Butler Wenbo's gentle voice came through the microphone to Pei Fengzhi's ears. Little Xingxing also curiously climbed into Pei Fengzhi's arms, blinking her big eyes and leaning over to listen.

"Although I don't know what your relationship is with the young master you brought back today, I can tell that you value him a lot. That's why I think Ninth Master wants to protect him."

“It’s already past midnight. Most shops would have closed long ago. If Ninth Master wants to buy children’s clothes for the young master, it would be best to wait until tomorrow and have someone go to the mall to buy them. That way, it will be more discreet.”

"If you make a big fuss and send someone to do this now, wouldn't that let all those people who are watching you know about the young master's existence? There are countless people waiting to find fault with you right now, and you're just giving them something to talk about."

Pei Fengzhi's gaze was deep, and he remained silent.

He understood, but the little star he was holding in his arms was too young to understand these adult coded messages.

Little Star looked up and asked Pei Fengzhi in confusion.

What would happen if others knew about me?

Butler Wenbo was clearly surprised that Pei Fengzhi had the child with her when she was on the phone. He was astonished by Pei Fengzhi's special treatment of the child.

At the same time, a deeper worry arose.

"Ninth Master, is it really true that this child has absolutely no relation to you?"

He always felt that Pei Fengzhi's kindness to this child far exceeded that of all those he had only met a few times. Even he couldn't help but start to suspect that this child might be Pei Fengzhi's illegitimate child who had been separated from him for many years.

"Ninth Master, if this child is truly related to you, I think it's best to do a DNA test as soon as possible to confirm the child's lineage, so that the child can be recognized as part of the family sooner. If the old man knew he had a grandson, I don't know how happy he would be!"

Pei Fengzhi was both amused and exasperated when he heard the steward's conjecture.

“Uncle Wen, this child has parents. I’m certain he’s not my child.”

Although Pei Fengzhi had also suspected this issue before.

The butler sighed with some disappointment and said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's a real pity. But don't worry, let the young master bear with it a little longer. I'll send someone to buy clothes for him first thing tomorrow morning."

Pei Fengzhi hung up the phone and didn't press the matter further.

If he showed too much attention to the child, it would indeed raise suspicions about the child's identity, and might even lead to harm, which was not what Pei Fengzhi wanted.

Little Star seemed to understand something, blinked, and asked Pei Fengzhi.

"Is this the world of the rich? It's so complicated!"

Pei Fengzhi laughed, picked up Xiao Xingxing, tucked him into the blanket, and patted his little head.

"Go to sleep."

Little Star tugged at the blanket, her bright eyes secretly watching Pei Fengzhi as she spoke softly.

"Handsome uncle, will you sleep with me too?"

He has never slept with his dad before. Although this handsome uncle was just a potential dad, he is now married to his mom and can be considered half a dad!

Pei Fengzhi originally wanted to refuse, but Xiao Xingxing's expectant look made it impossible for him to refuse directly, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Little Star excitedly flashed a peace sign, then pulled Pei Fengzhi into the blankets, clinging to his arm as she lay there like a koala, half-lying in his arms and closing her eyes peacefully.

His fluffy little head took a deep breath in Pei Fengzhi's arms.

Is this what Daddy tastes like?

It's completely different from Mommy's.

Snap!

The bedroom lights went out, plunging the entire room into darkness. Only the child's soft breathing filled Pei Fengzhi's ears. By the moonlight streaming in through the window, Pei Fengzhi looked at the little star lying in his arms and gently stroked the little star's cheek.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, lies the Pei family's main residence.

The main room.

Mrs. Pei had just finished watching today's short videos and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when suddenly there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Mom, it's me..."

The voice of Madam Pei's most beloved youngest son rang out from outside.

Upon hearing Pei Minghao's voice, Madam Pei immediately put on her bathrobe, threw off the covers, and stood up again.

She opened the door, looked at her youngest son standing outside, and asked with a mixture of helplessness and affection.

"Don't you know what time it is? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

Pei Minghao looked at Madam Pei with a smile, but his handsome face, which could be described as delicate and handsome, had a hint of malice in it.

"Mom, I just learned something from Pei Fengzhi's villa. Would you like to hear it?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei opened her sleepy eyes, put her hair up, and reluctantly showed some interest. She stepped aside to make way for Pei Minghao.

"Then come in and talk."

Pei Minghao, however, did not move.

Madam Pei frowned slightly in displeasure, glanced at her youngest son with a displeased look, and questioned him in a low voice.

"What? You don't expect us, mother and son, to talk in the hallway? Aren't you afraid someone will hear us late at night? If they complain to your grandfather, you know what will happen!"

Pei Minghao immediately coaxed him in a low voice.

"Mom, don't be angry. It's just that we're not the only two discussing this today. Please change your clothes, and I'll wait for you in the tea room downstairs. My second aunt is coming too."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei frowned even more deeply.
