Xu Boyi pulled Jingyan into his arms and gently patted her head like he was coaxing a child.

Xu Boren patted Jingyan and then coaxed her softly, "Alright, it's all my fault. Now that you're awake, let's go out and have some breakfast. It's not good to always be hungry."

Sure enough, as soon as she saw the man soften and coax her, his deep voice was gentle and pleasant, and Jingyan, who was originally angry, immediately stopped being angry.

She asked coquettishly, "Isn't it too late to have breakfast now? The sun is already high in the sky."

To see such a bright sun in the dead of winter, today is sure to be a beautiful day.

The thought of the beautiful weather and her return to her long-missed hometown made Jingyan even happier.

Before Xu Boren could answer the previous question, Jingyan once again ordered the man with a self-righteous tone: "Help me tie my hair up first, it looks messy and not good at all."

"Huh? Tying hair?" He'd never tied hair before, how was he supposed to do it? And for a grown man like him to tie a woman's hair, wasn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?

However, Xu Boren was obedient and naturally picked up the rubber band on the bedside table. Then, not knowing what to do, he could only ask, "I don't know how, can you teach me?"

He had no experience in this field, so if he wanted to help, he would have to learn it from scratch.

"You don't even know how to do this? Don't you have a daughter? You've never done it for her before, have you?" Jingyan knew he hadn't done it before, after all, they weren't her biological daughter, they hadn't even spent time together, so how could he help with it?

Because of the tiny bit of resentment he harbored towards Xu Siqing and her brother.

Jingyan brought it up in front of Xu Boren on purpose, mentioning the two children whenever she had a chance, just to make him feel uncomfortable.

Only by making him remember the existence of these two siblings can Jingyan have a legitimate reason to dislike them in the future.

After all, Jingyan seems to like Xu Boren so much, so it's quite normal for her to dislike the child in front of Xu Boren, right?

Jingyan doesn't know that the two children aren't his biological offspring! It's understandable that she's jealous, even though it's a bit early for her to show it.

Jingyan had long known that Xu Boren ignored and disregarded his two older children, saying that he was letting them develop freely, but in reality, he didn't take them seriously.

After all, Xu Boren really likes children, and his ability to turn a blind eye to them is already the greatest leniency he can show to those two children.

Xu Siqing acts under the guise of being a child of the Xu family, since their biological father is a gigolo and has no right or means to let them flaunt their wealth.

Jingyan's thoughts drifted back to her past life, and she remembered her two lovely children.

That was the result of Jingyan and Xu Boren's joint efforts. They were once so happy, except for Jingyan's occasional tantrums.

Xu Boren, the man who once accompanied her through various complicated perspectives, played an important role in the child's growth.

He personally took care of the children when they were young, and then hired famous teachers to teach and nurture them when they got older. He poured his heart and soul into every detail.

However, due to his busy work schedule, Xu Boren often neglected some of the children's needs.

He couldn't be with them all the time and missed many important moments in their growth.

But it was precisely because of this that Jingyan felt the two children were so kind.

In an environment lacking paternal love, they learned to understand and be tolerant, and to be considerate of others.

This kindness did not come from Xu Boren's teachings, but from the children's own understanding of life.

After all, Xu Boren himself is not a kind person.

His success in his career may have made him somewhat cold and selfish; he is more concerned with his own interests and status.

However, his love for the children was genuine, even if it sometimes seemed a bit rough.

Upon hearing Jingyan's question, Xu Boren remained silent for a moment, then silently picked up her thick, shiny, and exceptionally smooth hair.

Jingyan's hair was incredibly smooth and had a faint floral scent, likely from when she washed it last night.

Xu Boren knew nothing about these smells; he only knew they were very fragrant and pleasant.

This almost caused Xu Boren's physical desires, which he had suppressed the night before, to resurface.

Thinking of Jingyan's coquettish expression when she cried out in pain last night, Xu Boren quickly took a deep breath.

He can't keep indulging like this, otherwise he'll be the one tormented to the point of ecstasy every night.

To distract himself, Xu Boren turned his gaze to Jingyan's beautiful, jet-black hair.

Xu Boren was smart from a young age and learned everything quickly, but he was still a bit flustered in areas where he was not good at.

He carefully fiddled with Jingyan's hair for a while before finally tying it into a loose, low ponytail.

Xu Boren looked it over from left to right and, finding no problems, nodded in satisfaction.

He pulled the woman towards him and said with satisfaction, "Alright, I think my first attempt was pretty good. See if you like it."

He then carried Jingyan to the mirror and asked her for her opinion. Jingyan looked at a strand of hair that had fallen down her cheek and was too embarrassed to say that it was not bad.

However, considering that this was just a styling session at home and there was no need to take it too seriously, she nodded, indicating her approval of his work.

"Alright, now that your hair is combed, hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and go eat. If you dawdle any longer, you'll have to go eat lunch."

Xu Boren nodded in satisfaction after receiving approval. He had originally intended to take Jingyan to the restroom outside as well.

Then, as if remembering something, he felt that his behavior today was somewhat inappropriate, so he put Jingyan on the ground and told her to go wash up.

No sooner had he let go than Jingyan suddenly collapsed, her legs giving way. Fortunately, Xu Boren reacted quickly and pulled her up.

"Be careful, don't accidentally bite into anything. Your skin is so delicate, you don't want to end up with bruises all over your body from a light bite." Xu Boren's words were somewhat curt.

So Jingyan looked up at him in surprise. Weren't the two of them fine just now? Why did Xu Boren suddenly turn his back on her?

Are they regretting what happened between them last night?

Why... it shouldn't be like this. Even though she took the initiative, the man was still very attentive, right?

Xu Boren naturally noticed Jingyan's surprise, and he stiffly looked away.

Xu Boren's change was due to the fact that he had just tried to carry Jingyan to brush her teeth and wash her face.

This terrified Xu Boren; it was truly terrifying!

He and Jingyan had only known each other for a short time, yet he was already being led around by her. He couldn't bear to see her suffer. It had only been one night, how could he have become so captivated by her?

The more Xu Boren thought about it, the more something seemed off, so he decided to revert to the way he had been before he entered the room and tied Jingyan's hair.

Even though he saw Jingyan about to fall, Xu Boren still felt sorry for her and could only grit his teeth and remind her to be careful.
