My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Su Yan released his hands from Su Zhen’s face, a faint blush on his cheeks.

While wiping off Su Zhen’s sweat with a tissue, Yin Xiaojing said, "Director Wang, these two kids’ first kiss! They’re giving it to you. Prepare the kids mentally."

"Haha, I was just worried that the kids might be too shy, so I came over to give them a little guidance."

Su Yan turned his head away, took a sip from a bottle of mineral water, and then Director Wang approached him, saying, "Xiao Yan, you’ve been in the industry for six or seven years, but this is your first time filming a kiss scene. Actually, it’s barely a kiss scene. Just imagine it’s your little sister, and a light touch is enough. There’s no need to be nervous or tense."

Su Yan still stubbornly said, "No, I was just distracted."

"Alright, let’s take a five-minute break and try again. I believe you’ve got the making of a film emperor; this little thing definitely won’t stump you."

Yin Xiaojing, listening, walked over to him with a tissue, and smiling, said, "Do what you’ve always wanted to do, straightforwardly now. An’an and you get along so well, and she’s so young, she won’t mind. If you’re too concerned about it, she’ll have a harder time getting over this hurdle later."

Su Yan took the tissue and wiped off his sweat, pretending not to understand and asked, "What are you talking about, Sister Jing?"

Yin Xiaojing smiled: "An understanding without words, keep up the good work."

Others may not understand, but she’s been with them for five years; how could she not know this boy’s thoughts.

Five minutes later, they started filming the second take.

Pursuers closing in, the Prince looked at Keke with deep affection, helplessly and reluctantly kissing her on the lips.

It was supposed to be just a quick peck to count, but Su Yan lingered for two seconds before letting go, her lips soft, and her dark eyes shimmering with tears, staring at him unwaveringly.

He never thought that one day he would be able to kiss her like this; in his memories, the kisses were always with her eyes closed, him sneaking a quick peck like a thief, hastily moving away in fear of being caught by her.

After the kiss, Su Yan just stood there staring at her blankly, and Su Zhen, seeing that he wasn’t saying his lines, also spaced out.

"Cut." The people on set were laughing, and Director Wang said with a smile, "Xiao Yan, you forgot your lines, huh? Want to go for another take?"

Su Yan coughed lightly, masking his embarrassment and said softly, "I forgot my lines."

His face still bore his usual appearance of indifference, showing no sign of apology, he just walked over to Yin Xiaojing pretending to check the script and said, "Let’s continue from where we left off."

Immediately after finishing, he got back into character, slowly releasing his hold on Su Zhen’s face, and commanded the Little General beside him: "Take her away, head south, there will be people waiting."

Keke was pulled along by the Little General, running and looking back, crying and calling, "Brother Xiao Chu!"

Hearing this tore at Su Yan’s heart. Pursuers arrived, and the Prince used his position as the crown prince to stop them.

That marked the end of their childhood scenes; what followed was the story of the grown-up Prince and Keke years later.

That also marked the end of Su Yan and Su Zhen’s shooting in the country.

To celebrate for the children, and because they were leaving the next day, Shen Hanxiu still splurged and prepared a banquet for them.

The TV series hadn’t been aired yet, and Shen Hanxiu hadn’t seen the scene where his daughter was taken advantage of, so he was still being polite to Su Yan for now.

In the afternoon, they went to Wei Lan’s home to invite them out to dinner, and upon entering, they saw Dingding and Dangdang lying motionless by the door; the golden retriever had grown quite large. It was only after Su Nian and the others got closer that they realized Ke Ning was lying on a small pillow nestled beside Ding Ding Dang Dang, lying on her side with her arm around the golden retriever, while Dingding lay lazily by her legs under the covers.

Bathed in the orange glow of the setting sun, the scene looked very warm and comforting.

"Ke Ning, where’s your mom?"

Su Nian walked over to ask. Ke Ning’s tiny motions were visible, but she didn’t reply. Although they all knew Ke Ning was quiet, she usually answered when asked a question.

Curiosity led him closer, and only then he saw the little one with reddened eyes and nose, looking like she had been crying sadly, with even Dingding and Dangdang drooping their heads, sharing in their little owner’s sorrow.

"What’s wrong, Ke Ning?" asked Su Nian, and Ke Ning’s tears fell with even greater grievance.

Wei Lan came downstairs upon hearing the commotion, "Sister Niannian, why have you come?"

"Sister Lanlan!" Su Zhen sweetly called out upon seeing her.

Wei Lan patted Su Zhen’s head, glanced at her daughter curled up on the carpet, and let out a soft sigh, "When we went out this afternoon, she nearly got hit by a car crossing the street. Her dad was anxious and scolded her. She’s not used to being scolded, so she’s been crying all afternoon."

"The child was already frightened, and then you scold her; no wonder she feels wronged," Su Nian said, squatting down to hug Ke Ning.

"Her dad has taught her several times, but she still dashes around heedlessly."

Su Nian held her close and soothed her: "It’s alright, Ke Ning, don’t cry. We’re going to eat something delicious."

Ke Ning wiped away her tears, her body still trembling slightly.

Seeing Yang Zichen come down from upstairs, she swiftly turned her body towards him.

Yang Zichen’s face was stern as he glared at her, his heart aching for the child who had cried so long, but he knew if he didn’t make an impression on her, she wouldn’t learn her lesson.

Su Nian thought Ke Ning was still mad at her dad, but the moment Yang Zichen came down, Ke Ning reached out her arms to him with a choked voice saying, "...hug."

Yang Zichen glared at her, his heart softened seeing her pitiful state, walked over, and picked her up in his arms, sternly asking, "Will you act recklessly again next time?"

"No..." She sobbed, "I’ll behave..."

Crying had made her speech unclear. Yang Zichen reached out to wipe the tears from her face, "No more crying."

Ke Ning immediately stopped sobbing, raised her chubby hands to wipe her eyes, looking somewhat pitiful. She gazed at Yang Zichen, with only occasional sobs breaking through.

Seeing this scene, Su Nian said to Wei Lan, "I always thought both of you were so gentle; I wondered who played the bad guy at home. Seems like it’s a strict father and a loving mother."

Wei Lan smiled, unable to bear scolding her daughter seeing her cry. How could she act strict?

But it was different at Su Nian’s house, Shen Han doted on the child incessantly, with only her occasionally playing the bad guy and scolding.

"Let’s go out to eat, Yanyan and the others are already there."
