After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan's mother glanced at her daughter thoughtfully, then waved to Lan's father as if nothing had happened.

"Teacher Lan, come into the kitchen with me. Help me pick some vegetables and give me a hand!"

Lan Yujuan quickly said, "Mom, let me help you!"

Mother Lan waved her hands repeatedly and laughed:

"I don't need you. I just wanted to talk to your dad while I was working."

"You go about your business and take good care of the guests!"

Leaning on his cane, Mr. Lan looked back and forth between his daughter and Chen Mo as he walked toward the kitchen.

Although he was slow, he wasn't stupid and had obviously guessed some of it.

Li Rui was perceptive enough to notice that the two of them were standing there, neither speaking nor sitting down, which clearly indicated that something was going on.

So she went over, took the little one's hand, and gently coaxed him:

"Xiaoman, do you know how to do jigsaw puzzles?"

The little guy tilted his head, suddenly becoming interested, and exclaimed, "Hmm!"

Li Rui tapped her little nose and said with a grin:

"Let's go back to the study and play with the jigsaw puzzle!"

"Auntie brought you a lot of gifts, including a jigsaw puzzle."

Let's play together!

After Li Rui finished speaking, he took the new toy in one hand and the little guy's hand in the other, and happily went into the study.

Only Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo remained in the living room, silent.

"Are you thirsty? Would you like some tea?" Lan Yujuan asked, forcing herself to speak.

"Mmm, drink."

Chen Mo walked to the sofa and sat down, then casually placed the car keys in the corner.

Lan Yujuan glanced at it, then glanced at it again.

I finally couldn't resist, so I went over, picked up the key, and put it back on the cabinet by the door.

"I left the key by the door. Remember to pick it up when you change your shoes."

"Okay, sure."

Lan Yujuan felt a surge of anger upon seeing the man in the living room.

She truly hadn't expected that Chen Mo would dare to find any excuse to follow her back to her parents' home!

He said that he was on holiday these days and was resting at home and not going out.

If it wasn't intentional, why would someone be in such a hurry to find their keys and drive so early in the morning?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

I was wondering how the car keys ended up under the sofa.

Until she picked up the keychain, she noticed that a miniature doll had been attached to it at some point.

Adults can easily overlook this if they are not paying attention.

But children have sharp eyes and can spot things that interest them at a glance.

She finally understood: it must have been last night when Chen Mo entered the house and casually put the key in an inconspicuous place.

The little one picked it up out of curiosity and played with it when the adults weren't looking.

After the initial novelty wore off, I casually tossed it on the ground, and then accidentally kicked it under the sofa.

"Pop!" The water has boiled.

Lan Yujuan glanced at the tea on the cabinet, preparing to randomly pick one to brew.

When she saw the cake of raw Pu'er tea, she suddenly had a "bad idea".

She quietly turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo out of the corner of her eye.

I noticed he was holding his phone, seemingly replying to messages.

Lan Yujuan smiled mischievously, broke off a thick piece of raw Pu'er tea, and put it into the cartoon mug, about three times the normal amount of tea.

After brewing the hot tea, she deliberately waited for the tightly compressed raw Pu'er tea to open up a bit before discreetly serving it to the tea leaves.

"Try it while it's hot? This is a fine tea that my dad has treasured for many years."

Chen Mo looked up at her, without giving it much thought.

He blew on it, took a sip, and after carefully savoring it, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before staring at the tea leaves in the cup, studying them.

"Is it good?"

Lan Yujuan sat diagonally opposite with her legs crossed, laughing blatantly!

She often drinks this raw Pu-erh tea while working in her study.

She was right; it was indeed a fine tea treasured by Mr. Lan for many years, from an ancient tree named Lao Man'e.

When the right amount of tea is used, the aroma of orchids is delicate, the flavor is initially bitter but then sweet, and the aftertaste is long-lasting.

However, if you put in too much tea and brew it too strong, it will be so bitter that you will question your existence, but it will also be quite refreshing!

"Hmm, not bad!"

Chen Mo seemed oblivious to the bitterness, continuing to reply to messages while nonchalantly continuing to drink.

Lan Yujuan sat diagonally opposite, looking suspicious.

He thought to himself: Did I put in too little?

A short while later, Chen Mo's phone rang.

"I'm going to the balcony to answer a phone call."

As he stood up, he casually put down his teacup.

As Lan Yujuan watched him walk away, she stood on the balcony, her back to the living room, answering the phone. She couldn't help herself for a moment.

While observing the movements on the balcony, she quietly moved towards the spot where Chen Mo had just been sitting.

Before he returned, I picked up my teacup and quickly took a sip.

The next second, she regretted it, her face contorted in pain.

To make matters worse, just as she looked up, Chen Mo, who was on the balcony answering a phone call, turned around and looked at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

She's been fooled!

He tried to do something bad but failed, and was caught red-handed!

After finishing the call, Chen Mo stood on the balcony and gave her a look, as if he had seen something.

"Hey, who's that?"

Lan Yujuan felt a chill run down her spine and got up to walk towards the balcony.

"Who is it?"

She had just walked to the edge of the balcony and looked in the direction Chen Mo pointed when, without realizing it, she was drawn into a corner of the balcony.

"You ran pretty fast this morning, why didn't you answer my calls, hmm?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo put his hands on her waist and forcefully pulled her into his arms.

"You slept with me, and you don't want to take responsibility?"

Lan Yujuan's face flushed red as she pushed him away, whispering her accusations:

"You lied to me!"

"Let go of me right now, are you crazy?"

"We'll be discovered soon!"

However, Chen Mo ignored her completely, trapping her in his arms and staring at her with a deep, dark gaze.

"I knew it, there wasn't a single word I wanted to hear."

"Is the tea good?"

Lan Yujuan had no way to deal with him, and snorted:

"Hmph, it's not like you didn't drink it."

"If it's so bitter, how can it taste good?"

Chen Mo looked at her and smiled, "Is it bitter?"

"I actually think the aftertaste is quite nice."

Lan Yujuan looked up at him as if he were a fool.

"Don't believe me? Try it..."

The next second, Chen Mo kissed him forcefully.

At the same time, the study door opened with a click, and the little guy came running out excitedly:

"Mom, I've finished putting it together!"

On the balcony, before Lan Yujuan could even react, Chen Mo had already quickly released her and bounced her a meter away.

Then, as he walked into the living room, he feigned surprise:

"Wow, that's amazing?"

"I want to see it!"

The little guy lay on the sofa, proudly showing off his treasures. Chen Mo truly appreciated it and praised him generously.

Lan Yujuan was left alone, leaning against the balcony railing, laughing so hard her stomach hurt.

Until her gaze inadvertently swept over the playground downstairs, and she saw a very familiar figure playing on a seesaw alone.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on her back.

My ex-husband, Liu Zhiyuan, is still in Hunan!

Lan Yujuan was both scared and angry, and for a moment she didn't know where she got the courage.

She returned to the living room, picked up her phone, and removed Liu Zhiyuan from her blacklist.

Then I went back to the balcony and dialed the number directly...
