say, Ye Mingjue's preparations were very thorough. 。"Xiao Nuan, you have packed everything very well, haven't you" 。 。"Yeah, I only brought a tent, some rations, water and medicine..." 。Li Yincui..."That looks really beautiful."

"Of course." An Xiaonuan replied subconsciously.

She had just finished answering when she realized the voice was...

"Zi Rui"

She turned her head to look behind her, and discovered that it was really Ye Ziru standing behind her. Beside him were Ye Ziyue and An Zixuan.

She was taken aback and said to Ye Ziru, "How come you guys are here too What a coincidence!"

Yèzǐyù shook his head silently.

By this time, Mom still pretends it's a coincidence. They aren't three-year-olds anymore.

"Auntie An, we saw you guys a long time ago, we just didn't have time to come over until now." An Zixuan said to Ye Zirui.

An Xiaonuan touched her nose a little awkwardly.

Before Ye Mingjue could even raise his hand, he saw a green mark already on An Xiaonuan's nose.

"Ahem, is that so I didn't see you guys. Are you all on a spring outing here today" An Xiaonuan awkwardly smiled.

Before Ye Zi Rui could even open his mouth to speak, he felt his father’s gaze of death upon him.

He felt a warning in his father's dark eyes, shining brightly.

If you dare to expose your mother, you're dead!

In an instant, the words "Let's have a look at this painting!" on Ye ZiRui's lips transformed into: "Can we be gifted this painting I want to hang it in our room!"

Changing the subject is the best way to end a conversation!

An Xiaonuan was indeed taken in by her words, a happy expression appearing on her face as she said, "Do you like it I don't think it's very well drawn."

Although he said it wasn't good, his eyes sparkled.

"This painting is very beautiful, thank you, Mom!" said Ye Ziyu seriously.

He smiled at An Xiaonuan and said.

The kid who was just aloof and cool a moment ago is now acting like a good little boy.

Ye Zi Rui had long since gotten used to his brother's changing moods faster than he could turn a page, so he didn't feel anything. He turned his head and looked again at the picnic food they had brought today.

So today, what was supposed to be a class trip turned into a family picnic.

After lunch, An Xiaonuan patted Ye Ziru and Ye Ziyu's heads and said, "You two are great, go play well. My husband and I will head home first."

"Okay, Mom, be careful on the way." Ye Ziyu said obediently.

"Well, I will. You two be careful too."

Then, he left with Ye Mingjue.

As she reached the foot of the mountain, she turned back to look at the group of children.

They were gathered together, talking about something, their faces happy and relaxed.

"They've grown up." Ye Mingjue's large hand gently caressed An Xiaonuan's palm.

"Yes, she has grown up."

They are no longer the children who couldn't live without their parents. She should have been the happiest one, but she felt empty inside.

She knew such a moment would come sooner or later, and she had long been prepared. It's just that when this moment arrived, she was still somewhat disappointed.

"Want to go shopping" Ye Mingjue saw An Xiaonuan's dejection and asked.

Maybe shopping will make my warm mood even better.

An Xiaonuan also felt the need to find something to distract herself, so she agreed to Ye Mingjue's proposal.

Then the two of them went to the nearby mall for shopping.

Now that there was no need to hide their whereabouts any longer, the two chubby fellows had already left. Only An Xiaonuan and Ye Mingjue remained.

I was just going to casually browse and leave, but after seeing a familiar figure, An Xiaonuan felt like she might stay for a while longer.

Kong Mingming was carrying two bags of clothes, both looking very high-end.

But none of this was hers.

It was bought by her mother.

"Mom, we've bought so much, let's go home." She was already out of money.

"You ungrateful wretch, you're already complaining about having too many clothes after just buying a few I slaved away to pay for your education and provide for you, this is how you repay me" The woman's sharp voice left Kong Ming speechless once again.

Actually, she really wanted to say that all her university tuition was earned by herself, and the amount of money he spent on her had long been repaid tenfold.

But, to measure this thing with money feels too cold.

So in the end, she remained silent.

An Xiaonuan watched this scene from afar, her heart aching with a twinge of sympathy.

She recalled her past experiences.

She understood that feeling of loneliness, the longing to be noticed, to be loved, in that photo.

That's why she paid special attention to Kong Mingming.

But Kong Mingming had never once considered asking her for help.

An Xiaonuan felt she understood her, understood that kind of reluctance to tear apart the face and show mercy, but she couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, An Xiaonuan's hand was tightly grasped.

"Nuannuan." Ye Mingjue gently shook his head.

He didn't think that Ruirui coming forward would get her any good treatment. Besides, even if Ruirui could bring them a temporary peace, what about after that

The contradiction caused by lightning strikes over a long period of time cannot be resolved in a few words, and this kind of thing is not suitable for outsiders to intervene.

Night Mingjue didn't want the treasure he held in his palm to be treated coldly by others.

But…," An Xiaonuan hesitated, wanting to step forward.

Ye Mingjue let out a soft sigh and said, "Nuan Nuan, some things are not something others can do for her. You know that, right"

They are a family, whether close or distant, nothing that can be interfered with by outsiders.

An Xiaonuan nodded slightly, sounding a bit dejected. "Why are there so many people in the world who live such tiring lives"

"Because the darker the place, the brighter the stars shine."

Just like you are always shining in my night sky.

In the end, An Xiaonuan still didn't go forward to interfere in their affairs. Instead, she went shopping with Ye Mingjue.

Although she encountered some unhappy things today, An Xiaonuan was happy when she got home.

She held up the painting in her hand and asked Ye Mingjue, "Is it really pretty"

She was still a little bit unsure of herself.

I think those two boys couldn't bear to discourage her, so they said that.

But she forgot, the one who should feel most for her, was the man right in front of her.

Even two young boys praised her, how could Ye Mingjue possibly say she was bad

"It's beautiful, don't forget to paint me one too." Ye Mingjue said.

"Great!" An Xiaonuan happily went to find the housekeeper for a frame after receiving praise.

As evening approached, both Ye Ziyu and Ye Ziru returned home.

After dinner, the two children went back to their room, while Ye Mingjue was dragged by An Xiaonuan to watch TV in the living room.

On the television was a boring and melodramatic soap opera. An Xiaonuan watched it with relish, while Ye Mingjue simply watched An Xiaonuan watching it with relish.

Not until An Xiaonuan had eaten ten strawberries did Yemingjue finally relent, scooping her up and holding her in his lap.

"Nuan Nuan..." His voice was low and husky, his eyes flickering with a faint light.

The scene before An Xiaonuan's eyes shifted from the television screen to a man in his prime. She was still getting used to it when she felt a cool touch on her lips.

It was at this moment that a sound of a door opening came from upstairs.he child somewhere else His mind is really deep. 。"What do you mean by putting me and the child in different places" asked An Xiaonuan. 。After the cold night calmed down again, he smiled and said: "So...
