"Have you forgotten that Zhenzhen was injured because of me?!"

Hearing this, Yu Wei smiled sarcastically and said, "Yeah, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about your fiancée."

Seeing Yu Wei's reaction, Mark was very troubled. He complained bitterly, "Please don't mention that woman anymore. Kai was too harsh. He threw Juliet directly into prison. No one's pleading was effective. My old man was furious."

"Why are you angry? Is it because Zhang Kaifeng arrested Juliet, or because you failed to protect your fiancée?!"

"Of course it's the latter. He thinks I've brought shame to the family." Mark sighed heavily and said, "Well, what does this have to do with me? I didn't pick that person, nor did I send him to prison. I'm innocent, okay?"

"Are you innocent?" Yu Wei snorted coldly and said, "If you hadn't given Juliet the Ecstasy drug, would she have done those crazy things for you? Also, if you really want nothing to do with her, you should be ruthless and don't let her have any thoughts about you."

Mark's eyes widened and he said, "Am I not ruthless enough? I kicked her out of the apartment. That's the most ungentlemanly thing I've ever done!"

"Then how can she continue to stay in Italy?"

"I want to know too. She clearly said she was broke and wanted to tutor to make money. How come she suddenly has money to spend?"

Seeing Mark's puzzled look, Yu Wei was speechless and said, "You are so stupid, so stupid that I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Hey, you can't insult my intelligence like this, you..."

"How long are you two going to stand out here?"

Mark was so focused on what he was saying that he didn't even notice that Zhang Kaifeng had noticed him and was giving him a cold look.

With the corners of his mouth twitching stiffly, Mark stretched out his hand and waved, saying, "Hi, Kai, long time no see."

Zhang Kaifeng's eyes were deep, and he said pointedly, "It's been a long time indeed. Ever since Juliet was captured, you disappeared. To be more precise, you disappeared from my sight."

Mark smiled awkwardly, holding the back of his head and said, "Oh, I'm just afraid that you'll see me in a bad mood. Look how self-conscious I am, haha, haha!"

He couldn't hold back a series of dry laughs under Zhang Kaifeng's stern gaze.

Finally, Mark couldn't stand Zhang Kaifeng's cold gaze any longer and took the initiative to say, "Okay, I know it was because of me that Zhenzhen got hurt. Just tell me how you want to punish me. Don't look at me like that. It's scary."

"Punish you? Humph, can you accept the price of this punishment?!"

Mark showed a flattering smile, stood beside Lin Yuqing, and said: "Yuqing, you are the most understanding. Please help me talk to Kai and ask him to stop being angry with me, okay?"

It was the first time that Lin Yuqing saw a grown man acting like a spoiled child, and she couldn't help but feel a chill.

Rubbing her arms, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "Since Mark is so sincere, just forgive him. There's nothing to worry about now anyway."

Seeing Lin Yuqing smile, how could Zhang Kaifeng still care about Mark? He was completely immersed in the beauty, unable to see other people or hear other things.

Humph, this guy who forgets his principles for the sake of beauty is so inhumane!

Mark curled his lips, turned around and was about to pull Yu Wei out.

Yu Wei slapped Mark's hand away in disgust and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Go out, or you'll be a light bulb again."

"I……"

"Oh, let's go!"

Mark dragged Yu Wei away without saying a word, leaving Zhang Kaifeng and Lin Yuqing, oh, and the sleeping Zhenzhen.

Although there were other children in the ward, Lin Yuqing couldn't ignore Zhang Kaifeng's fiery gaze. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she said, "Well, Zhenzhen is asleep, you should go back too."

"It's okay. I'll wait for Zhenzhen to wake up and tell her a story. I didn't finish the story yesterday, and she asked me to make up for it today."

What a lame excuse...

Lin Yuqing was speechless. She glanced at Zhang Kaifeng and thought that this man was quite a headache when he became stubborn.

Forget it, since he wants to stay, let him do as he pleases. Nothing will change because of his presence anyway.

Thinking this way, Lin Yuqing relaxed a lot. She just glanced around and suddenly exclaimed.

"Where's Xuan'er?"

Zhang Kaifeng stood up and said, "Maybe he's playing outside. Don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."

Having said that, Zhang Kaifeng left the ward.

In fact, before entering the ward, Zhang Kaifeng found Xuan'er standing alone in the grove, leaning against a tree trunk in a daze.

Although Xuan'er was a small child, Zhang Kaifeng believed that he also needed independent space to think, so he did not disturb him. Now that Yuqing was worried about Xuan'er, it was necessary to call the boy back and not let his mother worry.

Xuan'er was holding a blade of grass towards the sun, observing the veins on it, when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing Zhang Kaifeng's voice, Xuan'er turned around and said straight to the point: "Uncle Kaifeng, when do we start planning?"

Zhang Kaifeng didn't expect Xuan'er to be thinking about this. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Something happened between your mommy and your sister. I think this plan will have to be postponed for the time being."

Xuan'er nodded and said, "Indeed, a lot has happened recently. Although I really want Dad to come back soon, Mommy and my sister have had accidents one after another, and I really can't leave."

Seeing the little man shouldering so many responsibilities, Zhang Kaifeng patted his frail shoulders and said, "Perhaps this is God's will. This plan has been interrupted time and again. Perhaps we should cancel it."

"No, we can't cancel it!" Xuan'er looked at Zhang Kaifeng very seriously and said, "The reason why Mommy and sister are in danger is because Daddy is not around. If Daddy is here, he will never let anyone hurt Mommy and Zhenzhen. So, I must find Daddy and protect our family!"

Xuan'er's determined gaze struck Zhang Kaifeng as familiar. He lowered his head in thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Sometimes, even adults have their own frustrations. While the current situation isn't perfect, perhaps we can maintain a balance in many aspects."

Zhang Kaifeng's words were too profound for Xuan'er to comprehend. However, Xuan'er could tell that Zhang Kaifeng was trying to persuade her to give up her plan, so she raised her head, looked at him seriously, and said, "I don't want to make Mommy sad anymore. I'm the only man in the family, and I should do something. I've waited so long, and Daddy still hasn't come back. I don't want to wait any longer!"

Seeing Xuan'er's serious look, Zhang Kaifeng couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of his head.
