This also made him realize that here only Ye Fei and Ye Xiaomo live together.

A woman, a child—if an intruder really came in, there would be no power to resist.

It’s imaginable how nervous Ye Fei must have been earlier.

"It’s okay now. Next time, before I come, I’ll let you know first." Zhao Gushen still held Ye Fei, gently soothing her, "Tonight, I scared you."

Feeling Ye Fei’s trembling just now, his heart ached terribly.

He lowered his head, and his lips secretly brushed the top of her hair.

Ye Fei didn’t notice, shook her head: "I was just overreacting, forgot that you could come in."

After speaking, Ye Fei suddenly felt something was off.

When did she get pulled into Zhao Gushen’s embrace!

Ye Fei’s mind went blank with a boom, quickly pushing him away.

Zhao Gushen saw her come to her senses and reluctantly let go.

Ye Fei quickly stepped back, nervously not daring to look at him: "Why did you... come over at this time?"

"I’ve been busy lately, haven’t had time to come see you guys." Zhao Gushen said as he skillfully opened the shoe cabinet, took out his slippers, and changed into them.

"And also, I thought you’re competing tomorrow. If I arrive late, you’ll probably already be on stage, so I came over tonight to see you."

Watching his familiar actions, Ye Fei was in a daze, feeling as if they were already married, the familiarity between them unmatchable.

Ugh!

Ye Fei quickly shook her head.

What marriage, what was she even thinking!

With that shake, Ye Fei suddenly realized a problem: "Did you get in using a fingerprint?"

She remembered she only told Zhao Gushen the password to the fingerprint lock at home but didn’t input his fingerprint.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"I found entering the password quite troublesome, so I also entered the fingerprint." Anyway, he could just operate with the password too.

Ye Fei gasped in shock.

When did that happen!

Zhao Gushen nonchalantly said: "Don’t mind those details."

Ye Fei: "..."

She felt those words were very familiar.

"Xiao Mo wasn’t woken up, right?" Zhao Gushen asked again.

"Let’s go check." Ye Fei said.

Anyway, he’s already here.

Ye Fei came to Xiao Mo’s room door, Zhao Gushen asked: "Did you lock it?"

"I heard some noise earlier, so I feared there was danger." Ye Fei explained softly.

Zhao Gushen’s heart felt as if it was blocked by a stone.

During all these unknown years, Ye Fei lived like this.

To protect Xiao Mo, she always stood at the forefront by herself.

Yet, who can protect her?

Tonight was a false alarm.

But what if there was real danger?

Yet it cannot be said that what Ye Fei did was wrong.

But Zhao Gushen still felt heartbroken.

"Have you ever encountered danger before?" Zhao Gushen asked softly, "Where you protected Xiao Mo, and stood at the forefront yourself?"

Ye Fei paused for a moment, feeling a slight tinge of sourness at being looked at by Zhao Gushen.

"No." Ye Fei smiled softly, "I haven’t encountered such danger."

Ye Fei opened the door, but Zhao Gushen didn’t go inside this time.

He only casually looked at the little one sleeping sweetly at the doorway.

At this moment, he distinctly realized that the little one’s sweetness and carefreeness were all borne by Ye Fei’s heavy load.

He closed the door, said to Ye Fei: "From when you gave birth to Xiao Mo until now, it’s been hard, hasn’t it?"

Ye Fei wasn’t sure which aspect he was referring to.

Zhao Gushen touched his nose, said: "I checked, young children are physically weak and especially prone to getting sick. You’re always taking care of him alone, when he’s sick, you stay up all night with him, with no one to share the burden with you. It’s all up to you."
