Chapter 40 Father's Status Rises Because of Daughter? Child's Mother's Ruthless Actions (Double Update...)

40

In the darkness, I searched and knew clearly.

I should restrain myself.

At the very least, one shouldn't appear too impulsive.

The worst thing you can do is to appear unable to control your emotions.

It was as if he had never escaped the dream he had from six years ago.

But at this moment, the warm breath and the skin enveloping him, everything.

He fell vertically into countless dreams.

Like the dim and chaotic atmosphere of a dream, the room was dark, the curtains were drawn, and the light and air felt heavy and damp, lurking in the gloom.

He couldn't see any details in front of him.

As a result, touch and breathing become more distinct.

Bian Xun was breathing heavily.

His breathing was silent, and he didn't seem very excited; only his chest occasionally brushed against her as it rose and fell.

Her palm still covered his lips, searching for the unspoken words, as if there was no need to ask again—

He felt a slight thirst in his throat.

What else could they be like now?

Bian Xun smiled silently, restraining himself and remaining calm.

This time, at a different time and in a different place, everything was no longer his fixed routine, but the abandoned order began to be rebuilt.

He closed his eyes, his palms burning hot, but his movements remained methodical, and he even chuckled softly, "In a hurry?"

She nodded honestly, then lingered on him shyly, "I'm in a hurry!"

Bian Xun's dark eyes were filled with water, so deep that they blended into the night.

He had a precise grasp of timing, knowing there was enough time for the prelude, so he forced himself to hold back, tilting his head back to trace her expression in the dim light.

How urgent?

"Let me see."

After saying that, he let his Adam's apple bob.

Ning Ye's cheeks flushed red, realizing that the other person was teasing her for not being reserved.

But Ning Ye was very open-minded. Both of them had clear goals and knew what they were doing, all for the sake of Tao Tao's safe delivery.

Otherwise, given their previous relationship, they would never have ended up together.

So Ning Ye blushed and gently patted his shoulder, as if silently saying: Don't laugh at me.

It has the weight of a kitten scratching you.

Some people's Adam's apples bobbed even more violently.

The feeling of being actively scratched was incredibly pleasurable, but even though his back was numb, the strength in his arms as he held her up was still astonishing.

Despite the pounding of my heart, it felt steady and firm, as if I had complete control over the whole situation.

There is no light indoors.

She looked down and couldn't see his face; only the ends of her hair, like countless fingertips, scattered across his body, like the intertwined threads of their destinies, about to intersect at this moment—

A lovely, round intersection.

So she leaned down and, in the blurry interplay of their bodies, touched his ear.

This initial initiative, though seemingly small, quickly escalated into complete madness.

Bian Xun maintained a restrained expression in the darkness.

The curves beneath the palm, the warm, smooth touch of the fingertips, ignite a deep-seated, cherished memory.

As the delicate jasmine fragrance begins to intensify, the cool, ethereal sandalwood essence within him transforms into burning incense, releasing boundless hormones that permeate every inch of space.

The man remained silent, his nasal passages flaring as he took deep breaths, seemingly suffocating at times. He clenched his throat tightly, raising his hand to turn on the light, illuminating the room.

But she was held down by a pair of slender, gentle arms.

"don't want…."

That gentleness, like water, seemed to melt into the night, while the flowing water moved like fireflies under the moon, transforming into boundless arcs of light that enveloped and enveloped him.

It seems capable of bearing any weight.

He did not respond, yet the force was simply uncontrollable, barely balancing between violence and beauty, violently shattering more syllables.

Yet, like a blind man touching an elephant, he was constantly trying to decipher her every reaction, attempting to piece together a complete and vivid picture in the darkness.

You can't see her eyes, but you can hear her soft, murmured voice.

You can't see her flushed skin, but you can feel the slippery damp clothes beneath her thin layer of sweat.

Immersed in it, it's flowing.

His jaw tightened, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Ning Ye gradually lost her senses amidst the earth-shattering impact, her pupils slightly dilated due to the intense and scattered nerve signals, her thoughts fragmented amidst the surging senses.

Flexed position... Lateral lying position...

Rear position...

Which one is more scientific...?

She approached things with an academic rigor, but her vast knowledge was burned to ashes by years of unfulfilled passion, and she had no idea how much time had passed.

Only in the dim light could his eyes, glistening with sweat like obsidian, shine through.

