"Not going to the office today? Aren't you busy with projects lately?"

"No matter how much work there is at the company, nothing is more important than you and Lingling." Song Xia still didn't return to the master bedroom last night, which made Xie Yuan feel that keeping her occupied was the most important thing right now. Moreover, he didn't want Song Xia to continue following up on the project.

"You don't need to go to work either. Let's go together to take Lingling to her early childhood education center. I'll take you out to eat after school this afternoon."

Song Xia didn't know what he was up to, but he was much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Yuefen. If he were there, she was afraid that Aunt Liu and Liu Qian wouldn't be able to handle him, so she readily agreed. Besides, if Xie Yuan didn't go to the company, Uncle Liang and Uncle Meng could also obtain more evidence smoothly.

“Great, Lingling will be very happy.”

These past few days, Zhang Yuefen and Xie Chuancai have rarely caused trouble at home, which has made Lingling much happier, and she is no longer as timid towards Xie Yuan as before.

Most children hope for loving parents and a harmonious family, so Lingling was especially happy when Song Xia and Xie Yuan took her out together.

She held Song Xia's hand in one hand and Xie Yuan's hand in the other, skipping and hopping all the way.

Then, by sheer coincidence, they ran into Zuo Shan with Xie Tianci at the entrance of the early childhood education center.

Xie Yuan's expression changed almost immediately. He believed that Zuo Shan wouldn't do anything reckless, but his son Tianci knew nothing about it.

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach suddenly hurts a bit. You take Lingling in first, I'm going to the bathroom." Xie Yuan fled in a panic. How could he have forgotten about this?

His silhouette did not escape Zuo Shan's notice; he received a message from her while he was in the bathroom.

Then, upon exiting, they saw Zuo Shan talking to Song Xia.

"This must be your husband, Sister Song?" Zuo Shan pretended to be meeting Xie Yuan for the first time. "Mr. Xie looks very handsome. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." During the handshake, Xie Yuan gave Zuo Shan a wink.

But Zuo Shan pretended not to see it and continued to praise Song Xia's clothes, shoes and bags: "Sister Song has such good taste, unlike me, I can never shop well on my own. My husband bought and matched all of my outfits."

"Then your husband must love you very much." Song Xia calmly watched Zuo Shan and Xie Yuan act out their drama.

"Yes, he's always done that very well." Zuo Shan glanced at Xie Yuan subtly, then playfully tossed her hair.

Then she complained in a coquettish tone, "But he's just too busy, he doesn't have much time to spend with me and our son."

“He’s busy because of you guys.” Song Xia agreed, going along with her thoughts.

“That’s true.” Zuo Shan felt a surge of pleasure as she looked at Song Xia’s blank and clueless expression.

This silly woman probably doesn't realize that the husband she's talking about is the man standing beside her, and everything he's done is for her and their son.

Xie Yuan was also aroused by Zuo Shan's appearance. In the past few days, Song Xia had been spending time with Lingling at home, and he had nowhere to vent his desire. Besides, Song Xia would never be as romantic as Zuo Shan.

He had previously criticized Zuo Shan for her boldness, but now he was beginning to enjoy the pleasure.

With just one glance, Zuo Shan understood Xie Yuan's meaning, and couldn't help but feel even more smug.

Song Xia was so disgusted she could hardly stand it; that despicable couple was truly vile.

"I'm going to get a beauty treatment. Are you going to wait for me there, or do you want to wander around outside?" Song Xia made an excuse to leave.

"Let's go for a walk outside." Sure enough, Xie Yuan's answer was exactly what she had expected.

She couldn't deny it, after all, she had already arranged for a private investigator, just waiting for these two big fish to take the bait.

"Honey, I'm jealous." As soon as Song Xia left, the two met in the underground parking garage, not in Xie Yuan's car, but in Zuo Shan's.

Xie Yuan didn't say anything, but started working urgently, his movements and expression showing great eagerness.

Zuo Shan cooperated enthusiastically, skillfully adjusting the height and angle, clearly indicating that this wasn't their first time here.

She worked very hard and was very proud of herself. It seemed that Xie Yuan hadn't touched Song Xia lately, but had saved all his attention for her.

It's truly pathetic to think about Song Xia; her wedding was nothing but betrayal and scheming.

To be honest, Xie Yuan is quite scary. He is so cunning in order to avoid struggling, and he is even willing to sacrifice himself. Fortunately, he is focused on himself and his son.

Afterwards, Zuo Shan remained nestled in his arms, her face flushed: "Why did you decide to come here with Song Xia today? You didn't even tell me beforehand."

“Her attitude has been a bit strange these past few days. This is a critical time, and I need to keep her calm.”

"Keep her calm. Didn't you put in any effort in that area?" Zuo Shan asked, pouting, both jealous and sweet.

At this moment, Xie Yuan didn't hold back his sweet words: "Of course it's all for you. I wouldn't touch her if I had no other choice."

Zuo Shan chuckled: "She's willing too?"

"She takes her status as a rich young lady seriously and never takes the initiative. Of course, I'm the one who decides these things."

"At least you have a conscience." Zuo Shan became restless again.

She used to care about these things, but Xie Yuan was always better than her, and she knew she could never find anyone better than Xie Yuan. Later, with the help of money, she also became indifferent to such things. In this life, only money is the most important thing. Just consider it as Song Xia buying Xie Yuan from her with money.

"Stop messing around." Xie Yuan still wanted to, but he was powerless to do so. The troubles at work had already consumed most of his energy, and although the car was parked at the very back, it was still a shopping mall parking lot, and he was afraid that if he stayed too long, someone would find out.

After all, he is now a somewhat famous celebrity, and it would be quite troublesome if he were accidentally recognized.

Zuo Shan rarely refused his decisions, but she pleaded, "Then come to my place tonight."

Xie Yuan hesitated: "But I promised to have dinner with Song Xia tonight."

"Just say something came up at your company," Zuo Shan said, using her usual tactic. "You've accompanied her all day; she should be very happy."

"Alright." After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuan agreed. After all, Tianci was getting older, and he, as the father, needed to spend more time with him.

As for Song Xia, both of them agreed that she should be content and should be appeased, since that's always been the case.

After leaving the parking lot, the two went their separate ways. Unbeknownst to them, their despicable act had been recorded and filmed the whole time.

"Tsk... looking all respectable, playing the game quite skillfully." The man savored the results with relish, and in no time, the evidence had been sent to Song Xia and her legal team's phones.

After leaving the beauty salon, Song Xia pretended not to know anything, and was already mentally prepared for Xie Yuan's claim that there was something going on at the company.

Therefore, she said with "heartache", "Then you should go quickly. If you delay too long, you will have to stay up all night again. Next time, I will take Lingling by myself."

"Okay." Seeing that Song Xia was as usual, Xie Yuan felt relieved and drove to Zuo Shan's residence.

Little did he know that all his actions were being observed by those with ulterior motives.
