After getting married, He Lingchuan did everything himself because Shen Yanxi said she didn't like outsiders in the house, and never hired a nanny.
If he doesn't take care of the child, then Shen Yanxi will have to take care of the child herself.
She couldn't stand it after just one day of living his way of life, so what about him?
He's lived like this all these years, has he ever complained?
At this moment, Zhou Mingyan came out of the children's room and said, "Xixi, I've already helped them take a bath. It could have been done much faster, but Nan Chenfei was playing games with me and splashed water all over me."
Zhou Mingyan glanced at He Lingchuan only after walking downstairs, as if he had just noticed him.
He smiled faintly: "Mr. He's back. Have you been drinking?"
He Lingchuan ignored him and, as he bent down to change his shoes, he heard Zhou Mingyan say, "Mr. He, no matter how unhappy you are, you can't take it out on the child."
“They thought they were bad kids because they were late, and they made a fuss for a long time today. Xixi is busy with work, and it's lucky that I was free today so I could help look after them. Otherwise, how could she manage on her own?”
He Lingchuan paused, straightened up, looked at him with cold eyes, and asked, word by word, "Are you blaming me?"
Zhou Mingyan quickly waved his hand, then put on the innocent look he had last night: "That's not what I meant, I was just giving some advice."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yanxi with some helplessness.
Shen Yanxi stepped forward and took his hand, saying, "You don't need to explain so much to him. I really owe you a lot for your help today, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
Zhou Mingyan took her hand in return and smiled, "Why are you being so polite with me? You've thanked me so many times today."
"Besides, didn't you already give me a thank-you gift? That robot's trophy design is very unique, I really like it."
He Lingchuan initially found the sight of the two of them holding hands extremely jarring, but then he suddenly heard about the trophy.
His expression froze for a moment, then he hurriedly asked, "What trophy did you say?"
He remembered that the artificial intelligence trophy he received in college was also in the shape of a robot, and it was placed in his study; the only trophy in the entire house that was that shape.
Sure enough, Zhou Mingyan took the trophy out of his bag: "This is it. Xixi told me to pick any one, so I chose this one."
The moment He Lingchuan saw the trophy, his face turned terrifyingly grim!
He strode forward and held out his hand: "This is my thing. I didn't agree to give it to you. Give it back!"
At that moment, he felt a chill in his heart. Shen Yanxi knew perfectly well what this trophy meant to him, yet she had given it away without his consent.
Zhou Mingyan frowned: "There's no reason to take back something you've already given away. It's just a trophy, you don't have to be so stingy."
He Lingchuan didn't want to waste words with him, so he reached out and grabbed the robot's body: "Taking something without asking is stealing, let go!"
He pulled hard toward him, but Zhou Mingyan wouldn't let go.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Shen Yanxi was about to speak up to stop it.
Zhou Mingyan suddenly yanked hard, and the trophy slipped from their hands, crashing to the ground and shattering into several pieces.
He Lingchuan stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, staring in disbelief at the pile of fragments.
Shen Yanxi was also stunned. When she saw He Lingchuan's darkening eyes, she felt inexplicably flustered.
She felt a pang of guilt and whispered, "I'm sorry, this trophy..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mingyan suddenly squatted down to pick up the glass shards, and the next second he gasped.
Shen Yanxi looked down and saw his hand, which was cut by glass. She immediately became nervous and pulled him up from the ground: "How could you be so silly? How could you pick up glass with your bare hands?"
Zhou Mingyan said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I just feel very guilty. I originally wanted to explain things to Mr. He, but I didn't expect him to just come up and snatch it. But in the end, this trophy was broken because of me..."
He paused, then looked even more guilty: "Ever since I arrived, it seems like you two have been arguing constantly. Maybe I should leave and not stay here to affect your relationship."
As he spoke, he made a move to leave.
Shen Yanxi hurriedly stopped him: "What are you saying? Our argument has nothing to do with you. Why are you leaving?"
He Lingchuan snapped out of his daze, suppressing the bitterness spreading in his heart, and said sarcastically, "Yes, you don't need to leave. I'm the one who should leave."
Since they're all medals from the past anyway, let's just consider their breaking as a ceremony for him to say goodbye to the past.
He Lingchuan didn't even glance at Shen Yanxi before turning around and going upstairs to take out his suitcase and start packing.
Actually, he didn't have much stuff; it could barely fit in one suitcase.
As he stood up with his suitcase, he caught a glimpse of the wedding photo hanging above the bed, which was also the only photo of him and Shen Yanxi together.
She always said she didn't like taking pictures, so in five years of marriage, there was only that one photo.
He usually treasures it very much, and he takes it off to wipe it clean from time to time.
He Lingchuan stared at it for a long time, then reached out and took it off, throwing it directly on the ground. The glass frame shattered, scratching the face in the photo.
Then, he pulled out a photo album from the cabinet, which contained photos he had secretly taken of Shen Yanxi over the years.
There are photos of her lost in thought, photos of her falling asleep at her desk after a long day at work; he has photos of her from all sorts of angles.
Without hesitation, He Lingchuan tore everything to shreds and threw the photo album into the trash can.
Only after doing all this did he carry his suitcase downstairs.
Shen Yanxi was facing away from him, carefully and gently bandaging Zhou Mingyan's wounds.
He Lingchuan paused, thinking that he wouldn't be coming back in the future, so he should take this opportunity to make things clear to Shen Yanxi about the divorce, so as to avoid any further complications later.
He stepped forward, about to speak, when Shen Yanxi's phone rang.
She answered the phone; it seemed to be work-related. She frowned and replied, "Okay, I understand. Go over the contract again and send it to me."
After she hung up the phone, He Lingchuan finally spoke: "Yan Xi, about the last time I asked you to sign..."
Shen Yanxi stood up and glanced at him impatiently: "I have something to do right now, and I don't have time to talk to you about those boring things. We can talk about it later."
Then, she bent down and gently told Zhou Mingyan, "Remember not to get the wound wet. I'm going to get back to work now."
Zhou Mingyan smiled and nodded, watching her enter the study.
Once the door closed, Zhou Mingyan revealed his true colors.
He looked He Lingchuan up and down, and couldn't help but sneer: "What a coward! I've already stepped into your home, and you're still standing here. Can't you see that Xixi and your two sons are on my side?"
Zhou Mingyan stood up and approached He Lingchuan step by step: "Hey, you'd better be smart and get a divorce from Xixi right now."
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The one who isn't loved is the mistress,' and you are that mistress now!"
After saying that, He Lingchuan could no longer hold back and punched him in the nose.
