He squatted down again to tease Xiaobao, scratching Xiaobao's chin with his finger: "Since Xiaobao misses Daddy, how about Daddy carries you back?"

"Okay, Daddy will hug me!"

The family was all smiles and laughter. Ning Han, sitting in the carriage, watched them, but felt a surge of anger rising within her, almost as if it would burst the top of her head.

He lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, standing quietly by the roadside.

Liu Heng quickly saw him, hurriedly put the child down, and approached Ning Han, calling out, "Brother-in-law..."

Ning Han looked up and stared at him coldly, his gaze as cold as ice crystals, fixed directly on Liu Heng.

Liu Heng shivered involuntarily.

He didn't know how much Ning Han had seen, nor whether he should blame himself for being careless or blame Pan Luxiu for being disobedient. A jumble of emotions filled his chest, and when he met Ning Han's cold gaze, he hesitated for a moment, not daring to step forward.

Pan Luxiu had already taken Xiaobao to the side.

Ning Han looked at him and smiled slightly, "How dare you call me brother-in-law? How old is your child?"

Liu Heng's expression changed.

He had painstakingly kept it a secret until today, but Ning Han finally found out.

But he can't admit it! If he admits it, then everything will truly be ruined.

"It's not what you think, brother-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding!" He forced a smile as he walked over to Ning Han.

Ning Han suppressed her anger and asked him gently, "What misunderstanding is there?"

He raised his hand and slapped Liu Heng hard across the face, making him turn his head to the side. Soon, a faint red mark appeared on his left cheek.

However, Ning Han did not feel relieved at all.

His beloved younger sister died six years ago, and his brother-in-law, whom he always thought was deeply in love with her, had actually had a child with another woman seven years ago.

He recalled Zhu Jiayu's words: "You may not believe it, but even when I first heard about it, I thought it was utterly absurd, yet that's exactly how it is. What I want to tell you is that before Liu Heng even came to the capital, he had already married a wife, and even after he married Miss Ning, he still kept it a secret from his first wife. And seven years ago, when Miss Ning was still alive, Liu Heng already had a child with his first wife."

What did he say?

He only felt that Zhu Jiayu was deliberately smearing Liu Heng for her aunt's sake. After all, he had known Liu Heng for so many years, and he believed he knew Liu Heng's character very well.

He said, "Miss Zhu, I will not hold this against you because you are Wan'er's niece, but people's words can be a fearsome thing. Please do not say such things that slander someone's reputation out of thin air again."

However, with irrefutable evidence, it was finally clear whether Zhu Jiayu had tarnished someone's reputation or misjudged people.

He felt sorry for his deceased sister and for Zhu Jiayu.
