The early morning sunlight shone on the bed through the white curtains. Su Lan opened her eyes and glanced at the time.

At [-]:[-], she quickly got up, washed up, went to the presidential suite next door, and opened the door.

After knocking on the bedroom door and receiving no response, Su Lan opened the door and walked in to see that the bed was empty.

Sitting in the taxi going back, Lingtang called Lisa to ask for leave, saying that she was feeling unwell and would not go to work today.

"Mr. Ling just came back from Germany early this morning. Things went smoothly. He also asked for leave today."

Lisa's voice on the other end of the phone was excited, and Ling Tang wanted to know the reason for her excitement. After all, the boss was away, and she could fish secretly for another day.

"Oh? My brother is a workaholic. Asking for leave is not his style."

Lisa's voice paused, and the next second, she told her the reason, "Yesterday afternoon, my wife came back from New Zealand."

When Ling Tang heard the sound, his hand holding the phone tightened instantly.

When they got home, they were having breakfast. Lingtang wanted to go upstairs quietly, but the servant standing at the door of the restaurant saw her.

The servant immediately walked into the restaurant and said, "Sir, the lady is back."

In the restaurant, Ling Xiao's neither salty nor bland voice came out, "Xiaotang, come over and have a meal together."

Can't hide! The feet that had already stepped up the stairs were instantly retracted. She took a deep breath, responded, and slowly moved to the restaurant.

Ling Xiao was sitting on the main seat, holding a newspaper in his hand, seeming to be studying something. When he heard her coming, he didn't even raise his head.

To his right, sat Qin Shuya, who is now Mrs. Ling.

Seeing her coming in, Qin Shuya smiled and greeted her first, "Little sister, long time no see."

Ling Tang sat down on the left side of Ling Xiao, looked at Qin Shuya opposite, and smiled with great difficulty, "Sister-in-law, long time no see."

Ling Xiao closed the newspaper, his eyes fell on Qin Shuya, a soft color flashed across his eyes, "You go up first and see the children."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuya put down the bowl and chopsticks obediently and smiled softly, "Okay, then you can use it slowly."

Before leaving the table, Qin Shuya walked up to Ling Tang and patted her shoulder, "Come upstairs and find me later. I brought a gift for you."

When only the brother and sister were left in the restaurant, Ling Xiao glanced at his sister and asked, "Are you familiar with everything in the company?"

After five years of not seeing each other, the atmosphere between the two siblings is still awkward.

She casually picked up a piece of bread in front of her and took a bite, "I'm familiar with it."

"Where did you go last night?"

This question caught her off guard. Her hand holding the bread paused, and she was silent for a few seconds before replying truthfully, "I went to see Shen Peizhi."

Her whereabouts could not be hidden from Shen Peizhi, nor could she hide her whereabouts from Ling Xiao.

"Shu Ya told me yesterday that she wants to return to F City with Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang. What do you think?"

Hearing these words, Ling Tang seemed to have been hit in some weak spot. She suppressed her emotions and decisively rejected his proposal, "No!"

This answer was within Ling Xiao's expectation. He looked at her with a slightly sad look on his brows, "Why?"

"I don't want him to know they exist."

If the two children returned to live in F City, they would be exposed to Shen Peizhi's eyes. She did not want the two children to be involved in these disputes.

Knowing her concerns, Ling Xiao sighed, with some helplessness in his words, "Xiaotang, they are my and Shu Ya's children, he won't know."

Ling Xiao's words were deceiving himself.

"Brother, you know, it is easy for Shen Peizhi to figure out the identities of the two children."

Five years ago, the moment Lingtang decided to keep the child, Ling Xiao paved the way for her future.

He arranged for her to get on a plane to England, and soon married Qin Shuya and gave her the identity of Mrs. Ling.

After the child was born, he was sent to New Zealand to live with Qin Shuya, while Lingtang stayed in the UK to complete his studies.

Ling Tang knew in his heart that his brother did all this not only for her, but more to keep Si Guanyu's engagement with her.

But for so many years, in order to give her a sufficient sense of security and prevent Shen Peizhi from discovering the two children, he and Qin Shuya, as husband and wife, could only live in two places.

Seeing her persistence, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated. After all, he owed her first, "I understand. I will arrange for Shuya and the children to leave tomorrow."

After hearing Ling Xiao's answer, Ling Tang felt relieved.

"Xiaotang, a lot of things can change in five years. Shen Peizhi is getting married, did you know?"

Ling Tang was stunned, put down the half-eaten bread in his hand, and asked, "With whom?"

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at her with suspicion. After confirming that she really didn't know, he reported a name, "Chen Shuyun."

"This woman seems to have some issues with you."

Lingtang didn't listen to the last sentence, because when she heard the three words Chen Shuyun, her mind went blank.

Seeing her dull eyes, Ling Xiao's next words came one after another, "When do you plan to arrange your wedding to Si Guanyu?"

Hearing this, Ling Tang's eyebrows grew colder, and she sneered, with a hint of sarcasm hanging on her lips.

"Brother, five years can change a lot of things, but it can't change you."

Every word he said to her today was knocking her down.

Ling Xiao was not annoyed by her blunt revelation of her purpose. He looked at her with no trace of emotion in his dark eyes, "I hope you get married as soon as possible."

This marriage has been delayed for too long, and the longer it is delayed, the more trouble there will be.

Under the dining table, Ling Tang's fists clenched quietly. She raised her eyes, and the sadness slowly emerged in her eyes, "I thought so too."

Although the conversation ended unhappily, their goals were agreed upon.

When she woke up this morning, Ling Tang's head still hurt. Shen Peizhi had long since disappeared, and her memory stayed at the moment before she fainted.

At this moment, she didn't have the energy to think about what happened yesterday. She just wanted to go upstairs quickly, take a bath, see the children and then go to bed.

When she returned to the room, Ling Tang saw Qin Shuya waiting at the door. She was holding a gift box in her hand. When she saw Ling Tang coming, her eyes were full of joy.

Qin Shuya handed the box of chocolates to her hand, looking at her eyes with anticipation, "Little sister, these are the chocolates I brought back from New Zealand. Xiangxiang specifically told me to bring them to you."

The chocolate in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Looking at the woman in front of him, Ling Tang felt extremely guilty.

How could she not know the purpose of Qin Shuya's return this time?

For more than four years, Ling Xiao has been traveling back and forth between City F and New Zealand once a month, suffering from the fatigue of the journey. However, he and Qin Shuya have not yet been able to have a child of their own.

Holding the chocolate in his hand, Ling Tang sighed and said with a guilty look, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

The expectation in Qin Shuya's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by loss and helplessness. Her hands hung weakly on her sides, "Little sister, I owe you. I don't blame you."

Five years ago, Qin Shuya, in order to get angry with Ling Xiao, broke the marriage contract between Ling and Si Ning, took Ling Tang away, and sent her to H University under the guidance of Shen Peizhi. things.

A milky voice broke the silence between the two, "Auntie!"
