Kang Li confronts Luo Yanqing about his secrets, specifically regarding Luo Mingwei's departure and her mother's influence. Luo Yanqing finally reveals a past coercion by his ex-wife's family, which led him to agree to an unknown arrangement, and admits he didn't want to burden Kang Li. Despite this explanation, Kang Li is upset that Luo Mingwei has chosen to live with her birth mother, and Luo Yanqing expresses indifference, stating Ming Wei no longer belongs with their family. Later, Kang Li buys a new car, assuring her children that she will provide for them.

With a casual rub of his daughter’s head, Han Bin’s eyes were filled with satisfaction: "Daddy believes in our Qianqian."

Han Qian’s current words and sentiments, however, were solely to reassure him, preventing him from being pressured by her to approach the detested Feng Lu, the woman she despised.

Li Guochao and Wang Tao, classmates present, were taken aback as Han Bin and his daughter walked past. It wasn't until they were half a kilometer away that Li Guochao quietly asked Wang Tao, "Was that Han Qian’s dad?"

"Didn't you hear Han Qian call him dad?"

Wang Tao rolled his eyes. "Actually, back in elementary school, Han Qian once mentioned in class that Luo Minghan bore a striking resemblance to her father when he was younger. Later, she even showed us photos of her dad from that time, but I thought it was nothing. So many people in the world look alike, don't you think?"

"But Luo Minghan truly does resemble her dad!"

One male classmate mumbled.

"Wu Song, what exactly are you trying to imply?" Wang Tao questioned, frowning. "We're all classmates. If you start making unfounded assumptions and spreading rumors, how will you face Luo Minghan later?"

The classmate, identified as Wu Song, offered an embarrassed smile. "I'm not implying anything; I just find it quite remarkable that two unrelated individuals could look so similar."

"I hope that’s truly how you feel. Otherwise, if Luo Minghan discovers you're discussing his appearance behind his back, he'll certainly confront you!" Wang Tao cautioned Wu Song. "Luo Minghan’s parents are quite influential. His mother, in particular, is a renowned national athlete who secured multiple gold medals with the national team at international competitions last year. Her renown is immense!"

"I merely uttered one sentence; is it really necessary to frighten me like this?"

Wu Song grasped Wang Tao’s implication. Though they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, their comfortable family backgrounds equipped them with the understanding that fame often translated to extensive connections, including significant figures. Furthermore, Luo Minghan’s mother was indeed formidable, so there was no reason for him to needlessly provoke Luo Minghan.

Moreover, he had no existing conflicts with anyone, and his preceding remark was simply a casual observation without any ulterior motives.

The other male classmates, including Li Guochao, remained silent, refraining from adding to the conversation.

"Are you heading home or to the classroom?"

Seeing the lack of response, Wang Tao posed the question.

"I'm going home."

"Me too, going home."

"You guys go ahead; I'm just going to wander around the classroom area."

"Wait for me; I'll accompany you to the classroom."

Upon hearing some classmates declare they were returning home and others opting for the classroom, Wang Tao decided to head home. He walked alongside Li Guochao and Wu Song, the three linking arms and engaging in lighthearted conversation as they proceeded towards the bicycle shed.

"See you."

At the school entrance, Wang Tao mounted his bicycle, waved to Li Guochao and Wu Song, and then rode away.

In reality, this middle school was merely five bus stops away from the institute's compound, a rather short distance. Several bus routes connected the compound and the middle school, making bus travel quite convenient.

However, for students who owned bicycles and possessed the skill to ride them, cycling to school was a common choice.

Nonetheless, for the safety of the Min Rui siblings, Kang Li had not permitted them to cycle to school. Consequently, ever since the Min Rui trio began their middle school journey, they had consistently utilized the bus for their commutes between school and the compound.

Returning to the narrative, after Wang Tao bid farewell to Li Guochao and Wu Song, he cycled a short distance before his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Wu Song's observation about Ming Han's resemblance to Han Qian’s father.

Indeed, he too had been contemplating this matter, particularly after his mother had recently alluded to the unexpected "resurrection" of Professor Luo’s former wife. Wang Tao inexplicably sensed an underlying mystery, and at that precise moment, a thought surfaced involuntarily: Could they possibly be...

He quickly halted his train of thought, feeling a surge of annoyance and self-reproach. Moments prior, he had been righteously admonishing Wu Song for his GOSSIP, yet here he was, indulging in similar speculations himself?

To be clear, Wang Tao's unspoken pronoun "they" unambiguously referred to Ming Han and Han Bin.

As for his abruptly ceased, unfinished query, "Could they possibly be...", the implication was not difficult to decipher.

...

Following the registration of Min Rui, Kang Li’s family of four proceeded towards Shuimu University.

"Mom, Ming Han and I will stay here to settle in. We won't be accompanying you and Dad."

The modest two-story residence that had been previously allocated to Luo Yanqing by the university remained in good condition. The university consistently arranged for cleaning services periodically to prevent the accumulation of property management fees. Therefore, the scene confronting Kang Li and Luo Yanqing was precisely as it had been when they first moved in years ago.
