Serena’s heart beat as if it would jump out of her chest.
Chen villa with Jianyu? Is he taking me with him?
“Serena? What are you thinking?” Jianyu asked.
Jianyu had actually forgotten about the contract altogether in this whole mess. Not like he wouldn’t have carried it out either even if he had remembered it. But when he saw Serena’s pale and almost lifeless state and then he was forced to choose between her and Zixin, he had already forgotten all about the contract at that time.
Even if they had lost Zixin, Jianyu would have still taken Serena to live with him in the Chen villa. That’s why he still didn’t get the context as to why Serena was finding it so unbelievable.
Serena wanted to ask him about the contract, but somehow, she didn’t get the courage.
What if he changed his mind?
So, for that moment, she became selfish and prayed that he wouldn’t remember.
Huo Xiao Fan noticed her nervousness, and when she thought about it, she finally realized her point. She wanted to say that she didn’t need to worry because Jianyu and the Huo family had already talked about it.
It was just after the day Zixin was born.
“Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo. If you don’t mind, then I would like to take Serena and our child to Chen villa to live with me.”
They were shocked.
Just like Serena, Huo Xiao Fan also remembered about the contract and wondered about it.
Huo Shen grimly asked, “Are you sure? I appreciate your gesture, but you…you might still resent her for what she did to you. I know you have suffered because of her and call me a selfish father, but I don’t want Serena to suffer anymore. She is already quite down about…” He stopped.
Liwei said, “I am just as selfish as Dad. If you cannot love her or would have arguments or fights, then Serena should stay with us.”
Jianyu understood. It was about how she couldn’t become a mother again.
He said, “I assure you that it isn’t going to be like that. Naturally, we will take care of her. I have already talked to Mom and Dad about it.”
Huo Shen glanced at Huo Xiao Fan. “Xiao Fan, what do you think?”
She nodded. “I trust him. If he says that he will take care of her, then I believe him. And we know that Zhilan’s happiness also lies in Jianyu. If she can go back with him, then that would be her biggest joy.”
Liwei also agreed.
They nodded. “Alright.” Huo Shen got up and smiled. “Please take care of my daughter. Don’t let her think about her condition.”
Jianyu smiled. “I already know that, Mr. Huo.”
At present, Huo Xiao Fan sighed. She decided to talk to her about it later.
“Zhilan, of course, you are going back with him.” She smiled.
Serena was still puzzled, but she let it go for now.
“Okay…”
Her heart inwardly jumped in joy.
Jianyu brought his hand forward. “Shall we go?”
*Bathump*
Am I supposed to hold his hand?
She nervously put her hand in his. Jianyu wrapped his fingers around hers and started to walk.
“Let’s go back home.”
Serena’s eyes turned sore. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t let herself.
She faintly nodded with a bright smile. “En…”

In his lavish bedroom, Pei Yuan was throwing every single thing he could get his hands on.
Just a few minutes ago, his assistant informed him that Nana was back in the Liu villa. It was just the thing he needed to snap.
“What the fuck! How is it possible? How can Nana agree to go back with that bastard! This cannot be! She must hate him by now. She must loathe him by now! Then why? Why did she return as if nothing has happened?”
Pei Yuan was sure that after the videotape, things would only worsen between them. Their marriage would fall to a dead end.
But now?
He picked up a glass and threw it on the floor.
“Damn! He must have done something. Liu Jinhai must have played a trick! He must have forced her to come back with him.”
Pei Yuan tried to calm himself down.
What would make Nana return with Jinhai even though she so strongly resented him? What would make her bend to his will?
Pei Yuan widened his eyes as a thought struck him.
Of course! Those twins! They are Nana’s weak points. Did he threaten her with them?
The more he thought about it, the more he seem convinced.
Pei Yuan dialed his assistant’s number. “Find out whether Liu Jinhai has recently drafted any papers regarding his children.”
He hung up.
If that is the case, then actually…doesn’t it make things easier for me? Pei Yuan smiled. If he has indeed threatened her with Jian and Nian, shouldn’t Nana hate him even more? That makes destroying him so easy now.
He narrowed his eyes.
But that doesn’t mean I won’t have my revenge. You forced my poor Nana to bend to your will.
Liu Jinhai. You will pay.

The dinner at the Liu villa was quite a feast because Nana and the twins returned after so long. Liu Chunhua had specially cooked the meal and prepared all the dishes.
“Did you like it, dear?” she gently asked.
Nana nodded. “Of course, Mom. It’s delicious. You cook the best food.”
She waved her hand. “Oof, don’t embarrass me. Now eat lots. You must be tired of eating bland hospital food for so many days.”
Grandma Liu pushed some meat into her plate. “Yes! Eat more meat, young lady! You need more protein. You need to increase your healthy weight. Look how thin you have become.”
Jing pouted. “Grandma, I have also become so thin.”
“You want a beating, Jing? You are not a child anymore. Eat yourself.”
“Sister-in-lawwwwwww! This world is so harsh. Only you love meeeeee…” He whined and hugged her.
Nana couldn’t help but laugh. Though she was against coming back with Jinhai, she did admit that she missed everyone here, especially the time during meals. Every time it was just a comic show.
From a distance, Jinhai’s lips curved into a warm smile as he watched in silence.
Nana was back, and everything seemed so normal now.
“Jinhai.” Liu Hai stood beside him.
“Hm?”
Liu Hai looked at Nana and then back at Jinhai. “Tell me the truth. Why did Nana agree to come back?”