Just before release, Ning Ye struggled to hold onto his arm, and when she spoke, she found her voice had become soft and weak.

"...supporting me."

She asked him to support her waist with his arms, raising her buttocks off the ground.

Flowing into the depths.

Those three short words nearly caused the entire situation to collapse, leading to a complete surrender and the exposure of almost all of his restrained emotions.

In that instant when they met.

He was completely infatuated.

Ning Ye finally let out a long, relieved sigh amidst the lingering aftertaste, her heart swelling with a bittersweet feeling.

Joy, peace, and emotion^^

…

He managed to fall into a deep sleep, a rare occurrence for him.

The two hours leading up to midnight were a frenzy of typing everything into his phone.

The man's brow bone and nose undulated in the pillow's indentation; his eyes were closed, and his breathing was deep and even, revealing a relaxed expression.

He had a dream.

In his dream, he was still on campus, in front of the familiar, weathered school gate. The girl in his sight was slender and stubborn, with slightly red almond-shaped eyes. She wasn't very strong, and her voice wasn't loud, but she still managed to break free from his hand little by little.

The empty feeling in his palm was etched deep in his mind. The girl turned and walked away from him, her back still clear, just like the bitterness and resentment in his heart that had not faded over the years, and the hidden anger in his heart.

However, this time, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around.

The stubborn, sorrowful face was gone; her neat ponytail had been replaced by a loose bun tucked behind her ears. She was beautiful and gentle, smiling as she returned and threw herself into his arms.

The embrace filled his chest tightly, so that they were completely sealed together, as if no time could pass between them.

From boyfriend to a more distant place.

This subtle, pleasant sensation is like the lingering afterglow of an orgasm.

So much so that when Bian Xun woke up, the corners of his lips were still curled up.

The room had no windows open, and after a night, the air felt heavy and stagnant, like the final slumber of an intense, intertwined night.

The sky darkened.

The next morning.

The blankets covering him were in disarray. Bian Xun smiled silently, turned around contentedly, and intended to scoop something into his arms.

However, when I turned around, the other side of the bed was empty.

The man paused, frowned, and sat up in bed. Then he remembered that the child was still next door, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

It's just morning, she should be going to see the children.

Bian Xun casually slipped on some loungewear, grabbed his shirt, and walked naked out of the bedroom.

The room was completely quiet.

Yesterday, Ning Zhitao was so pleased with her father's performance at the sports meet that she asked to go to her father's house to play.

As they searched, they began to scrutinize the house.

The apartment is quite spacious, but the bedrooms have all been combined into one, resulting in a simple functional layout. There is no children's room or family play area.

Looks like I need to move.

Would she be willing to move in with us?

Bian Xun recalled her performance and reaction last night, and the corners of her lips curled up even more.

It's impossible that they wouldn't want to.

It's not like she doesn't have needs.

…so wet.

The president took a deep breath and felt that the morning air was very refreshing.

The CEO decided to treat the world kindly for a day, calmly placed his hand on the doorknob, pulled it open, and smiled.

"woke up--"

The words had barely left his lips when no one was in the room.

The two children, one big and one small, are no longer in the house.

The child's pillow was straightened, the blanket was folded into a neat square by the adults, and the few picture books scattered on the floor were placed in the correct positions.

He paused for a moment, his brow furrowing deeply.

What's the meaning.

The heatwave last night and the chill of this moment create a stark contrast.

Bian Xun looked around the house before he was truly certain.

Afterwards, instead of waking up in each other's arms, she simply turned around and left.

What's the meaning?

Is it heartless to pull out x?

Bian Xun's dark eyes were cold and deep. He turned around and went back to the bedside in the bedroom. He picked up his phone and saw that Ning Ye had indeed left him a message.

There was nothing ambiguous or romantic about it; her tone was light and gentle.

【Bianxun, I'll take Taotao home first to change her clothes before going to kindergarten.】

Thank you for yesterday!

What are you thanking me for?

[I used your place again this time, but I definitely won't need to do that again in the future~ About ten days after this, I'll go to the hospital for a blood test to check my HCG levels to see if they've increased. I'll just let you know if I need you to bring Tao Tao over. You can come anytime you want to see Tao Tao~]

If you have any further questions, let's discuss them in more detail~ I'll reply as soon as I see it [rose emoji]

Bian Xun, with a cold expression, finally slowly understood what the other party meant.

