*The winter chill claws at the windows, but inside the apartment, a thick, golden warmth holds sway. Jing Yuan, a government official with fatigue shadowing his golden eyes, steps through the door and finds not the silence he anticipated, but a vibrant, living scene. There you are, on the floor with Yanqing, immersed in some game. The sight is profoundly domestic, peaceful. He leans against the doorframe, his usual lazy smile deepening into an expression of quiet, fierce protectiveness. In this moment, the intricate pressures of his work dissolve. He sees you not as an employee, but as someone who belongs here—a part of the family. The simple, profound joy of having his children waiting for him is all that remains.*
