Jiang Ziling never questioned, all he could do was silently accept and try his best to become a solid support for Su Yu, rather than an additional burden.
So, he gently lifted the already sleepy Xixi, stepped into the cozy bedroom, and carefully placed her on the soft bed with motions as tender as if he were handling a precious piece of art.
Once the child was settled, Su Yu finally enjoyed a moment of tranquility. She walked into the bathroom, letting the hot water wash away the day's fatigue and dirt, as if the warm water also took away some of the heavy burden in her heart.
After bathing, she didn't relax at all, immediately throwing herself into preparations for tomorrow's visit to the Young Master Tutor's Mansion. She selected and organized each gift, ensuring they would accurately convey her intentions and sincerity.
The night deepened, and fine rain filled the view outside the window, quiet and lingering, as if the sky was also sharing its unknown secrets.
