The little one, having no other choice, could only resignedly let him hold her hand and stroll on the observation deck.

The moon is exceptionally round tonight, its reflection on the gently rippling river surface resembling a white jade plate.

The white spray from the cruise ship as it moved forward quickly disappeared.

The two people standing in front of the fence both tilted their chins slightly and gazed at the stars hanging high in the night sky.

One of the bright stars caught Hua Qingyan's attention.

She checked the location several times, unable to contain her joy, and took Ye Minghan's hand, pointing to the star in the sky.

"Hanhan, that's Ye Yanxing."

"Night Star belongs only to you and me."

Her rosy face was adorned with a charming smile.

Ye Minghan looked in the direction of the fingertip, his heart stirred slightly. This was the star he had always been familiar with; it was called "Ye Yan Star".

His surname was given to her first name.

This night was beautiful, so beautiful that Ye Minghan would cherish it for a lifetime.

After admiring the stars and moon, Ye Minghan carried the drowsy girl in his arms, turned off all the lights, and, under the cover of night, walked back to his private suite.

Back in the room, the girl, who was about to fall asleep, was called to take her nightgown and, still half asleep, went into the bathroom to change.

She's still too young. Her Hanhan isn't a beast yet, and he already has other ideas about her.

Therefore, she now does everything herself.

Extremely tired, she suddenly longed to grow up.

In the past, he would always help her change her clothes himself.

She misses the decades he took such meticulous care of her.

After changing her clothes, she closed her eyes and walked back to the soft bed, buried herself in the covers, and fell asleep instantly.

There was no way around it; I was too tired after playing all day.

Moreover, he was too young, and his small body had reached its limit, so he urgently needed to recover his strength through sleep.

When Ye Minghan came out after changing into his pajamas, he saw the girl who had fallen asleep instantly.

She only rolled the blanket around her waist, revealing her slender, fair legs.

She was sleeping face down, her little face buried in the pillow, and the hairband in her hair was still on, scattered messily on the pillow.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye smiled gently, a doting smile playing on his lips.

He walked to the bedside, took off his shoes, got on the bed, leaned over her, and gently untied the lace headband from her hair.

Then turn her over and gently pull apart the blanket that she had rolled up into a ball.

He then pulled her into his arms, covered her with the blanket, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Hua Qingyan sensed the familiar body temperature, subconsciously pressed herself against his chest, which was covered in pajamas, and rubbed against him affectionately for a couple of moments before falling into a deep sleep again.

The moonlight outside the window flowed leisurely, spreading across the river and painting a series of enchanting scenes.

On the evening of the second day, the cruise ship, which had been sailing for a week, finally arrived at its destination, Jiangdong.

This place is synonymous with extravagance and debauchery, a gathering place for prestigious families, and the headquarters of the Dark Night Legion.

Upon arriving at Jiangdong Harbor, the passengers immediately instructed their servants to pack their belongings and disembark.

Ye Minghan, who was still on the top observation deck watching the sunset with his little one, was not in a hurry to leave the ship.

He gazed at her knees, which were enveloped in dazzling golden light, as if she were a sacred and inviolable goddess.

She wore a charming smile as she gazed at the rising sun, which was now level with the river.

The two sat quietly on the observation deck; she watched the sunset, and he gazed at her.

Just as the sunlight was about to disappear below the riverbank, Hua Qingyan turned her gaze back to the handsome man who was still intently watching her, and her pale pink lips parted slightly:

"Hanhan, after we return to the Ye residence, I will be your maid."

"Um?"

The handsome young man in the shirt raised an eyebrow upon hearing her words, meeting her gaze disapprovingly.

Before he could even speak, a slender hand covered his lips.

With a smile in her eyes, she looked up at him and continued:

"Only with this identity can I stay by your side."

"Otherwise, are you going to tell others that I'm your sister? Or a distant relative?"

Hua Qingyan considered the other implications of these identities and immediately rejected the idea; she wasn't there to be his sister.

As a little maid, she'll have a chance to be with him when she grows up.

After all, there are many stories in history of maids rising to power.

Besides, only with this identity could she spend day and night with him.

The more she thought about it, the more she covered his lips and looked directly into his eyes.

"I want to be by your side every moment."

His words were very serious and earnest.

Ye Minghan truly felt her firm resolve. His deep eyes shone with a faint light, and with her small hand covering his mouth, he gently nodded his chin, which was his way of agreeing.

Upon receiving his response, the girl immediately released his lips, wrapped her small arms around his neck, and expressed her joy.

"That's great, I can be with you from now on."

Her fair cheeks were radiant with a sweet smile, making anyone who saw her unconsciously smile as well.

Ye Minghan was no exception; his cool and aloof expression was now covered by a warm smile.

Ten minutes later, the sound of synchronized footsteps came from around the corner of the observation deck, growing louder as they approached.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyan immediately got off his legs, put on her silver shoes, and stood beside him.

The person in his arms slipped away like a little fish, and the warmth on his face was instantly replaced by a cold chill.

His sharp eyes were filled with displeasure at being disturbed.

He picked up the veil draped over the armrest of his wheelchair, looked at the girl standing beside him, and reached out to put it on her, concealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Just as he covered her delicate face, two spirited rows of soldiers arrived at the observation deck.
