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

Chapter 262 Children should not interfere in their parents' affairs.

Through his previous conversations with Liu Bao and Da Bao, Tan Zhengchu learned a lot about Tan Xiangchen.

He knew that Tan Xiangchen always missed his mother, Li Yuzhu, and also cared about his two brothers.

Tan Zhengchu secretly deduced that Tan Xiangchen's ability to recognize the two children as resembling him at a glance was enough to show that he had been missing them and knew their appearance very well.

Looking at Tan Zhengfan, whose face was full of confusion and sadness, Tan Zhengchu reached out and gently patted his shoulder, saying earnestly, "Zhengfan, this is a matter between parents, and we as children shouldn't interfere. There must be many hardships between them that we don't know about."

Tan Zhengchu paused, then emphasized firmly, "No matter what happens, Tan Xiangchen will always be our father, and Li Yuzhu will always be our mother. This will never change."

Tan Zhengfan nodded slightly after hearing Tan Zhengchu's words, indicating that he accepted his advice.

To change the subject, Tan Zhengfan suggested, "Brother, Mom, let's go downstairs for dinner. Sister-in-law and the two kids are waiting."

Upon hearing Tan Zhengfan's words, Li Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled, saying, "Yes, we can't let the children go hungry."

So, Li Yuzhu, Tan Zhengchu, and Tan Zhengfan went downstairs together to prepare for dinner.

At the dining table, Liubao was eating when he suddenly said, "Grandpa can make breakfast too, and it tastes exactly the same as Grandma's."

Upon hearing Liu Bao's words, a glint of excitement flashed in Li Yuzhu's eyes. Her thoughts instantly drifted back to the past, recalling how Tan Xiangchen used to only make breakfast for her, and how he always prepared it meticulously according to her tastes.

However, as she recalled those wonderful times, Li Yuzhu's gaze grew increasingly somber. She lowered her head and silently ate her dinner, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Su Yingxue had been paying close attention to Li Yuzhu's reaction. She saw that Liu Bao's words had an impact on Li Yuzhu, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that children actually understand everything.

Tan Zhengchu was very considerate at the dinner table. He put a piece of food on Su Yingxue's plate and said with a smile, "Yingxue, try these. They are all local specialties."

Then, Tan Zhengchu said earnestly, "If you don't want to go back, I can stay here with you."

Hearing Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue's conversation, Li Yuzhu looked up at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh, "The scenery here is really beautiful. If Tan Xiangchen and I could live here for twenty years, how wonderful that would be."

Just then, the third brother and Lin Quan walked into the restaurant, looking travel-worn.

As soon as the third brother came in, he went straight to the dining table, sat down, grabbed his chopsticks, and began to wolf down his food, saying as he ate, "I'm starving, I have to eat something right away."

Lin Quan sat down to the side and explained, "I had an operation to perform before and couldn't leave, so I couldn't come with Lao San and the others. I made a special trip here today."

Seeing Liu Bao and Da Bao sitting safely at the dining table, Lin Quan couldn't help but sigh and say, "You two little devils really got me into trouble. Your daddy Tan Zhengchu gave me a real dressing down."

Liu Bao and Da Bao were secretly delighted to hear this, realizing that their father was so concerned about them.

Liu Bao looked at Lin Quan and said earnestly, "Uncle Lin, thank you. If it weren't for you, Daddy wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Tan Zhengchu placed a piece of food on Lin Quan's plate, then solemnly warned, "Lin Quan, listen carefully, you are not allowed to keep anything from me for them anymore."

Lin Quan nodded hurriedly, looking terrified, and said, "I won't dare to do it again, I'll never dare to do it again."

The third brother had finished a bowl of rice and wasn't as hungry anymore, so his eating movements were no longer as rough as before. He chuckled and said to Tan Zhengchu, "Big brother, you don't know, Lin Quan wouldn't let me stop or eat on the way here so we could get here today. This is my first main meal of the day. I was away on a business trip yesterday for the three little buns' birthday, so I didn't know what happened."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue quickly put some food on her third son's plate and said, "No wonder you're so hungry, eat more. This is the first time I've ever seen you eat so carelessly."

The third brother was deeply moved by Su Yingxue's words.

But Su Yingxue continued with a smile, "I'm worried you'll get sick from hunger, and then your girlfriend, A Qian, will have to take care of you."

The third brother looked disappointed and said, "Sister-in-law, please take better care of me and treat me better in the future. Don't keep mentioning A-Qian."

Tan Zhengchu glared at the third brother and said, "Su Yingxue is my woman. Her kindness is only for me, not for you." After saying that, he pinched Su Yingxue's cheek and said, "Yingxue, you should stay away from the third brother in the future."

Su Yingxue nodded obediently.

The third brother sighed helplessly, pretended not to hear, and kept eating with his head down.

The third brother suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm going to bring my woman, A-Qian, out with me from now on. I don't want to be eating your dog food every day."

Tan Zhengchu said with a smile, "Sure, I'm just afraid you'll find it too much trouble and won't want to bring her along."

After the third brother arrived, the atmosphere at the table immediately became lively, with everyone chatting and laughing, creating a very cheerful atmosphere.

Tan Zhengchu, Su Yingxue, and the others were enjoying their drinks and conversation, their laughter filling the air.

Li Yuzhu sat to the side, watching the lively scene, but felt somewhat tired.

So she said softly, "You guys continue chatting, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Back in her room, Li Yuzhu sat by the window and gazed at the starry sky. The stars twinkled, a dreamlike spectacle, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This starry sky is so beautiful!"

Li Yuzhu tightened her shawl, her thoughts drifting back to the past. She remembered Tan Xiangchen saying that he wanted to live with her in a place with the most stars.

"Perhaps my sister Li Yumei has fulfilled his wish," Li Yuzhu thought to herself. "He must be very happy looking at the starry sky like this every day."

Li Yuzhu sat alone by the window until late at night before going to bed.

An hour after the lights in the room were turned off, the door suddenly opened slowly.

A tall figure slowly moved in. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Tan Xiangchen who had quietly entered the room.

Tan Xiangchen's steps were so light they were almost silent. His eyes were fixed on the sleeping Li Yuzhu, his gaze full of affection. He sighed softly, "You are still as beautiful as you were back then."

Tan Xiangchen walked gently to the bedside, his deep eyes fixed on Li Yuzhu's face.

He slowly reached out and gently touched Li Yuzhu's face, murmuring to himself, "You haven't changed at all, but I have."
