School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 448 - 449: Why Does He Think I Would Accept?

"Are you crazy?"

Shen Tan gritted her teeth, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at him, "Just because of the children, you want to marry me? Jiang Yu, you’re really ridiculous. What do you take me and the children for? I’m telling you, it’s impossible. You and I can never be together again."

She could accept a man’s change of heart and betrayal, but she couldn’t accept a man who had been deceiving her from the start.

From beginning to end, it was all a play directed by him.

And she was like a fool, manipulated by him.

And now he actually wanted to marry her, laughable, really laughable.

Why did he think she would accept?

"Jiang Yu, I can disregard our past, I might even forgive you, but I will never marry you, nor will I ever give you the two children."

After Shen Tan spoke, she directly pulled the two little ones back into the house and, in front of Jiang Yu, slammed the door shut.

Inside the house, the two little ones stared blankly at the emotionally uncontrollable Shen Tan.

After a long while, Shen Ning, the little girl, looked up and asked, "Mom, is he really Dad?"

"No, you heard wrong!" Shen Tan denied impulsively.

"Oh!" The little girl’s expression visibly fell.

Seeing this, Shen Tan felt a twinge of guilt in her heart, "I’m sorry, baby!"

The children weren’t at fault; she shouldn’t lie to them.

Shen Ning willingly stepped forward and hugged Shen Tan, saying, "It doesn’t matter, Mom. Brother and I will always be with you. Even if we don’t have a dad, it’s okay."

They were already in kindergarten and about to start elementary school, not completely clueless children.

They could understand the adults’ conversations.

She knew that he was their dad!

Although she didn’t know why her mom was mad at dad or why she wouldn’t acknowledge him, she was sure mom was right.

Shen Tan looked at her daughter and then at her son, her face expressing heartache and guilt, "Would you blame Mom? Other kids have dads, but you don’t?"

The little girl shook her head and crisply replied, "Having Mom is enough. Ningbao knows, it must be because Dad did something bad that upset Mom, and that’s why Mom won’t forgive him, right?"

"Baby, you’re so smart!"

Shen Tan stroked her daughter’s head and held her in her arms, then pulled Shen Yan, the little boy, over, and looked at her two children, saying, "If, I’m just saying if, you want to acknowledge Dad, Mom won’t oppose it. Do you want to acknowledge him?"

Since they already knew of each other’s existence, if she stubbornly resisted, the children might resent her one day.

It might be better to let them make their own choice.

If they chose to recognize him, even if she was reluctant, she would step back for the sake of the children. But if he wanted to take the two away, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

"Can we still stay with Mom if we acknowledge Dad?" the little girl asked, looking up.

"Of course, but, if Dad wants to take you away..."

"No, Ningbao wants to stay with Mom." The little girl immediately shook her head, her little hands clinging tightly around Shen Tan’s neck.

Shen Tan then looked toward her son.

"I only need Mom," Shen Yan, the little boy, said sternly.

Shen Tan’s heart relaxed, "Alright, Mom will not let anyone take Ningbao and Yanbao away."

As long as her children chose her, she feared nothing.
