Throughout the journey, Yan Lin would occasionally glance at the woman sitting beside him.
Her appearance has changed, but her true nature seems to have remained the same.
The first time he saw her, he felt a deep sense of familiarity.
Although Ye Ting kept rambling on and on, he didn't listen to a word. Words like "child," "sleeping," and "going crazy" floated by but didn't penetrate his mind.
He only wanted to stay with Zhizhi.
I don't want to be apart for even a second.
The car drove directly into the forest park.
He made a phone call to the military region and asked Zou Xiaozhou to take over his position and arrange his work. He would need a long vacation for the next period of time.
Several leaders were puzzled, but he offered no explanation.
His usual style was familiar to the several old leaders in Haicheng, so they didn't ask any further questions and simply agreed.
Yan Lin put down the phone and took his wife back to the bedroom.
In the master bedroom, where no one is allowed to enter, there is an urn containing ashes on Yan Lin's bed.
It's a bit of a shock.
Ye Ting had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he had seen it, and he felt completely speechless.
"Did you even hear me?" he finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Along the way, he talked until his mouth was dry, recounting everything from back then, but Yan Lin didn't utter a single word, his eyes glued to Man Zhi.
Back at the garden, he led Manzhi by the hand all the way into the bedroom, tidied the bed, took the urn out, and then took her hand to help her to bed.
Manzhi, who has always disliked strangers, obediently went to bed as if she were used to being taken care of by Yan Lin. She then skillfully lay down and looked at Yan Lin from her side.
"ha--"
She yawned and fell asleep instantly.
A short while later, the two men heard regular breathing sounds.
She fell asleep.
Like a little pig.
Ye Ting was both amused and exasperated.
He had no choice but to reach out and grab Yan Lin, dragging him into the living room, pressing him down into a chair, and whispering in his ear, "Yan Lin, I'm talking to you—"
At least say something.
This is driving me crazy!
He revealed Qiqi's true identity, but he didn't announce it to the world. Besides, Manzhi's face has changed. To make people accept this fact, they probably need to know the truth of what happened back then.
We can't just let Manzhi move into the forest without any clear understanding of what's going on.
After my daughter goes out into the world, will she still be able to face people?
"Oh, I heard you, Dad." Yan Lin.
What?
What what what?
Ye Ting's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out.
He didn't hear wrong, did he?
This brat takes advantage of any opportunity he gets.
What's going on? He started calling me "Dad" the moment he opened his mouth.
Ye Ting was both annoyed and amused by Yan Lin's antics.
He said seriously, "You mean—"
"It's exactly what you think."
"I... I thought so. You're not a tapeworm in my stomach."
"Forget about the roundworms. I'll go to the Ye family tomorrow to propose marriage. I'll ask Zhizhi to marry me again as Ye Qiqi."
Yan Lin revealed Ye Ting's thoughts.
Now it was Ye Ting's turn to remain silent.
He knew that taking the initiative would never lead to anything good.
Originally, we could have watched this brat get flustered by Zhou Meng, looking as lost and confused as an idiot, but before he could even speak, Yan Lin had already seized the initiative.
Pooh.
They even started calling him "Dad".
He underestimated Yan Lin's shamelessness.
I regret it now.
Ye Ting patted Yan Lin on the shoulder and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Yan Lin. The sky was gradually brightening, revealing the brat's handsome face and sharp eyes.
He reminded her, "Don't forget, Manzhi still has children."
child?
Yan Lin didn't care at all.
He said calmly, "After I marry Zhizhi, the child will take my surname, Yan."
"you--"
Ye Ting was so angry he wanted to curse.
He realized that Yan Lin wasn't just being pushy; he was pushing himself to the limit.
Damn it.
The brat tried to take away the six members of the Ye family as soon as he opened his mouth.
That's incredibly greedy.
Ye Ting waved his hand dismissively: "Hmph, you wait and see. If they don't agree, you can keep dreaming."
What is that?
He only gave him the truth, but didn't promise to give it to anyone else.
Ye Ting stormed back to his rented courtyard.
After he gathered the Ye family members for an emergency meeting, he recounted everything that had happened the previous night, and said that the entire Ye family was shocked when Manzhi spoke.
Even late at night, Lili said bitterly, "Mom likes other men and doesn't love Lili anymore. She hasn't said a single word to me..."
The mother I've been protecting so carefully has been taken away by someone else.
His small heart couldn't take it for a second.
Ye Yuan'er clapped her hands in delight.
She chuckled and said, "Uncle Mei is very nice. He can cook, do laundry, and even help Qiqi start talking. Maybe after a while, Qiqi will be fully recovered without needing any medicine."
Anyway, she didn't like Zhou Meng.
"I agree." Night Battle Man pondered for a moment before giving his opinion.
Liu Zhaodi nodded as well.
She had never heard Zhizhi speak or eat properly. If Yan Lin could take good care of her, that would be better than anything else.
“Okay, let’s call everyone else over. Let’s look around Haicheng and see if we can buy a house there and settle down,” Ye Ting said.
"good."
The man who works at night is in charge of finding a house.
Liu Zhaodi takes care of two children.
Ye Ting went to send a telegram.
However, they all forgot one person.
The next day around noon, Zhou Meng rushed into the Ye family's rented room, carrying several lunchboxes. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "I made it! I made it! Qiqi, come and try it!"
He searched inside and out.
There wasn't a soul in the house.
This is truly baffling.
As he was looking dejected and preparing to leave, he encountered several people returning from outside.
Ye Qiqi, Ye Lili, Ye Yuan'er, and Yan Lin, who is particularly glaring.
He rushed to Ye Qiqi, held up the aluminum box in his hand, and said excitedly, "These are the dumplings I made. Many people have tried them, and everyone said they tasted good. I specially made a new batch for you."
Making dumplings is too much work.
The dough is either too thick or it tears when rolled out; the dumplings either stick together or the filling leaks out when cooked; the meat filling is also particularly difficult to handle. If the proportions are wrong or the cooking method is wrong, the meat filling will fall apart.
He tried for a long time and finally succeeded.
At one point, he felt that cooking was harder than doing scientific research.
Ye Qiqi hasn't answered yet.
A little head stepped in front of him and blocked his way. The little girl put her hands on her hips and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. From now on, you don't need to learn to cook anymore. You'll naturally have a handsome uncle."
Zhou Meng was stunned.
He doesn't understand.
What does this mean?
He has already proposed to the Ye family, and they are preparing the betrothal gifts and arranging the wedding for him.
How can a marriage accommodate three people?
Unless the extra one is a child.
He's not that magnanimous.
