Zeng Ye's words startled Wen Qiuxin, who immediately questioned him, "Xiao Ye, are you still thinking about that woman?"
"She already has a child, why can't you forget her?"
Zeng remained silent for a moment, then said, "Mom, you don't need to worry about these things."
"I don't need you to worry about me anymore."
He should have known from the beginning that his mother's mind wouldn't change because of him.
Even after so many years, it's still the same.
——
Liu Yin always had a good grasp of timing. When Liang Nanxing came up to her again, she gently pushed him away, saying, "Xiao Xi is about to wake up. We should go out."
Upon hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in the man's eyes. He lowered his head and kissed Liu Yin's hair, and Liang Nanxing began to tidy her clothes.
"You go take a shower first, I'll go check on Xiaoxi."
Liu Yin nodded, "Okay."
When Liang Nanxing went upstairs, Xize had already opened his eyes, but he was still lying in bed.
Seeing Liang Nanxing walk in, Xize frowned and asked, "Uncle, where's my mom?"
"Your mother's clothes are dirty, and she's in the bathroom."
The man smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice, "I came up to see if you were awake."
“Oh, Uncle,” Caesar asked, “Are you with your mother?”
Liang Nanxing hadn't expected Xize to ask such a question, and her ears suddenly felt hot. "Yes."
The man's heart leaped into his throat. "Don't worry, I'll treat your mother very well."
"Of course, I will treat you very well."
Caesar wasn't concerned about those things. "I don't need you to be nice to me, just nice to my mother."
Even if a man treats him badly, it doesn't matter, he still has his father.
"Okay, I promise you."
A smile finally appeared on Xize's face. "Uncle, let's go find Mom."
More than his father, Xize hopes his mother can be happy.
From a very young age, he remembered that his mother rarely saw his father, except when his father came to visit him.
But often, after only a short while, Mom would go out shopping.
Nishizawa was still young then and didn't understand why. He thought his parents' relationship was normal.
But as he grew older, Xize realized that the relationship between the two was a bit abnormal, for example, his father never lived with them.
Mom didn't like Dad coming to the manor, and she always gave him a time limit.
The most peaceful time for the two was when Xize made a wish on his fifth birthday to travel with his parents.
After returning from that trip, Caesar no longer held any hope that the two would reconcile.
Nishizawa had actually heard from the family's maid that his parents had divorced.
He later asked the butler, who said that the two had divorced before he was even born.
So Xize began to feel a little guilty. If it weren't for having to stay with him, his mother could have lived her own life.
However, it's not bad to be back in China now.
When Liuyin came out of the bathroom, she saw two people sitting on the sofa, laughing and talking.
What are you talking about?
Liu Yin walked over with a curious look and leaned closer to look at the piece of paper in Liang Nanxing's hand.
"Mom, Uncle said he's going to design a room for me."
Liang Nanxing lived alone, and apart from the first and second floors, the top floor was empty.
He's planning to renovate the third floor now, preparing a bedroom, a study, and a toy room.
"Oh?" Liu Yin raised an eyebrow at him, her eyes full of laughter.
Liang Nanxing raised his head slightly and explained, "I don't have much here besides the art studio. If Xiaoxi is going to stay here, we'll need to prepare a few more things."
Liu Yin understood perfectly what he meant.
She didn't say anything, but simply sat down next to the man and looked at the blueprints in his hands with Xize.
"Mom, this is my toy room."
Xize pointed to a spot on the paper. Although he already had many toys, he wouldn't mind if he were given more.
"What about this one?"
"This is my bedroom."
In the evening, Wang Yue came to the villa to cook as usual.
She wasn't curious anymore, since the Liang family already knew about it.
She's just a salaried employee; this matter really has nothing to do with her.
As Liang Nanxing was peeling shrimp for Xize, Liu Yin suddenly spoke up, "I'm going out tomorrow, and I might have to trouble you to take care of Xiao Xi."
The man paused in his work, then smiled and said, "Xiao Xi is very well-behaved; taking care of him is no trouble at all."
He really wanted to ask her if she was going out to see Zeng Ye.
After all, she didn't know many people here; her closest friend back then was Zeng Ye.
But when the words reached his lips, Liang Nanxing couldn't bring himself to ask them, so he could only use a smile to hide his inner desolation.
With his mouth full of food, Xize suddenly heard his mother about to leave, and simply blinked his beautiful eyes.
He didn't ask, assuming his mother was going out to buy things as usual.
When a man has something on his mind, he tosses and turns in bed, unable to fall asleep when the night is quiet.
As soon as Liang Nanxing closed his eyes, he could almost recall the scene of Liu Yin and Zeng Ye kissing.
At that time, he was just an observer.
He didn't actually want Liuyin to see Zengye, but he had no reason not to let her go.
How should I put it? Should I bluntly express his jealousy?
He was the first to know the name Ye Liuyin.
The man closed his eyes in anguish. He was so close. Why hadn't he gone to see her back then?
In the stillness of the night, even the faintest sound can be amplified.
Hearing the noise from the door, Liang Nanxing got out of bed and whispered, "Why are you here?"
"Come and see someone who seems unhappy."
The soft mattress sank slightly as Liu Yin took the man's arm. "Aren't you happy today?"
"As you know, Zeng and I have already broken up."
Liang Nanxing turned to look at Liu Yin, "I know."
"But I still feel very uncomfortable."
Liu Yin raised her hand and gently stroked the man's cheek, saying softly, "I only met with him to say goodbye. After all, our breakup back then was very ugly."
"Don't worry, there won't be anything else."
After all, she was quite satisfied with what happened today.
“That’s true, then Xiaoxi and I will wait for you at home.” The man lowered his eyes slightly and said to Liuyin in a conciliatory manner.
Having received the man's reply, Liu Yin slightly curved her lips and lightly tapped the man's chest.
Let's continue with what we did this afternoon.
Between breaths, Liuyin said haltingly, "Turn on the light."
Only by the light could she see the man's eyes, filled with desire, which captivated her.
Sweat and breath mingled, and the once-neat bed sheets were now stained and mottled.
