Chapter 9 Yu Chengbai fell off the bed again

Ning Yan finally found Yu Chengbai in Beibei's room.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Beibei refused to go to bed. The maid who took care of Beibei said that she wanted to sleep with her mother, but Ning Yan had already locked herself in the room by then.

The maid couldn't find him, and only found Yu Chengbai waiting outside Ning Yan's door.

Yu Chengbai sat beside Beibei's bed with a bedtime story book and coaxed her for half an hour.

Beibei became more awake as he was coaxed. With his eyes wide open, he kept asking curiously, "Dad, why are the stories you tell different from the ones Mom tells?"

Yu Chengbai was stunned for a moment, then took a look at the cover and found that he had not picked the wrong one.

Beibei said, "Mom said the mermaid didn't turn into foam in the end. She swam back to shore and killed the prince and princess with a Gatling gun. Dad, is this a pirated version?"

Yu Chengbai: "..."

Ning Yan, who was standing outside the door and about to go in, touched his chin and thought for a long time before he remembered that he seemed to have said this in a daze when he was coaxing Beibei to sleep last time.

There was no way. When he was a child, he felt particularly depressed when he heard the story of "The Little Mermaid".

In the room, Beibei seemed to crawl out of the quilt, stretched out her little hand to Yu Chengbai, and said softly: "Dad, I can't sleep, I want to go find Mom."

"But mom has fallen asleep, we can't disturb her rest."

Beibei didn't say anything and was a little depressed.

"If you really can't sleep, let's go for a walk in the garden, okay?"

Hearing footsteps, Ning Yan immediately turned sideways and hid in a door.

After Yu Chengbai left, he walked out carefully and followed him quietly without thinking.

The Ilok Manor, which covers hundreds of acres, has the largest oak forest in the Middle East and the most complete rose garden with the most varieties that cannot be found in the entire wealthy area of the Middle East.

During the time when Yu Chengbai was not back, Ning Yan would often take Beibei to play hide-and-seek in the oak forest or the rose garden.

Ning Yan is not a qualified mother. She always finds a comfortable place to lie down and start to sleep.

But Beibei is a rare well-behaved child. He never gets angry and even goes back to look for Ning Yan. When he sees Ning Yan sleeping on the grass, he lies down like him, then takes his hand and gently places it on his back, pretending to be held in Ning Yan's arms.

——This was discovered by Ning Yan when he was pretending to be asleep one time.

Later, he would subconsciously leave one hand for Beibei when he slept.

There is a tower in the center of the rose garden, which offers a panoramic view of almost the entire manor and surrounding buildings. Every time Ning Yan climbs up, she feels like the princess in Tangled.

When he first woke up, he didn't admit his identity as Evie, so Aya didn't allow him to go out.

Although Aya's way of refusing was to kneel in front of Ning Yan with a group of servants, crying and begging him not to leave, and tearfully saying that Ilok Manor could not do without its mistress.

Ning Yan was wearing a white nightgown, barefoot, and sitting on the swing in the rose garden with a deathly pale face, swinging half-heartedly.

After so many years of running wild in the entire M State, this was the first time I was imprisoned.

It’s not that I can’t leave, but I feel like if I just leave, I’ll be letting these girls down.

The tower is lit up at night.

Ning Yan didn't follow very far and stopped on the second floor of the villa.

He stood on the balcony, leaning over the fence, watching Yu Chengbai walk into the rose garden.

Beibei was in his arms in her nightgown, her head resting on his shoulder, her two little hands around his neck, and she was already yawning.

Yu Chengbai held her back with one hand, patting it gently and coaxing her tenderly.

It might be because Yu Chengbai was too tall. With a height of 1.9 meters, he didn't look tired at all even when holding a six-year-old child.

Ning Yan held his chin and watched for a while on the balcony. The more he looked, the more he felt that Beibei was Yu Chengbai's child.

Yu Chengbai really looks like a father.

Loving, gentle, and full of patience.

Just as Ning Yan was about to leave, Yu Chengbai suddenly turned around and looked in his direction with surprising accuracy.

Their eyes met before they could look away.

About ten meters away.

For some reason, Ning Yan felt that he seemed to be even sadder than he was in the study just now... as if he was some kind of heartless scumbag who abandoned his husband and daughter.

Hiss, why is it even more sad?

Haven’t figured it out after thinking about it for so long?

It was past ten o'clock in the evening and the lights were still on in the villa of the manor.

Yu Chengbai carried the sleeping Beibei back to the room.

Ning Yan was sitting at the dining table, concentrating on eating a plate of black truffle foie gras jelly and grilled sea bass, with a bowl of Brittany wild blue lobster soup next to it.

He didn't have much of an appetite and felt that food from food stalls could whet his appetite more.

Oh, I want to go back home again.

"Madam? Madam?" Aya kept calling him and even poked him with her elbow.

Ning Yan knew what she was going to say, and he sighed as he ate, "A candlelight dinner isn't suitable for an old couple like us. It's too awkward. Let's finish eating and go to bed early."

Aya was very disappointed: "Then please at least wait for the master to eat together. You always waited for the master to eat together before eating together."

Ning Yan continued to sigh: "Just think of the old me as dead."

After saying that, he had just finished eating.

He left his fork and plate behind and went back to his room to sleep.

"Madam!" Aya called him from behind.

Ning Yan pretended not to hear, went back to the bathroom in the basement, took off his clothes and started washing up.

He stood under the shower with his eyes closed, applying the shower gel mixed with medicine all over his body. The hot water revealed his original snow-white skin, and the substance used for face shaping was quickly dissolved and washed away.

When he walked out of the bathroom, Ning Yan had returned to his original appearance.

Her skin was so pale that it looked sickly, her eyebrows were so intense that they were almost gaudy, but her face was exceptionally gentle, making her look very young and innocent.

It is so beautiful that it is overly stunning, yet so harmless that it has no ability to protect itself.

With her long pink hair that had just been half-dried, she didn't look like a killer who would twist people's necks at any time, but rather a scourge that needed to be specially protected.

Ever since he discovered that the color on his body could be washed off, Ning Yan would wash himself clean before going to bed, except when accompanying Bei Bei to sleep.

Otherwise he couldn't sleep.

After coming out of the basement and returning to the room, Ning Yan lay down in the dark.

I'm tired after a day and feel very sleepy.

Just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, Ning Yan's eyes suddenly opened again and his limbs became stiff.

A man's hand was around her waist.

“…”

It’s Yu Chengbai.

Ning Yan widened his eyes and moved to the side cautiously, even breathing lightly, for fear of disturbing Yu Chengbai.

He began to move out little by little, and then move again...

Yu Chengbai's hand on his waist suddenly moved, reaching out to grab his arm. Ning Yan panicked and moved even faster, wishing he could use all four limbs to crawl out.

"Weiwei, be careful not to fall..." Yu Chengbai quickly grabbed Ning Yan's shoulder, stretched out his hand to protect him, and wanted to pull him back, but Ning Yan grabbed his arm with his backhand.

Bang.

A vicious over-the-shoulder throw.

Yu Chengbai fell off the bed again.
