Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Yu Shinan took the phone and called back.

After a long while, Ding Jing finally answered the phone.

"mom."

"When are you coming back?" Ding Jing asked him directly, her tone not very friendly, and you could sense her tension.

"I'll be staying for a few days; there are still some things to take care of." Hearing her serious tone, Yu Shinan asked, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Ding Jing closed her eyes briefly. "Come back tomorrow."

There's no need to guess what I heard on the phone; seeing is believing. But the flirtatious banter between the young people I heard wasn't something ordinary friends or siblings would say.

Everyone has been young, how could we not understand?

Ding Jing had a terrible headache, and she rubbed her temples with one hand.

"What's wrong? Is there something important?" Yu Shinan frowned; he had indeed been quite busy these past few days.

The matter that Cui Wenxuan and Jiang Zhi were tasked with should be resolved as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Ding Jing remained silent, knowing he could easily give her any excuse, and simply said, "I'm not feeling well and want to go to the hospital for a full checkup."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shinan asked carefully where he felt unwell. Ding Jing, not wanting him to worry, suggested that she get him checked out.

My mother is stubborn and doesn't like to bother others, let alone ask him to accompany her to a medical check-up.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Yu Shinan hung up the phone, and Fu Sichen leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"

"It's nothing, I just want to get a physical checkup."

"Are you feeling unwell? You seemed fine today." Fu Sichen couldn't help but worry. "Why don't you go back now?"

"I had a physical exam last year and everything was fine. It hasn't even been six months, so it should be okay." Yu Shinan smiled and reached out to pull her closer. "Want to go to the supermarket?"

"Okay, okay, I want to go!" Yan Zheng clapped his chubby little hands, extremely excited.

The three of them packed up and drove off. Yan Zheng was always happy whenever he went out.

Yu Shinan picked up Yan Zheng and put her in the back seat. When he turned around and saw Fu Sichen, he didn't let her get in the car. Instead, he slammed the car door shut, turned around, hooked his arm around her waist, and kissed her repeatedly.

"You..." Fu Sichen blushed and slapped him, "What are you doing?"

"I just want to kiss you." The man's eyes were filled with laughter, unable to resist.

"Yan Zheng saw it all." Fu Sichen reached out and gave him a push.

Turning his head, he saw Yan Zheng leaning against the car window, looking out from inside. When he saw them looking over, he covered his eyes with his hand to indicate that he hadn't seen them.

They both smiled.

Once in the car, Yan Zheng clung to the driver's seat and whispered in Yu Shinan's ear, "Uncle, I won't tell Mom, she'll be shy."

The sound was so soft, I thought no one could hear it.

Fu Sichen blushed instantly.

The man smiled, reached out and made a pinky promise with Yan Zheng, "Okay, it's a deal."

"Brother Nan! What have you been teaching him?" Fu Sichen was extremely embarrassed and reached out to hug Yan Zheng, burying his face in the little guy's body.

Children are actually the most perceptive of adults' emotions. A mother's face may be flushed, seemingly angry, but she is not.

The child smiled and hugged his mother, comforting her, "Yan Zheng didn't embarrass you."

Fu Sichen, "..."

She reached out and pinched Yan Zheng's cheek. "Shut up!"

Yu Shinan looked at them through the rearview mirror, feeling completely satisfied.

When they arrived at the supermarket, Yu Shinan pushed the cart and threw Yan Zheng into it, while Fu Sichen walked beside him.

First, I selected vegetables, meat, and essential daily necessities, then I went to the snack section.

A young couple was also there; the girl was sitting in a cart, directing the boy to take out this and that.

Yu Shinan glanced over, then leaned close to Fu Sichen's ear, "Shall we go in? Shall I push you?"

Fu Sichen was taken aback. Seeing the young couple beside her, her face flushed. She turned her head away and said, "No. Yan Zheng is too heavy."

The man chuckled, "Then next time, when we're both together."

Fu Sichen glanced at her, and she affectionately rested her forehead against his arm. "Brother Nan, you don't have to put up with me."

At her age, she might like things different from him, but he's willing to try many things for her that he might not be comfortable with.

There was no grievance.

Yu Shinan reached out and patted her head. "Silly girl, it's not about settling for you."

