Xu Tingchuan turned his head and kissed her wet lips.

After taking a bath, the two rinsed off the soap.

After Ni Sitian changed into a light nightgown, Xu Tingchuan carried her out of the bathroom.

They both lay down on the bed. Xu Tingchuan lay on his side, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Ni Sitian.

"You've been acting strange these past few days." Xu Tingchuan stroked Ni Sitian's hair and said in a low voice, "Is it because the maid is bothering you?"

"No, no." Ni Sitian quickly shook her head. She didn't expect Xu Tingchuan to have noticed. She pursed her lips and said, "They are all fine. It's just that I'm not quite used to it."

Her personality is different from Xiang Zhilan's. Xiang Zhilan is more easy to get to know people. Living in Shen Muzhi's villa, she quickly became familiar with everyone. However, she is slow to warm up to people. Even though she knows that she is the mistress of the house, she is not used to having so many people around her.

"If there's anything you're having trouble adjusting to, you can tell me," Xu Tingchuan said softly.

Ni Sitian looked at him, hesitated, then turned and hugged his waist, saying, "This place is beautiful, I like it very much, but it's too big. After you go to work, I always feel so lonely."

In her old apartment, she didn't feel this intense loneliness, so her loneliness was probably caused by the emptiness. Lately, she'd even had trouble writing her script. Although she had many servants, none of them were family, and the loneliness wouldn't go away.

"Do you want to move back there?" Xu Tingchuan looked down into her eyes.

Ni Sitian pursed her lower lip, nodded, and said, "That place feels more like our home. Living here always makes me feel unreal and uneasy."

"Silly girl, why didn't you say so sooner?" Xu Tingchuan thought she was living very comfortably.

“I…you put so much effort and thought into setting this up.” Ni Sitian hugged his waist tightly and said apologetically in a low voice, “It’s all because I wanted to realize my wildest dreams. I don’t know how to tell you this.”

"Silly girl, don't you know what my original intention was in doing all this?" Xu Tingchuan lightly tapped her forehead and said, "I built this place so that you could live comfortably and be happy. It's not a shackle for you. Since you prefer that apartment, let's move back tomorrow."

"Huh?" Ni Sitian looked up in surprise. "Then what about here?"

"Come and stay whenever you want."

“But it’s such a waste to leave this place empty.” Ni Sitian thought about it. Even if this place is empty, it still needs to be maintained and cared for. Besides, this house cost so much money. She could never earn a fraction of that in her lifetime. It would be such a pity to just leave it unoccupied.

"So what do you want to do? You're not going to rent it out again, you silly girl." Xu Tingchuan gently rubbed her nose. Even if someone wanted to rent this house, not many people could afford it. Those who could afford to rent this house usually had to be able to afford a nice house.

“Uh,” Ni Sitian lowered her head guiltily and said, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have joked about wanting this kind of house.”

Then she looked up at Xu Tingchuan and said, "You're not without fault too. You shouldn't spoil me like this. Don't you know that some things shouldn't be taken seriously? It's a good thing you're not a father. If you had a child, he would be spoiled rotten by you."

"I only spoil you." Xu Tingchuan kissed her forehead.

Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian felt a bittersweet feeling. If they had children, perhaps living here wouldn't be so lonely.
