"Where’s Miyasha?" Si Yuheng came over directly.

"Just finished nursing, the nanny is now coaxing her to sleep."

"Has she adapted well to the change in environment these days?"

Vivi didn’t dare to say otherwise: "Well, she’s adapting quite quickly, it’s not really a change in environment, just a change of rooms. I specifically arranged for two very experienced old nannies to care for her, and even hired a wet nurse."

He acknowledged with a satisfied tone and headed straight toward the nursery.

Vivi subtly blocked his way: "Is Hall Master going to see the baby?"

"What else?" He seemed to find the question redundant; why else would he be here this late at night?

"The baby just ate, and the nanny is putting her to sleep." Vivi spoke with a touch of coy shyness.

The implication was that since the baby was preparing to sleep, there was no need to disturb her or visit her.

Si Yuheng paused his steps: "Sleeping? Perfect, I’ll coax her myself."

Saying this, he continued on without looking back and walked into the nursery.

Vivi felt a bit exasperated.

But... never mind, as long as the child was here, the Hall Master would have plenty of opportunities to visit, so what was one day?

Then, she hurriedly followed.

The door opened, and Si Yuheng saw Xiaoxiao in the nanny’s arms, with a pouty face, looking like she was about to cry.

Perhaps upon seeing her father, Xiaoxiao suddenly got spirited and started crying: "Wah wah—"

Si Yuheng’s temper flared instantly, and he turned to glare at Vivi: "Didn’t you say she’s adapting well? Why is she crying like this!"

Saying this, he took Xiaoxiao from the nanny’s arms.

The two nannies didn’t dare make a sound and could only look at Vivi with pleading eyes.

Vivi explained: "Hall Master, it’s normal for infants to cry. Even at Miss Liang’s place, it’s impossible for her not to cry at all..."

"Enough, everyone out! Useless people, can’t even get a baby to sleep." He waved them off impatiently.

Vivi gave Xiaoxiao a resentful look.

This little baby was just like a little fox!

Just now, when she left, Xiaoxiao was fine, no crying then, no crying later, but as soon as the Hall Master arrived, she cried—wasn’t she deliberately giving Vivi a hard time?!

But she could only swallow her anger and leave with the two nannies.

Once the three of them left, Xiaoxiao immediately blinked her grape-like eyes, whimpered a couple of times, and stopped crying.

Si Yuheng couldn’t help but frown, lifting his daughter up, lightly grinding his teeth: "You’re as cunning as your mom!"

The little meatball hovered in the air, looking innocently at her dad, with an expression that seemed to say she knew nothing.

Si Yuheng’s tone softened a bit: "Are you using this way to tell me you want to go back to mommy?"

The little meatball naturally couldn’t respond, but seemed to have a tacit understanding, able to comprehend, her dark lashes fluttering.

In a certain light, she looked just like Liang Anya.

He narrowed his eyes: "If she were as well-behaved as you, I wouldn’t have temporarily separated you two."

The little meatball blankly stared at the man in front of her, making a few instinctive babbling sounds: "Yiyi..."

"You think it’s your mommy’s fault too, right?"

"Yiyi..."

"Yes, I’m justified in punishing her!"

"Yiyi..."

"Hmm, truly my dear daughter, standing by my side!"

"Yaya..."

Si Yuheng sat on the carpet by the crib, holding the little meatball, indignantly asking and answering his own questions.

Liang Anya sneezed several times in a row, feeling restless all night.

Is someone bad-mouthing me behind my back?

Until Beth returned to the room.

"Beth, how’s Xiaoxiao, has she slept?" she asked urgently.

Even though Vivi forbade her from visiting Xiaoxiao, every night she would still have Beth go over to discreetly inquire about Xiaoxiao’s condition from the maids, only then could she sleep peacefully.

"Miss Liang, it seems the Hall Master went over tonight."

She was taken aback, but it wasn’t surprising. Now that Xiaoxiao was with Vivi, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to occasionally visit Xiaoxiao there.

Calming her emotions, she said: "I wasn’t asking about him, I was asking how Xiaoxiao was today."

"She’s fine, after feeding, the nanny coaxed her to sleep as usual. When the Hall Master went over, he and Miss Vivi entered the nursery together, most likely to coax Xiaoxiao to sleep themselves."

Her mind wavered slightly, almost visualizing a man and woman with Xiaoxiao, like a family enjoying domestic bliss.

Why! That’s her daughter!

Now she had become a bridge for their flirting, sweetly?

"Miss Liang?" Beth saw her face change from red to purple and softly probed.

She snapped back, biting her lip: "Didn’t you advise me this afternoon to win his favor?"

"Yes..." Beth was taken aback.

"Tell him... oh no, invite, invite him over!" She stood up abruptly.

After coaxing Xiaoxiao to sleep, Si Yuheng walked out of the nursery.

Vivi, who had been waiting, walked over: "Hall Master, is the baby asleep?"

"Yes."

"Hall Master, you worked hard, come over to my place next door for a cup of tea." Vivi extended a heartfelt invitation, her tone tender and alluring.

Before he could respond, Beth came down the corridor: "Hall Master."

Vivi’s face changed: "Beth, what are you doing here in the middle of the night."

Beth hesitated, looking at the Hall Master.

"Speak," Si Yuheng glanced at Vivi displeased.

With the Hall Master’s backing, Beth said: "Miss Liang invites the Hall Master to visit."

Vivi’s face twitched, not believing her ears.

That Asian woman had invited the Hall Master to her room right in front of her!

Could she get any more shameless?

A surge of jealousy and anger rose, Vivi said coldly: "It’s late. The Hall Master has just taken care of Miyasha and needs to rest."

Beth mumbled quietly: "But Miss Vivi also just invited the Hall Master to stay."

"What did you say?" Vivi’s ears perked.

Si Yuheng impatiently said: "Enough, go back. If you wake Miyasha up, I’ll deal with you."

These words were naturally directed at Vivi.

Vivi swallowed her dissatisfaction, bowing her head, watching the Hall Master leave with Beth at a brisk pace.

He pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The bedroom was quiet, with the ceiling light turned off.

A corner table lamp emitted an ambiguous glow of dim light.

He flickered his gaze, this woman, what trick is she playing?

He continued forward until he stopped by the bed.

The air carried an indescribable fragrance.

For a man not lacking in women around him, this perfume scent was not unfamiliar.

It was a seductive rose incense. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The floor-to-ceiling window was half-open, the night breeze gently wafting in, lifting the curtains to reveal a slender figure.

She wore a light purple silk nightgown, lying on her side, back facing him.
