Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Youyou Villa.

Serenity emerged from the children's room to find her husband waiting for her at

the door, holding their daughter.

"Baby, are you asleep?"

Zacharyasked softly, handing their daughter to Serenity.

"Beibei loves to follow you around at night."

Beibei is usually sensible, well-behaved, and adorable, but once she cries, she's hard to coax and insists on following her mother. Especially at night, she clings to Serenity like a piece of taffy. Even the old lady can't take care of her at this time. The old lady says that a child is a child of her own, and usually Beibei stays at the villa, cared for by the old lady and other elders.

But the little girl still clings to her mother the most.

Serenity held her daughter in her arms and gently pinched her face.

"It's already nine o'clock, and you're not asleep yet? Your brother's already asleep."

Zacharyclosed the door to the children's room for his son.
