Liu Anran glanced at Qin Yuhan and saw that she was still in a daze holding the marriage certificate, her face full of disbelief and a little dejected. She couldn't accept the fact that Qin Ruixu's mother was not a mistress.
Liu Anran's eyes flickered, then she looked at Chu Yunxiao and said, "Let's talk outside!"
Chu Yunxiao nodded slightly and said to Grandma Chu, "Grandma, please help me persuade my mother. The past is the past. Most of the people who knew about the Qin family's secrets are dead. Even if a few people do know, they wouldn't dare to gossip."
"I will talk to your mother, and you and An Ran should have a good talk," Grandma Chu said.
Liu Anran and Chu Yunxiao came into the yard and smiled as they watched the four children playing happily there.
She hopes her children can always live a carefree and happy life like they do now!
Chu Yunxiao knew that he hadn't seen his child for too long, and the child had become distant from him, which made him feel helpless.
“An Ran, it’s not that I don’t want to visit you, I have my reasons.”
“I know, I understand, you don’t need to explain to me.”
Liu Anran is no longer interested in Chu Yunxiao's explanation, nor does she care; she has become accustomed to raising four children on her own.
Seeing Liu Anran's cold attitude towards him, Chu Yunxiao's heart sank.
"Did something I said to your uncle make you angry?" Chu Yunxiao asked.
Liu Anran looked at the clouds floating in the distance, which were painted with colorful colors by the setting sun. She smiled calmly and said, "I'm not angry. I am indeed not a good wife or a good daughter-in-law. I have no words to say if you have resentment towards me. It's not too late to cut your losses now. Go find the girl you like. I can live a good life with my four children on my own."
Liu Anran sighed and said, "Perhaps our beginning was a mistake."
Chu Yunxiao stared at Liu Anran, his face showing injury and a hint of anger.
"Liu Anran, you just say you want to break up, what do you take me for?"
When Liu Anran was questioned by Chu Yunxiao, a faint sneer appeared on her face.
"Chu Yunxiao, I don't know how you have the nerve to get angry in front of me. Where do you get the confidence?"
“You said you would protect me and the child, but you didn’t. You said you would live in seclusion with me in the mountains and take care of the child together, but you didn’t do that either.”
“You can’t let go of your brothers, you want to realize your ambitions, and I didn’t stop you. You complain that I’m unwilling to return to the Beijing base, that I can’t be by your side, that I can’t let your mother enjoy her grandchildren. Don’t you have any self-awareness about why I don’t want to return to the Beijing base?”
“Your family has left me and my child living amidst gossip and slander, and you've turned a deaf ear to people pointing fingers at and insulting my child. What right do you have to criticize me and complain about me? Do you even deserve to be here?”
"What, does your Chu family think that just because I'm an orphan, you can disregard my feelings?"
"I have a spatial ability and superpowers, why should I suffer in your Chu family? Does your Chu family have a throne to inherit? Even if your Chu family has a throne to inherit, I don't care. Whoever wants it can take it."
Liu Anran finally let out all the words she had been holding back for so long.
Chu Yunxiao knew that Liu Anran harbored resentment towards him. He thought that so much time had passed and she had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect that she was still holding a grudge.
"An Ran, those things are in the past. Wouldn't it be better to let bygones be bygones?"
Liu Anran looked coldly at Chu Yunxiao, "The past cannot be recalled, but I will not repeat the same mistakes. You have no credibility with me anymore."
"If you don't think about the children themselves, don't you even think about them? Can you bear to see four children without a father?"
Liu Anran was surprised that Chu Yunxiao would bring up the children. Her face darkened with anger, and she said sarcastically, "These past two years you've treated this house like a hotel, staying there for a couple of days whenever you feel like it. Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? It seems like there's no difference between you being here and the four children being here or not."
“If you weren’t always staying in the mountains, I would often stay by their side and fulfill the responsibilities of a father,” Chu Yunxiao said.
Liu Anran didn't want to continue arguing with Chu Yunxiao. "Who is right and who is wrong is no longer important. I will stay at the Beijing base. You can visit them often. If they wish, you can also bring them back to the Chu family for a short stay. As for our relationship, there is no need to continue."
Looking at Liu Anran's cold and resolute expression, Chu Yunxiao asked painfully, "Are you really going to leave me?"
“Yes, I’m not willing to compromise anymore, and I don’t want to continue this relationship with you,” Liu Anran said firmly.
Chu Yunxiao refused to accept it and was unwilling to confront Liu Anran. He evasively said, "I know you're still angry with me. You were just saying those things in anger. Calm down for a while, and then we can have a proper talk."
After saying this, Chu Yunxiao quickly walked towards the four children. His top priority now was to build a good relationship with them, try his best to win back their hearts, and save the family from breaking apart.
