After Lian Xinying returned to the bedroom, she started bathing her daughter, with Xiaocheng trailing along beside her like a little shadow she couldn't shake off.
He hadn't seen his mom for three days, and now that she was back today, the little guy was exceptionally clingy.
It wasn't clear whether Yan Ye was genuinely drunk or just pretending; as Lian Xinying was finishing the bath for her daughter, Yan Ye came in.
Once inside, he lay down directly on the bed.
When Lian Xinying carried her daughter to the bed, she leaned closer to sniff around his nose and mouth.
There was a faint scent of alcohol, but it wasn't overpowering.
According to Lian Xinying's guess, he was likely just too exhausted and had fallen asleep.
Beside them, Xiaocheng watched his mom do this. After Lian Xinying walked away, Xiaocheng also leaned down next to Yan Ye and sniffed around Yan Ye's face.
