“Miss?!” The little dumpling tilted her head sideways and urged Luo Chenxi.
Luo Chenxi shook her head frantically to dismiss the distracting thoughts and slid into the bed. She had only just laid down when the little dumpling rolled into her arms to cuddle her chest. “Goodnight, Miss!”
“Goodnight, Tang Tang.” The little dumpling’s delicate face was blushing light pink. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
At first, Luo Chenxi was still feeling rather worried. She heard that the act of coaxing a child to sleep was a highly difficult task. Furthermore, she was inexperienced when it came to that. Mu Yichen would be furious if he were to learn that she accidentally made Tang Tang cry during the process.
Fortunately, Tang Tang behaved herself very well and actually fell asleep by herself.
As she held the small dumpling in her arms, the little girl felt soft, warm and fuzzy.
Listening to Tang Tang’s slow breathing, Luo Chenxi’s tensed mind gradually relaxed after a long day. Without realizing it, she gradually drifted off to sleep as well.
By the time Mu Yichen got out from the shower, he witnessed the scene of the mother and daughter sleeping soundly together. The scene was harmonious beyond his expectations.
Tang Tang’s appearance looked 70% similar to her mother’s. It was just that Luo Chenxin’s eyes were always flickering with greed and conspiracy. The sight of her disgusted him every single time. On the other hand, Tang Tang was pure and adorable such that one could not help loving her from the bottom of the heart. She was completely different from Chenxin.

However, right now…
Mu Yichen’s gaze shifted to Luo Chenxi. He had a look of deep ponderation on his face.
Sleeping soundly, the wicked woman looked so naive and harmless. Her fair skin was blushing in her sleep. She had a set of slightly pouty lips and long, curly lashes akin to little fans that looked exactly the same as Tang Tang’s.
Anyone could see and sense that they were mother and daughter with a close relationship.
Mu Yichen’s gaze grew deeper and deeper. His body was also moving closer and closer toward Luo Chenxi’s.
“Hmm…” Luo Chenxi suddenly turned over in her sleep and gave out a soft grunt.
Mu Yichen only realized that he had gotten so close to Luo Chenxi without even noticing it when he was almost kissing her. “Damn it! What did this woman drug me with this time?!”
He leaped up at once and walked into the bathroom with long strides as if he was running away from a killer.
…
The next morning, no one was by her side by the time Luo Chenxi woke up. She was all alone, lying in the center of the huge bed with her arms and legs spread as if she was making a snow angel.
Luo Chenxi sat upright in an instant. She looked to the left and to the right only to see that both her sides had been slept in before. She bit her nails awkwardly.
“I remembered placing Tang Tang in the center of the bed last night clearly! Was my sleeping posture was so bad that I squished her in my sleep? However, if that is the case, Mu Yichen would have fallen over from the bed because of me, right?”
She slept in someone else’s room and almost pushed someone over the bed. It was an exceedingly sinful crime!
Luo Chenxi got up and washed with a shameful and uneasy feeling in her heart. She saw that her phone was still placed on the bedside table, so she reached it and plugged the charging cable into the phone.
As soon as her phone was turned on, a few ringtones pinged continuously and startled her.
Luo Chenxi hastily reached for the phone and took a look only to discover that there were seven to eight missed calls from yesterday. All the calls were made from the same unknown number. At last, this particular number sent her a text, perhaps after noticing that her phone had been turned off all the time.
[Miss Xing Chen, congratulations for winning the preliminary round of the Chinese Design Competition. You have been accepted into the next round.

Luo Chenxi was stunned for a moment upon reading the text message. After that, a pleasant surprise was revealed in her expression.
