Chapter 168: Only recognize the son, not the husband

Tuanbao opened his eyes, and in his hazy vision was Jiang Xu's face.

He lowered his eyelashes shyly. Jiang Xu held him in her arms and asked softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Tuanbao lay in her arms and nodded silently.

Suddenly, he noticed something and his eyes fixed on Jiang Xu's neck.

"What's going on here?"

He pointed to a red mark on the white skin.

Jiang Xu suddenly felt embarrassed, and then he heard someone on the floor let out a low laugh.

Tuanbao looked at He Yanting curiously, then noticed something and asked, "Daddy's shoulder was bitten. Who bit it?"

He Yanting pursed his lips and smiled: "The puppy bit it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pillow flew towards him.

He Yanting seemed to have anticipated this and successfully dodged it by turning his head.

Tuanbao was confused and blinked his clear eyes. "Is there a puppy here?"

Jiang Xu's back teeth were grinding loudly. "There's no puppy, but there is an old dog sitting on the ground."

He Yanting raised his eyebrows: "Old? I'm still young and strong now. Wasn't what I proved last night enough?"

"What did you say in front of the child?"

The blush on Jiang Xu's face spread all the way to the tips of her ears.

He Yanting spread his hands, looking innocent: "I said that I was holding Tuanbao all the way last night, which means that I am fine. What are you talking about?"

Jiang Xu: “…”

Just keep pretending!

She ignored him angrily and helped Tuanbao put on his clothes.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Xu wondered who it was so early in the morning. He Yanting said, "It's Gao Cheng."

He stood up and went out, taking the two full bags from Gao Cheng.

Inside were his and Tuanbao's toiletries, two sets of simple clothes for each, as well as pajamas and blankets.

Jiang Xu's eyes widened as he watched.

He Yanting placed the toiletries on the sink while explaining, "Tuanbao will have to come to your place often in the future. This will make it more convenient."

Jiang Xu frowned: "I understand that Tuanbao's things are placed here, but why are yours placed here? Did I ever say you're welcome to come?"

He Yanting's face was thicker than a city wall. He smiled and said, "I'm his father. It's normal for him to live here."

Normal, what's normal?

Just as she was about to retort, her cell phone rang.

Jiang Xu walked to the living room to answer the phone. Chi Xiaoli's voice came from the inside: "Xubao, Mr. Yuan's assistant just confirmed the interview time with me. Oh my god, I feel like I'm dreaming!"

Hearing her happy tone, Jiang Xu was happy from the bottom of his heart, "Congratulations."

Chi Xiaoli said, "Did you ask Mr. He what he likes last night? I have to give him this gift."

Jiang Xu hesitated: "He said there's no need to send it."

"Why? It's a big favor anyway."

As Chi Xiaoli was speaking, an idea suddenly struck her. She lowered her voice and asked, "Were you two together last night?"

Jiang Xu remained silent.

"Oh my god, Xubao!"

Chi Xiaoli yelled, "Could it be that Mr. He asked you to repay a favor for me?"

Jiang Xu held his forehead. This woman was always smart when she shouldn't be smart.

"I was right, wasn't I?"

Chi Xiaoli's tone was full of gossip, and she feigned guilt. "Oh, Xubao, I never thought you were so loyal, sacrificing your looks to repay my debt of gratitude. Don't worry, I, Chi Xiaoli, will always remember this friendship!"

"You must have been very tired last night, right? I won't disturb your rest."

Chi Xiaoli looked as if she understood. "We haven't seen each other for four years, and we're still very passionate. Your Mr. He is obviously a big man. You guys..."

Click!

Jiang Xu couldn't stand it anymore and hung up.

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself down, she turned and went to the bathroom, only to find that He Yanting had already packed up Tuanbao.

"Go wash up, I'll make breakfast."

He Yanting went to the kitchen.

While brushing her teeth, Jiang Xu looked towards the living room. Tuanbao climbed onto the sofa and sat down, swinging his chubby legs. In the kitchen, a tall and long-legged man was busy.

For some reason, I feel a warm feeling.

She was startled by the thought and quickly shook her head to get rid of the feeling.

He Yanting rummaged around in the kitchen for a long time, but only found two packets of instant noodles and a dozen eggs, which he made into a makeshift meal.

Tuanbao stared at the instant noodles with a look of curiosity: "What is this?"

Jiang Xu was very embarrassed: "I don't have much food here. If Tuanbao can't get used to it, let's go out to eat."

Tuanbao leaned in to smell it and nodded, "It smells good."

He Yanting served him a small bowl and he started eating by himself.

Jiang Xu sighed silently. This child is so well-behaved and sensible.

After breakfast, they prepared to go out.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Xu rushed ahead, opened the door a crack, and stretched his neck to look outside.

The people living upstairs and downstairs here are all colleagues from the company. If someone saw He Yanting coming out of her room early in the morning, the company group would definitely explode.

