please don't be angry first. I hope you can consider this from the child's point of view" 。I don't want to keep them forever, they belong to the Qiao family after all. I can't be selfish and cut them...Xue Yao tried to sit up, but Chu Yang pressed her down several times.

"I said I wanted to keep my distance, how are you still like this Chu Yang, you're a strange person, you know that We don't seem to be related anymore, what are you doing"

Xue Yao, in a fit of anger, ignored Chu Yang's opposition and struggled to her feet. Then she accused Chu Yang. Such Chu Yang made her heart flustered, troubled her mind, and pained her heart.

"Forget it, I don't want the pendant anymore. Something that people scorn just loses its value even if I get it back."

Xue Yao faced Chu Yang's silence, her heart shattering. She couldn't understand his actions at this moment. He didn't explain or give any indication, and she wouldn't dare to guess wildly. After all, she had been deceived once before.

Chu Yang remained silent. Xue Yao was speechless too, and directly pushed open the car door to get out. This man, she started to hate him. She would never like him again.

Xue Yao wanted to go back to the bar and have fun with her friends, but as soon as she got out of the car and took a few steps, Chu Yang pulled her back. She stumbled and almost fell before Chu Yang caught her. Before she could even react, Chu Yang unexpectedly sealed her lips in a kiss.

Xue Yao was stunned, completely clueless about the situation, unsure how to refuse. It felt like her brain was deprived of oxygen, leaving her head in a fog of confusion.

Chu Yang never expected that he, who was always so composed, would do something so impulsive. Seeing Xue Yao leave, he felt anxious and didn't know how to keep her. In the moment he reached out to pull her back, his lips involuntarily kissed hers.

After the kiss, he realized that Xue Yao's lips were so sweet, and kissing Xue Yao was like experiencing a moment of amazement.

Chu Yang's heart was racing, his blood pumping faster, every cell in his body vibrating with excitement. He couldn't believe the reaction his body was having; this feeling was love, the feeling of romance. Could it be that...

Xue Yao was kissed and staggered back, on the verge of suffocation from lack of oxygen. At that moment, Xue Yao's rationality suddenly returned. They didn't have any relationship, so why would they kiss at random

Xue Yao suddenly pushed away Chu Yang, the anger in her heart turning into tears that swirled in her eyes. She regained her freedom and breathed fresh air again, but her first reaction was to raise her hand and slap Chu Yang across the face.

"Aren't you being too much We broke up, and you know what you did, don't you When we were together, you even deliberately avoided holding hands. Now you regret it, don't you Regret not hugging me, not kissing me, not sleeping with me before the breakup"

Xue Yao was also a stubborn person, and a tough-looking one. Tears swirled in her eyes, but she held them back with sheer force of will.

"Xue Yao, I didn't mean it, I just acted impulsively..."

Chu Yang realized that his actions were too impulsive and quickly explained himself. As for the slap, he was willing to accept it, because he had done too many wrong things to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao didn't give him a chance to explain.

"You lost control You're so funny. Can something like this really be out of control If I just pick any man on the street and sleep with him, would that be out of control too"

"Chu Yang, don't avoid the topic. You think I'm stupid and started using me from the beginning, so you don't respect me at all. If you don't respect me, then I'll stay away from you. Please don't appear in front of me again."

Xue Yao finished speaking, turned angrily and walked away, but Chu Yang still stopped her.

Xue Yao had already had too much to drink, and on top of that, she was angry. Chu Yang didn't feel comfortable letting Xue Yao go back to drinking with those friends.

"What just happened was my fault. You can come find me tomorrow to settle the score, hit me or scold me, I don't care. Now you need to go home."

Chu Yang's attitude was unprecedentedly persistent, and his face was unusually serious.

"Chu Yang, stop this nonsense! What right do you have to order me home I am free and unbound, not anyone's subordinate. Why should I listen to you"

Xue Yao said sarcastically, in her view, what Chu Yang was doing at this moment was a mockery of her. She didn't like him using her, so why did he kiss her, why did he interfere with her private life.

“There’s no need, go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow.”

Chu Yang's entire face fell. He knew he had no right to interfere with Xue Yao's anything, but at this moment, he couldn't just let her go back to drinking. He couldn't bear to see her so heartbroken punishing herself like this.

"Tomorrow I just said, I never want to see you again. How could there be a tomorrow for us. There's nothing left to say between us. Please let go of my hand and leave."

Xue Yao, when she was insistent, was no less formidable than Qin Jingwen. But the catalyst for this obstinacy was love or hate, and what they called love was as deep as their hatred was sharp, which is exactly the situation now.

It seems you don't know how determined I am when I set my mind to something. Aren't you going to listen Well then, I guess I'll just have to force your hand.

As Chu Yang's voice fell, Xue Yao hadn't reacted yet, and the whole person was already off the ground and safely landed in Chu Yang's arms.

"Chu Yang you..."

"I said I'd beat and scold you tomorrow, but now you have to go home."

Chu Yang decisively interrupted Xue Yao's words. He knew what she wanted to say, what she was thinking, but at this moment, he just wanted her to go home safely.

I'm not going home.

"Let's go to the hotel."

"Are you crazy"

"Yes."

Two people verbally sparred, neither willing to back down. At this moment, Xue Yao seemed like the weaker party, unable to resist at all.

