Chen Jingyan paused for a moment, then forced a smile onto his face.

"Even so, you could use this money to treat Um's illness. Why are you being so calculating with me?"

Nan Shu looked at Chen Jingyan seriously, shook her head, and said firmly.

"Brother Jingyan, I already owe you so much. This kindness is too heavy for me to accept."

After saying this, Nan Shu took out the newly signed contract from her bag.

"I personally retrieved all the core assets you sold. If it's convenient for you today, we can sign another contract now."

Chen Jingyan's smile froze, and he looked at Nan Shu in disbelief.

"You bought all those things? Where did you get the money?"

Chen Jingyan had a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to think about it.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuye, who was standing to the side, said coldly.

"Yes, he's my son. You don't need to worry about these things."

"You're the one who helped bring these things back."

Chen Jingyan took two steps back in disbelief, his voice slightly hoarse.

His gaze shifted to Nan Shu beside him. "Why would you rather he help you than let me?"

"Jingyan, you've already gone through so much. I can't let you make a choice that you'll regret because of me."

Seeing Chen Jingyan like this, Nan Shu felt very bad.

Chen Jingyan was somewhat frantic, staring at Nan Shu with bloodshot eyes.

"I won't regret it, Nan Shu, you know I love you!"

"I thought that after all these years together, you had feelings for me too, didn't you?"

Upon hearing Chen Jingyan's words, Qi Yuye's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He said coldly.

"She can't possibly have feelings for you, and even if she does, it's not the kind of feeling you're hoping for."

Nan Shu felt both conflicted and guilty; she hadn't expected Chen Jingyan's feelings for her to be so deep.

If she had known that Chen Jingyan was only willing to have a fake marriage with her because he liked her, she would have preferred that it never started.

"Jingyan, listen to me, I've always considered you a good friend, I thought you..."

"Stop talking, Nan Shu. These things are yours now, and I won't take them!"

"At least we're still legally married, and I absolutely will not let this man stay by your side!"

Chen Jingyan practically roared out those words, and before Nan Shu and Qi Yuye could react, he took off running towards his car.

Watching Chen Jingyan's departing figure, Nan Shu felt a mix of emotions.

Before she could look away, a dark figure suddenly blocked her way.

Qi Yuye's displeased voice rang out.

"How much longer do you plan to watch him?"

"No, I just feel like he's not acting right, and I'm a little worried about him."

Nan Shu explained subconsciously.

After explaining, Nan Shu belatedly realized what had happened, raised her head, and glared at Qi Yuye.

"What right do you have to tell me what to do? Don't forget you have Lin Xi at home."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye frowned slightly.

"You are my son's mother, and out of concern for my son, I have to take care of these things."

"That's just sophistry!"

Nan Shu glared at Qi Yuye, but her aura couldn't intimidate him in the slightest.

Nan Shu gave up and resignedly turned back to her car.

Chen Jingyan disappeared for several days in a row, and wouldn't even answer Nan Shu's calls. Nan Shu had no choice but to send the signed contract to the Chen family through someone else.

Lin Xi and Qi Yuye were both away from home on the weekend, and Nan Shu wanted to get some rest, but as soon as she turned off her computer, Enen and Nuomi peeked into the room.

"Mommy, what are you doing?"

Hmm came running over in a flash and hugged Nan Shu's legs with both hands.

Nuomi followed the same method and ran over to hug Nan Shu's arm.

Nan Shu looked down at the two little ones surrounding her, and her heart softened instantly.

"Mom just finished work, what's up, hmm?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Nuomi jumped up excitedly.

"If Auntie has nothing to do, could you take us out to play?"

Looking at the expectation in the eyes of the two children, Nan Shu simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Nan Shu reached out and gently touched Nuomi's head, her voice tender.

"Do Nuomi and Enen want to go out and play?"

The two children nodded eagerly, their eyes filled with longing.

Nan Shu smiled slightly and spoke.

"Alright then, how about I take you shopping?"

"Yay!"

Hmm, so happy, she started circling around Nan Shu.

Nuomi was also laughing happily on the side.

After a quick tidying up, Nan Shu took Enen and Nuomi to the city's largest shopping mall.

This place has everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment, making it a great place to go shopping and take the kids.

Nan Shu used to occasionally bring Enen here, and Enen always had a great time every time.

After taking Enen and Nuomi to the amusement park in the underground mall, it was lunchtime, so Nan Shu took the two children to the top floor.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Nan Shu's gaze inadvertently fell on two figures from behind, and she paused for a moment.

Just then, Nuomi suddenly pointed at the two figures from behind and shouted excitedly.

"Aren't those Dad and Mom?"

Upon hearing Nuomi's voice, Nan Shu felt a pang of pain in her heart, followed by a mix of emotions.

Nuomi still calls Linxi "Mom"...

And why is Qi Yuye here alone with Lin Xi? Are they both out on a date today?

Lin Xi held Qi Yuye's hand tightly, and even pressed her whole body against Qi Yuye...

Nan Shu's mind flashed back to the photo Lin Xi had shown her of having a candlelight dinner with Qi Yuye, and her mood immediately soured.

Seeing that Nuomi was about to run over to find Lin Xi and Qi Yuye, Nan Shu quickly squatted down and stopped Nuomi.

"Nuomi, your dad and the others might have something important to do. Shall we go and clean up after them?"

Nuomi blinked her big eyes at Nan Shu, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Suddenly, a big smile appeared on Nuomi's face.

"I get it! Auntie wants to play hide-and-seek with Mommy and Daddy, right? Nuomi loves playing hide-and-seek!"

Nuomi clapped her hands with joy, and after saying that, she pulled Nan Shu away in the opposite direction.

As Nan Shu watched Qi Yuye and Lin Xi getting further and further away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she also felt something fermenting in her heart, making her somewhat uncomfortable.

After shopping for most of the day, the two children finally got tired. Upon hearing them say they were tired, Nan Shu immediately took the two little ones back to the Qi family home.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Lin Xi's voice coming from inside.

There was a crack in the doorway, clearly indicating that Lin Xi and Qi Yuye had just returned.

"Let's have a child, Yu Ye. I want to give you a child that belongs to us."
