Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

When Chen Lan ran to the main gate, she also saw that familiar man before her; she froze slightly, then instinctively ran out, while Jiang Wenyu — his eyes still burning with rage — kept them fixed dead on the man running up behind, and then he flew up with a kick, driving it hard into the main gate.

The gate, which originally opened inward, was kicked by Jiang Wenyu until it trembled, and it just happened to swing back onto Wu Chang chasing behind; the heavy iron door knocked him flat on the ground.

"Ah!"

Wu Chang lay on the ground and let out a pained howl; the rage on Jiang Wenyu's face had not dissipated. Wu Chang also reacted, hurriedly scrambling up and retreating a few steps, shouting: "Who the hell are you!"

Jiang Wenyu did not answer; deep inside, he had long been consumed by rage. When had he ever been this furious? He gently set down the somewhat frightened Jiang Nuannuan in his arms and immediately moved toward Wu Chang.

Wu Chang clearly looked a bit scared too; clutching his stomach, he kept retreating while cursing: "You fucking want to die!?"

Right at this moment, Chen Lan suddenly grabbed Jiang Wenyu's sleeve; his body trembled as he turned to look, only to see Chen Lan's eye rims red, silently shaking her head at him, then she picked up Jiang Nuannuan and turned away.

Watching Chen Lan's heartbreaking retreating figure, the rage in Jiang Wenyu's heart did not lessen but grew; he turned back and looked coldly at Wu Chang, his voice firm and crisp, saying: "I'm her husband."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang also blanked for a moment, but could only watch helplessly as Chen Lan left. Jiang Wenyu also finally said no more, took a deep breath, turned and walked away.

And Wu Chang, watching the two's retreating figures, still wore an expression full of resentment.

……

On the walk home, Chen Lan's mood was who knows what; Jiang Wenyu, however, was somewhat heavy, his limping gait also making Chen Lan a bit concerned, and she asked softly: "Are you hurt?"

Jiang Wenyu smiled casually: "It's nothing." Kicking that iron gate with one foot — saying it didn't hurt would definitely be a lie.

The two didn't exchange a single word the whole way, all the way back home.

Jiang Nuannuan had been a bit scared earlier, but once back home she was fine, bouncing and hopping as she ran into the room to play.

Chen Lan skillfully started cooking; Jiang Wenyu sat not far behind her, and without thinking said: "Don't go to work anymore from now on."

Chen Lan's body gave a start and she hurriedly turned back, only to see Jiang Wenyu looking at her seriously; before she could say more, Jiang Wenyu continued: "What I earn is enough for the household."

For such words to come from Jiang Wenyu's mouth indeed startled Chen Lan a little, but she still lowered her head and said faintly: "Working there lets Nuan Nuan get learning opportunities; for Nuan Nuan I can't leave either…"

Even without her saying it, Jiang Wenyu knew what had happened in the factory, but Chen Lan is a smart, strong-willed woman who knows how to handle things, and that Food Factory — in Jiang Wenyu's impression — only the boss seemed like a decent person; as for the boss's son Wu Chang, he's an utter bastard through and through.

In fact, Chen Lan also has her own thoughts; staying at that factory to work is one, for Nuan Nuan, and two, still for a livelihood; yes, even now she still cannot fully believe Jiang Wenyu will reform.

This point Jiang Wenyu also saw in his eyes; faced with Chen Lan's stubbornness, his tone also turned slightly harder, saying: "A Kindergarten can be found again; the household doesn't lack…"

"My business doesn't need you to mind!"

Before he could finish, a sentence from Chen Lan cut him off.

Between the two, it instantly fell silent; this was also the first time since Jiang Wenyu returned to this body that he didn't know what to do.

The atmosphere at dinner was also a bit frozen; after cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Wenyu set about preparing the tools needed for tomorrow.

But when the sky was about to darken, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.
