Xia You glanced at him and, without saying much more, turned around to place her daughter into the crib, covered her with a blanket, and finally bent down to gently kiss her little face.
Gu Zhiyan stood at the doorway with his phone in hand, watching this scene, light flickering in the depths of his eyes...
In the past, marriage, family... to him, they had always been a cruel affair.
But at this moment, looking at the woman with a gentle expression and the adorable baby, his heart felt a stirring...
...
Xia You got up and turned to leave the bedroom.
Gu Zhiyan followed her out.
"It's getting late; you should head back now," Xia You turned to look at him, then reminded him.
Gu Zhiyan switched off the flashlight on his phone, glanced back at the bedroom, and then suddenly said,
"I'm stepping out for a bit."
With those words, he turned around, opened the front door, and left.
