The child, just a few months short of turning five, tilted his tiny head up to look at his mother. His big, dark eyes were filled with little glimmers of grievance and pity, as if he would burst into tears if Ye Ning answered affirmatively.
Ye Ning saw this, and it felt as though something stabbed her heart fiercely. In that instant, the pain curled even her fingers.
No, he was her child. How could she not want him?
Ye Ning bent down and hugged this little bundle tightly in her arms: "No way, they’re talking nonsense. How could Mama not want you? Alright, let’s go to the supermarket right now, buy some meat and wrappers, and make dumplings for my baby, okay?"
The little child being held, finally smiled, hugging his mother. His chubby little face was all smiles.
Ye Ning saw this, feeling both bittersweet and sad. After fastening his seatbelt, she went to the driver’s seat, started the car, and headed towards the supermarket.
Actually, in doing all this, Ye Ning felt most guilty towards this child. From birth, he had been suffering alongside her. Just when it seemed they had finally found his father, such a thing happened. He’s still so young, how could he keep experiencing these things?
Ye Ning drove the car, glancing at the now very cheerful child in the rearview mirror. Her eyes finally grew a bit moist... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Meanwhile, on the eleventh floor of the Ou Corporation Building—
"Third Master, aren’t you going home? Isn’t today...the day to pick up the young master?"
Secretary Gao, after tidying up his own things, saw that the person in the office hadn’t come out yet. Out of duty as the CEO’s secretary, he specially knocked on the door to check inside.
It’s five o’clock already. According to the past, the CEO would have rushed out to pick up the child by now. Why is he still free to stay here today?
Secretary Gao pushed open the door and was very puzzled to see the man sitting on the sofa leisurely browsing his phone.
"No need to pick him up today, someone else will."
The man watching a video had a noble and coldly handsome face. Whatever he saw in the video must have been quite delightful, his expression was as though he had just been released from something.
Today, the CEO is acting strange!
Secretary Gao was a bit creeped out. Upon hearing there was no need to pick up, he immediately replied, "Alright then, since you don’t need to pick up Xiaobao today, shall I schedule a meeting with Doctor Ji and the others for you? It’s been a while since you all gathered."
The man sitting there, in a good mood and watching his phone, heard this and his eyes brightened.
True, it had been a long time since he had met with them.
So he nodded in agreement with this suggestion.
Secretary Gao saw this and happily went to arrange it...
The CEO agreed to relax, which meant his mood had finally improved. What a joyous moment, after living through such hellish days, they were finally seeing the light.
Secretary Gao exuberantly dashed back to her desk, made phone calls to Doctor Ji, the mayor’s son, and Young Master Zhan. Surely enough, upon hearing the news, each one showed an expression of disbelief, but once they snapped back, they all immediately agreed.
So after hanging up the phone, Secretary Gao made another call: "Third Master, I’ve already arranged it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."
