"What about Mommy? What's she doing?" Lei Zichen lowered his head and asked.

"Mommy was cutting mangoes in the kitchen. She said she'd be fine soon." "Grandma, you want to see it too?" Anthea tried her best to push his soft body into Auntie Zhong's embrace.

"Good, good, good. I've already requested that Grandma An be serious in watching this." Auntie Zhong took the opportunity to hug An An in her arms and replied with a smile.

"Alright, I have some fruits to eat." As he said this, Tao Tian took out the mango he had cut earlier and placed it on the tea table.

"Uh, An An …" Thinking of An An's words, Tao Yao wanted to ask An An and her brother what was going on. However, in front of Lei Zichen, it was as if her tongue was tied up, making her unable to speak.

"Mommy, let's start." An An jumped out from Auntie Zhong's embrace and ran towards Tao Tian. As she ran, she didn't forget to hold Lei Zichen's hand.

"Alright, grandma, you sit here and watch An An's performance." An Xin carefully made her arrangements.

Auntie Zhong, on the other hand, obediently sat down. She was looking forward to seeing what kind of original performance the three of them would perform.

Lei Zichen and Tao Tian stood to the left and right of An An. After all, unlike An An, these two adults could still sing and dance whenever they weren't around. In front of the crowd, they were truly a bit embarrassed.

The two of them glanced at each other before their gazes met. Lei Zichen was the first to smile at Tao Tian.

"Alright, everyone. Now, please enjoy the program brought over by little friend An An Xin and her parents. It's called 'Three Bears'." Anthea reported back for him with a serious look on her face.

He was already his father, and this child had existed for so long without him knowing. Fortunately, it was not too late, this child that he called him father, in the future he will love and love.

To Tao Ran, however, it sounded as if his father was at a loss. He had truly lost the thing he loved, regardless of whether he was willing to face it or not.

"Alright, let's begin now." After Anthea finished speaking, she began to rehearse her singing and dancing. She then looked at Lei Zichen and Tao Tian, and the two of them stiffly sang along with Anthea.

"Aiya, Mommy, can you be louder, Uncle? Can you be louder too?" Clearly, An An was dissatisfied with the performance of the two adults, and he loudly berated them.

"Oh, good." The two adults became more and more flustered after being scolded by the children. In addition to what they had in mind, the entire dance routine they had rehearsed beforehand became chaotic.

After fooling around with the song, the two of them were already sweating profusely.

"Mommy, Uncle Ley, I'm very dissatisfied with both of your performances." An'an's small face was puffed up as he seriously counted the two people who had just made repeated mistakes.

"Alright, baby An An, it's Mommy's fault. Mommy will practice diligently." Tao Tian squatted on the ground with an apologetic look on his face, just like An An An. He forced himself to smile.

"That's right, that's right. Uncle An An is also in the wrong. Uncle will also practice hard." Lei Zichen followed Tao Tian's example and squatted down in front of An An. He kept apologizing, but he had no way of suppressing his laughter.

This brat really looked like a small adult when he was young.

"Un, alright then. Uncle, Grandma, do you think An An's performance is good?" Anthea was still a child, after all, and with a few words she had coaxed him into forgetting all the things he thought were unpleasant.

"Of course it's okay, we, An An, are great. It's just that Mommy and Uncle didn't do well. An Xin has to supervise the two of them and practice hard." Auntie Zhong continued to speak with a serious expression.

"Un, Grandma. I think so too. Uncle, come back to our house tomorrow. I will supervise you. You will be performing the day after tomorrow." An An An turned around and said to Lei Zichen, who was still laughing.

"Ah?" I have no problem with that. " After Lei Zichen finished speaking, he meaningfully looked at Tao Tian, waiting for her reply.

"Mommy." An'an grabbed Tao Tian's arm like a spoiled child and shook it with all his might.

"I …" Tao Tian didn't know how to reply. He stammered, unable to speak.

"Mommy, it's going to be on the show the day after tomorrow. It's not good for uncle to be like this." An An An said somewhat anxiously, the shaking of her arms becoming increasingly intense.

"Then... "Alright then …" Tao Tian hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Lei Zichen looked at the two of them with a smile, as if they were his most treasured possessions that could not be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold.

"Yeah, great." An An was jumping up and down in jubilation. Even Tao Tian could tell that since Lei Zichen had entered their lives, An'an was, in comparison, much happier than before.

"Come on, let's eat some fruits. Come to An An, come to grandma's place and look at the sweat on her forehead." Auntie Zhong greeted him lovingly and pulled him into her embrace, wiping his sweat non-stop.

Everyone sat around the table, eating fresh mangoes. The atmosphere was still warm and peaceful.

Tao Ran, who knew everything, looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt that he was actually a ridiculous outsider. It was such a harmonious family of three generations, and he, after so many years, should finally return to his original position.

"Alright, Auntie, it's getting late. I need to go back. See you tomorrow." After eating the fruit, Lei Zichen raised his wrist to look at his watch. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly got up and bid farewell.

