Chapter 27 (1/2)

Snagging his lower lip with his teeth, Gong Yexiao fixed his steely gaze on her. Preparing to negotiate, he said, “In that case, what do you want? How much will it cost? Name a price, I'll meet it.”

Money? Darn it. Just because he has money, he thinks he has got a free pa.s.s to insult someone?

“I don't need anything else except for my son. You'd better stay away from him.” Cheng Liyue warned with a look.

Gong Yexiao narrowed his eyes. There was a ruthless gleam in his eyes. This woman was really obstinate. He let out a snort. “If necessary, I'll see you in court. I believe my lawyers will let you know who is more qualified to bring up this child.”

This was definitely a threat.

And it was not just a simple threat.

Cheng Liyue widened her eyes. All these years, she hadn't been working in the company for nothing. A person of his status will definitely not be the losing party in a lawsuit. That was why he wanted to use his wealth to subdue her.

“Go on ahead with the legal proceedings. I'm not afraid of you.” Losing people without losing in battle array[1], Cheng Liyue did not want to be a spineless coward. [2]

“Alright then, it will be just as you'd said. Be sure to wait for the service of process. Also, I'll be bringing my son home with me tonight.” Gong Yexiao's face was filled with self-a.s.surance.

Cheng Liyue chewed on her red lips. She was livid to the point where she wished she could just give him a slap on the face. That night — four years ago — had left her with nothing. And now he even want to rob her of her son?

“Not possible. The kid will not be with anyone else other than me.” Her eyes had reddened. The pretty, almond-shaped eyes were filled with resentment at this very moment.

Gong Yexiao looked at her, somewhat vexed. He hated the tears of a woman the most.

When he was playing in Yan Yang's office, all the while the little boy was concerned for his daddy and his mommy. He thought to himself: this was the first time they met after four years, not sure if they would quarrel. So, he wanted to take a look.

Seizing the chance when Yan Yang went to wash some fruits, he immediately stole out of her office. Arriving at Gong Yexiao's office, he pushed the door slightly ajar.

Gong Yexiao was facing the door. So, when he heard the door being pushed open, he instantly knew that it was the little fellow entering. Looking at the angry woman in front of him who was on the verge of tears, he instinctively reacted. He abruptly wound his arms around her and pulled the teary-eyed woman into his embrace.
