"Is this your child?"

In the Rainbow kindergarten, Nannan and Dou Dou held hands as they walked out of the kindergarten and only saw Xia Mu.

"Mom, how come you're the only one here? Where's uncle?" Nannan looked around but she did not see Mu Dongdong's figure.

Seeing his daughter so anxious due to not being able to see Mu Dong, Xia Mu was a little jealous of the weight Mu Dongfang held in the children's hearts. He pretended to be angry and said, "You're only happy when uncle has to come to pick you up?"

"Oh, mother, are you jealous?" The little girl giggled as she wrapped her arms around Xia Mu's neck and heavily kissed him, consoling him, "Mama, Nannan loves you the most!"

Xia Mu pointed at his daughter's nose and said with a smile, "Ghost!"

Holding a child in one hand, the three of them walked home, talking and laughing.

Not far behind him, a man was holding the hand of a little boy, watching his departing figure without moving for a long time.

Little Fatty Su raised his head to look at his uncle and then at Nannan who was walking further and further away. He thought to himself that he would chase after her but didn't know if he could drag Nannan into her house to play with her.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he went to Nannan's house! Hearing that Nannan had moved, Little Fatty Su had yet to visit her!

"Uncle, uncle." Little Fatty Su shook Shen Yan's arm, the shock on his face made it seem as if he was still floating.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. He lowered his head and looked at his nephew's chubby face.

"Uncle, that person in front is my classmate. Can I have a word with her?" Fatty Su pointed forward with his chubby little hand.

There were many parents who came to pick up their children. Shen Yan was still shocked when he suddenly saw two kids around the same age as his nephew calling Xia Mu 'mother'. From the start, he was unable to see which classmate Su Xiao Fatty was referring to.

"Aiya, I'll go first!" For a long time, Fatty Su did not wait for Shen Yan's reply. He simply let go of Shen Yan's hand, took off his short legs and ran towards the front.

"Nannan, wait for me. Nannan, wait for me!"

Shen Yan paused for a moment and then chased after him.

At the intersection, a gentle breeze blew and Shen Yan stared at Xia Mu. For a moment, a myriad of emotions welled up within him, not knowing where to start.

His gaze moved from the two children to Xia Mu, and from Xia Mu to the children.

The voice of a little girl resounded in his ears.

"Little Fatty Su, why haven't you left yet?" Nannan's voice was clear and crisp.

"Nannan, can you let me go play at your house for a bit?" This was the voice of his nephew, Fatty Su, full of flattery.

Xia Mu calmly looked at Shen Yan. She could clearly see the shock and astonishment in Shen Yan's eyes, as well as his heartache.

Covering his eyes, Xia Mu thought that with his intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess something.

"Xia Mu." Shen Yan's throat was dry and bitter.

"Darling, baby, call me uncle." Xia Mu's expression was calm as he instructed Shen Yan.

"Hello, uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

The children asked politely.

Shen Yan's voice said, "Hello everyone." But why couldn't he say it out loud!

In just two short days, he had found the long-lost Little Qingmei. Before he could express his feelings for her, he discovered that she had already become the girlfriend of a good friend.

Not only that, she actually had two children with her now. This child seemed to be around three to four years old.

Then, this child, Shen Yan's heart, felt as though it had fallen into an icehouse. There were many things he couldn't figure out.

"Xia Mu, is this your child?" In the end, he still asked.

Chapter 339: Heart Like A Knife

Ever since he was young, Shen Yan had always been a proud son of heaven. He had good looks, good studies, a good family background, and during his growth, if one could say that he had any regrets, it would be that he had always patiently waited for the little girl he liked, waiting for her to grow up.

"Yes, my son and daughter." Xia Mu openly admitted it. His bright eyes were bent, carrying a familiar smile on his face.

Once, in the April when the Gardenia Flower bloomed, Shen Yan received a letter from Xia Mu. Shen Yan could not remember the details of the letter, but he still firmly remembered the last sentence of the letter:

Brother Yan, when my exams are over, will you come back to see me?

The words on the envelope were graceful, just like the little girl who was looking at him with her eyes filled with tears.

Shen Yan still remembered his answer:

He said, Foam, I'll go back.

That's right, Grandma Xia called Little Mo'er, but Shen Yan called her like foam.

Froth, froth, used to be a term exclusive to him, it was a little secret between them that he didn't need to reveal. But now, if he were to use this term again, Shen Yan would only feel as if a knife was piercing his heart.

"Foam …" Unable to control himself, the man's lips moved slightly. The frustration in his eyes grew as he shouted out the name that was hidden deep in his heart.

Xia Mu's hands, which were by his side, trembled imperceptibly. She raised her head and said with a smile, "Brother Yan, it's getting late. I'm going to take the children home."

"Foam!" Shen Yan shouted again, almost begging, "Can you stay for a little longer?"

Can you stay a little longer?

In the past, this little girl had always been following him. He was used to being surrounded by her worshipful gaze. Her eyes were so bright, her voice was so pleasant to listen to. He remembered every movement, every smile, every sentence.

He had never forgotten everything.

In the fast food restaurant, three children were huddled together on two chairs, chattering merrily. However, the two adults sitting together didn't say anything.

The orange juice flowed into his mouth through the straw, causing Xia Mu to frown. This change was noticed by the man sitting opposite him.

