Chapter 712: What He Always Longs for is Her Scent
Xiaoyao's question went unanswered by Feng Yexuan.
In the time that followed, he simply held her, letting her sit quietly on his lap as he resumed reviewing official documents.
The mountainous pile of documents always needed attention.
But he did not continue to have Xiaoyao share his worries.
The little girl in his arms began to feel drowsy, and before long, she started yawning continuously.
Then, after an indeterminate amount of time, she suddenly tilted her head and, leaning ever more, ended up resting it on his arm.
She fell asleep.
Feng Yexuan carefully adjusted her position so her delicate little head lay cushioned on his left forearm.
With one hand now free, he continued to go through the official papers.
Every so often, he would look down at her.
Seeing her sleep so soundly, a slight sense of pleasure would emerge amidst the generally solemn expression on his face.
His Lili had finally returned.
