called Xu Ronghua repeatedly along the way, but Xu Ronghua hung up every time, clearly unwilling to answer.She anxiously urged the driver to speed up, but there were too many cars on the road. She was...During the day, Lin Jinran, who had nothing to do, simply picked up his paintbrush and created the inspiration in his mind. Although it couldn't be realized, doing something kept time from passing so slowly. 。Last night, the owl was clinging to her. 。After tossing and turning almost all night, Lin Jinran slept until noon before waking up exhausted and feeling weak all over. 。For a whole day, Lin Jinran didn't leave her room. It was also from that day on that the Night Owl didn't come back to eat dinner with her in the evening. 。In the empty room, she was all alone. The cold bed offered no warmth of embrace. 。

Habit is a terrible thing. Once you're used to another person, even if you don't love them, you tacitly accept their presence. 。

One day, that person just vanished without a word. It always felt like something was missing. 。After the first night without the owl, then the second, third, fourth, half a month had passed and the owl hadn't returned. 。In the villa lived she, along with a cook who prepared her meals, a maid who cleaned, and a butler and bodyguard. There was no one else there. 。She leaned against the window, her gaze fixed on the birds soaring freely in the distance. Like she had been abandoned there, Lin Jinyan's heart flew away with the birds. 。Every day, as the cycle repeated, her written work had piled up into a thick stack. Two months had passed in a flash. 。It had been a month since she had last seen Ye Xiao, and she didn't even have a single piece of news about him. 。Even if she asked the butler, he wouldn't know anything and refused to answer her. He only told her that everything would be revealed when Ye Xiao returned, and she could ask him personally then. 。

It's fine, whether she comes back or not doesn't matter to me. That's it. 。

Lin Jinran continued to eat, sleep, and draw her thoughts as usual. The only difference was that she couldn't leave this place. She kept herself busy with her schedule. 。In the dead of night, she had already fallen asleep when she suddenly felt the covers being pulled back and then her body was tightly embraced. 。

He opened his eyes in terror, raising his hand to struggle. Ye Xiao's low and hoarse voice echoed through the darkness, "It's me" 。"

The two simple words, miraculously stopped Lin Jinran's movements. He struggled to look at the man in front of him." 。The moonlight was cool, and through the haze, she could see the outline of the night owl. His youthful stubble made him look unusually weary. 。"You, um" 。Before she could even utter her question, the man sealed her lips with his. 。

Her struggling hands were clenched by the man, not allowing her to move. His lips, rough with a hint of stubble, landed on hers, quickly tinged with the scent of a night owl. Her breath hitched, unable to speak. 。They were too familiar with each other, their bond was deep. Ye Xiao cherished her deeply, listening to her soft whimpers, a mix of crying and pleasure, feeling an unparalleled sense of satisfaction. 。

After a night of indulgence, it continued until dawn. Ye Xiao only then embraced the exhausted Lin Jin-ran, who could no longer bear it, and contentedly sank into sleep. 。

Lin Jin, exhausted as always, once again failed to regulate his biological clock. He didn't open his eyes until the afternoon. The setting sun's rays shone through the transparent glass window, casting a warm and lazy glow on the wall. 。She was stunned for a moment before she reacted, propped up her weary body, the silk sheets slipped down, leaving countless marks on her fair skin. 。His cheeks flushed, Lin Jinran pulled the blanket up higher, shielding her body. She looked around the room but didn't see Ye Xiao's figure. 。

He left againndly, a line of clear tears slowly flowing down her cheek. 。Lin Jinran's white and clean fingers gently wiped away her tears, then rubbed her cheek with a chuckle, choking back a sob. "Mom, today is a...
