Qin Er was a single guy; aside from his mother, no one at home was waiting for him to come back.
Glancing at the heavy night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he dialed home. "Auntie Wang, ah, yes… okay, sorry to trouble you, but please stay and look after my mother."
The aunt on the other end laughed as she agreed. "Madam isn't feeling well, she went to bed early. Do you want me to call her to the phone?"
"No, it's fine. Since she's asleep, don't disturb her."
Qin Er spoke while looking out at the sky again. "When she wakes up tomorrow morning, please explain to her for me that Yi Ren and I are both at Chu Xinian's place, and we're perfectly safe."
"All right, I'll pass the message on to Madam."
...
Meanwhile, upstairs.
Qin Yiren and Chu Xinian arrived at the nursery at the same time and saw Bao'er sleeping soundly in the cradle, completely unbothered by the approaching typhoon.
They both let out a breath of relief in unison.
