”No.” He didn't hesitate at all. There was no room for negotiation at all.

”No.”

Xiao Ze glared with a pair of shiny, black eyes, waiting for him accusingly: ”Father, without me, how would you be able to catch up to beautiful auntie?”

”You're still not admitting it! ”Since Grandmother said so, you will definitely marry a beautiful aunt in the future. She will definitely be my stepmother in the future.” Xiao Ze arrogantly snorted, as though he completely believed his grandmother's words.

On the other hand, he believed that Gu Xi Jue was acting cool.

Mentioning his mother, Gu Xi Jue's gaze grew even more sinister, her eyeballs moved. She sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, ”How did your grandmother know about Xia Lan?”

”Grandma went to have a meal with beautiful auntie. Don't you know that?” Xiao Ze was proud that he knew, but his father was unaware.

”When?” Gu Xi Jue felt a headache. Forget about the fact that he and Xia Lan were alright, even if there was really something, letting his mother know about Xia Lan's existence was not a good thing.

That old lady had never cared about anything big. It seemed like all the women in the world looked like his daughter-in-law.

”Oh yeah, Grandma even told beautiful auntie about my mother's unknown situation.” Xiao Ze crossed his arms as if he was telling the truth.

But Gu Xi Jue understood his son too well, his intelligence was much higher than his peers, this was not letting him know, this was telling him that he wanted to piss off his son.

Gu Xi Jue's eyes twitched, and his lips curled into a smile: ”Enough, go to sleep now.”

Xiao Ze was dumbstruck, after saying so much, was he going to borrow the phone or not?

”Dad, mobile …” Xiao Ze asked while discussing.

”Nope.” Gu Xi Jue rejected him flatly and thoroughly.

”Then when can I meet beautiful auntie!?” Xiao Ze was furious. He had not seen his beautiful aunt for a few days already and missed her so much.

”Weekend.” Gu Xi Jue continued to lower his head to busy himself.

Xiao Ze tilted his head as he thought about it, then haggled, ”Is it possible that I can see it every weekend?”

”If you don't go back to sleep, you'll never see her again.”

Gu Xi Jue's threat was very useful as he quickly ran out of the study.

After Xiao Ze left, Gu Xi Jue once again put down the things in his hands, leaned back in the chair, and rubbed his forehead, telling Xia Lan that he had messed up well, and had actually told Xia Lan about his and Xiao Ze's past.

Then …

An idea suddenly popped up in Gu Xi Jue's mind. Did Xia Lan actually mention her past to his mother?

If his mother found out that she had given birth to a child and didn't know who the father was, she would immediately fall out.

It was impossible for a wealthy family like theirs to allow such a woman into their home.

As for him, he felt that he wouldn't like this kind of woman who didn't know anything, but when he saw Xiao Yan and Xia Lan walking out of the office building and Xia Lan coming back dejectedly, he knew that he couldn't control himself.

but then he thought about it, how could he be any better? He didn't even know who Xiao Ze's mother was.

With him acting like this, what right did he have to despise Xia Lan?

Moreover, he still hadn't figured out what Xia Lan's past was like. It might not be as simple as she said, and it might not be that unbearable.

He didn't even know when he started to pay attention to Xia Lan and the interactions between her and Xiao Ze.

But he knew very well that he did not reject her into his life.
