Chapter 377 - Everyone Gathered

As the investigation on the accident began, Li Qin Yao decided to spent her days at home. These days, she had not touched her phone and would allow Zhang Yu Han to look at the messages and answered the calls for her.

Afraid that she was going to be affected badly, Zhang Yu Han did not encourage her to go online. Everything Li Qin Yao knew about the accident was through her husband as she had agreed to let him filter the news and what people were saying about the accident.

Of course, Zhang Li Xue was the happiest. The little princess had noticed that these days, her mother would often accompany her to play.

However, Zhang Li Xue noticed that there was something wrong with her mother. Although her most beloved mother would often have a smile on her face, the baby could still notice her strange mood. Therefore, Zhang Li Xue would often put a smile on her face and laughed whenever her mother played with her to cheer her mother up. 

Even when her father would pick her up, Zhang Li Xue did not make much fuss. She spent a few minutes complaining that her father's body was too hard as compared to her mother before she would obediently stay put her head on his shoulder and let him coax her to sleep. Of course, she did not forget to smear her saliva on her father's shoulder, leaving her milky scent on him.

Zhang Yu Han had only managed to put his daughter to sleep when he felt arms around his waist. It took him a second to recognize the person behind him.

Anyway, there was only one person who would dare to give him a back hug and was at the height. It was his wife.

Zhang Yu Han pulled her right hand and kissed her at the back of her hand.

"Did you put Li Xue to sleep?" Li Qin Yao asked.

"Hmm, she just fell asleep."

"You should go to bed too," Zhang Yu Han said. He lifted her arms from his waist and turned around to look at her face. "Tomorrow, the investigation report would come out. You need to be on your best when we listen to the report. I don't want you to stress."

Li Qin Yao did not answer him and instead, placed her head on his ċhėst.

Seeing the way his wife was acting clingy to him, Zhang Yu Han let out a low laugh. "Or… do you want me to coax you to sleep too?"

A chuckle escaped her. Li Qin Yao lifted her face and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hubby, coax me to sleep."

Zhang Yu Han stared at her for a few seconds before he put his arms around her thɨġh to carry her up. 

Li Qin Yao let out a yelp before she covered her mouth with her hand. She glanced at the baby cot and heaved in relief upon seeing that her baby was still sleeping. "What are you doing?" she asked in a hushed voice

"Coaxing my big baby to sleep," Zhang Yu Han said as he patted her on her back. 

"Put me down," she slapped him lightly on his shoulder. "I'm very heavy."

"It's still alright. I can still carry you like this for a few minutes," Zhang Yu Han said. "Let me carry you back to the room, alright?"

"Zhang Yu Han…" Li Qin Yao called out his name as he walked out of the nursery.

"Hmm?"

"You smell like Li Xue," Li Qin Yao said. After placing her head on his shoulder, Li Qin Yao realized that her daughter had smeared her saliva on his shoulder and now, her husband had a baby milky scent.

Zhang Yu Han chuckled as he recalled her daughter's habit to smear her saliva on him. "Li Xue loved to chew on my shoulder. Maybe she has started teething."

As they reached their bedroom, Zhang Yu Han put his wife down and tucked her to bed. His hands patted on her body in his attempt to coax her to sleep.

"Zhang Yu Han…"

"Hmm?" he paused to kiss her forehead. 

Li Qin Yao stared at the man in the dark and her heart skipped a beat. There were too many things that she wanted to say to him, but at this moment, Li Qin Yao found out that there was no word that she can use to convey her thankfulness and feelings for him. She snuggled into his arms and hugged him tightly on his waist. "I love you."

A sigh escaped him. Zhang Yu Han leaned to kiss her on the lips and continued to coax her to sleep.

Zhang Yu Han was no longer by her side when she woke up. Li Qin Yao looked up the window and saw that the sun has risen. She looked at her phone on the side table and froze. For a second, Li Qin Yao had this urge to surf the internet for any news and report on the accident. However, just before she reached her phone, Li Qin Yao closed her mind and get off the bed to head over the bathroom.

After freshening up and changing her clothes, Li Qin Yao went over to her daughter's room. However, the little girl was no longer sleeping in her cot.

Li Qin Yao headed downstairs to find her husband and paused as she was half the stairs. A puzzled look appeared on her face when she heard voices coming from the garden. She walked stealthily to the door and stopped upon seeing a group of people having a meal in the garden.

"Yao Yao, you're here!"

Han Yue Xiu was the first to notice her presence. As she called out her friend's name, everyone turned around to look at the person standing beside the door with her eyes wide. 

"Why are you guys here?" Li Qin Yao asked. As she looked at everyone in the garden, Li Qin Yao felt her eyes and nose started to sting.

Her mother was carrying her daughter, her paternal grandfather, Li Ren Xin, and everyone from Zhang's family was present. At the side, Han Yue Xiu sat with Song Yi and President Mo Cheng Feng, from MH Group, sat silently with the others.

"They heard that the investigation report will be out today." 

A familiar deep voice came behind her. Li Qin Yao turned around and watched as her husband carrying a tray of drink for everyone. He placed the tray on the table and walked over to his wife. 

"Everyone gathered today to offer you their support," Zhang Yu Han spoke. "Yao Yao, whatever happened after this, we will be here with you."
