Chapter 452

Ji Chengzhi stalled for a moment, "What do you mean by that...?"

The man sitting across tapped the table a few times, "The opening act isn’t bad, just a bit undercooked. A mere provocation is too kind, isn’t it time to turn up the heat?"

Ji Chengzhi: "..."

Is he a beast? Is he an animal? How can he indulge a woman like this in front of him?

Ji Chengzhi felt as if he had suffered ten thousand tons of damage: "Ou, are you not afraid that one day I’ll add something to your injection and kill you if you keep flaunting your love in front of me?"

Ou Mucen glanced over at him, his expression like that of someone watching an idiot, "You should see a psychologist, your mentality is extremely abnormal right now."

Ji Chengzhi almost coughed up blood...

What if he really killed him right now?

However, on second thought, since that woman might very well be the mother of his child, his anger seemed to diminish. So, he blurted out, "Fine, just indulge her. After all, she’s raised such a big child for you, it’s been hard."

"What?"

"Isn’t it the case? If you marry her in the future, Xiaobao will be your son. To suddenly gain such a big son out of nowhere, isn’t that a huge bargain?"

"..."

With just that look, Ou Mucen retracted his gaze.

Such words, if spoken to any other man, would surely cause some discomfort upon hearing them.

A woman who has been married and comes with a child, marrying her would always have some imperfections, since the child isn’t his own, and the woman wasn’t exclusively his from the start.

But at this moment, for some reason, Ou Mucen felt not the slightest discomfort after hearing these words; on the contrary, upon hearing that the child could become his son, calling him ’Dad’, something inside him felt completely filled, and an overwhelming sense of joy brought a slight smile to his lips.

Ji Chengzhi, sitting opposite him, was shocked to see such an expression!

This guy must be out of his mind. He’s talking about picking up a son out of the blue, not that the child is actually his. Why does he look as though the child really is his?

Ji Chengzhi felt as though he had seen a ghost!

Could it be... this is the legendary bond of blood being thicker than water?

Ye Ning went to bed early the night before because Xiaobao wasn’t feeling well and she had gone to sleep with him early.

She woke up early in the morning since she had gone to bed early, awakening as dawn was breaking. So, she got up from the bed, started to cook breakfast for Xiaobao, and, out of habit, picked up her phone to scroll through Weibo. But just as she picked up the phone, a call came in.

"Hello?"

"You’re up?"

As the call connected, a clear and deep voice came through. The familiar tone, the trademark brevity, almost made Ye Ning drop her spatula on the floor. noveldrama

"I’m up, you... why so early?"

"Doing a checkup, have you left the house?"

"Not yet, still cooking breakfast. Xiaobao wasn’t feeling well last night, so I didn’t want to take him out for breakfast this morning."

Not feeling well?

The voice in the phone immediately rose slightly upon hearing these words, "Is he okay?"

"He’s fine, he’s fine, just a little stomach upset. He’s much better after taking some medicine," Ye Ning quickly assured, soothing any worries. Meanwhile, the anxiety that had kept her tossing and turning all of last night began to dissipate unconsciously.
