"No, the contract is real." Afraid that Yan Mo wouldn't believe him, Si Ze added, "You can ask a lawyer to authenticate it."

Seeing Si Ze's serious expression, Yan Mo felt relieved, as long as he was not lying to her.

"No need for an appraisal, I trust you." After a pause, he turned his head, no longer looking at Si Ze, but gazing at the sea in front of him: "Sister Xiao Lin told me that you are not husband and wife, and An An is not your child."

"Yeah." Yan Mo knew that Si Ze was not surprised.

Xiao Lin must have said something to her just now, which is why Yan Mo came down, otherwise how would she know that he liked her.

After a moment of silence, Si Ze asked, "Do you want to listen?"

"Is it okay?" Yan Mo was unsure.

The reason she didn't ask was that she could vaguely feel that it was a sad story.

Anyone can raise a child for someone else and take care of his family, but Si Ze did it. He must have received a favor from An An's father that he could never repay.

She doesn't want to expose other people's scars.

Si Ze turned his head and looked at Yan Mo who was sitting next to him:

"Nothing is impossible. As long as you want to know, I can tell you about my affairs." After a pause, he added: "Anything."

Without waiting for her to answer, Si Ze turned back and looked at the sparkling sea. A layer of sadness filled his eyes as he spoke of the past years:

"An An's father is An Ping. He's my captain and he brought me up. During training, he's a very strict and ruthless person, but privately he's very caring towards us new recruits. Every time we go on a mission, he's always at the forefront..."

“…”

An hour later.

After listening to the story of Si Ze and An An’s father, Yan Mo’s eyes were filled with sadness.

Only then did she understand why Si Ze loved An An so much. It was because An An's father's life was exchanged for Si Ze's life.

"Yan Mo, do you know? Every time I think of the captain blocking the fatal blow for me, my heart bleeds. How I wish he hadn't blocked that blow for me, An An wouldn't lose his father, and Xiao Lin wouldn't suffer from depression because of this." Si Ze's voice trembled slightly, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was in deep self-blame.

She felt very distressed to see Si Ze like this.

Yan Mo is not good at expressing himself, so all she can do is hold his hand and stay with him quietly.

Only after feeling the warmth from his hand did Si Ze slowly recover.

Si Ze pulled out the hand that Yan Mo was holding, and wrapped Yan Mo's small hand in his, looking at Yan Mo with hope in his eyes:

"silently"

Yan Mo: "Yeah."

"An An is my lifelong responsibility. Come take care of them with me, okay?"

Yan Mo did not answer.

"I know this may not be fair to you, but I can't be ungrateful. The captain saved my life, and they are people I can't let go of."

Si Ze was about to say something, but Yan Mo put his finger over his mouth.

She looked at him and he looked at her.

for a long time.

"good."

Si Ze was shocked. He looked at the girl sitting next to him in disbelief.

What did she say? Good?

Is it what he thought? Did she really agree?

"Yan Mo, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Yan Mo didn't answer Si Ze immediately. He stood up, took a few steps forward, and squatted down at the edge of the beach. He reached out and grabbed a handful of sand. He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to repeat himself: "With you."

This time Si Ze was certain. He stood up excitedly and came to Yan Mo at lightning speed. He held Yan Mo's arms and looked into his clear, bright eyes: "Really?"

"Um."

Si Ze picked up Yan Mo and spun around excitedly.

"Mr. Si, put me down. I have something to say." Yan Mo's face flushed slightly, and his hands rested on Si Zeyi's chest.

Si Ze put her down, held the hand that kept patting him, picked it up and kissed it tenderly.

It was not until this moment, when Si Ze felt the warmth from his palm, that he felt it was real and not a dream.

Happiness came so suddenly that Si Ze couldn't contain the smile on his face.

Yan Mo awkwardly fought back, coughed lightly, and his expression became serious: "Mr. Si, I won't hide it from you, I'm not sure whether I like you or not."

Si Ze pulled Yan Mo's hand back: "It's okay, I can wait for you to fall in love with me."

In love, whoever falls in love first loses, and Si Ze lost miserably.

Looking up, Yan Mo stared at Si Ze for a long time and suggested, "Mr. Si, let's make an agreement! Let's try to talk first, with this contract as the deadline."

"Okay." Si Ze agreed without thinking and kissed her cheek proudly.

Yan Mo glared at him and immediately added another one:

"During this period, you cannot engage in any inappropriate behavior without my consent. If we find that it is not suitable in the end, we will part ways amicably."

Although she had lived abroad, Yan Mo was still conservative in her thinking. Subconsciously, she was still afraid that the relationship between them would not have a future.

"Okay, whatever you say." Now Si Ze doesn't care what Yan Mo says as long as Yan Mo agrees.

So straightforward?

Yan Mo expressed some doubts and was about to confirm again when her phone rang at an inopportune moment.

"Ring, ring, ring..." She took out her cell phone and looked at it, but didn't answer it immediately.

Si Ze took a cautious peek, and when he saw who was calling, the smile on his face disappeared and he watched Yan Mo's actions.

"Let's go!" Yan Mo put away his phone and walked towards his home: "I've been out for so long, maybe someone up there is looking for me."

Si Ze hurriedly followed his wife's pace.

The phone was still ringing, and the other party obviously had no intention of hanging up.
