He said in low yet in understandable voice " I am really guilty."
There was really awkward silence in the room for a long time. The silence was broken by the sound of the front door opening.
"Mother..Father, we are home." Li Ri and Li Ruan said as they entered the house.
Tang Fian was looking a little pale as she listened to her mother-in-law. She remembered that day when she brought one year old twins childrens ; brother and sister with her in the Li house.
She can't even imagine what will happen if Li Ri and Li Ruan will find out that Li Cheng isn't their biological father.
Just as she was immersed in her thought, she heard her children's voice from outside. She hurriedly went outside and saw them taking off their shoes.
"Hurry get freshened up and come to eat snacks." Tang Fian said.
They nodded their head. Just as they were heading to their rooms, Li Ruan stopped. "What's wrong? " Tang Fian asked.
Li Ri also stopped and looked at Li Ruan curiously.
"Mother, Where is father?" Li Ruan asked. Tang Fian was actually afraid that if they will enter the room, they might find out the truth. Li Cheng and Su Yumi weren't in right mood to talk so they might spill out the truth.
" Your father is in his room and is busy. If you have anything to say, tell me. " Tang Fian said. Li Ruan shook his head : Actually it is no need. I was just asking." Then, he headed to his room. Li Ri also went to her room.
Tang Fian sighed in relief. ' That was close. What would have happened if they came without anyone knowing and heard all the things that the old woman said earlier..That can't be. The truth should never be out.' Tang Fian shook her head to clear her thoughts as she went to the kitchen.

In Li Cheng's room;
After Tang Fian was gone, There was still awkward atmosphere in the room. The person in most awkward position was Gong Xeng. He was silently standing beside Li Cheng.
Even though, Li Cheng and Gong Xeng knew eachother for a long time. But Gong Xeng was unaware of the truth.
