780 No Regrets (2)

When Li Meili returned to the nursery, she didn't hear any sound of crying from her daughter. Had Zhang Jiren managed to make Leyan calm down? As she pushed the door open, she spotted her husband seated on the couch with Leyan's head resting on his broad chest. 

Zhang Jiren lifted his head and gave her a smile before pressing his forefinger against his lips, telling her to keep her silence. The child was too exhausted and finally succumbed to sleep as soon as she was held by her stepfather. 

"How did you do it?" Li Meili whispered as she took a seat next to him, baffled as to how he managed to make Leyan calm down. She'd only stayed downstairs for half an hour and hadn't expected Zhang Jiren to be able to make her daughter stop from her incessant crying.
