Xia Xi regretted her words the moment they left her mouth. She was so nervous that she thought the child running towards her was...

Looking at Xu Yanfeng again, his eyes were full of inquiry. Xia Xi was extremely flustered. She wanted to make amends, but she didn't know how to make it up. It was obvious that Xu Yanfeng had become suspicious.

Tang Yizhou didn't even bother to eat. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and came to watch the show. He wanted to know how Xu Yanfeng would punish the woman who had abandoned him after meeting her again after many years. As he watched, he found that the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations.

He felt that something was wrong and that Xu Er was going to be in trouble again.

The atmosphere was tense. Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi stared at each other, and no one spoke again.

After a long moment, Xu Yanfeng was the first to break the silence: "Xia Xi, aren't you going to explain to me? Why are you so nervous? Why are you hiding the child's age? What are you hiding? Is she my child?"

Xia Xi's face turned pale: "No, she is not. I remembered it wrong..."

Xu Yanfeng stared into her eyes: "Really?"

The child didn't know what was going on. He grabbed Xia Xi's finger and shook it, his eyes full of curiosity: "Mom, is he my dad?"

Xu Yanfeng returned his attention to the little girl and asked with a gentleness and patience that he himself hadn't noticed: "You haven't seen your father?"

"Mom said my dad went very far away..."

Xia Xi covered Youyou's mouth in time and narrowed her eyes to remind her not to speak. Youyou was very sensible and made a "hmm" sound, closed her mouth, and blinked her clear eyes.

Xia Xi took a deep breath, and when she turned to Xu Yanfeng, her expression was much calmer than before. "Children don't understand. Mr. Xu, please don't misunderstand. I say again, she is not your child."

Just as Xu Yanfeng was about to say something, a slightly nervous voice interrupted: "Sister!"

Xia Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xia Xuan running towards her with her skirt lifted up.

When Xia Xuan saw Xu Yanfeng, her eyes widened. Isn’t he her sister’s boyfriend in college?

How did you get here?

She had just gone to the bathroom and when she returned to the banquet hall, she didn't see her sister. When she asked, she found out that a man had taken her away. She was a little worried and went to look for her.

Xu Yanfeng had come to her house when he was dating her sister, so Xia Xuan had a deep impression of him. His face was still the same, but more mature than before, his eyebrows and eyes were deeper, and his temperament was more... indifferent, with a strong aura of keeping strangers away.

It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger at the moment. Xia Xuan didn't know what they talked about, but she thought it must have been an unpleasant experience.

She was a little intimidated by Xu Yanfeng, but for her sister's sake, she mustered up the courage to stand between the two of them, forcing a smile to smooth things over: "Mr. Xu, today is my big day. If you don't mind, come in and have a drink. If there's anything... we can talk about it later, okay?"

Tang Yizhou, who was watching the fun, blinked and asked, "Who's getting married today?"

Xia Xuan didn't know why he asked that: "Of course it's me."

Xu Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes shifting back and forth between Xia Xi and Xia Xuan, and then he realized that he had misunderstood.

The two sisters look 30% or 40% similar. Wedding photos are usually over-retouched, and Xia Xuan was edited to look 70% or 80% similar to Xia Xi. At first glance, you would think the bride in the photo is Xia Xi.

It just so happens that the initials of their names are exactly the same.

Tang Yizhou also realized that he had made a mistake. He touched the tip of his nose, not daring to look at Xu Yanfeng, and glanced elsewhere.

*

Xu Yanfeng did not accept the invitation to attend the wedding, but followed Tang Yizhou to attend the full moon banquet of his cousin's child.

After watching the two men enter the elevator, Xia Xuan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Xia Xi and asked the question in her heart: "Sister, why is Xu Yanfeng here?"

Xia Xi took a step back as if she was exhausted, her back against the wall. She didn't want to say anything and shook her head.

Xia Xuan pursed her lips and tactfully stopped asking further questions.

In the elevator, Tang Yizhou put his hands in his pockets, his eyes sizing up Xu Yanfeng's unfathomable face. After careful consideration, he asked, "You haven't forgotten that bad woman Xia Xi, have you?"

Xu Yanfeng's attitude towards Xia Xi was strange. It didn't seem like he had any hatred for her, but rather that he was desperately trying to get her and was mad with jealousy. After learning that Xia Xi's wedding wasn't happening today, he felt like something had been lifted off his shoulders, and he became remarkably calm.

The more Tang Yizhou thought about it, the more he felt that something was not going right. If this continued, Xia Xi would have to use his old tricks again and play Xu Er in his hands again.

No, he couldn't allow Xu Er to fall into the same depravity as he did back then.

Xu Yanfeng didn't hear what he said at all. His mind was full of that cute little girl. Xia Xi's reaction was so strong, it was obvious that she was hiding something.

"I suspect that the child is mine." Xu Yanfeng suddenly spoke.

The elevator door opened, and Tang Yizhou retracted his foot. He twisted his neck stiffly like a robot and looked at him, then said slowly, "What did you say?"

What he really wanted to say was, are you crazy?!

Even if Xia Xi became a mother, the child couldn't possibly be Xu Yanfeng's. Had he forgotten that woman was once involved with another man, and he caught them in bed with several people watching?

No man could forgive that kind of humiliation.

"How is that possible?" Tang Yizhou said, "You must be overthinking it."

Xu Yanfeng pinched his brow, his thoughts in a mess, and he even mentioned the man's name unintentionally: "That child doesn't look like Zhou Du, he must not be his."

The man Xia Xi cheated with was Zhou Du, her childhood friend. Tang Yizhou truly admired Xu Er, completely utterly awed at how he could so calmly name the man who had cheated on him.
