"Zichen, grandpa's power is definitely much greater than you think. He was only temporarily defeated by you today, so my own safety isn't important. Anyways, I'm already a dead man, if you want to take me away, then bring An An." Tao Yao's handsome face twitched as he said this, as if he was enduring a great deal of pain.

"Yao Yao …" Although he didn't hear Tao Tian personally say anything about An Ran's life, but these words had already proven everything.

"Let's be happy today. We'll leave the unhappy matters for tomorrow." Tao Yao smiled, he didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Lei Zichen.

He just ran over and started playing with An An, which caused Lei Zichen to feel sorry for him and feel helpless.

"Run, run high!" Tao Tian and An An were laughing and making a ruckus in front of them.

This natural park was built by relying on the original natural scenery of S City, it only had a playground suitable for children. The playground was surrounded by beautiful scenery, just like a paradise, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Let's go, let's go." The three of them sat in a line on the Ferris Wheel. Tao Tian hugged An An and let him properly sit on his seat.

"Come on baby, get it done." Immediately after, Tao Yao sat to the side, followed by Lei Zichen. The two of them held An An on both sides of the table.

"Mommy, I want to sit on your side." He moved around restlessly.

"Why?" Tao Tian habitually separated all possible dangerous substances from safety, thus he placed An'an in the middle. "An'an, there will be some dangers here." Tao Tian lectured.

"But, Mommy, I want to see outside." An An An's soft request.

"Come, let's sit by Daddy's side," Lei Zichen said as he reached over and grabbed An An's small body, then moved it to his side.

"But, Zichen …" Tao Tian worriedly shouted.

"It doesn't matter, I will always hold him like this." Lei Zichen said as he waved his arm towards Tao Tian.

"You have to be careful." Tao Tian still did not feel reassured as he urged her.

"Mommy, don't worry. I'll be good." An An's entire body was embraced by Lei Zichen, leaving only his small head exposed as he smiled and said to Tao Tian.

"Then don't move." Tao Tian had once put his life on the line for this. But now that he was facing his own treasure, he felt as if there were nothing but grass and trees in the world.

"Du." With a sound, the Ferris Wheel started spinning.

"Mommy, it's moving, it's moving." An An Qing excitedly twisted her body.

"An An, don't move." Tao Tian reminded from the side.

"Oh, got it." An Xin dejectedly lowered her head.

The Ferris Wheel slowly rose to the highest point in the sky, almost enough to overlook the entire city.

"Look, Mommy, the city is at our feet." An An pointed at the now unclear city and excitedly said to Tao Tian.

"Tao Tian raised his head and looked down. The entire small S City is surrounded by mountain ranges on all four sides, and it is actually quite captivating. It is at sunset, and the setting sun has completely enveloped the city within its embrace.

"Yao Yao, why did you come to S City? Why did you leave me that year? You really … "He really wants to …" There was no way Lei Zichen could say the word 'kill' out loud.

"Zichen, do you really think I'd have the heart to kill you?" Tao Tian didn't directly answer, he only asked a question. His burning gaze seemed to be able to pierce through Lei Zichen's heart.

"I …" His memories were overturned and the evidence that he was sure of was the recording Irene had spent a lot of effort to get. The sound image was still fresh in his mind, but what he could clearly see was the feeling back then.

"If you have already convicted me in your heart, what can I explain it to you?" Tao Tian's smiling expression and her words became the complete opposite of the scenery.

"I... I want you to tell me yourself. " Lei Zichen's anger died down, but he still stubbornly asked.

Tao Tian didn't reply. He only smiled and shook his head. Even if she didn't have the heart to kill him, she was still assigned this mission. What difference was there between this and wanting to kill him? Tao Tian didn't want to admit it, but there was no way to deny it.

Although he did not make a sound, his answer was still satisfactory to Lei Zichen. Whether it was the truth or a lie, he did not want to pursue it. He only wanted this result.

The two questions that he cared about the most were this one and the other was An An's biological father. Now it seemed that there was no need to ask any further.

Lei Zichen suddenly felt a lot better. He tightly hugged An An's soft little body, sniffing the fragrance that was unique to him.

An'an continued to look around, and did not hear the two of them conversing. She only felt that Lei Zichen's embrace was getting tighter and tighter.

"Dad, what's wrong?" An'an asked curiously.

"It's nothing, An An, take a look, isn't the outside beautiful?" Lei Zichen lowered his head and pointed at the scenery in the distance while carrying An An An.

"Beautiful, my house has become so small." An An pointed at her house with her chubby hand.

"How do you know it's your home there?" Tao Tian teased An An.

"I guessed. Hur Hur." Anthea smiled and turned her head away, ignoring the two of them.

"Down, down." The Ferris Wheel slowly slid down from the highest point, provoking An An An's excited cheers again.

