After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Pei Hansheng carried Xiaobao into the car.

Perhaps it's out of love for the house that I love its inhabitants, or perhaps the little guy is just so sensible that it breaks my heart.

The man asked him, "Xiao Bao, do you like Grandma?"

Xiao Bao's big, grape-like eyes were bright and clear, revealing a hint of disappointment in his heart.

"Xiao Bao likes Grandma a bit, but Grandma doesn't like Mommy. Grandma doesn't seem to like Xiao Bao very much either."

"Then why are you still so close to Grandma?"

Pei Hansheng felt sorry for Qiao Wan and couldn't bear to see the child suffer.

"Because this is Daddy's Mommy. If someone disrespects Xiaobao's Mommy, Xiaobao will be very angry and sad."

A look of surprise flashed across Pei Hansheng's eyes. He stared at Xiaobao for a long time, as if he had just been taught a lesson.

"So, you deliberately tried to please Grandma so that Daddy wouldn't be angry or upset?"

Xiao Bao nodded, looked at Pei Hansheng, and asked somewhat hesitantly, "Daddy, did Xiao Bao do something wrong?"

Pei Hansheng's nose tingled with emotion as he rubbed the little guy's head: "Little Bao, you didn't do anything wrong, but Daddy hopes you can be a carefree child, not having to worry about anyone's feelings or try to please anyone. Can you do that?"

He has now found the reason why he can accept this child. This is the child raised by Qiao Wan, and he bears Qiao Wan's mark. When he sees the younger one, he thinks of the older one. He likes the older one, so he will not reject the younger one.

Xiao Bao seemed to understand, but not quite. He didn't yet understand what it meant to read someone's face or to fawn over someone.

I just subconsciously didn't want Grandma and Daddy to argue, and I didn't want the adults to be unhappy, so I tried to appease them in my own way.

Because that's how Mommy treats Xiaobao. Mommy is so gentle and has such a good temper. Xiaobao never argues with Mommy.

"Daddy, is Mommy trying to please you?"

Xiao Bao thought that "pleasing" meant "liking".

"Your mommy..."

Pei Hansheng's eyes darkened. The woman was extremely kind to him, but he felt that it wasn't flattery, but rather a mask she wore to achieve her goals.

That woman was strong and resilient at heart. On the surface, she was very feminine and soft-spoken, someone anyone could bully. She just didn't care. Once she turned her back on someone, she wouldn't look back and was more ruthless than anyone else.

Xiao Bao grabbed Pei Hansheng's hand: "Daddy, Mommy is trying to please you, so you should try to please Mommy too, okay?"

Pei Hansheng lowered his eyes and smiled gently: "Okay. But, you probably meant to say 'I like you,' right? Flattery isn't a good word, and you'll never need it in your life."

Xiao Bao was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Bao is only three years old, and can't read yet."

Pei Hansheng couldn't help but chuckle: "Let's go home and find your mommy."

"Uh-huh!"

After settling his son in, Pei Hansheng went around to the driver's seat, opened the door, and got in.

He glanced at Xiao Bao in the rearview mirror and a sudden pang of sadness welled up in his heart.

He thought of the child in Qiao Wan's belly, their child, which was gone before it was even formed. Fate was truly cruel, giving him hope only to destroy it with his own hands, leaving him powerless to fight back.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, a resolute glint flashing across his cold face.

As long as he drags on without getting a divorce, and as long as Qiao Wan still has a sliver of affection for him, there's still a chance.

The car started, its headlights piercing the night as it drove out of the Pei family's old residence.

The father and son arrived at Jinxiu Garden. Qiao Wan stayed at Shen Yingtang's house. Ever since Pei Hansheng bought the apartment she was renting, she had been determined to stay away.

Then the meaning of Pei Hansheng buying the house disappeared; what he wanted was not the house, but the people living in it.

Aunt Liu and the maid who delivered the meal met in the elevator.