The man walked into the bathroom with a cold expression.

There were water droplets and condensation on the glass in the shower area, indicating that Ning Ye had cleaned herself before leaving.

But when he looked down at the ground, there wasn't a drop of water on the slippery tiles; they had been wiped clean.

It's inevitable that a few strands of hair will fall out in the bathroom after a girl has used it, but the sink and the drain in the shower room were spotless, with all the fallen hair meticulously cleaned up.

Even the bags in the trash cans were replaced with new ones.

She respected his germaphobia to the greatest extent possible.

And they carefully expressed their sense of boundaries.

This sense of alienation felt more like someone who had stayed overnight than someone who had just finished.

Bian Xun stared blankly for a long time, his jawline tightening, and the color in his eyes shifting and dark.

After the president finished washing his face, he walked naked to the mirror, heated the mirror to remove the moisture, and then he saw his strong left abs with a few cat-like scratch marks on them.

It was especially noticeable in front of the mirror; as he searched for the spot, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Then, closing his eyes, he felt a pang of sympathy and decided to forgive her.

She was probably just embarrassed.

After six years apart, how can we face each other when we open our eyes and embrace again?

The president smiled calmly, turned around and walked out.

He was so fierce yesterday... He actually wanted to give her a day off.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the messages again, his attempt to cover up the truth only made it more obvious, as if he were trying to express something.

They did it, indeed for the children.

But she did it only for the children?

Ha. He doesn't believe it.

The president arrived at the company with an unpredictable mood.

…

Ning Ye arrived at work on time and was in a very good mood today.

When she dropped the child off at school, she gave the child a loud kiss on the cheek.

Ning Zhitao always skips and hops into kindergarten.

Sitting at her workstation, her porcelain-white face shone brightly. With a smile in her eyes, she ticked off a small grape on the calendar.

With a huge weight lifted from her heart and the child's livelihood issue resolved, Ning Ye found walking much easier.

She also thought about whether her body would change after she conceived Tao Tao on time.

According to the logic of the original plot, at this point in time, the female lead needs the male lead to have a four-year-old daughter, just like her. So, five years later, the male lead's daughter travels through time.

Theoretically, there should only be one Ning Zhitao at any given time; otherwise, the reason the child traveled to this point wouldn't hold true. It was the plot's development that brought the child to the present ahead of time, meaning the events that originally occurred no longer exist due to the power of the plot.

Therefore, she is merely preserving and supplementing the child's logical "existence," and most likely will not actually become pregnant or give birth.

Otherwise, if this supporting female character, who has an illegitimate daughter and demands money, were to become pregnant with the male lead's child, wouldn't the original plot fall apart?

Therefore, she calls herself Cyber ​​Pregnant.

However, objectively speaking, they did this and that last night, making love all the time... Physiologically speaking, she is indeed in a state of conception now. I wonder if her body will experience the pregnancy reactions mentioned online?

Just then, Sister Zhou pulled up a chair and came over to discuss the data with her.

After finishing their work conversation, Sister Zhou looked up, blinked, and asked, "Ningning, are you in a good mood today?"

Ning Ye touched her face. "You can tell?"

"Mmm," Sister Zhou nodded, lightly touching her smooth, fair face. "You look different today, your complexion is rosy and moist, like a ripe peach."

This feels amazing! Even Sister Zhou is a little envious of her future husband. Those stinky men eat so well.

Ning Ye seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned slightly red. She then tidied her clean desk to cover it up.

Although it was a collaborative effort to create a baby, last night was indeed... very intense.

Calm down, calm down. This is what parents should do.

The two chatted for a few minutes and then saw a girl carrying a bag follow Director Ma into the meeting room. She looked unwell.

Without asking, Sister Zhou knew all about it and whispered gossip to her, "That person used to work in our department, but was fired before you joined. Do you know why?"

Influenced by her mysterious tone, Ning Ye also asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Sister Zhou sighed and shook her head, "Because when that girl joined the company, she said she had no plans to get married or have children, but she got married and had a child after only three months of employment and wanted to take more than 100 days of maternity leave. Director Ma was angry at the time, and the two sides could not reach an agreement, so the higher-ups found a reason to fire her."

Ning Ye blinked.

