he was willing to pay for my mother's treatment, but on the condition that I become his mistress. I had no choice, my mother's illness required a considerable sum of money, and at such a young age wi...He also hated Chen Xue'ru. Why was she so intelligent and elegant, winning over his parents and sister He resented Xiao Nian. Why was he so well-behaved and adorable, with the whole family's love directed towards him.

Even he, with a face full of disdain, couldn't fool himself. The more time they spent together, the more he liked her, but this liking felt like a betrayal of Zhao Yuning. Thus, his face became even more expressive of disgust.

Heaven knows, every time he scolded Xiaonian and saw the sadness on his little face, he felt even more heartbroken.

After Chen Xue and Xiaonian moved into the Tang family, his life seemed to have added a touch of color. Although this color was anger and unwillingness, it was ultimately a rich and bold stroke.

His parents liked Xiaonian and Chen Xue like very much, urging them to get married. Zhao Yuning knew this and threatened suicide, which he strongly disliked. Tang Shuwen had been trained as the heir of Longmen since childhood, participating in all kinds of training. He often walked on tightropes or lived on the edge of a knife, so he cherished his life and was deeply disgusted by suicide.

But facing Zhao Yuning's tears, he finally relented.

His parents liked Xiao Nian, and he didn't want to go against their wishes. The best solution was for him to marry Chen Xue Ru. They wouldn't interfere with each other, and Xiao Nian could return to the Tang family officially.

He and Zhao Yuning remained unchanged except for that notebook.

That was the original idea.

However…

Tang Shuwen went home all flustered, unable to sleep all night. His eyes were bloodshot. He originally wanted to go and see Chen Xue'ru first, but then he thought about it, she definitely didn't want to see him.

As soon as he got home, he heard Xiao Nian's laughter. She happily called out to her mother, her voice sweet and clear.

Is Chen Xue like here

A smile lit up his face, and he quickened his pace. Sure enough, he saw Chen Xue and Xiao Nian on the sofa. Xiao Nian sat quietly in her arms as she fed him porridge. Tang Si, Wen Lan, and Tang Man Dong were walking around beside them, entertaining Xiao Nian.

A harmonious family.

Tang Shuwen coldly thought, this scene would make someone who didn't know think they were a family, and he was the outsider.

Chen Xue-ru was still wearing her white windbreaker today. The room was relatively warm, and she hadn't taken it off. She had a visible wound on the corner of her lips. Tang Shuwen didn't know how she would explain it, but looking at her smiling face, he felt uncomfortable.

Such a smile, aloof as if untouchable, vanished after a while.

There hasn't been anything as warm as that before.

"Brother, where did you go You didn't come back all night." Tang Mandong saw him come in and couldn't help but frown and ask.

Wen Ran glared at him, Tang Si shrugged his shoulders, and Tang Shuwen said, "We went to the hospital."

"Are you sick AIDS" Tang Mantong asked.

Tang Shuwu came over and twisted her arm. Tang Si and Wen Lan laughed, Xiao Nian timidly called out to his father, "Daddy," Tang Shuwu hummed in response. Xiao Nian saw that his father seemed to be in a good mood today, and he was also very happy. He even ate more enthusiastically.

That was a very beautiful child. With Tang Shuwen and Chen Xue's good looks, the child they gave birth to must be not bad looking. Xiao Nian had skin as white as porcelain, with big black eyes like grapes. Her eyelashes were extra long and curled, her nose was straight, her lips were red and plump, she looked delicate and beautiful. Her bright eyes showed intelligence at a glance, making her very likeable.

He is not much like Tang Shuwenn now, but he is exactly like young Tang Shuwenn.

So, guys also change a lot after the age of eighteen.

Chen Xue-ru lowered her head and fed the porridge. She didn't raise her head until she finished feeding it. Of course, he wouldn't speak to Chen Xue-ru proactively, and Wen Lan and Tang Si naturally also felt that the atmosphere between them was wrong.

The couple didn't speak to each other.

Tang Shuwenn inexplicably felt a surge of anger. In his own home, she dared to ignore his presence. Why should he stay and look at her cold face

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Xue'ru said, "Uncle and Aunt, thank you very much for taking care of me and Xiaonian these past days. I am truly grateful. I think it's time for me to return to my home."

Wen Ran frowned, Tang Shu's text came to leave, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, what was she saying

"Xue Ru, is there anything I haven't been taking care of properly Why would you suddenly say something like that Aren't you and Shu Wen getting married" Wen Lan asked, followed by a fierce glare at Tang Shu Wen, her face still not showing any signs of wanting to appease the situation.

Tang Shuwen coldly stared at Chen Xue'ru, her eyes like ice.

Chen Xue smiled and shook her head, "No, you've been very attentive to me and my son's care, and I am very grateful. It's just... I won't marry Tang Shuwu, so I think I should leave the Tang family."

Tang Shuwen clenched her fists, not marrying him

Damn it, what does it mean to not get married

She had promised to marry him.

Tang Si saw Tang Shuwen's furious face and let out a cold snort. What had this little punk done again Chen Xueru loved Xiao Nian dearly; they had even agreed to marry, so there was no reason for him to suddenly back out.

"Xue Ru, why Didn't you promise to marry my brother What about little Nian" Tang Man Dong said anxiously. She couldn't bear to see this sweet child be separated from his family.

"Mommy, are you sad" asked Xiaonian, looking at Chen Xue with innocent eyes.

The child's innocent words made several adults fall silent. Even a child could see what was happening, how could they possibly ignore it

Chen Xue smiled and shook her head, picking up Xiao Nian and placing him on the sofa. "Xiao Nian, Mommy's leaving. Do you want to stay here with Grandpa and Grandma, or come with Mommy"

"Enough!" Tang Shuwen suddenly shouted, his heart was gripped tightly by this sentence, as if being cut with a knife, the pain turned into anger, "No one is allowed to leave."

Perhaps his tone was too harsh, Xiao Nian was frightened, her big eyes looked at him sadly. Tang Shuwen's heart tightened again, Wen Lan angrily shouted: "Shut up!"

Tang Shuwen sat down angrily, Chen Xue smiled faintly, very grateful for Wen Lan's defense.

Little Nian asked, "Mom, can't we live at Grandpa's house forever"

Chen Xue-ru shook her head. "No."

"Why Aren't we a family" Xiaonian didn't understand, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and Xiaonian, aren't we a family Doesn't a family live together"

Chen Xue's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip, unsure how to answer Xiao Nian's question.

Xiao Nian stood up from the sofa, her small hand touching Chen Xue's lips, "Mom, don't bite your lips, you'll bleed again. Don't cry, Xiao Nian is good, I won't ask anymore. Xiao Nian wants to be with Mom."

Chen Xue-ru held the child tightly, "Baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom let you down." I would keep it. I don't know how long I can live, nor do I know if Bai Ye Uncle could protect me for many years. But I didn't want to be separated from WuShuang like this. She was right; if I didn't...
