The night shrouded the old house, and the dim street lights emitted a faint light in silence.

Zhou Yanchen stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, tightly holding the bottle of mineral water he had just taken out of the refrigerator, his eyes fixed on the white Maserati parked not far away.

Jiang Yubai leaned slightly towards Shen Qingli.

Zhou Yanchen's attention was instantly attracted, and at that moment, the world seemed to stop.

From your perspective, Jiang Yubai's movements looked like he was kissing Shen Qingli affectionately.

In an instant, Zhou Yanchen felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and the heavy mineral water bottle could not bear the weight and exploded with a bang.

The cool liquid wet my face and clothes, but I didn't notice it.

He subconsciously took a step forward, but at this moment, Shen Qingli had already gotten out of the car.

She straightened her clothes, watched Jiang Yubai's car slowly drive away, then turned and walked towards the door of the old house.

Shen Qingli took out the phone from his pocket and was about to send a message to Zhou Yanchen when suddenly a deep voice rang out in the silent night: "Are you willing to come back?"

Zhou Yanchen suddenly spoke up, and Shen Qingli was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the machine flew out of his body.

She turned her head and saw Zhou Yanchen standing not far from her, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.

She glared at Zhou Yanchen and said unhappily, "Are you sick? Why are you standing there at night and scaring people?"

After saying that, he bent down to pick up the phone on the table. When he picked it up, he saw that the screen of the phone had been broken into a spider web shape.

Zhou Yanchen also saw this scene, but at this moment his heart was stirred up by the scene just now. Anger, jealousy, and heartache were intertwined together, as if there was a raging fire burning, almost swallowing him up.

"I've been standing here for a long time, but you didn't see me." Her voice was cold.

Shen Qingli was too lazy to argue with him, so he went straight to the point and said, "Where are the children? Let them out, I'll take them back."

Zhou Yanchen looked at Shen Qingli and moved his lips. He really wanted to ask, "Are you and Jiang Yubai together?" But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. He just felt his heart aching.

She turned her head away, trying to suppress her emotions, "The children are upstairs, go call them yourself."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the old house.

Shen Qingli chuckled softly and muttered, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

She followed Zhou Yanchen and came to the corridor on the second floor.

Looking at Zhou Yanchen's back, Shen Qingli spoke again: "Where are the children?"

Before she finished her words, Zhou Yanchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, dragging her towards the guest bedroom.

Before Shen Qingli could react, Zhou Yanchen pulled her into the next room, and then the back door was slammed shut and locked.

"Zhou Yanchen, what are you crazy about?" Shen Qingli said angrily, "If you keep going crazy like this, don't come to see the child."

After saying that, she turned around and opened the door.

Zhou Yanchen stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, trapping Shen Qingli between the door and himself.

놛's breathing was a little rapid, his chest was rising and falling violently, and his voice was trembling: "Shen Qingli, don't you know why I'm crazy?"

Shen Qingli turned around, looking at him with cold eyes: "What do I need to know?"

"Zhou Yanchen, in my opinion, you are just the father of the children now, that's all. Why should I care about why you are crazy?"

"I'm very busy and don't have that much time to waste on these meaningless things."

Zhou Yanchen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard what Shen Qingli said.

He stretched out his hand to hold Shen Qingli's chin, forcing her to look up at him, his eyes full of pain and unwillingness: "So you won't waste time with Jiang Yubai, right?"

Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yanchen like this, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in her heart. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she said "yes" for some reason.

When Zhou Yanchen heard this answer, he felt like his whole world had collapsed.

With red eyes, he looked at the woman in front of him, his voice almost choking with sobs: "Shen Qingli, why?"

The scene of Jiang Yubai kissing Shen Qingli just now appeared in 놛's mind. That scene was like a sharp knife, cutting 놛's heart again and again.

His eyes fell on Shen Qingli's lips, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did I kiss you just now?"

Shen Qingli frowned slightly when he heard this, wondering in his heart, what does this mean?

Suddenly, she remembered that when she got off the car just now, her seat belt was stuck and Jiang Yubai helped her fix it.

After she got off the car, Zhou Yanchen appeared. From that angle... did she think Jiang Yubai kissed her?

But what does this have to do with her?

She has nothing to do with Zhou Yanchen.

She thought silently in her heart.

When Zhou Yanchen saw Shen Qingli didn't say anything, the pain and anger in his heart reached its peak.

The next second, he could no longer control himself and lowered his head to bite her lips hard.

Shen Qingli subconsciously raised her foot to kick, but Zhou Yanchen seemed to have anticipated it and quickly tightened her legs, making Shen Qingli unable to move at all.

놛's kiss carried a sense of punishment, as if 놚 was venting all the pain and unwillingness in his heart.

Shen Qingli struggled desperately, and just when she was about to bite Zhou Yanchen, she suddenly felt a salty taste in her mouth.

She was stunned. Were those her tears?

Zhou Yanchen knew he was wrong. Over the past five years, he had regretted it countless times late at night. He regretted his stupidity and impulsiveness, and regretted pushing Shen Qingli away personally.

During these five years, every minute and every second was torture for me. I was almost going crazy.

But it only took a moment, Shen Qingli came to his senses and took a big bite.

Zhou Yanchen snorted softly, and suddenly, a fishy smell like rust filled his mouth, but he seemed unaware of it, and his eyes were still tightly holding Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli's arms were bound and she couldn't move. In order to avoid his kiss, she could only shake her head desperately.

Zhou Yanchen's eager and uncontrollable kiss failed to land on her lips, and finally landed on her slender neck. His hot breath sprayed on her skin, making Shen Qingli's body tremble.

Zhou Yanchen seemed unable to bear the pain in his heart any longer and buried his head deeply in Shen Qingli's shoulder.

After a while, Shen Qingli felt the clothes on her shoulders were soaked, and the warm and wet feeling penetrated through the material and reached deep into her heart.

Her heart was confused by Zhou Yanchen's sudden fragility, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged in her heart.

Reason told her that she should break free and be angry, but the attachment deep in her heart that was hard to give up made her unable to make up her mind.

She froze in place, didn't move, didn't say anything, and let Zhou Yanchen vent his anger on her shoulder.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yanchen slowly stood up, his eyes red and swollen, his voice hoarse like sandpaper:

"Xiao Li, I was wrong. I have been living a life worse than death for the past five years. Can you come back?"

"Let's stay together as a family of four forever, okay?"

Shen Qingli looked at the man in front of her with mixed feelings.

Come back?

Can she come back?

In this suffocating moment of silence, the sound of a child crying came from the corridor across the street.

The crying sound was like a heavy hammer, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the room.

Zhou Yanchen and Shen Qingli seemed to be awakened and immediately opened the door and rushed out.

I saw Shen Jinxi's small figure walking alone in the corridor, tears still on her little face. Under the dim light, she looked particularly pitiful.

When Shen Qingli saw this, heartache instantly occupied all his thoughts.

She ran forward, squatted down, and picked up Xiaobao. "Xiaobao, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Shen Jinxi sobbed, "Mom, I dreamed that Dad was gone."
