Song Lingshan got straight to the point.
"Let's meet. I'm at the Peninsula Cafe near your company, in the last private room on the second floor."
Without even thinking, Su Luo decisively refused.
"Sorry, it's not convenient for me here."
Song Lingshan said casually.
"I brought my son!"
"?!?!"
Sulo froze on the spot.
son?
Whose son?
His son with Song Lingshan?
Was it the little boy who looked a lot like me that I met at Happy Valley that day?
Song Lingshan continued.
"Whether you come or not is up to you. I'll only wait for you for fifteen minutes."
"I……"
The call was immediately hung up by Song Lingshan, without letting Su Luo finish speaking.
Su Luo pinched her thigh hard.
It hurts, it hurts a lot, I'm not dreaming.
What was bound to happen has happened; there's no escaping it, after all, it's the result of our own actions.
Su Luo staggered out of the office.
I don't even know how I got to the coffee shop. When I came to my senses, I was already standing at the door of the private room.
Su Luo took a deep breath, composed herself, and pushed open the door to the private room.
At a glance.
Song Lingshan was cutting a small cake for a very handsome little boy with her head down, a very heartwarming scene.
Su Luo stood frozen in place, her feelings a complex mix of fear, surprise, confusion, and above all, utter helplessness.
Song Lingshan put down her knife and fork, pointed at Su Luo and said to her son, "Look, this is your father."
Su Yu looked up curiously and said in surprise.
"Uncle, it's you! Do you remember me? You treated me to two ice creams before..."
Although his mother said that this uncle was his father, he couldn't bring himself to call him that for a moment, since this uncle was just a stranger he had met once before.
But he was still very happy because he was very impressed with this uncle. He was not only generous, but also so handsome, so incredibly handsome.
It's quite prestigious to be your own father; I feel like he and my mother are a perfect match.
Su Luo nodded helplessly and said stiffly.
"Remember……"
Song Lingshan rubbed her son's head and gave him instructions.
"Okay, Mom and Dad need to talk alone. Go downstairs and find your aunt."
"Uh-huh."
Su Yu obediently jumped off the chair, walked to the door, and didn't forget to turn around and say goodbye to Su Luo.
Only Su Luo and Song Lingshan remained in the room.
Su Luo remained frozen in place, motionless, like a robot.
Song Lingshan scoffed, "What's wrong? You've gotten so stupid in just a few years. What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."
Su Luo snapped out of her daze, sat down opposite Song Lingshan, licked her lips, but didn't know what to say.
He just stared at Song Lingshan in silence. Five years had passed, and she seemed to have changed a lot. It wasn't her face or figure that had changed, but her temperament.
She wore a white silk shirt and a black pencil skirt, similar to her usual style, with her hair neatly pinned up behind her ears.
It's as beautiful as ever.
But compared to before, she has lost some of her sharp edges, and she no longer exudes the same invisible pressure when you get close to her. She seems to have gained a gentleness that she didn't have before.
Seeing that Su Luo didn't speak, Song Lingshan teased.
"What, you think this child isn't yours? Should I take him to get a paternity test?"
Su Luo shook her head.
"No, it must be mine."
There's no need for a paternity test. He had already started to doubt whether the child was his when he saw him last time, as the child looked so much like him. Now that Song Lingshan had brought the child to him, he could be certain.
Song Lingshan nodded in satisfaction and asked with a smile.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Su Luo smiled wryly and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Since Song Lingshan raised the child all by herself and only came to negotiate with me today, she must already have her own answer.
Song Lingshan stared into his eyes and said calmly.
"Marry me."
Su Luo was at a loss.
"Are you asking me to abandon Xiaoman? She took care of me for five years, how can I just throw her away like that?"
“Then I’ll compromise and spend more time with me and the kids. You don’t need to come every day; just help take the kids to and from school from Monday to Friday.”
Song Lingshan didn't intend to go straight to the point. She knew that it wasn't realistic to have Su Luo marry him now and abandon Ye Xiaoman.
After all, she and Su Luo hadn't been in contact for five years, and she needed time to nurture their relationship and rekindle their old flame.
"..."
Su Luo fell silent. Song Lingshan meant that while he was dating Ye Xiaoman, he should secretly take care of her and the child behind Ye Xiaoman's back.
Will this work?
If Ye Xiaoman finds out, I'm doomed.
But the child is his own, not just Song Lingshan's. He could ignore it before because he didn't know, but now that he knows, he has to take responsibility.
After a long pause, Su Luo slowly spoke.
“Ling Shan, my son is mine, and I will definitely take care of him. But please understand that I have a girlfriend now, and I don’t want to hurt her. I can spend more time with the child, but I can’t do what you said, like fixed Monday to Friday. I can pay more child support.”
Song Lingshan sneered.
"Do I need your child support? I admit you're different now. You've gone from being a wage earner to the owner of a media company, but so what? Your income is still worlds apart from mine."
"..."
Su Luo wanted to take back her previous thoughts. Although Song Lingshan's temperament had changed somewhat, her words were still as sharp as before.
It would be easy to crush his fragile self-esteem.
Song Lingshan raised her eyebrows in displeasure and said forcefully.
"What, am I wrong? I'm telling you I'm not here to discuss this with you, I'm here to inform you that whether you like it or not, you have to make time for me and the child, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Su Luo said calmly.
"Why aren't you being polite? Are you going to kill me?"
Song Lingshan narrowed her fox-like eyes and smiled.
"If you're not willing, I'll have to talk to your girlfriend."
Su Luo tried hard to stay rational, her brain working at lightning speed. Finally, she found a loophole in Song Lingshan's words and said in a deep voice.
"Aren't you good friends? I think she should have known you were carrying my child a long time ago, but she never told me. Given that, do you think I'd be afraid of you confronting her?"
He's not afraid of Song Lingshan negotiating with Ye Xiaoman now; what he's afraid of is that if he agrees to Song Lingshan's conditions, Ye Xiaoman will find out one day.
The nature of the situation will be different then.
Song Lingshan snorted coldly.
"Wow, you've gotten smarter. I thought you were still as silly as before."
"..."
Su Luo fell silent again.
He couldn't feel happy at all, even though Song Lingshan had praised him.
My head is starting to hurt a little.
Song Lingshan elegantly picked up the coffee on the table and took a small sip.
