Han Yong didn't want to see the cohabitation between Mo Xiaoxiao and Xuan Peng, so he looked into the distance. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the half-built building opposite the hospital.

Just now, he seemed to have seen Leng Ning's silhouette flash past. Wasn't Leng Ning supposed to be in the bamboo forest? Why is he here?

Xuan Peng looked at her and resisted the urge to hug her. He only looked at her with a gaze that was filled with grief and fire, watching as she told him how adorable the son in her arms was.

Her voice was soft and soothing, just as it had been when she had lain beside him and described to him the happy life they would have in the future.

Xuan Peng stood there listening like he was possessed. At this moment, it had been less than a year since they last met, but he thought that they had already gone through several cycles of reincarnation.

In the end, Lin Ping couldn't take it anymore. She rushed out of the ward towards Xuan Peng and growled at him with gritted teeth, ”Xuan Peng, are you going to let Yi Ling suffer the pain alone like this?”

”Auntie, me?”

”My daughter miscarried a child for you, and you still call me Auntie? Xuan Peng, are you even worthy of being a man? It's nice to see your old woman holding her and another man's child, isn't it? ”

These words were said maliciously, and it was said in a reserved manner.

Han Yong felt his face turn hot as he listened. He didn't need to look at Xuan Peng to know that Xuan Peng's face was like a palette.

”Xuan Peng, go. There's no need to be polite between us. There will never be any estrangement between us.” Seeing Xuan Peng's bloodshot eyes, he suddenly felt that he could be this ruthless. She heard himself say, ”If we can't be husband and wife, we're still family.”

”Family?” Xuan Pengchuan repeated the last two words of his: ”Family?”

”Yes, family will never be abandoned. There is always a feeling in this world that is not limited to the narrowness of love and surpasses the suspicion between people.” His last words were sincere.

She had no way to let go of the harm Wang Yiling had done to her, and she knew that it was all because of Xuan Peng, because of jealousy.

But Xuan Peng was still the same Xuan Peng from before. In time, his eyes were filled with jealousy and unwillingness, but he wouldn't harm her and the child in her arms.

”Xiao Yan, can you really only be a family member?”

”Mm. I will give my son a complete home. I won't let him lose his true fatherly love like me.”

”I know, you, take care of yourself Xiao Yan, family, thank you, in the future if you need anything, you can come and find me. If Xiao Meng Han bullies you, just tell me and I will definitely teach him a lesson.” Tears flickered in Xuan Peng's eyes as he finished speaking. In the end, he even flattered himself, ”Even though victory and defeat have yet to be decided between us.”

”Alright.” She nodded and didn't want to continue looking into Xuan Peng's pained eyes. She turned around and left, hugging his son who had stopped crying and continued to sleep.

Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt much more relaxed on her shoulders. Xuan Peng was her past.

Only the past, not the present and the future.

She suddenly wanted Xiao Menghan very much. She really wanted him to be by her side so that she could lean into his embrace and feel that warmth and comfort.
