After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Snapped!

Just then, the belt buckle finally came undone.

Relieved, Yan Niannian quickly stood up straight.

To her surprise, as soon as she looked up, she saw Zhuo Yuchen's hand frozen in mid-air, not yet having a chance to retract.

"Hmm?" Sensing something, Yan Niannian frowned warily and asked in a questioning tone, "Zhuo Yuchen, what are you going to do?"

"..."

Zhuo Yuchen was dumbfounded.

As his lips twitched, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face as he said, "N-nothing... um... Niannian, I'm going to the bathroom now."

After hurriedly saying those words, Zhuo Yuchen quickly turned around and went into the bathroom.

The afterimage disappeared quickly.

Yan Niannian was a little confused.

At the same time, she also sensed something different.

That was the dangerous scent that emanated from a man.

Don't stay here for long.

Anyway, she had already done what she was supposed to do.

Having made up her mind, Yan Niannian turned around without hesitation and walked straight out of the office.

……

At the workstation outside the door, the assistant was eating instant noodles.

He looked up and saw Yan Niannian walking out in a hurry, and he was stunned for a moment.

The assistant immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"Miss Yan, you left so soon? How is President Zhuo?"

"He won't die."

Recalling how Zhuo Yuchen had "made things difficult" for her in the office, Yan Niannian felt a surge of anger.

She gritted her teeth fiercely.

Then, without stopping, he left.

By the time the assistant came to her senses, the person had already disappeared into the elevator doorway.

The assistant looked completely bewildered.

Completely puzzled.

what's the situation?

What just happened in the office?

Why does Yan Niannian's expression look so strange?

"Niannian..."

Zhuo Yuchen walked out of the bathroom, intending to use the same trick again and take the opportunity to have another chance to get close to Yan Niannian.

But to everyone's surprise, when he came out, he was gone.

Zhuo Yuchen felt disappointed and couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.

It's hard to believe that the president of the prestigious Zhuo Group would have such a cunning side.

He doesn't care if he becomes humble and unrecognizable to himself just to be close to the person he loves most.

As long as his mind is willing to accept himself again.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yuchen took out his phone and called Yan Niannian.

……

Meanwhile, Yan Niannian was already sitting in a taxi on her way back to the orphanage.

The phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhuo Yuchen.

Holding her phone, Yan Niannian hesitated for a moment.

She did not answer the phone immediately.

Or rather, she simply didn't want to accept it!

But the phone kept ringing, as if possessed.

Exceptionally persistent, sharp and jarring.

The driver couldn't help but glance at Yan Niannian frequently through the rearview mirror.

What a pity!

With a sigh, Yan Niannian had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Is something wrong?"

"Niannian, the doctor said my hand needs to be outdoors more to heal faster. How about... we go hiking together tomorrow!"

"OK?"

"climb mountains?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Niannian was taken aback.

He seemed dazed for a moment.

Her thoughts drifted away, and she couldn't help but recall something.

That was the fourth year after she married Zhuo Yuchen. The long-term life of tolerance and repression had caused her to develop a very serious sub-health condition.

Liver Qi stagnation.

He is listless and lacks energy to do anything.

At the time, the doctor told her that her condition was very bad, and if it was not treated in time and allowed to develop, it could very likely develop into depression.

Let her intervene in a timely manner.

The best way to relax is to go hiking.

Pick a warm, sunny day and go enjoy nature with your family.

She was full of anticipation at the time.

Going hiking with Zhuo Yuchen and Zhuo Xuan and experiencing the beauty of nature would be such a wonderful thing.

But who knows...

When Yan Niannian finally found a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter with Zhuo Yuchen and his son, it was as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving her feeling completely chilled.

Zhuo Yuchen's expression was indifferent.

He didn't even glance at her, only sparingly uttering two words through gritted teeth.

Busy!

And what about Zhuo Xuan?

He angrily pushed over the blocks in front of him and cried and fussed in dissatisfaction.

She keeps calling me a "bad mom"!

He was angry that she was affecting him, he disliked her nagging, and he found her annoying.

Zhuo Xuan also said...

If he's sick, he should just die; then he can find a new mother.

In short, he just doesn't want to go mountain climbing.

She felt ice-cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Even as she kept reassuring herself that Zhuo Xuan was still young and innocent, and that he didn't mean to hurt her.

As for Zhuo Yuchen...

He was cold by nature and a workaholic.

She should have gotten used to it by now!

God knows how much mental preparation she underwent back then, but the suppressed pain still uncontrollably spread throughout her entire body.

During those dark and gloomy days, every step Yan Niannian took was difficult.

Even now, thinking about it still makes me feel depressed.

"Phew!" Yan Niannian let out a long sigh of relief, her cool tone unconsciously tinged with sarcasm, "Zhuo Yuchen, so, you do have moments when you want to climb mountains!"

Zhuo Yuchen's pupils dilated sharply on the other end of the phone.

He remembered.

He remembered how awful he was when Yan Niannian asked him to go hiking.

How damnable!

Guilt got out of control.

It rampaged through his body, tearing apart every single cell.

Zhuo Yuchen's face turned deathly pale. "Niannian, yes..."

"I agreed."

Yan Niannian guessed what Zhuo Yuchen wanted to say.

I am sorry.

But now she doesn't care anymore, she doesn't need it.

But she agreed anyway.

Perhaps, by some strange twist of fate, she wanted to give her helpless and humble self back then a belated explanation.

"Okay!" Zhuo Yuchen was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Niannian, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"No need, let's meet at the entrance of Shoushan at 8:30 tomorrow!"

"Oh well!"

Zhuo Yuchen was in a great mood after hanging up the phone.

Zhuo Yuchen picked up his suit jacket draped over the back of his chair and walked out of the office.

He's going back to the Zhuo family.

Get some rest, and then the next day, go hiking with Nian Nian in the best possible condition.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

……

The Zhuo family.

Zhuo Xuan was still awake.

Clutching her phone, the small figure waited anxiously in the living room.

He was waiting for Zhuo Yuchen.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.

He wanted to ask his father to take him to find his mother.

Then the family of three can spend the holiday together.

He really hoped that the family of three could be reunited, and that he could be like other children, holding his mother's hand with his left hand and his father's hand with his right.

To have all the love and affection.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of an engine suddenly came from the yard.

Zhuo Xuan was overjoyed.

Great.

It's Daddy who's back.

"father!"

Zhuo Xuan jumped off the sofa quickly and ran out barefoot without even putting on his shoes.
