So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

The news of Shang Xuzhi's leg injury being cured spread quickly.

He intended to keep a low profile, but the astonishing news spread rapidly from the moment he appeared at the company.

He used to have physical limitations and would occasionally work from home.

Especially after Chu Yu came to live with us, he appeared at the company very rarely.

However, the person who reacted the most to Shang Xuzhi's leg ailment being cured was naturally the old man from the Shang family.

She only had two sons. Her eldest son and his wife died together, leaving only their youngest son. Her second son was seriously injured and barely survived, but he became despondent afterward.

The fact that Shang Xuzhi was receiving treatment was kept secret, mainly to ensure that he could focus on his training without being affected by external factors.

Now that he has fully recovered, the first thing he naturally wants to do is go back to the old house to see his father and his little nephew.

Chu Yu woke up very early that morning. There was still a long time before she was supposed to get up, but she couldn't fall back asleep.

Shang Xuzhi was awakened by the little girl whose kitten was fidgeting in his arms.

She tightened her grip and instinctively coaxed in a hoarse voice, "Sweetie, sleep a little longer."

He gently patted her back with his palm.

Before, when she wouldn't sleep well, the man would hold her and coax her to sleep like this.

Chu Yu knew it was still early; the man had been busy in the study until midnight the night before he came back to rest.

She nestled obediently in the man's arms, no longer moving, only staring intently at the handsome sleeping face in front of her with her round eyes.

Perhaps it was because of her different state of mind, but when she looked at Shang Xuzhi's face, she felt more and more like Chu Xuan.

Suddenly, a man's soft sigh reached her ears, "Why can't you sleep, sweetie?"

Shang Xuzhi was not fully awake yet. A few strands of hair fell casually over his forehead, his long eyelashes half-covered his eyes, and his voice was filled with sleepiness.

It seems like this is the first time I've seen him like this; he exudes youthful energy.

He was so disciplined that he rarely allowed himself to sleep in.

Chu Yu, on the other hand, almost never gets up early. It's not her fault; it's just that the cat wants to sleep more!

She woke up unusually early that day, probably because Shang Xuzhi was taking her back to the old house to meet his parents.

How could she not be nervous!

Although the man repeatedly assured her that he had prepared a foolproof identity for her, she felt guilty...

Last night before she went to sleep, the man came back to the bedroom with a stack of documents and carefully explained his new identity to her, as well as the details she needed to pay attention to.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the discussion lasted a long time, and finally a choice was made with an orphan girl.

The girl was abandoned as a child and taken in and raised by a kind old woman. When she was seventeen, her old woman, with whom she depended on each other, passed away, and she has lived alone ever since.

She studied diligently and assiduously, and eventually gained admission to a top university in a big city from her mountain village.

During winter and summer vacations, she either works part-time or goes to various places to teach.

Just this past summer, the girl died unexpectedly while teaching in a rural area.

Shang Xuzhi found her school records; her name was Yun Chu, and she had successfully completed her credits and graduated.

Such an identity is indeed perfect; even if others become suspicious, there is nothing that can be investigated.

Shang Xuzhi sent someone to the school to complete Yun Chu's paperwork, packed up all her belongings and brought them back with her. He also secretly buried her body, which he had found, with the grandmother who had raised her, in a cemetery where they would never be disturbed.

From then on, Yun Chu had a place to belong, and his Chu Chu also had a new identity in this world.

Chu Yu was somewhat moved after hearing the girl's background.

She felt a pity for Yun Chu's fate, yet also a sense of powerlessness. It seemed that no one was at fault, except for the parents who abandoned their child; no one had done anything wrong.

But fate ultimately showed no mercy.

Shang Xuzhi knew his young lady was soft-hearted, so he gently comforted her, "What's done is done, and there's nothing we can do to change it. Yun Chu and the old woman have already been given a proper burial. We'll borrow her identity and live well in her place, okay?"

He worried that the girl would feel guilty, so he made amends accordingly.

He made donations in Yun Chu's name not only to the schools she had attended, but also to the schools where she had taught, including money, supplies, and even the construction of mountain roads.

After calming Chu Yu down, Shang Xuzhi returned to his study to continue the meeting.

Chu Yu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It wasn't until the middle of the night that the man tiptoed back to bed, hugged her, and coaxed her for a while. Only then did the sleepy girl, who could barely keep her eyes open, finally fall asleep peacefully.

Who knew I'd only slept for a few hours before waking up again.

Shang Xuzhi paused for a few seconds before coming to his senses and asked the fussy kitten in his arms in a low voice, "Why did our baby wake up so early today?"

The little girl's dark eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of sleepiness, suggesting she had been awake for a long time.

Is it because of nervousness?

He suddenly realized this possibility, and this was the only possible reason.

He knows his own child best. His child is raised without worries or fears and rarely has such anxieties that keep him up at night.

"Don't worry, sweetie. My father is a very kind person, and Shangxun is a very well-behaved child. They will both like you."

The important thing is that she is the person he loves most, and his family will naturally be her family as well.

Chu Yu had never had any experience spending time with her family before, so it was understandable that she was nervous.

It's just that you can't say this to a man.

She leaned over and kissed the man's stubble-covered chin. Shang Xuzhi frowned and dodged, whispering, "Be careful not to prick yourself."

The little girl laughed carefree in his arms.

Seeing this, Shang Xuzhi's heart stirred. He rolled over and pinned the other person beneath him. "We still have time. Since you can't sleep, let's do something we love—"

Chu Yu: "...?"

The man lowered his head and gently kissed her face, while both of her hands were restrained, rendering her unable to move.

"No, I'm still in a bit of pain—"

Only two days have passed since the last time they went crazy, and these past two days Shang Xuzhi has been behaving himself and behaved very well.

Who would have thought they'd be exposed for what they really were before the third day was over!

The man's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It's alright, the baby won't feel any pain."

"..."

Chu Yu had prepared herself mentally, but then she saw the man who had been supporting her slowly retreat into the blankets...

The blanket was still covering her, while the man had crawled into the middle of the blanket.

The moment her nightgown was lifted up, she finally understood what the man meant by those words.

There was a skilled ventriloquist in the capital.

Really...

……

Shang Xuzhi kept his promise and indeed did not spoil his little one.

There's another reason why Xiao Bao is crying.

Chu Yu was sobbing as the man pulled her into his arms and fed her a few sips of warm water. Shang Xuzhi was really worried that she would become dehydrated, so he held her and fed her several times.

Finally, the man gave up when the bed became unusable, and reluctantly carried the little girl to the bathroom for a bath.

Chu Yu's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up and had to lean on the man the whole time.

The sound of water in the bathroom mingled with the crying and continued for a long time.

After finally getting what he wanted, Shang Xuzhi dutifully bathed and washed his little princess's hair, then skillfully applied skincare products and dried her hair.

Even so, the little girl still looked sullen.

How could she not be angry!

Today was the day she was going to the old house to meet her parents, and that bastard rubbed her palms until they were red and raw early in the morning!

This has caused her to experience pain when picking up anything.
