Xu Liancheng was somewhat dull and reacted slowly when it came to relationships.

However, he could tell his son's hostility towards Ye Qinghe. That rejection was heartful, so he didn't stop him immediately.

It was just that he did not understand how Zhuang Momo was different from others to be able to make his picky son so hell-bent on protecting her and eliminating the possible situation that was impossible to happen.

He had never liked Ye Qinghe in the first place. He didn't and wouldn't like her.

However, when he saw his son protect Zhuang Momo like a warrior, he had mixed feelings. He was kind of jealous. It was like a pig that he had raised for so many years but was eventually lured away by a cabbage.

Xu Bixi had already fallen asleep. His little hand that was held by Xu Liancheng unconsciously twitched. Xu Liancheng sighed and put his son's hand back into the quilt. Then, he quietly walked out with Tony.

"It will be laborious for you to babysit him in the coming days," Xu Liancheng said to Tony. With great power comes great responsibility. Xu Liancheng could not even accompany his sick son at all times.

"With me here, don't worry. However, I think it's better for you to find some time to explain things to Madam. After all, autumn is coming. It will be cold then. I'm worried that Young Master will be sick more frequently. You can't keep it from her forever."

"And there is another issue."

"There's something I don't know if I should say." Tony looked back at the child in the dream as if he had just made up his mind.

"If you shouldn't say, then don't."

"No, I still have to say."

"Since you are here, do you want to have a physical examination?" Tony suggested.

Xu Liancheng was startled and his eyes darkened.

"The reason?"

"You and Madam have been married for more than two months. Why doesn't she get pregnant yet? I heard from Young Master that you and Madam haven't..."

"Haven't what?"

"Well, you know what I'm saying. We are all adults, and there is nothing we can't say. If you have a problem doing that thing, you can secretly cure it. You can't avoid it. I heard that the older you get, the more difficult it is to cure."

The more Tony spoke, the lower his voice became, and the sound gradually faded.

He said it so clearly that Xu Liancheng understood what he implied. He also knew that Tony had risked his life to give this advice.

Unfortunately, he dared to question his potency!

This was absolutely intolerable!

"Afria is pretty good, right?" Xu Liancheng stared at him for a while and suddenly said.

"Hmm? Not bad. Other than the hot climate and the strange food, it's almost the same as here." After all, he mainly stayed in the university and the government departments, he did not encounter many strange things. Tony's impression of that place was not too bad.

"Since that's the case, you will be there next month."

"Ah?"

"That's right. Didn't you guys do the first phase of the public service project last time? You'll be in charge of the second and third phases," Xu Liancheng said leisurely.

"Boss, you must be joking." Tony felt a little uneasy, but he forced himself to maintain his pride and confidence. "Isn't it too much of a waste for me to be responsible for such a trivial matter?"

"Yes."

Xu Liancheng looked at the little figure in the sick room and raised his hand to pat his assistant on the shoulder. "So, take Young Master with you. With you, I can rest assured. It just so happens that it's hot over there and it's good for Bixi."

"But..."

"There's no but. It's settled then. When Bixi gets stable, you can leave. As for Madam, just remember to video chat with her every day."

With this said, Xu Liancheng walked toward the doctor's office.

No matter what, the current interaction between him and Ye Qinghe could not be avoided.

...

"Doctor Ye, is it convenient for you to talk?"

Xu Liancheng knocked on the door and asked directly.

Ye Qinghe was in anger, putting her chin on the table. When she heard his voice, she immediately sat up straight.

Her hair was not messy, and her sitting posture was upright. That's right, she was still the most beautiful woman in the hospital.

"Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Xu?" She deliberately said this to show her indifferent attitude as if she was not the one who had just been insulted by Xu Bixi.

"Yes."

Looking around the office, Xu Liancheng took another step back. "I'll wait for you in the small conference room next door."

This sanatorium was under his name, and he knew all the rooms here.

Hearing this, Ye Qinghe slowly stood up in front of everyone's envious eyes. She gracefully walked towards the next room. She did not even take off her white coat which caused her inconvenience. She was extremely sexy in this uniform.

Seeing her enter the room and close the door, Xu Liancheng asked bluntly, "How's the situation in America? Are you prepared for the Christie's auction? I want two pieces of pure jade that can be used for bracelets."

Xu Liancheng's string of questions left Ye Qinghe in a daze.

It was not until the man impatiently tapped his fingers on the table that she remembered her other role. She was the head of the overseas business of his company, who was responsible for the procurement and public relations of various channels, as well as the jewelry brands of Xu Enterprise.