"Both sides are at fault in this matter. In principle, the company should not affect its hiring decisions because of a female employee's marriage and childbirth, but this girl is indeed a bit unethical... So, marriage and childbirth should be reported in advance. This way, the department can better plan its work and there will be no reason to fire her."

Ning Ye nodded repeatedly, her arms quietly encircling her lower abdomen.

If she also experiences pregnancy symptoms, can she take maternity leave...?

But she is unmarried and has no children, so how can she report this?

Ning Ye looked thoughtful.

After Zhou Jie finished her rambling, she noticed Ning Ye's concerns and, remembering that she might face similar problems in the future, quickly comforted her.

"But back then, Wujiang's CEO hadn't changed yet, and our CEO Bian hadn't taken over. Now that the boss has changed, the policies shouldn't be so cold-blooded anymore—"

Ning Ye hugged her arms and rubbed them.

From the child's father's perspective, Bian Xun certainly couldn't be that cold-blooded.

But if you don't use connections, it's hard to say what will happen in the relationship between capitalists and employees.

A heartless boss certainly won't concede on this matter.

She also needs to research the company's policies on this matter in advance!

After all, if she really has any pregnancy symptoms, she can't expect the baby's father to take care of her, right?

…

At noon, the higher-ups called a meeting for the business unit. I heard that General Manager Bian was also attending, but Ning Ye didn't go; she stayed behind for a team meeting.

I heard there's an international business trip coming up at the end of the month, and many colleagues are excited, secretly inquiring about who gets a spot. The timing is perfect; the trip will coincide with Christmas, so we can travel on company money.

When the director returned, he asked her to go to a meeting, but Ning Ye had work to do and declined.

The fact that Bian Xun is attending the meeting means it's an important agenda item, so whether she goes or not makes no difference.

After finishing her work, Ning Ye received a wedding invitation from Le Shiqing, asking her to bring Tao Tao along.

After meeting at their engagement party, the two exchanged contact information and gradually became quite familiar with each other.

Le Shiqing sent a voice message with schadenfreude, "Do you know who else I sent an invitation to? Xu Lanyi! She'll be furious if she finds out I married into the Bian family, hahaha."

Ning Ye hadn't paid attention to Xu Lanyi's situation since the last time. Now, the plot had changed drastically, and the female lead's condition was no longer of much concern to her.

All she has to do is take care of herself and the children.

After replying to the other party, Ning Ye was about to turn off her phone when she suddenly remembered something and refreshed her future photo album.

Since obtaining the photos last time and turning the plot around, Ning Ye had a vague feeling that setting up this photo album and having the children bring the black card seemed to be a kind of subtle protection, allowing them to be as unaffected by the plot as possible and to obtain more information.

Today, a new photo appeared in my photo album; it was a blurry surveillance video.

She clicked on it and her pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

The bottom right corner of the screen displays the watermark of Wujiang Big Data Model. Ning Ye knows that it is a project of Wujiang's R&D department, an AI intelligent model that supports global retrieval with powerful computing power and search engine support.

Several years ago, at the project's development conference, its social value was mentioned, highlighting its ability to provide technical assistance in addressing social issues such as missing persons and child trafficking.

That was one of the reasons Ning Ye initially wanted to join Wujiang.

The project by Wujiang is still progressing, but it seems to be a step behind the original timeline.

But Ning Ye unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the photo album screenshot. It turned out to be her mother, Ning Cuizhen, who appeared in Beijing.

She has been missing for seven years since she graduated from university, but Ning Ye can still recognize her at a glance.

Her mother is a very complicated person.

She had a bad temper, loved to swear, spoke harshly, and was irresponsible. Yet, she fiercely protected Ning Ye, ensuring Ning Ye never suffered a beating from her. After confirming Ning Ye could secure a student loan from Jinghua University to complete her studies, she vanished without a trace, despite having just been diagnosed with a serious illness. At that time, Ning Ye had just been admitted to the capital city, with a bright future ahead; her presence would only be a burden. Therefore, she didn't even give Ning Ye a choice.

Seeing this screenshot at least proves that she is still alive.

Ning Ye put down her phone, a thought seemingly stirring in her heart.

I don't know if her mother's appearance was the original trigger that led her to choose to become a mother as well.

However, in the current timeline, Wujiang's technology has not yet been fully developed.

Just before leaving get off work, Ning Ye ran into Assistant Zhang in the printing room and wanted to ask him about the progress of the large search model.

