Chapter 47 (1/2)

Her heart was racing for quite some time.

She got out of bed and closed the door hastily making sure to turn the lock. She didn't want the man to take advantage of her again in the middle of the night.

Gong Yexiao did not return but chose another room. But before he could sleep, he needed to extinguish the fire in his body.

Early morning

Cheng Liyue woke up, disorientated. A pair of beautiful big eyes loomed into sight. The little boy had already woken up. Holding his chin up with his hands, he beamed at her.

“Xiao Ze, you're awake.” Cheng Liyue sat up and fondled his head.

“Mommy, where's daddy? Where did daddy go? ” The little fellow asked curiously.

Her face flushed. Just thinking of what happened last night, got her annoyed. But her tone remained calm as she answered her son. “I'm not too sure either.”

“Why was it that you didn't sleep in bed last night, and today it became daddy's turn to not sleep in bed? Did you both quarrel? ” The little boy asked perceptively.

“It's not like that!” Cheng Liyue forced out a laugh.

“Oh! Mommy, get up, let's have breakfast. Daddy said he will bring me to his company to play today.”

“What will you be playing at his company?” Cheng Liyue was curious.

“Daddy's company is so big and domineering, I just wanted to go there and play.” The little boy loved all things powerful. He had Gong Yexiao's boldness running through his veins.

Cheng Liyue was at loss for words. Patting his head, she said. “Okay then. Go ahead and play. Recently mommy has been getting more busy with work.”

“Mommy, don't worry. I will obediently listen to daddy.”

After was.h.i.+ng up, the mother-and-son pair went downstairs. From the closet in the guest bedroom, Cheng Liyue had selected a blouse with floral print coupled with a high-waist skirt. She had a standard figure and therefore could work any type of clothes on her body.

When they came down, Gong Yexiao was already seated on the sofa, reading the newspaper. Holding her son's hand in hers, Cheng Liyue shot a glare at the man.

She had yet to settle accounts with him.

Seeing her angry, he c.o.c.ked his eyebrow and gave her a devilish smile.

“Daddy, where did you go last night?”

“Daddy suddenly thought of some work that I had to complete last night and came out to work.” Gong Yexiao smiled.

“Oh! Daddy, let's have breakfast. After we've finished eating, we can all leave together. That way you can send mommy to work.”

“I… I don't need a lift.” Cheng Liyue didn't want to be stuck with him. The incident last night had already cast a shadow on her.

“Are you sure? I won't be lending you my car today. ”

“I can always call a cab!” Cheng Liyue was not intimidated by this.

“Any vehicle would have to get through security before they are allowed on the road leading to the Gong residence. Without my permission, unauthorized vehicles are not allowed in.”

Cheng Liyue fixed him with a stare and remained quiet. If she were to walk, half an hour of walking in her heels would certainly tire her out.

“Mommy, just ride in daddy's car!” The little boy was worried for her.

“Xiao Ze, why don't you have breakfast first? I have some matters to discuss with your daddy.” Cheng Liyue stooped down and said to the little fellow.

The little boy frowned and pouted in reluctance. “Daddy, mommy, why are you guys always whispering sweet nothings[1] to each other daily? Can't you say them in front of me?”
