Chapter 35 - Ah Well, She Is My Daughter (3)
The little kitten remained motionless in the same position with all her four paws facing upward for a while. A minute or so later, perhaps she was finally tired, she rolled around a few times in bed and somewhere in between her rolling, transformed back into her human form.
She was tired now. This time, she was really going to go to bed.
But she didn’t want to sleep alone; she wanted to sleep with her mommy meow!
The little girl immediately climbed off the bed with her stuffed fish toy in her arms, opened up the door, and went to knock on Ye Qing’s door.
Ye Qing had finished getting ready for bed and had just laid down with her tablet and was about to start watching her shows.
She was barely three minutes in when she heard the knocking.
Three knocks, pause. Three more knocks, pause again…
The familiar way of knocking. This must be her work subject.
Ye Qing felt desperate.
She reeeeaaallly wanted to watch her shows!!
But she had, after all, signed the contract and couldn’t just pretend that she didn’t hear it. Without any other options, she hit the pause button, got out of bed, and cautiously opened up a crack of the door.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened up the door, the little girl immediately wanted to force her way in.
Squeezing in between small gaps was, no doubt, Cotton Candy’s strong suit.
But Ye Qing was prepared, she tenderly and decisively blocked the little girl. With a gentle smile on her face, she rubbed the little girl’s hair, which was now messy, and said in a soft tone, “What’s the matter, Mianmian. Do you need something this late at night?”
Little kiddo Chen Mian subconsciously nudged her mother on her palm and said a soft and sticky voice, “Mommy, Mianmian wanted to sleep with you tonight~”
Ye Qing blinked and looked down on the little girl. She poked the little girl on her forehead with her index finger and said, “Well, you can’t.”
Chen Mian was a little stunned and asked, “Why not? You used to sleep with daddy all the time!”
Why was it okay to sleep with daddy but not with her?
Because she was not on duty 24 hours a day. Bedtime at night was her personal time.
It was important to keep one’s personal life separated from one’s work life.
She rubbed the little girl gently on her head and said, “Because daddy and mommy are both adults. Adults can sleep together, but adults cannot sleep with little kids.”
Chen Mian felt that there was something wrong with what she said. But she was too young to figure out what was wrong with that statement, so she could only nod pitifully and said, “Okay… then Mianmian will sleep with mommy after she has grown up.”
Ye Qing smiled slightly and said to her, “Mianmian, good girl. Mommy will wait for Mianmian to grow up.”
“Okay! Then good night, mommy!” Little kiddo Chen Mian felt encouraged immediately, gave her mother a big hug, and bounced back to her own room on her stubby little legs.
Ye Qing waited till the little girl had returned to her own room before she shut the door.
Afterward, she laid back in bed and started binging her historical drama again.
Coincidentally, the actress that played the role of the female lead in the historical drama was the female lead of this book, Lin Xu.
Even more coincidentally, Ye Qing got to meet this female lead the very next night at the banquet.
