Chapter 1: Peace in This Life

  On a winter morning, the sun rarely came out in the sky, and the thick snow on the ground began to show signs of melting.

  Scientific laws tell us that the weather for thawing snow is always colder than snowy days. Outside, the cold wind was howling, and at this moment, in a luxurious villa under the city, a delicate little girl stood outside a bedroom on the second floor, with a hint of evil light flashing in her big black eyes.

  Its already eight oclock, and Dad and Mom are still not getting out of bed. They must be hiding under the covers playing games again. Humph, every time they dont play with me, just you wait! This little girl is only six or seven years old, but she has a face like a lovely little angel. However, this little brat is actually full of mischief.

  "Dad, Mom, get up quickly, the kitchen is on fire! Yaner is scared, waaahhh...!" The little girl was banging heavily on the door while making crying sounds. Her grandmother had observed for a long time and concluded that the crying sound was 99% fake and 1% eye drops.

  The heating in the house is very sufficient, unlike the cold outside the villa, this room can be said to be full of spring.

  The little girls crying obviously disturbed the woman on the bed, who saw her plump eyelashes tremble a few times, and a pair of beautiful eyes opened.

  The girls eyes are extremely beautiful, with a hint of coolness in her charm, both seductive and pure, two completely opposite qualities blended together in her eyelids as if they were born.

  As soon as she came to, the woman saw the man holding her tightly by her side. She gently pushed against his chest and softly called out: "Qi, wake up quickly, Yaner is knocking on the door..."

  The man slept more soundly than the woman, but with a push from her, he woke up.

  "Never mind her."

  The mans voice was low and soothing, like the low-pitched sound of a violin.

  The little girls crying outside the door grew louder, and the woman felt like she was now in a state of being between ice and fire.

  Beis teeth lightly bit her lower lip, and the woman finally said with a resigned expression: "Qǐ, Yānér is crying loudly, lets go out and take a look, okay?"

  She knew he never liked being disturbed when he had just woken up. But outside the door was his daughter, and his daughter also called her "mommy".

  "Yaner, you little scamp, dont pretend you dont know, how many times has she pulled this stunt already, huh?"

  Although it was so, but Yaner... A woman wanted to refute, but a man took the lead and sealed her lips first.

  After a long time, his head rested against the womans powdered shoulder, and his shallow breathing mixed with the fragrance of perfume brushed past her shiny white nose tip.

  How many times he woke up early in the morning, he always liked to lean against her, as if they were intimate lovers. But in fact, they both knew that she didnt love him, and he didnt love her either. Although they had the closest relationship in the world as husband and wife, but after all, the two of them were just strangers under the same roof.

  As soon as the two of them finished washing up and opened the door, they saw that Xiaoyuans big eyes were red, obviously having cried.

  "Waaah, Mommy... Daddy, youre so bad, so mean! *sobs*..." She clutched at Gu Xiyans leg, the little girl crying pitifully: "Mommy, you and Daddy never made Yaner wait that long before... Waaah, Mommy, dont you and Daddy want Yaner anymore? Waaaah..."

  Xiao Yatou burst into tears, and Gu Xiyuan was immediately enveloped in a strong sense of guilt. She quickly bent down to wipe away Xiao Yatous tears, her eyes filled with heartache as she said: "Yaner, how could Mommy and Daddy not want you? Sorry, its all your fathers fault for not getting up. Be good, dont cry, Mommy will hold you, we wont bother with your father." As she spoke, Gu Xiyuan scooped up Xiao Yatou in her arms, and as they were leaving, she couldnt help but give the man behind her a fierce glare. Yet, why did that gaze still contain a hint of resentment?

  He rubbed his nose bridge, knowing he had really gotten on his wifes nerves this time. Ha! Interesting!

  At the dinner table, the man was eating his own food, while Gu Xiyan was comforting the still sniffling Xiaotou.

  "Mommy, you really wont abandon me, will you?" Every few bites of toast, the little girl would raise her head and ask Gu Xiyan once.

  "Yes, I wont." Gu Xiyan showed no impatience. Yaner was a sensitive child and she had always known it. Since the time two years ago when Yaner accidentally found out that she wasnt her biological mother, she had been afraid of being left behind. As for the mother-daughter relationship with Yaner, Gu Xiyan had always managed it very carefully, to the point where one could say she was walking on thin ice.

  "Mommy, do you love Yaner?" The little girl asked again.

  "Mommy loves Yaner very much." Gu Xiyan was telling the truth.

  "Does Mommy love Daddy too?" The little girl was innocent after all.

  This time, Gu Xiyan did not answer immediately. She didnt know how to deceive a six-year-old child.

  "Yaner, come here." Fortunately, the man who had finished his meal finally found his conscience and resolved Gu Xiyans awkward situation.

  "Daddy, do you love Mommy?" The little girl asked after kissing her mothers face and then jumped into her fathers arms.

  "Yaner, of course." The mans cool and cold face naturally softened when facing his daughter.

  Of course? Of course love? Of course dont love? Gu Xiyan couldnt help but laugh inwardly after hearing the mans words, this man is really clever!

  "Dad, why did you get up late today? Is it because you played games with Mommy for too long yesterday?" Two soft little hands wrapped around the mans neck, and the little girl wouldnt let go.

  Gu Xiyan was told the truth, and the milk in her mouth almost sprayed out. She looked at the man again, but he still had that serious expression: "Yaner, children who know too much will grow wolf tails."

  "Father is deceiving people, Yaner doesnt believe it." The little girl deliberately shook her head, as if that was a very casual movement.

  "Yaner, Father wants to discuss something with you." After holding the little girl aside and saying something, the little girls small face, no bigger than a mans palm, bloomed into a flower.

  "Mummy, mummy, from now on, Yaner will be a good child and wont disturb daddy and you playing games anymore." Just as Gu Xiyuan finished breakfast and was about to clear the dishes, little Xiaotou rushed to her side with a happy shout.

  She affectionately pinched the childs little nose and glanced at the man.

  The man still looked calm and unruffled, his thoughts unreadable. Gu Xiyan didnt try to guess what he was thinking either; this man, after five years of marriage, remained an enigma to her.

  "Yaner, what did Father say to you?" Seeing the expectant look on Xiao Yatous face, Gu Xiyan knew that this little girl was waiting for her to ask.

  "Its a secret." With a slight raise of her head, Xiaoyu let out two words.

  The dappled sunlight filtered into the room, illuminating the entire space. In the kitchen, Gu Xiyan was washing dishes with warm water, while in the living room, her father and daughter were chatting freely, their occasional laughter carrying over to her ears.

  If this life can go on like this, it would be a perfect blessing! Gu Xiyan smiled, with warmth in her eyebrows and eyes.
