The sun was already out when Li Meili was moved from the delivery room to a private room where she could recover and spend some time with her new baby and family. As exhaustion finally caught up with her, she fell asleep and wasn't aware when they moved her to the new room.
Once Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu were assured that Li Meili and her daughter were well, they decided to leave the hospital to return to their waiting children back at home. While Li Meili slept, Zhang Jiren fed his stepdaughter and placed her back into the cot once she had fallen asleep like her mother.
Little Leyan, who seemed to know that he was watching her, wiggled her arms and broke into a slight smile, warming Zhang Jiren's heart. He was delighted that his stepdaughter seemed to like him; a smile stretched his lips which eventually faltered and turned into a bitter one.
