Lifetime of Bliss And Contentment With You - Chapter 687
Chapter 687: Who Do You Want To Accompany You?
Pei Yucheng watched as Lin Yan walked toward him and gently cast his document aside.
Before Lin Yan could speak, he spoke up. “Did you sleep and just wake up?”
Hours ago, Pei Yucheng had sent Lin Yan a message but she hadn’t replied.
If Lin Yan had been awake all this time, that meant she had deliberately chosen not to reply to him.
“Oh… I just woke up.” Lin Yan rubbed her eyes as she spoke.
Pei Yucheng’s expression softened.
Sensing that there was something wrong with Lin Yan, Pei Yucheng asked, “What happened?”
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yan wouldn’t have looked for him in the middle of the night.
“Mr. Pei… Is there a baby in Cloud Manor?” Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yucheng curiously.
“Baby?”
Pei Yucheng looked rather puzzled by Lin Yan’s question.
Why would there be a baby in Cloud Manor?
“No.” Pei Yucheng gazed intently at Lin Yan.
“Come out for a while.” Lin Yan stepped forward to grab Pei Yucheng’s hand.
He didn’t resist. He merely left with Lin Yan.
It was dark everywhere.
“Did you hear that?” Lin Yan asked softly as she glanced at Pei Yucheng after leaving the study.
“What?” Pei Yucheng was confused.
“A baby is crying,” quipped Lin Yan.
Pei Yucheng shook his head slightly. “No, I didn’t hear it.”
Even Lin Yan couldn’t hear anything.
“That’s weird…” Lin Yan muttered to herself.
The baby’s cries had vanished without a trace.
“Do you need me to accompany you?” Pei Yucheng glanced at Lin Yan.
“Why would you need to accompany me?” asked Lin Yan instinctively.
“When you sleep,” Pei Yucheng replied with a stoic expression.
Lin Yan was speechless…
Before she could utter a word, that eerie wail rang once more and slowly became louder.
“Listen!” Lin Yan urged him anxiously.
Pei Yucheng frowned, as he had indeed heard something.
He didn’t respond. Instead, he strode toward the sound, which came from the back door of Lin Yan’s room.
Lin Yan hastily trailed after Pei Yucheng.
Seconds later, Pei Yucheng stretched his hands lightly and parted the leaves of the plants.
‘Meow…’
A tiny white kitten was there, blinking in the darkness.
The baby’s cries belonged to the tiny kitten.
“Is this the baby you were referring to?” Pei Yucheng turned to Lin Yan.
“Err…”
She looked rather awkward.
Her legendary reputation was on the line…
“So cute! It’s so pitiful.” Lin Yan’s attention was drawn to the kitten.
The kitten didn’t move as it stared at Lin Yan.
Pei Yucheng picked up the kitten gently.
“Give it to me!” Lin Yan extended both hands.
“Okay.”
Pei Yucheng passed the kitten to Lin Yan.
“I realized that I have an affinity for animals, especially kittens! We just adopted one and here comes another! It’s so pretty… But wait… I need to clean it first before I flaunt it on Weibo!” Lin Yan quipped excitedly to herself.
The little kitten purred in contentment in Lin Yan’s arms and continued to use its head to rub against her arms.
“It seems to like you a lot,” remarked Pei Yucheng.
Lin Yan grinned in agreement. It was true that cats and dogs had adored her ever since she was young.
“Do you still need me? Or do you intend to let it sleep with you?” asked Pei Yucheng.
Lin Yan was speechless…
She had just woken up! She wasn’t sleepy at all!