An An's happiness seemed to have infected Lei Zichen and Tao Tian. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Their bodies unconsciously moved closer to each other.

Each of them guarded the small windows beside them, looking out at the scenery.

"Zichen, look over there …" Tao Yao looked away, wanting to introduce Lei Zichen to a scenery she often loitered around.

"What for?" Lei Zichen turned around, and due to using too much strength, their noses came into contact with each other's.

The two of them stared into each other's eyes in a daze, especially Tao Tian, who nervously clenched his hands into fists. She knew what would happen next, she did not want to dodge, she wanted to accept, she wanted to accept this man that fate had arranged for her, this man that she had never been able to escape from.

She stared intently into Lei Zichen's eyes, her burning gaze as resplendent as the stars. This was a face that she had never forgotten. Her handsome nose was now pressed against her own. It was a handsome face, hard and handsome, a face that would have made her sleep at night if she had remembered it at night.

Lei Zichen maintained this posture of face to face with Tao Tian. He slightly narrowed his eyes, revealing Tao Tian's nervousness. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a pretty smile.

There was no language, only a gradual approach.

Time seemed to be about to stop at the moment of their intimate contact, the entire world's splendor enveloped both of them. On this high Ferris Wheel, they were the intimate lovers that were free and unfettered, this was once their proud title, maybe it would be so in the future as well.

"Ring, ring, ring …" Lei Zichen's phone started to ring. Lei Zichen turned a deaf ear to it, but continued to press closer to Tao Tian.

"Zichen, your phone rang." Tao Tian was shocked by the bell and returned to reality.

"Ignore him. Let's continue." Lei Zichen was a bit vexed. He was just about to taste the cherry when he was interrupted by an inexplicable phone call.

"What if there's something wrong?" Tao Tian asked with a bit of worry.

As he spoke, he gave Lei Zichen a comforting peck on the cheek.

It was still a familiar feeling and smell. This was the first time Tao Tian had taken the initiative to kiss him since they had met. It really made Lei Zichen feel as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

The phone continued to ring and ring tirelessly, as if it was hoping its owner would answer.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lei Zichen sang a sweet song and obediently took out his phone. It was Irene.

In an instant, the smile on Lei Zichen's face became unreadable. He had a cruel feeling of his dream being defeated by reality.

"Who is it? Why aren't you answering?" Tao Tian didn't understand the truth and asked.

"Ah, a friend." In such an atmosphere, he really didn't want to mention the name Irene to ruin the sweetness he had just developed.

"Hey," Lei Zichen tried his best to sound calm.

"Brother Zichen, what are you busy with?" Irene's sweet voice instantly filled Lei Zichen's ears.

"I'm not busy. I'm outside." Since he didn't want to lie in front of Tao Tian and also didn't want Irene to know the truth, Lei Zichen could only give an ambiguous answer.

"What do you want?"

"It's nothing," Irene said softly. "I was packing my things when I saw your perfume and called you." Eileen tried to find a suitable reason for her call.

"Oh, since you have nothing to do, then go ahead and do your work." Seeing that Lei Zichen didn't have any interest in chatting with him, Irene somewhat dispiritedly hung up the phone.

"Alright, goodbye." Lei Zichen hurriedly hung up the phone as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He smiled and said to Tao Yao, "A friend is calling to greet you."

"Ah," Tao Tian asked again after the phone call. He was focused on enjoying the scenery outside the window.

After having gone through so much, the two of them were a little disinterested. They could not help but stop mentioning the incident from a moment ago. They just stood by their respective windows in a daze.

The Ferris Wheel gradually turned to its lowest point. "Mommy, Daddy, we're back on the ground," Anthea said, not wanting to stop.

"That's right, what else does An An want to play?" Seeing his baby, Tao Tian once again had a smile on his face.

"Well," Anthea thought, "I haven't made up my mind." In the end, Anthea came to the conclusion that he didn't know much, after all, and that there were very few wishes.

"Then we'll take a walk around. We'll play when you find out." Lei Zichen was obviously a father who spoiled children.

"Yeah." An Xin happily agreed.

The Ferris Wheel landed steadily on the ground. Lei Zichen carried An An and walked out first, followed by Tao Tian. The three of them were like a happy family of three as they chatted and laughed while walking towards other spots.

Far away, a woman coldly looked at everything. Every single one of their expressions and smiles seemed to be stabbing at her sensitive nerves. She stared unwaveringly at Tao Tian's face and the child in Lei Zichen's embrace, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Seeing that her eyes were becoming more and more red, as if they could burst into flames at any moment, every muscle on her handsome face twitched violently. Her whole hand clenched into a fist, and her veins seemed to be bulging with hatred.

After looking at it for a while, the woman sighed and turned away, leaving behind a cold figure …
