Ling Feng initially wanted the children to take his surname and proposed it to Lan Lan. However, she hesitated due to an indescribable desire in her heart and ultimately did not agree. Ling Feng chose to focus on being a good father instead, caring for her and their two daughters.
As she watches Lan Zhen grow up, increasingly resembling Long Junhao and mimicking his mannerisms, Lan Lan feels a subtle pain. Her son constantly reminds her of shared moments with Long Junhao, transforming memories she thought were forgotten back into vivid recollections.
Leaning against the corridor pillar, Lan Lan smiles happily as she watches the two little treasures play and laugh in the yard.
She was content with her life—stable, with Ling Feng taking care of her, her shop doing well, and two adorable children. She didn’t want to consider other possibilities, just enjoying this small piece of the world.
Ling Feng often went out for a few days or more, but this time he had been gone for a month. Could something have happened? Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Mom, why hasn’t godfather come back?” Xin’er asked, tilting her head. She loved her godfather, who was kind and always brought them gifts.
“Mom, my sister and I really miss godfather. Can you tell him to come back soon?” Zhen’er added, looking at her with longing eyes.
“Don’t worry, godfather will be back in a few days. Be good, or he’ll be unhappy,” Lan Lan reassured them, stroking their heads.
“Let’s go to the market, okay?”
“Yay!!!” the two little ones cheered, raising V-signs in triumph.
Lan Lan laughed at her adorable children.
Having been with her, they learned many modern gestures and words that looked particularly funny and cute when performed by the children, often causing uncontrollable laughter.
“Zhen’er, go call Aunt Yue Xiang to go with us!”
With Yue Xiang joining, Lan Lan dressed in light gauze to avoid attracting attention. She had always tried to maintain a low profile when going out, which is why Long Junhao and others had been unable to find her for so long.
Holding each child’s hand, they left the gate. The children were excitedly calling out, constantly asking Lan Lan to buy things until they could carry no more and returned home.
