Chapter 13 The father is certain he used protection every time in the past…

13

This was the first time in Ning Ye's memory that she had ever spent money without having to think about it at all.

Although she mostly bought things with Bian Xun's card to raise her child, it undeniably improved her life and, most importantly, gave her a sense of security.

Now Taobao dares to promote even products worth hundreds of thousands of yuan to her, it's really flattering! Ning Ye righteously and sternly clicked "favorite".

On this night of passionate pre-sale orders, Ning Ye held Ning Zhitao's chubby little hand in one hand and Bian Xun's black card in the other.

Making a good life for our family of three is more important than anything else.

The next day at the company, the team leader led us to a routine meeting.

Upon hearing about the smart eco-friendly home park opening next week, Ning Ye paused, remembering this matter.

The park behind the main building of Wujiang Group has been transformed into an ecological digital and intelligent hub, integrating technology and nature and incorporating smart home products among green plants and birds, resembling a large garden. It will also be open to primary and secondary schools and kindergartens around the group, and several primary schools have already designated it as a destination for their children's autumn outings.

Xia Lu Kindergarten is among them.

This means that Tao Tao will finally see her living father.

But this also means that the actress's son, Gu Zixun, will also appear.

Ning Ye remembered the plot being described as follows: after the movie queen's son joined Wujiang Group, he showed exceptional intelligence. While other kindergarten children were observing flowers, birds, and fish, Gu Zixun displayed remarkable comprehension of technological products, leaving a deep impression on Bian Xun.

Just as he was leaving, the little boy suddenly hugged Bian Xun's leg, crying and asking if he was his father—making the handsome man, who was always as cold and aloof as a glacier, show signs of melting for the first time.

In contrast, Ning Zhitao in the story appears to be eccentric, bad-tempered, capricious, and cunning.

"Nonsense," Ning Ye thought, "how could her child be happy?"

Her father was taken by another child, and there's a high chance he doesn't even recognize her anymore.

Ning Ye's slender, fair fingers unconsciously tightened around the pen in her hand. Thinking of Ning Zhitao's always smiling face, which always showed a sad and aggrieved expression, she felt uneasy.

She wouldn't target other people's children. She didn't understand this before she had children, but now Ning Ye knows that children's words, actions, and thoughts are a projection of their parents' personalities. She wouldn't do anything to Gu Zixun, but she also couldn't just stand by and watch others take advantage of Ning Zhitao.

After the meeting ended, Ning Ye returned to her workstation and, under the cover of the monitor, took out her food delivery app and made several purchases, further fueling her rebellious spirit.

Then I filled in the company's front desk address, wrote Bian Xun as the recipient, and filled in Assistant Zhang's mobile phone number.

Half an hour later.

Assistant Zhang carried the takeout bag up to the 30th floor with a serious expression.

In the large, cold, and deserted CEO's office, Bian Xun sat back in a black leather chair with his arms crossed, his eyes slightly closed.

A faint shadow hung beneath those long, sharp black eyes; the CEO must not have slept well last night. The person who stole the funds was still at large, and the bank manager had been scheduling appointments to apologize every day, but the CEO refused to see him.

At this moment, there is a proposal for the autumn outing for primary and secondary school students in the ecological park on his desk.

Assistant Zhang knew that President Bian had always disliked children, but this project had been approved before he was parachuted into the position, so it couldn't be canceled.

Of course, from Assistant Zhang's personal perspective, Zhang Sijie and her good friends were really looking forward to this autumn outing, and he didn't want it to be canceled.

"Mr. Bian, here are your things." Assistant Zhang opened the takeout bag and handed it over.

Although it didn't look like something the CEO had bought, similar incidents had happened before, so Assistant Zhang dutifully brought it up.

Bian Xun looked up and subconsciously glanced at his phone.

He is now wary of anything that suddenly appears.

However, no bill appeared on my phone.

"?" Bian Xun then took it.

Inside were several popular science books and a few packets of craft materials, all labeled with titles such as "Scientific Inventions," "One Minute to Make Boys Love Science," "100 Things Dads Can Teach Their Sons," and "Children's Science Fiction Bedtime Stories"...

Bian Xun stared blankly for a long time, his eyes revealing obvious meanness and impatience. "—Burn it."

If any child is so passionate about technology, I suggest the parents donate 100 million yuan to them for research and development.

"Okay." Assistant Zhang, as expected, slowly withdrew.

Bian Xun frowned, his cold white fingertips tapping the sandalwood tabletop.

Quite inexplicably, his life suddenly became filled with many "children".

He, who had always been completely detached from children, has recently been inexplicably exposed to a lot of information about children.

Why does Ning Ye want to buy children's products?

Although there is still one last step that has not been confirmed, if she really is the one who swiped the card, what connection could she possibly have with the child?

This is the part of the whole affair that Bian Xun finds most difficult to convince himself of.

Bian Xun's eyes slid to the calendar on the table.

He was certain that he had strictly followed precautions during every sexual encounter in the past. He checked for any damage after removing the condom and after taking it off; the procedure was correct, and there was no possibility of unintended pregnancy.

So first of all, it's impossible for her and him to have a child.

Secondly, Ning Ye hadn't had a boyfriend in all these years—Bian Xun was well aware of this. As for other possibilities, Bian Xun didn't want to think about them, nor did he allow them to happen.

But deep down, Bian Xun always felt that some force was pushing him to discover something.

