"What are you doing here?"
Xiaohua didn't have a good attitude towards this uninvited guest.
Since they've already broken off relations, there's no need to pretend to be harmonious anymore.
"You're hoping I won't come over, aren't you!"
Xiao Hua opened the door and gestured for Kang An to go in first.
Kang An glanced at He Yan: "Dad, tell Mom I'm going inside to sleep."
After Kang An went inside, Xiao Hua closed the door and turned to look at He Yan with a displeased expression.
"What are you doing here so late at night? Are you here to start a fight with me?"
"I'm here to see the child. Didn't you say I could see the child an unlimited number of times?"
By saying this, he meant that he had given up custody rights, but since Commander He had made the decision, he had no choice but to give it up.
“I did say you can visit the child as many times as you want, but you can’t come over after dark and disturb our rest.”
"Are you resting or out on dates? You can find men, but don't let my daughter recognize other men as her father."
He Yan felt really bad when he thought about how the mother and daughter had gone out with that man and only returned now.
"If you're here to argue with me, you can leave."
Xiaohua was too lazy to argue with him.
"Even if I don't argue with you, I still have to leave. Do you think I can stay here overnight?"
He Yan thought back to how he and she used to be like an ordinary couple, staying here every night. Although they didn't share a bed, they still lived under the same roof.
Now, what kind of mess is this? Not only can I not stay here overnight, but I've also fallen out with her, and our relationship can never go back to what it was before.
When other men pursue women, the relationship gets closer and closer. But when he pursued a woman, well, not only did the relationship not progress, but the woman also threw herself at another man.
He Yan, you are a complete failure!
"Okay, we've had our argument, you can go now. I'm tired and need to go home and rest."
Xiaohua was about to open the door and go inside.
"If you think it's tiring, then go out and date men. I don't think you're tired at all."
These words made Xiaohua both angry and amused.
She deliberately retorted, "When I'm on a date with my boyfriend, I feel refreshed and full of energy. I feel tired even if I say a single word to you."
This was the first time He Yan had heard her utter the words "boyfriend," only the person she was referring to wasn't him.
“I’m here to inform you that from now on I will get up early to take Kang’an to kindergarten, and I will also prepare her breakfast. I will pick her up from school in the evening and prepare dinner. After she finishes eating, I will also do crafts and read stories with her. I will then take her back to bed at night.”
Xiaohua couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Whose custody was it anyway? Why could he arrange it however he wanted?
"It's the unlimited visitation you mentioned. For the healthy growth of the child, this is the best thing to do."
He Yan was about to leave after he finished speaking.
Did I agree?
Xiaohua angrily chased after him, loudly questioning him.
He Yan turned around and said in an unfriendly tone: "You set the rules yourself, so don't go back on your word later. If you do, don't blame me for being impolite. If you piss me off, even my own father can't control me."
He Yan's underlying message is that you're only doing this because my father is on your side.
After He Yan left, Xiao Hua opened the door, went in, and sat on the sofa in the living room, letting out a helpless sigh.
She and He Yan are probably destined to be entangled for life.
She'll ask Kang An for his opinion later!
He Yan is also a man of action; once he makes a decision, he will act on it quickly.
He rented a house downstairs from Xiaohua. Although he couldn't live under the same roof as Xiaohua, at least they could live in the same community, in the same building, or even upstairs and downstairs.
He wasn't deliberately trying to pursue Xiaohua relentlessly. His thinking was that if he had no hope with Xiaohua, then so be it; but his daughter was, after all, his own flesh and blood.
He couldn't possibly be so heartless as to ignore the responsibility of being a father, so he had to take it on. After a period of depression, he rallied again.
Xiao Hua only found out the next day that He Yan had quietly moved to the apartment below hers. What could she say?
It's their skill to be able to rent a place downstairs from hers, and there's nothing she can say about it. Although Kang An didn't say anything, Xiao Hua could tell that she was happy.
This way, she doesn't have to be separated from her mother, and she can play with her father and have him keep her company. After all, children are still young and their minds are simple. She got what she wanted most, so naturally she was happy.
Seeing her daughter's undisguised joy, Xiao Hua stopped arguing with He Yan.
What would Zhou Musheng think if he knew He Yan lived downstairs from her? Would he force her to move?
The mother and daughter had lived in this neighborhood for several years, and moving meant that Kang'an's kindergarten would also have to be changed. Kang'an had been attending this kindergarten for two semesters and had become good friends with the other children in her class. Kindergarten was undoubtedly a source of harm for Kang'an.
To be honest, she really didn't want to move. She had already considered this place her home and had a lot of feelings for it. Besides, even if she moved away with her child, it would ultimately hurt the child. Because of this, He Yan had already taken a step back.
She already felt incredibly guilty towards her daughter, and she didn't want to continue to do so. Besides, her daughter was not even four years old yet, and she was already trying her best to understand and support her as her mother.
Even the relationship between a mother and daughter requires mutual effort. She cannot simply demand that her daughter understand and support her, yet be unwilling to compromise even a little bit for her daughter on certain matters.
Life returned to the way it was before she and He Yan had a falling out, with He Yan taking Kang An to kindergarten every morning.
On the way to kindergarten, He Yan fed the child the breakfast he had prepared in advance, which saved Xiao Hua a lot of trouble.
He Yan also picks up the child after school in the evening. After picking her up, He Yan takes her back to his home to play with her, cooks for her, feeds her, washes her up, and then delivers her upstairs to Xiao Hua at 8 o'clock sharp.
Kang An is very satisfied with her current life, because this way she can spend time with her father during the day and sleep with her mother at night.
One time, half asleep and half awake, she asked her mother in a daze, "Can this kind of life continue forever?"
Although she loves her mother the most, she also likes her father very much and hopes that he can spend some time with her every day.
After all, other children in the class have their fathers with them every day, so why can't she?
Little Flower kissed his forehead and said to her, "Yes, baby."
Xiao Hua can only hope that Mu Sheng will find out later that He Yan lives downstairs from her.
