"Because I want to call your mommy. Shh, no one is allowed to say anything."

"Mommy won't answer. She's sleeping."

"That will depend on Father's ability. Be good and say good night."

"Good night, Daddy."

After he finished speaking, Leng Muxun actually hung up the phone and giggled at Shishi. "Daddy is really anxious to call Mommy, let's go to sleep."

The two of them enjoyed the interaction between their parents and Mommy the most, which made them feel at ease. It didn't take long for them to fall asleep while lying in bed.

In the next room, Wanqiu who was fast asleep frowned, it was really noisy, "So noisy …" She closed her eyes and was about to reach for her phone to turn it off, but she still wanted to sleep. Other than sleeping, she didn't want to do anything else.

However, the phone was ringing with all her might, so she couldn't touch it no matter how hard she tried.

His phone continued to ring for a long time, but he was awoken by the sound of the bell. He slowly opened his eyes, and unhappily picked up his phone, and just as he was about to answer, the call suddenly stopped, followed by a short message: Zhong Wanqiu, I said that I will return the two agreements back to you tonight, after tonight my words will become invalid.

The implication was that he wouldn't return it to her after tonight.

Wanqiu suddenly sat up, she suddenly remembered that he told her to go to his place tonight, but she had forgotten about it.

White fingers immediately pressed the phone button: I'll be right there, wait for me.

She wanted freedom. Once she got it, she would be free.

Inside the villa, the man raised the goblet in his hand and looked at the ripples that faintly appeared. Did he really have to return the two agreements to her?

At this moment, after agreeing for the first time, he actually wanted to go back on his word.

With a raise of his head, all the wine in the cup entered his stomach. He suddenly realized that Zhong Wanqiu had unknowingly pierced into his heart, and it was impossible to dig out.

It was as if this wine, as long as it fell into his stomach, would become one with him, and would be difficult to expunge.

Then, sit down.

Waiting for her...

Opening the closet in the guest room, there was surprisingly the clothes she had previously slept in. Bai Moyu had actually always kept this room for her.

Their hearts were all moved.

But now, she had to go and get those two agreements. They were agreements concerning her freedom.

After changing her clothes, she quickly left the house. As she raised the car key, she realized that the Volkswagen Beetle was quietly sitting in the Bai Family's garage, but it was empty on the side. It seemed that not only had the Ye Bai Yi Manor left them, it was also Bai Moyu.

Is he busy?

Without enough time to think, Wanqiu started the car, she needed to focus all of her attention, because she was a newbie.

She opened the window wide, letting the night wind brush away her tiredness and the bugs in her sleep. Only then did she gradually regain some energy.

It was still the new year, so there weren't many cars on the road. Everyone was just sitting at home, playing cards or watching TV.

Looking at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock. That man woke up so early, is he not tired?

Was he made of iron?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She really couldn't compare to other people. Why was she so sleepy?

Biting her lips, she calmed herself down. Driving in such a situation with no one to protect her and no one to escort her, she couldn't believe herself anymore.

The car drove extremely slow, causing her to be extremely anxious. She was afraid that after morning, Leng Muxun would not return the agreement to him. That man, could do anything.

In his eyes, other than using them, she was Shishi and Guoguo's mother.

"Sigh …" Sighing, she felt it was foolish to go see him, but if she did not go, then it would be even more foolish. How could she not want something so important? She wanted it back no matter what.

When the car finally stopped in front of the villa, she realized that her palms were covered in sweat.

Pushing open the door, she walked towards the villa's glass door with large strides. From the moment she got close to the villa, the iron door outside had already opened, which showed that Leng Muxun had long instructed the guards to let her in without even informing them.

It had been a long time since he had come here. He still remembered that the first time he came, it was because of his grandfather. However, his grandfather had already been gone for many years.

He would do it for Grandfather, for Min Qiu, but not for her.

When the door opened, the man leaned on the sofa charmingly. He held a goblet in his hand, so transparent that she couldn't tell if there was liquid inside.

"Hey!" She greeted him with a smile as much as possible to make herself more at ease. When she saw him again, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Don't, don't panic, he's nothing to be afraid of, he's just an ordinary man, over and over again, she told herself as she slowly walked towards him, just like an angel walking towards a wild beast.

