But at this moment, he realized how much he had always cared about his grandfather’s trust.
After leaving Rong Guangguo’s room, he returned to his own and saw Lin Xinlan and Xiaocong sleeping in the bed.
Lin Xinlan was leaning against the headboard, and Xiaocong had already fallen asleep.
Under the soft light, she gently patted the child’s body, her face showing a mother’s tender love, filling anyone who saw it with warmth.
He discovered that the fame and power he had pursued all his life couldn’t compare to the scene before him.
Having them, mother and child, was the greatest treasure of his life.
As long as he could ensure their safety and happiness, he was willing to give up everything, at any cost.
Lin Xinlan noticed him approaching and made a silencing gesture, whispering, "He’s asleep, don’t wake him."
Rong Shaoze raised an eyebrow, carefully picked up Xiaocong, and turned to leave.
Lin Xinlan was stunned before she realized the promise she had made to him on the plane today, and thinking about what would happen that night, her face involuntarily blushed.
Soon the man returned, closed the door, and walked towards her.
"Where did you take Xiaocong?"
"To mom’s, don’t worry, she’ll take good care of him." The man reached the bedside, slowly undoing the buttons on his shirt.
Lin Xinlan lowered her gaze, a flush on her face, not daring to look directly into his dark, shining eyes.
A strong, scorching body pressed against her, embracing her, and his hot kisses landed on her neck.
She gripped his arms, feeling somewhat flustered and shy.
Even though it was the cool autumn season, she felt as if it were a blazing summer, her body burning hot as if she were in a furnace.

Afterward, Lin Xinlan lay drenched in sweat on his body, too lazy to make even the slightest movement.
Rong Shaoze gently stroked her head, seeming casual as he spoke, "Mom asked me to inquire whether you had married Qiao Yiyang. She said you liked Qiao Yiyang, that you’ve always wanted to leave me, asking what it means for you to come back with me now."
Lin Xinlan’s eyes snapped open, her sleepiness instantly gone.
The man looked steadily at her and said lightly, "I said I would ask you and tell her once I have the answer."
Lin Xinlan asked with some sadness, "Do you also think I’m a woman who’s after money and power? Seeing you disappear, I married Qiao Yiyang. Seeing you come back, I dumped Qiao Yiyang to return with you?"
"Are you that kind of person?" Rong Shaoze calmly countered.
His tone and expression were too calm, making her unable to fathom his thoughts.
Sitting up, Lin Xinlan spoke lightly, "I don’t understand what you mean. Do you see me that way too?"
Rong Shaoze pursed his lips and said nothing. She suddenly became annoyed, grabbed a pillow, and smashed it onto his face.
Glaring at him angrily, she too remained silent, feeling a suffocating discomfort in her heart.
Rong Shaoze was silent for a while, then pulled her into his embrace; she struggled hard but her resistance was futile.
"Tell me, why did you agree to marry him? I want to know the reason."
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time but couldn’t bring himself to, fearing an answer he couldn’t bear to hear.
He had thought that she might have been forced by Qiao Yiyang, or that there might be other difficulties.
But he knew her somewhat and was aware that someone like Qiao Yiyang was definitely her type. He worried she had developed feelings for him, worried her heart had truly
