Youyou glanced at Hua Jin, and then shifted his eyes onto Gong Jie, muttering under his breath. What a pair of jokers! Especially when he saw Hua Jin’s livid and forbearing expression, his heart ached for a few seconds.
At night, Natalia, like before, demanded to sleep with Gong Jie. Initially, Gong Jie had wanted Hua Jin to put Natalia to bed, but Natalia was particular about beds and people. She only wanted Gong Jie and not Hua Jin.
Left with no choice, the actor made his way to Gong Jie’s room and knocked on the door.
Gong Jie happened to be awake. He opened the door and was surprised to see it was the actor. “What’s the matter?”
“Natalia misses you.” Hua Jin sighed and said helplessly, “The child doesn’t really want me. She only wants you. And… she can’t get to sleep without you.”!!
Gong Jie was stunned for a long moment. He said, sounding rather exasperated, “If you can’t handle her, what are you going to do after I’m gone?”
“One step at a time. There’s nothing I can do.”
“…”
Gong Jie laughed. He walked over to Hua Jin’s room. The wall lamp was on. Natalia sat up in bed as soon as she heard Gong Jie’s footsteps. When she saw him, her eyes crinkled and she smiled. “Daddy!”
She opened her outstretched arms to the man. Gong Jie walked slowly towards the bed and sat down sideways, but he did not immediately return her embrace. Surprised, Natalya tilted her head and stared at him in confusion. She wondered why he didn’t respond at all.
Gong Jie asked her grimly, “Why aren’t you asleep?”
It was the first time the girl had seen Gong Jie looking this serious, and for a moment she felt strangely guilty.
She actually did try going to sleep. However, the bed was too unfamiliar. Besides, she was not used to Hua Jin. After all, it was the first time they had met. She tossed and turned in bed and could not fall asleep.
Aggrieved, Natalya stammered, “I… I couldn’t fall asleep…”
“Not used to the bed?”
“Uh huh!” Natalia nodded vehemently. “I did try to go to sleep, but the mattress is too soft and I’m not used to it.”
The mattress beneath him was the best zero-pressure mattress in the market. Not that it was soft, but at least it was more comfortable to sleep on than the hard metal beds in hospitals.
Natalia had been sleeping on a metal frame bed, so it was difficult for her to adapt to such a soft mattress that molded to her body.
“Close your eyes. Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’ll be asleep in a minute, eh?” Gong Jie coaxed her gently.
Natalia bit her lip with a frown and nodded. But as she lay down and Gong Jie was just tucking her in, he suddenly heard a sob. Alarmed, he immediately leaned over. The sobbing was now more pronounced.
Hua Jin heard it too, and asked, “Is she crying?”
Gong Jie frowned. The girl couldn’t be that fragile, could she?
The actor frowned, his head throbbing. “It’s the first time she’s set foot in such a strange country. Perhaps she hasn’t recovered from the jet lag. Besides, she’s surrounded by strangers and sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. Naturally, she feels unfamiliar and afraid. Why don’t you stay with her tonight? I’ll sleep in your room.” With that, Hua Jin tried to find an excuse to slip away.
Gong Jie barked, “Don’t you dare leave!”
The actor halted like someone slamming hard on the car brakes. His eyelids twitched violently. He had a bad feeling that he’d not be able to escape the Demon King tonight!