"I remember that you used to like this the most." The man's clear voice was low.

"Too sweet, I'm not used to it." Xia Mu pushed the cup away and smiled at Shen Yan.

It had been a long time since she'd tasted these sweet things. On one hand, she didn't have the money, and on the other hand, she was trying to set an example for her children.

"Mo Mo, have you been well all these years?"

This question was something he had asked Wang Lan Lan the evening they met. At that time, Wang Lan Lan had answered as follows:

"Not bad, it's just that the food and clothes that are lacking are worn out, and the living expenses that they use up are narrower. As for the money, they earn less."

"It's pretty good." Xia Mu said with a smile.

When they suddenly met that day, Xia Mu did not have the slightest preparation in his heart to see Shen Yan again. For Shen Yan, Xia Mu from back then, there was a young lady's love in his heart.

However, what happened afterwards had completely exceeded the scope of Xia Mu's acceptance. That small bit of haziness had been shattered by reality.

She began to rack her brains, exhausted from the effort to survive. How could she ever recall that hazy figure in her heart again?

She held a grudge against Shen Yan, which is why she lost her head that day.

"Brother Yan, I didn't have a good attitude when I saw you that day. I hope you don't mind." Xia Mu said with a smile.

"Sorry, foam." Other than apologizing, Shen Yan didn't know how to compensate her.

His eyes looked at the two children. They were truly two beautiful and obedient children. Perhaps it was because she had disappeared for five years.

However, Shen Yan actually didn't dare to ask. He didn't dare to ask what kind of trials and tribulations she had gone through in the past five years.

"I really didn't expect you to be Fatty Su's uncle." Xia Mu changed the topic and said smilingly.

Shen Yan looked at the smiling young lady opposite of him. The bitterness in his heart was heavy, but on his face, hung a faint smile.

He looked at her lovingly, listening to her talk with the children.

Seeing her smile, he thought, was a kind of happiness.

Like a dream.

Little Fatty Su sat on the child's safety seat and rubbed his nose. Looking at his uncle, who was sitting in the driver's seat without moving for a long time, he opened his mouth.

"Uncle, are we not going home?"

His thoughts were interrupted by his nephew's words. Shen Yan regained his senses and softly said, "You and Nannan, are you on good terms with each other?"

Seeing her uncle mention Nannan, Little Fatty Su's face was filled with joy as he loudly said: "I like Nannan and want to marry Nannan as my wife."

Shen Yan held onto the steering wheel, the corner of his mouth pulled, revealing a bitter smile, he asked, "Do you know what it means to marry a wife?"

"Of course!" Fatty Su waved his hands, replying in a light voice, "Just like mom and dad, living in the same room and sleeping on the same bed."

Although Fatty Su's words were straightforward, that was what he meant when he married his wife.

Lifting his hand and starting the car, Shen Yan's clear and cold voice sounded out, "Then you have to refuel."

"Un, I will do my best!" Fatty Su promised.

Outside the car window, the street was slowly gliding past. The speed was not fast, Shen Yan held onto the steering wheel, his mind was still thinking about what Xia Mu had said just now.

"Brother Yan, thank you for taking care of me in the past. Now I'm grown up, too, and I'm not a child anymore. What happened in the past, I hope you won't ask any further. We have a new life now. You see, I have two children. They are very obedient, very healthy, and I am already very happy. As for meeting Mu Dongdong, it was my luckiest thing. Brother Yan, I hope to receive your blessing. Will you bless me? "

These words were spoken very calmly, and a smile could be seen in the clear eyes of Xia Mu.

Especially when he mentioned Mu Dongfang, his face was filled with happiness and hope for the future.

Shen Yan's heart suddenly felt at ease. He thought, if it's Mu Dong, then he should be able to give Xia Mu happiness.

He just wanted her to be happy. As for whether or not he could stay by her side, compared to Xia Mu's happiness, it was simply insignificant.

Exactly what happened to Xia Mu five years ago, Shen Yan already had a vague idea. If Xia Mu didn't mention it, he definitely wouldn't poke her in the head.

He was only blaming himself, feeling vexed and regretful.

"Xia Mu, did he treat you well?" The 'he' that Shen Yan was referring to, it goes without saying.

"Very good. He was a trustworthy man, just right, kind, resolute, and brave. He also likes my children. "

Looking at Xia Mu, Shen Yan's lips moved, not knowing what to say.

He looked deeply at Xia Mu, as though he wanted to carve her countenance into his heart. The thoughts he had towards Xia Mu in his heart, this time, he actually couldn't say it out loud.

He had obviously seen her find happiness, but how could he bear to destroy it?!

The car slowly moved forward, and Little Fatty Su looked out the window, thinking back to the scene where he and Nannan met, opening his little mouth wide as he was in a very good mood!

"Uncle, uncle." Fatty Su shouted as he thought of something.

The little boy's voice interrupted Shen Yan's thoughts. He looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "What happened?"

"What time does Mom get off work today?"

"She's on duty today." If he wasn't on duty, Shen Yan wouldn't have gone to the kindergarten to pick up Little Fatty Su and even more so wouldn't have known about Xia Mu's secret.

Fatty Su blinked and suggested, "Then let's go find daddy, okay?"
