Cixi was still asleep by the time Sara woke up. 

It seemed she had not been able to sleep well for days so she slept really deep now.

"Where is Daddy?" Joreen asked Sara who was coming out from the room.

Sara smiled before looking at the direction of the other room.

It was already past seven in the morning yet he was still sleeping?

It only happened when he was sick. Because Jianjun was an early riser. By now, he would have been in the kitchen already but everywhere was empty. 

"Daddy is fine. Probably having a long conversation with pretty Changyu" Sara answered with a bright smile on her face before asking..

"Are you hungry baby Jo?"

Joreen nodded. She was a big eater and also liked to eat very early. By now, she would have been in the kitchen picking some little chops but unfortunately, Jianjun was still talking with pretty Changyu.

"But daddy doesn"t talk for long when he has not prepared breakfast. Are you sure he isn"t sick? And I don"t think he slept on the couch either. It didn"t look like someone slept on it and I think it is wet also"

Sara was frustrated with her questions. Why did kids like to ask too many questions?

"Dad is fine. Something bad happened to his favourite couch yesterday. So he had to sleep in Pretty Changyu"s room. They probably talked throughout the night so he is probably sleeping."

Joreen nodded.

She had wanted to ask why he slept in her room instead of theirs and why they talked throughout the night when they could have just talked during the day, but she was hungry and decided to let the questions slide. She would just ask him directly when he wakes up.

"Poor restaurant. We just opened it yet it"s been closed for days. Must have lost a lot enthusiastic customer" Joreen said sadly..

"It"s fine. There are other ways of getting more customers."

"I"ll make you something to eat Jo. What would you like to have?" 

Joreen looked at her in horror before shaking her head. 

"I am not hungry."

Before Sara could say anything else, Joreen already rushed inside the room. 

Jianjun was the first to open his eyes. 

And he smiled when he saw Changyu"s sleeping face.

He did not move at all. Instead, he just kept staring at her. 

Everything felt like a dream. It was so difficult to believe that all of this was actually real.

She was really in his arms. 

What did he ever do to deserve this kind of blessing? 

Changyu was not only very pretty and cla.s.sy, she was also the number one in the business world. 

There were obviously a lot of men who wanted her for themselves. But she had chosen a n.o.body like him instead.

The only thing he could do was to repay her.

He was going to make sure she never regretted it and he was going to take care of her. 

Just like she had mentioned, he was going to start living the kind of life that would make them all proud. 

After some *wink wink* last night, they had both talked for a long time and finally slept around 3 in the morning. 

But before they slept, she had suddenly frowned and told him not to talk to her while calling him a bad person. 

He looked at her in confusion since he had no idea what he did this time. And after pressuring her to tell him what he did wrong, she mentioned that she had stayed alone and celibate for years but he had married Helene and cheated on her.

He could not help but laugh at that before informing her that he never got married to Helene. Neither was he ever intimate with her.

Because his mother liked Helene a lot, she had asked him to marry her. It had been her dying wish.

But he had cried and refused it, telling her he was never going to get married to any other woman. He had also begged for her forgiveness, and continued to feel guilty even after his mother died. 

On the day Helene registered as Sara"s mother and took her for all her medical treatments, he still continued to feel bad even to the day of her death. 

Helene had been so dedicated in caring for Sara that she neglected her own health.

She had been sick but none of them knew about it. And it wasn"t long before she died. 

It was at that time that Cixi began to slowly open up to Sara and finally liked the one year old little girl she had hated all along.

Changyu would have smiled in relief, but she was sad instead. She prayed for Helene"s soul and thanked her for everything. She felt disappointed in herself for disliking Helene unnecessarily.

As he continued to watch her sleep, he began to use his hand to trail her sleeping face. But he suddenly paused and looked at the window behind her, then his eyes widened.

Morning. It was morning!

He quickly got up from the bed but was careful not to wake her up.

He quickly threw on a s.h.i.+rt and pant to cover his underwear and looked at his phone. He was surprised to see it was already past eight in the morning. 

He could not remember the last time he slept for that long. 

Immediately he opened the door, a folded paper fell on the floor in front of him. 

He quickly picked it up and opened it to read the contents. 

"I had to hurry out. I hope you both had a very looong conversation last night? Hehehe"

He knew the handwriting.

Even if it had been a printed text, he would have also known it was his naughty daughter who left the note.

"When did she get spoiled?" He asked himself in confusion and turned back when he heard a sound come from behind him. 

"You"re up early" Changyu said groggily with her eyes half closed.

"Good morning." He greeted with a smile before adding. 

"You can continue sleeping. I"ll make breakfast for you" 

A smile appeared on her face and she remained quiet. 

It took him a while before realising that she had fallen asleep.

Poor woman must have been really tired from all the conversation last night.
