Zhan Jingting put down his chopsticks. "Let's talk outside."

Zhan Yin looked at Qiao Wanwan curiously, "Aren't you going to listen?"

"There's nothing nice to hear. He won't hide anything from me that he can tell me."

Zhan Yin: "......" Why did he suddenly feel like he was being fed a handful of dog food again!

"If you won't listen, I will!"

Zhan Yin got up and went to the living room. Zhan Jingting clearly didn't intend to avoid him and directly asked Jiang Dong, "Speak."

"Master Zhan, we found the driver who brought the young master to Wutong Bay. He said he was just doing his job for money."

"Whose money did you take?"

Jiang Dong hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Miss Wen Xue from the Wen family."

Zhan Jingting frowned slightly. "How could it be her?"

Zhan Yin was also stunned. "Uncle, you're in trouble! The Wen family and the Zhan family have always been sworn enemies. Now that Wen Xue has given birth to your child, the two families are even more entangled!"

“No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.” Zhan Jingting glanced at him and continued to ask Jiang Dong, “Anything else?”

Jiang Dong nodded and reported, "I found out where Miss Wen Xue has been for the past three years. She has settled abroad and there is no indication that she works anywhere."

Zhan Yin added, "With the Wen family being so wealthy, it's perfectly normal for her to secretly give birth to a child without needing to work."

"Master Zhan, Young Master Yin is right. I checked the local medical records, and there is indeed a record of her giving birth at the hospital more than two years ago, nine months after you returned to China and had the accident. At that time, Miss Wen Xue was also in the capital."

Zhan Jingting slowly closed his eyes. "So you want to tell me that this child is mine and Wen Xue's?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it is," Jiang Dong said. "Flight data shows that three days ago, Miss Wen Xue brought Young Master Eleven back to the country."

"Uncle, I remember Wen Xue is quite pretty. Isn't she the top socialite in the capital? She's beautiful and talented. Eleven was born to her, which is better than having one of those other random women. Try to think positively," Zhan Yin comforted him. "You got pregnant at a hotel, right? It's better than having a baby with a hotel employee, isn't it?"

Zhan Jingting opened his eyes, his sharp gaze slowly sweeping over him. "If you say another word, get out of here."

Zhan Yin then reluctantly shut his mouth.

Zhan Jingting's long, slender fingers lightly tapped the armrest of his wheelchair. "Where is Wen Xue?"

"She didn't go back to the Wen family after returning to China; she's staying in an apartment under her own name," Jiang Dong asked. "Master Zhan, should we prepare a car?"

"No need." Zhan Jingting smiled faintly. "She sent the child here for her own purpose, so why should I take the initiative?"

Jiang Dong nodded. "I understand."

......

After Qiao Wanwan finished eating, Zhan Yin immediately pulled her aside and told her the whole story.

“Wen Xue?” Qiao Wanwan frowned. “This name sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before… Yes, I heard it from Qiao Yuqi. She seemed to envy Wen Xue.”

"Wen Xue is a well-known top-tier rich and beautiful woman in the capital, so it's normal for Qiao Yuqi to be envious."

"So this Wen Xue is Eleven's mother?"

"Yes."

Qiao Wanwan lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Yin asked. "Are you feeling unwell? It's nothing, Wen Xue isn't as pretty as you."

“That’s not what I was thinking about.” Qiao Wanwan’s voice was muffled. “Before I didn’t know who Eleven’s mother was, I wasn’t so uncomfortable, but now that this person has appeared, I’m really uncomfortable.”

"This is normal. Most people can't accept their husband having a child with another woman. You've already shown great magnanimity by not making a big fuss."

“Making a scene won’t solve anything.” Qiao Wanwan collected her thoughts and asked, “What did Zhan Jingting say? Is he going to go find Wen Xue?”

“I also thought he was going, but he was very calm and didn’t plan to go to her.”

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "He probably doesn't want to be too passive."

"Looks like this is going to be interesting!"

......

Eleven adapted well to Wutong Bay. He was cute, talkative, and very likable, even turning the maids in the house into his fans.

After spending a few days together, Qiao Wanwan grew to like him more and more, spending most of her time playing with him every day, which made Zhan Jingting a little unhappy.

That evening, Qiao Wanwan came out of the bathroom, lay on the bed, and kissed the corner of the man's lips beside her. "Go to sleep, goodnight."

The man closed the book in his hand, turned to look at her, and said, "You spent the whole day with him and didn't spend any time with me. Now you're just going to sleep?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She belatedly realized, "Zhan Jingting, you're not jealous, are you? Jealous of a two-year-old?"

“I’m serious. I don’t plan to let him stay at home for long, so you don’t need to spoil him like this.”

For some reason, Qiao Wanwan's heart suddenly ached!

"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting noticed her expression was off and immediately asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Qiao Wanwan didn't know what was wrong with her. "Jingting, I can tell that you don't like Eleven."

“Yes.” Zhan Jingting did not deny it. “Many things are not determined by blood ties. The existence of this child may not necessarily be a good thing.”

"Is it because his mother is Wen Xue?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "I heard Zhan Yin say that the Wen family and your Qiao family are sworn enemies."

“Yes, so this matter is not that simple.” Zhan Jingting put down the book in his hand. “So Wanwan, there’s no need to pour too much affection into this child. He doesn’t belong here, nor does he belong to us.”
