The family of four rarely managed to share a meal together, and both host and guests were thoroughly delighted.
Hearing that Runyu had been taking care of Xufeng all these years, Baize felt a sudden prickle of embarrassment.
The child he and Tuyao had created was actually being raised by someone else.
If it were his own old man, that would be one thing, since they were related by blood.
Yet having Runyu raise the child left Baize with a faint sense of lingering guilt.
He was hardly grown up himself, and yet here he was, acting like a stay-at-home dad.
He had originally planned to take Xufeng over to care for him, but to his surprise, the little rascal actually preferred Runyu.
When asked why, he only then discovered that Xufeng wanted a younger sister.
Tuyao expressed absolute satisfaction with this reasoning.
She assured the two children that she would definitely bring them a younger sister or brother as soon as possible.
Ever since returning from the Xuanji Palace, Baize entered a life of eating well, resting well, and indulging in endless warm, passionate nights.
Yet the children they imagined never arrived.
Thus the long river of time quietly slipped away from their side, and in the blink of an eye, both Runyu and Xufeng had grown into big boys.
