In the early morning, when the sun spilled into the room, Fu Yuchen's eyes moved and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He opened his eyes in a daze and saw an unfamiliar environment. He was at a loss. "This is...?"

Fu Yuchen wanted to sit up, but he was surprised to find that the blanket was pressed down by something. He turned around and was even more confused.

"Xia Zhiqiu?" Fu Yuchen clearly remembered that he had been drinking yesterday. Why was he with Xia Zhiqiu now?

"Dad..." Mengmeng had dragged her brother over to see Fu Yuchen in the morning. When he woke up, she couldn't help but call out cautiously.

Fu Yuchen was stunned by the soft voice. He remembered that voice. Wasn't it the voice of Xia Zhiqiu's daughter?

Fu Yuchen turned his head and saw Mengmeng and Chenchen, the two children, sitting obediently next to him, looking at him. "Mengmeng? You... What did you just call me?"

Chenchen was shocked. He quickly pulled Mengmeng back and covered her mouth: "Shh, Mengmeng, what are you shouting for?"

At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu also felt that someone was talking around her. She turned her head and slowly opened her eyes.

However, her movements were so small that none of them noticed. Mengmeng was even more persistent with Fu Yuchen. Even when her brother pulled her back, she muttered, "Dad."

Not only did calling him Daddy upset Fu Yuchen, but it also woke Xia Zhiqiu up instantly. She immediately jumped up and covered Mengmeng's mouth. "Mengmeng darling, what are you shouting for? Why aren't you obediently going out with your brother to wash up?"

Seeing that his mommy was unhappy, Chenchen quickly pulled the corner of his sister's clothes obediently.

"But Mommy, Daddy, he..." Mengmeng's big eyes twinkled with reluctance. She hadn't looked at her father for long.

She had liked this uncle from the very beginning. It had been so long since Mommy had found a father for them, and Mengmeng thought it was appropriate. He looked like her brother, and yesterday the doctor uncle had said that this uncle was her father.

Xia Zhiqiu frowned: "Mengmeng! Why aren't you listening to Mommy's words anymore?"

This made Fu Yuchen misunderstand what to do. She did not intend to use the child to threaten Fu Yuchen and make up with him.

Mummy's tone was already somewhat angry, Chenchen quickly pulled Mengmeng away: "Alright, Mengmeng, let's go down first. Don't make Mommy angry again."

Mengmeng also realized that Mommy was in a bad mood, so she pursed her lips and reluctantly left with her brother.

Although the two children had left, after what had just happened, Xia Zhiqiu somehow felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. Now, with her back to Fu Yuchen, she didn't even dare to turn her head to look at his expression.

"What? Don't you need to explain?" Fu Yuchen tilted his head and looked at Xia Zhiqiu's side profile, breaking the silence.

Xia Zhiqiu was startled. "Ah? Wh... What?"

"Mengmeng called me Daddy just now. Don't you think you should give me an explanation?" Fu Yuchen didn't want to miss this opportunity and asked directly.

A few years ago, Xia Zhiqiu had abandoned him and left. A few years later, she returned with the child. He wanted to know if the child was Lu Xiuming's or his.

Xia Zhiqiu did not dare to face him. She told Fu Yuchen to get up and wash up. She went to prepare breakfast. Then she rushed out of the room as if she was fleeing.

Running to the kitchen, Xia Zhiqiu patted her face in front of the kitchen counter. "Xia Zhiqiu, what are you doing? What are you so flustered about? Isn't this just covering your ears and stealing the bell?"

Now that she thought about it, although she hadn't said anything, it was no different from saying it.

"Stupid!" Xia Zhiqiu fiercely chopped the spoon in the pot. "But what would Yuchen think if he knew? Would he make up with me?"

She muttered to herself as she stirred the porridge. It seemed that it would not be a bad thing if she could make up with him.

"Aiya, then isn't it better to have a child? Xia Zhiqiu, what are you thinking about?!" Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqiu shook her head in annoyance.

Chenchen was in the living room when he saw Mommy walk into the kitchen, so he followed her in. After listening to her muttering to herself for a while, he lowered his head.

"Mommy." Chenchen couldn't help but call out to her.

Xia Zhiqiu was lost in her thoughts when she was suddenly called out by Chenchen. She was so scared that she dropped the spoon in her hand. "Ah!"

After picking up the spoon, Xia Zhiqiu rubbed the back of her hand that was slightly scalded and asked Chenchen what was wrong.

"That..." Chenchen asked hesitantly, "Is the person in that room... really my sister's father?"

After Chenchen finished speaking, he raised his small face and looked at Xia Zhiqiu seriously.

With such a sincere and expectant expression, Xia Zhiqiu didn't know how to answer Chenchen. She didn't want Chenchen to be disappointed, but she couldn't tell him either.

Xia Zhiqiu put the spoon aside and squatted in front of Chenchen to pat his head. "Chenchen, be good. If you want your parents, they will help you find them. Don't talk nonsense in front of Uncle."

"All right then," Chenchen said, lowering his head. "But my sister seems very unhappy."

Xia Zhiqiu sighed. Mengmeng had always wanted a father, and she knew it all too well.

"Alright, Mommy understands. Chenchen, go and coax your sister first. Mommy will make breakfast very soon."

After Chenchen left, Xia Zhiqiu's heart was in even more turmoil. If she made up with Fu Yuchen, would she be able to give Mengmeng and Chenchen a better life? Although she had tried her best to give the two babies the best life all these years, the fatherly love was still missing.

On the other side, Mengmeng saw her brother coming out of the kitchen and ran over. "How is it, brother? Did Mommy say anything?"

Chenchen shook his head. Even if he hinted that his sister was unhappy, Mommy did not have any intention of compromising.

"Are you sure that uncle is our father?" Chenchen asked seriously as he pulled Mengmeng to the sofa and sat her down cross-legged like a little adult.

Mengmeng was instantly influenced by Mengmeng's brother's attitude. Remembering that she was only guessing, she frowned. "If Mengmeng must be sure of this, Mengmeng can't do it either. But yesterday, I saw Mommy being so gentle to that uncle. Even Uncle Lu didn't have this kind of treatment!"

Although Lu Xiuming had always been by Xia Zhiqiu's side, the two of them only had a good relationship. At most, Xia Zhiqiu thought of him as a slightly better friend.
