Zhou Mingyan's eyes were red, and he tightly grasped Shen Yanxi's hand and pressed it against his face: "Xixi, are you really planning to give up 30% of the profits for He Lingchuan?"
Zhou Mingyan tried one last time to plead: "Xixi, he doesn't appreciate it at all, why are you..."
"You don't need to say anything, this is what I owe him."
Shen Yanxi turned her head away and murmured softly, "You have no idea how much he has sacrificed for me, Mingyan. The better I am to you, the more I owe him."
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan with deep affection, holding his wrist tightly: "You will understand me, right? Mingyan, didn't you hear what my mother said? Don't you know how much Ling Chuan has sacrificed for me? If you really love me, you should make it up to him with me."
Zhou Mingyan frowned, cautiously probing her: "How are you going to compensate him? Will you give him whatever he wants? He wanted you to give up your cooperation with Zhang Ying this time, and you agreed. What's next? If he wants me to leave, will you also..."
"Mingyan, don't worry, I won't drive you away. I just want to make it up to Lingchuan."
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan with a gentle expression and whispered to him, "Mingyan, can you please help me out? Please be understanding."
Shen Yanxi patiently discussed it with him. She still had some patience for Zhou Mingyan, but if Zhou Mingyan continued to be unreasonable, she was afraid that her last bit of patience would disappear.
Zhou Mingyan looked at Shen Yanxi with a worried expression. He knew that Shen Yanxi's mind was mostly on He Lingchuan. Before she and He Lingchuan completely fell out, he had to pretend to be obedient.
Zhou Mingyan swallowed his anger and nodded at Shen Yanxi with great consideration: "I understand."
Zhou Mingyan took the initiative to hug Shen Yanxi, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice a little muffled: "Xixi, as long as you don't give up on me, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Shen Yanxi was deeply moved. She squeezed Zhou Mingyan's hand tightly and looked at him with a face full of relief.
...
On the other side, He Lingchuan went to school right after leaving Shen Yanxi. He was a little uneasy, worried that the children would be affected by the news, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
He Lingchuan spent a long time mentally preparing himself before going in. The moment he saw Bei Chen, he felt that all the grievances he had suffered these past few days were worth it.
I'll do anything as long as they can grow up healthy.
He Lingchuan walked up to Beichen with a gentle expression and tentatively extended his hand: "Beichen, Daddy's here to pick you up."
Bei Chen's reaction was pretty much what he expected. He pouted and looked at He Lingchuan with a wronged expression: "Didn't you say you'd come pick us up in a few days? Why are you only coming now?"
Bei Chen looked unhappy, but the moment he saw He Lingchuan, he reflexively pounced on him.
He Lingchuan opened his arms and hugged him, gently stroking his head: "Dad ran into some work trouble, so I'm late. I'm sorry, please forgive Dad?"
Bei Chen pretended to think for a while before nodding at He Lingchuan: "Alright, but my brother doesn't seem too happy."
As he said this, Beichen pointed in Nanchen's direction, his voice full of worry: "Dad, you should go and check on Nanchen quickly."
Upon hearing his words, He Lingchuan's expression instantly darkened.
He was somewhat uneasy; from his perspective, Nan Chen's eyes were full of displeasure.
He wasn't sure if he would scare people away if he went over now, so He Lingchuan took a deep breath and decided to observe before going over: "Nan Chen doesn't seem to recognize Dad yet. Dad will go over and see him in a bit."
Upon hearing He Lingchuan's words, Beichen took the initiative to grab his fingers and pushed him to Nanchen's side: "Dad, Nanchen is angry because you came too late, right?"
Bei Chen looked at Nan Chen with an innocent expression, mercilessly exposing his thoughts.
Nan Chen's body stiffened slightly. He turned his head away awkwardly and said in a huff, "I wasn't waiting for him. Don't talk nonsense."
After saying the last word, Nan Chen turned and ran.
Seeing how resistant he was to him, He Lingchuan sighed helplessly, "It seems that if I want to get closer to Nan Chen, I can only try to please him."
He Lingchuan knew Nan Chen too well; he was soft-hearted, especially when it came to his family.
He Lingchuan rubbed his eyes and walked up to Nan Chen to explain, "Nan Chen, Dad had some very important things to do these past few days and was delayed. It was Dad's fault. That's why Dad came to pick you up as soon as he had time. Please forgive Dad, okay?"
Nan Chen frowned as he looked at He Lingchuan. A few minutes later, he asked him impatiently, "Where's Mom? Why didn't Mom come?"
He Lingchuan was a little hurt. He squatted down, looked into Nan Chen's eyes, and patiently discussed with him, "Mom asked me to come and pick you up. How about you stay with Dad tonight?"
Nan Chen frowned, looking rather unhappy.
Bei Chen walked up to Nan Chen at some point, looking at him with a happy expression: "Nan Chen, Dad's here to pick us up. If you're not going, I'll go by myself."
"no."
Nan Chen held Bei Chen's hand tightly, as if she was worried about him.
He hesitated for a moment with his head down, then slowly said, "In that case, I'll go with you."
He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised. He subconsciously looked at Bei Chen and met his smiling face.
He Lingchuan understood and took the two children into the car.
Just as he was about to lead them away, Nan Chen suddenly said, "I need to call my mother."
“I’ve already spoken to him.”
Despite saying that, He Lingchuan still handed him the phone as he requested.
"Your mother agrees that you can come with me."
Nan Chen glanced at He Lingchuan warily, only feeling relieved after hearing Shen Yanxi's reply.
He sat up straight, like a little adult, and solemnly reminded He Lingchuan: "Mom said your reputation isn't very good right now, and she doesn't want us to have any contact with you."
He tilted his little face up and looked at He Lingchuan with a serious expression: "Anyway, don't even think about lying to Beichen. I'll be watching you."
He Lingchuan was both amused and exasperated. He drove the car and teased him on purpose, "Aren't you afraid that Dad will leave you here and not take you back?"
Nan Chen immediately sat up straight, his expression changing drastically: "You, you can't do this."
He pouted, as if he was about to cry at any moment.
He Lingchuan saw his face in the rearview mirror and quickly changed his words: "Nanchen, don't cry, Dad is just teasing you. Dad will definitely take you back."
He Lingchuan coaxed Nan Chen for a while before he finally calmed down.
He Lingchuan was silent for a while, then, thinking of what Nan Chen had just said about his bad reputation, he felt inexplicably worried: "Nan Chen and Bei Chen, are you adjusting well to school? Is there anyone who doesn't like school?"
