。Roxy's fans are calling him manipulative, saying they never saw this side of him. 。Lu Xi retouched the pictures for both of them, but Ning Shu herself... 。Because this picture makes him look a litt...When Ning Shu went out, she just felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

He couldn't help but glance around. Several tables that had been occupied were now empty. The colleagues who served in the restaurant were standing nervously at the side, as if they had been given a private room.

Ning Shu followed her gaze and paused for a moment.

He was indeed "booked out," seeing as the restaurant seemed to be surrounded, with those people looking tall and imposing. He couldn't help but walk over, his gaze falling on a man's figure when he did so.

My steps came to a halt involuntarily.

Ning Shu's heart immediately tightened, and he couldn't help but glance at the other person's back. His heart felt a little tight, so he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Years have passed, that person may have forgotten about himself long ago. Besides, he was still at the press conference the other day, how could he possibly remember him, a small figure like him

The closer he got, the more uneasy he felt.

After all, that unique and noble bearing, Ning Shu had only ever seen it on one person.

His breathing quickened slightly.

But at this point, it was too late to back down. Ning Shu could only hope in her heart that this person wasn't who she imagined him to be.

The young man walked past, his bearing impeccable. His face was clear and fair, handsome and clean. Especially striking was his tall and slender figure, graceful and straight. He smiled slightly and said warmly, "Sir..."

A man's gaze fell upon him, his obsidian eyes fixed on him like they wanted to devour him whole. A chill ran down his spine and goosebumps erupted across his skin.

Ning Shu suddenly felt as if she were rooted to the spot, her mind going blank for a moment.

It was just a moment.

The man had already stood up, his eyes cast down slightly, that terrifying gaze inching forward. It was as if he were meticulously examining his own face, his voice as cold as ice when he spoke: "Long time no see."

Although he was speaking in polite terms, there was a hint of sinister amusement in Li Yan's voice.

There is still a bit of resentment.

Ning Shu's long eyelashes trembled involuntarily, he moved his lips, and finally tried his best to remain calm: "Mr. Li, it's been a long time."

Li Yan just stared at him with a blank expression, as if he wanted to strangle him.

He said in a flat tone, "Is there nothing you want to tell me"

Ning Shu didn't speak. After a while, she shook her head and said softly, "In the contract at the beginning, we agreed that I wouldn't ask for anything."

Li Yan seemed to understand the youth's meaning. He didn't want anything, just to be by his side. Was the other party now saying that they didn't want to follow him anymore

A surge of endless rage swelled in his chest, his eyes icy as he stared at the youth. "Did I ever agree to this Ning Shu, you think you can provoke me and then run away"

Ning Shu thought it was a bit strange.

He admitted that he had been with Li Yan for almost a year. But after so many times, the other party was already tired of it, otherwise he wouldn't have come back with that little star.

He only thought that Li Yan had been teased by him, and now that he found himself, he was just to torture and revenge.

Ning Shu's face turned pale involuntarily. If it were just him, that would be fine... But what about Xiao Che

As if they shared a father-and-son telepathic connection.

After Xiao Che's youth went out, he began to put down the Lego set he had already built. He couldn't help but look in the direction his father went, then suddenly ran down.

When Xiao Yang saw this, he immediately chased after her.

Ning Shu only heard a "Dad" before Xiao Che ran over and hugged him.

Li Yan's originally terrifying gaze shifted to the young man holding the milk dumpling. His aura underwent a drastic change in an instant, the surrounding coldness making Ning Shu's heart feel as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Ning Shu has never forgotten what Li Yan said back then.

His heart immediately filled with fear, and the color drained from his face. He couldn't let Li Yan see Xiao Che's face; anyone who saw Xiao Che with Li Yan would surely believe they weren't father and son.

What if Li Yan found out

Ning Shu couldn't imagine, he almost instantly, hugged Xiao Che tightly.

Then, trembling lips, he tightly covered his face.

While Li Yan's gaze was obscure, glancing between him and the little dumpling several times, his expression was ever-changing.

The atmosphere in the restaurant, at this moment, felt frozen.

Li Yan's tone was emotionless: "Your son"

But the tendons in his hand bulged, and bloodshot veins were visible in his eyes. Li Yan looked at the child being held tightly in the young man's arms; the other was afraid that he would hurt him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ning Shu, whose child is this with"

His tone had an indescribable creepiness to it.

Ning Shu was the first to sense the danger. He knew this kind of Li Yan all too well. The look in the other's eyes when they looked at Xiao Che held no warmth, nor emotion.

He trembled his lips and immediately said, "Li Yan, I can go back with you, but please don't hurt him, I beg you...."

Li Yan's gaze remained fixed on the child. He couldn't quite make out the baby's features. But the other possessed a head of soft black hair and a stretch of pale neck, as if it could be twisted with a gentle turn.

