She didn’t actually want him to stay.

She was just worried about him being outside, drinking, smoking, staying up all night.

The red veins in his eyes were too obvious.

Especially the stubble—he hadn’t shaved since he left.

Li Xingle felt a bitter sweetness in his heart. He could stay by her side, accompany her and the child. He was happy, but what was she really thinking?

Was it just because she didn’t want him enjoying himself outside, didn’t want to suffer alone? Or maybe it was just so he could see her cold stares every day!

"Madam, you finally came down. The doctor said you should eat on time!" The butler, seeing them enter the dining room one after the other, said worriedly.

"Butler, I know, I’ll make sure to eat on time." She had waited outside the study for several hours, and naturally hadn’t eaten on time.

"Sir, I leave the Madam in your care!" The butler said before leaving.

Li Xingle looked as usual, thinking that he had been back for a few hours, could it be that she had been waiting outside all that time?

Could she endure it?

Already so thin, even during pregnancy she hadn’t gained weight; her pig-brained stupidity was really pig-brained!

In the afternoon, Li Buyan suddenly heard familiar music coming from inside the villa.

Curious, she followed the sound of the music; it was a maid listening to a song.

She was all too familiar with the melody; she had played it for Li Xingle before. At that time, she had named it; he suggested calling it "Buyan." Back then, she didn’t know the blood relationship between them, and laughed, asking if naming it after herself was too narcissistic.

"Madam! Is there something you need? Did I disturb you?" The maid immediately turned off the music.

"No, I just wanted to ask what song you’re listening to, it’s very nice." Li Buyan asked with a smile.

The song just now was sung by a woman, her voice beautiful like a celestial harmony.

"Does Madam like it too? This song is called ’Nian,’ by a newly debuted female singer named Jian Nian! It’s said she wrote the lyrics and music herself! It’s so beautiful! This song is a big hit in the country!" The maid said excitedly, "Does Madam want to hear it again?"

Li Buyan hadn’t said anything when the maid had already pressed play again. The strange yet beautiful song drifted back into her ears.

A newly debuted female singer, Jian Nian, who wrote the lyrics and music herself, with the song titled ’Nian.’

She was very sure she had never played it in front of anyone, except Li Xingle.

This familiar melody—Li Xingle told that singer about it!

Bitterly, she asked, "Do you have a photo? I want to see what the person who sings such a nice song looks like!"

The maid immediately pulled it up for her.

The girl on the screen looked no more than eighteen, with a bun in her hair, holding a guitar in her hand, her head tilted slightly, wearing light makeup, a silver star stuck to the corner of her eye, smiling with a dimple, adorable and lively, and her voice was very pleasant.

Jian Nian, Jian Nian, even the name is so beautiful.

Did Li Xingle like her?

Did he like her or not like herself, for him to give the song that only the two of them knew to someone else.

Did he ask her opinion?

That was her song!

Her song!

Not Li Xingle’s!

"Madam, isn’t she pretty? Singers nowadays are getting younger and more talented! A singer-songwriter, and it’s said she’s good at dancing too!" The maid continued with a smile.

Li Buyan had already left.

This song was indeed a bit sad, but with a name like ’Nian,’ missing someone, it was too beautiful!

Today she played it on repeat, never getting tired of it!

Li Buyan found Li Xingle playing indoor golf, "Do you like her?"
