Jiang Xiaoxin felt that she hadn't said anything wrong, but why did everyone look like they had seen a ghost?
Also, why did her brother cover her little mouth?
Now she can't speak anymore, and my boyfriend is really annoying!
Jiang Xiaoshu didn't know what he was thinking. Although he was usually calm and collected, he was only three years old. This situation was really beyond his comprehension.
However, it's definitely the right thing to tell your sister to shut up.
So no matter how much his silly little sister complained with her eyes, he unusually insisted on his own opinion and wouldn't let go!
Jiang Xiaoxin was about to cry: Waaah, please let go, bro! She had to go check on Xiao Xuanxuan!
They had no idea the storm was coming; this was the calm before the storm!
Of the three adults who looked like they'd seen a ghost, Jiang Wan was the first to react.
She looked Cheng Zhen up and down expressionlessly, then pointed at the twins and asked bluntly, "Are you their father?"
Cheng Zhen instinctively felt a tightening in her waist, abdomen, and throat, and managed to suppress it so as not to make a sound.
He looked at the woman in front of him with complicated emotions. She...didn't she recognize him?
Jiang Wan didn't hear his response for a while, and couldn't help but frown: "Didn't you give birth to them and then abandon them?"
Cheng Zhen frowned, unable to utter a single "no" for a long time. Everything had happened too suddenly, and he hadn't figured out many things, so he couldn't deny it with his conscience.
Yu Fen chuckled, "You're quite the funny woman. Our captain is a real man, how could he have two kids like this?"
Jiang Wan nodded: "It's not impossible."
After all, before the apocalypse, human medicine and science were already very advanced, and men giving birth was no longer a technical problem.
Yu Fen choked, feeling that this woman's words and attitude were like carrying a thorn, extremely impolite.
Jiang Wan looked at the twins. The older brother looked wary and repulsed, while the younger sister, who had been struggling, had quieted down. The two little ones looked at her pitifully, then at the man who looked exactly like them with great vigilance.
Cheng Zhen finally came to his senses, but he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his heart was stuffed with cotton.
He swallowed hard before finding his voice: "Don't they have a father?"
Jiang Wan nodded calmly.
The two little ones screamed wildly, "We don't want our dad!"
Even the usually calm and collected older twin brother couldn't help but get emotional at this moment.
The younger sister was even more upset. She threw off her brother's hand, turned around and threw herself onto her mother, tightly hugging her mother's leg with her little hands, tilting her head back, and then bursting into tears without restraint.
"Waaah, Mommy! Mommy, don't you want us anymore? Waaah, Xinxin will be good, Xinxin will listen to Mommy from now on! Mommy, don't send Xinxin away! Waaah, Xinxin wants to stay with Mommy, I want Mommy, waaah, I want Mommy!"
In no time, the little girl was crying uncontrollably, her face turning a deep purple-red, her eyes bloodshot. It was clear that she was extremely agitated and terrified.
The older brother silently walked to her side. Perhaps twins really do have a telepathic connection. He opened his arms and hugged his sister and mother's legs, silently shedding tears.
Jiang Wan looked down, her heart aching terribly. She bent over, stroking the back of one child with each hand.
She sighed. Everything had happened so suddenly that the two children had no time to process it.
So when she looked up at Cheng Zhen again, her gaze was filled with accusation and dissatisfaction: "Since they are your bloodline, how could you give birth to them and then throw them away?"
She paused, then asked, "Where is the child's mother? Whether you abandoned the child, or you abandoned the mother first and then the mother abandoned them, neither of you deserves to be parents!"
For some reason, before the apocalypse, her only thought was to find the twins' biological father, have him take the two children away, and give herself some peace and quiet.
But after dying once and spending so many days with the two little ones in the apocalypse, her initial idea of sending them back to their biological parents seems to be quietly changing.
At this moment, she felt a deep-seated aversion to exchanging the twins with such irresponsible parents!
After scolding the older one, she continued to comfort the younger one, gently soothing the two little ones who were on the verge of collapse: "Sweethearts, we won't cry. Xinxin isn't afraid, and Xiaoshu isn't afraid either. Mommy won't let such an irresponsible daddy take you away. Let's go home now, okay?"
His attitude was remarkably warm and gentle, a rare sight indeed.
This only made the two little ones cry even harder. "Waaah, Mommy definitely doesn't want them anymore. This is her last act of kindness towards them, waaaah..."
Yu Fen stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He considered himself quite clever and figured out the gist of it: "What happened? Did you pick up these twins?"
Jiang Wan frowned, raised her head, and gave him a cold glance.
Is this person mentally unstable?
I've explained it so clearly, yet he still doesn't understand. How did someone so stupid even get into the city's guard?
"No..." Yu Fen felt he needed to sort things out, but he couldn't make heads or tails of it for the time being.
Cheng Zhen, who had already processed his various emotions, took a few steps closer to the mother and her two children. Seeing the two little ones cowering in fear and sobbing, he finally stopped two or three steps in front of them.
Then, looking directly at Jiang Wan, he asked, "Your name is Jiang Wan? Are you a botanist?"
Jiang Wan was taken aback, then looked at him warily, her gaze cold: "You investigated me?"
Yu Fen finally snapped out of his daze and remembered the important matter. He quickly turned on the positioning system on his body, and the signal was locked onto the phone watches on the twins.
Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes, then put her arms around one of them and slowly backed into the car.
Cheng Zhen noticed her wariness and nervousness, and his gaze darkened.
She's not living a good life, that's why she has such a keen sense of vigilance...
He tried to appear approachable and said, "We live in an apocalyptic world with a lack of oxygen. As a botanist, you should know that our entire world's ecosystem, especially the air and plants, is facing serious problems. Therefore, we need your help."
As he spoke, he took out a list to show her: "This is our talent recruitment notice. It's not that I'm investigating you; it's that you're already in our talent pool system."
But Jiang Wan's aversion did not lessen; instead, it seemed as if she had erected sharp thorns all over her body. She coldly refused, "I am not the person you are looking for. There are so many botanists; go find them. I can't help you!"

Ahem, our Captain Cheng is so pitiful. The female lead doesn't recognize him, and the twins don't want him. Ahem, suddenly his position as the male lead seems a bit unstable...
