Zhou Minghe's words were filled with resentment, and I didn't know what to say. I just urged him to tidy himself up quickly.

Zhou Minghe went to the bathroom lazily, not looking anxious at all.

I also quickly entered the bathroom of the master bedroom. I heard Zhou Minghe taking a shower, but I held my cell phone and quickly opened the door to go out.

At the elevator entrance, I met Su Beicheng who was going upstairs.

He saw me standing in the corridor and his eyes were slightly stunned.

"Why are you here?" I asked him guiltily, then said, "My house isn't clean yet, so it's inconvenient for me to invite you in. What can I do for you?"

Su Beicheng looked at me, then at the closed door. Finally, he said in a slightly cold tone, "Is Zhou Minghe in there?"

My heart skipped a beat. Since Su Beicheng had guessed it, why did he still go upstairs?

"Yes, I'll bring him to my house." I nodded, not wanting to hide it from him.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Su Beicheng's eyes. He walked closer to me, and then he said self-deprecatingly, "I've been taking a detour on my way to and from get off work recently, specifically to stop by your house and see the lights upstairs."

When I heard this, my heart trembled slightly and I couldn't believe it.

Su Beicheng's deep voice continued, "For more than a year, there has been no light in your house. Just now, I thought I was seeing things."

"Now that I'm back in Shanghai, I'll definitely go back to my home." I pursed my lips and continued, "I was planning to rent this place out before, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it."

Su Beicheng's eyes were dim as he moved closer. I don't know if it was because there was still some lemon scent on me that made his face suddenly darken.

Just then, the door behind us opened and Zhou Minghe, wearing a white bathrobe, stood by the door with his arms folded across his chest, looking at us.

He didn't say anything, just watched.

I felt a little stressed, and I glanced at Su Beicheng quickly with a guilty conscience and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

Su Beicheng looked at Zhou Minghe with a serious look. Finally, he nodded at me, said nothing more, turned and walked into the elevator.

Before the elevator door could close, Su Beicheng's eyes fell on my face, as if asking, did I reject him last time?

My heart was in a mess. I turned around and went back to the living room. Zhou Minghe put down his arms around his chest, walked over and sat on the sofa.

"Su Beicheng knew I was here, but he still wanted to go upstairs. What did he want to do?" Zhou Minghe asked with some dissatisfaction.

I shook my head. “I don’t know. Maybe he thought I was alone here.”

"Oh, so you want to take advantage of someone's misfortune?" Zhou Minghe said sarcastically.

I looked at Zhou Minghe's angry expression and knew that he would not allow me to have an affair with other men while dating him.

"Don't worry, I know my limits," I said to him.

"What if he wants to force you?" Zhou Minghe's voice gradually turned cold.

I was upset, thinking about what happened in the car that day.

Zhou Minghe didn't like my silence, so he sat next to me, pinched my chin with his hand, and looked me in the eyes: "You haven't answered me yet."

I slapped his fingers away and said calmly, "He won't do that. He's not that kind of person."

Zhou Minghe seemed to have been slapped in the face, his handsome face stiffened slightly. The next second, he laughed at himself: "You want to say that I am that kind of person, right?"

Since he brought up this topic, I would like to talk to him about it.

"You are." I leaned on the armrest of the sofa with my face propped up. "Do you remember how we got entangled?"

Zhou Minghe's handsome face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

I continued to joke, "Since you are such a person, you can't assume that others are also like this."

"Jingjing." Zhou Minghe couldn't argue, so he just fell on my legs, his voice full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I was such a jerk before."

I looked at him admitting his mistake obediently. Zhou Minghe has a very straightforward temper and a good attitude in admitting his mistakes.

"Okay, someone once taught me that the world isn't just black and white, there's also gray." I reached out, my fingers lightly touching his short black hair and gently stroking the back of his neck. "I didn't believe it before, but now I feel that the gray area is where human nature is most real, and everyone will fall into it."

Zhou Minghe's body tensed up at the tenderness my fingers brought him. He slowly raised his head and locked eyes with mine. "So? What do you want to say?"

Looking at his face from this angle, it's truly stunning, with no blind spots. My fingers can't help but fall on his sexy, graceful chin. "What I'm trying to say is, everyone makes mistakes, but there's no need to dwell on every single one."

Zhou Minghe's narrow and dark eyes blinked slightly.

"I don't want to talk about life with you anymore. I have to go back." I glanced at the time and urged him to change his clothes quickly.

It was very late when he took me home.

The children are already five months old. I will take them to get vaccinations tomorrow. Ji Mu said that he has a morning off and can go with me.

I agreed. I found that apart from work, Ji Mu's personal life was very regular. Such a man is rare. If I fall in love with him and become his husband, my life will definitely be quite harmonious. After all, in addition to work, he also likes cooking and is good at both housework and homemaking.

At the prevention station, the two little guys were still smiling happily, looking around with their big eyes, and when they saw some colorful things, they would stretch out their little hands to grab them.

Ji Mu suddenly received a call and came back to me, "Mayor Su said he's nearby. After the child gets his vaccination, he wants to have dinner with me. Is that okay?"

I was stunned. Su Beicheng must be missing the child so much that he was crazy.

"Okay, tell him." I nodded.

After the injection, the two little ones cried so loudly that they couldn't be comforted.

After staying here to observe for half an hour, we went to the restaurant together.

Ji Mu drove me and my child to the place arranged by Su Beicheng. The confinement nanny did not come with us, so they went home first.

In the car, I was holding two children by myself. The little ones curled up in my arms, and seemed to be thinking about the injection just now. One of them cried, and the other two followed suit.

I looked at them crying so aggrievedly and laughed unkindly.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the two little guys were still pouting, very angry, and tears were in their eyes. It was so pitiful.

After entering the box, Su Beicheng saw that my daughter in my arms had red eyes from crying, and her two little hands were tightly grasping my clothes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"What's wrong?" Su Beicheng felt distressed and started to coax the child in the box while holding him.

Ji Mu was outside the door. He coaxed my son to sleep before bringing him in. He greeted Su Beicheng first and then asked me to place my order.

I didn't hesitate and ordered a table full of delicious dishes. Su Beicheng coaxed his daughter to sleep. The little girl grabbed his shirt with her two little hands. She looked adorable in the clothes she wore like a little bun.

Su Beicheng stared at his daughter in his arms in astonishment and wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

For some reason, looking at the way he looked at my daughter, I felt that I might have fallen out of favor.