Seeing her enter, the man lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist, "Zhong Wanqiu, you're ten seconds late." "I don't think I can return it to you."

"No, we have been calculating the time since we first drove into the villa, so Leng Muxun, you cannot go back on your words." What did he take her for? Did he not respect her at all?

With a smile on his lips, Leng Muxun suddenly realized that her anxious look was quite enchanting, "Why are you so anxious, sit down."

She didn't sit down. Instead, she rushed in front of him and snatched the goblet from his hands. "Bang!" The goblet fell heavily on the tea table. "Give it back to me!"

"You were ten seconds late. This is a fact. You can't just ask me to return it to you with a single sentence."

His tone seemed to have relaxed a bit, as if there was the possibility of returning it to her. "Leng Muxun, tell me, what conditions do you need now?" She began to imagine that he would be despicable and shameless again, making her unwilling.

"Sit down." He casually pointed at the sofa across them, "Sit there. Don't worry, I won't eat you."

She sat down. If it wasn't for the item in his hand, she would have slapped him twice for tricking her over. Now she actually said that she was ten seconds late and wouldn't return it.

"Back to the Bai Clan?"

"Yes." Since the children were there, she could only stay there for the time being and planned to head back tomorrow. However, when Leng Muxun asked her about it, it was as if there was something going on between her and Bai Moyu, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"I've said it before, you should stay away from him. Wanqiu, you cannot offend Bai Moyu." He slowly filled his own cup, then poured another cup and pushed it in front of her. "Do as you wish." After he finished speaking, he emptied his cup.

She picked it up and drank. Perhaps if she drank too much, she would have the guts to challenge him. Tonight, she would definitely get back the two agreements that had given her nightmares.

Her mouth was a little dry, and she still wanted to drink. She stretched out her hand to grab the bottle of wine on the table, but her hand was pressed down on the bottleneck, causing his big hand to press down on hers, "One cup is enough, it's not safe to drink for a while."

He was considerate and his words were absolutely correct. Suppressing the anger in her heart, she said, "How can you return it to me?"

His hand held hers, and then he placed her hand in his palm. Her small hand looked especially thick when matched with his, and she saw that the Adam's apple of the man who was looking down at her hand started to gently rise, "Zhong Wanqiu, let's go to Volcanic Island tomorrow, and bring the children along."

"As long as I go with the children, you'll give it back to me?" She was somewhat surprised that he would have such a request.

"Yes."

"But I don't want to go as your wife. It has been half a year and her identity has faded from the eyes of the people of T city."

"You are free." As he spoke indifferently, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a pair of eyes that blazed. He then sneered, "Don't be afraid, we didn't get any proof."

Yes, they never had a marriage certificate. "How many days?" she asked. Ask him everything in advance, don't sell him another day.

"Three days." He was a man, the CEO of Leng's, and he had his own responsibilities. This year, all three days were for Min Qiu, and all three days after, he was going to work for the children.

Perhaps happiness could suppress the smell of blood. The first day's blood really gave him a bad omen. It was as if something was going to happen at any time, making his heart unable to calm down.

"Sure, deal." She smiled sweetly, showing him her absolutely beautiful smile for the first time. It was so dazzling that it caused him to flash for a moment. He even gave her back, releasing her freedom.

The small hand in his palm gripped his hand, which meant that he was announcing that everything had been confirmed.

"Follow me." He stood up abruptly, not wanting to drag his feet. Just like his grandfather had said, happiness was something that could be earned by one's own efforts, not something that could be forced.

Naturally, he took her hand and led her up the stairs, then to the study. The smell of the room reminded her of the book he had kept in the drawer: Just Loves You.

In this lifetime, she didn't know whether she would ever have the chance to see that book containing the photo of him and Min Qiu again, but just being able to bring her into this study once again proved that she was letting go of him.

It felt like he was letting go of her, but it also felt like he was letting go of Min Qiu.

It was the same desk, the same drawer. She stopped because she knew she couldn't get into his old world, so she decided to stay here. That would be the logical thing to do.

He opened the drawer, and in her mind's eye she saw the book she had once read halfway through, the story of always having no ending, the one that had kept her in suspense.

He dropped his long hand, and she couldn't help but think, Is he going to give her the book?

But then, she knew she had guessed wrong. He had brought her here to return the two agreements.
