After saying that, Wen Rou Rou really ran off to the side.

Long Yin watched the little guy playing obediently by himself and suddenly said, "This child is quite smart, he shouldn't be bad at studying."

Wen Shu smiled and said, "He's only in kindergarten, so I don't know how he's doing in the lower grades, but the teachers all say my son's emotional intelligence is good enough."

Looking at the little guy, Wen Shu said calmly, "During the difficult times, I wondered if I could have lived an easier life without him, but every time I see his cute little face, I feel that I made the right decision to have him."

She paused, then added, "I just can't bear the thought that one day he might be taken away from me."

Long Yin grabbed the teapot, added a little water to Wen Shu's cup, and then added a little to his own cup, saying lazily, "Don't even mention a child, even if you raised a puppy for three years, you'd have a deep bond with it."

"However, the fact that the child's biological father is him is indeed a troublesome matter. In Beicheng, going head-to-head with the Li family is no easy task."

Wen Shu pursed her lips. "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to you instead of Mr. Long."

Long Yin paused, put down the teapot, glanced at Wen Shu, and said, "You certainly know how to pick people."

“In the northern part of the city, there are only a few families that can rival the Li family. You’ve picked the safest one.”

Wen Shu smiled slightly, "I know the Li family is a troublesome family, which is why I dare to place my hopes on Mr. Long."

"Furthermore, I trust Miss Ma's judgment; she was the one who recommended Mr. Long. Therefore, Mr. Long must have exceptional qualities, otherwise Miss Ma wouldn't recommend him so casually."

Thinking of what Li Duo had said in the courtyard today, Wen Shu asked, "Mr. Long, you are an open and straightforward person. Could you give me a definite answer today?"

"If you're willing, we can continue to stay in touch. If you're not, then we can leave each other alone and not waste each other's time. What do you think?"

Long Yin rested his chin on his hand, his gaze falling on Wen Shu's face. "As for her appearance, she's quite good. The child is also very cute. It would be a bit pretentious of me to say I'm unwilling, but if I'm willing..."

Long Yin looked troubled. "I always feel like I'm just a tool for you to use. We agreed it was a blind date, but we didn't talk about feelings at all. You just used me after I joined the group. What do you think?"

Wen Shu paused for a moment, then pursed her lips. "Mr. Long, I know what you're worried about. Actually, I have the same thoughts myself. I'm a slow-to-warm-up person by nature, and I have no choice but to do this."

"I am willing to continue to be with Mr. Long, and I only hope that Mr. Long can protect my child during our time together."

Long Yin immediately laughed, "It seems Li Duo has put a lot of pressure on you."

Wen Shu shook her head and said, "The real pressure comes from the Li family."

"You're saying the Li family is offering money to buy your son? The Li family must be offering a pretty high price, right? You should really consider it. After all, you can have another child. The Li family can afford to pay, but you might not be able to earn that much yourself."

Wen Shu sighed, "That's true, but the problem is, I can earn the same value of one hundred yuan, but I can't give birth to a child exactly like Rou Rou."

“Mr. Long, if you are unwilling, I cannot force you.”

Long Yin immediately asked with great interest, "What will you do if I refuse you?"

Wen Shu gave a wry smile. "What else can I do? I certainly won't give up on the child. If Mr. Long rejects me, then I can only continue to look for the next business partner with whom I can reach a deal."

Upon hearing this, Long Yin suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Let's make a deal! After all, I'm quite satisfied with your face; it should be presentable enough to take you out in public. As for the child, it's buy one get one free—quite a bargain!"

Buy one get one free? Wen Shu was speechless at this way of describing it.

Wen Shu: "..."

She remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter two words, "Thank you!"

The Li family.

Li Yuanqing looked at Li Duo in surprise, "What did you say? You want to take the child back to the Li family?"

She looked at Li Duo with a suspicious gaze and said, "Are you bringing Wen Shu back to the Li family as well?"

Li Duo's expression was cold and stern as he said coolly, "Did I say that? I said I'm going to take my son home."

Li Yuanqing stood there, looking somewhat shocked. Had Li Duo compromised so readily?

This isn't like him. What's going on?

Could it be that after being stripped of his power by the Li family, he finally came to his senses and wanted to take back the Li family's power in the fastest way possible? After all, Li Duo was kicked out of the Li family and removed from his core management position because he wanted to take Wen Shu and the child home by his own will.

However, the old man simply did not agree to let someone like Wen Shu into the Li family. He had no gentlemanly manners, no personal abilities, and what did he have besides having a child?

Is she worthy of the elite young master carefully cultivated by the Li family?

From any perspective, Wen Shu and Li Duo are indeed not a good match!

Li Yuanqing was very vigilant. She stared at Li Duo and said, "You're not just pretending to comply, are you? Li Duo, I advise you to wake up. If Dad finds out what you're up to, you'll be in big trouble!"

Li Duo sneered, "Li Yuanqing, mind your own business. Whether the fruit tastes good or not is none of your concern. I'm leaving my words here. To avoid upsetting the old man, I won't go see him."

“I will definitely bring the child back to the Li family, but there’s one thing I hope you’ll remember: even if I bring the child back, I will do so through legitimate means.”

"If I find out that you are trying to harm Wen Shu, I will not let this go!"

Li Duo's words made Li Yuanqing even more convinced that he was just trying to outwardly comply while secretly going against his wishes, using this method to alleviate his current unemployment.

Women are very realistic. Wen Shu knows that Li Duo has lost his job and his source of income, so she will definitely be disappointed in him.

Li Duo wanted to regain power and curry favor with Wen Shu.

So he chose this method of deception!

Li Duo didn't want to say anything more to Li Yuanqing and turned to leave.

Li Yuanqing trembled with anger, and she said through gritted teeth, "Li Duo, don't go too far!"

"Let me tell you, even if you regret it now, I will never return the Li family's power to you. I will definitely achieve even greater things and prove myself."

"Back then, Third Grandmother turned the tide and saved the Li family, which already proved that the women of the Li family are no less capable than the men. Now it's my turn to prove it!"

"Let me tell you, no matter what method you try, you can't get rid of me. And I will never leave easily. My current position is something I've waited for all these years to earn through my own abilities!"

Li Duo walked to the door, then stopped and looked back at her. "Congratulations. I hope you stay in this position for a long time and make your own achievements."
