He Lingchuan looked surprised and puzzled, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Zhou Mingyan: "What do you want?"

Regardless of whether Zhou Mingyan has that much money now, the fact that he's willing to take out 100 million to help me is enough to show that the 100 million he wants is much more than that.

"I want you to leave Xixi."

Zhou Mingyan stated his thoughts frankly and without any concealment.

He Lingchuan couldn't help but chuckle, and he loosened his shoulders: "You're willing to spend a hundred million just for Shen Yanxi?"

"I don't need money or status, I just want Xixi."

When he mentioned Xixi, Zhou Mingyan deliberately showed an expectant look in his eyes: "I just want you to give her back to me."

"Then you shouldn't be looking for me, you should be looking for Shen Yanxi."

He Lingchuan was getting impatient. Even if he really wanted to do something with Shen Yanxi, it had nothing to do with him.

As for this card...

He Lingchuan reached out, about to take it, when he heard Shen Yanxi's sharp voice from behind him: "You'd rather have money than me and the child?"

Shen Yanxi looked at He Lingchuan with a lack of confidence. She hadn't expected He Lingchuan to give up on them so quickly.

Hearing the familiar voice, He Lingchuan turned around abruptly, never expecting to run into Shen Yanxi: "Weren't you in the restaurant?"

"I noticed you hadn't come back yet, so I thought I'd come out and check."

Shen Yanxi stared intently at He Lingchuan, her eyes full of accusation: "If I hadn't come, would you have taken the money?"

She always had an air of superiority. He Lingchuan looked at the card in his hand and slowly said, "I really didn't have this plan before, but I've changed my mind now. One hundred million, that's one hundred million, no small amount."

Shen Yanxi looked at He Lingchuan with disappointment. She was about to question him when Zhou Mingyan grabbed her wrist: "Xixi, I told you long ago that He Lingchuan is a greedy and treacherous guy. We should ignore him."

He Lingchuan snorted coldly, without denying it.

After the meal, Shen Yanxi offered to pay the bill, and He Lingchuan helped the two children get dressed, then picked them up and prepared to leave.

He had just stood up when Zhou Mingyan stopped him: "Xixi just told me that since you intend to sever ties with them, then from today onwards, I will take care of the children."

He Lingchuan turned to the side, dodging Zhou Mingyan's attack: "Don't even think about it. Even if Shen Yanxi and I are separated now, I will never hand the child over to you."

Nan Chen and Bei Chen had suffered a lot under his care, and regardless of whether Zhou Mingyan did it on purpose or not, he was not comfortable entrusting the two children to him again.

On the way back, Shen Yanxi kept subtly probing the two children's opinions of Zhou Mingyan, and the two children were very straightforward in their responses.

Aside from He Lingchuan, they only wanted to be with Shen Yanxi.

Shen Yanxi asked several times, but the result was the same, so she had no choice but to compromise in the end.

He Lingchuan didn't say a word from beginning to end.

After finally getting the child to sleep, He Lingchuan was about to go to bed when he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Who is it?

He Lingchuan's voice sounded somewhat rough. He waited for a long time without receiving a reply. Just as he lay down, the knocking started again.

His first thought was Zhou Mingyan. He Lingchuan got dressed and went to open the door with an impatient look on his face.

He kept muttering, "I can't entrust the child to..."

He Lingchuan hesitated, staring blankly at the woman standing in front of him in her pajamas.

A few minutes later, he came to his senses: "What are you doing standing here so late?"

Shen Yanxi raised her head, her eyes shining brightly: "I have something to tell you."

"tomorrow……"

I'm going to say it tonight.

Shen Yanxi grabbed He Lingchuan's hand and stared straight into his eyes, as if she wouldn't give up until he let her in.

He Lingchuan had no choice but to sigh and turn to let Shen Yanxi in.

She sat down on He Lingchuan's bed as if they had never been divorced.

He Lingchuan stood at the door, which was open, as if afraid of being misunderstood: "Speak plainly, I need to rest."

He spoke as if to a stranger. Shen Yanxi felt a moment of disappointment, but she quickly composed herself and said seriously, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think it would be better for us to remarry. It would be better for the child too."

After she finished speaking, a silence fell between them.

He Lingchuan tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion: "What if I don't agree?"

"For the sake of the child, you must agree."

Shen Yanxi looked at He Lingchuan domineeringly, not giving him a chance to refuse.

"Find some time, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau..."

With a thud, He Lingchuan's fist slammed down on the cabinet next to him.

His eyes were red-rimmed, his lips trembled, and he questioned Shen Yanxi, word by word: "What do you take me for? You think you can just break up with me whenever you want, or stay together whenever you want?"

He Lingchuan's face was extremely ugly, and Shen Yanxi was also frightened by his appearance. She subconsciously retorted, "He Lingchuan, why are you throwing a tantrum at me? Do you think I want to remarry you for your sake? Let me tell you, I did all this for the child. If it weren't for wanting to give the child a complete childhood, I wouldn't bother with you."

She stood up and looked seriously into He Lingchuan's eyes: "Don't think I'm begging you. I'm just giving you a chance to get back together with me."

When has Shen Yanxi ever been so humble? She can remarry whenever she wants; when has she ever needed to consider He Lingchuan's schedule?

He Lingchuan frowned as he looked at the person in front of him, recalling what Shen Yanxi had just said, and gave a self-deprecating smile: "You are still the same as before, arrogant and conceited."

He Lingchuan raised his head, his eyes full of disdain: "Let me tell you, not only will I not remarry, but I will also not stay here any longer."

He stepped aside to make room for Shen Yanxi, his tone sharp: "I'm moving out tomorrow. As for the child..."

He thought for a long time and said very firmly, "Come to my place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and come to your place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I never want to see you again."

Shen Yanxi paused in her steps, staring wide-eyed at He Lingchuan, her lips twitching as if she had suffered a huge blow: "You said it yourself, don't regret it."

"When have I ever regretted anything? It's you who's..."

He Lingchuan looked Shen Yanxi up and down: "You've brought up remarriage with me once or twice. You don't regret divorcing me and want to use the child as an excuse to get back together with me, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxi stammered, lowered her head, and looked somewhat guilty.

Before she could speak, He Lingchuan said slowly, "If that's really what you're thinking, I advise you to give up on that idea. Even if I marry you, I will never be with you."
