Zhan Jingting stroked her hair. "I'm fine. You've been working too hard these days, you need to rest. Leave these things to the old man, don't you trust him?"
"What are you saying? With my master's help, I would naturally be more than happy to do so."
"Since he trusts you and the old man cares about you and wants you to rest well, you must listen to him."
Qiao Wanwan sighed helplessly, "Fine, how can I possibly win against the two of you working together? I'll leave it to Master and spend some quality time with you and the child."
"That's a good boy."
That evening, when Zhan Jingting came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he saw Qiao Wanwan lying in bed with the three children.
Zhan Jingting: "......"
"What happened?"
"Jingting, how about letting the child sleep with us?"
Zhan Jingting guessed what was going on and stepped forward to reassure her, "Wanwan, don't be too nervous. This is our own home, the safest place. The children are sleeping in their own rooms, nothing will happen."
“I’m worried,” Qiao Wanwan said. “These days, I’ve been having nightmares every night. I really can’t lose any of them.”
Zhan Jingting hugged her tenderly, "Wanwan, relax, it's really okay. Besides, the five of us can't sleep together anyway."
“I’ve made all the arrangements. The third child will sleep in a crib, and the four of us will sleep together. I’ve already had someone bring in a modular bed to make it wider.”
Zhan Jingting: "......"
He pondered for a moment and said, "Wanwan, it's fine for the third son to sleep with us, but Eleven and Nine are already in elementary school. It's not appropriate for boys that big to sleep with their mother. Have you forgotten that you stopped bathing them a long time ago, let alone sleeping with them?"
“I forgot about that…” Qiao Wanwan hesitated clearly, “But I’m really worried.”
“Wanwan, no matter how powerful our opponents are, they couldn’t possibly bribe so many bodyguards, evade so many surveillance cameras, and steal the child from Wutong Bay.”
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "You're right. I was indeed too nervous. This is Wutong Bay. If it's not safe here, then there's probably no safe place in the world."
“So relax and let the child go back to his room to sleep,” Zhan Jingting said. “I have a gunshot wound and need to rest as well.”
Qiao Wanwan finally relented, "Alright then, I'll take them back to their rooms first."
"good."
Not long after Qiao Wanwan left, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The one who opened the door was the legendary healer.
"Jingting, where's Wanwan?"
"I've taken the child back to their room to sleep."
“It’s good that she’s not here, saves me the trouble of getting rid of her.” The Ghost Hand Doctor took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket. “This is a painkiller I developed this afternoon. Try it and see if it works. It might not be very effective in the rush. I will continue to study it and change the medicine for you.”
Zhan Jingting accepted it, "Thank you, sir."
“There’s no need for such formalities between us.” The Ghost Hand Doctor sighed. “Jing Ting, if anything happens to you, Wanwan won’t survive. You could tell from her condition after you and the two children disappeared. If you hadn’t disappeared without a trace, she would have given up long ago.”
“Last time it happened suddenly, but this time I still have time to figure out a way to help her get through it.” Zhan Jingting looked at him. “At that time, I’ll ask you to put in a lot of effort, sir. You raised her from a young age, so she will listen to your advice to some extent.”
“Wanwan is a very stubborn child, and she loves you so much. She’s not so easy to persuade.” The Ghost Hand Doctor shook his head. “Forget it, let’s not talk about these discouraging things. We still have time. Let’s make the most of every second and work hard.”
"Okay, thank you, sir."
The quack doctor didn't stay long and left quickly.
A short while later, Qiao Wanwan returned.
She took a shower and lay down next to Zhan Jingting.
This was the first time they had been able to hold each other securely after being apart for so long.
Qiao Wanwan hugged him tightly, "Jingting, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Zhan Jingting kissed her cheek. "Silly girl, I'm really back. You're not dreaming."
Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and tenderly stroked his hair, "I must find a way to grow your hair back."
Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "This is good too. We'll grow old together sooner rather than later."
"Then I'll go dye my hair white tomorrow, so that we can grow old together."
“Great, I’d love to see what Wanwan looks like with a full head of white hair.”
"Then I'll just put on old-age makeup and show you what I'll look like when I'm old."
"No need to look."
Qiao Wanwan pouted, "What, do you think I'll be ugly when I get old, and you won't love me anymore after you see me?"
Zhan Jingting gazed deeply at her, her stunning face reflected in his abyss-like pupils. "Wanwan, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful. Even when we grow old, I will still love you... no, I will only love you more and more."
Qiao Wanwan suppressed a laugh, "You're all so glib, I don't believe you."
Zhan Jingting kissed the corner of her lips, his voice low and husky, "Then I'll prove it to you, hmm?"
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly pushed him away, "Mr. Zhan, have you forgotten that you're injured right now, huh?"
"It's alright."
“How can it be nothing?” Qiao Wanwan remained rational. “You need to rest, preferably in bed and avoid moving around too much. Don’t even think about it.”
Zhan Jingting had no choice but to stop, "I'll listen to my wife."
"That's a good boy." Qiao Wanwan kissed the corner of his lips hard. "Go to sleep now."
