Outside the window pane, the afterglow in the sky was deep that it radiated a faint golden light.

Song Luan woke up, but the little bun sleeping beside her was nowhere to be found. She put on her shoes and walked out. Zhao Nanyu sat by the window with a cup of tea in his hand. His back was facing her, and when he heard her footsteps, he said, "You're awake."

Song Luan's throat was dry, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Well."

Zhao Nanyu put down the teacup in his hand, turned around to look at her and explained, "The child is with his grandmother"

"Oh." She whispered back. Every time she was alone with him, she was uncomfortable. She was still afraid of him.

Zhao Nanyu stood up, walked over, and stood in front of her. His tall body covered the sun light. He was much taller than her. He lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully. He pursed his lips and said, "It's very cold, you should wear more clothes."

Since she just woke up, she was only wearing a set of thin bedclothes. Her face was plain and her face was muddleheaded. It seemed that she was not yet fully awake.

Song Luan was still in a trance. When she woke up, she felt sleepy and lost her ability to think. She went back to the inner room and put on some more clothes before she came out. Her black hair was still messy, so she just put on a hair pin and didn't care much about it.

She thought Zhao Nanyu wouldn't come here tonight. After all, he had never stepped into her house twice a day. So what attracted him to come here!? She can't figure it out!

Zhao Nanyu looked at her thoughtfully and smiled, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Song Luan quickly returned to her senses and responded very quickly.

The edge in his eyes was dark, and he stroked the finger on his thumb unconsciously. He suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the kid likes you very much. I didn't bring him here for how many days and yet he kept thinking about you. He implicitly told me that he wanted to see you. Sure enough, there's a connection between mother and son."

Just giving her son a little sweetness, even when she used to be bad with him, the child still turned to like her.

Zhao Nanyu's words were mostly to test her, or maybe to trap her.

Song Luan clenched her hand, and her palms were already sweating. When he looked at her so attentively, she couldn't help but be nervous. Her scalp became numb and she raised her face and gave a cute and pleasant smile, "Before, I didn't find the kid as cute as now. It's unusual. I couldn't help but be very nice to him."

"Really?" Zhao Nanyu looked uncertain, and could not believe her words.

In fact, he was suspicious of her and didn't believe half of what she said. Of course, it would be good if that was the truth.

Song Luan's face was a little hot, hanging her head, and softly said, "Hmm". It sounded like a mosquito.

Zhao Nanyu didn't ask any further, as if he had just let her go. He said slowly, "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit."

In fact, Song Luan was reluctant to eat at the same table as him. Every meal time, she only dared to stare at the dish in front of her eyes, and did not eat more. She was stiff and could not move her back, for fear that he might find something wrong.

Zhao Nanyu nodded and then asked the servant girl to set up the meal.

Tonight's dishes are especially luxurious. There was a jar of sake on the table. The wine jar was fragnant. Song Luan looked at it several times and licked her lips. The gluttony in her heart is about to break out.
