As Xie Limo attentively fed the baby with the milk bottle, he looked gently at Yun Bixue.

“This child is smart. He's our boy.”

Yun Bixue c.o.c.ked her head and looked at her soundly asleep daughter, then said quietly, “I wonder if our daughter is hungry?”

“Yun Dong has already fed her milk. She only just fell asleep, so don't worry.”

Yun Bixue raised her head and met Xie Limo's gentle gaze. She felt herself lost in that warmth, the warmth that was warming up her body and heart.

Her face flushed in embarra.s.sment.

Her flus.h.i.+ng caused Xie Limo's expression to stir. He reached out to caress Yun Bixue's hair. “Ah Xue, it's been tough on you.”

Yun Bixue knew that the events since last afternoon till now had made Xie Limo feel terrible. She shook her head and comforted him, “Don't say things like that in the future. We're a married couple. I can't rely on you for everything.”

After feeding the child, Xie Limo coaxed him to sleep.

Yun Bixue wasn't of any help and could only watch from the side. She soon got engrossed in Xie Limo's gentle expression.

She felt that her Mr. Xie was truly perfect. He even had a knack at coaxing kids.

After coaxing the child to sleep, Xie Limo didn't let Yun Bixue stay there further, forcibly carrying her back to sleep.

“Ah Xue, be good.” Yun Bixue had no idea that if she didn't have a good sleep, his heart would ache for her.

Yun Bixue pouted. “But I'm really not tired.”

“Lie down for a bit. You will start to feel tired. Hmm?”

Now that Yun Bixue was seeing Xie Limo's bloodshot eyes so up close, her heart quivered and started aching. She had only been concerned with herself and had forgotten that he, too, was exhausted like her.

Yun Bixue reached out and gently caressed Xie Limo's eyes and nodded. “I'm a little tired. Let's sleep!”

“Good!”

“You're treating me like a child.”

Xie Limo said gently, “I've said it before. I will pamper you like how I pamper children.”

While the skies had yet to brighten up, Xie Limo succeeded in coaxing Yun Bixue to sleep.

The servants and hidden guards would take turns watching the babies in the nursery, so Xie Limo wasn't worried for the time being.

He watched as Yun Bixue fell asleep, and only then did he feel more grounded.

He was too worried about her health, yet she insisted on not having it checked by a doctor. The more she behaved this way, the more it worried him.

Xie Limo let out a sigh, then kissed Yun Bixue on her forehead before walking out the bedroom.

He started a.s.signing duties to the hidden guards.

Xie Limo watched the morning news, then said to Xie Wu, “Get our men to keep a closer watch on Xiajun Yanwu. Once His Majesty's funeral affairs are settled, let her undergo trial.”

“Yes!”

Xie Limo also instructed on some matters, then rubbed between his brows, feeling a headache.

Xie Wu hesitated for a while before saying “Young Master Xie, what do we say to the headquarters?”

“Seal the news from them for the time being. Don't bother with it for now.”

“Last night, Young Madam actually caught Brocade Hall's Master, but he escaped.”

Xie Limo's gaze flickered, then said with a sigh, “That Ah Xue was able to capture Dongfang Mujin truly shocked me.”

His eyes then lit up. He was proud of his wife, but he did know what Dongfang Mujin was capable of.

He was only caught because he had underestimated Ah Xue. Likewise, it was expected that he could escape.

“Young Master Xie, Second Elder and his group are being locked up now. Back then, Young Madam said to tell you and leave it to you to handle this.”