This sentence is translated as: "That will be broken." Let me know if you have any other phrases you'd like me to translate!

It is unknown who his mother was, as he was born to a young man. Whether he resembles his mother more or his father more is unclear.

Li Yan stared for a while, his expression had returned to calm.

But Ning Shu felt a great uneasiness.

Xiao Che's small hand kept grasping the young man's clothes, as if wanting to turn around.

Ning Shu's face changed slightly, and she whispered, "Good boy, Xiao Che." She pressed her son's face down while whispering in a low and humble plea, "Li Yan, I beg you... You can have anything..."

Li Yan glanced at him lightly and suddenly said, "Anything"

Ning Shu hummed in response.

He was afraid that Xiao Che would hear this, so he covered his ears and whispered softly: “I’ll continue to be your lover, no matter how happy you are….”

Xiao Che seemed to have realized something and started struggling desperately.

Li Yan looked coldly at the scene. In fact, before he arrived, he already knew that the young man had a child. The moment he found out, he smashed everything, furious like a lion.

He wished he could kill Ning Shu, best to strangle him, best to break his legs and make it impossible for him to go anywhere.

But Li Yan eventually calmed down. He didn't believe Ning Shu had the guts to do it. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.

But now.

Li Yan watched the filial scene unfold before him, all his emotions suppressed beneath his gaze. No one could tell what he was thinking, only that his dark eyes remained fixed on the young men.

"I promise you."

Li Yan was just as aloof as he had been years ago. Dignified, like someone who had stepped out of a painting, he spoke: “Ning Shu, but I want to settle every account from these past few years.”

"Dad."

Xiaoche couldn't help but struggle, clutching the young man's clothes as if trying to confirm something.

His father was leaving, going with a stranger.

Ning Shu endured the pain in his heart, he kissed Xiao Che's forehead and kept saying: "Dad will be back soon, you go stay at Uncle Liu's place for a few days, okay"

< Xiao Che was silent for a moment, he did not let go of her hand, and had already made his stance clear. >

Li Yan just watched coldly from the sidelines, especially when he saw this scene, he sneered slightly. Looking at the young man protecting the little ball of fluff in his arms, the darkness inside was boundless and endless, like lifeless stagnant water.

Ning Shu took a deep breath and pursed her lips, "I need some time to get to know you."

Li Yan looked at him: "What qualifications do you have to make demands of me" He stared fixedly at the young man: "Sometimes... I really want to strangle you."

Ning Shu looked at the hatred in his eyes and didn't speak. She just pleaded, "Li Yan, I beg you."

Li Yan remained silent.

Finally, she agreed to his request with indifference.

Ning Shu sent Xiao Che to Liu Heng's house. Xiao Che suddenly grabbed him and said, "Are you leaving Are you not going to want me anymore"

His face was expressionless, his dark eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

Ning Shu suddenly thought of Li Yan, that man also looked at him like that.

He had a moment of silence, then squatted down and touched Xiao Che's head, saying softly, "Dad will be back."

"You're lying."

< Xiao Che suddenly said: "If you leave, you won't come back." >

"You don't want me anymore."

He said firmly.

A hint of sourness appeared in Ning Shu's eyes. He held Xiao Che tightly and after a long while, he said, "Dad won't lie to you."

Xiao Che didn't speak, he just let him hold him.

Li Yan's people were waiting outside. Ning Shu touched his son's face and said, "Daddy... Daddy will be back."

Xiao Che just looked at him, expressionless.

As Ning Shu was about to leave, she suddenly said, "Why are you afraid of him seeing my face"

Ning Shu only then realized who Xiao Che was referring to.

He was taken aback, his mouth agape, unable to find words.

Xiao Che said again, "Dad, I've always known that I was born to you."

This is what Ning Shu heard when she left.

.....

Li Yan was waiting for her in the car.

When Ning Shu left, she still couldn't help but cast a wistful glance in Xiao Che's direction.

Li Yan's eyes turned cold as he said, "Are you so unwilling to give up on that little bastard"

Ning Shu heard him using such harsh words and spoke up, “He is not a bastard. He is my son.”

Li Yan sneered: "Ning Shu, after I've slept with you so many times, can you still have children with a woman"

The youth looked up and met the man's icy gaze. He stared back, his face impassive, his eyes filled with disgust and hatred that bordered on the extreme.

Ning Shu closed her eyes slightly, and after a long while, she softly said: "Well, Xiao Che is my life, Li Yan, don't touch him, or I will fight you to the death."ed to look at him, his tone calm: "Although it's not against the law, I still have the ability to make you taste the bitterness."That voice sent a shiver down Song Yan's spine.He unconsciously straigh...
