They were arguing so loudly that the two children woke up at some point.
Nan Chen rubbed his eyes, stood behind He Lingchuan, and looked at Shen Yanxi with a surprised expression: "Mom, what are you arguing about?"
Zhou Mingyan stepped forward and squatted down in front of the two children. He spoke gently, coaxing them, "Nanchen and Beichen, don't be afraid. Uncle is here to take you back to sleep."
As he spoke, Zhou Mingyan tried to take the two children away.
Nan Chen shook off his hand, frowned, and asked in a childish voice, "I want to live with Daddy."
The children haven't seen He Lingchuan in a long time, and now that they finally have a chance to be together, they'll definitely stick to him.
Shen Yanxi frowned, feeling that something was not right.
She crouched down and asked the two children, "You said you wanted to sleep with Daddy?"
"kindness."
The two children nodded together, and He Lingchuan took the opportunity to ask them, "Nanchen and Beichen, tell your mother, did you come to find your father yourselves?"
"Yes, we came because we wanted to sleep with Daddy."
The two children spoke in unison, their eyes filled with confusion as they looked at Shen Yanxi.
"Mom, didn't you ask us to come and find Dad and ask him to stay?"
After Nan Chen finished speaking, He Lingchuan and Zhou Mingyan both looked at the person squatting in the middle.
Zhou Mingyan looked astonished. His eyes widened, and he subconsciously grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand, wanting her to give him an explanation: "Xixi, what Nan Chen said, is it true?"
Did she really send the children to find He Lingchuan?
Does she want He Lingchuan to stay?
Shen Yanxi lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed.
Not wanting to upset Zhou Mingyan, she blurted out in desperation, "Yes, if he leaves, who will take care of our child?"
Shen Yanxi raised her head, brushed the hair in front of Zhou Mingyan's eyes, and curled the corners of her lips into a smile that looked very forced: "Mingyan, have you misunderstood me?"
Zhou Mingyan's eyes were full of doubt. He gripped Shen Yanxi's hand tighter and tighter, asking her to confirm, "Is that really true? Xixi, if you still want to be with He Lingchuan, I'm willing to grant your wish."
He selflessly pushed Shen Yanxi away, turned his face to the side, and deliberately showed a wronged expression: "I can leave you, as long as you can be happy, I will do anything."
Shen Yanxi was still hesitating whether to take this opportunity to keep He Lingchuan with her completely.
But seeing Zhou Mingyan's appearance, she ultimately couldn't bear it.
She was unwilling to give up on Zhou Mingyan. She had waited for so long, how could she push him away with her own hands?
Shen Yanxi walked to Zhou Mingyan's side, took his arm, and, ignoring He Lingchuan watching from the side, firmly assured him, "I don't want you to leave. If you leave, my life will have no meaning."
He Lingchuan listened to her vow and shook his head with amusement: "How devoted."
He clapped as he approached the two of them: "Since you like each other so much, why don't you get married?"
He Lingchuan's lips twitched, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Shen Yanxi, since you think Nanchen and Beichen are a burden to you, why don't you just give the children to me? That would save them from having to go to the hospital every other day."
"You're dreaming."
Shen Yanxi hurriedly stepped out of Zhou Mingyan's arms, pulled the two children over, and shielded them behind her: "Don't even think about harming my children."
"Me, having designs on the child?"
He Lingchuan found it amusing: "Look closely, it's you who doesn't want them now. You personally told me to take care of the children. Isn't that treating them as a burden? What else could it be?"
He Lingchuan's gaze fell on the children: "They don't have any feelings for you anymore. I think you should just hand the children over to me now, while you're still young and can have another one."
He Lingchuan's words were full of sarcasm. He seriously suggested, "I'm not you. I will definitely let you take care of the child, so you don't need to worry about the child not recognizing you."
He Lingchuan squatted down and looked into the eyes of the two children: "Nanchen, Beichen, would you like to come with your father?"
"I do."
Without a second thought, Bei Chen raised his head and actually asked Shen Yanxi, "Mom, I want to be with Dad."
"no."
Shen Yanxi refused his request without hesitation.
At this moment, Shen Yanxi truly felt a sense of crisis.
She knelt down and hugged the two children in her arms: "Mommy will not give you to anyone."
After saying this, she told Zhou Mingyan to take the child away, while she stayed behind to confront He Lingchuan.
The large room was now empty except for the two of them. Shen Yanxi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
She looked at He Lingchuan calmly and said, "He Lingchuan, don't push your luck. I might agree to let you find a stepmother for the children."
stepmother?
He Lingchuan frowned and asked her the same question: "Cao Xue and I only exchanged a few words, and she's become your stepmother? If that's the case, then what are you and Zhou Mingyan? What gives you the right to yell at me like that?"
Shen Yanxi was rendered speechless by his retort and simply stopped saying a word.
She turned her head away and left without hesitation. Before leaving, she whispered a warning to He Lingchuan: "I'm only giving you one chance. You'd better make the most of it."
Watching Shen Yanxi's departing figure, He Lingchuan punched the wall.
If it weren't for the children, why would he put up with this?
He Lingchuan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
He didn't come downstairs until more than ten minutes later.
He Lingchuan inevitably met Shen Yanxi's eyes. He paused for a moment and then took the initiative to say, "I'll take the child to school in a bit."
Shen Yanxi subconsciously wanted to object, but after seeing He Lingchuan's eyes, she changed her mind for some reason: "Okay."
She turned to look at Zhou Mingyan: "Let him go in a bit, we'll go to the company."
Zhou Mingyan was dressing the child when he heard this and put his hand down.
He frowned, looking puzzled, and asked Shen Yanxi, "Can he really do it? Xixi, aren't you afraid he'll kidnap the children?"
Zhou Mingyan is currently trying hard to please the two children, because of He Lingchuan, the two children are slowly distancing themselves from him.
In order to be with Shen Yanxi, he had to keep the two children happy.
"You're all in control, which way am I supposed to turn?"
He Lingchuan's eyes were full of mockery. He had no intention of eating breakfast. He casually placed the bowl handed to him by the butler on the table, picked up the two children's schoolbags, and said, "Let's go."
Nan Chen and Bei Chen glanced at Shen Yanxi, and seeing that she wasn't angry, they followed He Lingchuan away.
After getting into the car, He Lingchuan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking them, "Do you want to leave your mother?"
