kiss the child's forehead.
The little one immediately broke into an adorable grin.
Looking into his pure eyes, Pei Huaian felt a strange emotion rising within him, but he quickly suppressed it.

The thought made him shudder, but he hadn't expected his master to cherish the child so much.

She carefully took the child and placed him on the bed.
Before Pei Huaian left, he reminded her again, "Gaining a reputation might not be a good thing for you."
Shao He remained silent, giving him a deep look until Pei Huaian was far away; then her expression turned serious.
