"Wanqing, I need your help."

Yu Manfan gripped Wen Wanqing's wrist tightly and raised her voice to suppress Su Wantang's words.

“Lele has become unruly. Tingting and I feel sorry for him and can’t bear to hit him. Since your father-in-law is home and has nothing to do, why don’t you ask him to help take care of him and try to correct his behavior?”

“Manfan—”

Yu Manfan squeezed out a few cat tears: "Wanqing, we've been friends for so many years, and I've never asked you for anything. Please, I'm begging you."

Wen Wanqing frowned, staring intently at Yu Manfan without saying a word.

"Wanqing, Tingting is my only daughter and my only grandson. She can't be ruined. If all else fails, I'll kneel down for you."

Yu Tingting chimed in, "Aunt Wen, please, for my sake, help Lele."

"good."

...

That evening, Lu Huai'an rushed back to the compound.

They also successfully met Su Wantang.

He just didn't give him a friendly look and ignored him completely.

The dinner table was even more unsettling.

"Wantang, I've finished preparing the divorce papers. I'll submit them tomorrow."

"grandfather!"

"What, you cripple, now you want to back out?"

"Lu Huai'an, you little brat, let me tell you, there's no room for negotiation on this!"

The exact same words.

But the situation was reversed.

Since Wen Wanqing was injured, Su Wantang specially cooked for her tonight, making her favorite dishes.

At this moment, Wen Wanqing spat out the sweet and sour pork ribs in her mouth and took a moment to speak.

"Dad, could you give a heads-up and urge them to hurry up? There's a whole line of potential dates waiting for me."

Lu Yuanyang, always eager for a good show, said, "Huai'an, take good care of your injuries. After three months, you can even carry your sister to her wedding."

Lu Huai'an: "..."

I can't eat this meal.

Lu Huai'an stood up, making a move to leave.

But when he got up, he dawdled, his eyes almost glued to Su Wantang.

Seeing through his thoughts, Lu Zhentian sneered, "He really is useless now, he can't even walk properly."

Wen Wanqing: "Did you hurt yourself there?"

Lu Yuanyang's brow twitched, sensing that his wife was about to say something shocking again.

Su Wantang, who understood immediately, put her fist to her mouth, trying not to laugh.

Lu Zhentian: What the hell?

"Dad, it seems our third branch of the family is doomed; we're going to die out."

"mom!"

"I can do it!"

"Oh..." Wen Wanqing swallowed the meat, her tone perfunctory, "Walk a few steps and take a look?"

Lu Huai'an left quickly with a dark expression.

Nobody cared.

The family of four continued their dinner with smiles, the atmosphere even better than before Lu Huai'an left.

Half an hour later, Aunt Wang called out from outside the door, carrying a bowl of food.

"Huai'an, you may be angry, but don't let yourself go hungry."

Thinking of something, Lu Huai'an opened the door.

"Did Wan Tang specially cook this meal for me again?"

His tone was calm, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

"The old man said it would be a waste not to feed the leftovers to the dogs."

Lu Huai'an: "..."

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Wantang got up and practiced boxing as usual.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Lu Huai'an.

"Wantang, I..."

"Make way, don't block the way."

Lu Zhentian pushed Lu Huai'an aside from behind, completely ignoring Lu Huai'an's suddenly cold expression.

"Wantang, come here, Grandpa will practice boxing with you."

Seeing Lu Huai'an's discomfiture, Su Wantang curled her lips and said, "Fine."

Lu Huai'an frowned as he watched the two of them happily practicing boxing.

Suddenly, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a pretty female voice came out.

"Brother Huai'an".

Yu Tingting had clearly dressed up specially, wearing a floral plaid shirt with the hem tucked into her slim-fitting flared pants, looking fashionable and beautiful.

She pounced on me like a butterfly.

"Yu Tong..."

Before Lu Huai'an could finish speaking, Jiang Lele, who had rushed over, grabbed his right leg.

"Uncle Huai'an, I miss you so much. Do you miss me too?"

Jiang Lele tilted her round little face up, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter; she was incredibly cute.

Looking at the child's innocent face, Lu Huai'an's heart softened. He suddenly thought of his and Su Wantang's child. Would the child be just as cute?

He twitched the corner of his mouth, placed his large hand on Jiang Lele's head, and hummed in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tingting laughed even harder.

“Brother Huai’an, Lele has been a bit naughty lately, and I haven’t been able to take care of her. So I discussed it with Auntie and we decided to send the child to Grandpa Lu for a few days to teach her.”

"Um."

"Brother Huai'an..."

The three of them stood together, with Yu Tingting speaking shyly about the child. Lu Huai'an didn't say much, but he responded to every word. They looked like a sweet family of three.

Yu Tingting even gave Su Wantang a provocative glance.

"Grandpa, I've finished practicing. I'm going back to my room now."

Lu Zhentian watched Su Wantang turn and walk away, then tapped her with his cane.

"Grandpa, the child is here. What if you hurt him?"

Lu Zhentian: "..."

You idiot!

Is he your own son? You're so eager to take care of him!

If it weren't for...

“Oh…” Lu Zhentian said lightly, “Wantang just urged me to speed up the divorce filing process.”

Lu Huai'an turned and left.

"Brother Huai'an!" Yu Tingting cried out anxiously, "Aren't you going to take care of Lele?"

Lu Zhentian said with a smile, "Tingting, no, should this old man take care of her?"

"You go to work, I'll take care of the kids, don't worry about it."

Yu Tingting gritted her teeth and left unwillingly.

...

Knock knock knock.

Su Wantang thought it was Lu Zhentian, so she opened the door. When she saw it was Lu Huai'an, she immediately closed the door, but Lu Huai'an reached out and stuffed his hand into the crack to block it.

"Wantang, I was wrong."

"I just thought Lele was cute, and it made me think of our child. He'll definitely be even more adorable than Lele in the future."

"I swear, I have absolutely no romantic feelings for gay men, and I didn't mean to make you jealous."

Su Wantang found it amusing in her heart, but her face remained indifferent.

"Battalion Commander Lu, you don't need to explain to me whether you have other intentions or not, I don't care."

not give a damn about.

There was no sudden panic in my heart.

“We need to give an explanation,” Lu Huai’an emphasized.

"You are my wife."

Lu Huai'an emphasized these words, as if he were trying to prove something.

Now you know I'm your wife?

It's too late!

"Let me make this clear: we're divorced. You were the one who initiated it, and now we just need to go through the formalities."

"Wantang, I—"

"Lu Huai'an, don't forget! Whoever goes back on their word is a dog!"

"let go!"

Lu Huai'an not only didn't let go, but also closed the door a crack, then opened it again. He stared at Su Wantang's furrowed brows and parted his lips.

"Woof woof woof!"
