"I, actually, I am. I came up with Brother Zichen." Tao Ran's eyes made Irene somewhat afraid as she stuttered.

"Oh, the two of you really do love each other. Xiu Xiu even came to our house." Tao Ran impolitely said.

Both he and Tao Tian had clearly seen the scene that had just played out between the two of them.

This Irene must have come with ill intentions.

"Brother Ran, it's not like that anymore." Lei Zichen wanted to explain.

"Shut up, I'm not talking to you." Tao Ran didn't even look at him as he coldly spoke.

"Miss Ai, what instructions do you have for me?" Tao Ran politely asked.

"Eldest Young Master Tao, how dare you?" Hearing the tone of Tao Ran's words, Irene smiled as she went forward to welcome him.

"What is it? We, Miss Ai, don't dare to accept it." Tao Ran coldly snorted. He didn't know if it was because Irene was too good at acting, or if Lei Zichen was too soft-hearted, but the fact that the two of them actually came to their house together made Tao Ran and Tao Tian extremely dissatisfied.

"Let's eat, big brother, auntie." Tao Yao brought the dishes out from the kitchen. She only raised her head to look at Lei Zichen, but didn't say anything. She continued to walk towards the dining table, ignoring Lei Zichen as if he was nothing.

"Yao Yao, why did you leave first today?" Lei Zichen asked softly as he rushed to her side.

"Seeing that you're busy, I didn't dare to disturb you." Tao Tian forced out a smile and said.

"How could that be?" When Lei Zichen recalled this day, he couldn't remember how busy he was.

"Yao Yao, what happened to you today?" Lei Zichen cautiously asked when he noticed Tao Tian's abnormality.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired from work during the day." Tao Tian shot him a glance before starting to arrange the dishes around the table.

"Tao Tian, it's me. I've come to see you. Today on the set, I thought it should be you. You're still alive. How wonderful." Irene, who was behind him, waved her hand at Tao Tian and pretended to say something.

"Thank you for Miss Ai's concern, but we poor people don't need you to concern us." Unable to see the fake look on Irene's face, Tao Tian indifferently said.

"Quickly, don't say it like that. No matter how you put it, you were once the eldest daughter of the Tao family." Eileen pretended not to understand the meaning behind Toshiba's words.

"Miss Ai, our temple is too small for immortals of your age. Besides, we are about to start eating. I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, so, it's better to invite you out." Tao Tian spoke in a relaxed manner, while Irene's face turned red and white. He was clearly giving the command to have the guest leave.

"Tao Tian, don't say it like that. Your place is very good, and it's very warm being set up by you." Eileen wanted to find a way out.

"No way, it's simply incomparable to the Ai family's villa." Tao Tian coldly and humbly replied.

"Miss Ai, are you looking for something? Don't worry, I will help you fulfill your wish. Are we schoolmates or just roommates?" Tao Tian knew what Irene was thinking, so he pointed it out.

In terms of scheming and charisma, she was indeed inferior to Irene. Even if she were to hold hands with Lei Zichen from now on, she would have to live in a state of constant scheming and fear for the rest of her life, which was something she did not wish to do.

Couldn't he live a good life? The more he thought about it, the less courage he had to persevere. This was because he had once been homeless and destitute. Tao Tian cherished him even more as he lived a peaceful life.

"What are you two talking about? What are you playing at? Why can't I understand?" Lei Zichen asked curiously.

"Lei Dong, don't look for Yao Tian in the future. Live a good life with your fiancee." Tao Ran's words were pointed out.

From the dejected look on his sister's face when she returned from work, he could guess one or two things. Sure enough, after repeated questioning, he found out what Irene had done to Tao Tian on the set today.

This man was too dangerous, even a woman close to him would be hurt. Thinking about it, Irene really did love him, otherwise she wouldn't have been this crazy.

"Brother Ran, why did you say that?" Tao Ran's emotional changes were completely outside of Lei Zichen's expectations. He found it hard to accept.

"Not much. It's really Lei Dong. She is more suitable for you than Yao Yao. Furthermore, Yao Yao also has someone more suitable for her. Therefore, it's better for all of you to be happy together." Tao Ran stood with his back straight in front of Lei Zichen.

"What!?" Did she find someone suitable for her? "How is that possible? This morning, she agreed to come back with me to Yan City. We still have peace …" It was obvious that this sudden change in the situation was beyond Lei Zichen's understanding.

"She agreed to return with you to Yan City. Did she promise to return with you immediately?" Tao Ran asked.

"Ah, Zichen. I want to wait until you've settled everything in Yan City before coming back to pick us up …" In Lei Zichen's mind, he recalled what Tao Tianqian had told him this morning. Indeed, she didn't immediately agree to leave with him.

