After Chenchen and I finished packing the last suitcase.

Zhou Xuan finally returned.

He noticed my packing movements, and his brow furrowed slightly, like two sharp swords.

"Why are you packing? Where are you going?"

"Chenchen wants to relax a bit, so I'm taking him out for a few days." I casually offered an excuse.

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Xuan's expression eased considerably.

He took out gifts from his pocket.

He brought back a fake eye for Chenchen.

For me, it was a ruby-studded diamond bracelet.

If it were before, Chenchen and I would have eagerly accepted them from his hands.

But now, Chenchen and I both stood still, unmoving.

Seeing my odd behavior, Zhou Xuan paused for a moment but quickly adjusted his emotions, picking up the bracelet and putting it on my wrist.

His eyes were full of sincerity, as if I were his lifelong love.

Seeing my normal expression, he casually opened his mouth:

"Tomorrow Shen Qing and Youyou will be guests at home, I'll have her stay for a few days."

As he spoke, he observed my expression.

"Of course, if you and our son mind, just consider that I didn't say anything."

I smiled faintly inside.

Sure enough, the gifts had long been marked with a price in secret.

"That's fine, no problem."

She can stay in this home indefinitely because I'll soon be leaving with our child.

"You... you agreed?"

Perhaps my decisive reply caught him off guard.

Seeing that I seemed unperturbed by his relationship with Shen Qing, Zhou Xuan showed a relieved smile.

He lovingly stroked Chenchen's cheek, gazing at his covered eye, his eyes inevitably reflecting guilt.

"Today is Chenchen's birthday, and his favorite thing is riding roller coasters. Dad has reserved the amusement park for us; let's enjoy a full day together as a family."

He promised Chenchen, but just as he finished speaking, his phone rang urgently.

Seeing the caller ID, his expression flashed with embarrassment.

He discreetly took the call.

"Brother Xuan, Youyou seems to have an upset stomach, she's been vomiting and diarrhea, what should we do?"

Zhou Xuan's face changed, his brow deeply furrowed, and after ending the call, he said he had urgent matters to handle and hurriedly headed out.

Watching his departing silhouette, Chenchen instinctively called out.

"Dad!"

Zhou Xuan's steps paused briefly, giving his son a slight smile, then continued walking away.

As his figure disappeared, the light in his son's eyes gradually dimmed.

He came to my side and hugged me tightly.

"Mom, let's go."

I nodded, and my son pushed my wheelchair out the door.

Before leaving, I left the bracelet he gave me and Chenchen's fake eye along with a breakup letter written in French on the table.

Arriving at the airport, just as the plane was about to take off.

Zhou Xuan's message slowly came through.

"It's my fault for missing today, but I bought gifts to apologize to you and our son."

"Wait for me to come back."

I didn't reply, just coldly blocked him and turned off my phone.

After sending the message, Zhou Xuan stared intently at the dark phone on the table.

In the past, whenever he messaged me, I always replied immediately.

But this time, it's been over an hour, and he hasn't received any response from me.

After hesitating for a long time, he dialed my number, but the result was only the cold mechanical voice announcing the shutdown.

He made more than a dozen calls but couldn't get through.

After soothing Shen Qing and her daughter, on the way home, he pressed the accelerator to its fastest!

"Tiantian, Chenchen, I'm back."

But the empty villa offered no response.

A document on the table caught his attention.

He stepped forward, puzzled, and looked down.

The breakup letter written in French instantly entered his view...