Because Chu Yang had already put her in the co-pilot seat and locked the car door, he got in from the other side.

"Madman, you must be crazy! I tell you Chu Yang, even if you take me home, I'll run out. I don't believe you can watch me all the time."

Xue Yao was provoking, protesting, but she hadn't expected Chu Yang's endurance to be anything but casual.

Chu Yang understood Xue Yao's temper; she was a person who always did what she said. To prevent her from running out, Chu Yang didn't send Xue Yao home but went to his own house instead.

Luckily, Xue Yao fell asleep after making a fuss in the car. Chu Yang successfully brought her home and sent her to the same bedroom as before.

City A.

Qin Jingwen went to sleep, while Qiao Shunchen stayed to play with the two energetic children. In the process, his mood gradually improved.

"If Auntie Dani wasn't about to give birth, Daddy would really want to take you guys skiing up North."

Qiao Shunchen had a sudden inspiration. In fact, he just wanted to find more opportunities to go out and play with Qin Jingwen and the children.

"We have indoor skiing here too, we could go."

Half-Moon was playing while answering Daddy.

"Different, artificial snow and natural snow are two different feelings. When it snows in winter, Daddy will definitely take Mommy and you to experience it."

Joe Shunchen has loved snow since he was a child and has traveled to the north countless times to experience it. He thinks snow is romantic and beautiful, and it's even more enjoyable to share it with loved ones.

"Well, that means our family of four can be together again."

Half Moon cheered and ran to Joe Shunchen's side, kissing her dad's face to show her happiness.

At that moment, Qin Jingwen, who had just woken up, walked over.

There's still a year before winter arrives, what are you so happy about

"A year goes by quickly, Mommy said that a person needs hope to live with vigor. I took skiing as my hope, so this year I will study hard."

Ban Yue doesn't quite understand Mommy's words, but she is looking forward to skiing in a year.

"You're so cunning, you can twist anything into your favor."

Qin Jingwen smiled with satisfaction. Although her child didn't fully express their hope, she understood at least that much. That was enough.

"Did you sleep well"

Qiao Shunchen sat on the ground and looked up at Qin Jingwen, his voice low and gentle.

"Sleep well, are you tired I'll take the kids so you can sleep for a bit too."

Yesterday night, in order to stay up for the New Year's Eve, everyone probably didn't sleep well, Qiao Shunchen wouldn't be an exception either. So Qin Jingwen wanted Qiao Shunchen to go take a nap too.

"I won't sleep, dinner will be here soon, I'll eat and then go to sleep."

Qiao Shunchen patted the spot beside him, indicating for Qin Jingwen to sit down.

"Are you really not going back tonight"

Qin Jingwen asked uncertainly, "It's the Lunar New Year, and we're out here. I feel bad for the Qiao family."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about that, I can handle things on my grandfather's side. "

"

Joe Shun-chen spoke with conviction, saying that if things weren't arranged properly, he wouldn't be able to rest easy staying there.

And what about your uncle Letting him stay alone in the suburbs during Chinese New Year

Many people worried about Qin Jingwen's well-being, but she just felt that Qiao Shunchen staying behind was not right.

"Don't worry too much, he knows I brought Xuxu to see you. He's not in the suburbs, he's with his grandpa at Grandpa's place."

"Is it so hard for me to sleep with you for one night It's the New Year, can't I avoid having one less nightmare"

Joe Shunchen knew Qin Jingwen was finding every excuse to get him out, but what he decided and arranged wouldn't be easily changed.

"Another nightmare"

Qin Jingwen sat down and asked worriedly.

"Well, even though I woke up startled this time, it's fine. I wasn't particularly scared because I dreamed that a woman pushed me away."

Qiao Shunchen whispered, and he also remembered the figure in his dream.

"Woman Who"

Qin Jingwen continued to question, maybe this wasn't a dream, it was a memory from Qiao Shunchen's heart. Song Xinzhe hadn't said that Qiao Shunchen had lost part of his memory

"I didn't get a good look, just saw the back of someone."

“But this back, I felt it was particularly familiar, I don't know where I've seen it before.”

Qiao Shunchen mumbled to himself, feeling a sense of deja vu growing stronger with each word. He strained his memory, but the source of this familiarity eluded him.

"A back A woman's back"

Qin Jingwen repeated, suddenly remembering the photo on Qiao Shunchen's phone from his villa.

"The villa on the mountaintop, you said there's a photo of a woman's back on your phone, right Could it be her"

Qin Jingwen wasn't sure either, though she hadn't seen the photo. However, she felt that Qiao Shunchen's dream seemed to match it quite closely.

Qiao Shunchen was taken aback. Qin Jingwen's reminder also reminded him of the photo.

It's very similar, very similar. Both are back figures, just that it’s been many years since I saw that photo, and I forgot what color clothes the woman in the photo was wearing, whether it matches with her dream.

Joe Shunchen remained silent, lost in thought. Just then, Half-Moon walked over and interrupted his train of thought.

"Daddy, where is the villa Mommy talked about"

The half-moon's face was full of curiosity.

"Oh, it is..."

"That's the grandfather's house, that's where the villa is."

Just as Qiao Shunchen was about to speak, Qin Jingwen stopped him. years, this was the moment she had been longing for, the day her wish finally came true. 。"Have you found the victim" Qin Jingwen came to Chi Chuan and asked eagerly. 。No electronic file, found the...
