Chen Qiao smiled and said, "Young Master Lin is so handsome and dashing. In this city alone, there would be a long line of girls who want to marry him."
Hearing this, Lin's mother's expression relaxed considerably.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
“Don’t be discouraged,” Lin’s mother said. “No matter what my son thinks, I’m determined to be your friend. We’ll see each other often from now on.”
Chen Qiao agreed, "If Aunt Lin needs my help in the future, just let me know."
Lin's mother nodded in satisfaction.
The two talked for a while longer. Before leaving, Lin's mother asked the nanny to prepare two large bags of things and insisted that Lin take them with her.
She had just put her things in the car when she looked up and saw Lin Zhibai standing not far away, looking at her.
"Young Master Lin." She walked over and smiled awkwardly, "Regarding the contract, I really wasn't doing it for personal gain; I just wanted to share Mr. Gu's burden."
"She manages the company and the children every day, it must be exhausting."
Lin Zhibai's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "You really don't know who the child's father is?"
Chen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Lin Zhibai stared at her, his eyes gleaming like searchlights, revealing no secrets he could keep to himself.
Chen Qiao lowered her eyes and said, "I...I really don't know. Young Master Lin, if you want to know, you can ask President Gu."
A hint of dejection appeared in Lin Zhibai's eyes. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know what stance to take.
Chen Qiao looked sympathetic. "I... I can't say for sure either. But in a couple of days, President Gu is going abroad for a meeting, but he's not bringing his assistant or secretary."
Lin Zhibai looked at her.
She hurriedly shook her head: "This doesn't prove anything. President Gu is very capable. It's nothing for him to hold a meeting by himself."
Lin Zhibai stepped past her and said, "Thank you."
She stood there for a while, then turned to look at his figure, and lingered there for a long time.
...
A limousine slowly came to a stop in front of a villa.
Huafei peered at the villa through the car window.
This area is a villa district developed in the city five years ago.
Both the location and the apartment layout perfectly suit Huo Beichen's newly minted status as a wealthy man.
The driver opened the car door and politely said, "Dr. Hua, please."
Hua Fei got out of the car and walked into the villa, looking slightly surprised.
Compared to the villa's luxurious exterior, the interior decoration appears overly minimalist.
The furnishings inside were also very simple; apart from the necessities of daily life, there was nothing superfluous.
The colors are mainly gray, white, and dark blue, with the only eye-catching elements being the paintings hanging on the wall.
The brushstrokes are immature, and the colors are bright but messy; it's clearly the work of a child.
Hua Fei's gaze was drawn to one of the paintings, which depicted a man and a woman leading two children, one big and one small, towards the sunset on a grassy field.
Although the children only drew their silhouettes, the overall atmosphere of the painting was very pleasant.
"I drew that," a child's voice suddenly rang out.
Hua Fei looked down and saw her patient, Huo Beichen's son, Zeze, running to her side.
She asked, "What are you drawing?"
Zeze replied, "Family."
Hua Fei looked puzzled: "Besides you, you have another child in your family?"
“I saw your dad’s girlfriend that day; she wasn’t pregnant.”
Zeze looked serious and said, “You don’t understand.” He seemed quite mature for his age.
Hua Fei was stunned.
"Dr. Hua is here," Huo Beichen said as he came down from the second floor. "Let's begin."
Hua Fei glanced at him indifferently, "I need to see first whether President Huo has recreated my treatment room in a one-to-one ratio."
Huo Beichen looked towards the first-floor corridor: "Just walk in."
Hua Fei followed him to the depths of the first floor and was immediately taken aback by what she saw.
All three rooms were renovated to be exactly the same as her treatment room in the suburbs.
Even the patterns on the tables, chairs, and benches are the same.
If she hadn't just come out of the treatment room that morning, she would have suspected that he had sent someone to move the tables and chairs from the treatment room.
However, the surprise and praise could only be kept deep in my heart; I would never say it aloud.
"Dr. Hua, how is it? Does it meet the treatment criteria?" Huo Beichen asked.
"It looks alright overall," Hua Fei said calmly. "The details that are not quite right can only be discovered gradually during the treatment process."
Huo Beichen immediately summoned two men and said to Hua Fei, "One of them is called A Long, and the other is called Abiao. Just tell them what you need to do."
The two men looked at Hua Fei respectfully.
Hua Fei nodded: "Then let's begin today's treatment."
Huo Beichen raised his hand slightly: "No rush, Dr. Hua, this is just what I prepared for you. Let's go see where you can rest."
Hua Fei didn't stand on ceremony and followed him into another room on the first floor.
The room was very tidy, unlike the simple and dull decor outside.
The furnishings here exude a refined femininity: light pink silk bedding, lace-trimmed curtains, gold-rimmed water glasses, and a faint jasmine scent wafting from the wardrobe…
Hua Fei frowned: "Mr. Huo, is this my style in your eyes?"
Before Huo Beichen could answer, she waved her hand and said, "The treatment room is very spacious. I'm fine staying in the treatment room."
Huo Beichen remained calm and composed, his words carrying a deeper meaning: "Dr. Hua, I thought you would really like it here."
Hua Fei was speechless: "Where do you get the idea that I would like this kind of environment?"
Just then, a small figure darted in.
Zeze!
"It smells so good!" Zeze first sniffed, then was stunned by the sight of the room. After a moment, he called out two words: "Mommy! Mommy!"
He immediately turned to look at Huo Beichen: "Dad, is my mom back?"
Huo Beichen remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on Hua Fei as if trying to see right through her.
Hua Fei looked completely bewildered.
But she immediately realized what was happening and sneered, "Mr. Huo, so you think I'm Sheng Nanyin just like everyone else?"
"Sheng Nanyin?" Zeze looked at Huo Beichen, then at Hua Fei. "Dad, you're saying she's my mom?"
"But she doesn't look like my mom."
Huo Beichen's face was gloomy, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Mr. Huo, I don't know what you and your girlfriend are up to, but I'm just a doctor and I don't want to get involved in your conspiracy." After saying that, Hua Fei turned and left.
Zeze came up to Huo Beichen, looked up at him, and asked, "Dad, where is my mom?"
Huo Beichen gently stroked his little head, a hint of affection appearing in his expression: "We will find her."
After a day of treatment, Zeze slept soundly that night.
After getting ready, Hua Fei lay down on the treatment bed.
In her dazed state, she heard a faint sound of footsteps.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and a figure was already beside her. Before she could react, the figure leaned down and kissed her lips.
