"An Ran, look. Uncle knows magic. It can move him in an instant." As Lei Zichen spoke, he nudged Gao Da's leg twice and pressed the switch. Sure enough, Gao Da suddenly moved.

"Wow, uncle, you're so powerful." An An excitedly looked at the robot that had not moved a moment ago being rejuvenated by Lei Zichen. She couldn't help but clap her chubby little hands.

"Strange uncle, I still have a lot of toys in my room that I can't leave. Can you help me take a look?" As An An said this, she pulled Lei Zichen's hand and rushed into the room.

"An An, stop pestering uncle. Uncle still has a lot of things to do. If you pester him, your beautiful big sister will get angry." Tao Tian said to An An with a gloomy face.

At the mention of Qi Xue'er, Lei Zichen's expression became unnatural. His heart wasn't with Qi Xue'er, but to Tao Tian, this was the best evidence that he had forgotten about her. Why couldn't he forget her?

He had been a fool for so long. Couldn't he wake up from his stupor and take a good look at the flowers and plants around him?

Wasn't this little devil in front of him the one he should hate? It was because of his father that he had the experience of losing his wife. However, his innocence and purity, his request … he really couldn't bear to refuse.

"But, Mommy, Uncle, he's really amazing." An An An lowered his head and retorted in a low voice.

"An'an." Tao Tian's voice became more and more severe, but his heart was filled with sadness and unwillingness.

"An An, I don't know if mom is right or wrong. If there comes a day when you understand mom's intentions, I hope you can forgive mom." Tao Tian silently said in his heart.

"Yao Yao, it's alright." Lei Zichen held An An's plump hand. He could faintly feel the warmth of his palm along with the sweet scent of the incense. He felt a warm sensation all over his body.

Lei Zichen lowered his head and said gently, "An An, let's go. Uncle will go treat An An's toys."

"Right." An'an nodded her head vigorously. With an excited expression, she pulled Lei Zichen into his and Tao Tian's bedroom.

"Strange uncle, this is my room. This is Mommy's bed. This is safe."

Lei Zichen looked around and noticed that there were two beds in the narrow space.

An Xin's small bed was placed against the wall, surrounded by a wooden railing. Clearly, Tao Tian was afraid that An Xin would fall asleep while he was in bed, so he didn't obediently flip over the bed.

Around the railings, there were all kinds of furry young men hanging. Each of them was vivid and lifelike, and their appearances were pleasant to look at. Clearly, they were the masterpieces of Tao Tian.

The floor was made up of cartoon images and English letters, which should have been specially prepared for An'an's early teaching.

On one side was Tao Tian's bed. The two beds were not far apart, making it easy for Tao Tian to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of An'an.

From the bed cover to the pillowcase, they were all pink and tender, clearly the stuff of Tao Tian's heart.

Always, the entire room was arranged like a baby's room, like a girl's room. Even after so many years, Tao Tian's preferences were still the same as before.

"Weird uncle, these are all the treasures that An Xin has." Anthea pulled out a large box from under the bed. Inside were all kinds of large and small dolls.

"Wow, An An, you're so rich. There's actually so many treasures." Lei Zichen pretended to be surprised.

"Of course, it was all given to me by my mother and uncle. As long as I collect 5 red flowers, I can exchange them for a toy. Look, look, An'an is doing very well." An An An puffed up her chest as she spoke with pride.

"Little Red Flower?" Lei Zichen had a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he remembered that there was a large piece of white paper on the wall in the living room. On the paper, there were all kinds of flowers.

It was definitely something that Tao Tian used to deal with this naughty little devil. He didn't think that this little girl would have so many tricks up her sleeve.

"Yes, An An is a really great baby." Lei Zichen rubbed his soft hair with a smile on his face. Even he himself was curious as to why he had such a favorable impression towards this child born of an unknown rival. Could it be that he was her child?

"An An, stop pestering uncle." Tao Tian worriedly chased after them into the room. He saw the two of them, one big and one small, seriously playing with a whole box of toys.

Everything was natural. He never thought that An An would be so relaxed in front of his own father. Even if they didn't meet, they would still be able to play in such a harmonious and cozy manner.

Was it because he was being too cruel?

Now was not the time to recognize him, Lei Zichen still harbored a grudge against him. Besides, he had a new life of his own, wasn't it?

His status was special; at any moment, he would be implicated.

"Mommy, I don't have any. Look, uncle helped me fix a lot of toys." Anthea waved the Ultraman in her hands excitedly.

"Lei Dong, I'm so sorry." Tao Tian politely said to Lei Zichen.

"What did you call me?" Lei Zichen turned around and glared at Tao Tian in dissatisfaction. There is no need to be so distant between you and me. "

"An An, why did you call me a weird uncle?" Lei Zichen no longer paid any attention to Tao Tian. He only focused on playing with An An.

