  Zhou Shuang continued to struggle, so he pulled her into his arms.

  “Lu Yinan, what are you doing?” Zhou Shuang frowned in frustration as she glared at him. She gritted her teeth but kept her voice low in fear of scaring Jiaojiao.

  She used her glare to convey her frustration.

  Lu Yinan ignored her and continued, “I want to apologize and patch things up with you. Don’t you get it?”


  Apologizing wasn’t something Lu Yinan would do. Zhou Shuang snorted coldly in her heart. She kept her face stoic, and she said, “Let go of me.”


  She exerted all her might in her struggle.

  But Lu Yinan was a man. He was tall and…… muscular. She wouldn’t be able to break free from his grasp unless he allowed her to.

  “Are you letting go or not?” Zhou Shuang’s face turned red, and she flashed him a glare as a warning.

  “Stop causing a scene. Can’t we just live peacefully?” Lu Yinan frowned before looking at Jiaojiao. His voice softened as he said, “Look how much weight she’s lost because she’s been missing you.”


  Zhou Shuang snarled, “I will bring her along this time.”


  Lu Yinan’s voice turned cold. “You won’t be able to leave this time.”


  Then he hugged her tighter that Zhou Shuang couldn’t even move. She bit his thumb in exasperation.

  “Ah……” Lu Yinan yelped and instinctively let go of her. Zhou Shuang took this opportunity to push him away. “Lu Yinan, stop being such a jerk.”


  Lu Yinan swung his bitten hand up and down and the pain quickly subsided. He looked at her and frowned. “We’re almost in our thirties. Can’t we get along?”


  Zhou Shuang replied coldly, “It’s precisely because I’m almost thirty. I don’t want to drag this any longer. I don’t have much time to waste.”


  A cold gleam flashed across Lu Yinan’s eyes. He raised his eyebrow at her and asked, “You’re saying that you’re wasting your time staying with my family?”


  Zhou Shuang tilted her chin up and looked at him fearlessly. “What else?”


  “What’s wrong with my family? Who doesn’t treat you well?” Lu Yinan reached out to grab her wrist and gritted his teeth as he drew closer to her.

  She actually said that staying by his side was a waste of time.

  This woman simply didn’t know what she’s in for.

  Seeing the cold look on his face as he drew closer, Zhou Shuang became slightly frightened.

  She wasn’t afraid of what he was going to do to her. She was afraid of what he was going to do to her in Jiaojiao’s presence.

  She didn’t want him to scare her child.

  She supported her weight on the bed and she slowly leaned backward. As Lu Yinan inched closer, she inched backwards. “That’s not the life I want.”


  “Then enlighten me. What is the life that you want?” Lu Yinan smiled ambiguously as he moved closer.

  They were in close proximity.

  “The life I want has nothing to do with you.” Zhou Shuang hit the head of the bed, and she pushed him away with force.

  Pushing him back to where he was at the start.

  Then she shifted herself and leaned against the head of the bed, shoulder-to-shoulder with Jiaojiao.

  Lu Yinan didn’t lean in anymore. He sat straight up and looked at her seriously. “Zhou Shuang, you’re already a mother of three. Why are you still dreaming like a teenage girl? You’re hoping for a fresh start with someone new?”


  Why can’t this overbearing woman settle down and live a peaceful life?
