Because I simply love you

Chapter 376: They look like a family

The next day, Jinhai’s phone buzzed as he came out of the shower. He picked it up and saw that it was Jianyu.

“Jianyu.”

“Bro. We saw Tang Ning and Tang Feng in the mall.”

Jinhai paused, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.

“When?”

“Yesterday when I was –”

Then there was a beat of silence. Jinhai waited.

“…when I was shopping with Serena. She saw them looking at us. She wasn’t sure, so I checked the CCTV.”

Jinhai raised his brow.

Did he go shopping with Serena? Is his heart wavering towards her?

But somewhere in his heart, he felt a little relieved. He knew he had wronged Jianyu but still, as his brother, he wanted to see him happy, and he already knew he couldn’t be happy with anyone but Serena.

Jinhai could empathize with her because he was also in the same situation as her. If Jianyu took this first step with her, then he was happy for him.

“I see. How was shopping with her?”

On the other side, Jianyu said nothing for a moment. “Don’t overthink, bro. I still hate her. She forced me.”

Jinhai blinked his eyes. He was curious.

What did she do that she could force him to go shopping with her without his will?

But Jianyu’s tone didn’t sound too harsh.

Something is changing inside him…even if just a little bit.

Jinhai didn’t pry further.

“What about the CCTV?” He came back to the original topic.

Jianyu snapped out. “Yeah, I saw the footage. They had covered their faces with masks, but I could still recognize them. After all, we have known them since childhood.”

“Hm. Did you get their location where they were last seen?”

“They exited the mall through the north gate at the back. I saw them stepping inside a car, but the car wasn’t in full view. We cannot see the number plate in the footage. But I am checking on it.”

“Do it. We have to find their backer. The car must belong to him.”

“On it, bro. Did you find anything about Moon Corps?”

“Xin is working on it. But the clients who ditched the deal on us, too, don’t know about the CEO.”

“That is strange. Did you have any deal where you competed against Moon Corps? Are they taking revenge?”

“It sure looks like that, but I don’t know the purpose of it. It could be business, or it could be personal. He has Underworld connections, which is why he can hide the Tangs.”

Jianyu thought about it. “Bro. Maybe it’s something related to the underworld too. I think you should look into the past. Perhaps he belongs to some family who we dealt with in…our ways, you know.”

“Hm.”

“Take care of Nana.”

“I know.”

Jianyu nodded. He paused and then asked, “Bro…”

“Hm?”

“How are things going with her?”

Jinhai’s chilly gaze softened as he thought about Nana.

“It’s…good. Not still quite there yet but not bad either.”

Jianyu understood. “I hope things get well between you two soon.”

Jinhai smiled. “And I hope things get well between you and her too.”

Jianyu’s mouth twitched. He didn’t comment.

“I have a call. Bye, bro. I will call you back when I find something.”

Jinhai chuckled.

Outside Liang’s villa in the distance, Serena was pacing back and forth, holding her tummy and carrying two paper bags in her hand.

She never got to meet Nana’s sons when they were discharged from the incubator, so she bought some gifts for them today. She wanted to meet them but didn’t know if the family would allow her.

She bit her lip. Then she saw a car enter from a distance.

Wait, that is Jianyu’s car.

Serena walked up to it and waved her hand.

Jianyu, who was busy looking at his phone, raised his head and saw Serena waving at him.

He widened his eyes.

What is she doing here?

“Stop the car.”

Serena came huffing a bit. Jianyu stepped out. He narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here?”

“I want to meet Liu Jian and Liu Nian. I bought some gifts for them but…”

He naturally understood the next. He shrugged. “I see.”

He ignored her and walked away.

“Wait!” Serena caught his arm.

“What?” he said coldly.

“Take me inside with you too. Please.”

Jianyu sneered. “And why should I do you a favor?”

Serena pursed her lips. “I want to meet Nana and her sons. It is only right to properly greet them now that everything is settled down. They are also out of the hospital.”

He snorted. “Talk to Nana, yourself.”

Just then, Nana came out in the garden for a walk, wheeling the stroller with her that had the twins inside.

She noticed them and was surprised. “Jianyu!”

She was even more shocked to know that Serena was with him.

Did they come together?

Serena’s face brightened. “Nana! Nana! I am here!”

“…”

Jianyu was speechless. “She can see you.”

They walked up to her.

Nana asked, “How are you here today?”

Jianyu sighed. “Well, I finished my work a little early. I had nothing better to do, so I thought of meeting my adorable nephews,” he smiled at Jian and Nian as he bent down and pinched their cheeks.

“abooooo…” The twins grinned at him and flailed their chubby hands towards him.

Nana smiled. “Good that you came. I was feeling bored too sitting in the villa the whole day.”

Her gaze shifted at Serena, who was nervously fidgeting with her the bags. “I wanted to meet them too. I bought some gifts for them!”

She handed the paper bags.

“Can I stay here too? Please?” she seemed earnest and hopeful.

Nana peeked at Jianyu, who seemed unbothered. She took the gift bags and said, “Sure.”

Jianyu’s brow slightly twitched.

Serena felt relieved. “Thank you!”

“Boooooooo….”

The twins looked like they wanted to be held.

Jianyu laughed and took Jian in his arm. Nian grumbled as he was left alone. His eyes teared up.

“oooooh….”

Serena smiled at him and said, “Aww don’t cry, baby.”

She tickled him, but Nian still looked grumpy.

Nana slowly asked Serena, “Why don’t you hold him?”

Serena widened her eyes. She looked at Nana, dumbfounded. “I-I can?”

Nana silently nodded.

Serena felt a surge of excitement rush inside her. She always wished to hold them since she saw them in the hospital, but she knew that perhaps she would be able to do that.

Serena looked at Nian, who seemed eager for her to take him in her arms.

“baaaaaa…baaaa…”

Serena slowly lifted him from the stroller and adjusted him in her arms.

Nian, too, clung onto her chest and stared at her with his big, black orbs. His lips curved into a sweet smile.

Suddenly, tears pooled in her eyes.

Nana looked at them together, holding the babies with them, and couldn’t help but think,

‘They look like a family…’
