“I want to be like other kids who have their mother and father tell them stories before they sleep,” Ying Bao cried. “Xi Baby, Uncle Dimple, can you help me?”
There was no way anyone could say no to such a cute little crying girl.
“Jing Xi, why don’t you come up too?” Huo Yunshen said while trying to wipe the tears off Ying Bao’s face with a tissue. “She looks like she’s really sad about it.”
That’s what I’m waiting for! Xu Xiyan celebrated in her head.
Xu Xiyan was trying to hold in her smile as she kept praising her daughter in her head.
“Alright,” Xu Xiyan said. “Don’t cry, okay? I’m coming.”
And with that, Xu Xiyan was lying on the same bed as Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen started to tell his story with his deep voice as if he was a live-cello. The attractive voice made the story more interesting than ever.
Xu Xiyan and Ying Bao kept staring at his face while he spoke, immersing themselves in his voice.
It was the warmest night that Huo Yunshen had felt for the past few years.
How much he hoped that he could continue to tell the story, that Xu Xiyan and Ying Bao could stay by his side forever.

Huang Yanran was sitting in her apartment with rage and evil plans in her head.
She sat on her couch with a cigarette in one hand and a wine glass in the other.
“So, you’re telling me that Jia Qing is still unconscious?” she asked.
“Yes,” He Liang replied.
“We’ll be in trouble if he wakes up,” Huang Yanran said.
“Since he did not do anything to Jing Xi, we can just pay him off,” He Liang said. “I don’t think he will betray us, we should just leave it as it is. Oh, and we can get the doctor’s proof that your wrist is already healed by tomorrow and you can get back to the set. Jing Xi will have to leave by then. Plus, she’s just a small stunt double, there’s no way she could be compared to you, you shouldn’t ruin your career for some nobody.”
He Liang was trying to persuade Huang Yanran to stop what she was doing.
Yet Huang Yanran wasn’t going to let it go that easily. Jing Xi had hurt her pride, and there was no way that she would let Jing Xi off the hook.
“Get that proof!” Huang Yanran scolded. “There’s no way I’m going to let her go so easily! Oh! We shouldn’t be careless about Jia Qing either. Go and take care of this for me…”
Huang Yanran whispered into He Liang’s ear, and he sighed. He didn’t want to do what she had ordered, but he could not disobey her either.
…
Xu Xiyan woke up early on Monday and took Ying Bao back to Jing mansion before she went to the set.
Because Xu Xinrou had taken a few days off, Xu Xiyan would be focusing her work on “Root of Evil.”
Xu Xiyan got to the set and heard that Jia Qing was out of danger but was still in the ICU.
