A large, warm hand was placed on Zizai's small back, and Zizai's trembling body gradually calmed down under the soothing touch and gentle tone of his hand.
While comforting him, Yan Shao held him and slowly submerged him in the water. At this moment, Yan Shao was like a big eucalyptus tree, while Zizai was like a little koala clinging to the big eucalyptus tree he depended on for survival, holding him tightly.
Zizai wrapped his arms around Yan Shao's neck and his legs around Yan Shao's waist, his small body pressed tightly against Yan Shao's chest.
Yan Shao's heartbeat was steady and strong, thumping against the little guy's relatively weak heart through his skin.
The scorching heat gradually seeped into the little guy's cool skin.
"Daddy...it's cold..."
In a semi-dazed state, it was unclear whether Zizai was genuinely cold or simply recalling some unpleasant memories.
Yan Shao didn't ask whether his son was really cold or just having a bad memory. He simply used his other hand to gently scoop up the warm water from the bathtub and slowly and continuously poured it onto his neck, shoulders, and even his face.
"Baby, Daddy's always here... Don't be afraid!"
Finally, the little guy's body slowly warmed up, and his previously tense body gradually relaxed.
Young Master Yan had never been so patient in washing him clean, even cleaning his toes. During this time, Zizai didn't say anything, but his reaction was one of complete entrustment and trust. He calmly let Young Master Yan wash him and then came out wrapped in a towel.
Zhu Qianying saw the little guy leaning his head on Yan Shao's shoulder, clearly asleep.
"Take a bath?"
Zhu Qianying deduced the specific activities the father and son were engaged in inside based on the timeline, her tone revealing a hint of anticipation.
Both she and Yan Shao knew that Zizai had been working hard in secret all this time, but they just couldn't see it.
And now, it's clear that Vic Zhou's efforts have finally paid off.
"Yeah, I was a little scared at first, but I completely relaxed later and fell asleep like a log halfway through my shower."
Yan Shao's tone was much more relaxed. There were some things he had kept to himself, not daring to say aloud. He knew that if he spoke them, it would not only affect everyone's mood but also make them very discouraged.
Of course, he knew that Zhu Qianying was mentally strong, but he always hoped that he could be a source of support for Zhu Qianying and Zizai.
So, when it comes to Vic Chou's problem, everyone else can be discouraged and pessimistic, but he alone cannot!
"Phew..." Zhu Qianying breathed a long sigh of relief at the long-awaited answer.
Watching Yan Shao put Zizai on the bed, she crawled over and covered the little guy with the blanket.
"We'll feel a little more at ease once he's willing to sleep on his own."
Standing by the bed, Yan Shao stared at her half-bent back and felt an urge to pull her tightly into his arms.
As he thought this, his actions were perfectly synchronized with his body. He nimbly climbed onto the bed and grabbed her from behind.
Zhu Qianying, who had just covered Zizai with the blanket, stiffened. She wrapped her arms around his strong back, nuzzled his cheek against her own for a moment, and then spoke.
"Go to sleep, everyone's tired today!"
Young Master Yan held her tightly, unwilling to let go, "I'm not tired!"
His voice was very low, but his tone was extremely certain, and his breath warmed Zhu Qianying's ears and the back of her neck as he spoke.
Zhu Qianying trembled slightly, and her body involuntarily pressed against him.
Now, when Zhu Qianying's will is weak, she often, like Zizai, habitually chooses to get closer to the man behind her.
Or perhaps she wanted to find warmth in him, or perhaps she simply wanted to lean on him, nothing more.
At this moment, Zhu Qianying didn't seem to want to warm herself from him or lean on him. Instead, she was simply following her instincts and moving closer to him little by little.
Feeling the man behind her suddenly breathing erratically, and his body temperature rising rapidly at an abnormal rate, Zhu Qianying, a wife and mother, couldn't possibly be unaware of what this meant.
"Honey, I'm tired..."
Before Yan Shao could make any further moves, Zhu Qianying quickly begged for mercy.
Although men are energetic and have great needs, under normal circumstances, he still takes care of Zhu Qianying's physical and psychological needs and tries his best to cooperate with her needs and pace.
But clearly, this is not a normal situation.
Today is not only Zhu Qianying's birthday, but he also successfully proposed to her, and Zizai's situation has also taken a huge turn for the better.
"Sweetie, today is your birthday..."
Young Master Yan stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently swept it across her earlobe and the back of her neck.
The warm, damp touch sent a strong electric current through her, and Zhu Qianying couldn't help but tremble again.
"It's my birthday... not yours..."
Her words were weak and feeble, like soft down gently brushing against Yan Shao's heart.
What was clearly a rejection sounded like a flirtation to Yan Shao. Zhu Qianying, however, remained oblivious to it all.
"Yes, that's right. Today is your birthday. I gave myself to you, so shouldn't you reciprocate by giving yourself to me too?"
This time, before Zhu Qianying could answer, Yan Shao sealed her lips with his.
If she offers it to him, he'll take it. If she's being insincere or simply doesn't answer, he'll take it himself.
The temperature in the bedroom rose steadily as the two entwined in passionate embrace, making this night another one of springtime bliss...
...
Zhu Qianying thought she was going to be teased by her precious son again today, but when she opened her eyes, she found that not only was she sleeping on the big bed, but also Yan Shao and his son Zizai.
"woke up?"
As for Yan Shao, who was lying in bed and lingering in bed, after trying it once a few days ago, he missed the feeling of the three of them waking up together.
So, he stopped going for his morning exercise. He had originally arranged to meet Ke Kai to discuss some things, but later sent him a message instructing him to come over around noon.
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying rubbed her eyes, turned her head to look at her son who was still sleeping soundly, "It's been so long since my baby has slept until this late..."
Zhu Qianying was filled with emotion, and Yan Shao also sat up and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
"Since Zizai hasn't gotten up yet, let's lie down for a while longer."
Zhu Qianying thought it was a good idea. She threw herself backward, and the bed hit her sore waist, causing her to gasp.
Yan Shao quickly leaned over and massaged her lower back while teasing her, "Baby, your energy isn't what it used to be!"
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him. This man was the typical type who got the benefits but acted innocent!