"Young Master Pei, Xiao Wan was hungry tonight and ate most of a bowl of rice. She also finished all the medicinal food. She was really good."

Pei Hansheng held Xiaobao in his arms. The child was sleepy and fell asleep in his arms.

He nodded without saying anything, indicating that Aunt Liu could leave.

The man arrived at the door, but he had no key and couldn't unlock the door with his fingerprint, so he rang the doorbell.

Nobody's driving it.

He waited for a while, but nothing happened, and he started to panic.

She took out her phone, holding the child in one arm, and used the other to call Fu Yuanzhou.

What's the password to your fiancée's house?

Fu Yuanzhou's nonchalant voice came through the receiver: "Why are you asking this? Looking for Xiao Wan? She's on a date tonight."

Pei Hansheng's expression suddenly turned cold, his dark eyes sharp as a hawk's, radiating a murderous aura.

"You should have met Xu Ze before; he's an old acquaintance of mine from when I was at the Wen family's."

Pei Hansheng felt a surge of anger: "Fu Yuanzhou, are you fucking sick? Qiao Wan and I are not divorced yet, and she has a husband."

"Really? But I heard from Fu Miaona that you also met with Miss Suo tonight?"

Pei Hansheng wanted to punch someone: "I took my son there, and Qiao Wan went on a date with that kid alone. Is that the same thing?"

"You've really got some nerve, taking Xiaobao on a blind date with another woman?" Fu Yuanzhou shook his head helplessly. "Hansheng, how did you convince Xiaowan to go through with your nonsense?"

"She always listens to me."

At this point, Pei Hansheng felt a pang of nostalgia for the past.

Qiao Wan was obedient, acting as a little woman by his side. During the day, she would do whatever he wanted, and at night, she would satisfy his wicked desires. She never complained and always had a smiling face. She was so good to him that he thought she would never leave no matter what he did.

"Hansheng, since you've both chosen to meet new members of the opposite sex, I suggest you reduce your contact with them and stop bothering her."

"I suggest you offer fewer suggestions. Xiao Bao needs to go inside to sleep. Go ask your fiancée for the password."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? How old are you? Being willful is one thing, but bringing the child along is another."

Fu Yuanzhou knew the password and had gone to Shen Yingtang's house several times to retrieve things.

He informed Pei Hansheng, and the door opened.

Pei Hansheng went inside to find Qiao Wan without even taking off his shoes.

The TV in the living room was on, and Qiao Wan was asleep on the sofa. She was wearing a white knitted dress, the hem of which was a bit short, and because of her sleeping position, it didn't cover up anything at all.

The man's eyes looked red, and his mouth was dry.

Luckily it was him who came in; if it had been any other man, he would have killed him.

First, I carried Xiaobao to his crib. The little guy looked like he was about to wake up, so I patted his bottom a couple of times and he calmed down.

Hopefully, this guy sleeps soundly until dawn and doesn't wake up in the middle of the night.

Pei Hansheng closed the door and went to the living room.

Qiao Wan turned over, revealing her two long, slender, and straight legs, which were dazzlingly white under the light.

The man tugged at his collar, suppressing the restlessness within him, and walked over, bending down to pick the person up.

Qiao Wan frowned and let out a soft moan, which sounded unconscious to Pei Hansheng like she was being coquettish.

He had only met her a few days ago in the South China Sea, but he still missed her terribly.

But the man had made a mistake and dared not indulge himself rashly. He averted his gaze, keeping his eyes fixed on the bed in the bedroom.

Heading over there, I gently put Qiao Wan down.

Every time Qiao Wan finished drinking the nourishing soup, she felt hot and tired. She would pull at her collar to cool down, and a magnificent view would come into Pei Hansheng's view.

He was going crazy. He looked down, removed her hand, and held her soft, warm hand in his own.

"What am I going to do with you, huh? Qiao Wan, what do you think we should do next?"

They agreed to be strangers and go out and meet other people, which wasn't difficult for them, but he felt absolutely no physical attraction to other people.
