Chu Yunxiao felt heavy-hearted. Had he not cared enough about Liu Anran and neglected her feelings, causing a rift in their relationship?
Che Chuyun returned to the room and saw Yunlong standing by the crib.
When Yunlong saw Chu Yunxiao, he only glanced at him before indifferently looking away, his eyes filled with distance.
Chu Yunxiao's heart tightened suddenly, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face. When exactly did his wife and children start to change their attitude towards him? How come he hadn't noticed?
Chu Yunxiao walked to Yunlong's side, looked at the crib, where the three babies in swaddling clothes were sleeping peacefully, with faint smiles on their faces.
"Yunlong, do you like younger brothers and sisters?"
Yunlong looked at Chu Yunxiao and said, "Of course I like the younger brother and sister that Mom gave birth to. Don't you like Dad?"
"Or does Daddy prefer children born to other women?"
Chu Yunxiao's expression darkened. "Yunlong, do you have some misunderstanding about your father?"
Yunlong looked aggrieved and said sadly, "Dad, don't you like Bailu? She is your true love. After she has your child, she will kick me, my brother, my sister, and Mom out of the house. You don't even have children yet, but you already dislike us."
Chu Yunxiao frowned and asked, "Yunlong, who told me all this?"
“Wang Li, Xiao Ming and the others, and even a few aunties, all told me to tell my mother to be sensible and take us away quickly, instead of staying at the Chu family’s place.” Yunlong said, choking back tears.
Chu Yunxiao's heart sank. He didn't know any of this. If he had, he would have stopped it.
"Yunlong, Daddy won't abandon you," Chu Yunxiao assured him.
Yunlong lowered his head and remained silent.
Liu Anran'er's eyelids twitched, and a tear slid down her cheek. Her Yunlong had been wronged.
Chu Yunxiao glanced at Liu Anran, who was fast asleep on the bed, and quickly walked out of the room.
Yunlong glanced at his younger brother and sister, walked closer to Liu Anran's bedside, reached out and took Liu Anran's hand, holding it tightly.
"Mom, I don't like Dad anymore."
“Mom, I’m not a mangy dog, I’m not going to stay at the Chu family’s house forever.”
"Mom, I don't like it here, and Uncle doesn't want to take us in either. Let's leave, okay?"
Liu Anran opened her eyes and replied with tears in her eyes, "Okay, Mom will take you and your brother and sister away from here."
Liu Anran shouldn't have interfered in the main couple's love life. She really wanted to fight for the four children, but things didn't go as planned. Chu Yunxiao and Bai Lu still got involved, and Bai Lu's shadow was everywhere in Chu Yunxiao's life. The plot couldn't be changed!
Yunlong looked surprised to see Liu Anran awake.
Liu Anran sat up, gave him a reassuring smile, reached out and hugged Yunlong into her arms, and said softly, "After Mommy finishes her postpartum confinement, I will take you, your younger brother and sister and leave. We won't stay with the Chu family anymore. We'll leave the Beijing base and go to a place where there is no Chu family."
"Really? You can't bear to leave your father?" Yunlong asked.
“Even if I’m reluctant, I have to let go. Mom doesn’t want to be a scoundrel and be disliked by everyone,” Liu Anran said.
Yunlong asked with a worried look, "Mom, it's so dangerous outside, where can we go?"
Liu Anran said firmly, "Yunlong, we can't always rely on others. Self-reliance is the way to survive. Besides, the world is vast, and anywhere can be home. We have superpowers and a spatial ability, so we can live wherever we go."
Liu Anran then added, "Don't tell anyone we're leaving, including your great-uncle, okay?"
“Yes, I know. My great-uncle and my father are a family, as are my brother, sister, and mother,” Yunlong said.
Liu Anran was shocked by Yunlong's words and felt a mix of emotions.
Chu Yunxiao went downstairs and sat down next to Qin Ruixu. With a bitter expression on his face, he said with annoyance, "I only now realize that in Yunlong's heart, I would kick the mother and her four children out of the house."
Qin Ruixu reminded him expressionlessly, "You shouldn't be saying these things to me here. You should warn those who are spreading rumors to stop the damage in time and not let the rumors spread and cause trouble for your wife and children."
"I'll investigate, but let me have some time first," Chu Yunxiao said irritably.
Qin Rui glanced coldly at Chu Yunxiao, then calmly looked away.
Liu Anran drank a cup of spiritual spring water, took out a large bag of fruit and vegetables, and said softly to Yunlong, "My great-uncle often helps us. He drove us back today. Take this bag of fruit to my great-uncle."
"From today onwards, you must cultivate diligently and not go out anymore."
"Mom, I understand," Yunlong said obediently.
“Go ahead!” Liu Anran said with a smile.
Yunlong carried the bag out of the room, went downstairs, and walked up to Qin Ruixu. "Uncle, you drove us home today. This is a thank-you gift from my mother."
Qin Ruixu picked up the bag and said gently, "Please thank your mother for me."
“Mom said you often help us, so it’s only right to give you something in return,” Yunlong said.
Qin Ruixu smiled and placed the bag on the coffee table.
Yunlong glanced at Chu Yunxiao, then turned and left the living room to go play with Heipi in the yard.
"Yunxiao, I envy you for having a lovely child and a beautiful wife. Your life now is the life I've always dreamed of. You should cherish what you have."
After finishing his sentence, Qin Ruixu picked up the bag and left the Chu family. He had said all he needed to say, but Chu Yunxiao remained obstinate and continued to befriend Bai Lu, leaving Qin Ruixu with no way to change his mind.
