ould barely breathe. She was sure she wasn't dreaming. 。The light remained off, and in the dimness, the two held each other tightly. They didn't need to speak; they understood each other perfectly, th...Shu Tinglan previously didn't have much patience for her two children because she was busy supporting them and making a living. She lacked the patience to guide them, and from a young age, she set strict rules that they had to follow. She was very strict. 。Instead of saying that the children were well-educated, it's more accurate to say that they were afraid of her and lost a lot of the vivacity and mischief that comes with being a child. 。So she always felt guilty towards her children. 。The children are now much more lively because Yi Muyang has been playing with them every day, slowly bringing back their lost innocence and vitality. 。Watching Zhu Yu'an patiently and gently teach the children various dining etiquette, the children were also earnestly learning beside him. Her thoughts drifted a little far away, recalling past events, and she couldn't help but think of Yi Mu Yang. 。Of course, this feeling isn't about romance. It's more like that of kindred spirits, old friends, with a heart full of gratitude. 。Until opposite Zhuo Yu'an held up a glass of juice and said to the children: “Let's toast Mom, shall we Cheers to Mom for a smooth work journey and a bright future.” 。"Okay, best wishes for Mom's work, and a bright future!" The two little kids held up their juice, mimicking Dad, and raising their glasses to toast Mom. This made Shu Tinglan laugh and feel a warmth in her heart. 。Thank you all 。Two little kids are holding juice and happily drinking it. 。Zuo Yu'an didn't drink, holding his juice and looking at Shu Tinglan opposite him. He thought he looked really good. 。Although it's no longer a world for just two, with one on each side, the little ones under the light bulb, the world of four is just right. 。Meeting his gaze, Shu Tinglan did not shy away. She poured a little red wine and offered it to him, saying nothing, but the gratitude in her eyes was unmistakable. 。He did everything silently for Yi Muyang, and she saw it all. 。He always kept track of Yi Muyang's whereabouts for her, which gave her a lot of peace of mind, at least knowing that Yi Muyang was safe at this moment. 。And his respect for her, in life, in work. 。Her work, when she was busy, might even neglect her children, and the pay wasn't much, maybe just enough for one of his meals or a bottle of wine a month, hardly worth mentioning. But he respected her work very much and genuinely felt happy for her, celebrating her loudly and openly. 。This respect is important, and in the future, children will also show her the same respect, and they won't treat her any differently just because she doesn't earn as much as their father. 。Zhuo Yu'an held his wine glass, his gaze on her gradually becoming heated. He lightly sipped the red wine, not daring to drink it all because he would be driving home later. Shu Tinglan also took a light sip. Everything was conveyed in silence. 。On the way home, the children in the back seats had all fallen asleep in their car seats. When they arrived at the garage, Shu Tinglan had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Zhuo Yu'an emerged from the driver's seat and enveloped her in his arms. He leaned down and kissed her, both gentle and domineering. 。There was still the lingering sweetness of that small sip of red wine on her lips. 。Zhuo Yu'an gradually felt a warmth spread through him, his heart beating wildly out of control. It was because he could feel Ting Lan's careful and subtle response to him, their lips gently probing and chasing each other inside. 。For many years, since their divorce, every encounter except that one drunken night had been him aggressively trying to possess her, while she fought back and pushed him away. 。This time, she responded and cooperated cautiously, pursuing >>> 。He couldn't hold back, getting stronger and stronger, almost suffocating them both. If it weren't for the children in the back seat, he probably would have taken her right there in the car. 。。The sound of the children waking up startled Shu Tinglan, who hurriedly pushed him away and pushed open the passenger door, almost running out of the car to get to the back seat and pick up the children. 。"Mom, are we home yet"
"We're home." 。She unbuckled Shu Xiaonian's car seat, and on the other side, Zhuo YUAN also unbuckled Shu Xiaohua's safety belt, each holding a child down from the car. 。There was a child between them, but Zhuo Yu'an's eyes were practically glued to hers, making her feel like she was on fire. 。He takes advantage of the children's inability to understand, making no secret of his desire for her. 。Finally home, Shu Tinglan went to give the children a bath, blow-dry their hair, and then go to bed with them. 。It was Zhuo Yu'an telling a bedtime story again. Tonight, he couldn't help but be absent-minded, his thoughts drifting elsewhere from time to time. 。
I only hope the children fall asleep soon. 。As a result, the children acted against him just like they were full of energy after sleeping for half an hour in the car and now had no drowsiness. 。After a while, she asked: "
“Daddy, why is the white rabbit's eyes red”
“Because the white rabbit has little pigment in its fur, so its eyes are transparent, and red is the color of blood.” 。"A while later, she asked again:
"Daddy, why can camels survive in the desert"
"Because camels have very thick pads on their feet that protect them from the hot sand. And their humps store fat which gives them the nutrition they need." 。“
It's just a million whys, but right now Zhuo Yunan’s mind is full of inappropriate images, yet he has to hold back and patiently answer every question, answering seriously.” 。Shu Tinglan was stifling a smile. The children had just taken a nap, the kind that charges you up for five minutes and drains you for 24 hours. There was no way they'd be falling asleep anytime soon. 。She buried her face in the pillow, her hair spilling out beside her. She was barefaced and beautiful, defenseless, looking soft and vulnerable. Zuo Yu'an couldn't help but feel his throat dry. 。Seeing her still smile, he glared at her, then turned away and helplessly continued reading the picture book to the children. 。
I read one book after another, my temper gradually wore thin. 。The children were finally...finally asleep. As he turned over, he saw Tinglan had also fallen asleep at some point, sleeping soundly and peacefully. 。He gently kissed her, not wanting to wake her, so he got up and went to the bathroom to shower. 。Looking in the mirror, I saw that pimple on my cheek seemed to have gotten bigger. Sighing in resignation, I rolled over and went back to bed. 。But this time, he didn't dare to get close to Tinglan. Instead, he moved the two children to the middle, separating them from each other. 。Glancing at the two children, I thought, well, they're three years old now. It's time to cultivate independent sleeping habits. 。
That paternal love really disappeared. 。When he went to work the next day and saw Cheng Zhimin in the company, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Tinglan about this last night. He could only arrange a meeting another day. 。After being comforted by Secretary Cui last night, Cheng Zhimin wasn't in a hurry to apologize anymore. She was confident that Zhu Yúan wouldn't really let the library project be abandoned. So she calmly waited for him to arrange for her to meet with Shu Tinglan and the children. 。seeing just that little pimple on his face, the size of a mung bean, I couldn't help but worry and say: “Should you go to the hospital I don't want you to get an infection and have it fester.” 。"Sister Cui chuckled from the side. Having lived abroad for many years, she was very open about matters between men and women and wouldn't shy away from them. " 。omework and didn't think much of it.Zuo Yu'an's question was just like his lectures, clear and concise, each point connecting to the next. It was even more detailed than what the teacher explained. So...
