Chapter 44 (1/2)

Cheng Liyue was revolted by this afternoon's meeting with Lu Junxuan. And now, she had to deal with Shen Junyao's diamond ring. The irony.

At six in the evening, she drove back to the Gong Residence. In actual fact, she didn't want to come, but her son was here. Where else could she go? Wherever her son was, there she would be.

The Gong castle was surrounded by greenery. Like a grand palace with lights illuminating the entire place, a majestic atmosphere pervaded the area.

Once Cheng Liyue walked in, a small figure rushed towards her. The next second she was enveloped in a hug. His sweet voice called out her, “Mommy, mommy, you're back!”

Cheng Liyue stooped down and returned his hug. She gave his little face a long kiss. This scene entered the sight of the elegant and forbidding figure who was standing on the stairs to the second floor. Gong Yexiao's inscrutable gaze was fixed on the woman who had just returned. He appeared to be in deep contemplation.

It had never occurred to him that he had slept with a married woman back then. After he came back, he picked up the report once again and found out that she had not been divorced on the night he had slept with her. She had only become a divorcee a week after they had slept together.

It caused him to speculate whether the reason for her divorce had been because they had slept with each other that night.

“Xiao Ze, why don't you go up to the second floor to play with your toys. I have something to discuss with your mommy.” Gong Yexiao's deep voice rang out as he looked intensely at his woman.

Cheng Liyue raised her head up to glance at the gorgeous man looking like he had just stepped out of a manga. She frowned. He was going to discuss child custody with her again?

“Mommy, daddy bought me lots and lots of toys today! I got my favorite robot, remote control plane, and an army tank!” The little boy gushed enthusiastically.

Who would have known that his mommy would direct a stern look at him. He immediately snapped his mouth shut. Feeling like he had been wronged, he gave her an innocent stare. Puffing his cheeks, he said, “I wasn't the one who wanted to buy them. Daddy bought them for me. Mommy, don't be mad, okay?”

Cheng Liyue lifted her head and immediately glared at the man who was walking towards them. “A child can't be too used to this. You can't just buy him everything that he wants even if you have the money to do so. You can't ruin my son's upbringing.”

Gong Yexiao arched his brow. This was what she thought of him?

“Can't I spoil my son?” Gong Yexiao replied.

“Our ideas regarding our son's upbringing must be aligned. Otherwise, what I've taught him all these years would be in vain.” Cheng Liyue reasoned.

Biting his lower lip, Gong Yexiao said to the little boy, “Head on upstairs to play. I want to talk to your mommy about matters concerning your upbringing.”

“Daddy, mommy, you both mustn't quarrel! I'll behave!” The little boy said, somewhat worried. He was afraid that his daddy and mommy would quarrel because of him.

“Don't worry. I'll have a nice chat with your mommy. There won't be any quarreling involved.”

“Daddy, you've promised me that you will love mommy. You must give in to mommy.” The little boy immediately brought out their promise.

Gong Yexiao's handsome face slightly froze. Just him and his son knowing about this promise would be enough. There really wasn't any need to let this woman know about it.

Cheng Liyue had a sharp hearing and overheard their conversation. He even promised his son that he would love her? Was he that shameless? Having known him for only a few days, he had already threatened her several times, and even wanted to take her to court, was this his way of loving her?

After the little boy went upstairs, Gong Yexiao's face was taut as he looked at her. “I promised our son that I will treat you very well on condition that you listen to me and not provoke me.”

Cheng Liyue huffed. “Who needs your love? I'm not lacking in men's love.”
