The family sat neatly at the dining table. The children looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table with drool.
“Did you not give the children good meals again?” Auntie Yuan looked at Ling Yue with a reproachful look.
Ling Yue shrank her neck with a wronged look. “I still eat takeout myself…”
“How dare you say that!” Auntie Yuan widened her eyes. “When the children are growing up!”
Then, she sighed. “Forget it! Since you are busy with work every day, let the children stay with me for a period of time!”
“Ah?” Ling Yue was a little discouraged.
She had never been separated from the children since they were born. Now that they were going to be separated suddenly, she really couldn’t bear it.
“Don’t worry! I will take good care of them!” Auntie Yuan knew what Ling Yue was concerned about.
“Hurry up and finish your work. Just come here to pick them up!” Auntie Yuan added.
Shen Zhou’s face suddenly appeared in Ling Yue’s mind. Her whole body quivered. Thinking of Shen Zhou’s words and actions that day, Ling Yue felt that he did not intend to let her off easily.
She did not know what his purpose was, but she vaguely felt that she was not at ease. She absolutely could not let him know about the children!
She thought about it, and it seemed like it was a good idea to let the children stay at Aunt Yuan’s house for a while so that Shen Zhou couldn’t discover them!
Ling Yue looked at the children and asked, “Are you prepared to stay at Granny Yuan’s house for a period of time?”
Although the children were still young, Ling Yue had always respected their opinions. Since she wanted them to leave her for some time, she had to ask for their opinions.
First, the eldest child said, “Mom would come to pick us up as soon as she’s done with her work!”
“Mom is working hard! We can stay with Grandma Yuan for some time!” The third child also said, “There’s also delicious food here!”
Ling Yue couldn’t help rolling her eyes when the third child added.
“Idiot! Mom will be sad if you say that!” The sixth child stretched out his small hand and waved it to the opposite, as if he was going to hit the third child.
The third child pouted. “You stop me from telling the truth!”
The fourth child lowered his head and continued to eat. “Well, whatever you decide, it’s okay by me.”
The fifth child grabbed his robot and said, “It’s okay as long as I am with Optimus Prime!”
Ling Yue secretly sighed and realized that her attraction to the children was not as great as she had imagined.
The second child, who had remained silent the whole time, raised his head slightly and looked at Ling Yue. Just when Ling Yue thought that the second child would be reluctant to part and say something to pursuade her to stay, the second child said indifferently, “I agree!”
Ling Yue’s heart was struck again.
She sighed and said to Aunt Yuan, “Then I’ll have to trouble Auntie Yuan to take care of the children for a while.”
“Don’t worry!” Auntie Yuan looked at the children cheerfully and asked, “Granny Yuan will take you to the back hill to see the monkeys tomorrow, Okay?”
The children widened their eyes in excitement and looked eager to go. “Okay!”
Ling Yue once again felt that she was not that important as a mother.
The next day, Ling Yue returned to the city alone, leaving the children with Aunt Yuan.
Looking at Ling Yue’s dejected look, Lu Na thought she was worried about the children. She could not help but advise her, “Sister Ling, don’t be sad. The children should be happy at the farm.”
This sentence struck Ling Yue once again.
“Yes! They should be happy…” The more Ling Yue said, the more aggrieved she became.
Seeing that her comforting words had the opposite effect, Lu Na quickly shut up. Because the children were staying on the farm temporarily, Ling Yue gave Lu Na and the others a holiday.
When she returned to her residence alone, Ling Yue suddenly felt lonely as never before. All these years, with the children by her side, Ling Yue had never felt lonely even when she was in a foreign land.
At this moment, that deep sense of loneliness suddenly attacked her. Ling Yue turned on all the lights in the room, hoping that these lights would warm her up.
She walked into the children’s room, lay on the small bed and closed her eyes. She was the only one left in the once-lively room.
Shen Zhou got out of the car and looked at the brightly-lit room on the first floor.
“According to the investigation, Miss Ling provided us a fake address.” Han Yue said, “This is her actual address.”
Although Han Yue did not know why Ling Yue would provide a fake address, they quickly found the real address.
Shen Zhou’s eyes were fixed on the spot where the lights were shining. A resolute and persistent look came to his face.
This time, I will not let you run away!
