Gong Jue couldn't help but extend his big palm and touch the boy's forehead.
When he felt a burning warmth, his throat became dry.
The boy was indeed still running a fever.
Although he acted as if nothing had happened, this child was actually very ill. He missed her mother, right?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something unprecedented like asking him to sleep with him.
He was so helpless and attached.
Gong Jue struggled for a long time in his heart.
Finally, he closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Carrying the pitiful boy, they went upstairs together.
Upon receiving Gong Jue's agreement, the scheming boy made a victory sign in his heart.
Oh, it turned out that her father was indeed as the rumors said. He was a little gay and was actually moved by his beautiful looks.
Oh, he just hated sleeping with Bai Mori. He wanted to protect the chastity that was left for his handsome big sister to his death! He didn't have any other intentions.
Daddy, don't flatter yourself.
You're just my shield!
She saw that the boy had successfully made Gong Jue stay.
Bai Mori was disappointed and happy.
What was disappointing was that she couldn't get close to the boy tonight to bond with him.
What made her happy was that that wild girl wasn't a priority. She didn't have much status in Gong Jue's heart, much less higher than the boy's status. She really didn't have to be too nervous.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'll have to trouble you then…"
"It's fine. The Bai family and I are family friends. Furthermore, that child Bai Lang helped Jue a lot. You don't have to be so polite all the time. Let's get the servants to clean up the guest room…"
"Thank you, Uncle and Auntie."
Bai Mori spoke sweetly. She was obedient but not overly solicitous.
Everything was done perfectly.

Mansion Number 0.
Gu Qiqi was about to fall asleep on the bed when she suddenly woke up.
She actually forgot to take a shower and fell asleep on the bed!
Damn it.
If the "Mysophobic Department" saw this, they would laugh non-stop again.
She turned around and saw that the other end of the bed was empty.
The man wasn't back yet.
It was already past midnight.
Tsk. Why did she say that she was waiting for him to return?
Indeed, as the saying goes, even sows can climb trees if they can believe a man's words!
Gu Qiqi rolled around in bed gloomily for a while before she suddenly sat up.
Could Gong Jue have gone on a dangerous mission?
Once this thought surfaced, her heart suddenly beat non-stop.
It was really possible. There wasn't even an explanation message or call. It should be because the environment didn't allow it, right?
The signal was blocked?
Or was he injured after failing the mission?
Gu Qiqi felt even more uneasy.
Immediately, she lost all her sleepiness. She got up and walked to the window. She stared blankly outside the villa at that boulevard…
She was like the most ordinary wife who was anxiously waiting for her husband's late return.
She suddenly realized that Gong Jue's world was actually filled with dangers.
Would Gong Jue's woman have countless sleepless nights like this?
Could she have the strongest mentality to withstand every wait?
As her gaze swept across a star on the horizon, she realized that the answer was actually about to be revealed…

At the Gong Residence.
The boy had already fallen asleep.
Gong Jue was no longer sleepy.
He had been holding his phone up for nearly an hour!
He typed a few words into the text box. "Stupid woman, don't wait for me. Go to sleep first."
After losing, he deleted it. This would make him sound so naggy.
"I'm sorry, I can't go back tonight. I have something to do."
He deleted it again. This looked like he was admitting his mistake!
