However, this sort of liking caused her to move further and further away from him. This was fate, right? They were destined to be fated to only have fate and not share it.

Wanqiu lied on the sofa, his tone was very calm and his heart very calm: "Xun, let's be friends." Other than her friends, she was nothing. It had already been half a year since their agreement, and she only wanted to give herself the freedom to let the birds fly freely in the sky. She could do that.

"And the children?" He walked in front of her with large strides and looked down at her condescendingly. Suddenly, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

"If you want to see me, I'll let you see me anytime, but the children have to follow me." She had brought up the children all by herself. She absolutely could not be separated from the children.

"Zhong Wanqiu, you can't." If not for the fact that Shishi and Guoguo were still sleeping soundly in the room next door, he would have wanted to pick Zhong Wanqiu up from the ground.

"If you are not willing, then I will leave with Shishi and Guoguo right now." She smiled at him without any signs of compromise. In the past half year, she had experienced the pain of having her name buried under her skin, and now that she wanted to bring the children and give them the best living, she could do it. Her business here was exceptionally good, much better than when she opened the shop on the street.

She was not a dodder, so naturally she was not a woman who was attached to a man.

"Zhong Wanqiu, don't forget, these children are surnamed Leng?" Honestly speaking, he really could not bear to part with Shishi and Guoguo. Blood was thicker than water, and it was always his child. He had not blamed her for hiding the truth from him for six years.

"Hehe, but I gave birth to the children. Do you think that if you let the children choose, she will choose you or me?"

The answer was obvious, the children were afraid of losing her. But then, Leng Muxun smiled again, "Zhong Wanqiu, don't forget that the reason they came out was to find me, they already can't leave me. The children need a father's place, they need a father's love.

Her heart ached. Yes, the children really did need their father's love. She bit her lower lip. Her casual bit made his mouth dry. It was as if he had always reacted to her ever since.

"I said I would allow you to see them. That's enough." She was very calm. Time and experience were already slowly transforming her, becoming mature and confident.

He looked into her eyes, which were as deep and unfathomable as ink. They were no longer as eye-catching as they were in the past. She had changed, becoming unfathomable to him.

Perhaps she still remembered his distrust, but it had been more than half a year.

Pride made him smile. "Up to you, but I hope you'll remember your words and let me see the children anytime."

"Alright." She happily agreed and turned around to face the back of the sofa. She also gave him a back, no longer looking at him.

The living room was very quiet. Even the occasional sound of firecrackers coming from outside the room seemed like a distant dream.

Behind him, that person's breath gradually faded. Did he compromise?

She stealthily turned her head around, and sure enough, he wasn't there. Only while listening carefully did she hear the sound of running water in his room. This man didn't even close the door and bathroom when he was bathing.

After a while, the sound of the water finally stopped. Thinking about the refreshing feeling after showering, Wanqiu felt that her entire body was extremely sticky, but she could only endure.

Wanqiu closed his eyes, wanting to quickly get himself to fall asleep. When he fell asleep, he would no longer know what was going on.

After all, she hadn't slept at all last night because she was searching for the children. Before, she had only woken up because the firecrackers were too noisy on New Year's Eve, but she was still sleepy. Sleep, she was really sleepy.

But just when Wanqiu felt that she was about to fall asleep, a sweet scent of cologne mixed with the fragrance of water floated over. Right after, a soft cloth draped over her body, and Leng Muxun's voice came out of nowhere, "Go and wash, your room is yours, I'll sleep on this sofa."

His low and magnetic male voice suddenly entered her ears without warning, causing her to be startled, then she slowly turned around. Under the dim light of the living room, he was looking down at her from above, his hair was still wet and dripping with water, and the water slid down his face and into his chest before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Have you seen enough?" He smiled openly, "Or should I carry you to bed?"

Few men spoke with such indolence, but he did.

She wanted to take a bath, but she missed the bed. He was the one who said that he was going to sleep on the sofa, and that was only right. She was a guest, wasn't she?

