He Lingchuan suppressed his anger. One of them had to calm down first, otherwise they would keep arguing.
He drove the car into the garage, told Shen Yanxi to go back first, and planned to go in through the back door himself.
Shen Yanxi withdrew her hand from the car door, looking at him with some dissatisfaction: "You don't even want to appear with me now? He Lingchuan, it's clearly you who's been flirting with other women outside, why are you taking it out on me?"
How am I being unfaithful?
He Lingchuan angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel and suddenly honked the horn. Shen Yanxi frowned even more deeply, misunderstanding that He Lingchuan was deliberately talking back to her.
Shen Yanxi was so angry that she refused to speak. She pushed open the door and left, her expression growing increasingly somber.
Back in her room, Shen Yanxi kept a sullen face and didn't even hear Zhou Mingyan speaking to her.
Finally, Zhou Mingyan patted her shoulder, and Shen Yanxi came back to her senses: "Mingyan? Why aren't you resting yet?"
Shen Yanxi looked at the person in front of her with some embarrassment. She thought about how she had just been troubled by He Lingchuan and felt that she had let Zhou Mingyan down.
"Xixi, I really want to make the two children angry."
Zhou Mingyan sighed, put his hands behind his back, and lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
Why do you say that?
Shen Yanxi glanced at the children's room; the lights were already off. "Did they go to bed too early tonight, which is why they didn't have time to say hello?"
Shen Yanxi thought Zhou Mingyan was going to throw another tantrum over this, but to her surprise, he gave a bitter smile and looked aggrieved: "Xixi, you're thinking too simply. The two children are becoming increasingly distant from my academy. They don't even want to call me 'Uncle Zhou' anymore, let alone 'Dad Zhou'."
Zhou Mingyan is truly at a loss. If he wants the acting master to focus all his attention on him, he must find a way to please the two children.
Zhou Mingyan stared at Shen Yanxi's face and tentatively asked her, "Xixi, the children are so hostile towards me now, which may be related to the fact that I haven't spent much time with them lately. Tomorrow is my day off, and I think we should go to the amusement park together. Maybe that can ease the tension between us."
Shen Yanxi hesitated for a moment. She did not agree with Zhou Mingyan's suggestion. After all, the two children's health had just improved, and it was still a bit too early for them to go to the amusement park. She was worried that the two children's bodies could not handle it.
Just as Shen Yanxi was about to refuse, He Lingchuan spoke up first: "They were just discharged from the hospital, why would they go to an amusement park?"
He Lingchuan walked up to Zhou Mingyan, his face full of anger. He coldly questioned the man in front of him: "Are you willing to risk their lives just to ease the tension between you and the children?"
"Mr. He, you've misunderstood me. I just wanted to get to know the children better."
"That won't work either."
He Lingchuan's attitude was very firm. If it were before, he might have considered it and perhaps even let them take the children with them, but not now. They had just been discharged from the hospital, and their stomachs and bodies were still very fragile and could not withstand any further strain.
Zhou Mingyan frowned. He didn't insist, but his words silenced He Lingchuan and Shen Yanxi: "But I've already made a promise to them, and I can't go back on my word."
Zhou Mingyan pouted and feigned pitifulness to Shen Yanxi: "Xixi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to the children's request before you came back, but they were just too pitiful, and I couldn't help myself..."
Shen Yanxi's expression wasn't too pleasant either. Seeing Zhou Mingyan's aggrieved look, she ultimately couldn't bear to refuse him: "Since you've already promised the children, then go ahead."
Zhou Mingyan grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand with a joyful expression: "Xixi, you're so good. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the children."
He was very confident and had prepared snacks well in advance, but to his surprise, the two children did not want him to come along at all.
Zhou Mingyan watched as Nan Chen tugged at Shen Yanxi's hand, acting coquettishly as he asked, "Isn't Daddy going?"
Shen Yanxi squatted down, about to explain to him, when she heard Bei Chen say from the side, "If Dad isn't going, I won't go either. I only want to go with Dad."
Shen Yanxi was somewhat surprised. She looked up at He Lingchuan and asked, "What did you do to them? Why are they suddenly so close to you?"
He Lingchuan didn't answer Shen Yanxi's question, but squatted down and patted the two children's heads: "Daddy will go with you."
What will happen if you go to Mingyan?
They only prepared two adult tickets, as tickets for that kindergarten are extremely difficult to obtain, and it's too late to buy them now.
“You heard what the children said: if I don’t go, they won’t go.”
Left with no other choice, Zhou Mingyan had to give the ticket to He Lingchuan.
Shen Yanxi looked guilty and hugged Zhou Mingyan tightly before leaving, saying, "We'll be back soon."
Zhou Mingyan smiled and waved to her, but inside he was insanely jealous.
He watched Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan leave, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
He was the only one left in the huge living room. Zhou Mingyan's eyes were red, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled with anger. He made a phone call, gave a few instructions to the person on the other end, and laughed slyly.
...
He Lingchuan spent the whole day playing with the children at the amusement park, but before going home, he received a call from the lab saying that there were some issues that needed his attention.
He Lingchuan settled Shen Yanxi and the children in, and only returned to his car after making sure they were safely home.
He Lingchuan opened the car door, but before he could even get in, a burly man grabbed his shoulder and asked, "You're He Lingchuan?"
Who are you? What do you want?
He Lingchuan sensed something was wrong. He wanted to leave, but it was too late. The man grabbed his waist at some point and threw him to the ground.
He Lingchuan's mouth was filled with a strong taste of blood. His arm was scraped, and his forehead was swollen from hitting a pillar.
He Lingchuan stared wide-eyed, trying to remember what the man looked like, but he was wearing a hood.
He saw the man walking towards him, muttering, "Don't blame me, I'm just doing this for money."
The man swung his fist, and a sharp pain shot through He Lingchuan, who felt as if one of his ribs had broken.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and he tried to stand up by supporting himself with his hands, but found that he couldn't even crawl.
"I'll pay you double the price if you take me to the hospital, and I won't call the police, okay?"
He Lingchuan tried to discuss it with the man, but the man wouldn't listen and raised his hand again.
He Lingchuan raised his arm to protect his head, his eyes tightly shut, but instead of the expected pain, he heard a roar: "What are you doing? If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
