Luo Anran never thought that Zhou Luancheng would refuse so straightforwardly, without any hesitation, and in a resolute tone, as if they had never had a good relationship before.

Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes, but I tried hard to smile: "I know you will dislike me too."

Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No, you have a demon in your heart now. Even if we are together, we will not be happy. You have to learn to get out of it."

Luo Anran cried and laughed: "You said it so nicely, but you still dislike me."

Not wanting to show weakness in front of Zhou Luancheng, she wiped her tears and said, "I'm leaving first. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will pester you."

As he spoke he staggered a bit, then stubbornly pushed his bike away.

Zhou Luancheng clenched his fists, watched Luo Anran leave, then pinched his brows and walked in the opposite direction.

…

The whole family was surprised that Zhou Luancheng could go home for lunch.

Zhong Wenqing quickly called his aunt to cook noodles: "You didn't tell me you were coming back for dinner. We had noodles with soybean paste at noon. It was only when Xiaowan came that we made the meat sauce."

Zhou Luancheng smiled, then looked at Mu Xiaowan who was eating noodles with a bowl in hand. He just glanced at him and concentrated on eating the noodles.

After washing his hands and sitting down, Zhou Chaoyang began to chatter: "Second brother, are you going to have a day off tomorrow? I heard there's an event on Chang'an Street. Xiaowan and I plan to go over there after her school event is over. Do you want to join us?"

Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No time, I have to be on duty tomorrow."

Zhou Chaoyang was a little disappointed: "Your work is too busy, isn't it? It seems like you haven't had a normal day off."

Zhong Wenqing also felt that his son was working very hard: "Yes, he should at least have a day off. You have been working since May and you haven't had a day off. Even an iron man can't stand it."

Zhou Luancheng smiled: "Mom, it's not that exaggerated. I just came here and I have to sort out every aspect."

Zhong Wenqing still grumbled: "You should also take some rest. It's a good thing you haven't got married yet. If you were still so busy after getting married, your wife would be dissatisfied."

Zhou Luancheng smiled and said nothing. He waited for his aunt to bring the noodles over and started eating.

Mu Xiaowan did not slow down her eating of noodles just because Zhou Luancheng came back. She finished her noodles in just a few bites and ran to play with Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo who were crawling on the ground.

Zhou Hongyun sat on a small stool nearby, holding a bowl of very soft noodles and feeding the two little ones.

The two of them were like two little birds. After they had eaten the food, they happily crawled away. After they were done eating, they crawled back with their little mouths open to ask for more food.

Mu Xiaowan found it interesting, but still a little confused: "Is this Zhou Zhou?"

Zhou Hongyun laughed: "This Momo, he doesn't like to laugh, he likes to have a stern face. The one who likes to laugh and is naughty is Zhouzhou, look, he took out the noodles to play with them again."

Mu Xiaowan looked at it carefully for a while and said, "They are indeed different, but after a while, I couldn't tell them apart anymore."

Zhou Hongyun patiently told her about the characteristics of the two children.

Sheng An Ning held An An in her arms and watched Zhou Hongyun and Mu Xiaowan chatting in the living room. She also watched Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Luancheng show off their bracelets. "Look at my red sandalwood bracelet. Isn't it beautiful? There are lotus flowers carved on each bead."

Zhou Luancheng really took a few serious looks at it: "It is quite beautiful. The lotus on each bead is lifelike."

Zhong Wenqing was somewhat proud: "Of course, these were all made by Xiao Wan herself. I didn't expect Xiao Wan to have such a skill."

When Zhou Luancheng heard that it was Mu Xiaowan who did it, he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that the girl who looked so carefree could actually calm down and do this.

Think about Mu Xiaowan’s grandfather, who was a great carving master and often lamented that he had no one to succeed him.

Zhong Wenqing stroked each bead on the bracelet and said, "This child is really thoughtful. The more I look at this bracelet, the more I like it."

Zhou Chaoyang looked at Zhong Wenqing showing off and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Mom, you have to wear short sleeves when you go out tomorrow, otherwise others won't see you wearing the bracelet."

Zhong Wenqing glared at her and said, "Child, I can't let anyone else see this precious thing. Let your second brother take a look and see if he can recognize the gem."

Zhou Luancheng understood that his mother's words had a hidden meaning, so he smiled and said nothing, concentrating on eating.

He has no plans for personal issues at all now.

If he said that he had completely let go of Luo Anran, he would be deceiving himself. Looking at her today, he felt that he also had a great responsibility.

If she hadn't faked her own death, she wouldn't have been forced to marry Geng Aiguo after waiting for three years. The misfortune of marriage forced that simple-minded girl to learn how to calculate.

So he felt that he was not suitable for marriage and would let down another girl.

On the morning of National Day, after Sheng An Ning went to school to participate in an event, she did not go to Chang'an Avenue with Zhou Chaoyang and Mu Xiaowan to watch the excitement, but went home to accompany her three children.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhou Zhou sitting on the ground crying with tears all over his face and snot bubbles coming out. When he saw his mother, he pointed at his grandmother and cried even harder.

Zhong Wenqing held Momo in his arms and saw two red spots on Momo's little face, with his little mouth pursed as if he was about to cry.

The scene was a bit chaotic. Sheng Anning went over and picked up Zhou Zhou: "What happened?"

Zhong Wenqing touched Momo's little face and said, "Look at how Zhou Zhou got bit by Momo. If he had bitten him harder, the skin would have been broken."

Sheng An Ning went over and saw clearly that there were four small teeth marks on Mo Mo's face. The bites were quite deep and the surrounding areas were red.

Patting Zhou Zhou's little butt in his arms, he said, "Why are you so naughty? Why did you bite your brother?"

Zhong Wenqing felt distressed: "It's also our fault for not paying attention. Why does Zhou Zhou always get on bad terms with his brother?"

Sheng An Ning saw Zhou Zhou crying and grievance, and his little hands were rubbing his eyes, and he was helpless: "You bit your brother and you're still crying. If you bully your brother again in the future, you will really be beaten."

Zhong Wenqing felt sorry for Zhou Zhou again: "He is so young, he won't understand even if you tell him. We can only keep a closer eye on him in the future."

Suddenly I remembered, "Oh, right, the street office wants you to go to the Women's Federation to fill out a family planning form."

Sheng An Ning saw that it was still early, so she simply carried Zhou Zhou to the street.

Because Zhou Shixun’s household registration has never been in the Zhou family, and after she came back, her household registration was directly transferred to the school, so it is still under the management of the local street office.

It takes quite a distance to walk from the compound, but Zhou Zhou was so happy that he stopped crying as soon as he got out of the door and looked around with shining eyes.

When I arrived at the door of the street office, before I went in, I heard a child crying loudly inside.

Sheng An Ning didn't know why, but when she heard the cry of this strange child, she felt a suffocation in her chest...