"What's going on?" Lei Zichen was a bit confused by reality, "Yao Yao, what's going on? Tell me!" Lei Zichen loudly shouted at Tao Tian. Why did this woman go back on her word time and time again? What did he do wrong?

"There's nothing to say. Back then when you and Tian Tian were still married, you and she were together. Now that you're entangled between the two of them, she is very disappointed in you." Tao Ran was the sole replacement for Tao Tian, answering every question of Lei Zichen.

"That's because I thought she was dead … We still have peace and quiet! " Clearly, An An had become Lei Zichen's lifeline.

An An's one sentence stabbed right into Tao Tian's heart. His heart was filled with An An's and Lei Zichen's hearts.

Seeing Lei Zichen's pained look, she really wanted to hug his head and comfort him, telling him that these were not her true thoughts. She loved him, loved him very much.

Looking at Irene behind him, he had a complacent expression on her face. This thought of Tao Tian's disappeared in an instant.

"Tao Tian, you actually have a baby? Is it your baby and Brother Zichen's baby? How did we know you were pregnant when you left? " Irene looked at An An, one hand holding the phone, her intent obvious.

"The child is mine. It has nothing to do with anyone." Tao Tian bit his lips as he spoke with great difficulty. Her heart ached for peace and stability, for being in the same room as her father, yet she was unable to recognize him.

"Yes, An An is yours. I'm his father." Lei Zichen pointed at himself and said.

"Child …" Tao Tian looked at An An and saw that An An didn't seem to care about the competition between the adults. He was only focused on playing with his toys.

"The child belongs to Brother Zichen?" Eileen looked at An An with a hypocritical look, but the phone in her other hand kept getting higher and higher. She wasn't far from Tao Tian. Tao Yao raised her face and saw the phone book stopped in front of Tao Weiguang.

She was indeed using her life to threaten her … Tao Tian bit his lips as he looked at Irene's proud expression, deeply helpless.

"Yao Yao, hurry up and say it." Lei Zichen couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and asked loudly.

Tao Tian bit his lips. He didn't want to compromise under Irene's coercion, and also didn't want to threaten An An's life. He only kept silent and didn't say anything.

Tao Ran, who was standing to the side, was also looking straight at Irene. He had seen all these movements, so he naturally knew her goal.

"Child... "Peace …" Tao Yao glanced at An An. He was stunned as he looked at the nervous crowd around him. Clearly, Xiao Moxian didn't know what had happened.

"Speak." Seeing Tao Yao speak, Lei Zichen gestured for her to continue.

"Peace …" "He's not …" Tao Tian spoke each word as it became increasingly difficult to speak. How would she face peace in the future? How would she face Lei Zichen's and Lei Zichen's love?

"He's not yours!" Behind him, Irene's smile was exceptionally dazzling. She was not timid, but she did not want to return to her former life after finally finding a piece of pure land from the worldly strife.

She did not want her son to have a turbulent childhood in the future, even if he did not have to worry about food and clothing. She did not want her son to have a turbulent childhood in the future, even if he did not have to worry about food and clothing, even if he received the best education in the world.

This was the life that Tao Yao had chosen for her. He didn't know whether or not he would hate her in the end, but now, Tao Tian still wanted to give him happiness in his own way.

Tao Tian lowered his head. Lei Zichen's face was gloomy, filled with disappointment, surprise, and even despair. This was not the first time Tao Tian had seen such a look, but he believed that this would definitely be the last. He must hate her to death.

"Wh …" "What?" Lei Zichen lifted his arm with difficulty and pointed it at Tao Tian, "You …" What are you talking about? You... You must be joking... "Right …" Lei Zichen looked at Tao Tian with a face full of anticipation. The salty liquid in his eyes was about to gush out.

"But …" "But …" When Lei Zichen thought of the scene where they were chatting with one another yesterday, he felt as if he was in a dream.

"But I never admitted it in front of you!" With a cold face, Tao Yao tried his best to calm down.

"Good …" "Very good …" He bit his lips as he kept nodding his head, the veins on his face popping out, his eyes turning red, as if he was about to bleed. The reason why he was so happy towards this man with his ability was only because he had met a woman and a child who could warm his heart.

"Then tell me, whose child is he!" Lei Zichen refused to give up, still hoping that Tao Yao would give him a satisfactory answer.

"He is …" Tao Tian's lies were just a temporary lie, so facing Lei Zichen's question, Tao Tian didn't know how to answer. At this moment, her heart was also in a mess, falling in love time and time again, for all sorts of absurd reasons. Yet, she had to be this hysterical.

"Answer me!" Lei Zichen roared in rage. The entire room seemed to have become completely silent. Even the sound of everyone breathing could be heard.

"The child is mine!" Everyone was silent for a while, but Tao Ran suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly. His strength almost surpassed Lei Zichen's. He was also sad and indignant. A woman as calm as his little sister was actually going to suffer like this? The heavens were unfair!
