"Mm?"
Lu Kenian turned her head to look at Lin Xiao upon hearing this.
In her eyes, Lin Xiao had always been an upright man.
He acted openly and was never the kind of petty person who would hide anything.
"This matter has been on my mind for three years," Lin Xiao said, lowering his head and pushing up his glasses.
Lu Kenian turned her head to look at him, not interrupting.
"Three years ago, when you were in the hospital giving birth, the first time the nurse went out to ask Guardian whether to save the child or not, Cold Cold Thunder gned the informed consent form for the surgery. At that time, he said without hesitation to save the child, his voice loud enough that we knew even before the nurse brought back the consent form."
"…"
"But after a while, for some reason, Cold Thunder suddenly rushed into the operating room despite everyone's objections. You were already unconscious at that time and unaware. When he saw you on the bed, he was completely shocked; I saw his face turn pale with fear."
Lu Kenian listened quietly.
"Later, he said Guardian. At first, we didn't hear clearly what he said. The later shout I remember clearly for the rest of my life; he said, 'Guardian, if anything happens to you, we all go with you!'"
When Lin Xiao spoke these words, he felt an immense sense of relief.
"I occasionally dream about that scene in the hospital. I think Cold Thunder probably didn't know it was you giving birth to his child at that time. Later, when I went to see you in the ward, I saw Cold Thunder a few times; each time he would secretly glance at you through the window before leaving. My colleagues at the hospital told me that Cold Thunder had asked about your recovery several times."
Lu Kenian was undoubtedly in disbelief.
"Later, when Chu Yun kidnapped you, I guessed that this was probably Chu Yun's scheme to drive a wedge between the two of you."
At this point, Lin Xiao finally revealed a relieved smile.
He patted his chest and said, "I started to see how filled with hatred you were towards the Cold Thunder. I intended to share my suspicions with you, but at that moment, I held back. I thought this was the only chance I had to be with you, so I let you continue to hate the Cold Thunder. That way, you wouldn't end up together. People really shouldn't do things that weigh on their conscience; when they do, they always end up having nightmares. Tonight, I can finally sleep well."
Lin Xiao said self-deprecatingly.
" Lu Kenian, I hope you can forgive me. After all, I've liked you since high school. At first, I really disliked you. Why did this girl have to be so annoying? Always scoring a few points higher than me and making me come in second. But gradually, I began to admire you and then fell for you. Lu Kenian, can you forgive me?"
Lu Kenian smiled and nodded, "Even so, I won't blame you, Lin Xiao. You're a good man; there will be someone more suitable for you than me."
"Let's hope so."
The two exchanged smiles.
After returning home, Lu Kenian stared blankly at the phone number of the Cold Thunder on her phone.
Even so, could she really be with the Cold Thunder?
What was the situation between the Cold Thunder and Chu Yun now?
Even if they were divorced, there was still that deep chasm of wealth between them.
I can't go back; ultimately, I can't go back.

Nanhua Bilingual Kindergarten
Chu Yun arrived at the kindergarten and asked Teacher Li to bring out Cold Haocheng.
" Mrs. Cold, long time no see," Teacher Li said warmly.
"Yes, it's been a while. I've been quite busy lately, but I finally have some time today and wanted to take Xiao Bei out for some fun."
"Sure, no problem. The next class is free activity anyway. Cold Haocheng has been very well-behaved recently."
"Oh, really? Then it's thanks to the teacher's good education. I won't disturb you any longer."
"Goodbye, Mrs. Cold."
Cold Haocheng looked at Chu Yun, unable to say a word. In fact, he hadn't spoken in a long time; even when he did, it was just simple words like "yes" or "good."
He turned back to glance at Teacher Li, seeking help with his eyes, but how could Teacher Li possibly understand?
Chu Yun took Cold Haocheng out of the kindergarten and headed straight to the zoo.
"You little brat, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point. Your father and your grandmother will pay for what they've done!"
Chu Yun glared fiercely at Cold Haocheng.
Cold Haocheng's eyes were filled with terror, but perhaps due to previous influences, he couldn't speak or call out.
After getting out of the car, Chu Yun bought tickets and took Cold Haocheng into the zoo.
Today was not a weekend, and there were less than two hours left until closing time, so there weren't many visitors in the zoo.
Chu Yun led Cold Haocheng directly to Tiger Mountain.
Usually, there were quite a few visitors here, but now the tigers had all gone into their dens to rest. Only one tiger remained outside, making it less interesting for viewing, and there were hardly any visitors around.
Chu Yun squatted down and grabbed Cold Haocheng by the collar.
"Kid, I once said that if you don't behave, I'll feed you to the tigers! I wonder how your dad and grandma would feel knowing their precious boy was eaten by a tiger, with not even a complete corpse left behind. Haha—"
Cold Haocheng trembled in fear.
Whenever he heard anything related to tigers, he would think of the video Chu Yun had shown him earlier.
Tiger Mountain in the zoo covered a large area. It was separated from the visitors by a wide moat; usually, the tigers played on the other side and did not cross over.
Therefore, the fence on the visitor's side wasn't built too high, allowing everyone to appreciate the majestic appearance of the tigers.
Chu Yun directly lifted Cold Haocheng over the fence and climbed over herself.
Because there was a ditch in between, this place was relatively safe.
She pulled Cold Haocheng forward, but Cold Haocheng held onto the railing tightly.
"Let go!" Chu Yun forcefully pried Cold Haocheng's hand away and dragged him to the side of the ditch. Then she quickly ran back and climbed over the railing again.
Cold Haocheng was completely stunned, standing still in place.
Chu Yun looked around and picked up a stone, throwing it forcefully into the ditch.
Water splashed up, and the tiger that had been lying on the grass immediately raised its head alertly.
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Chu Yun's mouth.
"I will definitely capture this precious moment and show it to your dad and grandma."
Saying this, Chu Yun immediately took out her phone and aimed it at Cold Haocheng.
The tiger seemed to sense the intruder, standing up and staring at the child across the ditch, slowly walking over step by step.
"Here it comes, the show is about to begin. Come here, my little tiger, there's a fresh and tasty little friend here, hahaha—"
Due to the lack of people in the zoo, no one noticed that there was a child standing there in Tiger Mountain.
