Fu Ting was deeply puzzled by Xiao Chen’s suspicious behavior and decided to observe him closely.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen inwardly activated the "Devil’s Dream Pearl" with a sly smile,he began employing his top-acting skills to perfection.
From Fu Ting’s perspective, Xiao Chen appeared to be sleeping for an extended period, despite having just gone to bed.
This left Fu Ting stunned,she decided to wait for Xiao Chen to reveal his true intentions.
However, much to her disappointment, Xiao Chen was genuinely ’asleep’.
An hour passed, then two, and Fu Ting began to doubt whether Xiao Chen was truly sleeping.
Despite her growing impatience, she remained determined to uncover Xiao Chen’s true colors.
Four hours later, Fu Ting’s mind was exhausted from overthinking.
She couldn’t understand why Xiao Chen would seal off all entrances before going to sleep, especially considering they were in the Silver Sword City Lord Mansion, where safety wasn’t a concern.
Despite her doubts, Fu Ting couldn’t shake the feeling that Xiao Chen’s "extremely serious" eyes held some hidden meaning.
While pondering, Fu Ting thought of a shocking possibility that Xiao Chen might have been aware of her presence despite her attempts to conceal herself in the void.
However, before she could fully explore this notion, Fu Ting noticed movement from Xiao Chen.
To her surprise, Xiao Chen appeared to be shaking in his "sleep," as if plagued by a nightmare.
This revelation left Fu Ting baffled, especially considering Xiao Chen’s recent enlightenment.
"How could someone who just achieved enlightenment experience nightmares?" she wondered inwardly.
"And can one who has attained redemption suffer from nightmares?"
As Fu Ting attempted to withdraw from Xiao Chen, unable to bear the sight of his alluring face showing a pained expression.
However,Xiao Chen seized the opportunity as he knew it might not come again.
With determination, he firmly pressed her hand against his forehead and activated the "Flame Harmony Mode," causing his hair to turn white and his eyes radiant with golden light.
"Mom, are you going to leave me alone again?" he uttered, his voice tinged with a desperate plea.
Hearing these words, Fu Ting realized she couldn’t simply escape without a trace. She intended to bring Xiao Chen back to his senses.
But as Fu ting turned away, the words she intended to say remained stuck in her throat as she witnessed a scene that triggered her ’maternal love’ to the fullest.
With Xiao Chen’s hands firmly pressing hers against his forehead, his once black hair had inexplicably turned a pallid white, contrasting starkly against his radiant golden eye.
The sight of his tear-dried cheeks, coupled with his pleading gaze, caused a stirring within Fu Ting’s heart.
Before, Xiao Chen’s peerless appearance and meticulous behavior had garnered Fu Ting’s appreciation and curiosity at most.
But now, seeing him in the state of a pitiful child, her heart melted.Moreover, she realized that Xiao Chen was still in a dreamlike or half-asleep state.
Understanding that she couldn’t leave him alone in this state, Fu Ting took a deep breath, setting aside her thoughts as she resolved to calm Xiao Chen.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Xiao Chen couldn’t contain his excitement.
Although he considered himself adept at acting, he had to admit that pretending to be a child even made his shameless face blush.
As Xiao Chen and Fu Ting shared a moment resembling that of a mother and child, in another realm within the Fu family domain, a luxurious room housed a young man with a handsome face lying motionless on the bed, his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the young man’s expression mirrored that of Ye Fan when he experienced his dream "Romantic Chase of Green."
Observing this, the senior servant wore a look of disdain, as if this behavior was nothing new from the young man.
"Fu Zhang, fetch the family doctor; this waste is at it again," the servant commanded his subordinate with contempt.
