CHAPTER 603: CHAPTER 603: I LIKE HOLDING YOU LIKE THIS

Her heart was warmed by his words.

He must be taking care of the household chores with his heart, doing so for her and their child, right?

At night, the man would first lull Kangkang to sleep, and afterward, naturally, he’d coax An Ruo into his bedroom to do all the things he wanted to do.

For three days straight, they repeated this routine.

The days seemed monotonous, yet it was the monotony of ordinary happiness, the kind of ordinary that An Ruo liked.

On the last night, Tang Yuchen did not want her. He lay in the center of the big bed, hugging the child on his left and embracing An Ruo on his right, doing nothing but quietly feeling their presence beside him.

An Ruo sensed that he was troubled, because there was something off about him today.

"What’s wrong?" she asked him, puzzled.

The man let go of the child and simply held her with both arms, pressing his body tightly against hers.

"I’m alright," he said with a light smile, "I just like holding you both like this. Feeling like I have you means feeling like I have the whole world."

An Ruo looked into his dark, deep eyes, her heart stirred by his words.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but her face remained composed.

However, Tang Yuchen gazed deeply at her, his fingers tracing her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips as if to commit her image to his memory.

An Ruo felt uneasy under his gaze, always feeling like he was hiding something from her.

But he was unwilling to speak, and she did not wish to press him.

Tang Yuchen didn’t allow himself too much time to dwell on sadness; he embraced her tightly, letting her face rest against his chest, preventing them from looking into each other’s eyes.

"Let’s sleep, it’s late," he said gently to her.

An Ruo closed her eyes and it took her a long time to drift off to sleep. In a state between dreaming and waking, she felt him kissing her forehead and lips.

In her ears, his voice resonated low and deep.

She heard him say, "Baby, remember, I will always love you."

That night, An Ruo’s dreams were filled with Tang Yuchen, and when she woke up, she could still feel her heart fluttering deeply.

In bed, as always, it was only her and the child. After getting dressed, she carried Kangkang out and was surprised to see Aunt Zhou had already returned.

"Miss An, you’re awake. The young master left early in the morning. He asked us to tell you he has some business and will be out for half a month."

He had left, and for half a month at that...

An Ruo’s heart suddenly felt hollow, an unpleasant feeling.

However, this was his work, and she should understand and support him, but she couldn’t help feeling reluctant about him leaving.

After several days of sailing, the ship finally docked at a pier and came to a stop.

Wang Gang wasn’t in a hurry to unload the cargo, instead waiting for the person who would come for the trade.

Tang Yuchen leaned against the ship, squinting and enjoying the sea breeze.
