"And the doctor said it's a boy. I know my husband has always been worried about not having a boy to carry on the family line."

"I was so happy that I forgot my husband's instructions. I also know that the lady will not tolerate concubines."

"I won't do that again. If my husband doesn't like this child, I can..."

The woman hadn't finished speaking her sad and self-blaming words.

He was interrupted by the man's urgent voice.

Shopkeeper Wu's eyes widened in shock. "You, what did you say?! The doctor said you're pregnant with a boy?"

The woman nodded shyly.

Seeing this, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by eagerness.

He stared at the woman's still-bare belly with shining eyes: "When you give birth to the child, if it is indeed a son, I will report to my mother and take you home."

A flicker of hope flashed in the woman's eyes.

She wanted to go into the mansion immediately, but she knew that this man was too concerned about his reputation.

As the owner of a famous martial arts school in the capital, he had to be secretive even when keeping a mistress, fearing that his disciples would see him and affect his image. How could he easily bring another woman into the house?

The woman knew very well that she couldn't force a man, and she also knew that this man was too selfish, so she could only nod obediently.

"I don't ask for any status, I just want to obey my husband's wishes and give him a son."

"I hope my husband will not hurt that lady's feelings because of us, mother and daughter."

At this point, Manager Wu was very satisfied, and even spoke to the woman in a much gentler manner.

Manager Wu sent his mistress back to the small courtyard he had bought privately, and after spending a long time being affectionate with her, he reluctantly returned to the martial arts hall.

As soon as he returned to the martial arts gym, he saw the martial arts disciples coming up to him and saying, "Master, you're back."

"The old lady asked you to go find her as soon as you come back."

Manager Wu was in a very good mood today. He was extremely happy at the thought of having a son to inherit the family business.

He patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are in good shape, practice well."

Manager Wu did not dare to delay and walked through the lobby to the old lady's yard.

When the old lady saw Shopkeeper Wu walking towards her with a joyful look on his face, she pursed her lips and taught Shopkeeper Wu a lesson with a serious face: "Son."

"Tell me the truth, who was that woman you were messing around with outside this afternoon?"

"You look so lustful, are you keeping a vixen outside?"

The smile on Shopkeeper Wu's face froze, and he asked with a guilty conscience, "Mom, how did you know?"

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Upon hearing Shopkeeper Wu's admission, the old lady was furious and picked up her cane to hit Shopkeeper Wu. As she hit him, she said with disapproval:

"You good-for-nothing! Your wife is due to give birth in a month or so. It's definitely going to be a boy. You'll have a lot of money to spend in the future. The martial arts school only makes so little money, and you dare to keep a mistress."

"If your wife finds out and gets mad, if anything happens to my precious grandson, I'll never forgive you."

Shopkeeper Wu knew what his mother cared about most.

He simply felt that his concubine was an outsider and that his money was wasted.

Plus, my wife is about to give birth. If it really is a boy, she would be heartbroken if something goes wrong.

Shopkeeper Wu looked outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he whispered to his mother, "Mom, that was indeed the mistress I kept outside."

"She came to see me today because she is pregnant."

"And the doctor said she's most likely pregnant with a son."
