Lin Zihan, who had been tired all day, could no longer bear it. When she returned to the backyard, she did not even want to eat. She slid under a magnolia tree and sat down.

Her whole body felt sore and weak, making her feel as if she had expended a lot of effort even to move. Unknowingly, she fell asleep while leaning against a tree.

In front of the French windows on the second floor, Xiao Zhenfan watched his every move with an aching heart. He was wrong, thinking that punishing her like this would make him feel better, but it turned out to be the opposite, and that would only make him feel worse.

No matter what she did, he wouldn't be unable to do anything to her!

He lifted his leg and walked down the stairs to the backyard. He leaned over and studied the neon lights in the garden as he looked at her tiny face between her eyebrows. Why was that face sad? Tired? Or sad?

Sad? Wasn't this the life she wanted? Leave him and go to Du Yunfei's arms!

Xiao Shuren stretched out his arms and gently carried her towards the main house. Ignoring Mrs. Xiao's distracted gaze, he walked into the living room, returned to the bedroom and laid her flat on the bed.

She was truly tired. No matter how hard the others tried, they would not be able to respond.

In the morning, Lin Zihan was awoken by a blinding ray of sunlight. She slowly opened her eyes as the blinding golden light forced her to use her palms to block out some of the discomfort.

The luxurious big bedroom was something she was familiar with. It was a strong body that stood with its back against the window. It was something she was familiar with. But why did she wake up in his room?

Lin Zihan sat up abruptly and looked at her watch. She had overslept! The first thought that came to her mind was how Madam Xiao would deal with her.

"Why am I here?" She asked in a daze as her gaze fell on Xiao Zhanfan. The morning sunlight gently penetrated through the window and sprinkled all over Xiao Shuren's body. It was as if he had just experienced a layer of faint light!

"What do you think?" Xiao Shuren raised his eyebrows at her, looking neither cold nor hot.

"I …" Yes, why had she come to his room? She had clearly gone back to the backyard after work last night. She lowered her head to look at herself. The snow-white nightgown was still neatly worn on her body. Although she didn't know who helped her put it on, she was certain that she didn't wear it herself.

Her work clothes were draped casually over a nearby chair.

The figure moved in the halo, moving gracefully toward her.

"You …" Lin Zihan's words were cut off by him.

Lin Zihan's face turned hot. She was so upset that she was on the verge of death. Why was she always trying so hard to climb up?! If Yi Yuxin found out, she would take care of her!

Xiao Shuren kissed her deeply. In fact, he succeeded in being a gentleman last night. Seeing as she was so tired, she just helped her clean up, that was all.

The bony fingers touched her crotch, and then lifted it with a little force. When Lin Zihan was almost unable to bear Lin Zihan's gaze, she lightly said, "I'll put on some makeup. Come out with me."

Lin Zihan was stunned, she looked at him with suspicion and asked, "Why?"

"There's no other reason, go!" He let go of her and ordered coldly.

Lin Zihan pouted and stared at him in dissatisfaction. Even if he was the master, she shouldn't have ordered others to do this, right? There must be a reason for me to go out with him.

Xiao Zhifan ignored her and took out a set of casual clothes from the closet. After changing into it, he started to put on his makeup. The latter just stared at him dumbly until he was done packing and walking towards the door, only then did she realize that it was time for her to get out of bed.

Xiao Shuren put his hand on the doorknob and turned to look at Ye Ci, "I'll be waiting for you downstairs. You have to come down within ten minutes."

"Oh …" "En," Lin Zihan responded. After the door was closed, she quickly jumped off the bed. Fortunately, her clothes were still left in the room. She randomly picked one to put on, washed herself and rushed downstairs.

Xiao Shuren's car was already waiting in front of the main house. Little Shuxue stuck out her head and unhappily shouted, "Mommy, you're so slow!"

Lin Zihan cast a glance at the handsome Xiao Fanfan before gesturing to Little Shuxue to be quiet. Then, he opened the car door and was about to get in. A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, causing her to flinch. She raised her head and looked at the balcony on the second floor. The furious Yi Yuxin was staring at her.

'It's over! ' She screamed in her heart. It seemed like Yi Yuxin was furious! No, she couldn't go out with Xiao Shuren!

Leaning over, he said to Xiao Shuren with a face full of smiles: "Where are you going? Can I not go? "

"No! I want Mommy to go! "I need Mommy …" Little Shuxue once again threw out her trump card and began to act like she was crying and making a ruckus.

"Alright, alright, I'll go!" Lin Zihan couldn't stand it any longer as she walked around the car and got on the other side.

Oh god! How did things get so messy? How could she explain her actions today to such a sensitive person like Yi Yuxin?

He stealthily glanced at Xiao Fan and asked, "Where are you bringing us?" In fact, just by looking at the little Shuxue who had been adorned by an overseas player, she could guess what was going on.

"Mommy, Daddy is taking me swimming today." Little Shuxue said quickly, happily doing a swimming motion. Today, when Xiao Shuren asked her where she wanted to go to play, she was extremely happy. Even though the Xiao Residence was very big, she would get tired of staying here for a long time. Thus, she chose to swim without thinking.

"Swimming?" Lin Zihan pretended to be unhappy, "Don't we have a large swimming pool at home? Why would we go out for a swim?" Although she really wanted to go herself, it was too risky for her to just run out like that.

Who knew if they would meet any acquaintances when they were caught by Yi Yuxin!

"That's not the same. Daddy said we could go to the beach and swim with the sand fish." Little Shuxue loudly retorted.

