Chapter 2455: Chapter 2455: Someone Must Have Been Here!
He opened the floor-to-ceiling window, climbed through it, softened his steps, and walked towards Ye Mingmei.
Ensuring she had inhaled the Soothing Fragrance and was truly asleep, he gently picked her up and turned to enter the room.
Seeing the small figure on the bed, Bai Zheng paused, his gaze softening.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then approached with Ye Mingmei in his arms, placing her beside Meimei, greedily gazing at the serene faces of the mother and daughter as they slept.
These were the two most important women in his life.
"Daddy..."
The sudden voice made Bai Zheng freeze, startled, he turned to look at the little Meimei beside him.
Seeing the little girl with her eyes tightly shut, he realized she wasn’t awake and was calling "Daddy" in her dream, a small smile opening on her face...
Bai Zheng felt as though something had struck his chest hard!
A strange tremor surged in his blood, as if wanting to burst through his veins.
He stepped forward, his coarse hand gently stroking the little girl’s cheek, looking at her delicate and beautiful face, unable to resist bending down to plant a kiss on her forehead.
"Daddy is here, right beside you." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
It was as if Meimei truly heard him; the corners of her little mouth curled up, and she slept soundly again with a smile.
Bai Zheng’s eyes flickered, he lay beside Ye Mingmei, reaching out to pull her into his embrace.
Three years had passed, and this was his first time truly feeling her warmth, her breath...
Even while unconscious, he wasn’t completely senseless; countless times he heard her voice as if it were right beside him, yet he was utterly unable to respond, that feeling of powerlessness nearly driving him mad!
Bai Zheng could not control the urge to hold Ye Mingmei tightly in his arms, even wanting more!
But he couldn’t; if he touched her, she would surely sense something amiss.
Now wasn’t the time, he had to wait.
Three years, the hardship they endured as mother and daughter, he must repay bit by bit, slowly with the days to come.
"Mm..."
Ye Mingmei gently turned over, as if smelling something familiar, her face suddenly turned towards Bai Zheng, unconsciously snuggling into his embrace.
Having no desire to release her, as Ye Mingmei moved closer, he instantly wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Don’t bother looking for me anymore, I am right here with you, and I will never leave you and Meimei."
The tender goodnight kiss landed on Ye Mingmei’s lips.
He almost couldn’t pull himself away.
Biting his lip, he forced himself to remain calm, just holding Ye Mingmei as he slept through the night.
As the sky gradually lightened, Ye Mingmei, weighed down by thoughts, woke up soon after.
Opening her eyes, seeing everything in front of her, she suddenly froze, then swiftly sat up, startled, glancing down at herself.
She remembered clearly sitting on the balcony’s tatami last night; when did she return to her room?
And she slept so soundly...
She even dreamed Yu Xiuzhun had returned, holding her as he slept through the night...
She desperately wanted to open her eyes to see him, but her eyelids were heavy, unable to open them.
Such a realistic dream, so real it didn’t seem like a dream.
Ye Mingmei reached out to touch the empty space beside her, still warm, as if the person sleeping next to her wasn’t an illusion but had just left!
Ye Mingmei suddenly flung the blanket aside, rushed to the balcony, seeing the pillow on the balcony tatami, her eyes tensed heavily, anxiously lifting her head to look outside the window.
Someone must have been here!
