Hua Manman wasn't very sleepy to begin with. With Li Ji about to leave on a long journey, her thoughts were a jumble, and she felt even less like sleeping.
Li Ji didn't want to sleep, either.
He picked up the little tiger doll and started to embroider by the candlelight.
He had to finish embroidering the character for "king" on the little tiger's forehead before he left.
That way, when the baby was born, the first thing they would see would be this little tiger.
Hua Manman propped her chin on her hands and watched him without blinking, her gaze tracing his features over and over.
Although Li Ji was a valiant and formidable warrior, blades on a battlefield have no eyes.
'What if something happens to him?'
Hua Manman couldn't help but murmur.
"You will come back, won't you?"
Without looking up, Li Ji replied, "Of course."
Hua Manman threatened, "If you don't come back, I'll take your child and remarry. I'll make our child call another man 'Father'."
