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

Lan Yujuan hugged the man in front of her tightly, her heart filled with guilt and sorrow.

She even felt that Chen Mo, who was only 30 years old, had suffered from insomnia for so many years, perhaps because of the seeds of his childhood experiences.

If her guess is correct, then the Qin family is the one who started the harming of Chen Mo.

No matter how good the Qin family is to the two of them now or in the future, they can never erase the damage they have caused to Chen Mo at its root.

Just as she was immersed in her own emotions, thinking about how to appease Chen Mo, how to stand on his side, and how to always be on his side,

Lan Yujuan suddenly realized that the man in front of her was starting to act strangely.

"Chen Mo, why are you so hot?"

She subconsciously took a half step back, raised her hand to touch Chen Mo's face, and then touched his forehead.

Do you have a cold?

She clearly remembered that the man was perfectly fine when she left home that morning!

Chen Mo cleared his throat, awkwardly turned away, and dared not face her any longer.

She then adjusted her posture, standing with her legs apart, one in front of the other, and leaned forward slightly, placing her hands on the bar counter, pretending to be interested in the hand-drawn menu on the bar counter.

Ethiopia?

"Is this type of bean fresh from today?"

"Boss, give me a drink!"

As he spoke, he started paying the price on the spot according to the price written on the order form, changing the subject while scanning the code.

"Mr. Lan, I must be the first customer to walk into this coffee shop, right?"

Lan Yujuan also leaned against the bar, tilting her head to look him over while gently shaking her head.

"Not really."

"If we exclude the person who came in earlier and only drank water without paying, you're the second one today."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, clearly dissatisfied with the answer, and immediately let out a soft hum:

"I rushed as fast as I could, but someone still beat me to it?"

"Then I'll become a member; I want to be the first member at this coffee shop!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lan Yujuan to elaborate, he immediately switched to a string of zeros.

Suddenly, a voice popped out from the small speaker next to me: "...Ten thousand yuan has been deposited into your account."

They were both startled at the same time, but after realizing what had happened, they couldn't help but laugh.

Lan Yujuan was overjoyed to receive her first membership top-up.

"Wait a minute, I'll make you coffee right now!"

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Mo's ears out of the corner of her eye and noticed that they were also bright red, as if they had been burned by fire, which was obviously very strange.

His current state is very much like...

A mischievous glint flashed in Lan Yujuan's eyes. She suddenly took a half step back and deliberately moved her gaze down inch by inch in front of Chen Mo in an exaggerated manner.

Chen Mo immediately realized that he had been teased.

Without saying a word, he stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around the person's waist, then placed his palm on his waist and pinned the person directly against the bar.

Then, he took another half step forward, pressed down close to her, and chuckled softly:

"Want to play with fire?"

In an instant, the situation reversed.

The man, who was originally nervous and awkward, completely let go of his inhibitions.

The one who used to be thick-skinned and bold is now as timid as a quail, her face flushed.

While gently struggling, Lan Yujuan pointed to the surveillance camera above her head and said:

"Stop messing around, the security cameras are on."

Chen Mo leaned closer, chuckling softly.

"It's okay, just copy it later and remember to send me a copy."

"Didn't you complain this morning that I didn't have enough energy last night?"

"Let me review it for you again, so that no one with a bad memory will forget what they said when they begged for mercy and then deny it after they get dressed in the morning..."

Lan Yujuan's face turned bright red, as if she were about to burst into flames.

She pushed Chen Mo's face with one hand and his chest with the other, even taking advantage of the chaos to grope him a few times, biting her lip and whispering:

"Get up!"

"If you're so capable, let's settle this once and for all tonight!"

Chen Mo was just teasing her on purpose, and she readily accepted the offer.

However, he never got to drink the coffee he had prepaid for.

After making the coffee, Lan Yujuan packed it up and kept it for herself.

"Until your insomnia is completely cured, you are not allowed to drink coffee, and you can only drink tea in moderation during the day."

Chen Mo complained incessantly, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he was happy to cooperate.

The two tidied up the shop quickly and then went home early after buying groceries.

On the way home, I also made a detour to my parents' house to pick up the little one who's going to school tomorrow.

As the family of three walked hand in hand out of the Lan family's house and downstairs, they happened to run into Qin Zhang and Li Rui, a married couple, who were also walking hand in hand back from outside, at the entrance of their building.

"Yujuan, Chen Mo!"

Qin Zhang's face lit up with surprise when he saw the two of them. "Why are you two back today!"

"Let's go, come to my house for dinner tonight!"

After Qin Zhang finished speaking, he subconsciously bent down and squatted down, wanting to pick up the little guy as usual.

Unexpectedly, the little guy was just getting restless, laughing and preparing to reach out and pounce.

As soon as she looked up, she caught Li Rui's gaze and, startled, immediately withdrew her hand, turned around, hid behind Chen Mo, and whispered:

"Uncle, I'm not going."

"I want to go home..."

Three- or four-year-old children can't hide anything from each other. Lan Yujuan saw this and her smile instantly faded.

"Brother Qin Zhang, you and your wife will be going back to your unit in a few days. You must be very busy preparing these days."

"We are a family of three, so we won't bother you by coming over."

Li Rui stood to the side, remaining silent until he heard Lan Yujuan's polite refusal, then immediately smiled and chimed in:

"Honey, we're all family here, let's make it another time!"

"Tomorrow is Monday, and Xiaoman has to go to school early in the morning, so she definitely needs to go home early to rest."

"I remember Yujuan's new store, it's opening next week, right?"

"We'll definitely have to meet again then, so we can go to the shop to help out as soon as possible!"

Qin Zhang opened his mouth, but before he could stand up straight, Chen Mo had already bent down and picked up the little guy.

"Okay, see you next week then."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he nodded to Qin Zhang, then picked up the baby in one arm and his wife with the other, walked past the two of them, and left.

On the way home, Lan Yujuan held her daughter in her arms, stroking her little head as she gently and patiently asked:

"Was Xiaoman well-behaved at her grandma's house?"

"Does Xiaoman like her new aunt?"

The little guy played intently with his toy, nodding and shaking his head intermittently.

"Grandma said that my aunt is pregnant and can't run around, for fear that I might bump into her."

"My aunt said..."

"After Mom has a little brother, Dad won't like me anymore..."

As the daughter spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

But the content of those words exploded in Lan Yujuan's mind like a thunderclap...
