Qin Mo looked at Dan Hanjie, wanting to ask about his preferences, but didnât know what to call him.
Dan Hanjie, accustomed to being indifferent, just glanced at him lightly, âAs long as Youxuan likes it.â
Upon hearing this, Qin Youxuan, who had been worrying that he wouldnât agree to stay for dinner, immediately broke out into a smile.
She grabbed Qin Moâs hand and hurriedly walked inside.
Once they reached the living room, the father and daughter naturally started a conversation.
Jin Chenye sat beside them, occasionally joining in.
The family was having a great time chatting.
Dan Hanjie sat silently by their side, just watching her, holding her little hand tightly.
Seeing her laugh so happily, he did not interrupt.
âIâm so fullâ¦â
It wasnât until after dinner that Qin Youxuan, holding her little stomach, returned to her room and immediately flopped onto the bed.
She was then picked up by Dan Hanjie, âYou canât sleep right after eating.â
âWe donât have so many rules at home, Iâm tired.â Qin Youxuanâs face fell, and she sneakily burrowed back under her covers.
The next second, she was picked up by Dan Hanjie again and brought directly to her desk, âHow about introducing me to your room as a post-meal activity?â
âMy stomach hurts, Iâm not in the mood, and besides, itâs not your first time hereâ¦â He used to climb in through the window a lot.
Before Qin Youxuan could finish her sentence, Dan Hanjie had already embraced her from behind, one of his large hands resting on her little belly.
The warmth of his palm, pressing against the dull ache in her stomach.@@novelbin@@
âIs it still very painful?â asked Dan Hanjie, his brows knitted together in concern.
âNot, actually not that painfulâ¦â
His warm breath brushed against her neck and Qin Youxuanâs face blushed a little.
Following his suggestion, she opened the drawer and began introducing her room to him.
It wasnât until she pulled out the photo album of her and Jiang Yu from the bottom drawer that Dan Hanjieâs expression turned serious.
âIs this your mother?â asked Dan Hanjie.
âYeah, these are the photos of me and my mom from when I was little, I kept most of them.â Qin Youxuan carefully wiped the dust off the cover, then turned to the first page.
The photo showed a young woman holding a baby in her arms.
Only a few months old, the babyâs delicate face was exceptionally beautiful.
âWasnât I pretty when I was little? Youâre lucky to have married such a beautiful wife.â After making a joke, Qin Youxuan, feeling embarrassed, quickly burrowed into his arms.
Her face turned beet red.
Dan Hanjieâs gaze flickered, he looked down at her, his large hand fondly ruffling her hair, âMhm, Iâm indeed lucky.â
His long fingers turned the page.
There were two photos on the second page, both of Youxuan from when she was a child.
From the size of her, she must have just learned to sit and crawl.
As if experiencing her growth process, Dan Hanjie perused the photos attentively, flipping slowly from one to another.
The further photos contained shots of Qin Youxuan alone and with Jiang Yu. Most of the pictures were heartwarming.
It was clear that a lot of care had been taken to create this album.
âThis is the last photo of me and my mom. That year, she left me and went away. This album is the last memory she left meâ¦â Qin Youxuanâs voice choked up, her small hand caressed the last photo in the album that was taped to the page, her eyes dimming.
âYour mother loved you very much.â Dan Hanjieâs gaze flickered, he gently uttered a sentence.
Other things can deceive, but eyes canât.
The look in Jiang Yuâs eyes in each photo in this album was filled with intense motherly love.
