He folded his arms around his chest and leaned his back against the door stack. His expression was light, but his eyes were deep, half-smiling, "Yunhen's proposal sounds good, do you want to consider it?"
Xi Haitang gasped, how could this man be so bad, how could he say such things in front of his children! Yunhen is already pitiful enough, you can't just give him hope and then let him down!
Although Yunhen was young, he was a bit more sensitive and mature than other children of the same age. He seemed to have noticed the undercurrent between the two adults, and his expression suddenly returned to its previous state. His handsome little face was mostly indifferent and disappointed.
Being deeply hidden, he looked at Xi Haitang with some guilt, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made it difficult for you, I just... really want to have a mommy..."
Xi Haitang's heart was clenched tightly, as if it was about to be twisted into a knot. This child is so sensible and strong, but he is also so heart-wrenching!

This child's request was so humble. He just wanted her to be his mommy for one night, just one night!
She couldn't help but think of her son. For seven years, she hadn't been with him for even an hour, let alone a night. Yunhen was as pitiful as her son!
His eyes became softer, Xi Haitang took Yunhen's hand and said softly, "Auntie, I promise you, stay tonight."

At night, Xi Haitang put Yunhen to sleep and moved into the guest room. Just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Xijue's dangerous aura hit his face...
