Ye Yuwei looked at Yuan Mo who had just run out of the room. She was starting to understand why Ye Xicheng was always guarded around Yuan Mo; she started to feel a little threatened by his presence.

When Yuan Mo reached the door, the room was silent. He entered the room quietly and saw their sleeping faces, then slowly walked out. He did not want to disturb their sleep.

Ye Yuwei saw Yuan Mo walking out of the room as she was bringing the herbal concoction over. She was impressed by his manners and was becoming quite fond of him.

“Why did you come out?” Ye Yuwei asked him.

“Uncle Gu and the rest are sleeping,” Yuan Mo responded and quickly moved aside so Ye Yuwei could enter the room.

“It’s alright, it’s almost time for sister to wake up and eat her medicine. You can come in and wait for a while,” Ye Yuwei suggested with a smile. She put the medicine on the table and approached the bedside to check on the father and children who were sleeping soundly.

Ye Yuwei nudged Xixi slightly and Gu Juexi woke up immediately. When he realized it was Ye Yuwei, he gingerly sat on the floor. He massaged his forehead and asked, “What time is it?”

“It is almost six in the morning. Get up and take the medicine.” Ye Yuwei carried Xixi and patted her back gently to wake her up.

Gu Juexi sat on the floor for a while, dazed. He smelled the Chinese herbs and his headache immediately worsened. His daughter wasn’t the only one who needed to take medicine, it seemed that there was a portion for him as well.

Meanwhile, Ye Xicheng was stretching, slowly waking up. Gu Juexi picked up his son’s shorts and tossed it at him.

Ye Yuwei was speechless. ‘Can’t you help your son put it on?’

Xixi started crying the second she woke up. Gu Juexi stood up slowly, took Xixi from Ye Yuwei and said, “You can bring the medicine here.”

“I don’t want to eat it. I don’t want to eat it.” Xixi kept kicking out, bawling on Gu Juexi’s shoulder. Ye Xicheng climbed out from under the blanket after he had put on his shorts. His facial expression changed when he saw Yuan Mo who was standing nearby. ‘Why is he here?’

This time, Yuan Mo had brought a doll for Xixi. He heard that Yuan Mo had purposely called his mother who was staying in the big city and asked her to mail him a doll.

Both of Yuan Mo’s parents were working in another state so he had lived with his grandfather since he was very young.

Gu Juexi sat down carefully, Xixi sobbing in his arms. She hid her face against his shoulder and refused to look at the bitter black herbal concoction.

Yuan Mo purposely stood behind Gu Juexi’s back and showed her the doll he had brought.

“Xixi wants.” Xixi immediately reached out to grab it. Her brother forgot to pack her toys when they came to this place and her mother had not gone out to buy her a new one.

Ye Xicheng walked past Yuan Mo and grunted. His gaze fell on the doll and he looked unimpressed.

‘Sister, you eat this medicine first, then it is yours,” Yuan Mo said firmly, waving the doll in his hand persuasively.

Xixi moved her little head but did not look up. She kept crying in refusal.

Gu Juexi took the medicine bowl from Ye Yuwei. Looking at the black medicine, he summoned his courage and gulped it down in one shot like a warrior. Wincing, he put the bowl on the table.

“Xixi, Daddy has finished mine. Now it’s your turn,” Gu Juexi told the little girl and put her on his lap. He took her little medicine bowl.

“No, no. I don’t want to. It’s bitter.” Xixi tried to wriggle out of Gu Juexi’s embrace. Gu Juexi could not handle her with one hand so he held her with both hands.

A new battle had just begun.
