still woke her up. She put on a robe and got up quietly.Standing in the hallway, I saw Huo Shaoting holding Shuoshuo and Mingzhu following behind.Wen Man was momentarily stunned.Ho Shao-ting said soft...Little Lu was ill, and Mingzhu woke up early.

The door opened, and Lu Qian met her gaze.

She hadn't slept well the night before, looking a little haggard compared to her radiant self last night. But for Lu Qian, such a beautiful gem only made him feel inexplicably drawn to her.

He peered inside and asked, "How's the child"

Pearl, give it some thought.

She opened the bedroom door and stood just outside, saying, “I’m basically over the fever. Come in and take a look.”

Lu Qian stared deeply at her, and walked in himself.

After making a racket for half the night, Xiao Lu slept soundly.

A fair and delicate little one, wearing a pale pink nightgown, lies on their side in the bed.

A strand of tea-colored curly hair, slips on the pillow.

heartwarming.

Lu Qian reached out and gently touched the child's face, then couldn't help but bend down and kiss him.

The fever has indeed subsided.

He felt relieved and knew it was inappropriate to stay in her bedroom any longer.

He really wanted to get the Mingzhu, but he didn't want her to be criticized by others. She was getting along with the young master of the Si family, and if they broke up one day in the future, it must be because they were not suitable for each other, not because she had an unusual relationship with him, her ex-husband.

Lu Qian reluctantly stroked Xiao Lu You.

He walked out the door, Mingzhu was quite surprised.

Lu Qian spoke softly: “The young master of the Si family might come over in a while, it’s inconvenient for me to stay, I’ll leave first!”

Mingzhu's fingers tightened slightly.

She looked up at him, as if she wanted to say something, but then gave up.

Lu Qian extended his hand.

He also imagined touching her hair as gently as he used to, like both a elder and a lover.

Finally, I can only let go.

As Lu Qian slowly went downstairs, the sunlight streaming through the hallway's glass windows cast a golden glow on his back. Mingzhu was standing right there...

She knows what he's thinking.

He also understood her feelings.

Although they shared the same roof, they couldn't get closer to each other.

There are so many memories, yet they have to be cut off abruptly, and one has to force themselves to choose to forget.

"Lu Qian!" Mingzhu murmured, "Take care of yourself."

Lu Qian's body stiffened slightly.

For a moment, he looked back at her and smiled gently. “It’s cool in the hallway, come on inside!”

The pearl remained unmoved.

Lu Qian still smiled gently, then beckoned to her with his hand, and finally disappeared into the stairwell.

Xiaoshui woke up.

He ran barefoot down the stairs: "Dad!"

Lu Qian turned around and received a silly boy.

She was only wearing a nightgown and barefooted, her feet were cold.

Lu Qian carried the little one to the sofa and wrapped him in a wool blanket. He also found a pair of indoor slippers for him.

Xiaoshuo panted, looking at him.

Lu Qian reached out and touched his little head: "Silly boy!"

"Dad!"

Lu Qian's movements were slower now. He whispered, "I'll come see you again next time!"

"Dad."

Lu Qian hugged him, kneeling half way and holding his son close. His lips pressed against Xiao Shuoshuo's soft hair by his ear, and he spoke softly: "I won't let you call someone else daddy."

He finished speaking and got up, then patted the little guy's head.

When he left, Xiaoshuoshua carefully pulled the woolen blanket tighter around herself, its surface... seemingly still retaining the warmth of her father's palm.

Lu Qian left.

He got into the car and was about to start it when a Cayenne pulled up.

Body side by side.

The car window was facing, and in the other vehicle was Young Master Si.

He was also divorced, but he had no children.

Little Lu is sick, and he's spending time with Mingzhu. It's time to go see him.

I don't want to run into Lu Qian.

Lu Qian nodded slightly at the young master of the Si family through the car window and slowly drove away.

The young master of the Si family was no longer calm.

He extinguished the fire and didn't drive away immediately. Instead, he sat in the car and lit a cigarette.

He likes Mingzhu very much.

I liked it when I was young, but we didn't have fate back then.

Later, they each found other partners, and he thought they would never cross paths again. However, they both ended up single again later on.

The story of Mingzhu and Lu Qian was unforgettable, he knew.

He could accept it, and he also believed in Mingzhu's integrity.

But just now, when he brushed past Lu Qian, he felt a sense of crisis.

Lu Qian will always be the in-law of the Huo family, and he will always be the father of the two children... These things cannot change. Just like today, when the child is sick or the Huo family has a big event, Lu Qian attends.

He has to accept it.

Master Si looked down: he thought, he might never surpass Lu Qian.

Men are always more rational than women.

Master Si already had a decision in his heart, but he was a gentleman. Of course, he would come to see the children and Mingzhu.

Early in the morning, the villa was peaceful.

The servant attended to him and then went upstairs to report.

He couldn't help but think, perhaps Lu Qian coming over didn't require a report, but could directly stay the night, or even enter her boudoir...

Daydreaming, Mingzhu goes downstairs.

She was clearly made up, her long hair styled up, and she wore an appropriate outfit.

She wasn't even wearing slippers.

When she came to his side, he looked at her beautiful face and thought, Lu Qian must have seen her haggard appearance. Just like last night when Xiao Lu had a fever, she unhesitatingly chose Lu Qian to accompany her.

These unconscious actions, Mingzhu may not have noticed.

The young master of the Si family took out a toy.

That's what the little girl likes.

Míngzhū took it over and smiled faintly: "Thank you."

Master Si gazed at her, and in a soft voice asked, "May I go see her in the bedroom"

Mingzhu was startled.

She came to and hummed in response.

The two of them arrived on the second floor and entered her bedroom. The little one was still asleep.

Soft and tender.

A very likable little girl.

He/She looks very good, just like... dad.

Master Si couldn't help but touch the soft, tea-colored curls, and whispered, "There was something I wanted to tell you last night."

In his pocket, there was an engagement ring.

Last night he was going to propose to her, but she left first.

Then she realized what was happening, but didn't speak. She just looked at him.

Master Si is very kind: "Let's find some time to talk!" went pale and said, "I'm going to the restroom."Huo Xi sat in the lounge, flipping through documents. The snacks before him remained untouched.It took Zhang Chongguang about 15 minutes to come out of...
