"Okay, Mommy, but you have to be careful." Anthea carefully handed over her ring.

The more he observed, the more familiar this ring felt to him. She tried her best to get closer to the ring, trying her best to get a better look at it, but looking at it, Tao Tian's expression became more and more serious.

"An An, Mommy will return it to you. You play first, Mommy will come to accompany you later." As Tao Tian spoke, he tossed the ring to An An and ran into the bedroom to look around.

"Yao Yao, what happened to you?" Seeing that there was something wrong with Tao Tian's expression, Tao Ran hurriedly followed and asked for the details.

"I'm looking for the jewelry box." Tao Tian replied without even turning his head. His hands hadn't stopped moving as he continued to rummage through the boxes.

"Jewelry case?" Tao Ran was a little stunned. Tao Tian wasn't keen on dressing up, and the few pieces of jewelry he had brought from Yan City were all brought along by Tao Tian for other reasons. He had thrown all the decorations that he had once been a young miss to the Tao family's mansion in Yan City and didn't bring any.

"What do you want jewelry for?" Tao Ran curiously asked.

"I have something to do. I need to find a ring!" Tao Tian was still rummaging through the book seriously. He didn't even raise his head as he spoke.

"Ring?" Is that your wedding ring? " Tao Ran asked in a low voice. After all, Lei Zichen had just left. It was undoubtedly the best way to entrust his thoughts to someone else.

"No, it's a thin ring with an 'L' engraved inside!" Tao Tian loudly replied. He began to rummage through his hands even more busily.

Tao Tian threw all his clothes on the bed and found a small square box of velvet at the very back.

She quickly took out the box from the closet, placed it on the bed, opened the lid and took out all the contents one by one.

In an instant, the bed was filled with clanking sounds. Under the crisscrossing strings of necklaces and bracelets, Tao Tian finally discovered the ring that had been lost in his memories.

"Ah, I found it." Tao Tian gently put it on the ring finger of his right hand and sat down on the bed. She felt a burst of happiness as she didn't understand why she would wear the ring on her ring finger.

She couldn't recall where this ring had come from, but when her heart was in despair and helplessness, she always wanted to face this ring face to face, as if it was a magic ring that could instantly eliminate all her unhappiness and helplessness.

Just now, she suddenly discovered that this ring was very similar to the one that Lei Zichen had given to An An, and even the letters on the inner wall were the same. Could it be that she wasn't lying to him?

Tao Tian looked at the ring in front of him as it began to beat his head non-stop, trying to recall his memories. Why was this memory in his mind so blank that it couldn't be found?

"Yao Yao, what are you doing?" Seeing Tao Tian's strange actions that were close to self-mutilation, Tao Ran hurriedly grabbed her hand and loudly berated her.

In front of Anthea, she was a mother, and in front of Tao Ran, she was more like a willful child.

"I think I must have forgotten something. I want to remember, I want to remember!" As Tao Tian spoke, he continued to pound his head with all of his strength. Her actions were not light. Even the sound of her fist and skull hitting could be clearly heard.

"Yao Yao, your assistant." Tao Ran made a loud sound and ordered Tao Tian to stop.

Tao Tian screamed out with all his might. A fact was faintly confirmed in her heart. She wanted to know, but did not dare to face it. Only by treating her like this would she be able to obtain a moment of relief.

She felt very tired, very tired, after these two days of perseverance.

"Yao Yao, did you hear that!? Stop right there! " Tao Ran used his strength to stop Tao Tian's crazy and violent actions.

"If you want to know the answer, then I'll tell you. If you stop, then I'll tell you!" Tao Ran recalled a day many years ago when Tao Tian returned home in a miserable state. He still had this ring on his finger. That was the scene of her secretly returning home after completing a mission while he was in Japan.

She begged herself, crying, to hypnotize her. Tao Ran used more sophisticated methods to hypnotize her, so he learned from Tao Tian's intermittent narration that Tao Yao had been drugged and had an affair with another man in Paris that night. Afterwards, he investigated secretly and found out about the closed-circuit television recording of the day of the incident and discovered that the man was Lei Zichen.

Tao Ran narrated all of this to Tao Tian bit by bit.

To his surprise, Tao Tian did not go crazy. Instead, he quietly sat there. As the story went on, she unexpectedly smiled.

"Big brother, tell me, is it fate between me and Zichen?" Looking at the ring on her finger that once guided her fate, Tao Tian muttered to himself.

"Yes." Tao Ran nodded. He had always believed that this was fate, especially regarding his younger sister and Lei Zichen.

