Sheng Yize said awkwardly, “You’re the dumb one…”
“Give in already!” An Xiaxia made faces at him. “Is it that hard to admit that you like me?”
“Go to bed! Do you know what time it is? I’m going to spank you if you don’t sleep now!” With a scowl, Sheng Yize took her by the back of her collar and dragged her toward their bedroom. An Xiaxia flailed all four limbs, shouting, “I love you and everyone knows it~ Lalala~ Why, that’s such an icky line. I can use it in my novel!”
Thump —
Sheng Yize tossed her onto the bed and snapped, “Use it and I’ll break your leg!”
“… You’re so savage.” An Xiaxia shuddered. She rolled around in bed, then stuck her head out. “Let’s buy little Hope some milk powder tomorrow!”
“Hm? Sure.” He had no objections.
He had sent little Hope to the old Sheng family home and the old couple doted on her. Both had said that although she wasn’t Sheng Yize’s own child, they would raise her like a real great-granddaughter!
Sheng Yize’s heart raced when he looked at An Xiaxia’s peaceful sleeping face.
When was the last time his heart had skipped a beat?
She had gotten a mere glimpse of a silly thing he had done in his youth and he was so happy that… it made him jittery.
She was smiling so happily. Had she liked it that much?
Women were… women. Hmph~

They went shopping the following day.
A shop assistant greeted them as soon as they entered a store selling maternity and children’s supplies. “May I help you?”
“I’d like to buy some milk powder!” An Xiaxia provided the shop assistant with a brand and the latter led them to the counter before moving on to other customers. An Xiaxia nudged at Sheng Yize in confusion. “How many tins shall we get?”
Sheng Yize rubbed his chin. “Aren’t babies fed many times a day? I think one tin can last her for two days, so 15 tins for a month…”
“You have a point!”
Hence, the rich young couple bought 300 tins…
After that was taken care of, An Xiaxia couldn’t tear herself away from the baby products. She bought loads of things for little Hope and Sheng Yize patiently helped her with choosing what to buy.
They arranged for the things to be delivered to the old Sheng family home, then went to have lunch. Sheng Yize even took An Xiaxia to watch a cliche romantic movie afterwards.
An Xiaxia shed a lot of tears at the end. “The hero of the movie was so handsome! That was such a sad ending, though. Sob …”
“More handsome than me?” Sheng Yize snickered.
The hero was actually Chi Yuanfeng and some fan snapped when she heard those words, “You must be jealous of Lord Fengfeng! Hmph! You mortal people know nothing of his beauty!”
The lights came back on just then and the girl opened her eyes wide when she saw Sheng Yize’s face.
“Oh god…” the girl murmured. “You – you were once Starry Night’s captain, weren’t you?”
An Xiaxia snickered. “Someone still remembers you after so many years!”
The girl was very excited. “We met once! I’m the host at Yu City Music Radio. You came to my show once for Lord Fengfeng’s song…”
Sheng Yize greeted her politely with a nod, then left with An Xiaxia.
They went back to the old Sheng family home afterwards. Grandma Sheng broke into excited tears when she saw An Xiaxia again after so many years.
“Little Xiaxia… I thought I’d never see you again…” Grandma Sheng wiped her tears, which brought tears to An Xiaxia’s eyes as well.
Just then, the milk powder delivery arrived. Grandma Sheng was astonished when she saw the pile of tins that looked like a small hill. “Are you going to feed Hope with this until she’s 18?”
