Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

Wang Xiangyu ran away in anger after being angered by Pei Shizhou. Gu Yunting wanted to chase after her, but Pei Shizhou stopped her.

"Since you're here, don't leave. Stay and work!"

"Shizhou, you've gone too far. Xiangyu isn't like that. She's different from other girls."

Pei Shizhou saw Xia Yichu walk in from outside, too lazy to explain to Gu Yunting. He simply tossed the documents on the table to Gu Yunting and walked towards Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu, what brings you here?"

Xia Yichu, carrying a lunchbox, said, "I came to have lunch with you. Is he alright?"

When Wang Xiangyu went out just now, she saw Xia Yichu at the door, glared at Xia Yichu fiercely, and then left.

"It's okay, don't worry about him, let's go eat over on the sofa."

Pei Shizhou took the lunchbox from Xia Yichu, put his arm around her waist, and the two walked affectionately to the sofa.

Gu Yunting didn't even look up, focusing only on the document in his hand, his face growing darker with each reading. It turned out to be a report from Pei Shizhou, commissioned to investigate Wang Xiangyu, which clearly stated that Wang Xiangyu's meeting with Gu Yunting was a calculated scheme.

Wang Xiangyu worked part-time at a restaurant and often saw Gu Yunting there. Because Gu Yunting had an extraordinary air about him and always drove a car to eat there, she secretly took pictures of him and inquired about him from others.

After learning about his situation, Wang Xiangyu began to plan their encounter. She was clever and patient. Gu Yunting indeed treated her differently, but unfortunately, they encountered obstacles with Pei Shizhou.

"Wang Xiangyu, how dare you scheme against me."

Gu Yunting said angrily after reading it. Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu acted as if they hadn't heard him and continued eating.

"Shizhou, when did you find out about this?"

Gu Yunting walked over and questioned Pei Shizhou, asking if he had known all along and had been watching him make a fool of himself.

"Gu Yunting, you're stupid enough to have the nerve to question me. I have no interest in investigating Wang Xiangyu; that woman is clearly up to no good."

If Xia Yichu hadn't said she saw the two of them eating together at a hot pot restaurant, Pei Shizhou wouldn't have bothered to have anyone investigate Wang Xiangyu.

He never expected Gu Yunting to be so foolish this time, being completely fooled by a woman. If the company didn't need him, Pei Shizhou would have been happy to watch him make a fool of himself.

"I…"

Gu Yunting slumped on the sofa, dejected. He had finally found a confidant who understood him, only to find that it was all a calculated scheme by the other party.

"Alright, go home and rest today, and come to work tomorrow."

"Pei Shizhou, you heartless boss! I've been scammed, and instead of comforting me, you want me to come to work tomorrow."

Gu Yunting was even angrier than before. In the past two years, Pei Shizhou had spent half of his time being inseparable from Xia Yichu. If it weren't for Gu Yunting supporting him at the company, would Pei Shizhou have been so comfortable?

When something like this happened to him, Pei Shizhou didn't comfort him; instead, he just called him stupid.

"You're only being scammed because you're too idle. I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't want to work, go home and be with your wife and kids."

"I'll come to work tomorrow. That's the end of Wang Xiangyu's matter. Don't go looking for trouble with her."

At least Wang Xiangyu used to keep him company and chat with him about everything under the sun, which did bring him a lot of joy.

Gu Yunting never said or did anything to her that went beyond friendship. It would be a lie to say that Gu Yunting had no feelings for her; he did have some affection for Wang Xiangyu.

However, he hadn't fallen for her to the point of liking her, much less to the point of wanting to go against his family and divorce his wife to marry her.

"Whatever you want"

Pei Shizhou's nonchalant attitude left Gu Yunting breathless and unable to swallow his anger. He felt like a clown in front of Pei Shizhou, and Gu Yunting left with a dark expression.

"You've made Gu Yunting so angry, are you really alright?"

"It's okay, Xiao Chu. When Yun Ting comes to work tomorrow, I'll take you on a trip."

"This isn't a good idea! If Yunting knew what you were thinking, wouldn't he try to kill you with a knife?"

"It's okay, he can't beat me."

Pei Shizhou had long wanted to take Xia Yichu on a trip, but the child was still young and Xia Yichu was busy, so they hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet.

Now is perfect, the child is two years old, so we can leave him at home with Xia Guoan and the nanny. Yes, Pei Shizhou didn't plan to take the child with him; he wanted to travel alone with Xia Yichu.

"Okay, then let's prepare well. There's so much to prepare for raising a child."

Hearing Xia Yichu's words, Pei Shizhou felt a chill in his heart. He was already worried that Xia Yichu would bring the child with her.

No, he has to find a way to send the child away. The child is still young; he can take the child with him in two years.

Xia Yichu was completely oblivious to Pei Shizhou's expression; she was still discussing with him where they should go.

For the next few days, Pei Shizhou went to the company every day, as did Gu Yunting. Since that day, Wang Xiangyu never contacted Gu Yunting again, nor did she come to the company.

Pei Shizhou rushed home before dinner as usual, only to find an unexpected person there. Xu Shaoyang was at his house, playing with Pei Shizhou's son.

When Xu Shaoyang saw Pei Shizhou return home, he said smugly, "Come on, son, call me again and let me hear it."

Xu Shaoyang bought many toys for the child, and the child played with him for an entire afternoon. He kept teasing the child, making him call him "Dad."

After the two got to know each other better, the child actually started calling him "Dad," which made him incredibly happy.

"Daddy, Daddy."

Pei Shizhou glanced at him but didn't say anything, nor did he seem angry. It wasn't until the child saw Pei Shizhou return that he put down his toys, walked towards Pei Shizhou, and reached out his arms for a hug.

"Daddy, hug me."

Pei Shizhou picked up the child. Pei Shizhou had raised the child himself, and the father and son had a very good relationship.

"Xiao Heng, where's Mommy?"

The child's full name is Xia Qiheng, a name given by Xia Guoan, and neither Pei Shizhou nor Xia Yichu had any objections. Xia Qiheng looked around, as if searching for Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu went to her aunt's house and said she wouldn't be back for dinner that night."

Xia Guoan brought out a plate of food from the kitchen and said that Xia Yichu left after lunch, when the child was still sleeping. Xu Shaoyang had been here for so long, and Xia Yichu didn't even know.

Xia Guoan wanted to call Xia Yichu back, but Xu Shaoyang wouldn't let him; he spent the afternoon playing with the child.

"Since Xiao Chu isn't coming back for dinner, let's eat!"

Pei Shizhou showed no expression as he fed the child first. Xu Shaoyang also wanted to feed the child, so Pei Shizhou didn't stand on ceremony and gave the food to Xu Shaoyang to feed the child.

I also told Xu Shaoyang some things to keep in mind. As long as the child has something to eat, it doesn't matter who feeds him.

After dinner, Xu Shaoyang volunteered to bathe the child, and Pei Shizhou patiently taught him how to bathe and dress the child. Xu Shaoyang was overjoyed, and the child kept calling out "Daddy" while being washed.

It was unclear whether he was calling Xu Shaoyang or Pei Shizhou, but Xu Shaoyang shamelessly responded to both. He answered every time the child called out a name.

Pei Shizhou didn't react at all, and even invited Xu Shaoyang to stay overnight at his home. Xu Shaoyang was flattered, but also worried that Pei Shizhou might have some kind of scheme.

Then she thought that she didn't seem to have anything that Pei Shizhou could scheme against, and that staying would allow her to build a relationship with the child, so she readily agreed.
