Then, Zou Bai played with the siblings for another hour or two. The two little guys were completely exhausted. They waited for the confinement nannies to carry Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi back to their rooms.

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An and walked to her side. He asked in a relaxed tone, “1 feel like you’ve been troubled today. Did something happen?”

Jiang An raised her head and looked at Zou Bai. A faint smile appeared on her lips. “It’s nothing. 1 just suddenly feel that the negative impact of losing a father in a divorced family can’t be completely reduced no matter how weak it is.”

When Zou Bai heard Jiang An’s words, he quickly thought of something. “Don’t tell me you want to remarry?”

Jiang An paused. She had just started talking, but the other party had already thought of this.

Jiang An looked at Zou Bai in surprise. “That’s not entirely right. Someone does want to remarry, but it’s not me.”

Zou Bai chuckled and bent down slightly to approach Jiang An. He looked at her gently and asked in a low voice, “So, he took the initiative to look for you?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang An was not someone who liked to reveal her feelings to outsiders. Even though the two of them had a childhood friendship, they had only interacted with each other a few times. It was far from enough to make Jiang An feel comfortable.

However, at this moment, Jiang An looked into those eyes and suddenly felt the urge to confide in him. She told him about Si Cheng. “This afternoon, 1 suddenly felt that I had really deprived them of the right to enjoy fatherly love.”

Zou Bai’s expression didn’t change. He slowly said, “Then you’re wrong. You didn’t deprive them. Do you think someone like Si Cheng can really bring fatherly love to Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi?”

“I’ve actually heard some things about you. It’s not easy for you to jump out of this pit. Do you really have to jump back in for an uncertain matter? A good family atmosphere can sometimes be much more positive than the impact of the so-called biological father.”

Zou Bai’s words pulled Jiang An out of the negative emotions of self-blame and frustration.

Zou Bai watched as Jiang An’s eyes gradually became clear, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Then, he continued, “The Si family’s internal strife is very fierce. If he contacts you now, 1 don’t believe you can’t see what his actual motive is.”

“You have to know that some things won’t end well even if you try to sacrifice yourself. A pit is called a pit because it’s too deep. It’s very difficult to fill it up or climb out alone.”

Jiang An looked at the sky outside through the window. After a moment of silence, she said, “You’re right. Some people’s bad habits are hard to change. He wasn’t a good father in the past. The chances of getting better in the future are as unreliable as trying to make a fortune through gambling.”

After Jiang An thought it through, she felt much less guilty about the children. She turned to look at Zou Bai and asked in confusion, “Zou Bai, why are you free to come to my house today?”

Zou Bai looked outside the door and shouted, “Zou Yi, bring the box over.”

Zou Yi quickly took out the box from the bag he had been carrying and handed it to Zou Bai.

Zou Bai handed it to Jiang An and said, “This is my gift for Little Feather.”

Jiang An opened it curiously and found a cloth doll lying inside. It was dressed in jewelry and it was obvious that Jiang Yu would like it.

Similarly, Jiang An could tell that this cloth doll was expensive. She handed the box back to Zou Bai. “This gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Zou Bai naturally wouldn’t accept that. “This isn’t for you. 1 like Jiang Yu very much. When 1 saw this doll, 1 thought of her. I’ve already bought it, and the brand has already been torn out. There’s no way 1 can return it. Take it. As long as she likes it, it’s fine. A thousand dollars can’t buy a good heart. This doll isn’t worth much to me.”

Jiang An looked at the cloth doll in the box. It was wearing diamond-studded clothes and all kinds of jewelry. She once again understood what it meant to be rich and imposing, but after thinking about it, she still rejected it.

Zou Bai smiled. “If you feel bad, then treat me to a meal another day. And it must be a luxurious meal.”

She had rejected him twice in a row. Moreover, Jiang An thought of Zou Bai’s financial resources and knew that this was really just a small sum of money to him, so she did not reject him again.

To Jiang An, Zou Bai was both an older brother she had known since she was young and a friend. As friends, they had to reciprocate. “Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll take this doll without hesitation. 1 thank you on behalf of Jiang Yu..”
