My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 565 - 026: Seems to have gotten much better_3

Nan Jiayan froze in place, and after a long while, he burst into laughter. She had just said, "We’ll talk about it then!" instead of "There’s nothing to say between us." Considering this, it was much better than before.

Although her exterior was still so cold, he could at least sense there was a certain chance in her words, which made him quite happy, even though he was a bit troubled now.

It’s about his father and Little Yu’er.

Since Nan Jiayan has been living alone all these years, his style in handling trivial matters was typical of a bachelor. Now, with the addition of a little girl, he was somewhat unaccustomed, especially when it came to Little Yu’er’s sleeping arrangements, which made him hesitant.

This apartment of his has three bedrooms and two living rooms, one master bedroom, and another room used specifically for storing paintings, with the third serving as his study, leaving no room for her to have a separate bedroom.

But if he were to share a room with Little Yu’er, it wouldn’t be impossible. After all, Little Yu’er was still young, and she was his biological sister. It wasn’t a big deal. However, Little Yu’er was getting older, and she was a girl, so she needed to develop a sense of independence from a young age.

Therefore, after much consideration, he decided to visit Home Furnishing City tomorrow and buy a children’s bed for her, placing it directly next to his large bed. His bedroom was spacious, with simple furnishings, so there was plenty of room for a child’s bed.

Adding to this were Nan Xueyou’s current state and Wu Qianxin deliberately leaving the child with him, leading him to have some speculations, though he still needed to verify them.

Around ten o’clock, Nan Jiayan found an electronic version of a storybook online and read it to Little Yu’er. But after finishing two stories, Little Yu’er showed no sign of sleepiness, and she continued to gaze at him with wide eyes.

"Little Yu’er, aren’t you tired? It’s already late, and you need to get up early tomorrow morning, you know?" Nan Jiayan simply put down his phone and asked softly.

"I am tired!"

"Then why don’t you close your eyes and sleep?"

Little Yu’er pouted, her face drooping in an unhappy expression: "Brother, do you think... Mom will come to pick me up? Or do she and Dad not want me anymore?"

Nan Jiayan felt a pang of sadness hearing such words from someone so young, knowing that Little Yu’er was sensitive in nature. He struggled for a long while without finding the right words to explain the situation.

Nan Xueyou’s illness was a fact, an unchangeable reality, and Wu Qianxin was nowhere to be found, leaving Little Yu’er undoubtedly the most pitiful and innocent.

"Why would Little Yu’er think that way? I’m still here, aren’t I?"

"Then... Brother won’t leave Little Yu’er, right?"

"Of course not."

"Brother also won’t dislike Little Yu’er, right?"

"Definitely not."

"Really?"

"Yes, although brother hasn’t spent much time with you, he would never deceive you."

"Then... can we make a pinky promise?"

"Yes, okay." Nan Jiayan looked at her little extended finger, smiled, raised an eyebrow, and gently hooked her finger with his own: "Pinky promise, hundred years without change, if changed... you’re a puppy?"

"Okay."

"So, is it time for us to sleep now? It’s already late, and tomorrow you promised the pretty lady you’d go to bed early so you can have fun with her tomorrow!"

"Alright, then I’ll sleep now, goodnight, brother."

"Goodnight."

After Little Yu’er fell asleep, Nan Jiayan too felt drowsy. He quietly got up, found a set of clothes, took a shower, and returned to the bedside. He petted Biuqiu and Buxia on the head before climbing into bed and pulling up the covers to sleep.

Before falling asleep, his mind was still filled with the image of Lu Shishu’s serene and faintly smiling face, gradually lulling him into sleep.

Early the next morning, just past eight, Nan Jiayan was preparing breakfast for Little Yu’er when he heard Lu Shishu calling him. This was, he could say, her first time proactively calling him since he returned. Seeing that phone number, he felt a little excitement and quickly picked up with a smile: "Hello..."