"Sigh, fine, fine." Hearing Lei Zichen say the words "See you tomorrow", like an agreement filled with magic, instantly brought Auntie Zhong's mood back to its peak. She repeatedly nodded her head and said, "See you tomorrow".

"Then let's go, Auntie. Have a good rest." Seeing that Lei Zichen was about to leave, Tao Tian pulled An An and his brother along as he prepared to leave.

"An Xin, tomorrow, tomorrow …" And come with your brother again, will you? " Auntie Zhong carefully made her request. To Auntie Zhong, who had been living alone for a long time, the warmth of such a family was enough to make her unable to extricate herself.

"Right." Tao Tian solemnly nodded his head. He knew that Auntie Zhong's request contained too much of a mother's hope of seeing her son.

"Hm, take care." Auntie Zhong waved at the crowd, looking reluctant.

"Ai, auntie, you should stay well yourself. I'll come back tomorrow." Lei Zichen then walked downstairs and waved towards Auntie Zhong.

Auntie Zhong kept staring greedily at Lei Zichen's back. She knew that he would never be seen again. Thus, she slowly closed the door …

Lei Zichen drove back to the hotel. As usual, he didn't want to bother with Qi Xue'er, as his past self had been preposterous, he hadn't been able to find that woman who could fill all the empty spaces in his heart. But now, she had come with the same gentleness and elegance, causing him to be no longer in the mood to admire other scenery.

"Lei Dong, you … "You're back." Hearing the sound of Lei Zichen's door opening, Qi Xue'er hurriedly opened her own door, wanting to say a few words to him.

"Yes, is something the matter?" As usual, his face was cold and indifferent, like a stranger. Lei Zichen's natural cold and arrogant side was restored.

"No, nothing, today's matter …" Thinking that her plan had been exposed, Lei Zichen flew into a rage, and Qi Xue'er tried to defend him.

"I won't pursue today's matter. Take care of yourself." Lei Zichen paused at the door for a moment before walking into the room.

"Hey, Lei Dong, where did you go tonight? Seeing that Lei Zichen was about to enter the room, Qi Xue'er hurriedly asked loudly.

"At a friend's home." Lei Zichen threw out the last two words before slamming the door shut.

With a "peng", Qi Xue'er disappeared from Lei Zichen's sight.

Qi Xue'er was a little depressed, pouting as she walked into her room, throwing herself onto her bed, "What's so special about her?" She mumbled to herself, "Hmph, I won't believe it, when Irene arrives, I want to see how long you can be so arrogant for."

Thinking of this, a trace of comfort appeared on Qi Xue'er's face. This was the last thing she could do for herself.

The first light of dawn shone into the room. Accompanied by the loud noise of the alarm clock, Tao Tian lazily got out of bed. He lightly pressed the stop button and the alarm clock stopped ringing.

Tao Tian turned around and got off the bed. Her little devil was still sleeping soundly. She quietly walked into the kitchen and began the first step of the busy day …

Tao Ran and An An woke up one after another. After the chaotic morning, everyone went back to their own homes …

"Brother Ran, why do you always look so absent-minded today?" Ye Ningtian, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, asked Tao Ran who was driving with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing." Tao Ran was just lost in his emotions when he was at Auntie Zhong's house last night.

"It's really nothing?" Ye Ningtian asked in disbelief.

"How are you? That person didn't come looking for you again, right? " Tao Ran didn't want to talk about his own matters as he changed the topic.

"Oh, okay. It's fine now. It's all a judicial process now. Clear your mind." Ye Ning Tian said with a lustful look on his face. It was as if he didn't care about Qi Ran's words and was in stark contrast to her expression that day.

"Ah, speaking of this matter, I have yet to thank you properly. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal on Sunday." Ye Ningtian laughed as he spoke.

"Don't say you're busy." Before Tao Ran could open his mouth to speak, Qi Xue'er pointed at his mouth and yelled.

"But …" Tao Ran still wanted to defend himself.

"There are no buts. It's decided. I'll go to the location tonight." After she finished speaking, Ye Ning Tian turned her head to the side and didn't look at Tao Ran. She was a stubborn person, always treating people the same.

Looking at Ye Ning Tian's appearance, Tao Ran slightly frowned. This side was filled with grief, but on the other side, there was also a passionate and fiery girl. What's wrong with me …

"Alright, I'm here. See you tonight. Bye bye." The car turned a corner and arrived at the hospital where Ye Ning Tian worked. Ye Ning Tian opened the car door and said goodbye while drinking.

"Director, how much longer will this take?" On the set today, Qi Xue'er did not dare to act rashly again, obediently allowing herself to be manipulated, not making a sound. On the other side, Lei Zichen asked worriedly, because with his experience, this promotional video seemed to be coming to an end, and he was still nostalgic about this city, its people and matters.

"It's almost here. Lei Dong, there are still two to three days left. We should be able to return to Yan City by next Monday." The director seriously calculated for a moment before answering.