Assistant Zhang looked lingering fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Ye.

"The higher-ups are still in a meeting. Boss Bian is in a very bad mood today and he scolded several senior executives."

Ning Ye looked puzzled. "Bian Xun? What happened to him?"

Assistant Zhang initially thought the president was concerned about Miss Ning, but judging from her expression, it was clearly not the case.

Ning Ye also felt it had nothing to do with her. After all, she got up in the middle of the night to clean the room floor, cleaned the bathroom after use, and didn't leave the child's things lying around. There shouldn't have been anything that angered the child's father, right?

Assistant Zhang recalled the project she had asked about: "The intelligent search big model has been completed, but due to the impact on the president's financial security in the previous two months, coupled with fluctuations in stock price and market value, R&D costs have been forced to tighten to some extent."

Ning Ye nodded understandingly. Sigh, no one can predict these kinds of business battles.

I never expected Bianxun to be in such a tight financial situation.

"However, it's not a big problem. It's just a slight delay from the expected completion date, but it will be online in the next quarter."

Ning Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

She earnestly prayed that there would be no thieves in the world and that Bian Xun's assets would not be attacked.

Let the child's father earn more money!

When Assistant Zhang returned to the conference room where the battle had ended with the documents, he walked through the smoke and dust to the head seat and hurriedly reported to the president about his encounter with Ning Ye.

Bian Xun's arms, which had been crossed, loosened slightly, and he lifted his eyelids. "She didn't have anything to say to me?"

There was no news all morning.

She won't come to the meeting even when we call her.

Assistant Zhang immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Bian."

The man in the superior position parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Ms. Ning said she hopes your wealth will continue to grow, your assets will never be attacked, and you will become the most important cornerstone of Wujiang Group."

Bian Xun sneered.

There are no people.

The money didn't increase.

His bank balance has indeed been fluctuating recently, but his private account transactions are always very frequent, and his net worth changes every minute. Bianxun doesn't have the time to delve into it.

Shouldn't she care about something else more than his money?

Did they deliberately bring up the money issue to evade the question?

I understand.

Bian Xun rested his hands on the desk, his expression cold and deep.

This is a contest between men and women.

After one night, whoever shows the most lingering attachment will be at a disadvantage.

After all, if they want to reconcile and get back together, they need to set the tone from the very beginning.

Oh.

The president stood up indifferently, picked up his coat, and finally freed the executives in the conference room.

He dismissed his assistant and went to Charlotte's Kindergarten alone.

Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

…

Bian Xun arrived early today, before Ning Ye had even finished get off work, so he picked up Ning Zhitao first.

Children's memories don't fade so quickly. The kindergarten children still vividly remember Daddy's behavior yesterday; the moment they see him, they launch into a series of fawning greetings.

"Greetings, Father!" "Goodbye, Father!"

Although it was noisy, and although Bian Xun didn't want to admit it, he actually found a slight sense of normal order in it.

Children will react to what has happened.

Some people act as if nothing happened after having a child?

Last night, I worked on it for two hours in total.

He didn't believe she could forget about it so easily.

The CEO stood at the kindergarten gate with a cold and arrogant expression.

Many fathers even recognized him and greeted him.

A short while later, Ning Zhitao came out with Teacher Youzi. She saw him at a glance and waved happily: "Dad!"

The child's attitude remained the same, with bright affection in Grape's eyes.

I have to say, the moment I saw my child, my anxious heart, which had been racing all day, finally calmed down.

The children are their responsibility and the closest bond between them.

Moreover, after last night, Bian Xun also needs to be observed.

My daughter is from five years in the future, but she was just born. Is it possible for two identical individuals to exist at the same time? How can I ensure that my child won't suddenly disappear after appearing in my life?

Ning Zhitao held her father's hand, looked up and asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"

Bian Xun led the child toward Ning Ye's route home from get off work, saying, "She'll be here soon."

Ning Zhitao seemed to remember something and suddenly asked curiously, "But Mom said she would stay with me all day, why haven't I seen her?"

Bian Xun raised an eyebrow; in a sense, that was indeed the case.

If children can understand their own existence, it might not be a bad thing.

While searching, he held her hand and carefully chose his words, "Because you might be in your mother's belly right now."