After making sure that no one was around, she said calmly, "You guys wait here, I'll press the elevator."

He Yanting and Tuanbao hid behind the door.

Tuanbao asked doubtfully, "Dad, are we playing hide-and-seek?"

He Yanting curled his lips and glanced at the figure not far away: "Yes."

There was no one in the elevator, and Jiang Xu waved to He Yanting.

Seeing her sneaky behavior, He Yanting was a little annoyed: "What on my body can you not show off?"

But she pretended not to hear and did not answer.

The elevator went down two floors and stopped. The elevator door opened and two young girls walked in.

"Dr. Jiang, we went to look for you last night, but you didn't seem to be at home."

Jiang Xu smiled calmly: "Something happened last night."

The two girls looked at Tuanbao and said, "Oh, what a cute little kid."

One of them reached out and wanted to touch Tuanbao.

Tuanbao subconsciously hid beside Jiang Xu and grabbed her clothes tightly.

The girl asked in surprise: "Dr. Jiang, is this child with you?"

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Yes, he is my son."

"I didn't expect you to be so young and have a child this big. But the child is so cute!"

As they spoke, they looked at He Yanting again.

The two girls didn't dare to look directly at He Yanting because he was tall and handsome, and had a very strong aura.

The two men winked at each other in the reflection of the elevator door.

One of them asked, "Dr. Jiang, is this gentleman your..."

Jiang Xu said: "I don't know him."

He Yanting:?

The girl mustered up her courage and said to He Yanting, "Sir, are you single? If so, how about we add each other on WeChat?"

He Yanting glanced at Jiang Xu and twitched his lips slightly: "I am married, but my wife ran away from home, and I have been busy chasing her recently."

The girl was surprised and asked, "You are so handsome, but your wife ran away from home?"

He Yanting nodded: "Not only did she run away from home, she also pretended not to know me."

The two girls were filled with indignation: "Oh my God, this is too much!"

Jiang Xu held his forehead helplessly.

He Yanting raised the corner of his mouth: "Yeah, that's too much. What do you think I should do?"

The girl said, "If it really doesn't work out, then divorce. There are plenty of fish in the sea!"

He Yanting shrugged: "No, I can't live without her."

These words almost made the two girls drop their jaws in shock.

What else did you want to ask? With a ding, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

They said to Jiang Xu, "Dr. Jiang, we're leaving first."

Jiang Xu nodded: "Goodbye."

The two girls walked a distance away, and one of them suddenly stopped and said, "Why do I feel like I've seen that handsome guy before somewhere?"

Another asked, "Could it be a big star?"

"No, I'm just familiar with it."

She pointed to a financial magazine in the display window of a roadside bookstore. The man on the cover had three-dimensional eyebrows and deep facial features.

"It's him, the president of Shengyu Group, He Yanting!"

"Oh my god, He Yanting is still chasing after a wife? What level of beauty does his wife have to be? Is she prettier than Dr. Jiang?"

"Oh my God, I also want such a handsome, rich and loyal husband!"

—

"Hiss—be gentle!"

Downstairs of the apartment building, as soon as he got into the car, He Yanting's face suddenly changed.

Looking down at the delicate hand tightly pinching his forearm, his face was full of helplessness.

Jiang Xu said expressionlessly, "Who told you to talk so much just now?"

He Yanting grabbed her wrist and asked, "Who told you to only recognize your son and not your husband?"

"Who said you are my husband? Do we have a marriage certificate?"

Jiang Xu responded sharply.

Suddenly, a childish voice sounded: "Can you please stop arguing? Childish or not, An An and I will never be like you."

The two of them looked at Tuanbao, who had a serious face, and fell silent.

He coughed dryly, let go of his hands, and sat up straight.

Tuanbao shook his head and sighed.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Jiang Xu and He Yanting got out of the car to take Tuanbao inside.

Around them, other children waved to their families: "Goodbye, Mom and Dad."

Tuanbao looked at them, then looked at He Yanting: "Goodbye, Dad."

Then, he looked at Jiang Xu again.

He opened his mouth, but the words seemed to be on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't utter them.

Jiang Xu knew that he hadn't fully opened his heart yet, so she bent down and touched his face: "Don't force yourself, just go in."

Tuanbao's face showed some loss and self-blame. He looked at her deeply and pursed his lips, "Goodbye."

Then he turned and walked into the kindergarten.

Jiang Xu felt complicated as he watched the cute little figure walk into the teaching building.

A big hand patted her back gently.

The magnetic voice was soothing: "Take your time, don't rush."

Afterwards, He Yanting sent her to the company. As soon as she got off the car, her cell phone rang. He Yanting transferred some money to her.

I counted it and it was two hundred thousand.

Note: I'll compensate you for the skirt.

Jiang Xu didn't bother to be polite and directly clicked to receive the payment.
