School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 464 - 465: So She Was Deluding Herself with Unrequited Love?

"Daddy, what does it mean to ’recognize one’s ancestors and return to the clan’?" the little girl asked with curiosity, fluttering her big eyes.

Jiang Yu gently patted his daughter’s little head and said, "It means a family staying together. Grandpa hopes to have dinner with you again next time."

"Oh!" The little girl’s smile was soft and cute, and she became even more excited, "I like having dinner with Grandpa and Grandma."

Jiang Yu’s expression softened a bit as well, but upon thinking of Shen Tan, he couldn’t help but caution her, "Don’t tell Mom."

"Can’t tell Mom?" the little girl’s bright, large eyes looked at him, puzzled.

"If we have dinner together and leave Mom alone, she will be unhappy."

"Then next time, let’s take Mom with us, so she won’t be unhappy," the child’s thoughts were always so simple.

"Okay!" Jiang Yu said, nodding with a smile.

No sooner had he spoken, than he saw Shen Tan opening the car door and getting out.

"Mom." The two little ones immediately ran towards her.

Shen Tan smiled and asked the two, "Did you enjoy your meal?"

"We did! Look, Mom, these are the gifts Grandpa and Grandma prepared for us." The two presented the gifts they received as if they were treasures.

"Put them in the car," said Shen Tan, patting each of the little ones on the head, and then turned to Jiang Yu, "I’ll take them back first."

"My car was taken by my assistant, would it be okay to ride back with you?" asked Jiang Yu.

Shen Tan looked at him suspiciously, then replied, "I’m afraid it’s not very convenient."

"No problem, then I’ll take a cab back," said Jiang Yu, not persisting, and he took out his phone to call for a ride.

Just then, Shen Ning, the little girl, tugged at Shen Tan’s sleeve, "Let Daddy ride back with us in our car!"

Looking at the little girl’s hopeful eyes, Shen Tan furrowed her brows but eventually agreed to Jiang Yu’s proposal to ride together.

Halfway through the ride, Jiang Yu suddenly asked to stop the car.

"Please wait for me a moment," he said, and then got out.

After a while, he came back holding a takeout box.

Shen Tan was inwardly surprised, could it be that he hadn’t eaten enough at dinner? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But since it was his business, she didn’t ask any further.

Upon arriving at their residence, Shen Tan parked the car, ready to take the two little ones upstairs.

Then Jiang Yu handed her the takeout box, "You probably haven’t had dinner yet, and being so late, you wouldn’t want to cook. I remember you used to like this."

"Did you buy this for me?"

Shen Tan looked at him skeptically and then coolly said, "You don’t need to do this." No matter what he did, it wouldn’t move her.

Jiang Yu had anticipated her reaction.

"You don’t need to feel burdened," he said, "I’m not doing this for myself. You’re just recovering, and it’s important to maintain a regular diet, especially since it was me who delayed your meal. Plus, you’ll be able to take better care of the children, and I just don’t want them to worry about you anymore."

So she was being overly sensitive?

"Thanks, but no thanks!" She could take care of herself. Regardless of his reasons for caring, she didn’t need it and wouldn’t accept it.

"Yanyan, Ningning, let’s go home!" said Shen Tan, then she withdrew her gaze, took one of the little ones by each hand, and walked towards the elevator ahead.

Jiang Yu watched the three figures in front, a shadow crossing his eyes, before finally taking a step forward after a long while.
