For a man to treat someone else's flesh and blood as his own for so many years without wanting his own children, such affection is undoubtedly great.
But this still cannot change the fact that the two people were immoral in the first place.
Yi An suddenly thought of a question: if what happened back then hadn't been discovered, would Su Yan be happy now?
He turned to look at her. In the streetlights, her eyelids were lowered, her eyelashes trembled gently, and her brows were full of melancholy.
By the time Yi An drove back to Su Yan's new home, it was already midnight.
He turned to call Su Yan, only to find that she had fallen asleep sometime earlier.
As she slept, she shed her hard shell, looking as soft and harmless as a little rabbit, which made Yi An fall deeper into her arms.
Yi An carefully approached her, his fingers just about to tentatively touch her furrowed brows, when Su Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
She glanced warily at Yi An's fingers, and icy words escaped her lips: "What do you want to do?"
Yi An felt a little guilty under her gaze, but she forced herself to appear confident and smoothed out her brows.
"Don't frown when you're sleeping."
Su Yan felt the warmth between her brows, paused for a moment, then said coldly and sarcastically, "Isn't this all thanks to you?"
Yi An couldn't understand what she was saying.
Su Yan further explained, "If you hadn't invited them to the wedding on your own, none of this would have happened."
Yi An quickly retorted, "I just think that if they don't come, you won't even have any family members to accompany you on your wedding day, and you'll definitely feel very disappointed."
Su Yan glanced at him and said, "You're so self-righteous."
She said those words, turned around, and got out of the car.
Yi An followed and got out of the car. "Su Yan, can't you be less stubborn? Just say what you think. Why do you have to hurt others with your words?"
When he caught up with her, his words softened.
"Let me help you carry the child upstairs."
Su Yan showed no appreciation whatsoever, and directly opened the car door to wake the two children.
"They're all so grown up now, it's time for them to take responsibility for their own lives."
Yi An: "Su Yan! Can you please stop taking our anger out on the child!"
Awakened, Yi Kangle vaguely heard the argument around him. He couldn't hear what they were arguing about, but he did hear one sentence: "What should he bear?"
He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What? Another complete childhood?"
Looking at his frightened little face, Yi'an couldn't help but turn her anger into laughter, and she couldn't muster any more anger.
Su Yan pursed her lips, wrapped the two children in her clothes, and carried them out of the car.
She held their hands, and as she passed Yi'an, she deliberately paused for a moment.
She turned her head and said, "Don't worry about that. I won't take my anger out on the child, but I will take it out on you. Just be careful."
Yi An watched the three figures disappear from her sight, and she really didn't know what to say.
"I'm just so unlucky!"
The next morning, Yi Kangle was still half asleep when he woke up, thinking about the words "complete childhood".
He behaved exceptionally well. He not only dressed himself but also ate his meal cleanly. He waved goodbye to Su Yan and skipped and hopped to kindergarten, holding Su Xiaoyu's hand.
He seemed afraid to experience a complete childhood.
After dropping off her child, Su Yan drove directly to Ye Mei's house.
As Su Yan said, only Ye Mei went with them.
On the way, Ye Mei was still very uneasy, and kept telling Su Yan: "As long as Zhiming has a good attitude and realizes his mistake, we can just teach him a lesson. Your sister is pregnant, so we have to think about the child."
He said this as if he was afraid Su Yan would ruin the marriage.
But when Ye Mei arrived at the Du family's house, she realized that none of her words had even met the minimum requirement.
As soon as Ye Mei entered the residential area, she saw Song Qiu'e sunbathing and chatting in front of the unit entrance.
At this time of day, those who are supposed to go to work have already gone to work, and the remaining elderly and infirm gather in the courtyard to chat and pass the time.
Ye Mei pulled Su Yan aside and pointed at Song Qiu'e, saying, "Grandma Xuanxuan is sitting over there."
Su Yan followed Ye Mei over, but before she even got close, she heard Song Qiu'e's boastful voice.
“My son is very capable. He has been obedient since he was a child and has never caused me any trouble. Now that he is grown up, he works in a public institution. He is not only good-looking but also charming. My current daughter-in-law is determined to marry him, even offering her car and house.”
Song Qiu'e got so excited while talking that she slapped her thigh.
“If it weren’t for her kindness towards my son, and the thought that she would treat him well, our family would never have considered her. With my son’s qualities, better girls would be a piece of cake for him! As easy as catching a lamb!”
Ye Mei couldn't hold back any longer after listening to her boastful talk and wanted to rush over to demand an explanation. But before she could get there, Su Yan grabbed her arm.
Ye Mei looked at her in surprise, and Su Yan explained in an orderly manner: "If you rush up and fight with her now, you won't get any benefit. On the contrary, it will make you look anxious and completely confirm your daughter's crime of being overly eager."
Ye Mei thought about it and agreed, so she swallowed her anger back.
Su Yan slowly walked up behind Song Qiu'e. "Are you two having such a good time, in-laws?"
Song Qiu'e turned around and was startled to see Su Yan. "Aren't you Su Xuan's divorced older sister!"
I don't know why she specifically added the word "divorce".
Su Yan wasn't annoyed; she simply smiled.
"You don't intend to talk here, do you?"
Song Qiu'e glanced at Ye Mei behind her again, and while putting away the stool, she said, "Why hasn't Xuanxuan come back?"
Ye Mei couldn't hold back any longer and rushed up to mock, "Don't you know why Xuanxuan didn't come back!"
Song Qiu'e glanced at her and said irritably, "She has legs of her own. How would I know if she wanted to run away and not come back!"
Ye Mei was furious at her words and wanted to argue, but Su Yan pulled her back down.
The two of them went home with Song Qiu'e. As soon as they entered the house, not only Su Yan, but even Ye Mei, who had been decorating the new house, was surprised.
Two children were sitting on the floor opposite, playing with their toys and making a fuss. When they got excited, they would throw the toys aside and run around like crazy.
"Xuanxuan, if you keep causing trouble, I'll throw you out!"
Hearing the children's noisy commotion, a woman who looked to be around thirty years old came out of the bathroom.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Mei.
"My dear in-law, what brings you here?"
Ye Mei recognized her; she was Su Xuan's sister-in-law.
Song Qiu'e was very unhappy with her shouting and complained, "Why are you yelling at the child! You'll scare the child again!"
