“Mom, I would have done it even if you hadn’t told me. That’s what I was thinking.” Xiang Zhilan hugged her mother’s arm and leaned affectionately on her shoulder.

Xiang's mother gently stroked her hair, her eyes reddening again. Her daughter had become a mother in the blink of an eye, and now she was still clinging to her like this.

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked in confusion, "Why is Xiao Kui's surname Luo? Did you remarry?"

Xiang Zhilan smiled helplessly. Sure enough, most people would think in this direction. She then told her about Luo Zhenxian and her background.

Xiang's mother felt even more sorry for her daughter, who had gone through so much suffering without her knowledge. She must have found it very difficult to accept when she first learned about her origins.

"Fortunately, it's all over now." Xiang's mother patted Xiang Zhilan's hand. "From now on, our family will be happy."

"Mm." Xiang Zhilan nodded.

The mother and daughter chatted in the living room for a long time before Xiang Zhilan prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

The phone suddenly vibrated, and Xiang Zhilan frowned. It was Shen Muzhi's number.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Where are you!" Shen Muzhi's voice was urgent and panicked, as if he had lost some precious treasure.

Xiang Zhilan was stunned. Did he think she had run away again?

"I'm with my parents," she replied softly, opening the door and going into her room to check if her two children had kicked off their blankets.

When Shen Muzhi heard her answer, he let out a long sigh of relief. When he realized that they were not at home, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and he could hardly breathe.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," Xiang Zhilan said when he didn't speak.

"Wait." Shen Muzhi called out urgently, and after catching his breath, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Can I see the children tomorrow?"

"Okay, then let's meet at the Happy Restaurant tomorrow at noon." Xiang Zhilan said, putting away her phone.

Shen Muzhi's lips curled slightly; he would be able to see her and the children again tomorrow.

Lying in bed, I was too excited to sleep all night.

The next day, I got up early to prepare.

He didn't have many clothes in the apartment, so he drove back to the villa and carefully selected some. This was his first time eating with the children, and he wanted to make a good impression.

"Sir, Miss Bai has arrived," Butler Chen announced as Shen Muzhi changed his clothes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yutong pushed the door open and came in.

She walked towards Shen Muzhi and, seeing that he was dressed very formally, couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Are you going on a blind date?"

"I need to see the children," Shen Muzhi said, adjusting his tie.

"You're going to see the kids like this? You have no charm at all." Bai Yutong complained, handing him her bag and placing it by his bedside, saying, "Here, don't blame your aunt for not helping you, this is for you."

Shen Muzhi frowned and looked at Bai Yutong's bag.

Bai Yutong took out four hoodies from inside. The men's and boys' hoodies were sky blue, while the women's and girls' hoodies were light pink, all printed with Disney cartoon characters.

"If we're talking about seniority, I should be those two kids' great-aunt, so consider this my greeting gift." Bai Yutong patted Shen Muzhi's shoulder. "Work hard, nephew."

After Bai Yutong finished speaking, she turned and left, and Butler Chen immediately saw her off.

Shen Muzhi lowered his eyes to look at the cartoon hoodie. He had never worn such clothes in his life, but just imagining his family of four wearing them...
