Looking at the two sleeping figures on the bed, the man's eyes were filled with tenderness.

When he took Liuyin upstairs, the thing he was worried about did not happen.

He had thought that Liuyin would ask who was staying in the room, but to his surprise, she didn't even notice.

Thinking of the look of confusion on Xize's face when he asked that question earlier, Liang Nanxing smiled slightly.

That makes sense. Perhaps it's because I'm not entirely innocent that I pay so much attention to these things.

After going downstairs, Liang Nanxing called the cook and asked her to come earlier today.

Aunt Wang has been working for the Liang family for over twenty years. Now, she usually goes to Liang Nanxing's villa to cook for him three meals a day.

Because Liang Nanxing would lose track of time when he was painting, Zhong Rong was worried about her son's health, so she asked Wang Yue to cook for Liang Nanxing on time every day.

Liang Nanxing named several dishes in a row, which didn't seem to be his usual favorites, making Wang Yue very suspicious, but she didn't ask any further questions.

When she arrived at the villa with the groceries, she immediately noticed the toys on the sofa and the pink suitcase next to them.

She looks like a woman with a child? When did the young master meet someone like that?

Liang Nanxing has no interest in painting now; he used to be in his studio at this time.

But ever since he learned that Liu Yin was coming back, Liang Nanxing has been unable to calm down.

This is especially true today.

Listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, Liang Nanxing sat on the sofa with a deep gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

After Wang Yue finished cooking, she left, but couldn't help glancing at the sofa as she closed the door.

Since the suitcase is down there, where is the person? I don't know if I should mention this to my wife.

When Liuyin led Xize downstairs, they happened to see the man sitting on the sofa in a daze.

What are you thinking about?

The sudden sound brought Liang Nanxing back to his senses, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. "It's nothing, I was just wondering when you would wake up."

"Xiao Xi, are you hungry? Come and eat."

——

When Zeng finished work and went home, it was already dark.

When he pushed open the door, he was surprised to see Wen Qiuxin waiting at the dining table. He said with some helplessness, "Mom, didn't I say I would be back very late?"

"Don't wait for me to eat next time you come home late."

He never knew why his mother always did this.

He is no longer a child and no longer needs his mother to eat.

"Okay, I understand." Wen Qiuxin smiled and agreed. Most of the time, her son was very filial and caring towards her.

Except for that time.

Actually, Wen Qiuxin wanted to discuss blind dates with her son, but while waiting, she inevitably fell into memories.

Zeng Ye was an obedient child from childhood to adulthood.

He seemed to have no major flaws; he was born into a wealthy family, had loving parents, and excelled academically.

Even Wen Qiuxin thought that Zeng would always be her pride.

But in his second year of high school, he started dating a transfer student.

Wen Qiuxin was unaware of this at first; she only knew that her son's expenses had suddenly increased significantly.

But that little bit of money wasn't much, so she didn't bother with it.

Later, I learned from my friend Zhong Rong that my son had a girlfriend, because her son was also preparing gifts for that girl.

Zhong Rong asked out of curiosity, after all, she thought her son had someone he liked, but she didn't expect that the gift was actually for Zeng Ye's girlfriend.

She even teased her son at the time, urging him to find a girlfriend as soon as possible.

After hearing Zhong Rong's words, Wen Qiuxin couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, she began to pay attention to her son's behavior and realized that he wasn't actually hiding anything; she just hadn't noticed before.

After all, Zeng Ye's face was always cold and expressionless, so it was hard to tell anything unless you looked closely.

She investigated the female student; her name was Ye Liuyin.

Her parents died and left her little money. After she started dating her son, she rented an apartment with his money.

The schools they attended weren't actually very strict, since most of the students came from wealthy and powerful families, and the schools couldn't really control them much.

It was only then that Wen Qiuxin learned that her son spent every afternoon in the apartment with his girlfriend.

The people she contacted also provided a lot of photos, including pictures of the two of them shopping at the supermarket together, eating together, and kissing.

In Wen Qiuxin's eyes, this girl named Ye Liuyin was simply taking advantage of her beauty to find a sucker to support her livelihood.

She was only after Zeng Ye's money.

Zeng was indeed wealthy; during holidays, she received millions in lucky money alone, not to mention the considerable sums she and her husband also gave.

Wen Qiuxin had mentioned it to her son, both openly and subtly, but if she said anything too harsh, Zeng Ye would actually argue with her.

The first time I ever argued with her was because of her girlfriend.

Wen Qiuxin always remembered this incident.

Looking at her son sitting opposite her, Wen Qiuxin thought to herself that ten years had passed and he had matured a lot.

In a little over a year, he will be thirty years old, but he has only had one relationship, that one in high school.

Wen Qiuxin spoke cautiously, afraid of being rejected by her son.

"Xiao Ye, I recently met your Aunt Xiao's daughter while shopping. You two are the right age, why don't you meet her?"

Zeng understood his mother's meaning all too well, after all, she had been worrying about this matter all along.
