Chapter 1142_1

Shangguan Xuanyi didn't return to the mansion until midnight.

He tread lightly into the bedroom, seeing Xiao'er sleeping on the outer side of the grand bed with a space reserved for him. On the inner side of the bed were their four children.

Warm emotions flooded his heart as the exhaustion and anger he had been carrying miraculously vanished.

Shangguan Xuanyi entered the bathroom without making a sound, cleansed himself thoroughly in the bathtub before returning to the bed.

No sooner had he lay down, the drowsy Xiao'er immediately sensed his presence. As she inhaled the familiar refreshing scent from him, she instinctively rolled towards him and comfortably fell back into deep sleep.

Shangguan Xuanyi wondered at her with a smile, cradled her small hand resting on him in his, and soon fell asleep with his eyes closed.

No matter how chaotic it was outside, as long as she and the children were safely by his side, he could sleep peacefully.
