Zhao Moyan knew Tian Yu was back, so he brought Tangyuan back early. He saw Tian Yu asleep in the room, and Tangyuan obediently went out. Zhao Moyan was about to leave as well, but seeing that Tian Yu was sleeping restlessly, frowning and clutching the blanket tightly, he went to the bedside and squatted down to comfort her. In her sleep, Tian Yu grabbed Zhao Moyan's outstretched hand and called out Chen Chong. She sat up abruptly and was stunned to see Zhao Moyan in front of her. Hearing that name, Zhao Moyan felt a pang of sadness. After so long apart, the first thing she said to him was Chen Chong. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Seeing the hand she was holding, Tian Yu quickly let go and explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was being rude in my dream."

"Tangyuan is waiting for you outside." Zhao Moyan stood up and said with a cold, expressionless face.

"Oh! Okay! I'm coming right away." Tian Yu was still lost in thought about the dream she had just had.

Zhao Moyan walked out of the room without a word, not looking at Tian Yu again. Tian Yu tidied herself up and went to the yard where Tangyuan was playing with Maorong. Maorong had grown a lot and looked more like a wolf. It jumped up and pounced on Tian Yu, almost knocking her over. Luckily, Tangyuan called out. Tangyuan was much tanned. Tian Yu hugged Tangyuan and kissed him on the cheek. Tangyuan chuckled and said, "Mother, Mother, Tangyuan is all grown up now, you can't kiss me like that anymore."

"Why not? No matter how old you get, you'll always be my son. I want to kiss you." He then kissed him a few more times.

The fluffy cat also came up and licked Tian Yu's face, but Tian Yu pushed it away in disgust. Tang Yuan laughed and said, "Mommy, I'm a man, you should kiss Xiao Ju instead!"

"Hey fluffy, get out of the way! Mommy wants to kiss you. Who says a man can't let his mother kiss him?"

"That's what Daddy said," Tangyuan said with a smile, as the furry creature licked her face again, leaving both of them covered in furry saliva.

Tian Yu looked up at Zhao Moyan, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with a cold face, seemingly lost in thought. Not knowing how to refute him, she pulled Tangyuan to wash her face.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Moyan asked himself why he was always so indecisive. A little over a month ago, he was so angry, thinking it was better that Tian Yu left, so he wouldn't have to struggle with this anymore. But lately, he found himself unable to live without them. Even though he was conflicted, heartbroken, and angry, he was deeply trapped in it all. He knew Tian Yu didn't have feelings for him, yet he still wanted to see her every day. He had considered never seeing her again, but he couldn't control his heart; he always found an excuse to see her. Now, thinking back on his anger and resentment, he realized it was all his own doing. What right did he have to be angry with Tian Yu? Just being able to stay by their side like this was perhaps the best thing for him. But deep down, he still hoped Tian Yu could forget Chen Chong, and that they could start over.
