On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

En Ning stared at Deng Xu without blinking, trying to find more of the strangeness that had just flashed across her mind.

Deng Xu's expression has returned to normal and he is patiently waiting for the water in the kettle to slowly boil.

There is a hot water dispenser in the bedroom upstairs, but Deng Xu is not comfortable using the water from the dispenser to make milk powder for the babies.

The kettle for boiling water is his own for the baby.

There is a huge difference between the importance Deng Xu attaches to the children and Jiangnan's indifference to them.

Deng Xu is patient and meticulous, and puts all his energy into Chu Yue and the children. Although he and Chu Yue have had some unpleasantness recently, it is undeniable that he is a good husband and a good father.

Enning thought that Deng Xu's expression was not right just now because he was blaming Chu Lichuan for his overbearing behavior. After all, he was his uncle-in-law, and it would be bad if this caused a rift between him and his wife.

Enning apologized on behalf of Chu Lichuan.

"I'm sorry, Li Chuan means no harm, he just cares too much about my aunt and the children."

Deng Xu turned around, smiled at En Ning, and picked up the boiling kettle. "I know! I don't blame him anymore! Yueyue is taking care of the children alone. I'll go back to my room to make milk powder for the children."

"okay."

Enning looked at Deng Xu's back as he went upstairs, and always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Chu Manke peeled a bunch of walnuts and stuffed the largest kernel into Enning's mouth. She followed Enning's gaze and saw that Deng Xu had already entered the room, so she saw nothing.

"looking at what?"

Enning didn't like eating walnuts, especially raw ones, because they were very bitter. Just as she was about to spit them out, Chu Manke lifted up her nail that was broken from peeling walnuts, so Enning had to endure the bitterness and eat it.

"Are you worried about my brother?"

"Aren't you worried?"

Chu Manke said while eating walnuts, "What's there to worry about! He is so brave, you should worry about those bad guys."

En Ning couldn't help but laugh, "You and An Jun really have a tacit understanding, you say the same thing."

"Who has a tacit understanding with him! I don't have a tacit understanding with him!" Chu Manke got angry when she mentioned An Jun.

An Jun hasn't contacted her for several days.

Before, An Jun pestered her every day, sending WeChat messages early in the morning, asking her if she was awake, had she eaten, and what she wanted to eat today.

If she didn't reply, he would call her directly. He knew her biological clock so accurately and without any mistakes. He even knew what time she lay down to sleep at night, as if he had installed a surveillance camera on her. Only after saying good night to her could he give her a moment of peace.

But since he came back, An Jun seemed like a different person. He suddenly stopped contacting her and stopped bothering her.

She had been staying in the store all day these days, but hadn't seen An Jun come to work. She asked Jiang Fei indirectly, but An Jun was not on a business trip.

Since he was not on a business trip, why didn't An Jun come to work?

An Jun is not a lazy person, he is very ambitious. Is he not feeling well?

If he was not feeling well, he would have called her to ask for care.

Before, he was making juice for a beverage shop and accidentally cut his hand while cutting lemons. It was just a layer of skin broken and no blood was shed. He held his finger in front of her and complained, asking for credit and care.

She wanted to ask En Ning, who must know why An Jun didn't come to work.

But she couldn't ask.

She didn't want others to think that she was worried about An Jun and cared about An Jun.

She didn't care about him, didn't pay any attention to him.

He can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants!

Enning sat down on the chair in a depressed mood, looking out the dark window, "Aren't you worried about him?"

"Didn't I tell you, there's nothing to worry about my brother! He always knows what he's doing! He has you and the three little ones now, so he won't put himself in danger."

Chu Manke held the walnuts in the plate and sat cross-legged on a low stool nearby.

She looked nonchalant.

Compared to An Jun's sudden loss of contact, she was indeed not that worried about Chu Lichuan.

"I'm talking about An Jun!" En Ning stared at the changing expressions on Chu Manke's face word by word.

Sure enough, Chu Manke's expression changed, her eyes suddenly widened, and her voice even trembled a little.

"An Jun...what happened to him? Could it be..." Chu Manke's face turned pale instantly, and she gasped, "He went there too?"

Enning nodded slightly.

Chu Manke stood up from the stool and knocked over the walnuts in the plate, which rolled all over the floor.

"what!"

"You do not know?"

"I……"

Chu Manke opened her mouth and her whole body stiffened.

She didn't know that An Jun didn't tell her at all.

"I thought you knew."

Enning thought that given how much An Jun cared about Chu Manke recently, he would tell Chu Manke about his whereabouts. No matter what, he could gain Chu Manke's attention and care.

An Jun should not miss such a good opportunity.

But An Jun didn’t tell Chu Manke. What does this mean?

Enning became uneasy and his heart was pounding.

This shows that this operation was extremely dangerous, and An Jun had no confidence at all that he could come back safe and sound, and he even went there with the determination to die!

Chu Manke suddenly rushed out.

Enning quickly followed him out.

Chu Manke ran very fast and En Ning could hardly catch up with her. Just then, Ariel came in from the door, looking distraught, so En Ning quickly called out to her.

"Rui'er, stop Manke!"

Ariel suddenly came back to her senses and hugged Chu Manke who was about to rush out the door.

Ariel didn't know what was going on, and no matter how Chu Manke struggled, she still held her tightly.

"Enning, what happened?" Ariel was afraid that Chu Manke would run out, so she closed the door with her foot and looked blankly at Enning who was chasing after her.

"Man Ke, don't be impulsive! Even if you go find him, you can't do anything!"

Enning grabbed Chu Manke and shook her hard, trying to calm her down.

Chu Manke's face was very pale, and her lips moved. "Why didn't he tell me? Does he want to die? He must not want to live! Why is he so depressed?"

"What does he mean? He said he owed me and would spend his whole life to repay me. Does that mean he doesn't keep his word? How can he break his promise again? How could he lie to me again?"

Enning waited for Chu Manke to vent her emotions, calmed down a little, and said quietly.

"Since you care about him so much, when he comes back you should ask him carefully and make things clear to him."

"Can he come back? He didn't even tell me! He definitely won't be able to come back!" Chu Manke also realized this.

"Even so, even if you go, what can you do? You can't do anything, and you will become a burden to him and increase his risk! It's better to wait patiently at home for him to come back! He owes you compensation, a compensation that you can never repay in your lifetime. He won't get into trouble easily."

Enning held Chu Manke's shoulders, stared into her eyes, and continued.

"Man Ke, believe in him! He will definitely come back!"

Enning was as worried about Chu Lichuan as Chu Manke and wanted to find him.

But she can't go.

Not only would going there not help Chu Lichuan, it would also make Chu Lichuan more vulnerable and make his situation more dangerous.

It’s better to wait patiently at home.

All they can do now is wait, so that they can have no worries and concentrate on doing what they have to do.

Chu Manke's body softened and she almost fell to the ground. She lowered her head and two lines of tears quietly slid down her cheeks.

Seeing Chu Manke crying, Ariel sneered and said sarcastically, "Now you know how to care about him! When he was by your side, who told you not to cherish him? You deserve it!"
