Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Ji's Building.

The man leaned back in the boss's chair, took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled smoke rings, and tapped the table with his slender fingers.

Each gesture struck Xu Mingkai's heart. Having followed Ji Hancheng for a long time, he knew very well that this action and expression meant that something was about to happen.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. The man stubbed out his cigarette, tore off his tie, and threw it on the table. "Investigate whether that boy is Su Yu's child."

Xu Mingkai nearly dropped the cup in his hand, spilling water everywhere. "Young Master Ji, you wouldn't...!"

They don't think it's the child of the young mistress and the young master of the Su family, do they? If so, wouldn't this storm be brewing?

The man said impatiently, "Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking so much nonsense."

"Okay, sure." After receiving the order, Xu Mingkai left the office and instructed his secretary outside the door, "Have the cleaning lady mop the floor inside."

The closing time at the Capital Hospital.

Eager to go home, Tang Junyao changed her clothes early and prepared to leave work. Just as she stepped out of the consultation room, she heard, "Dr. Tang is off work."

"Yeah, I'm off work."

Nurse: "Dr. Tang, you are amazing. You just got back and you performed such a difficult surgery. You are so talented. Now you are a well-known top doctor in our neurosurgery department."

Yes, we encountered a difficult patient today, and everyone was afraid of getting into trouble. The head doctor had no choice but to let Tang Junyao handle it. Fortunately, we had encountered this situation before at Lancheng, and she resolved it quickly.

This surgery has made him famous again.

What Tang Junyao didn't reveal was that she was a member of the Lan family. While in Lan City, her uncle had arranged for many senior doctors to mentor her, essentially giving her private lessons. Therefore, she naturally learned a little more skills and knowledge than the others who went abroad with her.

She's not a pretentious person; she knows exactly what she wants and wouldn't be foolish enough to push away opportunities to improve herself.

You either look up to others or look down on them, and she chose the latter.

She smiled at the nurse, not intending to continue the conversation, "I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw Su Xue already waiting there.

"Why are you out so early?"

"It's not peak delivery season at the hospital. The OB and Gynecology department isn't usually packed at this time of year. It's an age-old rule in Beijing hospitals. Why are you in such a low mood after that nurse praised you?" I saw my best friend being praised from afar, standing at the door.

Tang Junyao said indifferently, "There's nothing to talk about. If you really talk to her about today's surgery, people will be talking about you showing off your skills tomorrow. Just do your job properly. People's hearts are unpredictable. Do you know what she's really thinking?"

"That's true. I haven't been back for two years. There are a lot of intern nurses at the hospital. I don't know any of them, but they are all very enthusiastic. I've been called Dr. Su all day today, and I'm really not used to it."

Tang Junyao showed little interest in the question. "Same here. Should we pick up Xiaocao and bring her to my house? Xiaocao wasn't here yesterday, and Xiaoyouzi cried until midnight. All the lessons we've taught a man not to shed tears easily have been for nothing. She cried all the tears she had last year in one night."

"Haha, really? See? Little Yuzu still cares about Little Strawberry. You'd better get ready, Grandma Tang."

Tang Junyao: "............" Hopeless.

After laughing for a while, Su Xue shut up after receiving a cold glare from her best friend. "Okay, okay, I'm not laughing anymore. We're not going today. How about we go out and have fun together on the weekend? My mom is so focused on Xiaocaozi right now, spoiling her rotten. She doesn't have time to tease me."

Tang Junyao felt this was both a good thing and a bad thing. If the truth came out, it would be fine if Su's mother was good at accepting it, but if she was not, it might cause some trouble. "You have to be mentally prepared, take it step by step, and don't be too hasty or it will backfire."

"Okay, I'll tell my mom when I get back that you're busy since you just got back, but I'll pick up Little Strawberry on Saturday."

The two secretly planned their parting ways.

As soon as they entered Yixinyuan, Xiaoyouzi looked unhappy and ignored Tang Junyao.

Knowing her son's personality, she secretly asked, "Aunt Zhang, was Xiaoyouzi bullied today?"

"Miss, how did you know?" Aunt Zhang asked curiously, as she hadn't yet explained.

Tang Junyao slightly raised her chin, gesturing for Aunt Zhang to look at the little guy who was quietly playing with Lego.

Little Yuzi really likes cars, building blocks, and Lego. Tang Junyao bought some loose Lego pieces that could be assembled however she wanted.

Aunt Zhang turned to the side and saw the young master pouting and looking sullen. She laughed and said, "Haha, the young master was playing downstairs today and accidentally bumped into someone. I guess the man looked too fierce and ruffled his hair, so he's upset."

After hearing the explanation, I realized that this brat had a peculiar habit: strangers couldn't touch his hair or head, or he'd get angry if anyone did.

Thinking of this, Tang Junyao couldn't help but worry, "He didn't get angry with that stranger today, did he?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "No, she just patted the man's hand, probably to show her dislike and protest."

That's good.

After understanding what had happened, Tang Junyao slowly walked to her son's side, sat down next to him, and stretched out her hands to build blocks with him. "Lele's mom doesn't seem to know how to build this. Where should it be placed? Can you teach me? Is it here, or here?"

Tang Junyao deliberately put the building blocks in the wrong place. Xiaoyouzi couldn't stand it and angrily took the Lego from her hand and put it in the correct place.

She turned her face to the side, kept quiet, and pouted her little mouth.

"Grandma said you bumped into someone today. Did you apologize? But Grandma said you were very brave not to cry. Should Mom praise you for that?"

I don't know who the little guy inherited his personality from, he still doesn't speak or pay attention.

Tang Junyao found it amusing. "Okay, since you don't want to talk to Mom anymore, I'm so bored. What should I do? Should I go back to the hospital and continue working?"

The little guy was moved. He turned around, picked up the building blocks, and pointed to his hair with one hand, saying, "You touched my hair, I'm angry."

"Oh, so he touched your hair. How rude of him! Next time, tell him he can't touch other people's hair. Now, can you play with me, Mommy?"

Little Yuzi's long eyelashes fluttered, and her features resembled hers; she could be considered a miniature version of Tang Junyao. "Okay."

Tang Junyao began to tempt her, "Lele, Mommy is telling you, it was wrong of us to hit someone, we need to apologize first so we can tell them you were wrong. You need to apologize to me, okay?"

"Hmm." The concise reply reminded Tang Junyao of someone, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed. This guy's temper sometimes really seemed a bit like hers, so stubborn at such a young age.

Helplessly, I straightened the little guy's clothes and sighed inwardly. Genetics is truly a mysterious thing.

It's almost time to leave work.

Xu Mingkai knocked on the door, his hands trembling, and placed the documents on the table. "Young Master Ji, the details of the young mistress's delivery have been confirmed!"

Upon hearing the sound of someone signing documents, the man stopped what he was doing, took the file folder, and opened it.

He glanced at the documents, his face visibly darkening and turning cold. "September 20th?"

In the afternoon, he researched a lot about pregnancy, including the time of conception, the gestational age, and calculated the due date. Based on the time of intercourse, the delivery should not have been at this time; it was much later than expected.

Xu Mingkai said definitively, "This is the young mistress's information at Blue City Hospital. I have investigated it repeatedly."

The man gripped the documents tightly with his well-defined knuckles and slowly uttered a few words: "You can leave now!"

After Xu Mingkai left, the man stared intently at the date, looking at it over and over again, his eyes bloodshot.