"Are you the one who said such childish words?" Lin Zihan looked at Xiao Shuren, and asked while holding back his laughter.

Xiao Zhifan glared at her unhappily before turning around to continue ignoring her. Lin Zihan lowered her gaze and stared at him again, "Isn't it a bit too risky for us to go out like this?"

"Why take the risk?" Xiao Shuren glanced at her.

Lin Zihan sized him up and carefully probed: "Are you not afraid that others will find out that you are Leng Feng?"

Xiao Zhanfan shook his head and revealed a cruel smile. He smiled charmingly, "Those who know are all dead. Those who know will also die in the future."

His gaze was somewhat playful, lingering on her face, his meaning very clear. If she dared to tell Du Yunfei, then the next person to die would be Du Yunfei.

His words gave Lin Zihan goosebumps. She subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air and said with a trembling voice, "But I also know why …"

"Because I'm unwilling to kill you." He believed her because he was willing to believe her. This was an extremely abnormal action. What was placed in her hands was definitely his life.

Lin Zihan was so touched that she turned his face away. She raised his face and leaned back in her chair, trying her best to prevent the tears from rolling down his face. She betrayed him! How could he trust her so easily?

Then did he believe in the childhood sweetheart? Was it like what Yi Yuxin said? Even if he found out the truth about her, he wouldn't be willing to kill her?

If he didn't kill her, Xiao Shuren would be in danger at any moment. If he killed her, he would most likely face the consequences of the law. Everyone knew that Leng Feng was a heinous crime, and she couldn't let him kill anyone else as he please —!

The car stopped at a private place in the sea. Little Shuxue jumped out of the car and rushed into the water. Lin Zihan caught up to her and took off the hat she was wearing, "Be careful."

"Got it." Little Shuxue's voice sank into the sea breeze.

"Why does it feel like she's a criminal who's just been released from prison?" Lin Zihan said with a chuckle. With a smile at the corner of her eyes, Xiao Zhifan held her and walked her to the locker room.

Other than a few staff members, there was no one else on the huge sofa. There must be something on his mind. Lin Zihan was not happy at all.

He could only foolishly stare at Little Shuxue's brilliant smile, sighing in his heart. If only he could live as freely and as as she did, how great would that be? Unfortunately, he would never be able to live this kind of life.

Xiao Shuren was teaching Little Shuxue how to swim and his smile was not as bright as it used to be. With a hint of bitterness, Lin Zihan knew that all of this had been brought to him by her.

Ah — wow!" Little Shuxue screamed, and her small body sank into the water. Luckily, Xiao Shuren was smart enough to pull her out of the water like a chicken.

The sinking really made Little Shuxue choke miserably. Her small body hung on Xiao Fanfan's body as she began to cough heavily. Water droplets that were like golden beans rolled off her head and dripped into the sea.

Seeing her comical appearance, Lin Zihan finally burst out laughing. Her mood, which had been shrouded in haze for several days, instantly became clear.

"Mommy makes fun of me!" Little Shuxue swung her legs in displeasure as she looked up at Xiao Fanfan, who was smiling, and said unhappily.

Lin Zihan laughed, "Well, we had a sweating duck."

"I am not a sweating duck!" No! "Mommy Scoundrel!" Xiao Shuxue shouted as she slid down from Xiao Fan's arms and splashed water on Lin Zihan's body.

Realizing that there was no practical reason for the water to splash onto Lin Zihan's body, she switched to sand.

"Dwarf gourd, I can't catch it!" Lin Zihan giggled and ran far away to hide.

"I'm not a Dwarf!" Little Shuxue was unable to catch up, and began to shamelessly sit on the sofa, kicking her legs in disobedience. Wu …, being short was not her fault, not knowing the words was also not her fault …

Lin Zihan refused to accept her joke and continued to tease her, "Who says you are not, go ask daddy."

"Daddy said Mommy was the most stupid idiot in the world!" Little Shuxue retorted, not showing any weakness. Lin Zihan's small face fell, and she pretended to be angry, "What did you say?"

Little Shuxue had a smile on her face, repeating every word with a smile, "Mommy is a fool!"

"Little girl!" I can't cure you? " Lin Zihan angrily rushed over, and before Little Shuxue could get up to escape, she picked her up and walked into the sea, threatening her: "I'll directly drink you full before you come up!"

"No!" Mommy doesn't want it! " Little Shuxue moved her four limbs and struggled, loudly shouting, "Daddy, save me! "Father!"

"No one can save you!"

"No! I don't dare anymore! That's what Daddy said! "

"…"

As Xiao Zhifan looked at the happy mother and daughter pair, his mood also improved. Lin Zihan's current expression was as innocent and pure as ever. Just like before, but since when did she start to change? Why didn't he feel it at all?

If he hadn't caught her together with Du Yunfei time and time again, how long had she been hiding this from him? How long could she stay with him?

Transparent droplets of water rolled on her delicate face. She had already known him for so long, but he realized that he had never seen enough. He would still be attracted to everything she did.

The waves lapped at his firm chest, washing it over and over, but it couldn't take away his bone-piercing heartache.

He moved his arms and swam towards the mother and daughter pair. He lifted Little Shuxue from her arms and handed her to the staff member at the side. Then, he wrapped his arms around Lin Qinghan's slender waist.

Lin Zihan shuddered, the smile on her face frozen in place as she felt the warmth of the strong and sturdy body behind him.

"Dad, are you ignoring me again? "Why is it always like this …" Little Shuxue discussed in dissatisfaction.