Ning Zhitao opened her eyes wide in surprise and suddenly looked around. The traffic was heavy and the sky was vast. Sijie and her mother had just passed by. Was all of this in her mother's belly?

Ning Zhitao was deeply shocked, "Mom's belly is so big!"

She turned to look at Bian Xun standing beside her, "Dad, were you in Mom's tummy too?"

Bian Xun: "?"

He patted the child's head.

In a sense, he was there last night too.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, talking about completely different things, when the slender figure appeared in the distance right on time.

Bian Xun's expression immediately sharpened, his spine straightened, and he walked slowly toward her, looking tall, handsome, and imposing.

Will they have to compete when they meet?

She may still be indifferent.

It's all about getting the upper hand in love.

Bian Xun felt a pang of sadness as he looked up at Ning Ye's outfit. She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater under a thin down jacket, looking very delicate and elegant. But only Bian Xun knew why.

Because he left too many kiss marks on the side of her neck.

She sobbed softly in the night, but it did not stop her; she was gently being rubbed and tormented.

The irritability and restlessness of the whole day took a turn for the worse at this moment, finally turning into an unquenchable rage.

Bian Xun's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Even if her attitude is cold and indifferent, he can admit defeat this time.

However, Ning Ye jogged over and saw Bian Xun pick up the child first. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and slightly bright, her eyebrows were curved, and even her voice was soft and clear.

"Thank you for picking up the child."

There was no clue whatsoever.

She was very nice.

It's even better than before.

The two walked side by side, Ning Ye speaking as if they were having a casual chat, glancing at him sideways as she asked, "Assistant Zhang said your meeting today lasted a long time, have you resolved all the work-related issues?"

He glanced at her.

He glanced at her again.

My heart, which had been filled with bitterness and coldness, suddenly sank.

She felt as if she had completed a task, relaxed and relieved. She was even more friendly towards him than before, listening attentively to him and stopping on her own when she was looking for a place to rest.

Bian Xun tried to find traces of last night on her face.

But since the lights were off all night, those pleasurable moans and the thin layer of sweat on her lips could not be verified, nor could they be superimposed on her current expression.

I slept through the night.

They didn't become close.

The relationship remained unchanged.

I didn't intend to live with him.

The burning anger in his chest, combined with a sense of loss, created a complex and tangled feeling of rage and shame.

The CEO's tone turned harsh as he asked, "Leaving so early this morning, why didn't you sleep in a little longer?"

Ning Ye was taken aback, wondering why he had suddenly become angry when she had spoken to him so politely.

But Ning Ye is very tolerant of him now, so it doesn't matter if her tone is a little harsh; maybe it's just her imagination.

Thinking of last night, Ning Ye felt a little embarrassed. She smiled with her head down, her hair falling gently. "I don't know your schedule now. I leave for work early in the morning, and I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Upon hearing this, Bian Xun raised an eyebrow, his mood improving slightly. He freed one hand to hold hers, glancing at her expression with the corner of his eye, and said, "Then you can ask me during the day."

"No need?"

The young mother's voice was soft and gentle.

They had now arrived at the entrance of the apartment building.

Ning Ye looked up, her eyes reassuring, "It won't happen again, so it's okay, you don't need to worry."

This time, Bian Xun's jawline was clearly smoothed out.

His chest and abdomen rose and fell briefly beneath his coat, and then he suddenly spoke.

How did you feel last night?

His attitude changed again.

Ning Ye paused for a moment, covered the child's ears, and nodded, "Very good."

Bian Xun closed his eyes slightly to calm himself down, "Let's go upstairs and talk."

"Oh, okay."

Ning Ye took the child from him, and the two of them took the elevator upstairs and into the house. The child went inside to watch English cartoons on the tablet, while the two adults sat in the living room.

Ning Ye still maintains a very good temper.

After all, ever since Bian Xun recognized her father, he has helped her a lot. Last night, the two of them worked together seamlessly to complete the child's life-long event.

"What other requirements do you have for your child?" she asked proactively and kindly. "Tao Tao said that you used to enroll her in a lot of extracurricular classes and arrange her schedule. If you still have this plan, we can discuss it properly, but we must prioritize the child's wishes."

Bian Xun took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

The gentler she was, the more he couldn't hold back his inner turmoil.

But they don't want to expose it, they don't want to admit it.

Bian Xun's eyes deepened. "I have no expectations for the children, but I do have expectations for you."