It is as sweet as honey.

Fu Sichen's eyes crinkled into a smile, while Yan Zheng beside him called out, "Uncle, I want that...that..."

"Which one?" Yu Shinan pointed to two of them, but Yan Zheng shook his head. So the man simply picked up the little guy, lifted him up, and let him take a box of snacks from the top of the shelf. There was a little car on it.

"Do you want snacks or toy cars?" Fu Sichen asked sternly.

Yan Zheng pulled his arm back while holding his snacks, clearly not wanting to let go.

"We'll take this one, is that alright?" Yu Shinan tried to smooth things over.

The little guy nodded happily.

"Brother Nan, don't let him have his way. He's agreed now, but he'll still want more if he sees something he likes later." Fu Sichen glanced at Yan Zheng. This kid can be really crazy sometimes.

This had happened before; if he didn't give it to her, she would wail and cry. In front of so many people, Fu Sichen couldn't bring himself to do it, and sometimes she would let him get his way.

"Really?" Yu Shinan raised an eyebrow at him.

Yan Zheng shook his head vigorously.

"It's alright, if he keeps causing trouble, I'll deal with him." Yu Shinan reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

Yan Zheng shivered.

Fu Sichen then went to the health and wellness section and selected some health products for the elderly. Yu Shinan looked at her, asking with a hint of knowing the answer, "Who are you buying these for?"

"Auntie, you need to be careful as you get older. Some of these brands are used by my mom, and she says they're pretty good." Fu Sichen didn't catch the teasing and ambiguity in his words. "Aren't you going back? Why don't you bring some back for your auntie?"

Yu Shinan reached out and tugged at her ear. "Why don't you come back with me?"

"Huh? Didn't I just come back from there?" Fu Sichen tilted her head, looking puzzled, but understood instantly when she met the man's eyes.

Her face was burning hot as she lowered her head and gently bit her lip.

"It's different." Yu Shinan pinched her little earlobe. "I didn't know you were divorced back then, and I didn't dare to tell you."

Fu Sichen understood what he meant. Her heart was racing. It felt like the two of them had been traveling at breakneck speed. Although she had been looking forward to it for a long time, now that it was here, it felt so fast. She felt a little flustered and uneasy.

Yu Shinan glanced at her and didn't continue the topic. He finished buying the items and went to pay.

Fu Sichen saw him casually grab a few boxes of condoms to pay for together, but she turned her eyes away as if she hadn't seen it, her face burning.

Yu Shinan smiled and took her hand, then turned his head to whisper in her ear, "So easily blushed? What are you thinking about?"

"Brother Nan, you..."

Fu Sichen was speechless. He reached out and patted him, pushing him forward until his head was almost touching Fu Sichen's back.

Yu Shinan didn't mince words; in any case, there was no way he would be allowed to remain a vegetarian on this matter.

He teased her with a smile, "Tell me which brand you like best, and I'll buy that one next time."

Fu Sichen blushed and reached out to cover his mouth.

Yan Zheng was held in the arms and watched the two of them laugh and joke, and he also laughed foolishly along with them.

Yu Shinan chuckled and lightly flicked Yan Zheng's forehead. "You brat, what are you laughing at?"

Yan Zheng covered his head, still grinning.

The bill has been settled.

Both pockets were full. Fu Sichen picked up one of them but didn't expect it to be so heavy, and it wobbled a bit when he pulled on it.

The man reached out, "Leave it there, I'll do it."

He lifted both bags with one hand and held Yan Zheng with the other.

He turned and walked towards the car. Fu Sichen ran over and asked him to give her one, but Yu Shinan refused, saying, "It's too heavy, it hurts my hands."

Fu Sichen didn't press the matter further, but looking at the man's sturdy back, she felt a warmth in her heart.

I feel sorry for her.

She walked over and said, "Yan Zheng, get down and run by yourself."

The young man was lazy whenever he could, clinging to his uncle's neck and refusing to get down.

"Fu Yanzheng, didn't you hear what Mom said?" Fu Sichen put his hands on his hips, angrily saying, "Don't you know how fat and heavy you are? Let Dad..."

Fu Sichen gritted her teeth, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and gently coaxed, "Come down quickly, be good. Mommy will hold your hand and walk with you."

