The corners of Xu Yao's lips twitched. What else could she say?

Fortunately, Huai Nan knew that he had picked up a big bargain.

"These past few years, you've worked hard, taking care of your child so well." Sheng Huai Nan said again.

Xu Yao's heart tightened. Wasn't Sheng Huai Nan just saying good words to her first, then finding any random reason to send her off?

Heh! As a merchant, Sheng Huai Nan was always more scheming than ordinary people.

Xu Yao felt sorrowful in her heart. Asking her to let go of this child all of a sudden was something she could not do.

But what could she do to change the situation?

She had personally delivered this child to her doorstep.

Just as Xu Yao was thinking about what she should do in order to stay by this child's side for the rest of her life, Sheng Huai Nan spoke again.

"In the future, I'll have to trouble you. If I marry you, we'll give the child a complete home." Huainan's voice was magnetic.

Tonight, it was going to be especially beautiful, like the sound of a slow cello playing.

Xu Yao's little heart thumped rapidly. What?

Did he hear wrong? Sheng Huai Nan said he wanted to marry her?

Give the child a complete home!

Mm, this was like a transaction. The transaction between them was just to give the child a complete home.

There was nothing else that Xu Yao had thought of after calming down.

"Hmm? You don't seem to be willing? " Seeing that Xu Yao had not said anything for a long time, Sheng Huai Nan asked again.

Xu Yao was momentarily taken aback before she abruptly tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes, "No."

"En, then I am willing. Go to sleep, it's very late. Tomorrow, I will go get my certificate." Sheng Huai Nan was satisfied, then threw another heavy pound.

Still in a state of shock, Xu Yao was still unable to react.

Following that, she was scooped up by Sheng Huai Nan's big hands, and the two of them laid down together.

Xu Yao was momentarily taken aback. Just as she was about to raise her hand to pull Sheng Huai Nan's arm away, she heard him say, "Stop messing around. You can't stand the torment."

These words were somewhat intriguing!

Hearing this, Xu Yao's cheeks quietly flushed red.

Then, she closed her eyes.

A while later, after Xu Yao had fallen asleep, the sound of steady breathing could be heard.

Only then did Sheng Huai Nan let go of her. In the darkness, a trace of light flashed across his eyes.

If they really were to get married, and he didn't have a suitable candidate, Xu Yao would be the best.

After all, Xu Yao had given birth to a child for him. Moreover, Sheng Huai Nan had analyzed that Xu Yao might not be as bad as he had imagined.

Another thing was that although the child had been ill, Xu Yao had never abandoned this child.

Instead, she ran back to ask for his help when she had no other choice.

He was not willing to openly demand anything just because he was a rich man with a huge family background.

She didn't ask him to marry her or take responsibility for her. Instead, she found a job in Nine Cities, wanting to stay by her child's side.

Huai Nan had also seen Xu Yao's love for this child.

Rather than finding a new girl to play the role of the young mistress of the Sheng Family, or worrying all day and all night about how the stepmother would mistreat that adorable little girl, it was better to just have Xu Yao come over.

At least, that woman's goal was very simple.

She only wanted to be able to stay by her child's side.

Therefore, from noon until now, Sheng Huai Nan had been thinking about this problem.

Now, a decision was finally made.

A large stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Sheng Huai Nan also heaved a sigh of relief.

The matter that had troubled him the most had finally been resolved.

Afterwards, Sheng Huai Nan gently embraced Xu Yao in his arms, slowly falling asleep.

It was a good night's rest. Sheng Huai Nan slept exceptionally deeply this time, and only woke up around ten o'clock.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Yao seated at the table, eating breakfast.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Xu Yao caught a glimpse of the now awake Sheng Huai Nan. She had halted her actions of feeding down her mouth, yet there was still some uneaten food left in her mouth.

Xu Yao said vaguely to Sheng Huai Nan, "You're awake?" You want to come over and eat together? "

Sheng Huai Nan did not immediately reply. Instead, he sat up, stretching lazily before staring at Xu Yao.

Xu Yao felt rather uncomfortable being stared straight at like this, hurriedly lowering her head and continuing to eat.

Not long later, the door to the bathroom closed. Xu Yao raised her head and saw that Sheng Huai Nan had entered.

Xu Yao was doubtful in her heart. Not eating a single sentence? What was the meaning of not speaking?

It caused her to buy so much, eat, and then waste it. She was afraid that if she ate it, when Huai Nan came out later, she would not be able to eat it again.

Roughly five minutes later, Xu Yao saw that Sheng Huai Nan had yet to come out from the bathroom. She was already preparing to eat the one she had bought for Sheng Huai Nan.

When she had just brought the piece of beef noodles to herself, ready to enjoy, Sheng Huai Nan came out of the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Yao reflexively put down her chopsticks immediately.

While Sheng Huai Nan had still yet to arrive and had yet to look at her side, Xu Yao had secretly placed the bowl of beef noodles back on the opposite side of the table.

"Let's eat together!" When Sheng Huai Nan came out of the bathroom, returning to the bedside table before coming over, Xu Yao called out to him in a low voice.

Sheng Huai Nan lowered his head to look at the food on the table, then nodded.

For the first time ever, Xu Yao finally received a reply, feeling rather pleasantly surprised.

Then, the two of them started to eat their breakfast face to face.

"What time is it?" Halfway through his meal, Sheng Huai Nan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Yao, asking her.

Xu Yao immediately took out her phone from her pocket and glanced at it, "It's 10: 10 PM now."

"Mm, there's still time." Sheng Huai Nan once again lowered his head, earnestly eating the beef noodles.

Xu Yao was stunned, not saying anything.

Actually, she didn't understand what he was saying.

What's still in time? Was he going to have a meeting?

However, she didn't dare to ask him. Sheng Huai Nan had never given her any face, and she definitely wouldn't find it boring to talk to him.

Until the end of the meal.

Sheng Huai Nan put on his clothes and left, while Xu Yao tidied up the leftovers on the table.

After changing his clothes, he made a phone call. After he finished, he turned around and saw this scene.

Sheng Huai Nan frowned, "What are you doing?"

"Clean it up!" Xu Yao's hands froze for a moment, before she continued tidying them up.

After that, there was nothing left to say.

Xu Yao muttered in her heart. Even though he already knew the answer, he still wanted to ask. He didn't even mention having come over to help out!

Suddenly, he heard Sheng Huai Nan say, "Stop cleaning up. Someone will come over later to clean up."

Xu Yao felt inexplicably pressured. Seriously, why didn't you say so earlier?

Since she was almost done cleaning up, he might as well not say it.

Xu Yao laughed dryly, "It's fine, I'm almost done."
