43: Chapter 43 This is Her Son 43: Chapter 43 This is Her Son Jing Xuan walked in wearing a white dress and high heels, elegant and poised, yet with a touch of allure.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
Su Yimo turned her head and saw Jing Xuan, immediately letting go of Jiang You and sprinting towards Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan stopped in her tracks, bent down, and scooped him up.
Su Yimo wrapped his arms around her neck and sweetly called out, “Mommy~”
Hearing his voice, Jing Xuan felt her heart soften.
If it weren’t for the mask he was wearing, she would have kissed his chubby little face.
This brief exchange shocked all three men present.
Gu Beiyan was the first to regain his composure, his gaze instinctively turning to the silent Lu Zhiyang.
He thought to himself: Damn!
Is this Jing Xuan’s son?
Lu Zhiyang’s striking features showed no emotion, but a trace of darkness flickered in his eyes upon seeing that figure.
“Sorry, gentlemen, my son can be quite direct when he speaks, and if he said anything that upset you, I hope you won’t hold it against a child.”
Jing Xuan, holding Su Yimo, took a few steps inside and smiled at the three men.
When Jiang You saw that it was Jing Xuan who had arrived, a weight lifted off her heart.
Likewise, Jiang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the child were really Jiang You’s, he would have someone break that man’s legs.
She was only twenty-three years old, unmarried and already a mother—the very thought made his blood boil.
But an odd emotion emerged in his chest, though it had vanished before he could fully grasp it.
“Miss Jing, this is, your son?” Mr.
Gu swallowed, asking in disbelief.
Jing Xuan nodded and calmly said, “Yes, does Mr.
Gu also think I’m unfit to have a child?”
When Jing Xuan said this, her eyes inadvertently swept over Lu Zhiyang, who was sitting in the corner.
Gu inhaled sharply—this was a big deal.
Jing Xuan had hidden the fact that she had such a big son from everyone—how could Lu stay seated?
Clearing his throat, Mr.
Gu said, “Well, it’s not exactly that, it’s just that your elder brother Beiyan was startled by your move.
You never mentioned you were already married, right?”
“Who said you have to be married to have a son?” She chuckled.
After all, a godson is still a son.
However, to those unaware of the truth, these words had a different taste.
Gu was at a loss for words for the first time.
“Miss Jing is truly liberal and carefree, to have a child out of wedlock.
I wonder what the Jing Family elders would think if they found out?” Lu Zhiyang suddenly spoke up.
His voice was low and cold, filled with sarcasm and disdain, but even more so, a repressed anger.
Jing Xuan smiled slightly and calmly said, “President Lu flatters me.
There is no need for President Lu to worry about this.
This is a matter for the Jing Family, and it’s best for outsiders not to meddle.”
Gu glanced at the two, with the atmosphere coming off as rather tense.
Jiang Yan looked unperturbed, as if it was none of his concern, but subconsciously, his gaze landed on the little one in Jing Xuan’s arms.
Those eyes gave him a sense of familiarity.
“Mommy, let’s go home.
Baby is sleepy,” Su Yimo said in a sweet voice.
Jing Xuan raised her hand and pinched his cheek, “Alright, I’ll take you home now.”
Her tone and demeanor were filled with a mother’s tender love.
Then, the two of them left the private room.
Jiang You said to Jiang Yan, “Uh, brother, I’ll go with Ms.
However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Zhiyang said, “Wait.”
Jiang You was actually quite afraid of Lu Zhiyang as well; he seemed even colder than her brother and exuded a strong sense of resentment.
Zhiyang, what is it?”
Lu Zhiyang stared intently at her, “Is this her child?”
“Yes, it is,” Jiang You nodded without hesitation.
Only, this son was a godson, with an extra word at the beginning.
