Upon seeing Wan Chu'er appear, Jiang Kechu felt his limbs stiffen in disobedience, his eyes locked onto Wan Chu'er, and his mood became nervously cautious and pleasing. It was as if he had returned to when he was first pursuing Wan Chu'er.
Watching her gently interact with her little daughter, Jiang Kechu felt a tickling yearning in his heart.
Finally, when Chuanqi returned to play with the ball, Jiang Kechu quickly moved closer and called out with a smile, "Chuchu, you're awake."
Wan Chu'er intended to ignore him, but she couldn't resist glancing at him. The sight of Jiang Kechu's ingratiating and tentative expression caught her eye. Wan Chu'er paused, her face expressionless amid Jiang Kechu's hopeful look as she turned away and headed straight to the back kitchen to ask Mrs. Zhu for breakfast.
Watching Wan Chu'er walk away indifferently, Jiang Kechu stood rooted to the spot, his heart cold as if soaked in icy water.
