She stared at him for a while as she continued stroking his soft hair. Even if she wasn't able to understand some of what he was trying to say to her, one thing is for sure, he was sincerely apologizing to her. Because of this, her heart continued to soften up for him.
It wasn't long before she fell asleep beside him, accompanying him in having an afternoon nap.
By the time she woke up, she saw Lu Yifeng, reading a book for Little Melon who was sitting on his lap. Lu Yifeng's deep voice was like a cello, it was pleasing to her ears.
When she sat up, Lu Yifeng turned to her with a gentle look on his face. "Dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay. Can we have some apple pork ribs for tonight?"
"Mm." Lu Yifeng smiled, he already knows that she was going to ask for it, that's why he already ordered a maid to prepare one for dinner.
"Good evening momma." Little Melon went to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Here's my adorable prince~" Xia Meilin hugged him in her arms and nuzzled the tip of his nose which made the little boy giggle.
"Mommmaaa!" Little Melon's cute giggles filled the room.
Lu Yifeng watched the two quietly from the side. It warmed his heart when he saw how his family was in front of him. His family was full of smiles. Their smiles could brighten up anything around him and he will do his best to protect those smiles.

Later that night, Li Bingbing sent the details that she found about the man who tried to kill Lu Yifeng.
Xia Meilin took her phone and looked at it. She started reading through it.
Lu Yifeng's hold around her waist tightened which made her look at him. "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry if I did."
She placed the phone away before she faced him. "Go back to sleep, darling."
"Who messaged you?"
"Li Bingbing. She just gave me a report about the man who tried to kill you." She answered honestly. "She found him."
"She works fast." He chuckled. To be able to find the masked man was incredible. "So, what did she have about him?"
"That man's name is Ming De... After he left us, he entered a minivan but later on, his body was thrown out of the van. Li Bingbing saw this from the surveillance camera that was around the area. She was able to identify him after seeing the face of his dead body. I already told her to let the the police know about this."
Lu Yifeng's face went blank, "They killed him because he failed to kill me."
Xia Meilin nodded. "Whoever that person is, they're being careful and they're taking precautions. What should we do about this, Yifeng?"
"Just let me handle it, okay?" He buried his face in the crook of her neck. "It's getting late, we should sleep."
Xia Meilin sighed and closed her eyes. Since Lu Yifeng wasn't in a great condition that night, she didn't continue on what she planned for him. Besides, she was a beginner, there's no way she'll do such shameful acts! She doesn't even know how to tell him that she wanted to tie him up!
While thinking of Li Bingbing's suggestion, she instantly fell asleep. Being pregnant made her sleepy that's why she doesn't have hard time falling asleep.

"You should tell your family about your condition, Sisi. They will find out about it sooner or later and that will be more painful for them." Li Bingbing said as she watch Xia Sinian prepare her food. "We're going to leave soon so you should at least tell them before we go."
Xia Sinian was quiet for a while. It's been days already and Li Bingbing wouldn't stop trying to convince him about telling his family about his condition.
"Do you want to give your grandparents a heart attack once they discover your grave? It will be too late for you and your family. I know it will be hard but you have to tell them."
He took the plate of omurice he made before he placed it in front of her.
"Alright, I will tell them." Xia Sinian sighed as he finally gave up.
"When do you plan on telling them?" Li Bingbing asked.
"By the end of this month." He went and hugged her from behind. "A week before we leave."
