"It's fine," Jiang Ziyu mumbled in reply.
She stared intently at Yuze as he got off the bed and picked up the paper and pen on the table.
*Mommy, stay here with me.*
Sleeping in the same bed as Di Mingjue?
No, no, wouldn't that be inviting him to mock her?
Jiang Ziyu took the paper and pen, and heavily wrote a line of text.
*No!*
Yuze looked disappointed. One was his mommy, and the other was his daddy. They were legally married, so why couldn't they lie together?
His longing made him defy Jiang Ziyu for the first time.
He turned and pulled Di Mingjue, making him sit on the bed as well.
With only a foot of distance between them, Jiang Ziyu silently watched Di Mingjue, who was utterly confused.
"Qianqian, Mommy is going to wash up. You rest with Daddy first," Jiang Ziyu said to Di Mingjue.
As she got up, her swinging arm was grabbed.
Di Mingjue stared fixedly at Jiang Ziyu, his deep eyes making Jiang Ziyu feel a pang of guilt.
She had just said she was going to wash up!
Thinking it over, Jiang Ziyu decided to be direct with Di Mingjue: "Qianqian wants me to lie in bed with them."
Since she couldn't escape, she might as well be upfront.
Di Mingjue was about to mock her words, but the doctor's advice came to his mind before he could speak.
"Alright." For 'Qianqian's' sake, he readily agreed.
Yuze was visibly excited, pulling both of their hands and eagerly urging them to lie down.
Seeing Yuze so happy, Jiang Ziyu complied.
The three of them lying in the same bed resembled a family, seemingly intimate yet each harboring their own thoughts.
Jiang Ziyu turned her head to look at Yuze, who had his eyes closed with a smile still on his lips, feeling guilty.
Yuze had been frail since birth. He was constantly sick in the beginning, and later diagnosed with uremia. His entire childhood was filled with bitter pills and potions.
His illness had also shaped him into someone who always considered others. Even when he didn't want to drink bitter medicine, he would force himself to take it for fear of worrying Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Ziyu propped her head on her hand, gazing at the sleeping figures of the man and the child.
As a boy, Yuze resembled Di Mingjue even more. They looked like they were cast from the same mold!
The next morning, Jiang Ziyu felt a ray of sunlight pierce her eyes. Uncomfortably, she shifted her body, preparing to get up when she felt a weight on her waist.
Mistaking it for Yuze's leg, Jiang Ziyu reached out to remove it from her body.
Unexpectedly, a strong force from behind her pulled her backward.
Di Mingjue's arm was wrapped around Jiang Ziyu's waist, and his sharp chin rested in the crook of her neck.
The familiar scent gave Di Mingjue an illusion, making him believe he was dreaming of the woman he had been desperately searching for, and he greedily inhaled it.
Jiang Ziyu was stunned.
What was he doing!
Before she could break free, the person behind her sat up and pinned her down.
Wait!
Was he crazy?
Jiang Ziyu blocked with her arms against her chest, trying to push Di Mingjue away.
A man's strength was always greater than a woman's. The more Jiang Ziyu tried to push him away, the more he pressed down on her.
While the two on the bed were engaged in a chase, Yuze at the door was recording them with his phone.
On the other end of the video, Qianqian and Xiaoran showed excited, delighted smiles.
As long as Jiang Ziyu and Di Mingjue became a true couple, their family of five would never be separated.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Ziyu saw the instigator, Yuze, through the gap in Di Mingjue's arm.
Sigh, what a kid who'd betray his mother!
Jiang Ziyu felt like crying but had no tears. She resigned herself to being bitten by a dog, allowing Di Mingjue to bite her neck.
Perhaps it was too real, and the reaction from below made Di Mingjue sober up. Realizing his actions, he angrily climbed off her.
The object below had become erect, and annoyance, dissatisfaction, and disappointment washed over him.
"You smelly woman, you tried to force yourself on me while I was asleep!"
Pfft, how dare he say that.
Jiang Ziyu straightened her collar, angrily stepped on Di Mingjue's calf, and got off the bed.
