Ling Yuchen took a cold shower for more than ten minutes to quell his desire.
His nosebleed had also stopped.
If he hadn't been afraid she couldn't handle it, he surely would have...
But after a whole afternoon, and then again in the evening, she definitely wouldn't be able to bear it.
When he came out of the bathroom, Gong Zhi Jing had already changed into her usual pajamas and was sitting on the bed looking at her phone.
Seeing Ling Yuchen emerge, she said, "I just searched for your symptoms online.
You're too excited, your head is congested, and the nose is the most fragile part, so the blood came out from your nose."
Ling Yuchen snatched her phone away and simultaneously turned off the room light.
The room was plunged into darkness.
Gong Zhi Jing sat still, only feeling the bed beside her sink in slightly.
Ling Yuchen lay down with his back to her and said faintly, "Sleep!"
Gong Zhi Jing obediently lay down but couldn't sleep.
She looked at Ling Yuchen, about to say something, when she felt a gust of wind from beside her.
Then she was embraced in a familiar warmth.
Ling Yuchen closed his eyes and said faintly, "I'm very unhappy. Don't provoke me, or you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!"
Gong Zhi Jing stayed still obediently.
Silence fell in the room, leaving only their breathing.
...
For the next three to four days, the two of them toured the entire scenic area and took several sets of wedding photos.
During this period, Gong Zhi Jing didn't dare to call home once.
She was afraid of hearing Ling Le You crying, and also afraid her voice might make Ling Le You cry.
However, these few days were indeed very enjoyable.
Sitting on the plane back home, Gong Zhi Jing's mind was filled with thoughts of her daughter.
They hadn't seen each other for almost four days, and she really missed her, missed her so much. Her heart was already full of joy, eagerly anticipating meeting her daughter soon.
Ling Yuchen's expression was a little sour.
After they returned, there would be one more person to consider.
As Gong Zhi Jing eagerly looked forward, the plane finally landed at the Ling family's private hangar.
Then they got into a car and returned to the old residence together.
As soon as she got out of the car, Gong Zhi Jing couldn't wait to rush home.
Ling Yuchen parked the car and could only watch her leave him behind.
As expected, after their return, her eyes were only for their daughter...
Gong Zhi Jing went directly to the front courtyard living room. Coincidentally, Zhu Yun Fei was basking in the sun in the courtyard with Ling Le You.
Many flowers were planted in the courtyard, all very precious varieties, favored by Old Madam Ling and Zhu Yun Fei.
Ling Le You was currently happily destroying flowers with her little hands, reaching out to pull off a flower and crushing it to pieces.
If she wasn't allowed to play, she would cry and fuss. And she loved flowers when she saw them, so even the most precious flowers could only be ruined by her hands.
There was nothing they could do, for she was the little darling of the family. As long as she was happy, they would probably try to pluck the stars from the sky for her.
Looking at her daughter whom she had missed day and night, Gong Zhi Jing could not see anyone else.
She happily called out, "Le You baby!"
Ling Le You suddenly heard a familiar voice and immediately turned her head. The moment she saw Gong Zhi Jing, her eyes widened.
Zhu Yun Fei, holding the baby, also showed a look of surprise. She quickly said to Ling Le You, "Le You, look, who's back."
Ling Le You stared blankly at Gong Zhi Jing, then her little mouth pouted, and she burst into tears, feeling extremely wronged.
Her little hands opened, waving incessantly at Gong Zhi Jing, wanting her to hold her.
Gong Zhi Jing couldn't bear it any longer. She quickened her pace and hugged her daughter into her arms.
"Baby, don't cry, don't cry. Mommy's back. Stop crying, my little one..."
The more Gong Zhi Jing comforted her, the more Ling Le You cried, as if she had suffered great injustice.
Seeing this, Zhu Yun Fei said jokingly, "You little devil, anyone would think I've been mistreating you, crying like this!"
Ling Yuchen, who arrived a step behind, saw this scene. His eldest baby was hugging his little baby.
The little baby was crying non-stop. Judging by her appearance, it would probably take a while for her to calm down.
During this period, he would once again become redundant.
Clearly, she was his wife, so why were there so many people competing for her affection?
After a long time, Ling Le You finally stopped crying.
But she clung to Gong Zhi Jing's clothes and refused to let go, fearing that her mother would run away if she loosened her grip.
She rested her head on her mother's shoulder, occasionally turning her head to look at her, as if afraid this was a dream and her mother would disappear again in an instant.
Gong Zhi Jing felt heartbroken. She held her daughter tightly, and the mother and daughter were very affectionate.
On the day they returned, Ling Le You wanted no one but Gong Zhi Jing to hold her. She wouldn't let go even for a moment.
Whether it was going to the bathroom, eating, or sleeping, if she was left alone for even a moment, she would cry.
This was clearly a manifestation of extreme insecurity.
This truly broke Gong Zhi Jing's heart. She would kiss her daughter from time to time, holding her tightly and showering her with affection.
Ling Yuchen could only watch helplessly as his wife was taken away, unable to say or do anything.
He began to miss the days of traveling.
Just as he was contemplating when he could coax his wife out for another trip, Gong Zhi Jing said, "Le You is still young. Let's go out and play again when she grows up. Seeing her like this makes my heart ache so much."
Ling Yuchen's face immediately fell. He frowned and asked, "Weren't you happy during the days we were traveling?"
"I was happy," Gong Zhi Jing said naturally. "But how can happiness be more important than my daughter?"
Saying this, she kissed her daughter's sleeping face and held her even tighter.
Ling Yuchen was speechless. He couldn't possibly say that he was jealous of his own daughter!
Gong Zhi Jing's eyes no longer held him. She hugged her daughter and went to nap by herself.
She held her daughter in her arms, holding her tightly. Both mother and daughter felt very secure.
Ling Yuchen could only sleep alone, looking pitiful.
If he moved a little closer to Gong Zhi Jing, she would say, "It's too crowded. Move further away from me..."
And because there weren't enough blankets for the three of them, he often had to lie under a blanket by himself.
At these times, he would wonder when his child would grow up and when his wife would belong to him again?
Thinking about it, this wish seemed a bit distant, because they still planned to have a second child.
Who could stand this?
Once she was pregnant, he wouldn't be able to touch her again.
But not having another child was also not an option. Not to mention others, Gong Zhi Jing herself wouldn't agree.
Lost in thought, Ling Yuchen couldn't sleep the more he thought about it. He sat up and stared intently at Gong Zhi Jing.
Gong Zhi Jing, who had been dozing with her eyes closed, initially felt a little sleepy. But she kept feeling a gaze fixed upon her.
She opened her eyes, slowly turned her head, and met Ling Yuchen's gaze instantly.
Gong Zhi Jing frowned and asked, "Why are you staring at me without sleeping?"
Ling Yuchen frowned and said, "I can't sleep."
"What's wrong?"
Gong Zhi Jing asked.
Ling Yuchen's thin lips parted, but what he said was very childish.
"Can you please stop only comforting our daughter and ignore your husband? I want kisses and hugs too."
