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

Yan Niannian's mind went completely blank.

At that moment, my heart almost stopped beating.

Driven by her kind instincts, she didn't think twice and rushed towards the little boy on the ground.

She hugged him tightly, holding him close in her arms.

Stab! Stab!

The leaking gas, upon encountering a spark, reacted like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, emitting terrifying, death-stricken sounds, as if they came from hell.

The gas cylinder began to shake violently.

"do not want!"

Zhuo Yuchen was greatly alarmed.

He rushed in almost instinctively.

"Hurry up!" With his arm around Yan Niannian's shoulder, Zhuo Yuchen quickly led her away.

At this moment, Yan Niannian was still holding the little boy in her arms.

boom!

Just as the three rushed outside, a deafening explosion came from the side room.

The gas cylinder exploded.

Thick smoke billowed and houses shook.

Zhuo Yuchen protected Yan Niannian, and the three of them fell heavily to the ground.

"Ok!"

With a painful groan, Yan Niannian felt a splitting headache, a buzzing in her ears, and a sharp, piercing pain in her eardrums.

Everything went black, and she fainted.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Niannian slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a vast expanse of white.

A faint smell of disinfectant lingered around my nose.

here it is……

Her temples were still throbbing slightly, and for a moment, Yan Niannian was stunned and didn't react immediately.

Then a deep, magnetic voice sounded in his ear, "Awake?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Yan Niannian subconsciously turned her head to look.

"Zhuo Yuchen?"

When she suddenly opened her mouth, Yan Niannian's voice was terribly hoarse.

She finally recalled the incredibly dangerous scene before she lost consciousness.

The next moment, Yan Niannian struggled to get up.

"Slow down!" Seeing this, Zhuo Yuchen stepped forward and reached out to help Yan Niannian.

Unlike his previous indifference, this time his subconscious actions clearly showed concern.

only……

Neither he nor Yan Niannian noticed this.

"I'm fine?" Yan Niannian asked, puzzled.

"fine!"

"What about the other children?"

"It's all fine!" Zhuo Yuchen explained patiently, "The gas cylinder was of poor quality, resulting in insufficient gas content, which weakened the power of the explosion."

"We're all alright."

"Only the man who lit the fire died; his two companions have been arrested."

Upon hearing this, Yan Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she remembered an important question, and somewhat excitedly, she instinctively grabbed Zhuo Yuchen's wrist.

"Now that the people have been caught, have the police obtained any useful information from them to dismantle this human trafficking organization and rescue more poor children?"

Zhuo Yuchen was stunned.

He narrowed his eyes meaningfully, his complicated gaze falling on Yan Niannian's small hand gripping his wrist, and his heart stirred slightly.

That little hand was soft and warm.

It seeped through our skin, bit by bit.

until……

It soothed his heart.

It was a very subtle and comfortable feeling.

"Zhuo Yuchen, say something!" Yan Niannian was unaware of Zhuo Yuchen's complicated state of mind. Seeing that he didn't speak, she hurriedly urged him.

Zhuo Yuchen snapped out of his daze.

This time, I'm afraid I'll disappoint her.

“No!” Zhuo Yuchen shook his head. “These two people are at the very bottom of the entire group. They’re not even close to the core, let alone the core.”

“Each link is independent. By the time the police arrive at the scene based on the clues they provide, the liaison officer has already run away.”

"And they also destroyed all traces of it."

"How could this be?"

Yan Niannian's complexion was not good.

The pitiful sight of those children locked up was etched in her mind, haunting her and causing her great distress.

The thought of there being many more victims made her feel terrible.

"Don't worry too much," Zhuo Yuchen comforted her. "The police are still investigating, as is the Zhuo Group, which has a lot of export trade dealings."

"I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

"Ok!"

Yan Niannian gave a perfunctory reply with a single word.

in the corridor.

Xu Fei, holding Zhuo Xuan's hand, stood at the door of the ward.

They heard everything Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen were saying.

Zhuo Xuan clenched his other hand into a fist, his eyes reddened, and his heart felt heavy.

He could never forget Yan Niannian's attitude towards him in the dilapidated house; it was far less kind than how she treated a little beggar.

he is very angry.

Really angry.

It was Aunt Feifei who persuaded him to come and see. Maybe Yan Niannian will regret her actions, feel guilty, and cry her eyes out to apologize to him.

Only then did he agree to come to the hospital with her.

But who knows...

After Yan Niannian woke up, all her thoughts were on those unimportant children, and she didn't mention him at all!

hateful!

How could Mom do this?

Shaking off Xu Fei's hand, Zhuo Xuan turned around and ran out crying.

Seeing this, Xu Fei was overjoyed.

Great, I've achieved my goal.

"Xuanxuan, don't be like this, wait for Auntie!" A look of concern instantly appeared on that hypocritical face as Xu Fei pretended to chase after her.

At the top of the stairs, Xu Fei caught up with Zhuo Xuan.

"Okay, Xuanxuan, don't be angry anymore, let's not be angry anymore!" Xu Fei gently hugged Zhuo Xuan. "Seeing you like this, Auntie is really sad."

"Aunt Feifei..."

Zhuo Xuan sniffed hard, his voice choked with emotion.

At this moment, in Xu Fei's arms, he finally felt a touch of warmth.

While he felt relieved, the thought of Yan Niannian made him uneasy again.

Looking up at Xu Fei's face, Zhuo Xuan gritted his teeth in confusion, "Aunt Fei Fei, you're still the one who's best to me!"

"Why can't Mom be as understanding, sensible, and gentle as you? She's really going too far."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fei's eyes lit up.

She knelt down, put her hand on Zhuo Xuan's shoulder, and looked at him tenderly.

"Then Aunt Xuanxuan is asking you, is Aunt Feifei nicer, or is your mother nicer?"

"Of course it's Aunt Feifei!" Zhuo Xuan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing him like this, Xu Fei felt even more confident.

She laughed, "Xuanxuan, your father and mother are divorced now. Silly child, do you know how pitiful it is for a child without a mother?"

Zhuo Xuan bit his lip hard.

"How about Aunt Feifei be your mom?" A fiery glint flashed in Xu Fei's eyes. "Here's what we'll do: go tell Dad right now that you want Aunt Feifei to be your new mom."

“If your father doesn’t agree, then make a scene until he agrees.”

"Because only when your aunt truly becomes your mother in name can she better care for you."

"Xuanxuan, don't you think so?"
