n there's nothing for us to discuss." 。“Sister Cui actually knows her limits. She only knows the surface of what happened between Zhuo Yu'an and Wen Jian, no one told her the specific reasons, so she...Shutinglan glanced at Zhu Yu'an from afar and didn't really want to go over. She thought to herself, "You and Lu Kuo are two sides of the same coin, always so high-profile. Do you think I don't have enough to do"

Besides Li Anna and Guo Ran who walked out of the building with her, they first saw the two children that were rumored to be hers. They weren't what they had imagined. Originally, they thought that a single mother raising two children would be very hard, especially with a busy job, she probably wouldn't have much energy to take care of them. But looking at the two children in front of them, they were clean and well-mannered, with a good temperament, just like wealthy kids. Especially from head to toe, they were all wearing brand names, completely unlike their mother's simple clothes.

Look at their uniforms and the backpacks with "Forest City Kindergarten" on them. That's Forest City's best kindergarten, and the tuition for a year is higher than both of their annual salaries. And they have two children.

Is this Shu Tinglan's child

Can such spending be afforded by a single mother like her

After a while, Zhu Yu'an saw that Shu Tinglan had no intention of going over. He took the initiative to walk towards them, and only then did Li Anna and Guo Ran see him.

with a shocked expression, he watched as she gently hugged Shu Tinglan and spoke.

"Seeing me, you seem quite unhappy"

Zuo Yu'an didn't know that Shu Tinglan hadn't made their relationship public at the law firm. He thought it was, so he made that phone call this afternoon. After work, he picked up the children and happily came to pick her up from work.

After all, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

What else could she say at this point

Guo Ran was very curious, so she stepped forward and asked: "Lawyer Shu, who is this"

Before Shu Tinglan could answer, the children nearby had already taken hold of Zhuo Yu'an's hand.

“Daddy, Daddy, let’s go. I’m so hungry! Can we treat Mommy to last night’s delicious dinner today”

"Little Xin wants to go too."

"Good," Zhu Yu'an replied, wanting to hear how Shu Tinglan would introduce him to his colleagues.

Her colleagues, as if they were absent-minded, heard the children call him "Dad" and answered for her.

“Is he your ex-husband”

What Guo Ran remembered most vividly was that her resume stated she was divorced and a single mother. So, naturally, her ex-husband came to mind.

Shu Tinglan saw Zhuo Yu'an's face was ashen, and he felt very happy. He answered Guo Ran cheerfully.

"Yes, my ex-husband."

After that, he also couldn't help but give Zhu Yu an a provocative look.

Li Anna saw it all. Though they didn't speak, the love in their eyes was evident. She suddenly remembered what Shu Tinglan had said in Lawyer Lan's office that morning. It wasn't arrogance after all. Looking at the two children, especially the boy, wasn't he exactly President Zhuo's

So it was, I was being shallow and judging her by appearances. Thinking back to the argument I had with Shu Tinglan over the deal, I felt ashamed of myself for being so awkward and embarrassed. I just greeted her and left.

Zuo Yuan'an had a sullen expression throughout the journey. The two words "ex-husband" weighed heavily on him, and he realized it was time to clear his name. Shu Tinglan, on the other hand, gazed out the window, deliberately ignoring him. His uninvited arrival at her law firm put her in an awkward position.

Xiao Xin was seated in the back with two little kids. In this eerie atmosphere, she really didn't want to go out for a meal with their whole family of four. No matter how fancy the meal was, it wouldn't sit well with her stomach.

So he obsequiously shouted, "Brother-in-law, just leave me at the next intersection. I have something urgent to attend to and can't go to dinner with you guys. Sorry, brother-in-law."

Brother-in-law

She turned to look at her, who was acting like a sycophant. Truly, she's putting her elbow out against her own people.

Xiaoxin stuck out her tongue at her, knowing that Lawyer Shu was all bark and no bite, and wasn't afraid of her.

Zuo Yu'an said that this title of "brother-in-law" was very useful, and his gloomy mood from before had finally improved a bit. He slowly parked the car at the intersection, Xiao Xin ran out of the car like escaping, and dashed towards the subway entrance.

This subway line, Shu Tinglan had ridden countless times before. Suddenly, she remembered many years ago when she had a mental breakdown and jumped onto the tracks. It was Zhu YUAN who risked his life to jump down and save her.

Thinking of this, her heart softened. She was now certain that he loved her, even though she had flaws and was awkward, even though she believed she didn't deserve his love, she was absolutely sure that he loved her.

But she always had a tiny thorn in her heart, something she never uttered. It was from several years ago when her mother passed away and she was alone in the city. She truly fantasized that he would suddenly appear and whisk her away from this muddy life. For a while, she closed her eyes, hoping he'd just show up, especially during her most vulnerable moments. But he never did. This anticipation gradually transformed into resentment. Even now, when she thinks about those years of his indifference, there’s always a nagging feeling in her heart.

Later, with the arrival of Yi Muyang, she poured all her emotions for him into it.

She was lost in thought, reminiscing about the past, when at another intersection waiting for the red light, she suddenly saw a man riding a motorcycle outside her car window. He was wearing a leather jacket and pants, a helmet covering his face, also waiting for the red light. Though she couldn't see his face, that left leg was too obvious; it was Yi Muyang's good friend, Lao Ding. What a coincidence! She hurriedly rolled down the window to say hello, but as the green light turned on, he roared away on his motorcycle.

Zuo Yu'an saw that motorcycle: "Someone you know"

"Well, it's Yi Muyang's good friend Lao Ding. We've met a few times."

"Shu Tinglan, are you intentionally trying to upset me today"

"What"

"A while ago he was my husband, a while ago he was Yi Muyang's good friend."

Shu Tinglan smiled, "Are you jealous"

Zuo Yunan didn't answer. The people behind him, Shu Xiaonian and Shu Xiaohe, heard their names and their eyes lit up.

“Uncle Yi He hasn't contacted us in ages.”

Remembering the scenes Uncle Yi used to play with them, I still miss him very much.

Zhuo Yu'an's face grew even worse: "Is Dad not feeling well"

"Dad is doing well, Uncle Yi is also doing well." Children don't lie to cheer up their aging fathers.

"Just good"

"That's great!" the children answered confidently, though each had their own preference. While their father was kind to them too, he didn't play as many wild and crazy games with them like Uncle Yi. Their father thought any dangerous games were off-limits.

This is really heartbreaking!

Shu Tinglan chuckled beside them. To be honest, Zhuo Yu'an and Yi Muyang weren't the same type of person at all. Zhuo Yu'an was steady, planned everything out, and strictly followed through. Although he was quite loving to his children, his behavioral patterns would naturally be passed on to them. On the other hand, Yi Muyang was carefree, unbound, and sought excitement. And children are at their most curious stage. Coupled with the fact that life was a bit too mundane for them now, they found it less fun being with Uncle Yi.

Zuo Yu'an could only smile wryly, helpless.
