Upon hearing this, the security guard didn’t say anything more and watched her open the door, allowing her to go up.
Now she could unlock the fingerprint lock of this apartment too, presumably arranged by that man during the time she lost her memory.
Once she entered, she took the elevator straight to the 11th floor...
At nine o’clock, the two of them should not be asleep yet. Xiaobao usually goes to bed at nine, but that man liked to work late, so he probably wouldn’t sleep that early.
As she watched the floor number getting closer, she suddenly felt a surge of nervousness, as if her return would disturb that father and son.
In fact, her return did indeed disturb the father and son, but not in any other way, rather interrupting the two of them in the bathroom.
"Xiaobao, you wash first by yourself. Daddy is not feeling well. Once you’re done, Daddy will dress you, okay?"
"Okay, but Daddy, do you need to see a doctor?"
"No need, once you’re done, Daddy will just lie on the bed for a bit and it’ll be fine."
The man’s voice in the bathroom seemed to carry a certain restraint, a bit hoarse and weak, but he was still holding on, speaking in a normal tone in front of the child.
And that child, upon hearing his father’s words, obediently started washing himself inside. Amidst the splashing sounds of water, Ye Ning stood outside, able to hear the occasional chatter from him to his dad.
Ye Ning stood there, stunned for a moment. After a while, she remembered her phone and looked towards the table, where she saw a pile of various card paper she didn’t want, and beside the card paper, tools and small scissors scattered all over the table.
While standing there lost in thought, the water sounds from the bathroom suddenly stopped. She paused and looked back, immediately seeing the man carrying a large bath towel and holding his son as they came out.
"Mom, you’re back again!!"
Seeing Ye Ning appear in the living room again, freshly washed Xiaobao happily exclaimed in his dad’s arms.
Ou Mucen was also taken aback!
Why is she back again?
But soon, as he noticed the phone on the table, he understood, and the spark in his eyes that had just appeared was quickly extinguished.
"Alright, it’s late. Daddy will take you to bed now."
"But Mommy’s here..." Xiaobao was reluctant, his big eyes filled with attachment, staring at his mother longingly.
Ou Mucen had no choice but to coax him with a few more words in his ear before Xiaobao obediently listened, and then Ye Ning saw the man carrying the child in his arms into his bedroom.
This was probably the first time she saw him coaxing a child. They’ve known each other for so long and gotten along for quite a while, but this was the first time she really saw him coaxing a child.
Very gentle and patient, so different from the decisive and iron-willed man he was at work.
And before this, Ye Ning remembered clearly that the man had taken over the child from her hands just a few months ago.
In a few months, he had changed so much!
Ye Ning stood in the living room, lost for a moment, even forgetting she was going to leave.
Standing there, about ten minutes later, she heard footsteps coming from the bedroom. Nervously, she tightened her fingers, picked up her phone from the table, and said, "I... I came back to get my phone. I forgot to take it just now."
