Chen Yang's appearance was so sudden that Mo Xi had no idea.
At that moment, Chen Liu was standing right next to her, so she understood that Chen Yang must have already guessed the truth.
"Dad," Chen Liu called out sweetly, then walked up to Chen Yang, who picked him up.
"Finally, I don't have to call you godfather anymore," Chen Liu said.
Chen Yang pinched his little cheek helplessly and said, "You little rascal, you're too smart."
Mo Xi walked up and looked at Chen Yang holding Chen Liu. For a moment, she fantasized about how wonderful it would be if Chen Yang were her husband.
"Why are you here?" Mo Xi asked.
“They’ve come to acknowledge their son,” Chen Yang said.
Mo Xi smiled and said, "You're still the same, always surprising me."
She turned to Li Si and said, "Go to the company and tell them I'm asking for leave."
Li Si was quite tactful; he gave Chen Yang a meaningful look before driving away.
But some people are not so sensible.
The Porsche door opened, and the handsome man stepped out. He smiled and walked up to the two of them, saying to Chen Yang, "You must be Chen Liu's father?"
Chen Yang glanced at him and said, "Yes."
The man chuckled, then suddenly threw a punch, "I'll teach you a lesson for Xiaoxi..."
His fist was gripped by Chen Yang, and the man's smug smile froze on his face.
"What, are you going to lecture me?" Chen Yang said sarcastically.
"you……"
Anger flashed across the man's face, and he kicked out again, but before his foot even reached him, Chen Yang gently pushed him with the hand holding his fist, causing him to lose his balance and stumble back several steps.
"He Xiao, this is my business, don't meddle," Mo Xi said to the man.
He Xiao's face was very ugly, but Chen Yang's casual moves made him realize that the other party must have been trained, and he had chosen the wrong person to show off to.
“Xiao Xi, this is the guy who dumped you and Chen Liu, right? Don’t worry, I’ll have someone teach him a lesson,” He Xiao said.
“Uncle He, I really don’t understand what’s wrong with your brain. This situation looks like a reunion from a TV drama, so you’d better leave quickly,” Chen Liu suddenly said.
Such words coming from a child are incredibly damaging. He Xiao stood there, stunned, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Alright, He Xiao, you should go to the company now. Chen Yang, come in and have a seat."
Mo Xi glanced coldly at He Xiao, then walked back to her home, with Chen Yang following behind.
He Xiao really wanted to follow, but he knew Mo Xi's personality. If he tried to enter Mo Xi's house without her invitation, he would be cutting off his own escape route.
"Damn it!" he said grimly, then made a phone call.
"Chen Liu's father has appeared. Investigate him. Also, find a few skilled men to come over."
…………
Chen Yang entered Mo Xi's home. Owning such a detached two-story house in downtown Shanghai was no small feat; the land prices here far exceeded those of Chen Yang's inn, and could be said to be equivalent to the value of four inns combined.
"The house is nice," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"It's a bit too big for Chen Liu and me. If we didn't have someone specifically cleaning it, I wouldn't be able to manage it," Mo Xi said, then asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Both tea and water are fine."
Mo Xi nodded and then went to get the tea leaves.
"Dad, how did you find out?" Chen Liu asked, blinking.
"You call me 'Dad' so naturally, you've wanted to call me that for a while now, haven't you?" Chen Yang said. Chen Liu immediately nodded in confirmation.
"You still haven't said how you found out. Was it when you asked Uncle Ye Wu to take me to the inn a few days ago?"
"More or less."
"Dad, is my high IQ because I have alien blood?" Chen Liu asked.
"What are you talking about?" Mo Xi walked over and flicked Chen Liu's head. "Where did you get this alien blood? When did you start thinking such nonsense?"
Chen Liu stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more.
Mo Xi placed the teacup in front of Chen Yang, then sat down on the sofa, holding her own teacup in her hands, silent, as if feeling the temperature of the teacup.
"Just to confirm," Chen Yang said, "There's no mistake that Chen Liu is my son, is there?"
Mo Xi looked up at Chen Yang, who noticed a hint of annoyance in her eyes. He smiled and said, "Looks like I was right. So what were your original plans? To raise him without telling me?"
Mo Xi nodded and said affirmatively, "That's what I'm planning to do now, I just don't need to hide it from you anymore."
"Chen Liu, what do you think?" Chen Yang suddenly asked Chen Liu.
It was really inappropriate to involve a child under five years old in this kind of conversation, but Chen Yang felt that Chen Liu actually understood more than many teenagers.
"What I want most is for my parents to get married," Chen Liu said. "If you don't get married, then I'll choose to stay with my mom."
Chen Liu's words brought a relieved smile to Mo Xi's face. Even Chen Yang felt the same way; with his own son being so sensible, he wouldn't ask for anything more.
“That’s fine then,” Chen Yang said. “My main purpose in coming here this time is to reunite with you. If you choose to stay with me, I will raise you to adulthood. If you choose to stay with Mo Xi, Mo Xi will definitely be able to raise you very well as well.”
"So...are you leaving?" Mo Xi asked hesitantly, Chen Yang's words implying that he was about to leave.
“I’m staying in Shanghai for a few days. I’ll take Chenliu around for a bit. You can come along if you have time,” Chen Yang said.
“Okay, I’ll make time for it at the company,” Mo Xi replied without hesitation.
"Dad, where do you live?"
Let's find a hotel nearby.
"Dad, would you like to sleep with me? There's a guest room at home, we can sleep in the guest room together."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "No, I'll stay at the hotel. You can come to the hotel with me if you want."
Chen Liu looked at Mo Xi, his eyes filled with longing. Mo Xi said indulgently, "Go ahead, spend these few days with your father."
"Yay!" Chen Liu jumped up happily. At this moment, he was like a child again.
"Mo Xi, I have a question for you," Chen Yang suddenly asked.
"Um?"
"You should have some idea of the unique space Chenliu and I are in now, but for some reason I can't tell you directly. However, if you're willing, I can let you in as well; it's a place beyond your imagination."
Chen Yang's words touched Mo Xi's heart. This time, it wasn't Chen Liu who suggested it, but Chen Yang who took the initiative to tell her. Now, as long as she nodded, she could enter a world where both Chen Yang and Chen Liu existed.
Mo Xi was struggling internally, her hands unconsciously clenching. This was a subconscious action that Chen Yang knew well. Years ago, when Mo Xi told him she was leaving, she did the same thing—her expression was calm, but her hands were tightly clenched.
"Are you... still willing to be with me?" Mo Xi asked, while Xiao Chenliu looked at Chen Yang nervously.
Chen Yang paused for a moment, looking at Mo Xi's slightly pleading and weak eyes, and sighed inwardly.
"If it's just a meeting and normal interaction, I have no problem with it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xi gripped her hand even tighter, but a relaxed expression appeared on her face.
"Then I won't go. Let Chenliu get along well with you. That place you mentioned won't have a negative impact on Chenliu, will it?"
"It will double his mental growth rate, which means he will mature early."
Mo Xi smiled wryly and said, "This child is already very precocious. If he were to mature twice as much, I wouldn't even be able to predict his future."
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'm not a bookworm. I can learn a lot of things that I can't learn in school where I'm with Dad."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, I think it would be beneficial for him."
Mo Xi smiled and said, "That's good."
That's good……
