Mu Bei forced himself to walk out of the ward, then he loosened his hands that were covering his abdomen. His hospital gown was stained with blood. Mu Bei returned to the ward and pressed the bell. When the nurse came, she saw that Mu Bei's wound had burst open, and took Mu Bei to the suture room.

Chi Wei came very early the next day. He prepared the breakfast that Lu Zhao and Lu Sui Xin liked and brought it over. He was extremely nervous. If Lu Sui Xin softened her heart and agreed to start over with Mu Bei, he would go crazy. But he couldn't be so selfish. He had voluntarily liked Lu Sui Xin for so many years. If he used all this to kidnap Lu Sui Xin, he would simply not be a human being.

"Dad Chi!" Lu Zhao shouted excitedly when he saw Chi Wei.

Chi Wei put the lunch box aside, hugged Lu Zhao, and asked, "Do you miss Dad Chi?"

"I do!" Lu Zhao leaned on Chi Wei's shoulder and complained, "That bad uncle ran into Zhao Zhao's ward yesterday and said he was Zhao Zhao's father."

The child whined and complained, but Chi Wei felt a little flustered and asked, "So Zhao Zhao, did Dad agree with what that uncle said?" Chi Wei felt that he was really despicable. He actually wanted to find out information through a child.

Lu Zhao: "I said I didn't have a father, and my father didn't blame me. That uncle also passed away later."

Before Chi Wei wanted to say anything, the door was opened from the outside. It was Lu Sui Xin who came back. "Why are you here so early?" Lu Sui Xin asked as he put the hot water he had just fetched on the cabinet.

Chi Wei smiled and said, "I made some breakfast for you and sent it over."

"Thank you." Lu Sui Xin said.

Chi Wei: "Why thank me? Just follow my heart. I did this voluntarily."

"Chi Wei, you have been by my side for so many years, what if I can't give you a response?" Lu Sui Xin watched Chi Wei busy taking out the exquisite breakfast one by one.

Chi Wei paused and said with a casual smile: "It's okay, at least you won't chase me away."

Maybe it was because Chi Wei's tone was too relaxed, Lu Sui Xin could always taste a hint of panic.

The three of them were eating together when the ward door was knocked twice from outside and then opened.

Mu Bei held breakfast in one hand and the toy he bought for Lu Zhao in the other. He was afraid that coming too early would disturb Lu Zhao and Lu Suixin's sleep, so he came over now, "This is the breakfast I bought..."

Mu Bei stopped talking before he finished. He looked at Chi Wei who was eating breakfast with Lu Sui Xin and the others, which was extremely irritating. "You guys are eating..." Mu Bei hid the breakfast behind him and smiled forcedly.

"Yeah." Lu Suixin nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mu Bei originally wanted to get closer to Lu Zhao and Lu Suixin, but now that Chi Wei was not around, he couldn't be too attentive. Mu Bei handed the toy in his other hand to Lu Zhao as if offering a treasure, and said, "This is the toy I bought for Zhao Zhao. I don't know what Zhao Zhao likes, but I heard that boys like robots and cars when they are young, so I bought some of them."

"I don't want your things!" Although Lu Zhao liked the things Mu Bei bought, he didn't like Mu Bei, "Dad and Dad Chi will buy them for me! I don't want yours!"

"Zhao Zhao, where are your manners?" Lu Sui Xin was a little unhappy. Why was this kid so aggressive? Even if he didn't like Mu Bei, the other party saved him after all, so he should show some respect.

"It's okay." Mu Bei put the toy aside, "It's okay, the child is still young."

Lu Suixin said: "You don't have to do this, Mu Bei, it's not necessary."

"Sui Xin, am I too eager for quick success?" Mu Bei asked, "Am I too enthusiastic at the beginning? Zhao Zhao is a little uncomfortable with it."

Lu Suixin glanced at Chi Wei and said, "You go out for a while. I have something to say to Mu Bei."

"Okay." Chi Wei obediently left the ward and closed the door. He felt that he could not stand steadily, so he finally walked to the bench and sat down while holding the wall. He was afraid that Lu Suixin would compromise for the sake of the child. Chi Wei smiled bitterly. He didn't know what he would do if Lu Suixin told him that he and Mu Bei planned to start over.

