Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 834: Deeply Rooted Love (279)

"I don’t want to, but my mom will be with him. He just needs to wait a bit longer. My dad once secretly told us that mom didn’t really die; she just fell asleep and that one day she would wake up. Although I don’t know when that will be, I believe that day will come."

"What if the stepmother your dad finds for you treats you really, really well? Wouldn’t you want that either?"

"No, I wouldn’t."

"Good child, maybe your dad is just joking with you."

"Dad isn’t joking," stars said with certainty, "I can tell."

"Good boy, don’t cry. Such a handsome little face, crying makes it less handsome. Go wash your face and come down for dinner."

"Okay." He put down his school bag and went to the bathroom.

...

"Zhuozheng and I will stay here with you for a while."

Long Yubei gave him a glance up and down, "Is this the result you and Yuesheng discussed?"

"She had her parents move into the small villa, and I don’t know what happened. I don’t want the kids to interact with her parents. Even though she said they’d stay in the small villa, it’s not like they could be watched like prisoners. Maybe Ningyi left a psychological shadow on me, I don’t want the kids getting close to unfamiliar people, let alone her parents, who I really can’t stand."

"Does she want to live here with you?"

"She doesn’t need to."

"It’s not a big deal. If you ask me, I’d forcibly find a quiet place to lock her parents up for a while so they won’t bother you. Her parents are the type that need to be dealt with strictly. It would all be fine after that. You two act like it’s a huge world problem."

"It’s easy for me, but it would trouble her. I’m letting her handle it the way she thinks best."

"This won’t be sustainable, actually; it will affect your relationship," Long Yubei advised against it. "Third brother, think it over."

"I don’t want to compromise on this. If her dad were a decent person, I’d be willing to buy him a house, but clearly, he isn’t. He’s like a bottomless pit that no amount of money can fill. Why should I bother?"

Long Yubei signaled with his eyes behind him, and saw Nan Yuesheng entering with a sullen expression.

"Zhuozheng, come here."

As she called out, Xu Zhuozheng obediently went over.

Watching her lead her child away, Xu Mohan called out, "Sheng’er..."

Nan Yuesheng led Xu Zhuozheng away without looking back.

Ultimately, Xu Mohan went out and followed them.

He didn’t stop Nan Yuesheng, silently compromising instead.

...

Jun Li led stars downstairs and caught sight of Hong Ying standing in the living room.

"Auntie Hong Ying!" stars waved at her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Come, Auntie will give you a hug."

stars ran over, and Hong Ying picked him up, looking at Jun Li with a fierce gaze.

Compared to her undisguised expression, Jun Li remained calm, leaving one unable to tell what she was thinking.

"I’m going home for dinner."

Long Yubei looked at her softly, "No need to go back. You won’t have much appetite eating alone. The twins like you so much, they’ll be very happy if you eat with them."

Jun Li lowered her eyes and smiled, "Alright."

"I haven’t had dinner yet either, I wonder if I can join too?" Hong Ying asked in passing.

Long Yubei’s expression didn’t change, "It’s just a matter of adding another set of utensils, so why not join us."

As they walked to the side hall, Long Yubei pulled out the chair next to the main seat, motioning for Jun Li to sit.
