"You're right, it's my problem." It was wrong from the start.
DouDou is not the same DouDou as before, and he is not the same person he used to be.
Times change, and things change.
He still uses the same old methods to deal with problems, thinking that he can get through them smoothly by hiding, delaying, and wishful thinking.
In the end, he brought this upon himself, and he deserved to suffer this calamity.
However, his thoughts did not change. He was willing to stay by DouDou's side and watch Anji grow up, even without a formal title.
Seeing the light in his eyes, Lu Chaoyang guessed that he had figured something out and was happy for him.
"Alright, what's done is done. Let's look to the future. There's still a long road ahead. Don't let one setback stop you from moving forward."
An Rong looked firmly at the door, facing Dou Dou, filled with confidence that he would definitely gain Dou Dou's complete forgiveness and make her accept him again.
In the evening, Ye Xiaoqian took Anji to practice basic skills in the yard.
"Auntie, is Mother angry with Father?" Anji stood up after finishing her horse stance and looked at Ye Xiaoqian.
Ye Xiaoqian looked at Anji with affection and suddenly realized that when couples have conflicts and want to separate, the harm to the child is invisible yet enormous.
A warm and happy family is essential for raising a strong, brave, optimistic, and positive child.
If Angie knew that his parents were going to separate, would he lose faith in the future?
“Anji, your mother is just feeling unwell and needs to rest. She doesn’t want to talk to anyone and isn’t angry with anyone, including your father.” She, who never lies, can now lie without batting an eye for Anji.
Anji was skeptical; he thought his mother was just sick, which was why she was so downcast.
"Auntie, what can I do to make Mother get better?" He just wanted his father and mother to be as harmonious and loving as before.
Ye Xiaoqian also wanted to know how to make Dou Dou happy.
What happened cannot be changed, and she has no ability to erase DouDou's memories.
An Rong's behavior was also unforgivable in her eyes. She wanted to comfort Dou Dou, but she didn't take it to heart. It was easy for her to talk when she was not in the situation.
This is a matter between the two of them; she, as an outsider, can't help with anything.
As for Anji, the best thing he can do is to behave well, eat well, study well, and not cause trouble for DouDou.
“Anji, your mother hopes you will grow up healthy and become a useful person in the future,” Ye Xiaoqian said solemnly.
Angie is a smart child, and Aunt Xiaoqian did not answer his question directly.
Why is Mother unhappy?
How can I make her happy?
It seems I'll have to ask Father about this, but he's been busy in the kitchen the whole time.
"Auntie, I want to go see my mother."
"Okay, go ahead."
Anji is the link between Anrong and Yuan Doudou, and perhaps this matter still needs to be resolved by Anji.
"Mommy, you're awake?" Anji entered the room and saw his mother sitting on the bed, reading a book.
"Angie, come here."
Angie obediently walked over, lay down by the bed, and opened his big eyes, which looked like the eyes of a deer. He was extremely cute.
Yuan Doudou especially likes Anji's eyes, which are like Anrong's, but even more beautiful.
She even fantasized about what kind of handsome man Angie would grow up to be, and how many girls he would charm.
Just like An Rong, she could easily charm any princess.
"Anji, did you study today?"
Anji nodded obediently: "Auntie Xiaoqian taught me to read."
"Okay." Yuan Doudou stroked his head; his hair was soft.
Anji seized the opportunity to say, "Mommy, can you please stop being angry with Daddy?"
"Mommy isn't angry." Yuan Doudou wondered if An Rong had said something to Anji.
Anji didn't believe it: "Mother, Anji has eyes and a heart. I can see and feel that you and Father are unhappy. Father always locks himself in the kitchen and studies the food that Mother likes."
“He’s trying so hard to please his mother. Angie doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, but Angie hopes that you and Daddy can always be well and never be separated, and that our family can live happily together.”
Yuan Doudou was stunned; this was not something a three-year-old child could say.
She was fixated on An Rong's mistakes, which became her sore spot, like a tumor growing on her body that she couldn't feel comfortable until it was removed.
Angie's presence is undoubtedly an obstacle.
Besides effort, maintaining a marriage also requires a bond, and children are the best bond.
Looking back, I often heard the saying, "For the sake of the children, this marriage cannot be dissolved."
Many parents only feel comfortable separating from their partners after their children have finished taking the college entrance examination.
Angie is still a child. Before his father was gone, he thought he was dead, so he was gone.
Now that Anrong has returned, and Anji knows about his father's existence, if they are separated, Anji will inevitably be implicated.
"Angie, don't cry."
The little guy seemed to sense something was wrong, and tears streamed down his face.
"I'm a man, I can't shed tears easily."
Angie tried desperately to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't stop.
"Anji, don't worry, your father and I will be fine." Yuan Doudou's heart softened.
Anji rushed into his mother's arms and smiled happily.
When An Rong brought in the food, she saw this heartwarming scene.
Anji can't live without DouDou, and neither can he.
"Daddy, you're here!" Anji flew out like a swallow.
Looking at the food on the tray, his mouth watered.
"Wow, this looks delicious!"
"Mommy, look what delicious food Daddy made for you!" Anji turned to look at Yuan Doudou.
An Rong's lips curled up as he saw Dou Dou smiling.
That smile was genuine, a smile directed at Angie.
"What?"
An Rong answered first: "Spicy diced chicken, egg pancake, and lean meat porridge."
"Okay, it's what I like to eat."
She was very curious as to how An Rong knew she liked to eat these things.
An Rong carried Yuan Doudou to the table and took a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
"Anji, sit down and let's eat together."
Anji sat down first, looked at his father standing to the side, and winked at Dou Dou: "Mommy, can Daddy eat with us?"
"Can."
An Rong smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get two more bowls."
Looking at An Rong's back, Yuan Doudou could sense his pleasure, only because she had compromised and made him sit down to eat with her.
"Mother, Father is a master cook."
Anji likes his mother's cooking, but after his father came back, he likes his father's cooking even more.
An Rong returned quickly, bringing not only lean pork porridge but also a plate of stir-fried loofah with shrimp.
"Anji, this isn't spicy, it's suitable for you."
Spicy diced chicken is delicious, but children shouldn't eat too much of it.
"I like to eat loofah," Angie said happily.
