Lost One's Soldiers After Losing One's Wife

Yu Yuehan, himself, was also taken aback by his sudden sentence.0

After regaining his composure, his frivolous heart had calmed down.

He was gratified to have poured his heart out.

However, anxiousness came right after the sense of gratification.

When Nian Xiaomu did not give a reaction straight away, he could feel his heart pounding at the back of his throat.

Lowering his eyelids, he was ready to seriously ask her about it. In the next second, he saw her open her eyes slightly, and then closed them slowly.

Then, she lay on his chest and fell asleep.

She had fallen asleep just like that…

So, did she even hear what I said just now?

Yu Yuehan lifted his hand, ready to nudge her. However, he put it straight back down, pursing his lips in hesitation.

He sighed as he held Nian Xiaomu in his embrace.

It was only after great difficulty that he managed to deceive her into coming back, and so she was in his embrace. If he had woken her up and did not manage to convince her to move back in, he would not even get to hug her. He would have lost his troops after losing his wife [1. To lose one's troops after losing one's wife in Chinese means to have suffered a double whammy after trying to take advantage of something. ]

Forget it.

Hug first. Talk later.

Yu Yuehan tightened his embrace around Nian Xiaomu, who was lying on his chest, sleeping like a child.

He felt a surge of sleepiness from the lack of sleep over the past few days.

Yu Yuehan fell asleep after closing his eyes.

But before he fell asleep, his mind was filled with how he wanted to make Nian Xiaomu move back into the house the next morning.

However, Yu Yuehan did not have the chance to do so as he was woken up by Nian Xiaomu's push in the middle of the night.

"Yu Yuehan, let go of me."

"Not letting go of you!" exclaimed the man who had just gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. He replied without thinking when he heard that he was being loathed once again.

"…"

Nian Xiaomu was obviously stunned. However, very quickly, she said, "Xiao Liuliu has got a fever, are you going to wake up?"

"…"

Without letting go of Nian Xiaomu, Yu Yuehan sat up on the bed in an instant.

Nian Xiaomu, who was still lying in his embrace, sat up along with him.

It was not until Yu Yuehan had touched Xiao Liuliu's feverishly hot forehead, did he knit his eyebrows and release his arms from around Nian Xiaomu.

Then, he embraced Xiao Liuliu who was still groggy in her sleep.

"Call the doctor…"

"Carry Xiao Liuliu. I'll get the fever medicine left behind by the doctor. Give it to Xiao Liuliu first to break the fever," said Nian Xiaomu. She had taken up nursing previously and also had basic medical knowledge as Tan Bengbeng had nagged about it regularly.

It was apparent that he had calmed down.

Seeing that Yu Yuehan had woken up, she went downstairs to get the medicine.

Xiao Liuliu was running a temperature, but she was unaware of it. She was still sleeping and had only felt that her body was uncomfortably hot, only whimpering occasionally due to discomfort.

When Nian Xiaomu brought the medicine upstairs, Yu Yuehan took it from her and dissolved it in water, feeding it to Xiao Liuliu carefully.

His skilled actions made it seem like he had been doing it regularly.

Meeting her shocked gaze, Yu Yuehan collected his gaze and said, "Xiao Liuliu was only one year old when she first came to me. She was only a tiny child who could only say 'Daddi' and 'Milk, milk'. I didn't know how to take care of kids, but she was also unwilling to be taken care of by others. She fell sick frequently during that period of time."

Yu Yuehan knitted his eyebrows very tightly as he seemed to have recalled something.

When Xiao Liuliu had first arrived in the Yu Family's villa, he was very guarded around Xiao Liuliu. However, she was so soft and tiny and looked very much like him. Hence, he could not help but soften his heart all the time.

He let her behave however she liked. Besides feeling curious, he also could not help but feel rueful about the child's energy, as he looked at how she could play for the entire day.