The little guy was easily coaxed and obediently came down.

Yu Shinan watched as she handed her hand to Yan Zheng and led him away. The beautiful young woman had become a mother, and her slender waist made it impossible to tell that she was a mother.

Fu Sichen is pretty and cute, and looks young. Even though she is now twenty-three or twenty-four, she doesn't look much different from someone who is eighteen or nineteen. She is lively and radiant.

But the way she bent down to wipe Yan Zheng's face reminded me of a mother—gentle and delicate.

Yu Shinan couldn't help but think of the miscarriage report.

If that child were still alive, he would be a few months older than Yan Zheng.

The man took a deep breath.

It's okay, Yan Zheng is fine too.

If she were willing, he would love to get married to her today; he would do anything she asked.

After putting the things in the trunk, Yu Shinan looked at her and asked, "Yan Zheng has your surname?"

Unexpectedly, the Han family was able to get Yan Zheng to go with her and even give him her surname.

Fu Sichen looked up. "Brother Nan, what did my second brother tell you?"

"Just tell me you and Han Yi divorced half a month ago." Yu Shinan closed the trunk, went over, and put his arm around her as she got into the car.

"..." Fu Sichen bit her lip lightly. Her second brother was deliberately misleading her.

She and Han Yi weren't divorced; they were clearly never married.

Regarding Yan Zheng's matter, the second brother must have done it on purpose, even making Yan Zheng call him uncle.

Her second brother is really something.

While complaining, Fu Sichen felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Nan Ge really didn't care whether she was divorced or had children with her ex-husband.

A smile appeared in her eyes, and Fu Sichen suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just really like you."

She makes no attempt to hide her love, as open and honest as the most healing little elf.

Yu Shinan's chest felt full; their eyes were only on each other, nothing but each other.

Yan Zheng knocked on the car window impatiently, "Are we going or not? Are we going or not?"

My uncle said we can only take the toys apart when we get home.

Yu Shinan smiled and turned around, knocking on the car window. Yan Zheng instinctively dodged, his round little body rolling between the seats.

Fu Sichen got into the car with a smile, and she followed Yan Zheng's example and leaned over the back of the driver's seat. The little fox licked his earlobe with her tongue, "Brother Nan, I have good news to tell you."

"What?"

"Feed me first, then we'll talk." She smiled slyly, deciding not to say anything now.

Yu Shinan hesitated, then raised an eyebrow and looked up at her. "Didn't I feed you enough this afternoon?"

Fu Sichen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed again. She quickly covered her face with her hands, "Brother Nan, you're so mean! I was talking about dinner."

Yu Shinan chuckled sullenly, started the car, and drove the two children home.

With toys, Yan Zheng no longer needed anyone to take care of him and played by himself in the living room.

While Yu Shinan was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Fu Sichen stood by and watched. She could handle the simple washing and cleaning.

The man wouldn't let her get wet, saying, "I'll do it, you go play with Yan Zheng."

"Yan Zheng can play by himself." Fu Sichen wrapped his arms around him from behind. "Nan-ge, I want to do something with you."

She clung to his waist, moving with him as if she were hanging on him.

Yu Shinan chuckled and decided to let her have her way. "You really don't want to come back with me tomorrow?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, I'm just embarrassed." Fu Sichen buried her face in his back, gently biting her lip through his T-shirt. "Will your mother like me?"

Yu Shinan's back tensed slightly. "How could she not like it? She'd love to have a daughter."

"That's different. Now it's different if I like someone, but it's different if I like my daughter-in-law." Fu Sichen pouted.

"Daughter-in-law?" Yu Shinan suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her.

Fu Sichen suddenly realized what he had said, immediately fell silent, and turned to leave, "I'm going to check on Yan Zheng..."

Her wrist was grabbed and pulled back. Yu Shinan pinned her between the kitchen marble countertop and himself. "If you think it's too fast, we'll slow down. Si Chen, I've been waiting for you for more than just a day or two. I've thought about what to do if I really can't wait any longer, but I have no answer."