"Because, Uncle sometimes wants Mommy, and then sometimes he wants Mommy so much, I feel so weird." An An An was seriously fiddling with the toy in her hand as she casually spoke.

"I …" A child's words made Lei Zichen at a loss of what to do.

"Uncle, why is that?" An An's little face leaned towards Lei Zichen, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

"Ugh …" Actually, it's because … " Lei Zichen sniffed, not knowing how to explain it to this child.

"It's because Mommy and a friend of Uncle's looks really alike. Uncle doesn't like this friend, so that's why it's like this." Tao Tian answered first. She still has to work hard to create a pure world for the peace of mind.

Even if it was just for a day, a minute and a second was enough.

When Lei Zichen heard this, he looked at Tao Tian as if he had been electrocuted.

She understood, she understood his thoughts, but she still had to pretend to ignore him. From beginning to end, it was all because of him alone. Lei Zichen's heart turned sour as his expression turned heavy.

"Oh, uncle, you shouldn't dislike Mommy. Mommy is so great, the food she makes is so delicious." An'an seemed to be afraid that the two of them would be at odds, and hurriedly explained.

"An An, uncle likes your mommy." Lei Zichen leaned against the wall and sat down in a comfortable position, slowly emphasizing these words. After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Tao Tian's face, trying to find the answer he had been looking for.

"Uncle likes your mommy." These words, each word was like a sharp sword stabbing into Tao Tian's heart. Like it, how did he like a person?

"Great. Uncle likes Mommy." An'an didn't know that the world of adults was complicated, but now, his little heart was brimming with joy.

"Uncle, I actually like you too. You're as handsome as my uncle." An An said seriously to Lei Zichen.

"Oh?" Lei Zichen pointed a finger at his nose with a puzzled expression on his face. After hearing An An's confirmation, Lei Zichen became even more excited.

"Xia Chen, An An wouldn't easily place someone on the same level as his uncle." Tao Tian added from behind him.

"What does it mean?" Lei Zichen still cherished his words like gold towards Tao Tian.

"That means he likes you." Tao Tian spoke with determination. The scene in front of her eyes caused her to be emotionally moved. How cruel was she to allow the two of them to be so close to each other without being able to recognize each other.

No matter what happened between them, Anthea, Anthea can't be without a father forever. No one will ever play the part of a father.

Thinking like this, Tao Tian mustered his courage for himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Zichen," Tao Tian's voice was very light. He was afraid that if he emphasized the matter any further, this secret would be scared away.

"Didn't you always want to know who Anthea's father was?" Tao Tian pretended to be calm.

"His father was actually …" Tao Yao bit her lips, trying to calm herself down so that she could unravel the love and hate entanglement that happened three years ago.

"Who is it?" Lei Zichen's hair stood on end as he heard Tao Yao reveal the name of his love rival.

"Yes …" Tao Tian slowly raised his finger, wanting to point at Lei Zichen.

"Ring, ring, ring …" At this very moment, Lei Zichen's phone rang loudly.

"Hey, who is it!" Lei Zichen said impatiently. At such a critical moment, he was interrupted by an unknown phone number.

"Lei Dong, it's me." On the other end of the phone was the timid voice of Qi Xue'er. "Our side of the phone has ended long ago, but why can't I see you?" She was very prepared for her own position, and she knew in her heart that she might not even be considered a third of a child on Lei Zichen's side. She knew that Lei Zichen had Miss Irene, and although the two of them had not interacted in a cold manner, they were still more suited to each other in terms of position.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Lei Zichen naturally knew why the announcement was ending so quickly.

Saying that, he slowly stood up and started to make calls to Qi Xue'er with a frown on his face.

However, this phone call had pulled Tao Tiansheng back into reality. Fortunately, he had not been impulsive enough to ignore it, and now that they were in this situation, she was no longer the young miss of the past, but a person who had died in the law. The current her was only an ordinary person who worked hard every day at the bottom of the world, and the gap between them was still wide apart, making it impossible for her to return to his side. She also did not think about the betrayal she once had, but now, everything was still fresh in her mind.

If Lei Zichen knew that this little treasure in front of him was his blood and bone, would he try to snatch it away? No, this was her only hope for the rest of her life, he would definitely not allow this to happen.

Tao Tian came back to his senses and stood up as well. He stood to the side and quietly listened to Lei Zichen's phone call.

"Lei Dong, I … I don't have anything to do either. It's just that I have a rare moment of leisure today … I'd like to roam around here with you." With great difficulty, Qi Xue'er voiced out her request, afraid that Lei Zi Chen would refuse.
