TGLC Chapter 36.2

Duan Zihui then continued to tell her other stories.

The little girl listened to the story with great interest.

So much so that it was already 11:30.

Duan Zihui glanced at the time and realized it was quite late, so he reminded her, “Alright, you should go to sleep.”

Little Zhuzhu was a little reluctant to go to sleep.

She still wanted to hear a story and asked her father, “Dad, will you stay with Mom tonight?”

“Hmm.”

He was used to staying up late, staying in the living room until three or four in the morning before going to rest.

“What about tomorrow night?”

Her father’s stories were so good; Zhuzhu didn’t want him to leave.

The child looked at him expectantly. Duan Zihui couldn’t help but rub the little girl’s soft little head and said with a smile, “We will talk about it tomorrow night. You don’t want Mommy to have a fever until tomorrow, do you?”

Today was a special case.

Suddenly, Zhuzhu asked, “Dad, will you live with us in the future?”

Actually, Little Zhuzhu had asked her mother about this question before.

Her mother told her that she and her father were not suitable to be together, but now the little girl suddenly wanted her father to live with them.

That would be wonderful.

That way, when her mother was sick, someone would take care of her, and someone would tell her stories.

Although…

The nanny could do these things, but Zhuzhu always felt that something was missing.

It seemed like no one could replace it except her father.

“Daddy, I really wish you could tell me stories every night until I go to sleep.” Zhuzhu said softly, with a hint of anticipation.

Duan Zihui smiled: “That’s not something Dad can decide.”

“Then who decides? Mom?”

After thinking for a while, Little Zhuzhu came to the conclusion: “That’s terrible! Mom hates you so much; she definitely won’t want you to stay at our house. If she wakes up, she might even kick you out.”

Duan Zihui: Why are you speaking such blunt truths?

He closed the book, his expression calm, and urged Zhuzhu: “Alright, you can go to sleep now.”

“Okay, Daddy.”

It was indeed very late. After yawning, Zhuzhu obediently went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she went to the next room to check on her mother. Seeing her mother still asleep, she leaned close to her mother’s ear and whispered, “Goodnight, Mommy~”

Then she ran back to her own room.

Duan Zihui took his little daughter to her room. After she fell asleep, he went to check on Xie Qingyu. She was still asleep, but she seemed to be uncomfortable; her brows constantly furrowed.

He sat down by the bed, touched her forehead, and was relieved to see that her fever had subsided. Seeing her furrowed brow, he felt a pang of sadness and reached out to smooth it.

The way she frowned was not attractive at all.

But Xie Qingyu, even in her sleep, seemed to dislike him, swatting his hand away.

This woman, she really couldn’t be quiet even at a time like this.

Duan Zihui looked at his hand, which was a little sore from being slapped, smiled, and covered her with the blanket.

Then he went to the living room to do his own thing.

He turned the table lamp in the living room to its lowest setting and, in the dim light, began to do his own thing.

Duan Zihui was very focused when he was working. He timed it precisely, checking on Xie Qingyu again about an hour later.

After confirming that she did not have a fever again, he went back to the living room to continue his own business.

He worked until late at night.
