"Yeah, she was just venting at you, women, you know, always say the opposite of what they feel. You have no idea, she was so happy when she found out that it was your company that hired her, she even took me for a big meal."
Ye Ning felt she was both angry and anxious, as if she was about to cough up blood: "Ye Xiaobao!!! Shut your mouth!"
Ye Xiaobao closed his mouth, but those big, watery eyes looked at his mother with such grievance.
Really, why was Ye Dabao venting her anger on him? He was trying to help her. She thought he didn’t know that she was determined to work at this awful uncle’s company, Ye Dabao, you big fool.
Ye Ning glared at him furiously as well...
Was he really her biological son? How could he betray his own mother ?
Her face flushed red as she looked up, only to see that the face above her did not look back at her. Instead, it maintained its usual indifference, an expressionless gaze fixed ahead, which made her heart finally take a long, relieved breath.
That rascal, just wait until I get you home!
The three of them stopped talking and walked straight out.
Strangely enough, Ye Ning had been worried about people from the estate seeing them as this man carried her, which could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
But as they walked, she realized that there was no one around. Looking carefully, she then understood that he had taken the back door of the manor.
So he could be scared too...
A self-mocking smile flickered across Ye Ning’s lips.
"Don’t get me wrong, this is my house, I can leave however I want. I took this route because of you. Tonight, your son was used to harm me, and he’s now the center of attention. If people see that you are his mother, you and your son will quickly become the biggest news in this city tomorrow. So, I advise you, if you don’t want to become too famous, it’s best to keep your identity, and that of your child, a secret after you get back."
Just as Ye Ning was in self-mockery, the man carrying her spoke these cold words.
As he finished speaking, she stiffened, and then her face turned pale with shock!
What was he talking about?
Her child, the center of attention?
My goodness, why is this happening? Who would do such a thing?
She started to panic, forgetting that she was still in his arms, her hand gripping his chest tightly: "What exactly is going on? Why would Xiaobao be used to harm you? Who would do such a thing?"
Ou Mucen looked down at her, especially... at the hands gripping his chest.
They were hands that had turned pale to the point where even the blue veins were visible, a clear display of her current emotional agitation, as well as her panic and fear.
In the end, she was just a poor woman innocently caught up in this whole affair.
The man still holding her looked away, his heart ultimately softening a bit: "It was my nephew; he wanted Xiaobao to call me ’Dad’ in front of everyone during the performance today."
Was he talking about... Ou Yuze?
So, it was that beast again!!
In an instant, the thin woman held in the man’s arms had blood-red eyes, and her hands began to tremble at the mention of that name.
Yes, the party today, while she was in this man’s room earlier, she had overheard his mother talking about an arranged meeting prepared for him and the mayor’s daughter.
That also meant that any scandal involving this man at this event would inevitably cast a shadow over the image of the mayor’s daughter and everyone else present,