"Finish and run?"

He slowly approached.

"Use and then throw away?"

"Leave the father and keep the son?"

Ning Ye looked at him in surprise, cornered by him. With the child in the next room, she felt somewhat embarrassed. "Let's talk this out. Wasn't what happened last night something we agreed on? Having a child is the top priority—"

It was all about the children; she never talked to him about anything other than the children.

Unable to suppress his anger, Bian Xun's forehead twitched at the huge difference in his height, and his voice rose.

"Then what?"

The child inside must have heard that sound.

Because the English audio on the tablet has stopped, the child is probably listening intently to what's happening outside.

Ning Ye's consistently good attitude could no longer be maintained; she pursed her lips, a hint of grievance in her eyes.

How can you argue in front of your children?

Ning Ye calmly said, "Then please calm down before we talk about the child's education. You're not in a good position to give the child positive guidance right now, understand? Child's father."

The rigid identity I was bound to finally understand.

The CEO's dark eyes were icy, with a hint of shattering into ice shards. He sneered, "So, you don't need me for anything else?"

Once and again.

Ning Ye was completely angry.

She interpreted this as sarcastic or mocking.

Because she did indeed swipe Bian Xun's card and spend his money to raise the child.

So he was questioning her!

Even a clay figure has a temper.

Ning Ye stood up, her face tense, as if seeing a guest off.

“I can raise them myself. From today onwards, I will no longer spend your money.”

Now that the rent is gone, she can afford the remaining childcare costs, and she'll find a way to cover the education costs as well. She won't split the bill with him anymore!

Okay. Very good.

I had been subtly hinting at money to her before, but she never realized it.

At this point, he wasn't talking about money at all, but suddenly became sensitive about it!

Bian Xun felt a burning evil fire before his eyes, his vision turning black, his heart alternating between hot and cold, and a cold smile on his lips.

The question that had been stuck on his tongue last night now sounded like self-humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "You have absolutely no feelings for me..."

"Mom~ Dad~ Don't be angry."

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and a cute little head peeked out from the bedroom door.

They actually sent a child to try and break up the fight!

Ning Ye's face tightened, and she pushed Bian Xun towards the door, saying, "I'm not angry, Tao Tao. Your father has to go—"

Bian Xun took a deep breath, "Yes, we didn't argue, I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Ye had already slammed the door shut in front of him with a loud bang!

A mental illness is a mental illness.

She leaned against the door, feeling both annoyed and wronged.

I'll never let Bian Xun in again!

There was a moment of silence outside the door, then Bian Xun's cold, hard voice rang out, "You can continue to spend the money."

Bian Xun waited for a while, but there was no response from inside the door.

He stood in the narrow entryway, his eyes half-closed, seemingly at a loss, and mechanically opened his mobile banking app.

He offered a way out in a cold voice, "That's not what I meant."

The president lowered his head and took a breath.

"I have plenty of money, you can spend it however you like."

There was still no response from inside the door.

Bian Xun tilted his head slightly, staring blankly at his bank card balance, which was just a string of cold numbers.

He squeezed his eyes shut, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

When Bian Xun opened his eyes again and looked at the string of numbers, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He usually has huge bills coming in and going out, and he never checks his balance.

I unexpectedly spent more time watching today, and then I discovered...

His balance is decreasing every second...?

The numbers were deducting money at a steady pace.

He may have been holding it in for a while, but he only discovered it by chance today.

He was lost in thought when the door was suddenly pulled open. Ning Ye, with a stern face, shoved the black card the child had given her into Bian Xun's hand.

The money deduction suddenly stopped when her fingertips touched him.

Ning Ye closed the door again: "Goodbye."

As her hand left, his balance began to decrease at a steady pace again.

Her footsteps faded into the distance towards the living room, and the pace noticeably quickened as she deducted money.

I looked for a quiet place to rest.

Suddenly I realized something terrifying.

Bian Xun raised his hand to rest on the door frame and calmly said to her, "Open the door, I have something to do."

Bian Xun paused again and again: "...I'm sorry."

After those three words were spoken, Ning Ye's response finally came from inside the door.

"From now on, let's maintain social distancing and always keep a distance of more than 100 meters unless absolutely necessary."

Bian Xun swayed, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"If necessary, also through indirect contact with children."

"goodbye!"
