Under his dark, unquestionable gaze, Jiang Shuyin had no choice but to take out her phone.
She didn't hand her phone to him, but instead asked, "Your number."
The man pressed his thin lips together tightly. "My private number. It hasn't changed."
Back then in the Black Desert, he had only given his private number to her alone.
A string of numbers unconsciously surfaced in Jiang Shuyin's mind.
She subconsciously saved it in her contacts.
After saving it, she froze slightly.
Seeing her action, Lu Yan's deep eyes revealed a hint of teasing. "It's been years, and you still remember it?"
Jiang Shuyin rolled up her sleeve, revealing the scar on her arm. "Some things are just like these marks on my body; they can never be erased."
When Lu Yan saw the marks on her arm, his tall figure stiffened fiercely.
These scars on her body were an eternal pain in his heart!
He had once hurt her body terribly, and that was a fact that could never be changed.
"Lu Yan, you need to be clear. Even if we have a child, it doesn't change the relationship between us."
Lu Yan's breath hitched with a sharp pain.
He raised his large hand several times, wanting to pull her slender body into his arms.
But he wouldn't force her like he used to.
Feelings cannot be forced. The fact that she had given birth to Little Sweet Orange was already the best return she could give him.
He shouldn't ask for too much.
Moreover, he was currently undercover and couldn't make her any promises.
"Jiang Shuyin, regarding the harm I caused you in the past, no matter what unavoidable circumstances or other reasons I had, I brought you double the trauma, both mentally and physically. I want to say I'm sorry to you."
His sudden apology made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning.
A sour feeling rushed straight to her nose, and her eyes blurred with a hot, swelling mist.
She didn't know why hearing his apology made her inexplicably want to cry.
Perhaps the suffering she had endured all those years had finally received a word of apology from him.
Or perhaps there were deeper reasons. Before she could capture that trace of emotion in her heart, Lu Yan was suddenly attacked.
A splash of cool water squirted onto his face.
Lu Yan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed sharply.
As the captain of the IBI, his anti-reconnaissance awareness was extremely sharp. If a dangerous person approached him, he could detect them from far away.
But right now, he had actually been squirted in the face with water.
If it had been a bullet, his forehead would have already been pierced.
Aside from the fact that he had been entirely engrossed in his conversation with Jiang Shuyin just now, the other party's skills were not to be underestimated.
Lu Yan's eagle eyes swept sharply toward the person who had squirted him.
As a result, he saw a little boy standing not far away.
The little boy was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
But despite his young age, he had a certain intimidating aura about him.
Cold and aloof, matching how he himself was as a child.
"Don't bully my person!" the little boy spoke domineeringly.
Lu Yan's eyebrows knitted tightly together.
His handsome facial contours darkened. "Didn't your adults teach you any manners?"
Aside from his own daughter, he wouldn't show a good face to other children, especially this kind of impolite kid.
His own little girl was still the well-behaved one!
"If I had a real gun in my hand, you'd be lying in a coffin right now."
Jiang Shuyin turned her head and saw Little Yiyi standing not far away holding a water gun. Her mouth twitched.
Just as she was about to tell Lu Yan that Little Yiyi was Little Sweet Orange's brother, she saw the man stride over to Little Yiyi with his long legs.
Unafraid of death, Little Yiyi squirted Lu Yan in the face with water again.
Lu Yan caught up to Little Yiyi in a few quick strides. His large hand grabbed the back of his collar, lifting Little Yiyi up from behind.
"Where are your parents?"
If this were his own brat, his palm would have already landed on his buttocks.
Little Yiyi struggled, wanting to get down from Lu Yan's grasp, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Lu Yan, let go of Little Yiyi right now!" Jiang Shuyin quickly walked over.
Hearing the commotion, Little Sweet Orange also rushed out of the room.
Seeing her brother being held up by her daddy, she ran over with a nervous face. "Daddy, let go of my brother quickly!"
Brother?
Lu Yan looked at Jiang Shuyin with furrowed brows. "You brought someone else's child to travel with the little girl?"
Little Yiyi was more than half a head taller than Little Sweet Orange, with long arms and legs. He didn't look like a child of the same age, so Lu Yan didn't even consider the possibility that this was his own son.
"Don't tell me you arranged a childhood marriage for the little girl?" Lu Yan's face grew gloomier as he spoke. "The little girl is still so young; you can't let her have a boyfriend."
Jiang Shuyin was speechless.
She hadn't known his imagination was this wild before!
"Stupid Daddy, Little Yiyi is my biological brother!"
Boom!
Lu Yan's mind instantly went blank.
His hand holding the back of Little Yiyi's collar suddenly let go.
After regaining his freedom, Little Yiyi was about to pick up the water gun to squirt him again, but in the next second, Lu Yan pulled off the little guy's mask.
A handsome, cold little face was revealed without reservation.
There was absolutely no need to do a DNA test with the little boy in front of him. Just from his appearance alone, it was obvious that this was his seed.
He was simply a miniature version of himself.
The heart in Lu Yan's chest began to beat violently again.
Thump, thump, thump.
It felt as if it were going to leap out of his chest.
Little Yiyi ignored Lu Yan. He grabbed Little Sweet Orange's hand and led her away.
Lu Yan stood frozen in place, his brain completely blank as if he had been punched hard.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally looked at Jiang Shuyin. "You weren't pregnant with just a daughter back then, but boy-girl twins?"
Since he already knew about Little Sweet Orange's existence, Jiang Shuyin naturally wouldn't hide Little Yiyi's existence from him.
She nodded. "However, Little Yiyi's personality is different from Little Sweet Orange's. If you want to acknowledge him, it won't be that easy. I explained to him why you haven't been around these past few years, but he doesn't seem to want to listen."
Little Yiyi was mature for his age and had a mind very much of his own.
Sometimes when she had a different opinion from his, he wouldn't listen to her.
Lu Yan stretched out his long arm toward Jiang Shuyin. "Is this real? I suddenly have a son and a daughter? Jiang Shuyin, pinch me hard!"
Jiang Shuyin looked at him with a complex expression. "No need to pinch. It's real. You're not dreaming."
The corners of Lu Yan's thin, cold lips curled upward uncontrollably.
He was actually the daddy of boy-girl twins!
Back then, not only did she not abort the child, but she also gave birth to a pair of twins.
Facing a little face that looked exactly like his every day, not only did she not hate it, but she treated him like a treasure. Could it be that deep down, she didn't loathe and resent him as much as he imagined?
Jiang Shuyin didn't know what Lu Yan was imagining in his head. She took out an agreement she had prepared last night. "Take a look at this. If you have no objections, sign it!"
The agreement basically stated that he couldn't fight her for custody, and she had no right to stop him from visiting the children.
They would each fulfill their responsibilities and obligations as parents.
Lu Yan didn't even glance at the agreement. Suddenly, he made a move that she completely did not expect.
