"What are you doing?"

Xu Liancheng avoided Ouyang Qianqian's kneeling direction and stood to the side.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but he thought of her scheme.

He dodged to the side again.

"Liancheng..." Ouyang Qianqian hoarsely called out his name. Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. It was truly a sight that provoked one's pity.

"If you have something to say, stand up. Who are you threatening by kneeling on the floor?"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you think about the one in your stomach?" Qin Yan bluntly exposed Ouyang Qianqian's plan. Ouyang Qianqian was so angry that she choked on her own saliva and coughed crazily.

Qin Yan's words really worked. Before Xu Liancheng could speak again, she had already stood up from the ground and glared at Qin Yan with a face full of resentment.

"Brother Liancheng, you will help me, right?" She held back her anger and looked at Xu Liancheng.

"Whose child is it?"

"I can't say."

"But I want to keep him." Ouyang Qianqian bit her red lips.

"Of course, I don't expect you to marry me. For the sake of... For the sake of saving you back then, don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Is that all?" Xu Liancheng did not expect that she would only make such a request after holding it in for a long time. For a moment, he wondered if he was hearing things.

"Yes... That's it."

"After all, you know my identity. I am more or less a public figure now. If those paparazzi and media know that I am pregnant, I couldn't expect how they will report it." Ouyang Qianqian's face was pale and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. "Moreover, you also know my uncle. He pays attention to family education. If he knew that I was pregnant before marriage, he would definitely beat me to death!"

As if he had thought of something, Xu Liancheng's tone gradually improved. It was less stiff. He frowned and looked at the woman in front of him. His heart was very complicated.

His reason told him that he should persuade her to abort the child.

An unreliable man who needed to be protected by women was not a good man.

But she mentioned the life-saving grace back then, and he felt like he was being squeezed by an invisible big hand on the back of his neck.

The soreness made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Are you sure you want to keep this child?"

"Yes, the doctor said that I can't abort children anymore. If I continue to abort them, I will never be a mother." Ouyang Qianqian murmured in a low voice. Her slender body looked extremely thin under the large patient's clothes.

She stroked her belly, her eyes full of longing and expectations.

It could be seen that she truly cared for her child.

But the things that she had done...

Xu Liancheng felt even dizzier, thinking that women were really complicated.

"I won't go out and talk nonsense. Qin Yan is my good brother, and no one will know that you are hospitalized here."

"You can have a child. You must bear any subsequent consequences. Other than material, I will not provide you with any help." Mr. Xu, who had been cheated countless times, decided to save himself. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

"I... I don't have a place to stay."

"I won't dare to go abroad in my current state."

"Can you find me a house? I promise I won't disturb you."

Ouyang Qianqian said and was about to kneel again.

"Yes, but I hope you keep your word."

"Of course."

"Brother Liancheng, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this either... I..."

After tricking a house, Ouyang Qianqian still wanted to pull Xu Liancheng along to develop some more feelings, but with Qin Yan around, her plan failed again.

It was exactly because of this that the feud between Ouyang Qianqian and Qin Yan could be considered to have officially begun. Even after a long time, she did not give up on revenge, but that was an afterthought.

...

"I never knew you were so soft-hearted."

"If it were me, it would already be good if I didn't expose her to the media directly." Walking out of the ward, Qin Yan still said indignantly.

Xu Liancheng lowered his head and flipped through his phone. He was completely empty.

"What time is it?"

He suddenly stopped and asked.

"Damn! Don't be so flustered, okay? It's already 7:30. What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"I'm leaving first. Thank you for last night."

"What kind of relationship do we have? You're treating me like a stranger just by saying this. Hey, hey, Xu Liancheng, you really left just like that! Don't you want to have breakfast? I've already prepared food for you!"

Qin Yan's nagging still lingered in his ears, but Xu Liancheng only had that small figure left in his heart.

Bill told him that she went back after eating yesterday. Xu Liancheng wondered if she was waiting for him. He thought to himself, "If she has been waiting for me, why wouldn't she have called me?"

In fact, as long as she called, he could extricate himself from this awkward position. The bed in the hospital was really uncomfortable to lie down on.

...

Zhuang Momo swore inside her heart!

If she had any hope for Xu Liancheng, she would be a pig!

Although she was really angry, she still went home early and went to bed obediently after parting with Qian Lingyou.

"But what about him!"

"An entire night!"

She had been waiting for him all night!

"It's fine if he didn't come back, but there wasn't even a text message or a phone call!"

"He said he wanted me to recognize my identity and have some ideological awareness, but what about him? What about his ideological awareness?"

She was so angry, but she still had to keep a smile.

It was not until dawn that Zhuang Momo closed her eyes in a daze. When she woke up again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, but—

Xu Liancheng still hadn't returned!

