d silent.Gu Changqing looked at her quietly for a while, put down his wine glass and got up: "Let's eat!"Wen Man's expression was cold. "Gu Changqing, you don't need to do this."She said that, Gu Chan...Lu You thought he should let her go.

But as she opened the car door, Ye Bai got out from the other side. She leaned against the car door and looked at him in the darkness, her voice barely a whisper for fear that the housemaids would hear: "Ye Bai!"

This is Lu's house, her brother and sister-in-law are both here.

Lu You doesn't want things to become unclear.

But Ye Bai was quite insistent. He walked over… and then a windbreaker covered her shoulders. He looked down at her, his gaze more unfathomable than the night: "It's this late, the children must be asleep. I'll just take a look and leave."

Lu You didn't move.

Ye Bai gently embraced her shoulders and, with a hint of force, led her into the house.

And the maid was still awake.

Seeing them enter, he quickly rose and said, "Miss, Master."

After finishing, I felt it was inappropriate.

Lu You also didn't bother to correct him. She softly asked, "Is the child asleep"

The maid quickly replied, "She's already asleep! Just now, the auntie took the milk bottle downstairs and said she was sleeping soundly."

Lu Yu nodded.

She took off her windbreaker and, without saying another word to Ye Bai, went upstairs by herself.

Ye Bai went upstairs under the gaze of the servants. The two arrived on the second floor, and Lu You's voice was suppressed: "Don't wake her up later."

After that, she glanced at him.

Ye Bai understood her meaning. If he didn't follow the rules, he probably wouldn't have a chance.

He hummed softly.

Auntie was sleeping in the outer room and, hearing the noise, quickly got up and threw on her clothes: “Miss Lu.”

Lu You softly told her to go to sleep and walked into the children's room with Ye Bai. Although the aunt was surprised, she still lay down...

Moonlight was like water, Xiaolu Hui lay on a pink little bed, sleeping soundly.

He is almost two years old, and still likes to kick the blanket.

At least it's not cold.

Lying on the little bed right now, wearing a little cow onesie and sunning her tummy.

Under the moonlight, Ye Bai looked at that soft and tender little face, as if seeing Lu You's appearance when they first met... It was also like this, white and tender, but now Lu You was thinner with more of a woman's flavor.

Ye Bai couldn't help but bend over and kissed her baby's little belly through a layer of connected pajamas.

The scent of milk on a child's skin is heartwarming.

Ye Bai didn't know how gentle his eyes were at this moment. He regretted it, he regretted missing Xiao Luhui's growth.

Babies around one year old are incredibly cute.

Xiao Luhui usually sleeps soundly, but tonight she woke up unexpectedly. The little one hummed and mumbled as she turned over, her dark eyes, like grapes, met Ye Bai's gaze.

The little guy stared blankly.

For a while, she leaned over and stretched out her chubby hand to touch Ye Bai's face.

with a touch of curiosity.

A warm little hand touched Ye Bai's face, carefully stroking it... Probably still half asleep, the little guy mumbled "Baba" in a dazed voice.

Ye Bai's eyes were hot and brimming with indescribable emotions.

That little man leaned against him so close, trusting him with such vulnerability, soft and tender…a small life, once abandoned by him.

Ye Bai knelt half-way, gently embracing her.

Xiao Luhui giggled in her dream, then exhaled a sweet breath and fell back asleep comfortably.

Ye Bai didn't want to let her go.

He slowly leaned his head over, drawing in the scent from the little one, as if this could somehow make up for two years apart.

Lu You kept watching from the side.

After looking for a long time, she still couldn't help but go out. She quickly walked to the corridor outside and slightly tilted her head... that way, tears wouldn't fall.

She felt a mix of emotions she couldn't describe.

How heartwarming was that just now, the pain Ye Bai inflicted on her was just as deep... If she hadn't experienced it, she wouldn't yearn for it. But she had once received the best love and lived the happiest days.

At this point, Lu You felt not only love for Ye Bai but also hatred.

Love and hate are intertwined.

made it difficult for her to easily say she loved him.

The aunt sleeping in the outer room also guessed that there was something going on between them. She didn't dare to speak up and pretended to be asleep... After a while, Ye Bai came out of the children's room. He saw Lu You standing there, his figure looking lonely under the crystal lamp above the hallway.

Ye Bai walked over slowly.

Lu You leaned against him, her expression serious in a way he had never seen before. Her voice was low too: "Ye Bai, have you thought this through If you want me to be with her, then you need to be ready to be a good father. I can't accept another day of you asking me to consider it... if you need to consider it, we shouldn't have been together two years ago! Ye Bai, any marriage built on hesitation should not exist."