"Haha," Tao Tian smiled. "Fate is a very subtle word. If the two of us end up together, then we will say, 'Wow, what a wonderful fate.' If the two of us end up hating each other, then this side is truly unlucky." Tao Tian spoke in a relaxed manner, his eyes becoming increasingly red. Sparkling tears constantly rolled down his face. Tao Tian was patiently enduring, not letting them fall.

She had already shed a lot of tears these days, so she didn't want to cry anymore. She was so tired from crying that she didn't even want to look sad anymore.

Tao Tian blankly stared at the ring, not saying another word.

"Yao Yao, you … Are you all right? " These days, he had already repeated these words to her many times, and every time, he would reply with the same answer. Luckily, a stubborn girl like her had a sad face and it seemed that it would bring trouble to others.

"Big brother, actually, I'm not in a good mood …" Tao Tian heavily rested his head on Tao Ran's shoulder. Fortunately, love wasn't everything. There were still many things more important than love waiting for her.

Tao Tian furrowed his brows and quietly stared at the ring for a long time. She silently placed the ring back into the box.

"What difference does it make if it's real or fake?" Tao Tian raised his head to look at his brother, "The process and the end have been decided. If you keep pestering me, even yourself will feel greedy." As he spoke, Tao Tian actually smiled in relief. "I'm already very satisfied to know that I didn't lie to him." Tao Tian said as he cleaned up the messed up bed and cabinets.

"It's getting late. Big brother, let's go prepare dinner. Let's have some good food today to coax An Xin." After tidying up the room, Tao Yao pulled her brother out of the bedroom.

Anthea had switched on the television and was watching the cartoon.

"An An, let's go. Mommy will take you to buy some delicious food. Tell Mommy, what do you want to eat?" Tao Tian recovered his mind. He thought of heaven and hell. She wanted to continue living a peaceful and peaceful life from before.

"I want to eat chicken meat!" It was obvious that An'an wasn't as sad as he was just now as he loudly shouted.

"Alright, let's go buy some chicken meat." Tao Yao carried An An from the sofa and helped him put on his clothes before bringing him out together with Tao Ran. An An was happy, but Tao Tian was able to gain some comfort …

Lei Zichen returned to the hotel in a daze. It was a good car, so he put An An's painting into his hand, smiled, and went upstairs. He opened the door gently, wanting to close himself up as soon as possible, without thinking or remembering anything that would affect his heart.

As soon as he entered the room, he rushed to the bed as usual, still unable to stop the conversation he was having with himself.

Tao Tian, can you forget about me? Forgetting completely and resolutely, as if there has never been such a person in your life to control your life?

He had originally come with a beautiful dream. However, he had never expected that in this life, being in the Heaven Mountain Region and having an old heart in the Azure Province, the matters between the two of them would not be decided by one person. Regardless of whether he was able to call the wind and summon the rain, controlling the fate of others, life would not be what he wanted it to be.

With a lonely smile, Lei Zichen got up, wanting to take a bath. When taking a bath, his mood would always be able to gain a moment of happiness.

"Ring, ring, ring …" The moment Lei Zichen stood up, his phone rang. Without even thinking, he knew it was Irene.

"Hello, Irene. Is something the matter?" Lei Zichen picked up the phone and lazily said.

"Brother Zichen, where are you?" "You disappeared when you said you didn't see me in the afternoon. I was worried about you for the entire afternoon. Where did you go?" Irene's tone was anxious.

"I …" Lei Zichen lay back down on the bed. Once again, he thought of Tao Tianqing's cold face and the image of An'an chasing after him.

"Nothing, there are some things I have to take care of, but it's done. I'm in the hotel now." Lei Zichen spoke casually, trying to suppress the ripples in his heart.

"You're back at the hotel? That's good, that's good! " Irene, who was standing on the other side, clearly let out a sigh of relief.

"Anything else?" Lei Zichen asked.

"No …." "It's fine now." Irene couldn't think of anything she could say to continue the conversation, so she said resentfully.

"Then I'll go take a bath." Lei Zichen said as he was about to hang up the phone.

"Brother Zichen!" Irene suddenly thought and shouted.

"What for? What else is there? " Lei Zichen asked impatiently.

"You … Have you had dinner? I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. " Irene asked nervously.

Lei Zichen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. 17 o'clock, it was indeed the time to start dinner and have a nightlife.

"No. After I finish my shower, let's eat together. You think about what to eat first." Lei Zichen was always this concise towards Irene.

"Alright, alright." Irene seemed to have received an imperial edict, she excitedly went to receive it.

Lei Zichen changed his clothes and walked into the bathroom. The water in the shower was quite large, so he tried his best to make the shower clear him up.

Water, and water related memories of Tao Tian once again came to mind...
