Chapter 3 Who is your son's father?

Li Mai had anticipated that her boss would ask, and had already prepared an excuse.

"Nothing much happened. I worked at Rongzheng Suzhou branch for a while, and General Manager Zhou happened to be there at the time, so we worked together for a period of time."

"However, I didn't know he was the heir of the Zhou family at that time."

"Yeah?"

"Um."

"Then why does your son look so much like him?"

Li Mai was startled, her almond-shaped eyes widening.

"President Ji, don't talk nonsense. How is it similar? Not at all! If the young master knew, he would think I was trying to scam him."

Ji Wangyu met Chengcheng in Suzhou last year.

Chengcheng was sick and didn't go to kindergarten that day. There was no one at home to take care of him, and she was too busy, so she took her son to the company, where Ji Wangyu saw him.

Ji Wangyu knew she had a son.

It's written in my personal file.

I even held Chengcheng and played with him for a while.

Actually, Chengcheng doesn't resemble Zhou Songyan much; he resembles her more.

Ji Wangyu's peach blossom eyes were fixed on Li Mai, as if he wanted to see right through her.

Who is your son's father?

He knew that Li Mai was unmarried and had a child out of wedlock.

Li Mai: "President Ji, this is my private matter, and I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay, I won't ask for the name. Is the child's father dead or alive?"

Li Mai: "..."

After hesitating for a long time, she answered, "Dead."

Anyway, it's no different from being dead.

She also doesn't plan to let her son acknowledge Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan will get married and have children in the future.

Chengcheng belongs to her alone.

Ji Wangyu was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go out."

...

Beijing has been experiencing continuous rain lately.

It started raining again just as I was about to leave work.

Li Mai did not bring an umbrella.

It's hard to get a taxi when it rains.

Li Mai checked the ride-hailing app several times, but no car accepted her order.

She glanced at the rain and gritted her teeth as she ran toward the bus stop.

By the time I got there, my suit jacket was soaked.

She took it off and held it in her hand.

She was only wearing the white shirt underneath.

On rainy days, buses are slow.

Li Mai sat on a bench on the platform and waited.

Suddenly a black Maybach stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Ji Wangyu's handsome face.

"Get in the car."

Li Mai waved her hand: "President Ji, no need, I'll take the bus."

"With such heavy rain and rush hour, it will take a long time for the buses to arrive."

Li Mai was thinking about picking up her son from her senior's house.

So he didn't refuse anymore.

I picked up my bag, walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

She wouldn't dare let her boss be her driver and sit in the passenger seat.

As soon as I sat down, a series of urgent horn blared from behind.

Ji Wangyu turned his head and glanced at it.

It's a limited edition Bentley.

People who drive this kind of car in Beijing are generally not ordinary people.

Such a hurry, he's probably some rich kid who stole his dad's car to go out for a drive.

Ji Wangyu originally wanted to get out of the car and teach the other party a lesson, but then thought better of it.

If we argue on a rainy day, it will cause a traffic jam on this road.

Li Mai fastened her seatbelt: "Mr. Ji, could you please take me to Guanlan Residential Area?"

Ji Wangyu started the car.

I asked casually, "Do you live over there?"

"No, my friend lives there. I left my son at her house and asked her to look after him. I'm going to pick him up now."

Ji Wangyu knew that Li Mai was raising her child alone and also had to go to work.

It's not easy.

He was driving along when the Bentley suddenly changed lanes and sped in front of him, startling him.

He frowned: "Is this guy crazy? Can't he even drive?"

Li Mai glanced ahead and saw a Bentley.

I'm amazed at how many wealthy people there are in Beijing!

The light turned green.

The Bentley sped away, kicking up a huge splash of water.

...

Zhou Songyan felt like he was going crazy.

It's been five years.

He thought his resentment towards Li Mai had long since disappeared.

But when he saw her again, his heart, which had finally calmed down, was thrown into turmoil once more.

He was ill, but he drove over to stay with the Ji family for two consecutive days.

I didn't get to see Li Mai yesterday.

Today, the day has finally arrived.

But then she got into Ji Wangyu's car.

What is her relationship with Ji Wangyu?

Zhou Songyan was extremely agitated.

In a moment of loss of control, I honked the horn several times.

He even accelerated and changed lanes to run in front of Ji Wangyu's car.

This is not like him.

That woman, Li Mai, is vain. Why did he lose control because of her?

Zhou Songyan parked his car on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.

It was pouring rain outside the window.

The car was filled with smoke.

...

The car is almost at Guanlan Residential Area.

Li Mai: "President Ji, just drop me off at the entrance of the residential area in a bit."

Ji Wangyu: "It's raining so hard, tell me which building you're in, and I'll take you inside."

"No need to trouble yourself."

"I've already brought you back, what's a few more steps?"

Li Mai didn't stand on ceremony and told him the building number.

Upon arriving at the residential compound, Ji Wangyu reported to the security guard and then drove the car into the compound.

"Mr. Ji, this is the building."

Ji Wangyu stopped the car.

Li Mai unbuckled her seatbelt, turned around and thanked him: "President Ji, thank you for today!"

Ji Wangyu: "I only brought you this because the rain was too heavy."

Li Mai paused for a moment and then smiled: "Yes, I am very grateful to President Ji, otherwise I would not be back now."

"Mr. Ji, please be careful on your way."

Ji Wangyu waved his hand: "Get out of the car, I'm in a hurry to get home."

Li Mai hurriedly got out of the car and ran into the building.

...

You Huan noticed that her clothes were all wet.

Take her bag and coat, hang the bag up, and throw the clothes in the washing machine.

"Go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."

Li Mai didn't stand on ceremony and headed towards the bathroom.

"Senior, could you please take care of Chengcheng for me today? It's raining so hard outside, Chengcheng and I can't leave tonight, so we'll have to rely on you."

You Huan: "I wish I could. If you hadn't insisted on moving out, I would have loved to live with you."

It would be so nice to live with Li Mai.

Li Mai eagerly took the initiative to clean.

She cooks delicious food.

It's more reliable than finding a man.

"Wait, I'll get you your clothes."

Li Mai's clothes were moved away.

You Huan found a set of her own pajamas for Li Mai.

After taking a bath, Li Mai told Chengcheng a picture book story for a while.

The little one fell asleep while listening.

Li Mai put down the picture book, looked at her son's sleeping face, and felt a wave of tenderness wash over her.

She promised to find Chengcheng a father.

Now I'm about to break my promise.
