"Xiao Wan, I..." Hao Gang didn't know what to say, his heart was full of emotion. He didn't expect Peng Xiao Wan to have been thinking about him all along.

Peng Xiaowan knew what he wanted to say, so she said, "I know you don't want to get a prosthetic leg because of me and the child, but I care about you too, and I want you to get better."

"Alright, I'll take care of this. Only when you're better can Xiaowan and the baby be better," Peng Shao said at this moment.

"Thank you, brother." Hao Gang finally accepted Peng Shao's arrangement.

Peng Xiaowan cooks very quickly, and she makes mostly home-style dishes. Although they can't compare to the ones Wenrou learned from the state-run restaurant, they are still very delicious.

After the food was served, the family finally started eating.

Professor Peng was in a good mood today, so he asked Peng Shao to bring over some wine.

Their family is finally reunited in Beijing, and their lives will only get better from now on.

After dinner, Hao Gang was about to leave with Peng Xiaowan, but Professor Peng stopped them.

"There's no one else at home, so please don't leave. Staying here will keep me company."

Peng Shao is usually busy with work and only comes back once every few days.

Professor Peng had been waiting for Peng Xiaowan's family to come, and of course he hoped that the family could live together.

His house has four rooms, enough for his family to live in.

Peng Xiaowan looked at Hao Gang. They had originally planned to stay at the guesthouse first and then find a house to live in.

But seeing Professor Peng's gaze, she felt a little embarrassed to refuse.

"It's settled then. You can choose either of those two rooms. Just stay at home and don't bother looking for another place."

Professor Peng made the decision for them without waiting for their refusal.

"I'll leave it to you, you decide." Hao Gang didn't have any objections; he was fine with where he lived, the key was Peng Xiaowan.

"Then stay at home, and you can keep your uncle company too," Peng Xiaowan said, looking at Professor Peng.

Professor Peng can't cook either, so he usually just eats whatever's available in the cafeteria.

After Peng Xiaowan arrives, she can also help improve his life.

In addition, he won't feel lonely after having children at home.

If they live outside, Professor Peng will have to go back to his previous life.

"Then it's settled. I'll go and tidy up your rooms now," Professor Peng said, standing up happily.

Peng Xiaowan stood up and called out to him, "Uncle, I'll go pack."

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll have your brother buy some extra meat and eggs later."

As Professor Peng spoke, he gave Peng Shao a wink.

"Okay, I'll go buy it." Peng Shao got up from the sofa and went to buy the things.

We don't cook at home often, so we have very few ingredients and not much grain left.

Now that Peng Xiaowan and the others are back, they often cook at home.

Peng Shao drove out and bought a lot of things.

He didn't stay home that night either; Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang stayed home to keep Professor Peng company and talk to him.

When Wenrou learned that Peng Xiaowan had returned, she brought the children to visit her the very next day.

The two children were also very happy to see Peng Xiaowan and ran over to hug her.

"Aunt Xiaowan."

"Mom said that Auntie was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and Yaoyao wants to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the future."

Peng Xiaowan reached out and patted their heads. "Okay, Auntie is waiting for your good news."

With Wenrou there at noon, Peng Xiaowan could only assist.

After dinner, Peng Xiaowan and Professor Peng took the children out to play, while Wenrou and Hao Gang chatted about work inside the house.

They ran into Peng Shao as soon as they went out, so they let him join the group of people taking their kids out for a walk.

Yun Shu and Yun Yao were both young when they first met Peng Shao, and they were unaware of his presence.

This was the first time they had met Peng Shao since they came to Beijing.

At first, they were a little shy and hid behind Peng Xiaowan to secretly watch him.

Upon seeing this, Peng Shao introduced himself to them, saying, "My name is Peng Shao, and I am also your uncle."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then looked at Peng Shao.

"Mom said that Uncle Peng Shao bought us a lot of gifts," Yun Yao suddenly remembered and said loudly.

Yun Shu nodded at this moment, as she seemed to have heard her mother mention this uncle before.

Peng Shao is handsome and has a good temperament; both little girls like him very much.

