Xiang Zhilan glanced down at his hand holding hers, frowned, looked up at him, and said in a light voice, "If you want children with the surname Chen, you can have more with Miss Bai."

Shen Muzhi's face turned ashen. She was determined to make Xiao Kui take the surname Luo and to have him and Bai Yutong have more children. She was hoping he would have no connection with other women so that she would let him go.

"I'll have more," he replied ominously, then lowered his head and bit her lip.

Xiang Zhilan was startled and tried to push him away by pressing down on his chest, but he was like a mountain and she couldn't push him away.

His arms tightened around her waist, pinning her hands between them, and he bit her lips fiercely, like a wild beast.

"Ugh..." Xiang Zhilan twisted and struggled, staring wide-eyed at her face so close to hers.

She was still too weak against him. Some bad memories flooded her mind. She made up her mind, opened her mouth and bit his lip hard with her teeth. The taste of blood immediately spread, but he still did not let go!

Xiang Zhilan tried to push him away with her arms, but to no avail. Frustrated, she bit off a piece of his lip!

Shen Muzhi then frowned and released her, looking down at the blood on her lips, which looked as vibrant and beautiful as if she had applied lipstick.

He smiled faintly and gently wiped the blood from her lips.

Xiang Zhilan was slightly out of breath, glaring at him angrily, "Shen Muzhi, are you sick?"

“Yes, I’m sick.” Shen Muzhi forced a smile, cupped her face in his hand, gently stroking it with his thumb, and said in a low, hoarse voice, “I think I’m going crazy.”

Seeing the broken and fragmented look in his eyes, Xiang Zhilan clenched her fist and pushed him away abruptly. "If you're sick, go find Xiao Yi or Miss Bai. I'm here to pick up the children."

Shen Muzhi didn't give her a chance to go inside. He grabbed her arm, pulled her back into his arms, and chuckled softly in her ear.

Xiang Zhilan was held very tightly and couldn't move at all. His laughter was very pleasant, and the vibrations of his chest reached her heart.

"You're back. I'm so happy." Since yesterday, Shen Muzhi had felt a surge of joy welling up inside him, a joy that desperately wanted to burst forth. He was genuinely happy. Whether she had married someone else or not, whether she hated him or not, the most important thing was that she was back. It didn't matter how she treated him; as long as she was alive and well in front of him, as long as he could hear her voice and smell her scent, it was all worth being happy about. Even if she thought he was going to get engaged and that he was going to let her go, that didn't matter.

Xiang Zhilan could clearly feel his pleasure. She took a deep breath. What was this?

Does he want to turn Miss Bai into someone as miserable as she was back then? Clinging to the old while grasping at the new, will he never learn his lesson?

"Shen Muzhi, let go." Xiang Zhilan knew she couldn't push him away, and said coldly, "I don't want to make a scene and wake the child."

She'd been in there for quite a while, and the children hadn't made a sound, so he must have put them to sleep in the bedroom.

"Then stop making a fuss and let me hold you for a while." Shen Muzhi's voice was low, hoarse, and magnetic, with a hint of coaxing.

"What are you trying to do to Miss Bai? Are you going to live your whole life filled with regret?" Xiang Zhilan frowned and struggled even harder.

Shen Muzhi refused to let go, suppressing her struggles, and explained in a deep voice, "She and I have nothing to do with each other!"
