Chapter 28 (1/2)

Gong Yexiao's narrowed eyes swept over Cheng Liyue's face. It was evident that she agreed because she was tender-hearted.

“Daddy, is your house big? Is it pretty? Are there toys?” The little boy was bubbling with excitement.

“Have you ever seen a castle?”

“Yes! It's very, very big.”

“Daddy lives in a castle.”

“Wow! Sure enough, daddy is really rich.” Wide-eyed, the little boy gasped in admiration. Then turning to Cheng Liyue, he said, “Mommy, I didn't lie to you! Daddy is super rich. ”

Cheng Liyue was struck speechless. What has his wealthiness got to do with her?

“Daddy, I've got something to tell you! Mommy is being bullied by a bad aunt. Daddy, you must help mommy to vent her anger and back her up. That way she wouldn't be pushed around by that bad aunt any more.”

Gong Yexiao immediately fixed his gaze on Cheng Liyue. Intense and complex, his expression was impenetrable.

Cheng Liyue's face flushed, somewhat embarra.s.sed. Looking at the little boy sternly, she said, “Don't speak carelessly of my affairs. Who said I was being bullied?”

Blinking his big eyes, the little boy was at a loss. At this moment, the corners of Gong Yexiao's mouth rose into a smile. “Okay, I'll be her backing. Tell me, which bad aunt is it?”

Cheng Liyue was completely stumped. Were his words true or false? Or was it said to deceive her son?

“Mommy, what's the name of that bad aunt? You can tell daddy!”

“Your mommy is capable of handling her own affairs. There's no need for help.” Cheng Liyue stiffly replied. She wanted to keep her distance from this man. Why would she even want his a.s.sistance?

Besides, wasn't he going to sue her? If it wasn't for her son, even if she were being beaten to death, she wouldn't have agreed to go to his place for dinner tonight.

Of course, she could beg off by simply coming up with an excuse. However, she just couldn't stand back and do nothing while she watched this man lure her son away. What if he'd managed to wheedle his way into her son's heart and her son ended up liking him?

No, she definitely had to keep an eye on them. She knew that to win this lawsuit, her son had to be on her side.
