He had too many unanswered questions in his mind: Why did she choose to pretend to cheat?

Why would she admit that Lanlan was Sang Yue’s child?

Why did you leave without giving him any chance to explain?

These questions weighed on his heart like a huge rock, making it difficult for him to speak.

However, at this moment, he just held her hand quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

Perhaps, some problems do not need to be solved immediately.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Chen Shu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Fu Chaoge shook his head, feeling very conflicted.

People may not want to talk about those sensitive topics, but why bother to poke at the pain point? It’s fine the way it is now.

Chen Shuo could sense that Fu Chaoge had something on his mind but he just wouldn't say it. She also had a lot of explanations and grievances in her heart, and she wanted to clear up all the previous misunderstandings at once.

"I have something to say, do you want to hear it?" she asked tentatively.

"Of course I do." Fu Chaoge answered without hesitation.

"See, I knew you were holding something in your mind."

Chen Shu smiled, stretched out her slender fingers and gently pointed at Fu Chaoge. Her smile was filled with two dimples, making her look particularly sweet.

Fu Chaoge couldn't help but smile, although the smile was hidden so deeply that it couldn't be seen unless you looked closely.

"My dad was kidnapped by Li Chuyue before. Although he was fine in the end, I was really scared at that time."

Chen Shuo said this with a heavy tone, "My father is so important to me. If I could exchange my life for his, I..."

She had never experienced fatherly love either in her previous life or after she traveled through the book.

Before she could finish her words, Fu Chaoge covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes full of heartache and dissatisfaction, and he shook his head gently.

He let go of his hand only after Chen Shu winked at him.

"I just said that. Don't take it seriously. You pinched me too hard and it hurt."

The statement muttered.

"Don't say such stupid things again." Fu Chaoge looked at Chen Shu seriously, "I will protect you and Dad and won't let you get hurt again."

He knew in his heart that Chen Shu must have felt helpless and scared when he heard the news that his father had been kidnapped.

But he was also angry, angry that this little woman always habitually took on everything on her own and was unwilling to rely on him.

He is her support, her man, and she should learn to seek shelter in his arms.

Sensing the change in Fu Chaoge's mood, Chen Shu playfully stroked his palm with his fingertips, and then he held it warmly and firmly.

She curled her lips helplessly, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the white ceiling, and her thoughts drifted back to the past.

"I know you will definitely blame me for not telling you such a big thing, but Li Chuyue wanted me to leave you at that time. If I told you, would you let me go? Be gentle, I'm a patient!"

Chen Shu pouted, pulled her hand back in pretending to be angry, and deliberately turned her head away to ignore him.

Fu Chaoge realized that his actions just now were indeed a bit too much, especially when he heard Chen Shuo say that he wanted to leave, his heart felt like it was pricked by a needle.

Over the past year or so, the days without her have been extremely tormenting for him. He couldn't imagine how dark the future would be if he really lost her.

He gently took Chen Shu's hand again and carefully wrapped it in his big hands, as if conveying silent promises and comfort.

Chen Shuo felt Fu Chaoge's tenderness and turned his head awkwardly, meeting his deep and determined eyes.

She pursed her lips slightly, wanting to ask the doubts in her heart.

"I will never let you go through that kind of pain again. I was careless before and didn't expect Li Chuyue to be so cruel. From now on, I will never let this happen again."

Fu Chaoge's tone was full of self-blame and determination.

"Speaking of Li Chuyue, she is really crazy about you. However, I have always been curious, why don't you recognize Li Xiaoyu?"

Chen Shu finally asked the question in his mind.

She left Fu Chaoge before because she mistakenly thought that he acknowledged the existence of Li Chuyue's child, but now it seems that this is not the case.

When Fu Chaoge heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Li Chuyue... stole my descendants and created this child. As for why I don't recognize her, it's because..."

Having said this, he paused slightly, as if he was considering his words.

"Is it because you have no intention of having children at all? Or..." Chen Shu asked anxiously.

"Before I met you, I never thought about getting married and having children. It was only for the sake of the elderly in my family that I stored my descendants in the Descendant Library. As for Li Xiaoyu, she was not part of my plan."

Fu Chaoge's explanation made Chen Shuo feel surprised and distressed.

She didn't expect that there was such a story behind Fu Chaoge.

"So that's it..."

Chen Shu muttered to himself, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

She didn't expect Fu Chaoge's past to be so tortuous, and she didn't expect the misunderstanding between them to be so deep.

But fortunately, everything has been talked out now, and their hearts are closer to each other again.

Chen Shu tried hard to keep a straight face, afraid that a smile would reveal her mood, but the unintentional upward curve of her eyes still betrayed her inner turmoil.

Fu Chaoge's fingertips gently slid across the tip of her nose with a hint of doting, making her look up at him involuntarily, her red lips pursed to make her look even more adorable.

"No matter what happens in the future, don't handle it alone. I'm here for you, okay?"

There was unquestionable firmness in Fu Chaoge's gentle words.

Chen Shuo felt warm in his heart, but then he thought of something, and said with a hint of playfulness: "Um...our divorce agreement, have you signed it?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chaoge's expression instantly turned ugly, and he frowned slightly: "Why, are you so anxious to break up with me?"

Seeing Fu Chaoge's expression change, Chen Shuo quickly waved his hands, but a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily: "Oh, I'm just worried that you'll have a new love one day, so I've signed everything and made preparations in advance."

Fu Chaoge shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting: "You...there's something I haven't told you yet."

The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and Chen Shuo became tense, waiting for Fu Chaoge's next words.

Then they came to the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital.

Chen Shuo pushed open the door with trembling hands, and when he saw his father sleeping on the hospital bed, tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

She knew that all this was because of her past willfulness.

Although she was an orphan before she traveled through the book, she already knew how to love her father.

Chen Shuo staggered to the bedside, looked at the familiar and haggard face, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