Anyway, she was free as long as she didn't sleep in the same bed with him.

After sneaking into the bathroom, the first thing she did was lock the door, turn on the faucet, and rinse it. The smell of the wine and the sticky water gradually faded under the water, finally returning her feeling refreshed.

After washing for half a day, she finally felt a little better. This day and two nights was really not like living alone, Shishi and Guoguo had truly harmed her greatly. From now on, she would have to face Leng Muxun again.

"Aiya …" Suddenly thinking of Bai Moyu, Wanqiu cried out in fear, and retrieved the children. She had not called Bai Moyu back yet, and was too busy celebrating the new year, too busy accompanying the children, she had forgotten about it.

Outside the door, rapid footsteps were heard. Leng Muxun shouted worriedly: "Wanqiu, what's wrong?" He thought she had fallen down, but when he looked through the bathroom window, he could see her blurry figure completely reflected in the glass. She should be fine, so he was relieved.

"No, it's nothing. You go out, don't come in." She looked at the shadow outside the bathroom in panic. Although no one could see her clearly through the mosaic window, she still felt as if he had seen her naked body, causing her to subconsciously cover her private areas with her hands.

"Wanqiu, don't be afraid, I'm not going in. Tell me what happened." Something must have happened to her, or she wouldn't have shouted so loudly.

But now, under his questioning, she decided not to speak anymore, so Wanqiu cleared his throat and said: "I forgot to tell Moyu about finding the children. Maybe he's still looking for her now, I'll just wipe his body and go out to make a phone call to inform him."

Outside, Leng Muxun said: "No need, I'll call him."

"Xun, I will call myself." Bai Moyu was her friend, she didn't want him to be so warm-hearted.

"That's fine too, I'll go and give you my phone. It's the new year, don't let them keep looking." As he said that, a figure quickly disappeared from the bathroom door. Wanqiu quickly wiped her body, but before she could wrap the towel around her, the door to the bathroom was knocked, "Wanqiu, the phone is here."

Looking at the black figure outside, the hand that held the towel was neither tied nor bound, just as she was hesitating for a moment, Leng Muxun said anxiously: "Zhong Wanqiu, did you hear that? Call me quickly, maybe Bai Moyu is still looking for someone outside."

With that, she immediately unlocked the bathroom door and handed it over with one hand. "Give it to me."

The moment her hand touched his hand, it was as if she had been electrocuted, causing her to tremble all over. She hurriedly retracted her hand, and with a "bang", closed the door of the bathroom, which was too strong for her, causing the door to swing open again. When she was about to close the door, outside, a man was leaning against the wall, making her think back to the night when she had just arrived at this apartment.

It had already been half a year, and she had never thought that she would have such a chance of meeting him again. As a result, she very quickly heard her heart beating rapidly.

Leng Muxun elegantly straightened his body, and then glanced at the dumbstruck her, "I'm going to sleep." It was as if he had just seen a flower or a blade of grass.

Wanqiu finally snapped out of his daze, and frantically closed the bathroom door. She locked it, and then leaned against the door and slowly slid down, the splashing water kept spraying over, which startled her, and she remembered the phone in her hand. Fortunately, the water didn't splash onto the phone, and she was able to move to the side to avoid the water flow, so she quickly dialed Bai Moyu's number.

"Happy New Year."

"Any news from the children?"

Almost at the same time, the urgent question her blessings had sent him arrived. Wanqiu was very apologetic, "Moyu, Shishi and Guoguo have already been found."

"Is that so?" The other party let out a long sigh of relief on the other side of the call, "That's great, Wanqiu, where are you now? I want to see you, and the children. " With joy, Bai Moyu's clear voice pierced through the bathroom along with the water sound, causing Wanqiu to tremble. Could she see him now?

"Moyu, I …"

Her hesitation allowed Bai Moyu, who was on the other side of the phone, to hear some clues. Although the sound of the water wasn't loud, it was clear.
