Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets

Chapter 186

“Really?”

Upon hearing Zhou Yi’s words, the two little ones were practically buzzing with excitement.

Girls are naturally fond of romance, so Mumu immediately tugged on her daddy’s hand and spoke in a sweet, milky voice, “I want to see!”

Her little eyes were fixed on him, and she shook his hand playfully as if acting spoiled.

How could Di Shijing possibly harden his heart against that?

Seeing the excitement in his precious daughter’s eyes and hearing her take the initiative to ask, he naturally agreed.

“Then let’s go see it.”

Mumu was beaming with joy. She grabbed her brother with one hand and Nan Zhiyi with the other, leading them forward at a quick pace.

Soon, Di Shijing led them up a skyscraper by the Riverside.

This skyscraper was incredibly tall, spanning dozens of floors. It was the most popular landmark in the Riverside area, and since it was a commercial building, every floor had a different style.

Di Shijing and the group went to a cafe located on the fiftieth floor.

This place featured floor-to-ceiling windows that faced the river, making it the perfect vantage point to watch the fireworks.

After the group took their seats and the two little ones had just finished ordering their drinks, they heard a sharp whoosh.

Then came a massive boom-bang!

Outside the window, a giant firework exploded, illuminating half the sky.

“It’s so pretty!” the two little ones exclaimed in surprise, pressing themselves against the glass.

Nan Zhiyi followed the trajectory of the fireworks, feeling a hint of regret in her heart.

She hadn’t been able to bring Hengheng and Wanwan along this time. Those two little ones had even fewer opportunities to see scenes like this than Xianxian and Mumu. If they were here, they would probably be even more excited…

Di Shijing clearly didn’t have the leisure or interest for such things. He only gave the display a cursory glance, his gaze instead drawn to the woman beside him.

Under the lights, the contours of Nan Zhiyi’s face were reflected-gentle and bright. the shimmering light of the fireworks flickered in the depths of her soft eyes.

Nan Zhiyi didn’t notice anyone was watching her; she was lost in thought as she stared at the display outside.

The Fireworks Festival lasted for half an hour before it ended, leaving the two little ones wanting more.

“It would be great if we could see it again next time,” Xianxian lamented from the side.

Di Shijing could easily see through the boy’s thoughts. However, seeing that his precious daughter also had an expectant look on her face, he spoke up. “I’ll bring you here again next time.”

“Really?” Xianxian looked at Di Shijing with a hint of disbelief.

“Mhm,” Di Shijing promised.

Joyful smiles immediately broke out on the faces of the two little ones.

After finishing their drinks, it was already past eight in the evening. Considering the children, the two adults prepared to head back.

When they headed downstairs, it was still very crowded and a bit cramped. Worried about getting separated from the children, Nan Zhiyi picked Mumu up in her arms. Di Shijing noticed this and scooped Xianxian up as well.

With each of them carrying one child, Xianxian thought to himself: Daddy is actually being quite considerate.

However, in such a crowd, it was easy for people to get pushed around.

As Nan Zhiyi was walking, someone bumped into her. Carrying the child, she suddenly lost her balance and nearly toppled forward.

Di Shijing was quick-witted and reached out, catching her and pulling her close.

Due to the momentum, Nan Zhiyi slammed right into his chest.

“Are you alright?” Di Shijing’s deep voice asked near her ear.

Nan Zhiyi hurriedly backed out of his arms. “I’m… I’m fine.”

She held Mumu tightly. The cool, cedar scent from the man seemed to linger at the tip of her nose, and her ears felt inexplicably hot.

“Be careful,” Di Shijing said. His large hand left her waist but moved to her arm, seemingly supporting her.

Nan Zhiyi was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she heard the man speak again: “Don’t just stand there. Keep moving.”
“Oh.”

Nan Zhiyi responded and quickly quickened her pace.

However, the spot where he had supported her felt like it was burning…

After Di Shijing dropped Nan Zhiyi back at Luyuan, he took the two little ones back to Dijinglan Mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw his mother pacing the living room with her arms crossed, looking aggressive.

His father, Di Yuntian, was also there, sitting on the sofa with a cold and majestic expression.

Di Shijing knit his brows slightly as he looked at Song Liqin in the hall. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Hearing this, Song Liqin’s temper flared instantly. The frustration she had suppressed all evening finally exploded.

“Why should I leave? If I leave, are you going to bring that woman back here?”

Song Liqin was clearly referring to Nan Zhiyi.

“Uncle Fu, take Hengheng and Wanwan upstairs to rest.”

Di Shijing didn’t want the children to hear this, so he called the butler over to take them away first.

Xianxian and Mumu cooperated obediently.

They didn’t want to deal with this grandmother of theirs at all.

Once the children were upstairs, Di Shijing took a seat and looked coldly at Song Liqin.

“Haven’t I said it before? You don’t need to interfere in my affairs. You come here to make a scene every time-is there no end to this?”

Seeing her son’s attitude, Song Liqin was nearly dying of anger.

She roared, “What do you mean ‘no end to this’? I think you’ve lost your mind, being so infatuated with that woman Nan Zhiyi! Have you forgotten how heartless she was back then, abandoning her children?”

Her words triggered Di Shijing’s memories.

At the hospital, Nan Zhiyi had cared for the children with such meticulousness. Even without knowing they were her own, she had treated them so tenderly…

Di Shijing’s expression turned cold as he replied to Song Liqin, “I really don’t know about that. However, I remember very clearly how you went to great lengths to drive her away.”

Song Liqin’s eyes widened slightly as she questioned him in disbelief, “What do you mean by that?”

She gritted her teeth, staring at her son. “Are you blaming me now for making you two get a divorce back then?”

Di Shijing didn’t answer directly but asked instead, “Was it my idea for you to forge that infertility report?”

Song Liqin was choked by his words.

Di Shijing was gradually losing his initial patience with his mother. “I’ll tell you one last time. You don’t need to worry about my marriage or the children in the future. If you have the time, you’d be better off going back to your flower arrangements and afternoon tea, or taking better care of my father’s health.”

“As a wife, you haven’t fulfilled any of your responsibilities. As a mother and a grandmother, you haven’t reached a satisfactory level either! Reflect on yourself first.”

Song Liqin’s eyes were wide with shock.

She hadn’t expected that right after Old Master Di had finished lecturing her, her son would say the same thing. Her breathing became erratic as she asked, “So, you’re looking down on me as your mother now?”

Di Shijing didn’t respond.

His silent attitude was as good as confirming Song Liqin’s words.

“Fine, fine! Every single person in the Di Family looks down on me! First it was the Old Master, then your father, and now even my own son won’t acknowledge me as his mother! Fine, since that’s the case, I’ll just leave!”

Song Liqin began to cry from anger.

However, both the father and son before her remained unmoved. Filled with resentment, she turned and left.

This drama of crying and making a scene wasn’t the first time the father and son had witnessed it.

Watching her leave, Di Shijing’s brow furrowed even deeper as he remarked coldly, “Truly incorrigible!”