"Mu Bei, I have never said anything bad about you in front of Zhao Zhao." Lu Sui Xin said this just to tell Mu Bei that Lu Zhao hated him not because of what he said behind his back, but because Lu Zhao simply didn't like him.

Mu Bei: "I know he hates me, and I didn't treat him well from the beginning. I've missed him for almost three years, and I don't want to miss his future life."

Lu Suixin: "Mu Bei, you can come to see Zhao Zhao in the future, but don't do anything else. If a child doesn't like you, adults can't force him to like you."

"I didn't mean to force him." Mu Bei tried to explain, "I was just thinking about how to ease the relationship between you and me. I wanted to be nice to Zhao Zhao because my previous impression of him was too bad, and I hope to change it. I also want you to be less distant to me because of how nice I am to Zhao Zhao."

"Why are you doing this?" Lu Sui Xin said.

Mu Bei said, "Sui Xin, can you bring Zhao Zhao to Grandpa's tombstone and show it to Grandpa?"

"Okay." Lu Suixin said, "Wait until you're well again. Your career..."

Mu Bei became a beta, and many people who were watching him must be very happy. Beta is the most common type, and the top positions are monopolized by alphas. Who has ever heard of a beta being a high-ranking official? What's more, even if a beta is a high-ranking official, the group of alphas under him will not be convinced.

Mu Bei: "It's okay, I can just step back."

Mu Bei used to look down on Chi Wei for taking a back seat because of love, but now all the things he said before slap him hard in the face, burning him.

Lu Suixin: "This is all your own business, you have to think it over."

Mu Bei smiled and said, "Your idea couldn't be better. I'm not acting on impulse. The trauma I left you with before, I will end it with my own hands now. That's what I think."

"Zhao Zhao, can you please stop hating dad...uncle." God knew that his own biological son didn't recognize him, so he could only settle for the second best and let the child call him uncle. Mu Bei felt very aggrieved, but this was all he owed, and he should pay it back.

"I..." Lu Zhao couldn't say anything, but he just felt that the person in front of him was so strange. He obviously hated him so much before, but now he suddenly liked him.

"Thank you for the toys." Lu Suixin touched Lu Zhao's hair and said to Mu Bei, "But we already have these toys at home, so we don't need them anymore."

"Then be sure to tell me if you need anything." There is always something that is needed, there is always something missing, and he will have the chance to buy it for Lu Zhao, Mu Bei thought.

Seeing that Lu Sui Xin didn't say anything, Mu Bei didn't dare to stay any longer. Even if he wanted to, Lu Zhao was always on guard against him. If he stayed here, Lu Zhao might only hate him more. "I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

When Mu Bei went out, he bumped into Chi Wei. Chi Wei stood up and asked, "Are you done?"

Mu Bei looked a little depressed. With his shoulders slumped, he said to Chi Wei, "You know what? I envy you now. He is obviously my child, but he doesn't acknowledge me. Yet he calls you dad. Do you know how jealous I am of you?"

"There's no use being jealous." Chi Wei had to admit his own meanness. He felt secretly happy when he heard what Mu Bei said.

After Mu Bei left, Chi Wei entered the ward. He sat beside the bed, watching Lu Sui Xin feeding Lu Zhao one spoonful of food after another, "You guys..." To be honest, Chi Wei didn't want to ask, but he felt very uneasy.

Lu Suixin took a piece of paper and wiped the corner of Lu Zhao's mouth, saying, "There is no possibility for me and him."

"I know." Chi Wei spoke too quickly and accidentally said what he was thinking. Feeling that it was inappropriate, he immediately made up for it, "That's not what I meant. I just meant that there might be nothing between you and him... After all, he is Zhao Zhao's father..." Chi Wei's words became more and more confused, and his voice gradually became smaller.

Seeing Lu Sui Xin put the bowl on the cupboard, Chi Wei immediately stood up and took it, "I'll go wash the bowl." After saying that, without waiting for Lu Sui Xin to answer, he ran straight to the sink.
