“Are you not welcoming me inside, or is it not convenient right now?” Shao He asked, puzzled at the person blocking the doorway.
Ah Mo came to his senses and immediately stepped aside, “Doctor Shao, please come in.”
As the two of them followed the path to the side room, Ah Mo rambled on, “Ever since the master was confined, he has been terribly bored, idling away his days. Recently, he suddenly started to become irritable. Could you, Doctor Shao, come over more often with the child to keep the master company?”
Shao He hesitated but also felt that Pei Huaian, being alone and confined here, must be terribly bored and at a loss.
Seeing that she did not respond, Ah Mo thought she was displeased and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean anything else. I simply hoped that the master could have someone to talk to.”
“I understand.”
In the few moments it took to exchange these words, they had reached the door to the room. As it happened, the door opened, the person inside paused for a moment, closed it, opened it again to make sure they were still there, and then laughed.
“Why have you come so late?”
Upon seeing Pei Huaian, Xiao Linzhang in Shao He’s arms flailed his little arms, lunging toward him with unclear pronunciation, “Daddy, daddy, hug, hug.”
Pei Huaian happily reached out to take him, playing the role of a good father.
Seeing how close the child was with his attendant, Shao He’s suspicion grew deeper.
Especially seeing how the two resembled each other more and more,
she became more convinced of her own speculation, could he be the child’s biological father?
“Xiao Linzhang, call him daddy.”
Pei Huaian patiently instructed the child.
“Daddy, daddy,” Xiao Linzhang learned quickly, soon calling out for daddy, which made Pei Huaian unable to help but chuckle.
“Sit down first and have some tea. There’s no food. Do you want me to call the kitchen to prepare something to eat?” Pei Huaian said to his unexpected guests, somewhat at a loss.
Even though he had been thinking about her all the time, now that Shao He was truly standing in front of him, he again didn’t quite know what to do.
“No need, we’ve already eaten,” Shao He said. She noticed his uneasy demeanor and wondered if she’d come too unexpectedly.
Pei Huaian glanced at her and their child, then saw Shao He’s gaze falling on the Go board on the table.
“Does Lady Shao like to play Go?”
Hearing this, Shao He turned to glance at him and gave a light hum in response.

“Since you like playing Go, would you like to have a match with me?”
“I’m not very good at it,” Shao He modestly replied.
“No matter, it’s just for leisure.”
With that, the child was handed over to the maidservant to take care of.
Conversing idly as they played, the match between them soon turned intense, with the situation on the Go board changing rapidly.
Clack! Shao He’s piece landed on the board, and she watched her black stones with a look of defeat.
“I concede,” Pei Huaian said with a smile as he tidied up the board and picked up a cup of tea from the table, sipping leisurely, appearing as if the victory did not pertain to him.
Shao He lowered her head to rub her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy. What was happening?
Just as she was about to stand up, the room started spinning. Pei Huaian noticed her discomfort and quickly reached out to steady her.
“Are you alright?” Pei Huaian asked urgently.
Shao He shook her head, “Just a bit of a headache.”
“Should I find a doctor to have a look at you?” Pei Huaian helped her to sit down and handed her a cup of tea.
Shao He took the tea cup from his hand and chuckled, “Have you forgotten? I am a doctor. There really is nothing wrong. I just need to rest for a while.”
Pei Huaian sat beside her with concern, occasionally glancing at her.
After a period of time, Shao He’s headache finally eased.
When she was about to leave, the nanny mentioned that Xiao Linzhang, worn out from playing, had already fallen asleep.
“This… Since that incident last time, the child has been sleeping poorly, easily disturbed by any movement.”
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Pei Huaian took the opportunity to say, “Why don’t the two of you stay over for the night?”
Shao He looked hesitant, “I’m not sure if this would be an inconvenience for the Fifth Prince.”
“What inconvenience? It’s just two more people resting, that’s all.” Pei Huaian couldn’t wish for more than to have her stay longer. How could he let the chance slip and drive them away?
This was an opportunity not to be missed. She would, of course, seize it well.
“Then I’ll trouble the Fifth Prince.”
Shao He said this and took a glance at the room, where Xiao Linzhang lay sprawling on the bed, sleeping soundly.
“Why don’t you and the child rest here, and I’ll go to the guest room,” Shao He suggested.
“How can I let you stay in the guest room?” Pei Huaian was not quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Shao He didn’t mind and said, “The child should not be moved easily, and this is your room. It’s not convenient for me to stay, so I can only trouble the Fifth Prince to look after Xiao Linzhang for tonight.”
Pei Huaian realized he hadn’t made thorough preparations and could only agree to her suggestion reluctantly.
“Alright, I’ll have the maidservants clean up the room right away for you to move in.”
He immediately instructed the maidservants of the house to tidy up the guest room and change the bedding.
Shao He entered the room and saw everything freshly arranged, and couldn’t help acknowledging Pei Huaian’s thoughtfulness despite her unmoved heart.
She opened the window, propped herself on the windowsill, and gazed out at the pitch-black moonlit sky.
In fact, she had intentionally dragged out the evening, waiting for Xiao Linzhang to fall asleep, then used this as an excuse to stay over.
