Du Yanheng was willing to take a step back and talk to Yuan Yuan alone.

Seeing that Su Qiao An also wanted to follow her, Zhu Jiangci pulled her back, "It's useless for you to go. This is their problem, you don't have to worry about it."

She calmed down and watched worriedly as Qi Yuan Yuan and Du Yanheng left alone. She no longer had any thoughts of following them.

Su Qiao An was filled with worry, and did not notice that the grip on her wrist had loosened.

"Kui Kui, the little princess can't keep crying. After crying, she turned into a big flowery cat, she's ugly." Zhu Jiangci half squatted as she coaxed Kui Kui, who was still sobbing, into action.

Kui Kui curled his lips. "Uncle Chu, I don't want to go back with Father, I want to stay with Mommy."

"Kui Kui, you have to understand that the person who loves you the most in this world is your parents, so your father loves you as much as your mother. In the future, don't say those words in front of your father, for he will be very sad."

Kui Kui's eyes were red, her nose was also red, her face was full of tears, her eyes were filled with mist, she looked innocently at Zhu Jiangci who was giving her a warm smile, as though she understood something, "Did Kui Kui do wrong?"

"Kui Kui didn't do anything wrong. Uncle Chu just wanted Kui Kui to know that you should never make those who love you feel sad. Kui Kui is so smart, he must understand what is saying, right?"

Kui Kui gradually stopped crying, as though she understood what he was saying, and gently nodded her head.

"I won't let dad and mom be unhappy in the future, but dad hit me …"

She pitifully stretched out her hand, relying extremely heavily on Zhu Jiangci.

"Uncle Chu said that your parents loved you the most in this world. Think about it, if you made them unhappy, would you be unhappy too?"

Kui Kui nodded, her eyes that had been washed by her tears were exceptionally clear and clean.

"So your dad is the same. He's not very happy that he beat you up, so don't blame him. He might just not know how to get along with you."

"I understand, I won't hate dad anymore."

She did not know that Zhu Jiangci had such a side to him.

He, who once hated children so much, was now more adept at coaxing them than anyone else.

Perhaps …

Maybe he would have been a good father, and if everything hadn't been wrong, he might have really tried to be a good father.

"If you don't mind, come with us to the other side to have a bite to eat." Zhu Jiangci hugged Kui Kui and spoke to her.

Su Qiao An regained his senses, looking confused.

Zhu Jiangci muttered to herself: "Kui Kui still hasn't eaten breakfast, she said that she wants to eat something when she's hungry."

"Mother, why don't you go eat breakfast with Kui Kui! I'm so hungry. " Kui Kui extended his hand out to her.

When he was together with Kui Kui, they were like a father and daughter, getting along harmoniously and naturally.

This scene deeply stung her eyes. Her chest felt stuffy as she frantically lowered her gaze and nodded her head.

When she was pregnant, for safety's sake, she didn't dare to go out or wander around. Every day, she would live in that small fist-sized place and occasionally, she would think that after the birth of the child, the family of three might have a day of peace.

Two years later, this was the way she had always imagined it, and she wasn't sure if she should find it ironic or laughable.

"Uncle, I want that!" Kui Kui could not hold on to the potato chips in front of Su Qiao An.

Su Qiao An subconsciously wanted to give the fries to her, but he bumped into the hand Zhu Jiangci held out to him.

His fingertips were cold, and the chill woke her.

Su Qiao An retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, "Take it."

Zhu Jiangci brought the potato chips in front of Kui Kui. Seeing her eat it all with tomato sauce on her hands, he carefully wiped them with a piece of paper.

This feeling was very strange. They were clearly not family, yet she somehow felt a sense of tranquility that she hadn't felt in a long time.

When Su Qiao An finally realized what had happened, the person who took the photos had already walked over to their table.

The one holding the photo was the shop assistant, who smiled amiably and said, "Today is our shop's son's day, I saw that the three of you were so pleasing to the eyes, so I couldn't help but take a photo for you, I hope you don't mind."

Parent Day...

"Isn't he and I …"

"Bring it here" Zhu Jiangci interrupted her.

The employee handed the photo over with a smile. "The two of you are really pleasing to the eyes, and the little friend is also very cute."

Su Qiao An did not see the photo. When the shop assistant said that they were family, she was stunned, and did not refute.

Su Qiao An who was in a daze, did not notice Zhu Jiangci's expression. He saw that the three people in the photo were like a family of three.

"You're welcome. Please enjoy." The clerk took the photo and left.

"Why didn't you explain?" Su Qiao An asked in dissatisfaction.

Zhu Jiangci raised his eyebrows, "Why do you want to explain? You and I are originally a family, and furthermore, why should I explain my relationship with you to an outsider? "

"What a strong argument."

"I'm arguing on the basis of reason." Zhu Jiangci said leisurely.

Su Qiao An extended his hand out, "Give me the photo."

The one who came was not Zhu Jiangci who placed the photo in her hand, but Zhu Jiangci himself who placed his hand on her palm.

"What are you doing!" Su Qiao An wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held on tightly.

Zhu Jiangci looked at her with a profound gaze. "I know you're running away from me."

He was thankful that Su Qiao An's attitude towards him was not as cold and hard as before, but humans were always greedy, and he was no exception.

Right now, he could clearly feel Su Qiao An's caution in the past. He hoped that the other party would respond a little more, but he was also afraid of irritating them.

He tried to suppress his restlessness and persuade himself to take it slow, but when he saw her, the string of reason in his head snapped.

"Let go of me first." Su Qiao An avoided the other party's burning gaze and spoke dejectedly.

She originally thought that Zhu Jiangci would still be stubborn, but she didn't expect him to let go so obediently.

As he was feeding Kui Kui French fries, he said in a low and depressed tone, "I'm 26 …"

Su Qiao An understood.

He was twenty-six years old, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye he was almost thirty, and by then they were no longer young.

In the past, it didn't matter if they were young and proud, or competing with each other. Now, they no longer had the time to waste.

What she couldn't pass through was the barrier in her heart, the deep mark that completely split them apart.

"Zhu Jiangci, I saw from the descriptions of other people that I was miserable and petty. Only on that day did I realize that no matter how strong my disguise was, no matter how glorious my appearance was, it would not be able to cover up my marriage full of holes. Thus, the day I left, I thought that it was time for me to give up on you." Su Qiao An laughed sinisterly.
