    Wen Jingcheng looked at the two people locking eyes, feeling a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet.

    He knew that Yan Muqi's feelings for Mu Chu were derived from their childhood friendship, as well as an unforgettable first love. Moreover, Yan Muqi had always believed that it was he who persistently pursued and pestered her to marry him. He was afraid that he had been the one to break them up.

    They had embraced each other when they slept last night, and he was already the father of their child. However, as Wen Jingcheng looked at the two of them, he couldn't help but feel that he was the one who was superfluous.

    Previously... I also bought cotton candy for myself because Mu Chu loves to eat it, so I bought it based on memory, I suppose.

    Wen Jingcheng took a deep breath, feeling a slight pain in his lower abdomen. He reached out and randomly rubbed it. "You two should have a good chat. I'm a little tired from playing all day, so I'll go home first... Please come back early."

    Wen Jingcheng wasn't sure if Yan Muqi would come back home...probably...he won't, after all...he'll be staying with Mu Chu.

    After finishing speaking, without caring about Yan Muqi's reaction, Wen Jingcheng turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would cry in front of him. Even though so many years had passed and he had gotten used to it, why did he still feel so much pain in his heart?

    I never even thought that Yan Muqi would actually like me so much. Why do I hope that he can show some concern for me? Even if it's just asking him to have a meal together with them, or having him personally send me back home, Wen Jingcheng would feel a little comforted.

    Watching him walk out of the entertainment venue like this, Yan Muqi remained silent. Or rather, he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. He wanted to call back Wen Jingcheng, to ask him to eat before going back or to send him back himself. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to say it. Just like that, he watched Wen Jingcheng disappear before his eyes, feeling a sense of emptiness and a bit of panic in his heart.

    Mu Chu just stood in front of him, without any movement. He didn't even say a word from the moment he saw him until Wen Jingcheng left. He just smiled and looked at him, as if trying to make up for three years of longing.

    In the end, Yan Muqi let go of the thoughts that made him somewhat at a loss. He tightly embraced the person in front of him, burying his head in Mu Chu's neck, greedily absorbing his breath.

    This is his Muchu, still with that familiar scent, but he has become so much thinner. Yan Muqi hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to force him into his body, and the two of them embraced each other without saying a word.

    Wen Jingcheng didn't know how he had walked into his home. He just felt a chilling sensation throughout his body, as if his heart were immersed in ice water.

    A person sat on the sofa, sinking into its softness.

    Wen Jingcheng was a bit confused. Just yesterday, the two of them were sitting on the sofa, being affectionate with each other. Just yesterday, Yan Muqi was gently caressing his hair and asking him where he wanted to go to have fun. Wen Jingcheng started to dislike himself. If he didn't go to the amusement park, would he not have bumped into Mu Chu? Would Yan Muqi still be able to accompany him for dinner? And come back together with him, lean against him gently to fasten his seatbelt, and sleep together in his embrace.

    Really... why do I have to go to the amusement park...

    There was a slight movement in his lower abdomen, and it took a while for Wen Jingcheng to realize that it was the baby's first fetal movement. Since entering the fifth month of pregnancy, Wen Jingcheng had been looking forward to the baby greeting him. However, the current situation left him feeling a bit bewildered and aching in his chest.

    When Yan Muqi is not working, he would occasionally place his hand on his abdomen. There is already a noticeable bulge in that area, causing his clothes to take on a rounded shape. It is the baby declaring its existence.

    The doctor said that after five months, she would start feeling fetal movements. Yan Muqi would press his body against her belly, wanting to feel the baby's movements. But now that the baby had started moving, Wen Jingcheng didn't know whether to tell Yan Muqi or not.

    Wen Jingcheng simply couldn't understand whether Yan Muqi's expectations for the children were due to a sense of kinship or if he genuinely had a slight anticipation for their future.

    Wen Jingcheng's hand was hesitantly caressing his abdomen. He could clearly feel that Yan Muqi had started to get used to his presence and accept his identity. But why did Mu Chu have to appear at this very moment?

    Just like in all novels, her appearance was perfectly timed and disrupted his relationship with Yan Muqi. Wen Jingcheng could feel that Mu Chu's arrival would turn his life into a mess and leave him at a loss.
