Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Song Qingyi remained silent.

He and Li Xixi had a paternity test done, and it turned out he wasn't Xixi's biological father. Li Jingchen kept urging him to do it again.

What if he is... wouldn't he be... the only bastard who slept with Li Qinghe?!

Song Qingyi had secretly found out Li Xixi's birth date and was using that information to calculate when Li Qinghe became pregnant...

It was around the time when he frequently went to the Nightfall Bar.

Li Qinghe said, "Actually, I still long for love, but I'm not in a hurry anymore. Maybe my destiny hasn't arrived yet."

Song Qingyi snapped out of her daze, looked up, and said meaningfully, "Qinghe, you're still young, you'll definitely find a good man who loves you very much."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Qingyi. What about you? Are you in a relationship?"

“I can’t talk about it. I have a knot in my heart, and I can’t get married and have children until that knot is untied.”

"What aspect? Can you tell me about it?" Li Qinghe asked curiously.

Song Qingyi could tell anyone, but she couldn't tell Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe blinked. "Okay, fine, if you don't want to tell me, I can guess. It's that woman named Shu Yi in your phone."

Song Qingyi explained, "She's my ex-girlfriend."

"Then why did you break up?"

"She has her pursuits, and I have my career. If we're not on the same path, then we'll break up."

"...Have you not considered trying to win her back?"

“She’s married,” Song Qingyi said helplessly. “Why would I want to ruin her happy marriage?”

Li Qinghe didn't say anything more. Was Song Qingyi still in love with Shu Yi, which was why he felt melancholy and unhappy? This was his unresolved issue.

Is it true that loving someone causes feelings of resentment?

"Brother Qingyi, I hope you can resolve this knot in your heart soon and pursue your happiness."

"More than my own happiness, I hope you and Xixi can be happy,"

"Qinghe, Xixi is a child I really like. If you and Xixi have anything to talk about, just tell me."

These words kept echoing in Li Qinghe's ears.

Song Qingyi said that he hoped she and Xixi could be happy more than he could be happy.

He also said that I could talk to him about anything.

Why is this?

Why does he like Xixi so much...?

After returning home, Li Qinghe thought about it for a long time.

How could she dare to ask for too much? She didn't know when it started, but the name Song Qingyi had become like a mark on her heart, as if scratched by a cat's claw.

I first noticed him because she helped his sister-in-law keep Xiao Yangyang's secret by switching the paternity report.

Then she met a nice man named Shen Lin. Coincidentally, he was Song Qingyi's cousin. As soon as he heard that she had a child, he immediately backed down. Song Qingyi even helped her teach him a lesson.

Then, out of pity for her being a woman with a child, he helped her take care of Xixi many times.

Song Qingyi also helped her keep the secret and prevented her family from finding out.

Gradually, he and she began to have more interactions, and he also began to have more interactions with Xixi.

Li Qinghe rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the exceptionally round moon outside the window, her mind filled with memories of her time with Song Qingyi.

"Qinghe." Lu Chunlian walked over. "What are you thinking about? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Mom, I just want to think about work."

Lu Chunlian then said, "Did you go to work today? I saw you dressed up especially for the occasion."

Li Qinghe blushed and avoided eye contact. "I just went out to meet a friend."

"Is this a friend you like? If you like her, go for it and try to develop a relationship with her."

"Forget it, isn't it good for me to focus on building my career now? I'll have the confidence to earn a lot of money."

Lu Chunlian sighed, "I know your older brother and sister-in-law have helped you a lot at work. Although work is important, you're at the age where you should be getting married."

Li Qinghe interrupted Lu Chunlian, put her hands on Lu Chunlian's shoulders, and said helplessly, "Mom... what era is this? You guys got married early back then, but we all get married late now."

“It’s not that I’m afraid of you. I’m just younger now. You have a child, so it’s better to get married sooner rather than later.”

"But you have to meet the right person before you can get married. You can't just marry anyone. Mom, I don't want to go on blind dates anymore."

She no longer wanted to be humiliated, belittled, or ridiculed.

Lu Chunlian patted Li Qinghe's hand, "If all else fails, I'll ask your older brother and sister-in-law to introduce you to someone. The people they know are definitely of high quality."

Li Qinghe shook her head. The connections and resources Jiang Tong and Li Jingchen possessed were far beyond her reach, and besides…

For some reason, Song Qingyi's image kept lingering in her mind.

"Mom, don't worry about me, go to sleep."

"Then you should go to sleep early too."

"Alright, alright, I'm a grown woman, I know what I'm doing." Li Qinghe closed the door.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning.

At the same time, another person was also going back and forth.

Song Qingyi couldn't sleep tonight either, especially recalling what Li Qinghe said: she didn't have a relationship with Xiao Han, she only had a relationship with Xixi's biological father.

In Li Qinghe's mind, the other party must be a beast and a bastard for making her raise her child alone.

With Song Qingyi's illustrious reputation, would Li Qinghe hate him to death?

No, he's not Xixi's biological father, why is he thinking so much?

Song Qingyi sat up in bed and walked out of the room to pour himself a glass of water, but was startled when Leng Suhua suddenly appeared in the corridor.

"Mom, what are you doing here?!"

"It's all because of your dad. He asked me to come back and talk about your marriage, and also asked me to stay here tonight, so I reluctantly agreed."

Song Qingyi was speechless for a moment. "What's there to talk about regarding my affairs? I don't like any of the women you two introduced me to."

Leng Suhua curled the corners of her lips. "You were keeping it from us, weren't you? I saw it all today... you were having dinner with a young girl."

Song Qingyi paused in his steps.

Leng Suhua stepped forward and looked him up and down. "Tell me, whose daughter is she? I'll go and arrange a marriage for you."

Song Qingyi immediately glared at her, "Don't you dare do anything reckless, that's Li Jingchen's uncle's daughter!"

Leng Suhua clapped her hands in satisfaction, "That's great! We should keep the good stuff in the family. Jingchen's cousin is marrying you. Not only are you an old cow eating young grass, but you're also doubling the family ties."

Song Qingyi: "..."

"There's no possibility between us, so please stop causing trouble for me. I'm already exhausted enough."

"Why are you, a single dog, so tired? I see you chatting and laughing with other people. If you're embarrassed, it's okay."

Song Qingyi interrupted Leng Suhua, "She has a daughter."

stunned for a moment.

Leng Suhua blinked. "Oh? Buy one, get two free?"