"Uncle Peng Shao, hug me!" Especially little Yun Yao, she stretched out her arms and ran towards Peng Shao.

Who wouldn't like having an uncle with a good image and even better temperament?

Although Wen Jiguang and Wen Jinian, the two uncles, were also good-looking, they did not have the same good temperament as Peng Shao.

Yun Yao liked good-looking people, so she ran up to Peng Shao and hugged him tightly.

Peng Shao was amused by her and reached out to pick her up from the ground.

Yun Shu stood still and politely greeted, "Uncle Peng Shao."

Peng Shao reached out and ruffled her hair. "Good girl, Yun Shu."

The two daughters of the Wen family are incredibly beautiful and adorable. Even Peng Shao, who doesn't particularly like children, found his heart melting when he saw them.

Peng Shao led them to the car and went directly to Wangfujing Department Store.

The two little girls didn't hold back at all and picked out a whole bunch of things they liked.

It was their first time riding in such a car, and they found it very novel.

After Wenrou finished discussing business and came out, the two children were nowhere to be seen.

Only after asking Peng Xiaowan did I learn that Peng Shao had taken them out to play.

She waited at home for a while, until Peng Shao brought them back in the afternoon.

Yun Yao clung to Peng Shao, refusing to let go, and was held in his arms, her little hands wrapped around his neck.

Peng Shao held Yun Shu's hand with his other hand, and the three of them returned with happy expressions.

Wenrou was stunned when she saw the toys and snacks in her two daughters' hands.

She usually buys things for the children, but she doesn't buy this many at once.

If Peng Shao hadn't been unable to fit them all in his car, he probably could have carried the entire department store back with him this time.

Wenrou had no doubt about Peng Shao's abilities; if he wanted, he could buy the entire department store.

She also admired her two daughters, who had truly latched onto the richest man's coattails.

"Yunshu, Yunyao, what did I tell you before? You can't just take things from other people." Wenrou looked at her daughters and put on a stern face.

When the two children saw that their mother was angry, they stood obediently in place, looking aggrieved.

"What do you mean 'other people'? I'm their uncle. What's wrong with buying them some things? You're being too harsh on them. Look how scared the children are."

Peng Shao reached out and hugged the two children, comforting them.

"If you want anything in the future, just come to your uncle. If your parents won't buy it for you, your uncle will."

The two children had just been gently scolded, and now they were crying pitifully in Peng Shao's arms.

Huo Yanchuan saw this scene when he arrived. He happened to get off work a little early today and knew that Wenrou had come, so he came to pick her and the children up.

He was quite surprised to see the two children clinging to Peng Shao so much.

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Yao, come here to Daddy." Huo Yanchuan called out to the two children.

Seeing how much his daughter liked Peng Shao, Huo Yanchuan was a little jealous.

"dad."

Upon hearing the sound, the two looked towards Huo Yanchuan, then got out of Peng Shao's arms and ran towards him.

Seeing how heartbroken they were, Huo Yanchuan held his two daughters and comforted them for a while before calming them down.

Peng Shao smiled at Huo Yanchuan and said, "They've been playing all afternoon and must be tired. Let's take them back to rest early."

Huo Yanchuan responded with a thank you and then took Wenrou and the children back home.

On the way back, the two children fell asleep in Huo Yanchuan's arms.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the military compound, Wenrou and he each carried a child inside.

After putting the two children down, they went back and took all the toys Peng Shao had bought for them inside.

Ever since Wenrou scolded the two children because of Peng Shao, they refused to be close to her for several days.

Wenrou knew that her anger had scared them, but she already owed Peng Shao a lot, and with the two children, it would be even more. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to repay this debt.

She wanted to give the money to Peng Shao, but she knew he didn't need it.

The gifts he bought for the two children were just a token of his affection; it would be too much for her to talk to him about money.

Afterwards, it took Wenrou several days to finally ease the tension between herself and the two children.

Wen Shuzhen's house outside has been renovated, and she no longer wanted to live in the military compound, so she discussed it with Wenrou and moved there.

She had always lived alone before, and she preferred a quieter environment.

