Luo Che heard the two little ones talking about going to the zoo, and then they said their parents were arguing and they couldn't go.

Both of them looked pitiful and lost, which was heartbreaking to see.

"How about my mom and I take you with us?" Luo Che said, thinking that he didn't have any classes today.

"Okay!" The two raised their hands together, and Xiao Kui hugged Luo Che's neck and said softly, "Daddy is the best."

When Xiang Zhilan came out after washing up, she suddenly noticed something: Xiao Kui couldn't pronounce Luo Che's name properly when calling him "Dad," but she pronounced Shen Muzhi's name perfectly. Perhaps this was Xiao Kui's unique way of distinguishing between people.

"Mom, Uncle Luo said he can take us to the zoo!" Hengheng ran over excitedly and hugged her leg, as if afraid she wouldn't agree.

"Let's go to the zoo! Let's go to the zoo!" Xiao Kui emphasized, following behind Heng Heng.

Xiang Zhilan smiled helplessly and looked at Luo Che, saying, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Luo Che stood up and said, "The sun is shining brightly today, and I'm very happy to go out with the children."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first." Xiang Zhilan went into the bedroom, changed into a more comfortable outfit, and then took the children's scarves and coats and came out to dress them.

I also packed some things we'd need for the trip; taking two kids out for a day isn't so simple.

Finally, with her backpack completely full, she was ready to go out with Luo Che and the two children.

Luo Che's car was parked some distance away. They were holding one child in their arms and leading another by the hand, looking just like a family of four traveling together.

Shen Muzhi sat in the car, watching the four of them get in, chatting and laughing. The veins on his hands gripping the steering wheel bulged out.

He woke up this morning and hesitated for a long time, feeling that he couldn't break his promise to the children, so he came anyway. But he found that it didn't matter if they didn't have him. They were just as happy as Luo Che when they went out.

Haha, that's true. Luo Che was already closer to them, while he had only spent less than a month with the children. Perhaps they would have been happier going to the zoo with Luo Che.

What is he sad about, what is he disappointed about?

He didn't have much time left to spend with the children anyway, so rather than letting their bond grow stronger and then grieve his departure, it was better this way. Children forget things quickly; they might soon forget him, their irresponsible father.

Given Xiang Zhilan's qualifications, she could definitely find them a good father.

From then on, their lives would have nothing to do with him anymore.

Blood vessels burst from Shen Mu's eyes; he couldn't bear the thought of it.

Actually, he came here today not just to fulfill a promise to his child, but essentially because he missed her.

He thinks about her every day, and even though he knows she's here, he can't stop thinking about her.

He wanted to see her again, to talk to her again. Their day had ended so badly, and he wanted his last memory to be beautiful.

Now he's too late, forced to watch helplessly as Luo Che takes away his woman and his child.

Half an hour later, Shen Muzhi came to his senses and realized that he had been following them to the zoo in his car like a stalker.

They got off the bus to buy tickets at the ticket office. He was also wearing a mask and hat and went to buy tickets at the ticket office, about ten meters away from them, before entering the zoo.

Luo Che led Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui led Heng Heng, and Heng Heng led Xiang Zhi Lan. The four of them walked in unison, a sight that was truly jarring.
