“Are you sure?” No one, except Lu Zhaoyang, could take responsibility for his private life.
“Xuxu is still here. Mind your words.” Lu Zhaoyang warned.
“We haven’t been close lately. Are you sure you have that kind of thing with me?”
Lu Zhaoyang noticed that he had mistaken her meaning. She sighed quietly and continued to discuss business with him.
After work, the three went to a restaurant. Xuxu had a good impression of Huo Yunting. The two had no problem municating with each other. It was a heartwarming scene. Lu Zhaoyang was in a pickle; was it something to be happy about? She asked herself.
“Uncle Yunting, you have been asking us to dinner constantly. Are you tackling Yang Yang?” After the meal, the observant Little Huo Xu held a cup of juice and looked curiously at Huo Yunting who sat opposite him.
Lu Zhaoyang glared at the kid for asking such an embarrassing question.
“Would you allow me to tackle her?” It seemed that Lu Zhaoyang had not told the child about their relationship.
“But Xuxu has a daddy!” The little guy answered as he looked up at Lu Zhaoyang. “Yang Yang, I have not seen Daddy for a long time.”
“Daddy is busy.” Lu Zhaoyang whispered, trying to keep calm, but deep down, her emotion was surging. With Huo Yunting’s machismo and possessiveness, he would surely get angry upon hearing this.
“Alright.” Little Huo Xu replied. But he noticed that the smile on Uncle Yunting’s face had faded away and wondered if he had said something wrong.
Huo Yunting had wanted to mend his relationship with Lu Zhaoyang during the dinner. But the mentioning of Huo Chen irked him when Xuxu called Huo Chen his daddy.
Once again, Huo Yunting realized the cruel reality that even if he and Lu Zhaoyang were still husband and wife, the child’s father was Huo Chen, and Lu Zhaoyang had never had him in her heart. Everything Lu Zhaoyang did four years ago was just to elope with the man she loved. Although she had e back, he was not the reason for her return.
While on the way back, Huo Li glanced at Huo Yunting a few times through the rearview mirror.
“Just say if you have something to say.” Huo Yunting’s voice showed that he was in a bad mood.
“Boss, I feel that you and Little Huo Xu have a lot of similarities. In case… I mean, maybe he is your son. Maybe your wife has been angry with you for not finding her and decided to keep the truth from you.” Huo Li felt that they should conduct a paternity test. He had gotten it half right.
It was not that Huo Yunting had never thought about this. But he and Huo Chen were of the same family. Huo Xu could resemble him as much as Huo Chen. That was why Huo Yunting was hesitant.
“Boss, I collected a few strands of hair while Xuxu was asleep. Why not we do a paternity test right away?” After keeping it to himself for so long, Huo Li finally plucked up the courage to ask. God knows he had been in a dilemma for the past few days; thinking of pluck a few hairs from Brother Ting’s head every time he saw him.
The car continued to drive forward. After a long while, Huo Li still did not get Huo Yunting’s reply—not until they arrived at the villa.
“It is not necessary for the time being.” Huo Yunting said. He was afraid to get disappointed.

At home, after cleaning herself up, the phone rang when Lu Zhaoyang hit the sack. She glanced at the screen, took a deep breath, and calmly picked it up. “Mom, what happened?”
“How are you there recently? Is everything okay?” Xue Yuming was careful with her words.
