Wen Qingruan stared at the unfamiliar number from that "hell," and her heart sank into an icy abyss.

She pressed the hang-up button and added the number to her blacklist.

His movements were so practiced, as if he had done it hundreds of times.

For so many years, she has received these strange calls almost every month during these few days.

It was the Wen family who called to remind her to pay the money.

She gave money to pay for the medical expenses and alimony of the man she should call father.

50,000 per month!

Unwavering!

If Wen Qingruan blocks a number, they will call from a different number until Wen Qingruan pays them the money.

The nightmare will continue next month...

Wen Qingruan lived like this for five years...

They never even asked Lolo how she was doing; perhaps they thought she was long gone.

They don't care at all!

When Lolo was born and was on the verge of death in the neonatal intensive care unit, none of them would treat her.

"Another jinx!"

"He caused such a huge mess right from birth; even if he survives, he'll be a troublemaker when he grows up!"

These are Grandma Wen Qingruan's original words!

Looking at the string of numbers on the blacklist, Wen Qingruan felt a suffocating sense of being in complete darkness.

She slowly lowered the car window, and the cool air eased Wen Qingruan's suppressed emotions slightly.

Fu Yanci noticed that Wen Qingruan was acting strangely, so he stopped the car at the traffic light intersection.

"What's wrong?"

he asks.

Wen Qingruan rolled up the car window and continued looking out.

"It's nothing."

Fu Yanci pursed his thin lips and turned on the music.

The familiar melody flowed quietly through the carriage; it was Wen Qingruan's favorite song, "La Vie en Rose".

The green light came on, and the car slowly started moving, merging into the traffic.

As Wen Qingruan watched the street scene receding past the window, her sinking heart felt as if it were being steadily supported by a warm, dry hand, giving her a sense of security.

But she wasn't happy.

The more considerate Fu Yanci was, the more clear-headed she became.

The tenderness he showed her was nothing more than a way to get revenge on her, to suddenly withdraw when she was completely absorbed in it.

Just like what she did to him back then...

Wen Qingruan didn't blame him.

After all, she was the one who let him down first...

The melodious love song is still the same tune from my memory, but the two people listening to it now no longer have the same feelings as before, and naturally they can no longer taste the sweetness of the past.

The two little ones were extremely excited when the car arrived at the orchard.

Fu Bao was still a little awkward and kept trying to keep her distance from Luo Luo.

After all, Lolo "stole" his mother.

But he couldn't stop Lolo from following him around like a little shadow.

The strawberry grove is in a huge greenhouse, where other fruits are also grown, and the path underfoot is naturally not a smooth road.

The uneven, muddy ground was really difficult for Lolo to walk on, as he had only recently undergone rehabilitation.

But she didn't want to fall behind Fu Bao, so she could only stagger along behind Fu Bao.

As Fu Bao ran further and further away, the distance between the two grew larger and larger. Luo Luo was anxious and accidentally fell down.

"Watch out!"

Wen Qingruan, who had been following behind Luo Luo, was about to step forward to check on Luo Luo's condition.

Fu Yanci stopped her.

"If you want Fu Bao and Luo Luo to get along well, don't interfere too much."

Wen Qingruan said, "Of course I hope they can get along well, but Luo Luo..."

Fu Yanci said, "The soil here is soft, so her fall was minor and she'll be fine."

Moreover, I believe in Fu Bao.

Wen Qingruan didn't understand what Fu Yanci's last sentence meant, or what Luo Luo's fall had to do with believing in Fu Bao.

She turned around and saw Luo Luo slowly get up and continue stumbling towards Fu Bao.

This time, Fu Bao didn't rush forward alone; instead, she slowed down.

Until Luo Luo finally caught up with Fu Bao.

Fu Bao didn't quicken her pace anymore, but instead kept pace with Luo Luo, walking slowly and even deliberately choosing some relatively flat paths to walk on.

Wen Qingruan saw this and finally understood what Fu Yanci meant.

"You've raised Fu Bao very well."

Fu Yanci looked at the child bending down to pick strawberries in the distance, her eyes full of tenderness.

"He was a good kid to begin with, and sometimes his maturity was so touching."

Fu Yanci's gaze slowly fell on Wen Qingruan, the tenderness in his eyes undiminished, even adding a touch of lingering affection that he himself was unaware of.

"It's just like your personality."

Wen Qingruan's expression remained unchanged, not even her gaze.

But she knew her heart was racing.

She had always been deeply in love with Fu Yanci, and now that Fu Yanci was deliberately flirting with her, how could she resist?

She simply repeated the sentence softly.

"It's because you taught me well..."

The two little ones in front were already picking and eating, and the pink juice was soon dripping everywhere.

Wen Qingruan stepped forward and took out a wet wipe.

"You've both turned into two little kittens."

With a smile, Luo Luo picked out the biggest and reddest one from the basket and presented it to Wen Qingruan's lips like a precious treasure.

Fu Bao had actually saved the sweetest-looking one for his mother, but when he saw Luo Luo give one first, his hand, which was reaching into the basket, froze. He didn't know if his mother still wanted the one he had given her.

After all, Mom has always preferred Lolo.

Wen Qingruan reached out and took the strawberry from Luo Luo, then extended her other hand to Fu Bao.

Fu Bao looked at her mother's hand with her big eyes.

What does Mom mean by this?

Wen Qingruan asked with a smile, "Did Fubao pick any big, sweet strawberries?"

Fu Bao was very happy, but having learned from her previous experiences, the little guy was a bit arrogant.

He pointed to the strawberry in Wen Qingruan's other hand.

"You already have one!"

Wen Qingruan said, "Those were picked by Luoluo. I want the ones Fubao picked too, is that okay?"

Fu Bao lowered her head, but her smiling face did not escape Wen Qingruan's eyes.

Wen Qingruan smiled too.

Soon, she had a strawberry in her hand, which Fu Bao had specially saved for her.

Looking at the strawberry, Wen Qingruan exclaimed dramatically, "These are the two biggest strawberries I've ever seen! I almost don't want to eat them!"

Fu Bao and Luo Luo were amused by Wen Qingruan's exaggerated appearance and giggled.

Fu Bao said she wanted to pick another big, sweet one, and Luo Luo followed behind Fu Bao to find strawberries too.

Wen Qingruan watched the two little ones playing together, earnestly searching for the "best" strawberry in the world, and couldn't help but laugh along.

Unbeknownst to her, while she was watching the two children, the man behind her was also watching her the whole time.

The scene before him was the same one that had appeared in his dreams time and time again over the past five years.

During their happiest time, they said they wanted to have two children, a boy who would look like him and a girl who would look like her.

They want to take their child around the world and have the older brother take care of the younger sister.

The scene before him gave Fu Yanci the illusion that a dream had come true.

Now, Wen Qingruan does indeed have a daughter who looks exactly like her, but she has no relation to him...

While she was in a daze, a small hand kept tugging at the hem of his clothes.

Fu Yanci lowered his head and met the face of that miniature version of Wen Qingruan.
