Lu Yinan yelped out in pain, and he backed away from Zhou Shuang’s lips.

“Lu Yinan, you must be crazy!” Zhou Shuang angrily shoved Lu Yinan away before sitting up. She used the back of her hand to wipe her mouth.

Her heart palpitated wildly, and her mind was racing.

When Lu Yinan suddenly hugged her, her heart violently pounded.

“Zhou Shuang, you’re forcing me to find another woman.” Lu Yinan was incensed when Zhou Shuang pushed him away.

He felt that she was being way too proud for her own good.

Every single time, she rejected his advances.

Every single time without fail. So, he hardly initiated any intimacy with her. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since their last kiss.

Zhou Shuang sneered. “You sounded as if you didn’t look for another woman.”

It had almost been four years. Every time he went out to socialize, she wouldn’t believe that he didn’t try to find a woman to accompany him. There was no way he could tolerate being celibate all these years.

“You…” Lu Yinan was stumped for words as he pointed at Zhou Shuang. He was about to lash out at her but stopped himself at the thought of Yanyan.

He rose and left in a huff.

Zhou Shuang watched as the man stormed off. Her heart sank slowly as he vanished.

‘Lu Yinan, what is our relations.h.i.+p now?’

Zhou Shuang thought quietly to herself.

‘Are we together simply because of the triplets?’

That was their original intention. But… these four years had caused her to abandon that thought. She had surrendered her heart to this man as well.

…

Ming Ansheng didn’t answer any of her calls.

Su Yue slammed the phone against the front pa.s.senger seat.

She decided to look for Ming Ansheng personally.

She stopped Yan Weiye from following her.

Mu Li had already called to check with Ming Ansheng’s family. He wasn’t home.

Then where could he be?

Su Yue thought of trying the familiar places she knew.

The capital city was chilly at night. Su Yue didn’t park the car in the underground carpark. Instead, she stopped outside a small district.

A breeze ruffled her hair when she alighted. She shrunk her neck and hastened her footsteps. She reached the building and entered the apartment unit. She tried her luck and entered the pa.s.sword she knew.

What surprised her was that the pa.s.sword was unchanged—the door opened.

She walked with a limp towards the courtyard, as to how she had remembered. She was still wearing the hotel bedroom slippers.

She appeared to be quite sorry-looking, but at the same time, determined.

…

“I miss Mommy.”

Ming Ansheng brought Xiaojiao back home and wiped her with a towel. For fear that she couldn’t withstand the burning sensation of the alcohol in her stomach, he forced mineral water down her throat.

To his surprise, the little girl became sober.

The girl surveyed her surroundings in fear and instantly started crying.

This was the first time Ming Ansheng had met such a situation. He didn’t know how to coax a child and it fl.u.s.tered him. “Don’t cry.”

“Mommy… mommy…” Su Xiaojiao was sprawling on the couch whilst her tears leaked from the corners of her eyes.

She looked really sad.

Ming Ansheng said, “Don’t cry. Let me tell you a story.”

Actually, he felt really sleepy, and all he wanted was to collapse on his bed. He was feeling more sober at the moment, and he regretted that he had sneakily brought the girl back earlier on.

But he couldn’t send her back right now.

Su Xiaojiao stopped crying when Ming Ansheng said he would tell her a story. She said in a choked voice, “I want the little mermaid.”

Ming Ansheng could feel his head throbbing. What nonsense is this mermaid thing? What was the story about?

He had never heard this story in his life…

He should search online…
