mosphere.A middle-aged man sitting close to the TV was still waiting for his breakfast. He picked up the remote and flipped through the channels out of boredom, muttering to himself, “These reporters...Fu Yan's thoughts drifted out of the past memories.

Ji Lin saw that her face wasn't looking good, and didn't know that Lu Youguang had almost attacked her. He simply thought she was feeling sick. "To be honest, I was disgusted when I found out."

"It's pretty disgusting," Fu Yan replied absentmindedly.

She originally wanted to bring Jilin here to relax, play with the children, and heal his wounded heart. Unexpectedly, there were these things in between.

She sighed and looked at Xiaoxing hiding behind Xiaxia. She pouted her little mouth, unhappy that the older brother playing as an eagle kept grabbing her.

Xiaoxing is actually Li Qin's child.

Fu Yan sat back down on the bench, lowered her head, covering her face with her hands. After a long while, she looked at Ji Lin with red eyes.

Ji Lin's heart ached too, he walked over and tousled her hair, for a long time he couldn't say a word.

If it had been before, Fu Yan would have definitely slapped his hand away and punched him, but now she just let him mess up her hair, without any reaction at all.

He let out an annoyed tsk, knowing this was exactly what would happen. He hesitated on how to even begin speaking.

"I'm fine, just a little overwhelmed right now."

Although Li Qin is often bullied by Lu Youguang, it's indeed pitiful.

Ke Liqin intentionally inflicted harm upon her, and she would not forget it. She would not erase the past just because of Ke Liqin's pitiful background. That was absolutely impossible.

Now the problem is with Xiaoxing.

Misfortune never spares the family, how could she not understand this.

Now, whenever she sees Xiaoxing's face, the image of Li Qin appears in her subconscious. She accepts Xiaoxing just as she did before, and admits to herself that she can't do it.

She looked at Ji Lin beside her. Compared to her, Ji Lin's pain was just a little more.

Over there, Xiaoxing got tired from playing and ran over to stand between Jilin and Fuyan. She looked up and asked in a crisp voice, "Brother Jilin, Sister Fuyan, why don't you play together"

Ji Lin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xiaoxing looked up, glancing at Jilin then Fu Yan. Seeing that neither her brother nor sister spoke, a smile gradually froze on her face, which was slick with sweat. She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

That's a feeling that strikes the soul.

The bitterness in Fu Yanxin's heart was almost overflowing.

Xiaoxing doesn't know anything.

She was still the little Xing she used to be, just with an extra layer of identity. But that layer wasn't her choice; it was forced upon her, even given to her without consent and left at the side gate of the orphanage.

Thinking of the ice and snow, she was abandoned on the ground by the side door. Fu Yan thought of the child she hadn't been able to keep, and a bitter feeling surged into her eyes.

She took a deep breath, holding back her tears, and bent down to pick up Xiao Xing, putting him on her lap. She smiled, "It's okay, big brother and sister just have some things they haven't figured out yet, they're a little tired."

Xiaoxing leaned against Fu Yan's warm embrace, asking in a confused tone, "Is it a difficult question"

Fu Yan pretended to think for a moment, “It’s a bit difficult.”

Can Xiaoxing help

Fu Yan's lips curved into a bitter smile, masking the past with a warm expression. "Of course, Xiaoxing. As long as you eat well and grow up healthy, you can help us solve problems together. Can you do that"

"You can do it!" Xiaoxing raised her hand and looked at Jilin cheerfully, "Jilin gege, you also have to eat well and grow up strong. You will always be my champion brother!"

Ji Linqiang endured the discomfort in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle, "Who taught you that You're small, but your spirit is big."

Xiao Xing tugged at Fu Yan's fingers, her small face a mixture of pride and aloofness, "I know how to do it myself, I don't need anyone to teach me."

Ji Lin reached out and gently pinched her chubby little face, "That's right, you understand, you're the smartest."

You're the most handsome!

Fu Yan watched the two people compliment each other, as if she had been transported back to the past.

But deep down, she knew that neither she nor Jilin could overcome this hurdle just yet.

On the way back, both Ji Lin and Fu Yan remained silent.

Xia Xia noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two, but didn't dare ask much. She sat in Fu Yan's passenger seat, staring out the window at the scenery.

Suddenly, my phone rang with a WeChat message.

In ten minutes, go downstairs.

It was a dark silhouette that sent the message.

Cao Yuan.ut him.""Okay, let's not mention it again."Li Qin wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered, "Listen to me, okay Don't meet for a while recently. I'm afraid the Huo family will find out, and the...