…It's Friday again today.

In the autumn evening, night had already fallen early.

His physiological functions still responded and stirred almost habitually.

Bian Xun suddenly grabbed the light purple earphone case beside him and held it in his palm. Although his expression remained cold and indifferent, the light blue veins on the back of his hand throbbed for a moment.

He had already verified the serial number of this headset. The Cloud Sound Pro, developed and manufactured by Wujiang, has anti-counterfeiting technology, so each unit's serial number should be unique.

Unless there is external intervention.

He stood up, picked up a testing instrument from Wujiang (a Chinese technology platform), and strode out of the office.

As soon as the elevator to the business unit floor opened, I saw Ning Ye, who was leaving get off work, carrying her bag and hurrying down the stairs towards the back door of the group's main building, the location of the parking lot entrance.

Her crystal grape-shaped handbag and pale purple headphones hung outside the bag, swaying gently as she walked.

Bian Xun followed behind her down to the first floor through the back door. He was tall and had long legs, and in a few steps he stopped the figure. Amid Ning Ye's startled exclamation, he grabbed her new earphones and pressed them against the detector.

drop.

Serial number verification.

It's exactly the same as the one he has in his hand.

Bian Xun slowly raised his dark eyes.

When Ning Ye turned around, she saw countless unfathomable emotions in his eyes, like a deep sea with surging waves, as if it wanted to swallow her whole. It was hard to tell whether it was hidden anger or excitement.

What happened now?

Ning Ye had no idea what he was up to, but a horn sounded softly from the parking lot exit not far behind her, signaling to her.

Looking back, it was Jiang Xinghe.

She had asked him for a favor, and now she was rushing to pick up Tao Tao to go to the children's hospital because Teacher Youzi had sent her a message before she got off work saying that the baby's tooth hurt a little, and Ning Zhi Tao's voice did sound a bit muffled.

But just as they reached the door, the child's father stopped them.

Bian Xun's gaze shifted from the distant car back to his face, and his expression slowly turned grim.

Ning Ye finally understood what it felt like to have a terrible partner in a marriage where the spouse is essentially a deadbeat.

But she didn't know that the urgency in her almond-shaped eyes meant something completely different to Bian Xun.

Ning Ye ignored him and pushed him away, walking out.

"Fine," came Bian Xun's cold voice through slightly gritted teeth from behind, "You can compare them carefully."

Which type of man is better?

In the end, we'll still have to use his money anyway.

...

--"What?!"

Back in the office, Assistant Zhang suddenly stood up: "You mean, you already know who stole the funds?"

"Then, should I contact the police now to locate the suspect and begin the arrest?"

“No need,” Bian Xun suddenly said.

The aloof man closed his eyes indifferently, glancing at his phone every now and then, his demeanor completely composed.

The car that picked her up outside wasn't bad, but it was just average.

Meanwhile, the core department of Bian Xun's group has raised 8 billion yuan through a rights issue for its latest chip research and development project.

This is the real highlight of Boundless.

It is also where the true foundation for the future wealth of this generation of leaders lies.

Ning Ye's small-scale dealings of a few hundred thousand last night were of no concern to him. As long as people were under his control, it didn't matter.

Looking at the silent, commanding presence emanating from the man, Assistant Zhang understood that the boss already knew what to do and how to deal with the other party.

A weight lifted from his heart, and he smiled slightly. "Mr. Over there, what else is planned for today?"

Bian Xun glanced at his phone again and said indifferently, "Go home."

Assistant Zhang happily agreed and chatted a bit more, "My wife at home is really pressuring me to come back and pay. My daughter has a good friend who buys whatever Tao Tao buys, so she has to buy the same thing too."

These words somehow hit the CEO's sweet spot.

He raised a slight brow, his lips curling indifferently, and said, "Can't my wife pay for it herself?"

So you have to spend your partner's money, right?

Assistant Zhang picked up his briefcase and smiled helplessly: "Yes, because the final payment is quite large."

Bian Xun paused, then raised his dark eyes, "Final payment?"

Assistant Zhang realized that President Bian would certainly not participate in ordinary people's shopping activities, and of course he would not know anything about deposits and final payments.

"The deposit is to reserve the item, it's about thirty or fifty yuan. Tonight is when we'll actually pay the balance..."

Assistant Zhang has left.

After sitting quietly for two seconds, Bian Xun suddenly stood up and strode a few steps outside.

It was too late.

Mobile phone bill text messages have arrived like snowflakes.

Within seven steps, more than a dozen text messages, tens of millions vanished into thin air.

…

Ning Ye quickly took Tao Tao back home. The child was fine; she had just eaten too many sweets because no one was watching her all the time. Ning Ye also bought a few tubes of children's toothpaste when she went shopping.

Of course, it was all paid for by my incompetent teammates.

Swipe, swipe, swipe! Dozens of orders pay the final payment at the same time, one-click ordering.

A robot vacuum cleaner costing 3288 yuan, a lingerie washing machine costing 1499 yuan, and other miscellaneous items...

I bought them all at once!

Cool.

In the lingering afterglow of the shopping trip, Ning Ye suddenly remembered that the things she bought with Bian Xun's card would likely be received by him as well.

So what? Bian Xun still doesn't know who gave it to him.

Those are all gifts from God.

Ning Ye walked out of the room in a good mood, stood on the balcony, and looked peacefully at the clear night sky.

Honey, Taobao has fallen from the sky!
