"Mr. He, Xiaobao has already said that I am his mother. Isn’t that enough?" Zhixi bit her lip.
He Jingyao smiled, "This child also calls me ’Dad.’ Does that mean I’m really his father? How can you believe the words of a child, hmm?"
Gu Zhixi’s face turned pale.
Subconsciously, she glanced at Xiaobao, and the little guy guiltily looked up at the sky...
Indeed, He Jingyao had known all along. Today’s charade was clearly a trap for her to fall into...
With that thought, she looked at the little one beside her, "Xiaobao, would you like to go with mommy?"
"Uh..." Xiaobao showed a troubled expression and hesitantly glanced at He Jingyao.
"Miss Gu, Xiaobao doesn’t want to go." He Jingyao curled the corners of his lips, "You better not force him."
Gu Zhixi looked at her son, her eyes reddening slightly, and lowered her voice, "...What exactly did he tell you?"
The little guy scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Well, Mom, I did it for your own good."
Gu Zhixi glared at him.
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow and suddenly took a step forward.
Seeing this, Gu Zhixi instinctively stepped back.
However, He Jingyao simply walked over to the bed, picked up Xiaobao, then gave her a cold glance that seemed to mock her wishful thinking.
Gu Zhixi’s face flushed slightly, but she persisted and asked, "Xiaobao..."
"I will take him back," He Jingyao answered indifferently, carrying the little one out.
"Mommy." Xiaobao waved to her from over He Jingyao’s shoulder.
Gu Zhixi paused, then quickly followed.
Li Bo was waiting outside the ward.
He Jingyao handed the little one over to Li Bo, patting his head, "Go back with Uncle, and then go to bed early, got it?"
The little guy obediently nodded his head, then asked quietly, "What about Mommy?"
"Your mother and I have matters to discuss."
"Are you going to bully Mommy?" Xiaobao asked worriedly.
He Jingyao suddenly let out a laugh, touched his head, and said in a deep voice, "That depends on whether your mommy wants to be bullied by me."
Gu Zhixi happened to walk up and heard his remark, instinctively glancing at him.
He Jingyao happened to look at her at the same time, and in the instant their eyes met, the man’s dark eyes seemed to plunge into too many emotions.
Gu Zhixi’s heartbeat became erratic, and she turned her gaze away without composure.
He chuckled ambiguously.
Gu Zhixi pursed her lips, trying to ignore the oppressive feeling this man gave her, and looked at her son, "Xiaobao, Mommy will come to pick you up in a couple days."
He nodded obediently.
Soon, Li Bo took the little one away from the hospital.
Gu Zhixi let out a soft sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and spoke softly, "He Jingyao."
"What more does Miss Gu want?" His voice was languid and light.
Zhixi opened her eyes and looked at him, "If Xiaobao truly wants to live with you, I won’t fight with you for him, but by rights, he should be more willing to be with me. What did you say to him?"
"What relationship do I have with this child? Why would I compete with you for him?" The man’s eyes were dark and calm, but the corners of his lips were curved in a mocking smile, "Miss Gu, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Zhixi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
Even now, this man was still playing dumb.
"He Jingyao, you well know that I am..." She looked into his eyes and said word by word, "You well know that I am Su Zixi."
