The baby slapped me, and I said, "Sit on my lap and slap me."

Realizing what she was thinking, Su Qingyao hurriedly raised her hand and patted her burning cheeks, as if trying to shake those embarrassing images and thoughts out of her mind.

I can't think about it anymore! Stop!

She took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the flutter in her heart, and turned to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

When I lay back in bed, my mood had calmed down considerably, and I even felt a touch of sweetness because of tonight's small victory.

She hugged the blanket and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Completely unaware that someone in the master bedroom, just a door away, is experiencing unimaginable torment.

……

In the middle of the night, Su Qingyao was awakened by a wave of thirst.

She sat up groggily, rubbed her eyes, and groped her way to open the door, intending to go to the living room to get a drink of water.

The room was dimly lit, with only a night light on.

She shuffled to the water dispenser in her slippers, filled a small cup with warm water, and sipped it slowly.

Just as she had taken a few sips and was not yet fully conscious, a warm and firm body suddenly pressed against her back.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her tightly into their embrace.

"We caught the little rascal who tried to run away!"

A deep, husky, pleasant male voice sounded close to her ear.

Su Qingyao jolted awake, her lingering sleepiness vanishing instantly.

She turned her head sharply, and in the dim light, met Wen Yu's eyes, which were still surprisingly bright in the night.

"Wen...Wenyu?!"

She stammered, her heart pounding, "You, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the curves faintly visible beneath her pajamas, his voice laced with a dangerous mockery, "What do you think?"

Su Qingyao shrank back, muttering weakly, "I...I didn't know..."

Wen Yu didn't say anything more, and simply picked her up horizontally.

Suddenly suspended in mid-air, Su Qingyao let out a short cry of surprise and instinctively hugged his neck tightly.

"What are you doing! Put me down! I... I'm not ready yet!"

She panicked and struggled in his arms, kicking her legs wildly.

"Wen Yu! You bad guy! Put me down!"

Her struggles were like an ant trying to shake a tree to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu held her even tighter in his arms and walked steadily toward the master bedroom.

When she was carried into the master bedroom and gently placed on the large, soft double bed, Su Qingyao immediately went into a state of high alert.

She immediately curled up on the other side of the bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and stared at him warily with her large, panicked eyes, her voice trembling.

"Wen Yu, if you dare to do anything reckless... I'll... I'll never speak to you again! I mean it!"

Wen Yu stood by the bed without saying a word, just staring straight at her with an exceptionally intense and dark gaze.

Just as Su Qingyao was about to suffocate from his gaze, he suddenly chuckled softly and turned off the master bedroom light.

My vision was plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the other side of the mattress sank down, and a body carrying a familiar scent leaned in.

Su Qingyao's whole body stiffened, and she even held her breath.

The expected scenario did not occur.

Wen Yu reached out and pulled her, along with the blanket, into his warm embrace.

He lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on her forehead.

Goodnight, baby.

Wen Yu's voice rang out in the darkness, deeper and gentler than usual, "Go to sleep."

Su Qingyao's tense nerves froze for a few seconds before she belatedly reacted.

That's it?

Is it really just...sleeping?

She sat stiffly in his arms, motionless, for a long while before asking uncertainly in a low voice, "W-really just...sleeping?"

A suppressed chuckle came from above, "If baby wants to do something else..."

His voice was teasing, his breath hot on her face, "I wouldn't mind... staying up all night with you."

"Sleep! Now! Right now! Go to sleep!"

Fearing he might change his mind, Su Qingyao immediately closed her eyes, her hands still tightly protecting her chest, as if she were determined to defend her innocence to the death.

Wen Yu shook his head and smiled helplessly in the darkness.

Is his credibility in the baby's eyes really that low?

He stopped teasing her and simply tightened his arms around her.

With his other hand behind her back, he patiently and gently patted her through her thin nightgown.

Su Qingyao's body remained stiff, her ears perked up warily, guarding against any possible "surprise attack" from him.

With rhythmic taps, enveloped by Wen Yu's aura, her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

My racing heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

Not long after, Su Qingyao's even breathing began to sound softly.

She unconsciously leaned closer to Wen Yu, even finding a more comfortable position in his arms, and rubbed her cheek against his chest in a dependent way.

She felt the person in her arms completely relax, and even began to instinctively rely on him and get closer to him.

Wen Yu felt as if something had suddenly scalded his heart, and an indescribable, scalding warmth surged up.

He lowered his head and, by the faint moonlight from the window, gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes so tender they could melt water.

He gently pulled her closer, completely protecting her within his territory.

I love the baby so much.

Really.

I love him so much, I love his baby so much.

-

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, warmly illuminating Wen Yu's face.

His eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

Before I was fully conscious, the first thing I felt was the soft weight in my arms and the even, shallow breathing.

Looking down, Su Qingyao was nestled peacefully in his arms, her little face flushed from sleep, her long eyelashes like two small fans casting faint shadows under her eyes.

She placed one hand on his chest, curled up like a defenseless cub, nestled trustingly in his territory.

My heart was filled with a sense of fullness and happiness, and I felt incredibly soft.

This was a scene he had dreamed of countless times, and it actually came true.

He couldn't help but lower his head and plant a kiss on her forehead.

so good.

His baby was sleeping in his arms.

This realization filled him with a sweet feeling, and he couldn't help but kiss her nose again, then her cheek.

The movements were gentle, filled with boundless affection.

But as they kissed, the morning reaction that had already started...

It becomes even more vivid under the catalysis of the unconscious nudging of the person you love.

At this moment, Su Qingyao, who was still asleep, seemed to feel something uncomfortable pressing against her, and she moved groggily.

He moved slightly, still half asleep.

But that's just right.