"You know how ridiculous I am, even dreaming about you," he said, pressing his forehead against hers. "Do you think Nan-ge is disgusting? At your age, you can only have me in your dreams. I thought you and Han Yi had a good relationship, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I've already hurt you once, and I didn't want to make you sad a second time. But now that you're divorced, I can't stand it anymore. Every day, every hour, every second feels unbearable. I want you to be mine, body, heart, and legally. My little wife."

"So you can't run away anymore. It's no use if you fancy another man, you..."

Fu Sichen suddenly kissed him, her eyes glistening with tears. "I won't fall for anyone else. Brother Nan is the best. The only man Sichen wants is you. I'm just a little shy for a moment."

She bit her lip, her face flushed with shyness.

Yu Shinan took a step forward and pulled her even tighter into his arms. "It's because Brother Nan is in a hurry. This old man is afraid you won't like him, so he wants to take advantage of your confusion and lure you home."

"Ugh. Who said you're old?" Fu Sichen buried her face in his chest. "I love it this way."

Yu Shinan gently pulled his arms closer, and he pleaded in her ear, "Can you stay here with me? Don't go back to your place. If you don't like it here, I'll buy you any place you like. You can decorate it however you want."

"Do you want to live with me?" She wrapped her arms around his strong waist, but couldn't help teasing him.

The man paused for a moment, then said, "I want to have a home with you. A home with me, with you, and with Yan Zheng."

They can have other children if she wants.

He wouldn't force her if she didn't want to.

Fu Sichen couldn't hold back for a moment and burst into tears.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

How could he say something so touching?

"I think this place is great," Fu Sichen sniffed, "but I'd have to redesign it."

"it is good."

"Brother Nan, what kind of girl do you like?"

I like everything you like.

Fu Sichen couldn't help but laugh out loud, pinching his cheek with her slender white fingers. "You're so annoying, I'm not talking to you anymore, Yan Zheng is starving."

Yu Shinan chuckled softly, "Then why don't you go out first?"

Fu Sichen slipped out of the kitchen, glancing back at the back of the busy man inside, her heart filled with joy.

Fu Sichen squatted down in front of Yan Zheng, picked up the toy car from his hand, and said, "Yan Zheng, can Mommy talk to you about something?"

"it is good."

The little guy didn't even lift his head.

"Who bought these toys for you?"

"uncle."

"He's not your uncle. Shaoxing's father is your eldest uncle, and Qinghan's father is your second uncle. He's Yanzheng's father. You have to call him 'Dad'."

"No, Yan Zheng's dad is the real dad." The little guy raised his face and shook his head, not understanding.

"That's your godfather. You should call him Father Han from now on." Fu Sichen reached out and patted Yan Zheng's head.

Children don't understand or comprehend, but the concepts of "daddy" and "mommy" are always distinct from other terms of address.

He pursed his lips, looked down, and played with his toys, remaining silent.

"Zhengzheng," Fu Sichen said patiently to him, "From now on, Mommy will live with Daddy. He will cook delicious meals for us, make you a slingshot, take you to play, and toss you high in the air and catch you safely."

"Like Risen's dad?" Yan Zheng asked, referring to the neighbor's child when they were abroad.

Yan Zheng was very envious.

Fu Sichen nodded.

Yan Zheng tilted his head and looked into the kitchen. After a while, he looked away and lowered his eyelids again. "That's my uncle. My uncle is fine too."

Fu Sichen, "..."

"You can't play with the toys anymore." Fu Sichen reached out and pulled the toys that he had spread out toward himself. Yan Zheng was not happy about this and pounced on them to snatch them.

Fu Sichen stared at his round head. "Zhengzheng, do you want more toys?"

The little one looked at his mother warily and cautiously, nodding and then shaking his head very quickly.

Fu Sichen suppressed a laugh, "If you call me 'Dad,' you'll get lots more toys. The same goes for any delicious food you want. Mom promises, Dad won't confiscate any toys he buys."

"May I?"

The little guy paused for a moment before nodding.

Fu Sichen smiled and pushed all the toys to Yan Zheng, "It's a promise, you have to call me Dad. If you call me Uncle or Mom, all the toys will be taken away."

"Mmm-hmm." Yan Zheng nodded repeatedly. "Mom said it's a pinky promise."

Fu Sichen made a pinky promise with him, patted his head with a smile, and said, "You're so obedient."
