A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 254 Memories of a Past Life

After spending a pleasant evening with Tan Xiangchen, Liu Bao and Da Bao returned to the small villa together.

Li Yumei had been waiting in the living room for a long time.

Upon seeing the three of them enter the house, she immediately stood up, quickly stepped forward to greet them, and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Xiang Chen, you're back."

Then, she looked at Liubao and Dabao and said gently, "Babies, did you have fun?"

Li Yumei took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Tan Xiangchen, and in the past, Tan Xiangchen would definitely have responded coldly.

But tonight, he had something on his mind to tell Li Yumei, so his attitude was different from usual.

He gently instructed Liu Bao and Da Bao, "Children, go upstairs and rest first."

Liu Bao and Da Bao nodded obediently and went upstairs.

After the two children left, Tan Xiangchen turned to Li Yumei and asked with a serious expression, "Yumei, did you keep the children's belongings? I hope you can return them to them."

He paused, then emphasized, "They are just five or six-year-old children; they have no ability to escape at all."

When Li Yumei heard Tan Xiangchen speak to her, her smile grew even brighter, and she couldn't be happier.

Overjoyed, Li Yumei couldn't help but move closer to Tan Xiangchen, wanting to give him a hug.

Tan Xiangchen took a step back and said coldly, "Yu Mei, keep your distance, or I'll leave immediately."

Li Yumei was taken aback, then realized she had been too hasty. She pondered to herself that Tan Xiangchen was right; the children were still young and indeed had little ability to escape. Therefore, she decided to follow Tan Xiangchen's advice and return the children's belongings.

She comforted herself, "Anyway, they can't run away. It's not too late to let them leave after Brother Xiang Chen recovers."

At the same time, she also wanted to create an image of a pure and obedient girl in front of Tan Xiangchen, so as to form a stark contrast with her sister.

Li Yumei nodded and agreed, "Okay, Brother Xiangchen, I'll return the things to the children right away."

Upon hearing Li Yumei's reply, Tan Xiangchen's expression gradually softened.

He looked at Li Yumei and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Yumei, I'm really happy to see the children. After all these years, I never thought I'd have the chance to spend time with them again."

This was the first time Tan Xiangchen had shared his feelings with Li Yumei, and he had said so much.

After Tan Xiangchen finished speaking, he turned and walked upstairs, leaving Li Yumei standing alone downstairs.

Li Yumei watched Tan Xiangchen's retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Although Tan Xiangchen's face was disfigured by the fire and his heart seemed to have died, in her heart, Tan Xiangchen was still the handsome and extraordinary Tan Xiangchen who had captivated her.

Just then, Xiao Hei hurriedly entered the room and reported to Li Yumei: "Sister Mei, those two children, Liu Bao and Da Bao, have been walking and stargazing in the garden, having a great time. Their playful nature has been fully exposed."

Upon hearing this, Li Yumei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile, and she said, "It seems they're having too much fun and don't want to come back."

She thought to herself, "This is good. The children are having fun, and Tan Xiangchen will feel better too."

After some consideration, Li Yumei decided to return Liubao and Dabao's bags to them.

She felt that the children were just playful kids and there was nothing to worry about, so she was no longer overly vigilant about their actions.

Upon hearing Li Yumei's decision, Xiao Hei's expression changed slightly, and he quickly reminded her, "Sister Mei, you have to think this through. Those two children have cell phones and tablets in their bags. What if they use these things to contact the outside world if we give them back?"

A hint of worry flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes; he knew this could pose a potential risk to Li Yumei's plan.

Li Yumei smiled dismissively and said, "Xiao Hei, don't worry about it. Have you forgotten where we are? There's no signal here at all. Even if they have cell phones and tablets, they can't contact the outside world."

Xiao Hei suddenly understood. It turned out that Li Yumei had already considered this; no wonder she was so confident in returning the things to the children.

As Li Yumei spoke, her eyes gradually became unfocused, and she drifted into memories.

She thought of her sister's situation, and a sense of unease welled up inside her. She worried that Tan Xiangchen would be drawn to her sister's story and leave her.

She was especially worried about her sister's condition after she got sick, and she was afraid that Tan Xiangchen would not be able to bear to see her sister suffer after finding out, and would change his attitude towards her.

These worries made Li Yumei's face darken and her mood worsen.

Xiao Hei wanted to say something more, but Li Yumei waved her hand impatiently and said, "Xiao Hei, stop nagging here. Go and do what I asked you to do, and don't bother me anymore."

Li Yumei completely ignored Xiao Hei's concerns and reminders. She firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with her plan and insisted on doing things her way.

……

After dinner, Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue returned to their room on the second floor hand in hand.

The room is located in a courtyard house, surrounded by a quiet and peaceful atmosphere that makes people feel relaxed.

As soon as Su Yingxue entered the room, she went straight to the window and gently pushed open the wooden window.

The starry sky outside was dazzling, with countless stars twinkling, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Su Yingxue's eyes shone brightly under the starlight.

Tan Zhengchu walked behind her, gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Yingxue, stop thinking about the children and relax." He didn't want Su Yingxue to be constantly preoccupied with worrying about her sons' safety.

Su Yingxue leaned against Tan Zhengchu's chest, gazing at the starry sky, and whispered, "Zhengchu, I feel like I've been here before. It's a strange feeling. Maybe it's in a dream, or maybe it's a memory from a past life."

Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly and joked, "Maybe this is destiny, giving you a wonderful connection with this place."

The two embraced each other, quietly admiring the starry sky together.

After a while, Tan Zhengchu gently reminded Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, you've been traveling all day, you must be exhausted. Go wash up and go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Su Yingxue nodded and replied, "Okay." Then she turned and walked into the bathroom.

Seeing that Su Yingxue had gone to wash up, Tan Zhengchu left the room and went to Li Yuzhu's room.

He walked to the door, knocked gently, and after hearing a "come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

Li Yuzhu was standing by the window when she saw Tan Zhengchu come in, and a smile appeared on her face.

Tan Zhengchu noticed that Li Yuzhu seemed to be in a good mood, as if she had let go of the past.

Tan Zhengchu walked to the window and stood there with Li Yuzhu to admire the stars.

Li Yuzhu exclaimed, "The starry sky here is so beautiful, just like when your father was alive. He also loved to look at the stars."
