beside him and greeted her. 。Zhao Yizhen just smiled at her, without speaking. 。"Honey, what do you want to talk about" Shangguan Nana asked. 。"Nana, can you tell me, what's been going on with you lat...In the room, a little girl named Xiaoyi kept bouncing on the soft bed, tugging at Yang Ning wanting her to tell her a story.

Yang Ning had absolutely no experience coaxing children, but at this moment, she was very grateful that Xiao Ai had stopped her. This way, she wouldn't have to face An Tianxiang alone.

"What kind of story would you like to hear" Yang Ning suppressed the unease in his heart, focusing all his attention on the little girl before him, not wanting to feel even a trace of An Tianxiang's presence.

"Snow White."

"Um...White..."

Lost in thought, Yang Ning nearly responded. Upon hearing the voice, she quickly raised her head and saw An Tianxiang holding Xiao Ai nestled under the blanket.

Yang Ning was a little speechless. She closed her phone, which she had been about to use to find a fairy tale, stood up, and moved away from the bed.

"Little Ai, let Uncle An tell you a story. Sister is going to take a shower first." Yang Ning looked a little embarrassed. She didn't dare to look into those innocent eyes, and she didn't want to be seen by An Tianxiang's awkwardness, so she dropped the words and ran away.

Who knew, An Tianxiang had absolutely no intention of letting her leave. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Ai with a hint of amusement before saying in a deliberate tone, "Xiao Ai, mommy doesn't want to tell you a story, only daddy can."

An Tianxiang's words, both spoken and unspoken, were filled with helplessness and pity. He was clearly trying to use this to manipulate Yang Ning, but Yang Ning wasn't going to fall for it. She had already taken a step into the shower room, but the faint voice behind her felt like a huge boulder blocking her path.

"Not sister, it's Mommy. Mommy and Daddy will tell me a story together, okay I want to hear Cinderella more than Snow White."

Xiao Ai's soft and gentle voice struck a chord in Yang Ning's heart, making her clench her fingers and let out a long sigh.

"Not here yet"

It seemed An Tianxiang had expected Yang Ning to be persuaded by Xiao Ai's words. He chuckled softly, his tone overflowing with smugness.

Although unwilling, Yang Ning didn't want to shatter a little girl's simple wish.

She glanced at An Tianxiang lying diagonally on the bed, her eyes revealing anger and discomfort that she wished could turn into seawater to drown him.

"Alright." Yang Ning replied, though unwillingly. He moved back to the bedside quickly nonetheless.

Although Xiao Ai was young, she was extraordinarily sensitive to the interaction between the two. She clearly sensed that An Tianxiang beside her was breathing more lightly because of Yang Ning's presence.

She blinked, realizing there might be a misunderstanding between the two of them.

The two adults in the room, they were sizing each other up, both oblivious to Little Ai's quick wit.

Yang Ning sat on the bed, pulling out Cinderella's fairy tale on his phone to coax Xiao Ai, who was lying in the quilt, to sleep. His mind and body were trying their best to keep a distance from An Tianxiang, who was very close to him.

"Oh, this crystal shoe is so magical"

Halfway through, An Tianxiang surprisingly asked a question, causing Yang Ning and Xiao Ai to both glance at him.

"Haven't you heard this story"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yang Ning suddenly realized that An Tianxiang had already lost all of his past memories. This kind of fairytale, which was only told to children, was definitely something he had never come across during his busy days of studying.

An Tianxiang nodded without hesitation, his handsome face showing no trace of embarrassment.

He twirled a lock of Xia Ai's soft hair between his fingers, honestly admitting, "No, is that something everyone knows"

"Of course not." Xiao Ai nodded obediently, her cherry-sized lips curving into a gentle smile: "Xiao Ai doesn't know either, so it's normal for Daddy not to know."

Hearing Xiao Ai say this, the two people present couldn't help but dim the light in their eyes. There were countless fairy tales about orphanages, and Xiao Ai naturally knew them. She was just taking care of An Tianxiang's feelings, so she denied it.

At this moment, both Yang Ning and An Tianxiang found it hard to imagine what kind of experiences could have transformed a girl who was supposed to be innocent and lively into someone so sensitive and well-behaved.

My wife, the cold and calculating one, is in trouble.endured inwardly, gritting its teeth, afraid of doing anything excessive."Mountain Cat, if you don't get your ass back here, I can't guarantee what I'm going to do." He said through gritted teeth.Over...
