After Liubao and Dabao spent a pleasant night with Tan Xiangchen outside, the three of them returned to the small villa together.
Li Yumei had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
When she saw the three of them enter the room, she immediately stood up, walked quickly forward, and said with a sweet smile on her face, "Brother Xiang Chen, you are back."
Then, she looked at Liubao and Dabao and said gently, "Dear ones, are you having fun?"
Li Yumei took the initiative to talk to Tan Xiangchen. In the past, Tan Xiangchen would definitely respond coldly.
But tonight, he had something to say to Li Yumei, so his attitude was different from usual.
He gently told Liubao and Dabao: "Children, go upstairs and rest first."
Liubao and Dabao nodded obediently and walked upstairs obediently.
After the two children left, Tan Xiangchen looked at Li Yumei and asked seriously, "Yumei, did you withhold the children's belongings? I hope you can return the things to them."
He paused, then emphasized: "They are only five or six-year-old children. They have no ability to escape."
When Li Yumei heard Tan Xiangchen taking the initiative to talk to her, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she was so happy in her heart.
Li Yumei was so happy that she couldn't help but move closer to Tan Xiangchen, wanting to give him a hug.
Tan Xiangchen took a step back and said coldly: "Yumei, keep your distance, or I will leave here immediately."
Li Yumei was stunned, and then she realized that she was too impatient. She thought to herself that what Tan Xiangchen said made sense. The children were still young and really had no ability to escape. So she decided to listen to Tan Xiangchen and return the children's belongings.
She comforted herself in her heart: "They can't run away anyway. It won't be too late to let them leave after Brother Xiang Chen recovers."
At the same time, she also wanted to create the image of a pure and well-behaved girl in front of Tan Xiangchen, so as to form a sharp contrast with her sister.
Li Yumei nodded and agreed: "Okay, Brother Xiang Chen, I will return the things to the children right away."
After hearing Li Yumei's reply, Tan Xiangchen's expression gradually softened.
He looked at Li Yumei and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Yumei, I am really happy to see the children. After so many years, I never thought I would have the opportunity to spend time with them again."
This was the first time that Tan Xiangchen shared his feelings with Li Yumei, and he said so much.
After Tan Xiangchen finished speaking, he turned and walked upstairs, leaving Li Yumei standing alone downstairs.
Li Yumei looked at Tan Xiangchen's back with mixed feelings.
Although Tan Xiangchen's face was disfigured by the fire and his heart seemed dead, in her heart, Tan Xiangchen was still the handsome and heart-beating Tan Xiangchen of the past.
At this time, Xiao Hei hurried into the room and reported to Li Yumei: "Sister Mei, the two children, Liu Bao and Da Bao, have been walking in the garden and looking at the stars. They are having a great time. Their playful nature has been fully exposed."
After hearing this, Li Yumei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a relaxed smile, and said, "It seems that they had too much fun and didn't want to come back."
She thought to herself that this was a good thing, the children were having fun and Tan Xiangchen would be in a better mood too.
After some consideration, Li Yumei decided to return Liubao and Dabao's bags to them.
She felt that the children were just playful kids and there was nothing to worry about, so she was no longer overly vigilant about their actions.
When Xiao Hei heard Li Yumei's decision, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly reminded her: "Sister Mei, you have to think it over carefully. There are mobile phones and tablets in the bags of the two children. If we return them to them, what if they use these things to contact the outside world?"
There was a hint of worry in Xiao Hei's eyes, he knew very well that this might bring potential risks to Li Yumei's plan.
Li Yumei smiled disapprovingly and said, "Xiao Hei, don't worry about it. Have you forgotten where this place is? There is no signal here at all. Even if they have mobile phones and tablets, they can't contact the outside world."
After hearing this, Xiao Hei suddenly realized that Li Yumei had already considered this, no wonder she was so confident in returning the things to the children.
As Li Yumei spoke, her eyes gradually became blurry and she fell into memories.
She thought of her sister's affairs, and felt uneasy. She was worried that Tan Xiangchen would be attracted by her sister's affairs and leave her.
She was particularly worried about her sister's condition after she fell ill. She was afraid that after Tan Xiangchen knew about it, he would not be able to bear to let her sister suffer and would change his attitude towards her.
These worries made Li Yumei's face gloomy and her mood became very bad.
Xiao Hei wanted to say something, but Li Yumei waved her hand impatiently and said, "Xiao Hei, stop talking nonsense here. Go and finish the things I told you to do. Don't bother me anymore."
Li Yumei simply ignored Xiao Hei's concerns and reminders. She firmly believed that there was no problem with her plan and still insisted on doing it according to her own ideas.
…
After dinner, Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue returned to their room on the second floor hand in hand.
The room is located in a courtyard, surrounded by quiet surroundings. The tranquil atmosphere makes people feel relaxed.
As soon as Su Yingxue entered the room, she walked straight to the window and gently pushed open the wooden window.
The starry sky outside is dazzling, with twinkling stars, so beautiful that it is hard to look away.
Su Yingxue's eyes also appeared particularly bright under the starlight.
Tan Zhengchu walked behind her, gently held her in his arms, and whispered, "Yingxue, don't always think about the children, just relax." He didn't want Su Yingxue to be immersed in worrying about the safety of her sons.
Su Yingxue leaned in Tan Zhengchu's arms, looked at the starry sky, and said softly: "Zhengchu, I feel like I have been here before. This feeling is very strange. Maybe it is in a dream, or maybe it is a memory of a previous life."
Tan Zhengchu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said jokingly with a smile: "Maybe this is destined, so that you will have a wonderful fate with this place."
The two of them hugged each other and quietly admired the starry sky together.
After a while, Tan Zhengchu gently reminded Su Yingxue: "Yingxue, you must be exhausted after sitting in the car for a whole day. Go take a shower and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Su Yingxue nodded and said, "Okay." Then she turned and walked into the bathroom.
When Tan Zhengchu saw Su Yingxue going to wash up, he left the room and went to Li Yuzhu's room.
He walked to the door and knocked gently. After hearing the voice of "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Li Yuzhu was standing by the window. When she saw Tan Zhengchu come in, a smile appeared on her face.
Tan Zhengchu found that Li Yuzhu seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to have let go of the past.
Tan Zhengchu walked to the window and stood there with Li Yuzhu to admire the stars.
Li Yuzhu said with emotion: "The starry sky here is so beautiful, just like when your father was alive, he also loved looking at the stars."
