Chapter 121: She Can't Escape

"Your dad will be okay, eat up and come back to sleep with me."

Lu Chenyuan didn't directly answer, he definitely wouldn't let Lin Yan be threatened to a dead end.

If there was no path, he would help pave one.

Lin Yan chewed her food in small bites, feeling drained as if even eating was exhausting.

Zhou Ping came back taking care of the children, and she was so tired she couldn't even straighten her back. The little ones wouldn't sleep, and she had to soothe them for hours.

Finally, when both children had fallen asleep, she checked the time and jumped in shock— it was already past midnight.

Zhou Ping initially thought it was too late and decided to stay at her daughter's house overnight.

Chu Xiu had already taken out the blankets for her, letting her sleep in the same room as the children.

Her son-in-law didn't allow it, insisting several times that she should return home.

Zhou Ping's forthright nature had always dominated the village; no one dared to provoke her.