It's inconvenient to do anything in the military compound, and getting in and out is like going through a checkpoint. It's much more free to live outside.

Wenrou had tried to persuade her, but she knew her aunt's temperament and in the end she could only let her have her way.

However, she would sometimes bring her children to visit her.

The location for building the transport team has been almost found, and these days, Wen Jinian and Hao Gang are in charge of the decoration.

Since arriving in Beijing, Wen Jinian has been busy with work.

He had also heard about the Tan family's situation from Wenrou, and thinking about how she had to face so much alone, he felt regretful.

If he had known all this earlier, he would have returned to Beijing a little later, and maybe he could have helped her.

According to Wenrou, Tan Lin has now moved from the military compound to a house allocated by her work unit.

He didn't know if Wenrou did it on purpose, but without asking, she gave him Tan Lin's address.

It was already evening when Wen Jinian finished his work.

He originally planned to go back to the guesthouse, but then, for some reason, he decided to check on Tan Lin and ended up at her current place.

He originally thought that Tan Lin lived in one of the company-provided family housing complexes, but he didn't expect that her house was right across from her company. It was a temporary structure, and the temporary workers' quarters were right next to it.

Tan Lin also has a house outside, but sometimes when she gets off work late and doesn't want to go back, she stays here temporarily.

The company has already arranged another house for her in the family compound, but the procedures will take some time, so they arranged for her to stay here temporarily.

She usually closes her bedroom door as soon as she gets home, and nothing usually happens.

She was just too tired today. When she got home, she simply closed the door quietly without locking it, and then fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

She slept for a while, then suddenly felt a hand on her body.

When she came to her senses and opened her eyes, she saw a man standing in front of her bed.

"You..." She was so frightened that her eyes widened. Just as she was about to speak, the man covered her mouth.

In her haste, she felt the man's other hand reaching out to remove her clothes.

Tan Lin, after all, grew up in a military compound and had some experience in grappling techniques.

She raised her foot and kicked the man hard between his legs.

The man screamed in pain as he was kicked, and his grip loosened temporarily.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tan Lin ran outside, shouting loudly as she ran, "Help! Catch the pervert!"

Hearing the noise, everyone else was also awakened.

When the man realized he had been exposed, he tried to run away, but a hand grabbed his shoulder and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Hearing the sound, Tan Lin looked behind her and, in the dim light, finally saw a familiar face.

"Wen Jinian?"

At this moment, Wen Jinian pinned the man who had just bullied Tan Lin to the ground with both hands, punched him hard in the face, and then looked up at Tan Lin, anxiously asking, "Are you alright? Which hand did he use to bully you?"

Wen Jinian's face was full of rage, and he wished he could kill the person on the ground.

Before Tan Lin could speak, he threw another punch at her.

The man screamed in agony as he was beaten, followed by two even more pitiful cries. When Tan Lin came to her senses, she realized that the man's two arms had been broken by Wen Jinian.

She rushed forward to stop him, fearing he might beat her to death.

Even though she was the victim, what if Wen Jinian took the blame for her death?

Wen Jinian was pulled up from the ground by Tan Lin. He looked up and saw that Tan Lin's eyes were red with fright, her face was pale, and she was still trembling.

He couldn't hold back any longer, reached out and hugged her, and said to comfort her, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."

Although Tan Lin is usually very easygoing, she has also practiced some grappling techniques.

But she was, after all, a woman, and the difference in strength between men and women was immense. If she hadn't reacted quickly and kicked that man, he probably would have succeeded by now.

Tan Lin was also quite frightened, and only now did she realize that she had been scared and cried without even realizing it.

She was held in Wen Jinian's arms and it took her a while to calm down.

At this time, the others were also woken up by their noise and rushed over.

The person who had bullied Tan Lin was taken to the police station, and Wen Jinian helped her walk behind.

It wasn't until they arrived at the police station that she realized she had been gripping Wen Jinian's arm tightly with both hands out of fear, her nails digging into his flesh without her noticing.

"Are you... are you in pain?" She was taken aback, then looked up and asked.
