However, when he learned that Yang Zi was not his biological child, he did not feel sad at all, but instead felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

It was not until the moment he recognized Jin'er that he deeply felt an irrepressible fatherly love surging into his heart like a flood breaking through a dam.

It felt as if a long-missing piece in his heart had finally found its place.

It turns out that the love between blood relatives is so deep.

However, the scene of Liu Zhi beating Jin'er today emerged in her mind again, and her mood suddenly became heavy.

Time flies, and now looking back on the past, he no longer harbors resentment towards Liu Zhi.

Especially when Liu Zhi told him the truth that day, all his knots seemed to be untied at that moment, and he chose to forgive and let go.

However, after going through all this, he found that he was no longer able to love anyone.

I have known Liu Zhi for more than twenty years, and I once thought that we had loved each other for ten years, but the reality is so cruel.

This relationship brought him so much pain that he was afraid to fall into it again and make the same mistakes again.

"Little Daddy...Little Daddy?..." Yang Jin looked at Murong Xiao who was in a daze and pulled his sleeve.

He had to speak out because Murong Xiao applied the medicine on his pants.

Murong Xiao came back to her senses, looked at Yang Jin's worried face, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

He gently stroked Yang Jin's head and said softly, "Jin'er, what's wrong?"

Yang Jin raised his head, looked into Murong Xiao's eyes, and said in an affirmative tone: "Little Dad, you are sad."

Murong Xiao was slightly startled, shook her head, and tried to put the heaviness in her heart behind her.

He pulled Yang Jin's clothes and put away the medicine, and said softly: "No, Daddy is just a little tired. Jin'er, you should also rest early..."

After saying that, he helped Yang Jin lie down, and with a flick of his right hand, the lights in the room went out instantly.

Yang Jin felt the faint breathing sound coming from Murong Xiao who was sleeping beside him, and a faint sadness welled up in his heart.

He knew that although his father Murong Xiao looked strong on the surface, he must be restless deep down inside.

He was actually quite curious about the relationship between his father and the man today, but since his father didn't mention it, he didn't dare to say anything for fear of embarrassing him.

Thinking of this, Yang Jin turned over, faced Murong Xiao, and gently held his hand.

He hopes to convey some warmth and strength to him in this way, and let him know that no matter what happens, he will always be by his side.

"Little Dad," Yang Jin said softly, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side. No matter what happens, I am willing to share it with you."

Murong Xiao felt Yang Jin's warmth, and his heart softened. He held Yang Jin's hand, tears in his eyes, and patted the back of his hand gently.

"Thank you, Jin'er." He said softly.

But no one noticed that a figure in the shadows outside the house was looking at the people inside the house greedily.

At dawn the next day, before the sun had even spread across the ground, Shen Yan had already ordered his servants to prepare a gorgeous carriage and park it in front of the mansion. Not long after, Murong Xiaoxiao supported Yang Jin and slowly walked out of the door.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Murong Xiao looked apologetic and spoke softly to Shen Yan who was waiting at the door.

"No, uncle, don't be so formal. Ah Jin and I are close friends! You can just call me Ah Yan, there's no need to be so formal."

"Okay, thank you very much, A Yan." Murong Xiao nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

"It's not a trouble at all. Come... get in the car slowly." Shen Yan responded while gently supporting Yang Jin and helping him into the carriage.

"Shen Da...Ayan." Yang Jin stared at him, and finally couldn't help but shout out.

Hearing Yang Jin's call, Shen Yan's hand trembled, but he pretended to be calm. He smiled slightly and responded, "Ajin, sit down, we'll set off now."

The carriage started slowly, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs was particularly clear in the silence of the early morning.

In the car, Yang Jin leaned against the carriage, while Murong Xiao closed her eyes and rested.

Shen Yan sat on the couch on the other side of the carriage, his eyes falling on Yang Jin from time to time.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted and Yang Jin nearly fell. Shen Yan quickly reached out to hold him up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Yang Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay."

"The carriage is a bit bumpy, why don't you lean on me?" Shen Yan suggested softly.

Yang Jin looked at Murong Xiao who was resting with her eyes closed and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

Shen Yan helped him sit next to him, and put his arms on the car to prevent Yang Jin from being bumped.

Yang Jin looked at his actions and couldn't help but smile knowingly, but then quickly restrained the smile.

The carriage continued to move forward in a bumpy ride, and the scenery outside the window gradually became blurred. Yang Jin closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

Shen Yan gently stretched out his hand and pushed the window open a crack. Fresh air blew in, mixed with a faint bamboo fragrance. At this moment, the carriage happened to stop in front of a simple but bustling tea stall.

"Master, why don't you take a rest here and have a meal?" A guard's low voice came from outside the car, with a bit of concern and advice in his tone.

Shen Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He turned around, his eyes fell on Yang Jin and Murong Xiao beside him, and asked softly: "Uncle, Jin, there is a tea stall in front, shall we take a break?"

Yang Jin and Murong Xiao looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, it's a good opportunity to get some fresh air."

After that, the three of them got off the carriage one after another. Shen Yan supported Yang Jin and walked towards the tea stall.

The three of them found a quiet corner and sat down. The guards sat at the other two tables.

The tea stall owner saw customers coming and immediately smiled brightly. He came forward and served them a pot of steaming hot tea. "Dear guests, what would you like to order?"

"I wonder what food you have in your store?" Shen Yan asked softly.

The boss quickly introduced: "Our stall mainly sells all kinds of noodles, such as clear soup noodles, braised pork noodles, etc. In addition, we also have some buns!"

"So... Uncle, Ajin, what do you want to eat?" Shen Yan turned his head and asked for their opinions.

Murong Xiao smiled lightly and said softly: "I just want a bowl of plain noodles."

Yang Jin thought for a moment and replied, "Then I'll have a bowl of braised pork noodles to try it out!"

"Okay, boss, then give us two bowls of braised pork noodles, one bowl of vegetarian noodles, and five buns..." As Shen Yan spoke, he turned his head to look at two tables not far behind him, where the guards he brought with him were sitting.
