Looking at Chu Yunxiao's stubborn expression, Liu Anran asked helplessly, "Chu Yunxiao, aren't you worried about your family and friends?"
Chu Yunxiao stood up, pulled Liu Anran up, and looked down at her. "I'm worried about them, but I can't let go of you and the child either. Without you and the child, I can't muster any interest in doing anything."
"An Ran, take me into the space to see the children, I miss them."
Chu Yunxiao is the father of four children. Liu Anran could not prevent them from meeting, so she could only take Chu Yunxiao into the space.
Yunlong was playing with Heipi when he saw Chu Yunxiao enter the space and was immediately stunned. His father had come to find them with Heipi.
Chu Yunxiao walked up to Yunlong and saw only surprise on Yunlong's face, not joy. His mood became heavy.
When Yunlong saw Chu Yunxiao come to him, he only glanced at her silently before lowering his head to look at the ground. He didn't want to talk to Chu Yunxiao right now.
Liu Anran glanced at Yunlong and Chu Yunxiao, who were looking at each other in silence, and felt a heavy weight in her heart. She turned around to check on the triplets and saw that they were all sleeping. Then she turned around to start a fire and began to cook.
Chu Yunxiao squatted down, looked at the silent Yunlong, and asked in a low voice, "Yunlong, do you hate your father? Do you not want to see your father? Are you angry with your father?"
Yunlong looked up at Chu Yunxiao and said, "I don't hate you, and I don't like you. I don't care whether you come to see me and Mom or not, because without you, Mom, my younger brother and sister and I are all doing just fine."
Yunlong pointed to the hanging meat as he spoke, “Look, we have more meat, more grain and vegetables than we can eat, and even more fruit than we can eat. We won’t starve to death if we don’t rely on the Chu family. It doesn’t matter if we have a father or not, and we won’t be laughed at by others.”
"Dad, Mom is very capable. She won't let me, my brother, and my sister go hungry, and she will protect us. I will also help Mom take care of my brother and sister. I will not go back to the Chu family with you. I hate the Chu family, and I will not be a leech who stays in the Chu family."
Yunlong's words struck Chu Yunxiao's heart like a heavy hammer. His indifference and inaction had disappointed Yunlong.
"Yunlong, your father has his own reasons, you must understand him," Chu Yunxiao said.
Yunlong's mind flashed back to Wu Qingbi's disdainful gaze and her words. Her innocent eyes held a hint of hurt as she looked at Chu Yunxiao and said, "Dad, I don't know what your unavoidable difficulties are. I just feel that you don't love me, you don't love Mom, you don't love my brother and sister. That's why you watch me being ridiculed and see people talking badly about Mom everywhere."
Listening to Yunlong's accusations, Chu Yunxiao said, "Yunlong, Dad knows he was wrong and will definitely change in the future. Besides, your great-uncle has already punished those who gossiped, so no one will talk nonsense anymore."
Yunlong looked at Chu Yunxiao strangely, "What does it have to do with you that your great-uncle stood up for us? It's not like you stood up for us. If Mom and I want to thank someone, it's our great-uncle. It has nothing to do with you."
Chu Yunxiao was speechless after Yunlong's retort. He stood up with a gloomy expression, his face filled with frustration and sadness. He patted Yunlong's head and sighed, "Yunlong, Dad will definitely take better care of you from now on and won't let you suffer any more grievances."
Yunlong pursed his lips. Chu Yunxiao had said something similar before, and he already believed Chu Yunxiao's words.
Chu Yunxiao felt bitter looking at Yunlong's indifferent expression.
Liu Anran heard every word Yunlong and Chu Yunxiao said. She turned to look at Yunlong, knowing that he harbored resentment towards Chu Yunxiao.
Chu Yunxiao came to the crib and saw that the triplets were already awake, their eyes darting around, and he felt a surge of joy.
"An Ran, the child is awake," Chu Yunxiao said to Liu An Ran.
Liu Anran quickly washed her hands, walked briskly to the crib, picked up Chu Feng, and said to Chu Yunxiao, "You smell terrible, go take a bath."
Chu Yunxiao looked at the triplets with reluctance. Seeing that they were fair-skinned, cute, and beautiful, his mood instantly improved, and he happily went to take a bath.
Yunlong came to Liu Anran's side and asked softly, "Mom, are we going home with Dad?"
Without looking up, Liu Anran changed Chu Feng's diaper and answered Yunlong, "I'm not going back. I'm staying here for a long time and won't be leaving anytime soon."
Upon hearing this, Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Liu Anran would lead them back to the Chu family with Chu Yunxiao.
Liu Anran heard Yunlong let out a sigh of relief, then looked up at him and asked, "Do you really hate going back to the Chu family that much? Don't you miss your great-uncle, your great-grandmother, and your grandmother?"
Yunlong said, "I also want to talk about my great-uncle and great-grandmother, but I don't want people to gossip about me."
Liu Anran paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and asked in bewilderment, "Don't you miss your grandmother? She was good to you?"
Yunlong leaned closer to Liu Anran and whispered, "I heard Grandma complaining to Great-Grandma that you are good in every way, except that your family background is too poor and you don't have a maternal family to help your father. If your family conditions were better and you had a family background like Tan Qi's, you would be perfect."
"I don't think Grandma truly loves us."
Liu Anran raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with interest, "What did your great-grandmother say?"
Yunlong said, "Great-grandmother said that after the apocalypse, women's fertility will decrease, and there will be very few newborns in the base. You have given birth to children for the Chu family, allowing the Chu family bloodline to continue. You are a great contributor to the Chu family. Moreover, you are also a superhuman. She told Grandma not to ask too much of you and not to give you a hard time."
Qin Yuhan looked at her with regret in her eyes. Liu Anran had never known what she was regretting, but now that Yunlong had told her, she understood. It turned out that she was regretting that she was an orphan!
