"..."

Shu Cunyu understood Huo Jinnan’s meaning and sat there pondering.

Huo Jinnan didn’t speak again and quietly waited.

After a long time, Shu Cunyu spoke heavily, "Since it’s Mengmeng’s child, I’ll go to Mr. Huo to pick her up. Thank you for informing, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jinnan said nothing further and directly hung up the phone.

Returning to the living room, he called Huo Bei, "Be cautious tonight."

After hanging up, he saw Qin Huan holding Xiaoliao on the sofa playing, still playing the strawberry game!

He walked over, "Come here, let Daddy hold you."

Xiaoliao glanced back at Huo Jinnan and buried his head in Qin Huan’s chest, his little face hiding there.

Huo Jinnan stood there and slightly smiled at Qin Huan, "Come, let me hold him."

Qin Huan turned to look at Huo Jinnan, unable to discern any emotion from his face.

Really just want to hold his son?

After hesitating for a moment, thinking Xiaoliao interacted too little with Huo Jinnan, he still handed him over.

Huo Jinnan took Xiaoliao and glanced down.

Xiaoliao looked at Huo Jinnan, turned his head away, and looked toward Qin Huan.

"Daddy will hold you to look around."

Huo Jinnan held Xiaoliao and walked to the balcony.

Qin Huan turned to look, wondering if Huo Xiaoer would mistreat his own son?

Huo Jinnan carried him to the balcony, looking down at Xiaoliao, his eyes cold, giving a warning glance.

Xiaoliao took one look at Huo Jinnan, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

Huo Jinnan, "..."

After holding for a while and seeing Xiaoliao asleep, he carried him back to the living room and said to Qin Huan, "He’s asleep, let’s go back to the room."

Qin Huan took a look and indeed he was asleep, followed Huo Jinnan back to the room.

...

The next day, after breakfast, they took a walk and just returned to the bedroom when Huo Jinnan received a call from Shen Mubai.

"Both results are out. It’s not Qin Shaojin’s; it’s Shu Cunyu’s child."

Huo Jinnan stood there and furrowed his brows, "Got it."

After hanging up the call, he glanced at his phone; Shu Cunyu didn’t call again.

He called Qin Shaojin to inform him of the result.

Qin Shaojin told Shu Ran.

Shu Ran called Shu Cunyu, "Brother, Mengmeng’s child was identified as yours! Why do you keep saying Xiaosan..."

Shu Cunyu heard and stood there for a long time without speaking, then hung up the phone!

His child?

Is it really his?

Suddenly remembered a year when Mengmeng got pregnant and gave birth to a child, but covered it with placenta and wrappings to smother it.

That day, he was standing right outside her room door.

She didn’t go to the hospital, didn’t call anyone, just gave birth there.

He clearly heard the baby’s cries, and it cried for a long time. Later when he went in, Mengmeng said the baby died right after birth.

The child was thrown in a plastic bag, not wrapped tightly. He glanced at it, the tiny baby was all purple, fists clenched tightly, wrappings still over the baby’s head, umbilical cord wrapped around the neck...

He closed his eyes, not wanting to recall that image.

It was a mistake from the start. He didn’t expect to drink too much that night, didn’t expect to mistake Mengmeng for her.

And didn’t expect Mengmeng couldn’t accept it and would point the finger at Xiaosan!

He accepted the mistake hoping Mengmeng could marry Xiaosan and be happy, but things didn’t go as planned. Later, he fell in love with Mengmeng, but Mengmeng saw him as Xiaosan—

Gradually calming down, he stood there contemplating.

Mengmeng couldn’t possibly give birth to his child, being so ruthless, even able to smother her own child!

Huo Jinnan, Xiaosan, and Xiaoran teamed up to set a trap for him?
