No matter if he’s learning from Ansel or not, as long as he’s willing to speak, it’s good.

Jian Yufei smiled and waved at them, "Okay, stop talking, Grandpa’s ears can’t take it anymore."

Ansel giggled as he ran over, grabbing one of Jian Yufei’s hands.

"Let’s go, Daddy Mommy."

Junqi also ran over, squeezing out Ruan Tianling who was holding Jian Yufei, and grabbed her other hand.

"Let’s go!"

Ruan Tianling’s face immediately darkened.

These two kids, do they even regard him at all?!

What made him even more frustrated was that Jian Yufei held their hands, ignored him, and just walked away.

Ruan Tianling stood there in frustration for a while before quickly following up.

But he eventually managed to turn the tables.

When getting in the car, he pulled Jian Yufei to sit in the front seat.

As for those two little ones, he directly tossed them into the rear seats.

...

After they left, Nangong Ruyue went to Xiao Zexin’s room to visit him.

Xiao Zexin had been in a deep sleep for too long, causing his body to become quite thin.

Nangong Ruyue sat by the bed, supporting her belly, and gazed sadly at his face.

Seeing Jian Yufei’s family of four go out and have fun, she felt both happy and sad inside.

Happy that they could go out happily.

Sad that she couldn’t join in with them.

Actually, every family is made up of a husband and wife and their children.

They have their own lives, and as parents, it’s hard to completely integrate.

That’s why couples treasure each other so much.

Because parents will leave us one day, and children will have their own families too.

Only a partner will be by your side forever.

So now, she really only has Xiao Zexin.

Only he truly belongs to her.

Yet he has been in this sleep, she feels pain while also a faint loneliness.

Nangong Ruyue held Xiao Zexin’s hand, "Zexin, when will you wake up? Can’t you hear our voices?"

"..."

"I hope so much that you can wake up, I really need you, do you know that?"

Xiao Zexin couldn’t respond to her.

Nangong Ruyue sadly closed her eyes, adjusted her position, and gently leaned over beside him.

She just held his hand like this without speaking a word.

Unknowingly, Nangong Ruyue closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Then, she had a dream.

She dreamt that Xiao Zexin woke up—

He held her hand and gently called her name.

"Ruyue, Ruyue?"

The voice seemed both distant and near...

Nangong Ruyue tried hard to open her eyes but couldn’t do it.

"Ruyue, it’s me, Ruyue, I’ve woken up..."

Xiao Zexin woke up?!

Nangong Ruyue suddenly became alert and woke up, she quickly opened her eyes and immediately felt the anomaly in the room.

There was a man in loose pajamas standing by the window.

He was tall and upright, but his body was somewhat thin.

With weary black eyes, he stared at her unblinking.

Nangong Ruyue was stunned, her eyes wide open in disbelief—

She looked at the place beside her, it was empty.

Her gaze fell back on him...

"Zexin?"

With his hands behind him, Xiao Zexin clenched them tightly.

"Zexin, you’re awake? You’re really awake?!" Nangong Ruyue stood up excitedly.

She rubbed her eyes, confirming this wasn’t a dream.

Her mood could be described as overwhelmingly joyful.

"Zexin, you’ve finally woken up!"

Nangong Ruyue ran excitedly towards him, but Xiao Zexin backed away into the corner of the wall.