Ye Bai didn't speak.

He just gently put his arms around her shoulders, holding her in his embrace.

Lu Yu leaned against his shoulder.

Two people silently,

Moments later, the fabric of his shirt against his shoulder was damp and warm. He knew Lu You had been crying.

She cried softly and restrainedly.

She cried with restraint but also unwillingness.

How could she possibly consent to this, forgiving him just like that But what could she do... She still loved him, the man who had once given her everything.

Night, growing ever more silent, with all things hushed.

Ye Bai held her, for a long, long time...

The balcony of the easternmost bedroom, visible from here, showed Lu Shuo wearing a black robe, holding a high-ball glass in his hand, silently watching this way.

Lu Shuo considered himself not to be a magnanimous person.

If this were ordinary circumstances, Ye Bai would definitely beat up Lu You for owing him.

Just like back then, Huo Yunsi thought about beating Zhang Chongguang every day, but... Ye Bai is different from Lu You. He could tell that Ye Bai loved Lu You, plus Ye Bai had been through something.

Lu Shuo lowered his eyes: What could be more tragic than death!

When Lu Xun came out, Ye Bai had already gone downstairs and sat in the car, ready to leave.

Lu Shu turned his head to look at his wife, pulling her into his arms with one hand and resting his chin on her hair. He smiled softly, "Lu Xun, your old Bai is finally here to stay. Are you happy You'll be able to see your old Bai often now"

In the dim light, Lu Xun's face was flushed.

Even at her age, she was still uncomfortable with intimate jokes between husband and wife.

She bit her lip: "I'm not happy at all! ...Also...it's not my Lao Bai, Lu Shuo, if you say it again I'll be angry."

Lu Shuo kissed her cheek gently and put down the wine glass. "Let's go to sleep," he said.

He hugged his wife back to the bedroom, stretched, and finally got a good night's sleep.

……

Since that night, Ye Bai has often appeared by Lu You's side.

There weren't too many special dates.

When the company was not busy, he would go to Lu You's place, cook a meal for her and the child, and play with little Lulu. The little one loved playing with soccer balls. Later, he also took Dodo there so that Lulu could play with the dog.

The female dog, about six years old, could also tell that Xiao Luhui was a human cub.

He indulged her very much.

Not only does he play with her, but Xiao Lu also lets him ride on her like a horse. When he gets tired, he leans against her and falls asleep.

In the afternoon, Xiao Luhui leaned against Ye Bai's leg.

Her big eyes blinked rapidly.

She tried hard to listen to the story for a while longer, but she was too tired from playing. After struggling for a bit, she slowly closed her eyes.

The dog, seeing this, also immediately closed its eyes.

Ye Bai carried the little one to bed and sat beside her, watching quietly for a while before wiping away her sweat.

Xiao Lu is quite clingy.

She slept, holding onto Ye Bai's arm.

Ye Bai smiled gently, lay down sideways, and let the little one sleep in his arms... Little Lu Hui arched twice and fell asleep comfortably.

Yè Bái coaxed for a long time before getting up, he went to find Lù Yōu.

Lu You was drawing manga in her study. She didn't like to sit at her desk, but preferred to curl up on the soft sofa, with her two slender legs crossed and her notebook resting on her lap.

Ye Bai walked over and took away the notebook.

"That's not good for your circulation!"

Lu Yu looked up at him.

She was dressed casually at home, in black trousers and a white shirt, with a Dior shawl draped over her shoulders... Her long black hair fell to her waist, adding a touch of femininity.

Ye Bai put the notebook on the desk.

He leaned in and kissed her softly, his lips brushing against hers as he murmured, “Back then if I’d taken things from you, you would have fought me tooth and nail. Lu You, now you're being so polite and distant.”

Lu You looked up, her voice soft: "In the past, you weren't my ex-husband either!"

Ye Bai stared at her,

His eyes, suddenly became unfathomable.

Besides the deep affection, there was an undeniable hint of desire in her eyes.

Lu You was a mature woman. She wouldn't naively believe that starting anew with Ye Bai would be like their Platonic love from before. Several times when he kissed her, she could feel his passion...

For over a month, he had taken several cold showers.

Her heart was beating a little fast, so she made an excuse: "I'm going to check on Xiao Luhui."

But before she could stand, her wrist was caught, and then she tumbled into his arms.

Ye Bai embraced her with one hand, and closed the study door with the other...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!neck and said, "I got it neutered. From now on, it's yours."Wen Man didn't notice what he had in his hand, she just happily patted the puppy.This is indeed a very good New Year's gift.The little white...
