After getting off the Ferris Wheel, Gu Zhan led the two children out of the amusement park. At this moment, he saw Qi Yi at the entrance of the amusement park.

She was wearing a red dress with exposed shoulders and her hair draped over her shoulders. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

When Qi Yi saw Gu Zhan bringing the two children out, she quickly ran over and asked happily, “What a coincidence. Brother Gu Zhan, you brought the two children out to play.”

Gu Zhan nodded after hearing that, but he couldn’t help but frown. Ever since that incident last time, Gu Zhan felt that he should keep a distance from Qi Yi.

For some reason, he felt that Qi Yi wasn’t as simple as he thought, especially after what happened that night when he was drunk.

This time, Gu Zhan made an excuse to Qi Yi and said, “Indeed, it’s quite a coincidence. I’m taking the two children back home. Otherwise, Luo Luo will get anxious.”

Qi Yi saw that Gu Zhan was about to leave, so she hurriedly stop him. Then, she made an excuse, “Since we’ve already met, it can be considered fate. Why don’t you play with the children longer and go back slightly later?”

Gu Bei and Gu Xi looked at each other. They knew that Qi Yi must be up to something bad. They hated this woman from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Xi quickly held Gu Zhan’s hand and said, “Dad, I’m a little tired. We’ve played for a long time today. Let’s go back. I want to eat Mom’s cooking.”

Gu Zhan was about to nod when Qi Yi squatted down anxiously. She held Gu Xi’s hand and said, “Why are you going back so early? Auntie will take you to play the merry-go-round later.”

Gu Xi shook her head in dissatisfaction. “No, I don’t want to play anymore. I’m tired after playing all day. I just want to go home.”

Qi Yi was a little angry that Gu Xi was so difficult to deal with. She placed her hopes on Gu Bei again and held his hand. “Xiao Bei, do you want to go back? Why don’t we play here for a while?”

Gu Bei had long seen through this hypocritical woman. He was a little unhappy and shook off Qi Yi’s hand, saying with a gloomy face, “I want to go back too.”

Seeing that the two children did not seem to like Qi Yi, Gu Zhan decided to stop tangling with Qi Yi. Instead, he held the two children’s hands and walked towards the entrance. In the first instance, Qi Yi wanted to chase after them.

But seeing that Gu Zhan didn’t want to bother with her at all, she could only stomp her feet in exasperation.

Gu Zhan held the two children’s hands and returned home. When they opened the door, the two children smelled the fragrant food in the house and ran happily into the kitchen.

Upon seeing that the two children had returned, Su Luo asked, “Did both of you have a good time today? Was it fun?”

The two children nodded happily. Su Luo said, “Alright, you two go ahead and play first. The food will be ready in a while.”

Gu Bei and Gu Xi nodded and left.

When Gu Zhan saw that the two children had left, he walked into the kitchen. Su Luo turned to look at Gu Zhan and asked, “Did you get along with the children today?”

Gu Zhan gently wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “I feel pretty good. At least now the two of them are willing to tell me everything. They used to hide when they saw me.”

While chopping the pork meat, Su Luo said, “Children are all intelligent. Whoever treats them well will treat that person well. Whoever treats them badly, they will stay away from that person.”

Gu Zhan also agreed with Su Luo’s words. Su Luo then glanced at the soup on the gas stove and said to Gu Zhan, “Alright, hurry up and bring my pork rib soup to the table.”

Gu Zhan nodded and went to open the lid, revealing the milky white pork rib soup. After a wave of fragrance, Gu Zhan saw corn, carrots, and some other small ingredients in the soup.

Gu Zhan wiped his saliva and said to Su Luo, “Honey, your cooking looks and smells very delicious.”

Su Luo looked at Gu Zhan and said with a smile, “Of course, I used to be a top chef.”
