The original owner's corruption level also dropped at this time, leaving only twenty.

The original owner harbored hatred and resentment towards Shen Silan.

Ahri is like a scumbag woman, toying with his feelings, playing with his sincerity, making him sad and heartbroken, leaving him in despair.

Sure enough, the original owner's level of corruption decreased.

Ahri breathed a sigh of relief; the last twenty should have opened the passage back.

At this moment, Xiao Dangui walked up to Shen Silan, took his hand, and said, "Dad, now it's your turn to catch us!"

Shen Silan still had tears in his eyes. He looked up at Ali, who had also come back. She picked up Xiao Danggui and said softly, "Daddy is tired and can't chase anymore. We won't play today."

"Let's play again next time."

"good."

Ali walked up to Shen Silan and said, "You're such a grown-up, yet you cry just because you were tricked once. You're so fragile."

Shen Silan kept her mouth tightly shut and looked at Ali. What was she doing? Was she going to hit her and then give her a sweet treat?

The corruption value will no longer increase.

Ali said, "There's still soup simmering at home. If we don't go back soon, the kitchen will burn down, and we'll really be homeless."

No, it won't.

Shen Silan expressionlessly picked up Xiao Danggui and held Ah Li's hand. He still wanted to cry his heart out.

Ah Li took his arm apologetically and rested her head on it, saying, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, honey. Next time I promise I won't hide anything and I'll tell you everything, okay?"

"You said that?"

"Yes, I promise."

The family of three went home like that.

Back in the kitchen, the soup was still bubbling and boiling.

Xiao Danggui said he was hungry, so Shen Silan went to get him some food.

Ah Li wanted to help, but Shen Silan wouldn't let her do anything and wouldn't even speak to her.

Ah Li knew she had really hurt someone, so she ate by herself and planned to make amends properly that night.

Soon, it got dark.

Shen Silan took Xiao Danggui to another room to sleep, leaving Ah Li alone in the empty room.

Ah Li guessed that Xiao Danggui was asleep, so she went over and knocked on the door, and even tried to open it; the door wasn't locked.

Ah Li pushed open the door and found Shen Silan lying on the bed, with Xiao Danggui sleeping next to her.

Ahri carefully went inside, then sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "Shall we go back to that room?"

Shen Silan kept her eyes closed and did not answer.

Ahri slowly lay down and hugged Shen Silan from behind, saying, "I'll be honest with you, I just want to go back, I've always wanted to. Besides, I came here because of you, so I want to have a child with you. When the child becomes the next High Priest, I can put my heart and soul into it and open the passage back."

As Ah Li confessed, Shen Silan recalled that time when this person invited him to a hotel and took off his clothes, possibly to have a child, but he thought it was to take his heart's blood.

The thought of that time made him even angrier; sure enough, she had planned it all along.

Seeing that Shen Silan was still silent, Ah Li said, "Actually, I did think about telling you, but when I thought about how it would be more than ten years before Xiao Danggui turned eighteen, I decided to tell you later."

"Ha, you'll tell me later? By the time I find out, you'll probably be long gone."

Shen Silan spoke, her voice cold, still angry.

Ah Li still hugged him and said, "No, we'll go back together, I promise... Honey, I miss you."

Shen Silan pulled the blanket up for Xiao Danggui and said, "It's late, go back to your room and sleep."

"But I can't sleep without you by my side."

Ahri continued to press against him, and Shen Silan reacted, but he still didn't turn around or say anything.

Besides, it's really hard to sleep like this, so Ah Li slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

The door opened, then closed again.

Shen Silan sat up, looked at the door, picked up his phone and texted Lao Chen, "Any suitable scripts for me lately?"

When Lao Chen saw this, he called Shen Silan.

Shen Silan didn't answer, but sent a message: "The child is sleeping, it's inconvenient."

[Yes, there are several. You've finally come to your senses and decided not to be a stay-at-home dad anymore. I told you, you have to manage both family and career, otherwise, once you become a haggard husband, who knows if your wife will still want you.]

Shen Silan's eyes reddened. She had never wanted him. The thought of him carrying Xiao Dangui away, and her words of protest, filled him with unbearable sorrow. "I'll come visit you tomorrow."

the next day

Shen Silan got up to prepare breakfast and fed Xiao Danggui. Then he led her to Ali's room and said, "Dad has gone out to work. You have to be a good girl at home."

"good."

Little Angelica was very well-behaved; instead of going in to bother Ah Li, she went into the study.

He picked up the mask and stood by the French windows, basking in the sun.

Shen Silan did not stop him. She said that she had always wanted to go back.

When Ah Li woke up, Shen Si Lan was gone. Xiao Dang Gui told Ah Li, "Mom, Dad said he went to work."

"Okay, let's continue."

Ali also commissioned many magical artifacts. She began to teach Xiao Danggui to recognize the artifacts, their names, and their uses.

Little Angelica was very serious, but he kept glancing at Ah Li and noticed that his mother didn't seem very happy.

Ali patted Little Angelica's head and said, "Then remember this well. If you don't understand something, I'll teach you when I get back."

Ahri came out of the room, leaned against the door and slowly lowered her head. This is why she finds the "darkening value" troublesome.
