Pei Wu went straight home.
Pei Nian must be asleep, so the room was dimly lit, with only a dim, warm yellow lamp left on.
The room was very quiet, but the sound of Pei Wu opening and closing the door could be heard clearly. Upon hearing the noise, Shao Sang came out of the room, holding a baby bottle that he was going to wash.
"I'm back."
Shao Sang glanced at Pei Wu and then took the baby bottle towards the kitchen. He turned on the tap and rinsed the bottle little by little. As Pei Wu approached him, he was about to put the bottle into the sterilizer.
Who exactly are you?
Pei Wu looked at the familiar face before her, but upon careful recollection of their recent interactions, she realized that the person in front of her was indeed not her Shao Sang.
"..." Shao Sang paused for a moment before answering, "Awu, what's wrong? I am Shao Sang, a product that Dr. Sun Min gave to you. It's a trial product developed by the research institute and sent to you."
"..." Pei Wu frowned slightly upon hearing this, as the other person's reaction indirectly confirmed her suspicions.
Dr. Sun Min's robots all possess self-awareness. This is evident in both the trial products already on the market and in Cheng Tong's presence beside Dr. Sun Min. Just as he himself had taken over Pei Wu's body, Shen Yu Nan had once taken over Shao Sang's body, controlling it with his own consciousness.
Shao Sang once told Pei Wu that his mission was to make Pei Wu fall in love with him. Pei Wu naturally knew her own feelings; she loved Shao Sang, and this love was further elevated when she saw him using his body to bring life into their lives.
Therefore, Shao Sang's mission should have been completed.
After completing the mission, Shen Yu Nan returned to his body, so now it is his original consciousness that is controlling Shao Sang's body?
Shao Sang's original consciousness had no memory of spending time with Pei Wu, but the memory belonged to Shen Yu Nan, who had once controlled Shao Sang's body.
Thinking of this, Pei Wu subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
'What should I do with Shao Sang in front of me?'
When this thought suddenly entered Pei Wu's mind, she was startled. She remembered Ju Heng's phone call. If those photos were made public, it would confirm that Shen Yu Nan was a man Diana kept outside without a title, and that this man without a title had a child who was a few years old.
Pei Wu had already anticipated the shift in public opinion. Shen Yu'nan, Pei Wu's secretary, already had a poor reputation.
Pei Wu's mind suddenly became much heavier.
'The Shao Sang before me... seems to know nothing.'
After much deliberation, Pei Wu decided to explain everything to Shao Sang first, telling him that he was neither her husband nor the father of her child.
She knew from the beginning that Shao Sang, being just a robot, did not have the ability to conceive; his abdominal cavity was simply designed as a suitable environment for infant development.
As for the donor of the child's male gene, Pei Wu had asked Sun Min, who said that she had just randomly selected him from the gene donation bank and did not know his name.
Pei Wu knew that this kind of information was confidential, so she didn't ask any further questions.

The next morning, Pei Wu set off for Shen Yu Nan's residence, but she did not bring the child as agreed.
Although Pei Wu had the key and entered the community using it, and took the elevator, she decided to politely knock on the door before using the key to open it.
Pei Nian opened the door for her.
"..." The little guy looked at Pei Wu, who was standing at his door with breakfast in hand, and opened his beautiful big eyes. "You... why are you here?"
The child's innocent words eased Pei Wu's slumbering expression slightly. She reached out and ruffled Pei Nian's hair, asking, "Where's your father?"
“My dad…” Pei Nian glanced in the direction of the restroom.
Shen Yu Nan barely slept all night. The restless hormones in his body kept him very awake. Unable to fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned, Shen Yu Nan finally got up and went out to find a 24-hour convenience store to buy suppressants. Next to the shelf where the suppressants were placed were sanitary products for menstruation during special periods. After looking at them for a few seconds, he also took a few packs of sanitary products.
According to male physiology, men need to inject suppressants every month after puberty, except for those who have intimate relations. However, Shen Yu'nan's body has been lying in the research institute for a year and a half. He should also be injecting suppressants regularly after more than a year without intimate relations. Otherwise, let alone Pei Wu, any woman who accidentally leaks some hormones would be enough to cause him trouble.
Although Shen Yu Nan conceived a new life in Shao Sang's body, his body had not had a period for a year and a half. A man's period is related to male hormones in the body, and the timing is predictable. If there is no partner and no intimate behavior, it will be the day after the inhibitor injection.
Shen Yu Nan injected himself with inhibitors after returning home that night to calm down the restless hormones in his body. After finally calming down, Shen Yu Nan gradually became sleepy. However, when he opened his eyes the next day, he could already feel his slightly cold and painful lower abdomen.
Hearing the noise, Shen Yunan came out of the bathroom. The slightly cold and painful lower abdomen made him feel uncomfortable all over. His beautiful brows were almost habitually furrowed.
Pei Wu was plating the breakfast she had brought.
After meeting Shen Yu Nan's gaze, he said, "Good morning."
"...morning.."
The scene before him overlapped with his past memories, and for some reason, Shen Yu'nan felt her eyes well up with tears. "Why didn't you bring the child?"
"I have something important to take care of in a bit. After I'm done... let's go home together."
"What?"
"I want to marry you."
"..." Shen Yu'nan paused for a moment before replying, "Okay."
What happened last night is a ticking time bomb. Once it explodes, it will be almost impossible to salvage the situation. Even if she knows that Shen Yu Nan is Ye Shao Sang, whom she married through proper channels, no one else will ever know. Who would believe in such an absurd thing as soul swapping?
All Pei Wu could do was to take the initiative and legitimize her relationship with Shen Yuhuan to minimize the harm caused by public opinion.
Breakfast was eaten quietly. Pei Nian glanced at Pei Wu and then at Shen Yu Nan, but didn't say a word.
Pei Wu noticed Shen Yu Nan's tightly furrowed brows and the hand that would occasionally touch his lower abdomen before she opened her mouth and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan shook his head.