"Mommy, don't worry about Daddy. Anyway, you have a son. Men are not important!"

The baby who entrapped his father immediately popped up to successfully resolve the resentment in Zhuang Momo's heart by making fun of his own father.

"You are right!"

"Men are all big liars. Only my own baby is reliable. He knows how to dote on his mommy." Zhuang Momo was so moved that she hugged her son and kissed him on his soft little face.

"Mommy."

"I read in the book that only when you care about a person, or when you like a person, you will be angry because of some of his actions. In that case, have you already fallen in love with Daddy?" Xu Bixi looked up and asked seriously.

"I like him?"

"Have I gone crazy? I like him!"

Zhuang Momo subconsciously replied, but when she saw her son's face gradually collapse, she thought to herself, "Oh no, how could I forget about my son's illness?"

The harmonious relationship between parents was the foundation of family harmony. It was the cornerstone of a good environment to grow up in. She had to maintain a friendly relationship with Xu Liancheng, even if it was only in front of the child.

"Ah." Zhuang Momo pretended to be shy and screamed. Then, she took her baby's hands and whispered helplessly, "Mommy will tell you secretly. You can't tell Daddy! In fact, I like him very much. I started to like him five years ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here!"

"It's just that there are a lot of misunderstandings between us. As adults, we all like to quarrel. So, I guess you understand. We then separated."

"But baby, mommy loves daddy very much."

"Daddy, he actually likes Mommy very much too, right? You also know that your father was hurt by the explosion that year. Probably due to some side effects, he was always fooled by others. I was angry because of this! He actually didn't go home all night!"

"That's right! It's just like this! I almost believed it myself!" She thought to herself.

However, looking at her son's smile, Zhuang Momo wiped away the nonexistent cold sweat and secretly rejoiced that she had finally fooled him.

However, she did not notice the evil smile on her son's little face when she turned to wash up.

Although he could tell that his mother was just bluffing, he was still very touched. He thought she was willing to do a lot for him.

Then, he was also willing to for her.

To work hard to live, to grow up, and to protect her from being bullied by anyone.

But would he really have time?

Xu Bixi thought of his own illness and his black pupils dimmed again.

However, even if he couldn't protect her, he still had Daddy!

He thought about it and sent the voice he had just secretly recorded to Xu Liancheng in a text message.

Coincidentally.

Xu Liancheng was in Xu Family's old house discussing a case with his grandmother and Xu Family's relatives.

There was more than one company under his name, and there was almost no free time between Monday to Friday.

Therefore, Xu Family's regular meeting was scheduled for Sunday morning. Therefore, Xu Liancheng, who had stayed up all night, only ate some food in the car and came to the meeting again.

Seeing the message sent by his son through the phone, Xu Liancheng subconsciously went straight to click it and did not notice that it was not a text but a voice message.

Immediately, the entire conference room was filled with Zhuang Momo's solemn voice.

"Of course, I love your daddy! Your daddy loves me the most too! It's just that his brain got damaged from the explosion and he didn't go home the whole night."

"Cough cough..."

"Sorry."

Xu Liancheng coughed violently. He hurriedly turned off his phone and successfully threw it out.

"It's fine. It's fine!"

"It's a good thing that a husband and wife have a good relationship! Young people should be like this."

"But Liancheng, how could you not go home at that time? When you didn't go home, you have to tell her in advance." Old Lady Xu looked at her grandson lovingly and gently educated him.

She was originally thinking that her grandson got married because he was angry. Now it seemed that he really liked Zhuang Momo. Then, Old Lady Xu could rest assured.

"No, Grandma."

"I..."

"Well, today's regular meeting is almost over. You don't need to be here for the rest. Go back quickly. It's a good weekend. What's the point of not accompanying your wife?"

"Grandma."

"You should leave. Just go. Otherwise, I will suspect that your head has been burned." Old Lady Xu deliberately put on a stern face, forcing Xu Lian to leave.

Helpless, Xu Liancheng had no choice but to endure the ambiguous gazes of his subordinates and relatives. For so many years, this was the first time he had left the meeting early. He was once again glad, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, I have a mask. Otherwise, wouldn't my cold image fall?"

"What's wrong with Zhuang Momo?" As he walked, he complained to his assistant Bill.

Bill only listened and did not reply. He faintly cast a look at Xu Liancheng to show that he was just quietly looking at him, which made Xu Liancheng suddenly silent.

"What if the assistant wants to go to the heavens?" Xu Liancheng wondered inside his heart.

Xu Liancheng had a headache. At the corner, he ran into Xu Qingyun who had also slipped away in advance.

Xu Qingyun had just been at the venue and heard Xu Liancheng's words clearly.

At this moment, Xu Qingyun was annoyed and wanted to hide when he saw Xu Liancheng.

However, he did not expect it.

"Nephew."
