Chapter 1488: Sleepless Night

He and Miss Su Li have only met and chatted a few times. When did their relationship become close enough for him to be her sworn brother? He doesn’t like to form such connections with people.

Ning Yan: "No need."

Feng Huaijin rested one hand on the armrest and smiled, saying, "It’s fine, you can think about it more. No rush."

In the darkness, Su Li wished she could reach out and pinch his thigh. Her hand had just stretched out when Feng Huaijin caught it.

He smoothly drew Su Li into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "Pregnant women shouldn’t stay up late. Tonight’s unexpected situation was unavoidable. Be a good girl and sleep."

Su Li was indeed extremely sleepy. As soon as she leaned into his warm embrace, she felt like she’d found a soft pillow, chose a good posture, and was quickly overtaken by drowsiness, falling asleep in no time.

Once Su Li was asleep, no one in the car dared to speak and disturb her.

Ning Yan sat upright there, feeling a bit upset inside.

In this way, he couldn’t speak either, and it seemed as if he was tacitly agreeing to Mr. Huaijin’s earlier suggestion for him to consider becoming Miss Su Li’s sworn brother.

Ning Yan gently lifted his head to look at Feng Huaijin, who was sitting in the car holding Su Li, and he playfully raised an eyebrow, smiling at him.

Ning Yan was momentarily speechless, sitting there quietly, pretending he wasn’t even present.

Feng Huaijin embraced Su Li and watched the scenery outside the car window, a hint of determination gradually appearing in his eyes.

He and Su Li have also changed the ultimately fatal fate. The troublesome year is over, and the new year will be filled with vitality and hope.

Finally returning home, Su Li was carried back by Feng Huaijin, not responding to anything around her.

The bedroom was lit with a dim yellow light. Feng Huaijin placed her on the bed and was just about to go to the bathroom to freshen up when he paused, turning towards the bedroom door.

He gently opened the door, creating a crack through which light seeped in from outside. Feng Huaijin saw the visitor and smiled, greeting, "Uncle Mo Yu, hello."

"Is Su Li asleep?" Mo Yu asked without any hint of sleepiness.

Feng Huaijin nodded, "Yes, she is asleep. I know, Uncle Mo Yu, you want to talk to her, but please wait until tomorrow."

Mo Yu felt complicated inside, understood Feng Huaijin’s meaning, and turned back to the guest room.

This Seventh Young Master of the Feng Family still did it deliberately.

Although tonight was supposed to be joyous New Year’s Eve, it turned into the most grueling night in years.

Su Li had a particularly good and sweet sleep, seemingly making up for all the insomnia lately.

However, today is the first day of the new year, and Su Li presumed she had to go out with Feng Huaijin for visits, so she didn’t dare to sleep in. After waking up naturally, she washed up.

But when she went downstairs, she was startled.

In the reception hall, row after row of people sat on the sofas, with Mo Yu leading them, and the people around him also looked downcast and sullen.

Su Li cautiously descended the stairs, waving to greet them, "Hi, Uncle Mo Yu, why are you all up so early?"

Xu Xing let out a mocking laugh, "Even if you want to sleep, you can’t sleep well."

Su Li felt slightly embarrassed, guessing she was the one who had slept surprisingly well.

Su Li was about to sit on the sofa when she heard Mo Yu, in his moon-white long robe reminiscent of an Immortal, say, "Xiao Li, Uncle apologizes for his previous actions."

Su Li: "...???"

Huh?

Feng Huaijin set the bewildered Su Li down on the sofa, supporting himself on the armrest, and watched Uncle Mo Yu, who couldn’t hide the dark circles under his eyes, with interest.
