Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
A black sedan car drove into the castle in the wee hours of the morning and Ye Hao disembarked from the car. He was dressed in a large jacket and his footsteps were hurried while he looked more upset than usual.
It was extremely quiet inside the castle and the lights were all turned off in every room. There was only a sliver of light along the corridor.
He gently opened the door, afraid of disturbing his wife who was probably already asleep. He softly padded into the room and saw that only the nightlight was turned on. The milky white lamp seemed a little dim but the light was very soft and it didn’t hurt his eyes.
He walked to their bedside and just as he thought, his wife was already asleep but he noticed that she seemed a little pale and he could even see the worry written on her face.
Yan Yan…
Ye Hao sat by the bedside and pulled the blankets closer to her. Then, he gently brushed aside the hair from her face.
I’m sorry, Yan Yan…
Ye Hao’s lips moved and his voice was so soft that he was the only person who could hear himself. Worry and concern slowly appeared in his eyes.
He reached under the blankets and held her hand that was much smaller than his own.
Yan Yan, don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side and I’ll walk you through the toughest times. You must remain strong no matter what happens in the future.
Ye Hao didn’t sleep that night and he would sneak glances at his wife who lay beside him. He only felt more rea.s.sured when he saw that she was sleeping well.
The next day, he rose early and went downstairs after was.h.i.+ng up. The maids employed in the castle were all awake and Yuan Yuan who usually woke up at 6:30 AM was riding his baby bicycle downstairs. He had taken a few days to learn how to ride one and now that he was 1 year and 4 months old, he had grown much taller and also had much more hair. He had turned into a handsome young man.
“Pa pa…” Yuan Yuan rode his small bicycle toward his father with some difficulty and carefully got of his bicycle. Then, he wrapped his arms around his father’s legs.
Ye Hao looked at Yuan Yuan who had grown a little bigger and also clocked his flushed face.
Yuan Yuan pouted and his happy expression made him look both cute and adorable. He suddenly reached out to pinch at his father’s cheeks, then made a silly face after doing so, pleased that his little prank had worked.
Ye Hao looked at the child’s adorable actions and he would usually pretend to be grave and call him a naughty boy, but today, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words. There seemed to be something clenching at his heart and he felt like he was in pain.
“Yuan Yuan, give me a kiss,” Ye Hao suddenly turned to place his cheek by Yuan Yuan’s mouth.
Yuan Yuan bit his lips and blinked up at him as though he didn’t know what to do since it was usually his mother who would ask him for a kiss.
“Pa pa…” Yuan Yuan said, then he suddenly stretched out his hand after some time to smack his father’s cheeks.
Ye Hao stopped pus.h.i.+ng Yuan Yuan for a kiss when he saw that Yuan Yuan couldn’t understand him. He put him down onto the floor and stroked his head as he said, “Yuan Yuan, you must be a good boy in the future, do you understand?”
Yuan Yuan nodded as though he understood him and repeated after him, “Good boy!”
“Yes,” Ye Hao said as he stroked Yuan Yuan’s face. “Yuan Yuan is a good boy.”
