After He Lingchuan left, Shen Yanxi looked at Nan Chen's face with tenderness and couldn't help but worry. After thinking it over again and again, she still sent a text message to Zhou Mingyan - Lingchuan went to take care of you. Call me if anything happens.
Zhou Mingyan stared at the text message for a long time. He had a broken arm and countless abrasions on his body, yet Shen Yanxi actually asked He Lingchuan to take care of him.
Although dissatisfied, Zhou Mingyan did not take his anger out on Shen Yanxi. Wasn't He Lingchuan here to take care of him?
Very well, he can take this opportunity to let He Lingchuan know the consequences of messing with his woman.
Zhou Mingyan didn't hear the door open until the early hours of the morning.
He hadn't eaten all night, and immediately opened his eyes, questioning He Lingchuan, "Why are you only arriving now?"
He glanced at his phone, furious: "You left five hours ago."
"Time to eat."
He Lingchuan sat lazily in the chair, clearly not wanting to pay him any attention.
Seeing that Zhou Mingyan was about to speak, he interrupted him directly: "Zhou Mingyan, I'm not here to take care of you, you know? I'm here just to let Shen Yanxi stay at home with Nan Chen, so no matter what you ask me to do, I won't do it."
He Lingchuan took a photo while speaking, presumably to send to Shen Yanxi.
Zhou Mingyan didn't expect him to not even pretend. He angrily picked up his phone and recorded He Lingchuan: "Do you dare to say what you just said again?"
He Lingchuan shrugged, not caring at all: "Even if Shen Yanxi were here right now, I would still dare to say that."
Zhou Mingyan trembled all over, his face pale with pain from the fractured bone.
He held up his phone, waiting for He Lingchuan to speak.
"Go ahead and say it! You dare to say it?"
He Lingchuan looked at the camera, smiled, and then remained silent.
Zhou Mingyan belatedly realized that He Lingchuan was playing a trick on him, and angrily threw his phone away.
He almost forgot that if He Lingchuan revealed his true nature at this moment, Shen Yanxi would definitely come over, and He Lingchuan would not gamble with the child.
Zhou Mingyan kept a cold face. He was waiting for Shen Yanxi to arrive so that he could expose He Lingchuan's true colors.
He even secretly recorded videos while He Lingchuan was sleeping.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Mingyan tiptoed out of the ward.
He calculated that Shen Yanxi should have arrived by now, so he deliberately stood at the door waiting for her.
The moment Shen Yanxi saw Zhou Mingyan, her eyes widened immediately: "Why are you here alone? Where is He Lingchuan?"
He Lingchuan clearly promised her that he would take good care of Zhou Mingyan, but now he's leaving Zhou Mingyan alone outside.
Shen Yanxi grabbed He Lingchuan's hand and carefully supported him, asking, "Does your wound still hurt?"
Shen Yanxi didn't have time to ask any more questions. She pushed open the door and saw He Lingchuan sitting in a chair, stretching. Hearing the voice behind him, He Lingchuan paused for a few seconds before speaking, "You're here? Then I'll be leaving?"
He had no intention of communicating with Shen Yanxi and got up to leave.
Watching him leave, Shen Yanxi called out to him coldly, "Stop right there! Didn't I tell you to take care of Mingyan? Is this how you take care of him?"
What more do you want from me?
He Lingchuan snorted coldly: "Isn't he completely fine?"
“I told you to take good care of him, not just sit here.”
Shen Yanxi was so angry that her face turned pale. She couldn't speak, and her chest heaved violently.
He Lingchuan stared at her for a long time before replying indifferently, "I only promised to come and keep an eye on him, I didn't say I would take care of him."
He Lingchuan looked coldly at the person opposite him: "Shen Yanxi, if it weren't for the child, I wouldn't bother staying in this hospital for even one night."
He looked up, his gaze shifting between the two of them: "You probably won't be able to pick up the kids today, so you won't need to come tonight. It's been so many days, Nan Chen should be able to accept sharing a room with me."
After saying this, He Lingchuan turned and left without waiting for Shen Yanxi's reply.
"Wait a minute, you stop right there, He Lingchuan. If you dare to take the children away by yourself, I'll never let you see them again."
Shen Yanxi was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. She shouted until her voice was hoarse, but He Lingchuan still didn't stop.
He left without hesitation, completely disregarding Shen Yanxi's feelings.
...
After returning home, He Lingchuan began preparing a gift for Nan Chen. Nan Chen especially liked airplanes, so He Lingchuan made a model airplane for him.
After finally making it to the end of the school day, He Lingchuan arrived at the school an hour early to pick up his child.
He Lingchuan's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Nan Chen come out of the classroom.
He spoke cautiously, afraid of scaring Nan Chen: "Nan Chen, Bei Chen, Daddy's here to pick you up."
He Lingchuan stood next to Bei Chen, keeping a distance from Nan Chen.
Hearing his words, Nan Chen looked around blankly.
Where is Mom?
He pouted, as if he was about to cry at any moment.
He Lingchuan raised his hand to comfort him, but worried that he would reject him, so he said across Beichen, "Can't Daddy pick you up? If Daddy picks you up, you can get out of school an hour early."
He Lingchuan hadn't told Shen Yanxi before he came. He looked at Nan Chen nervously, afraid that he would reject him.
"All right."
Nan Chen nodded with some difficulty and reached out his hand.
He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised and quickly grabbed Nan Chen's hand tightly, afraid that he would regret it.
Once he got in the car, he remembered to call Shen Yanxi.
After calling several times without getting through, He Lingchuan got tired of it and took the child home.
He parked his car and ran into Cao Xue, who was carrying fruit.
After a few days apart, Cao Xue looked much more haggard than before.
"What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the project?"
He Lingchuan looked at him nervously, wondering whether he should go to the lab to take a look, when he saw Cao Xue shake her head: "The lab is fine, I just wanted to come and see you."
Cao Xue squatted down and looked at the two children: "These must be Nan Chen and Bei Chen, right? They're so cute."
Nan Chen blinked, showing no aversion to Cao Xue.
He is now only afraid of men, but he remains as lively and cheerful as before when he is around women.
Hello, Sister Cao Xue.
Hello, Sister Cao Xue.
The two children were polite and intelligent. Cao Xue smiled, and the fatigue from a busy day vanished.
"Good girl, but you should call me auntie."
Cao Xue looked up and smiled at He Lingchuan: "Right, Brother Lingchuan?"
He Lingchuan watched the interaction between the three of them with some surprise. Hearing Cao Xue's words, he didn't react for a moment. It was Nan Chen who tugged at his sleeve to remind him.
He Lingchuan scratched his head, not understanding Cao Xue's intentions, but seeing that the children seemed to like her, he didn't stop her from getting close to Nan Chen and Bei Chen. He just said somewhat awkwardly, "It's up to you. Let them call you whatever they want, as long as you don't mind. Calling them 'Auntie' is fine with me too."