Clearing her throat, Ye Qinghe's temperament suddenly changed. It was as if she had returned to his home field in an instant.

"First, the financial report for the first half of this year has been released and will be delivered to your email within three days. Second, the auction progresses smoothly. All the invitations have been issued and ten VIP tickets have been reserved for you. Third, as for the jade, I have to check it out. You also know that the jade sold at the public biddings this year is not very good. I don't know what quality you want, is it for a man or a woman?"

"Woman."

"I want the best. It's best if it's imperial green onyx. Red jadeite is OK if there's no imperial green onyx." Since Xu Liancheng found out that she did not like diamonds, he planned to gift her with jade at all the festivals.

The message was also good. Jade had a price, but love was priceless.

"Is it for...Madam?" Ye Qinghe said with difficulty.

"Yes, I'll give it to my wife. Help me keep an eye out. If there are any, it's best. If not, I'll go look for the raw jade mine next month."

"Are you going to gamble on stones yourself?" Ye Qinghe was stunned!

Although the profit of the jade business was extremely high, it couldn't make a profit every year.

"Yes. Either I don't give her a gift, or I give her the best," Xu Liancheng said calmly. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with buying a piece of jade for his wife.

"It seems that you like her very much. Why haven't you told me before? Is it Miss Ouyang?" Xu Qinghe, who already knew the answer, struggled unwillingly.

"No, I have nothing to do with Ouyang."

"My wife is Bixi's birth mother."

"Birth mother?" Ye Qinghe was stunned. She lost her mind in an instant and was wild with joy. If that was the case, then everything seemed to make sense. After all, the person who had asked Xu Liancheng to find the child's birth mother to give birth to a child to save Xu Bixi was her teacher. She was witnessing all this then.

"Yes, biological mother. Is there a problem?"

"Are you not feeling well? If you are not feeling well, go to rest first. We will talk about work later." Xu Liancheng looked at the woman in front of him in confusion. Why did she change her expression too? Why was she so serious at the last second and the next second, she started to laugh. And her smile was so ugly.

Yes, ugly.

There was one thing that his son wasn't wrong about, and that was Zhuang Momo looked beautiful after dressing up.

"Nothing. I just thought of something."

"Oh well, since you've already found Bixi's birth mother, I suggest you hurry up with the child thing. If you don't want to ...with that lady..."

"She is my wife."

"Yes, your wife." Ye Qinghe, who had been corrected, looked embarrassed but she quickly returned to normal. "I want to say that if Madam doesn't want to give birth by herself or if she has any physical difficulties, the medical technology is very developed now. For example, IVF is fast and efficient."

Xu Liancheng almost choked.

"Fast and efficient?"

"Yes, after all, you saw it too. Bixi is getting sick more and more frequently. If this winter he gets sick more than three times, then he might not be able to survive next year."

Bang—

Xu Liancheng couldn't help but crush the cup on the table, causing glass shards to splash everywhere.

Xu Qinghe's eyelids twitched, but she remained as calm as ever.

"This is very realistic. You know, I am a doctor. My teacher, Professor Hal, said the same thing last year, so please do not question my profession."

Xu Liancheng looked at her quietly. The depression grew and then quietly dissipated.

After a long time, he loosened his fingers that were holding the cup and let out a long breath.

"I see."

"But no IVF. She is in good health." She ate well and slept well, and she could even beat and bite him. Thinking about what happened that night, Xu Liancheng felt a faint pain in his shoulder. He could not help but press the mask down again.

He was not afraid of embarrassing himself, but he only wanted her to see it.

"Alright, you take care of the jade. I'll be leaving first."

"Yes, I will take good care of Bixi. Also, don't forget that you owe me a meal."

"Of course, it was after Bixi was discharged from the hospital this time. I know you are not in the mood to eat now, and I have no time," Ye Qinghe spoke before Xu Liancheng could.

Hearing this, Xu Liancheng really couldn't refuse. He silently stared at her for a long time and nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Ye Qinghe immediately stood up and rushed out of the door before Xu Liancheng.

Although she was shocked by the fact that Xu Liancheng found Bixi's biological mother, she felt a strong sense of superiority when she thought of how she seemed to have given birth to a child for money.

It was not the first time she had seen this kind of thing since she was born into the Ye family. To put it bluntly, she was just a surrogate mother. Moreover, even if she gave birth to a child, what could she do? Not to mention that bone marrow transplantation was a very risky operation, he was such a small child, and it was possible that two of them would die from the surgery...

Ye Qinghe couldn't help but laugh evilly.
