‘Hur. Sleeping? Yan Rusheng, you’re really good at pretending.’
‘You’re just like a baby. How can you sleep without Wen Xuxu?’
Lu Yinan and Ming Ansheng hurled sarcastic insults.
‘These two fellows didn’t believe him?’
Young Master Yan frowned and he stretched his hand to switch on the lights. He raised his phone to snap a photo of his darling Wenxin.
He kissed her rosy cheeks and snapped a photo.
Then he quickly typed a message.
‘I have my little lover in my arms. Don’t be envious.’
He was gloating.
Lu Yinan replied. ‘It’s not as if we don’t have any daughters. I have two and I will hug one with each arm.’
Yan Rusheng was speechless.
Ming Ansheng typed. ‘Haha. Bragging blindly without checking your facts.’
Young Master Yan was insulted once more, and he exploded. ‘Get out of my sight if you want to continue talking. Don’t disturb my sleep.’
He was about to cast his phone aside when Ming Ansheng swiftly replied. ‘You’re really at home. Don’t you know that your Wen Xuxu has left home?’
They were discussing earlier with Jiang Zhuoheng about Wen Xuxu leaving home. So these fellows obviously knew that he was already aware.
They had done it on purpose.
Young Master Yan thought, ‘I don’t care if she left. As the saying goes, spare the rod, and you will spoil the child.’
Anyway, there was no way he would be able to leave Wenxin tonight. So he should seize this rare opportunity to brag to the rest of these fellows.
Neither Ming Ansheng nor Lu Yinan believed him at all.
They replied sarcastically once more.
‘Will you die if you don’t boast?’
‘I bet he has no idea of Xuxu’s whereabouts. And he must be so anxious right now.’
Yan Rusheng’s pulse quickened at their replies and anger leaped inside of him. He flung his phone away.
He stared at the ceiling as he blinked his eyes. He wasn’t sleepy anymore.
He turned his body and shut his eyes. After a few seconds, he flipped once more and shut his eyes…
He repeatedly tossed and turned and he finally cast the blanket away. “Wen Xuxu, you stupid woman! Where did you bring my mom to?”
“Daddy, what’s wrong?”
His actions woke Wenxin up and she stared at him, looking afraid.
‘What is wrong with Daddy? Is he going mad?’
It struck Yan Rusheng at that moment that Wenxin was sleeping next to him. He abandoned his frustration and anger and smiled at her. “Wenxin, be a good girl. Go to sleep. Daddy is sleepwalking.”
He slumped back on the bed and closed his eyes as he pretended to sleep.
He wanted to act as if he was really sleepwalking.
“Daddy has nightmares. Don’t be scared.”
The girl thought that he had a bad nightmare and she turned sideways. She patted his chest gently to calm him down.
Yan Rusheng felt as if there was a warm current coursing through his body right now. He didn’t open his eyes and murmured, “Darling Wenxin is the best. Daddy is fine. Let’s sleep.”
He embraced the girl tightly with his arms.
And his heart quietened down by her gentleness and love.
…
After a long night, Young Master Yan woke up feeling lethargic.
He had the thought of looking for Wen Xuxu in the morning. He returned to his room and saw the doc.u.ments that Xuxu had prepared for an important meeting.
