Sheng Nanyin looked at him, a smile always on her face.
Huo Beichen, however, became increasingly agitated.
"Stop fucking laughing!"
Huo Beichen yelled at her.
Sheng Nanyin was obedient; if she wasn't allowed to laugh, she stopped laughing.
What does she think she is? Someone who can confess her feelings whenever she wants and joke around whenever she wants?
"Sheng Nanyin, you need to understand one thing: if you anger me, you will not have a good ending."
Hearing Huo Beichen's voice, Sheng Nanyin lowered her head. Yes, what power did she have to resist him?
"If you annoy me, you'll never see Zeze again in your life!"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Nanyin instinctively grabbed his arm, her eyes already brimming with tears. "No!"
Huo Beichen looked at her coldly.
Sheng Nanyin tried hard to suppress her emotions, but Zeze was the apple of her eye, and she couldn't live without him.
"Beichen, I will never again covet the position of Mrs. Huo, nor do I want to acknowledge Zeze. I only beg you to let me stay by his side."
Sheng Nanyin had been with him for so many years, and she had never shown such a vulnerable side.
She would never cry her eyes out in front of him.
"I was wrong. I promise I'll listen to you from now on!"
She gripped his arm tightly with one hand and raised the other to swear.
Huo Beichen felt utterly disgusted by her appearance.
He abruptly pushed her away, showing absolutely no tenderness.
In his eyes, Sheng Nanyin's words and actions had little impact on him, but she couldn't tolerate him playing tricks on Zeze.
Sheng Nanyin looked at him pleadingly, "Zeze is still young, I... I just want to be able to spend time with him."
"No need, Zeze will have someone to take care of him in the future."
In other words, she will never have the chance to see Zeze again.
How could he be so heartless?
Sheng Nanyin looked at him helplessly. At this moment, she couldn't argue with him.
Otherwise, he would treat her with even harsher methods.
Sheng Nanyin wiped away her tears and composed herself.
“I understand. Everything will be done as you say. You are Zeze’s father, so you will think things through more thoroughly.”
Sheng Nanyin's emotions changed very quickly; in a short while, she was back to her cold and indifferent demeanor.
This is the version of her he knows best.
Huo Beichen looked at her, a fire burning inside him that he just couldn't vent.
He snorted coldly, flicked his hand, and left.
As Sheng Nanyin watched his retreating figure, her gaze grew even more resolute.
It was no longer possible to ask him to have compassion, so she had to take matters into her own hands.
After the two of them went back, Zeze became noticeably more obedient.
This child has been without a mother since he was little, and is sensitive and fragile. He was scolded by Huo Beichen just now, and now he just clings tightly to Sheng Nanyin, his little hands tugging at the hem of her clothes, as if Sheng Nanyin is his only support.
Huo Beichen was very displeased to see this. "What are you doing? Come here!"
Seeing Huo Beichen's attitude towards Zeze, Sheng Nanyin felt indescribably sad.
Upon hearing this, Zeze instinctively moved closer to her; he was afraid.
"come over!"
The child's behavior made Huo Beichen even angrier. What he disliked most was the unusual closeness between Zeze and Sheng Nanyin.
Seeing this, Sheng Nanyin gently nudged Zeze, bent down and whispered to him, "Zeze, go over to Daddy's side, don't be afraid."
The little one bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears that seemed about to fall.
Zeze cautiously approached Huo Beichen.
"You're a boy, and when I say a few words to you, you hide behind someone else. What kind of behavior is that?" Huo Beichen was usually cold and indifferent, and his face darkened especially when he was scolding someone. Even an adult couldn't stand it, let alone a child.
Zeze burst into tears.
Huo Beichen's brows immediately furrowed. How could his son be so cowardly?
Seeing this, he was about to raise his hand.
"What are you doing?" Sheng Nanyin rushed over and blocked Huo Beichen's large hand.
She pulled Zeze into her arms.
The little boy hugged her tightly and started sobbing. Hearing her son's cries, Sheng Nanyin's heart broke.
How dare she stop me?
Sheng Nanyin not only dared to stop him, but also dared to scold him.
"Huo Beichen, are you crazy? Zeze is your son, he's still a child, why are you yelling at him?"
"Sheng Nanyin!" Huo Beichen warned.
Sheng Nanyin gently stroked the back of Zeze's head; her eyes were red with anger.
She pulled the child behind her, puffed out her little chest, and was about to argue with Huo Beichen.
“He is my son, it’s none of your business to speak.”
Was he trying to hurt her on purpose? She wasn't buying it! He said he could handle himself, but he couldn't treat the child like that!
“Zeze is your son. Ask yourself honestly, how many times have you taken care of him since he was born? Have you ever fed him or changed his diaper? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father even for a single day?”
"Zeze lost his mother when he was young, and you left him with the servants, ignoring him completely. Zeze is sensitive and timid, and instead of patiently teaching him, you treat him like an adult. Huo Beichen, you are truly incompetent!"
This was the first time Sheng Nanyin had said something so outrageous to him.
Huo Beichen's eyes narrowed. What did she just say about him? Incompetent?
"Sheng Nanyin, do you think I wouldn't dare do anything to you? That's why you dare to be so unscrupulous?"
"Huo Beichen, we're talking about the child right now, don't change the subject. How many times a year do you actually spend time with the child? This time it's just to let you take him out for a few days, and look at you, always with a sullen face, looking so grumpy. People who don't know you might think you're a stepfather!"
Sheng Nanyin had long harbored resentment, but she simply didn't voice it.
Huo Beichen was unhappy from the moment they started their trip. He had always suspected that he was the one who had instigated Zeze, but playing was a child's nature, and he simply didn't understand that.
"Zeze was kidnapped, did you even care about him for a single day? Even now, you know he still can't sleep well at night?"
The thought of the timid look on his little face when she saw him this time made her heart ache.
"You only have the name of a father, but you don't care about anything. You are a complete failure!"
Sheng Nanyin pointed at him and scolded him. After she finished scolding him, she squatted down and coaxed Zeze in a choked voice.
Before long, both the adult and the child started crying.
In his thirty years of life, Huo Beichen had never encountered anyone who dared to yell at him like that.
Does Sheng Nanyin even know her own identity? How dare she point her finger at me and curse me?
But seeing the two of them, one big and one small, hugging each other and crying, what were they doing so early in the morning?
After Sheng Nanyin finished crying, she wiped away the child's tears. "Zeze, don't cry. Are you hungry? I'll take you to have breakfast, okay?"
Zeze pouted and subconsciously looked at Huo Beichen.
Sheng Nanyin picked up the child directly, regardless of whether Huo Beichen was willing or not.
Since she'll hardly see her child again anyway, she might as well make things clear today.
If we don't point out his flaws, he'll really think he's something special.
