Watching Tao Weiguo's disappearing figure from afar, Lei Zichen paced around the pottery mansion dejectedly. He wasn't willing to just leave like this, but he didn't know what else he could do.

How familiar this place was. The past and everything about Tao Tian were still fresh in one's mind. They rushed towards Lei Zichen like a tide, but there was no time to dodge. When a person began to reminisce, did it mean that he had already begun to age …

At that time, there should have been two pairs of children living a peaceful life, thinking of someone who would only smile once and have no other thoughts. If it was then, I would have been able to keep my heart calm and pray that the day would come early, Lei Zichen raised his face, trying to take in the entire view of the pottery mansion. Therefore, I didn't know, the closer I got, the more frustrated he would be towards the upcoming wedding, don't think like this, he kept on telling himself that this was indeed unfair to Irene.

Lei Zichen turned around and left the pottery mansion. He took one last look at the ancient mansion that was inextricably linked to him, and resolutely walked forward.

”Mr. Lei?” A timid voice beside him called out.

Lei Zichen jumped in fright, afraid that someone would realize that he was following Tao Weiguang.

”Who?” ”You are …” Lei Zichen looked at the handsome man in a suit with a face full of bewilderment. Other than Tao Ran, he hadn't heard that the Tao family had any other children. Then, this person in front of him was …

”Are you Mr. Ley?” The man asked uncertainly.

”May I ask who you are …” Lei Zichen didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.

”My name is Ning Zhiyuan, I'm...” As for his identity, Ning Zhiyuan thought about it before introducing himself.

”She's the eldest young master's former assistant, now she's helping out at the Tao family …” As he thought about Tao Ran, whom he hadn't seen for a few years, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but miss him a little.

”Oh, hello hello.” Lei Zichen realized what was going on. He stretched out his hand to shake Ning Zhiyuan's, but there was still caution in his eyes.

”Why did you come here today?” Ning Zhiyuan was the first to ask, ”Aren't you getting married?”

”Ugh …” Lei Zichen revealed an awkward expression. He didn't know if the person in front of him was a friend or foe. He couldn't help but let out a dry cough, ”It's just that when I passed by, I passed by here …” For a moment, he couldn't think of any better excuse.

”Oh, Mr. Ley, we're not familiar with each other. I might be talking too much.” After all, only he and Qing Qing knew the whole truth of the matter. At that moment, he didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, it was a complicated story.

”What is it?” Lei Zichen's interest was piqued, but anything related to the Tao family would affect his heart.

”Actually, do you believe that there is a miracle in this world? Can you really hold Miss Irene's hand and walk towards the wedding hall without any regrets?” Ning Zhiyuan was in a dilemma. Tao Yao was still alive and raising their children, but he wasn't aware of this. Instead, he was going to enter the wedding hall with another woman. Did he ever know that Irene was part of Tao Tian's current situation?

”I …” The tone of Ning Zhiyuan's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it firmly pierced Lei Zichen's heart. Could he really hold Irene's hand and live the rest of his life without any worries?

Thinking about Tao Tian's face, even though he couldn't figure out the meaning behind the various expressions on his face, he was still deeply infatuated with him. There was also An An. With such an urgent gaze, whose child was this? They were all her children, the children of the people he loved …

He often hated himself for having such thoughts, but he had no way to control them …

”This is my private matter.” Lei Zichen pointed at his waist and said seriously, ”Mr Ning, I guess this has nothing to do with you.” Lei Zichen said with a stern face, ”If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Goodbye.” Lei Zichen was so anxious that he wanted to run away from the manor and Ning Zhiyuan.

”Mister Lei …” Unwilling to give up, Ning Zhiyuan blocked Lei Zichen's path. ”You must believe that miracles exist in this world …” Ning Zhiyuan only repeated this sentence repeatedly. He didn't know what else he could do for Tao Tian, who had no idea where he was …

”Miracle? ”Hmph.” Lei Zichen took a step forward, snorted, and left without another word to Ning Zhiyuan.

As he sat in the car, the word 'miracle' kept appearing in Lei Zichen's mind. Why did Ning Zhiyuan emphasize it like that?

Did he know that Tao Tian was still alive? So what if he knew? Everything had passed, and his own life was about to have a new trajectory …

Lei Zichen stopped thinking and silently started the car, leaving the suffocating pottery mansion …

Back at home, Tao Weiguang took off the bindings and sat on the sofa to rest.

”Opium poppy,” Tao Weiguang said with a cold face, ”This business has a certain level of danger, you must pay more attention.”

”I understand, old master. I will definitely pay attention to it. However, the price isn't agreed upon in front of us. What should we do now?” Opium poppy asked anxiously.

The two could be said to be his right-hand men. Now that they were secretly busy helping him find someone outside, the matters in Yan City were completely managed by them, and the opium poppy was close to forty years old.
