As soon as Duan Ye got into the car, his phone rang, and the car's Bluetooth automatically connected to his call.

Luo Qingyuan's voice rang out: "Where did you go?"

Duan Ye: "I have some things to figure out. I'll come back to take care of the kids later and talk to you then."

Luo Qingyuan had already guessed a bit, so she didn't ask any more questions and only said, "Be careful."

Duan Ye agreed and hung up the phone.

Around 6:30 pm.

Duan Ye arrived at the cemetery and found the caretaker, but the caretaker was no longer the same person he had been years ago.

“Mr. Duan, I was transferred here from the cemetery in the west of the city five years ago. I have no idea what happened five years ago, and the surveillance footage here can only be kept for three months.”

Duan Ye was still unwilling to give up: "Uncle Bai, do you know where the gravedigger from five years ago went?"

Old Bai pushed up his reading glasses, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "His name is Chen Ming, Ming as in tomorrow. He has no children in his life. He used to live in the cemetery, but he resigned and I don't know where he went. I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know either."

"Do you know why he resigned?"

Old Bai shook his head: "How would I know?"

If Duan Ye had only sensed something was amiss before coming here, he was now almost certain that something was definitely fishy.

Even his parents didn't know he was at the cemetery. So who was he?

Duan Ye frowned deeply.

Just as Uncle Bai was about to leave, Duan Ye asked, "Who is your leader? Where is he?"

Uncle Bai glanced at him twice, then gave him an address.

After thanking him, Duan Ye turned and left.

Around 8:30 p.m., Duan Ye returned to the hospital. At that moment, Luo Qingyuan was watching cartoons with the children. The family of three was lying in bed, looking very happy.

Seeing Duan Ye return, Duan Luo and Duan Chen's eyes lit up. They crawled out of bed and ran over, stretching out their little hands: "Daddy..."

Duan Ye quickly picked them up, one in each arm, saying, "Slow down, don't step on Mom's feet."

Duan Luo chuckled, "My brother and I are watching, we won't step on Mommy's feet."

Duan Ye smiled and lowered his head, giving each child a kiss as a reward.

"You're such a good baby. Daddy's taking you home now, okay?"

Duan Chen looked at him with his big, round eyes and said, "Dad, I want to stay here with Mom."

Duan Luo said in a childish voice, "I want to too..."

Duan Ye was taken aback, and was about to continue coaxing her when he heard Luo Qingyuan say, "Babies, be good, let's go home together, okay? Mommy will be back in a couple of days..."

However, before Luo Qingyuan could finish speaking, Duan Luo excitedly exclaimed, "Grandma!"

Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan turned around at the same time and saw Ms. Zhao walking in carrying a food box.

Duan Luo and Duan Chen quickly ran over and grabbed Ms. Zhao's arms on either side.

Ms. Zhao handed the food box to Duan Ye, then smiled and picked up the two children: "Luo Luo and Chen Chen, did you miss your grandma?"

The two children exclaimed in unison, "Yes!"

Ms. Zhao was overjoyed and hugged and kissed them several times.

"My darlings, how about you sleep with Grandma tonight? Daddy and Mommy can stay here and chat, okay?"

Duan Luo and Duan Chen looked at their mother, then at their father, and asked, "Will Dad come to pick us up from school tomorrow?"

Duan Chen quickly added, "Dad, please come pick us up this time. Wang the Fatty in my class always says that my sister and I only have Mom..."

Duan Luo's round little face was puffed up with anger: "He's really annoying!"

Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan exchanged a glance, then Duan Ye squatted down and pinched Luo Luo's cute little face: "Okay, Daddy will pick you up after school tomorrow, okay?"

Duan Luo and Duan Chen were instantly delighted.

They hugged Duan Ye from both sides and kissed him several times.

Luo Qingyuan's gaze softened, and seeing this, Ms. Zhao felt a little more at ease.

"Then I'll take the children back. You two should go and have your meal first."

"Luo Luo, Chen Chen, let's go."

"Here I am!"

Say goodbye to Mom and Dad.

Duan Luo: "Bye-bye, Mom and Dad~"

Duan Chen: "Bye-bye, Mom and Dad~"

After Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan said goodbye, the two children went out with Ms. Zhao.

Duan Ye: "Raising two children is really not easy."

Luo Qingyuan nodded, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's not so bad. Most of the time, happiness outweighs trouble."

Duan Ye nodded and then opened the lunchbox that Ms. Zhao had brought for Luo Qingyuan.

The two ate and chatted at the same time.

Duan Ye: "I always feel that there's been a hand pushing us forward behind the scenes, and I still can't figure it out. I don't really want you to worry, I think..."

"The child will stay with the Luo family for now. We'll discuss the child's future after I've figured out and sorted out what happened back then."

What do you think?

Luo Qingyuan nodded, then looked at Duan Ye: "What do you think of Nanxing?"

Duan Ye was taken aback: "Why are you talking about her out of the blue?"

Luo Qingyuan: "I don't like Nanxing."

Duan Ye: "I only see her as a younger sister. If you don't like her, then you don't like her."

“Nanxing came to the company to see me back then.”

"What does she want with you?"

"Dissatisfaction with the status quo."

Duan Ye frowned slightly: "She's a rather sensitive person, but it's okay. She's an artist in your company, so if you don't like her, you can terminate the contract."
