Yun Xuefei's eyes widened as she looked at him, her breathing a little hurried.
But she quickly recovered and said, "How have you come back... Tang Yuan's birthday isn't here yet."
"My work in Yangdong City has concluded, and I won't be leaving again," he said, gazing deeply at her. "From now on, I can spend more time with you... with our daughter."
Yun Xuefei seemed not to notice the shift in his words, stunned for a moment before saying softly, "...Come in."
After speaking, she led the way into the living room.
The living room floor was scattered with toys and drawing books; a small figure lay in the middle, already asleep. She had two pigtails sticking up, her cheeks a rosy red in slumber.
Yun Xuefei, seeing this, a hint of helpless indulgence crossed her eyes as she smiled: "She fell asleep again..."
She walked over, lifted her daughter from the floor, and called softly, "Tang Yuan."
The little girl woke up suddenly, her eyes wide, "Mommy, I wasn't asleep!"
