Su Heng answered briefly, and Madam Su immediately understood that he was referring to his father. But at this moment, the investigation was not the main point. She was so excited that she almost sat up, holding Xuanxuan's little face tightly, saying over and over again: "Like... so similar..."

When Xuanxuan heard that he and his older brother looked alike, his already pretty face blossomed into an even brighter smile, his eyes narrowed into crescents. He snuggled into Madam Su's arms and said in a childish yet firm voice, "Grandma, you must get better soon!"

Madam Su choked up and responded, "Good...good! Grandma, seeing you, all her illnesses are healed..."

Su Heng, who was standing aside, watched with a smile as Xuanxuan tried hard to please his grandmother, and was secretly convinced in his heart that Xuanxuan would definitely win his grandmother's love.

Mrs. Su's fondness for Xuanxuan was beyond words, and she felt much better. She held his hand and asked him questions. Xuanxuan was quite clever, and he answered according to what Su Heng had taught him beforehand, making the old lady laugh again and again.

Perhaps because he felt particularly safe next to Old Madam Su, Xuanxuan gradually fell asleep.

Looking at this little life, Madam Su gently stroked his face and hands, whispering over and over again, "You were also so cute when you were a child, like a little angel... Seeing him is like seeing yourself when you were a child..."

Looking up at Su Heng, Madam Su asked worriedly, "Does Manman know..."

Su Heng replied calmly: "I will explain it to her clearly."

"Alas," Old Madam Su sighed softly, "Manman is a good child... Don't let this... hurt her..."

"I will bear all the consequences and handle them properly."

Mrs. Su knew that her grandson was responsible and nodded slightly.

"Grandma, you have a good rest. I'll take the little guy back."

After finally seeing her long-awaited great-grandson, although Mrs. Su was reluctant to let the child go, her health condition did not allow her to stay for long.

She waved her hand: "Go ahead."

Su Heng carefully held the sleeping Xuanxuan in his arms. The little guy was so soft that it seemed like he would melt with a slight touch.

Xuanxuan instinctively hugged his clothes tightly, rubbed against his arms, found a comfortable position, and slept more soundly.

After saying goodbye to grandma, Su Heng carried Xuanxuan out of the room. Lin Ze had already installed the child safety seat. After placing Xuanxuan safely, he fastened his seat belt and drove away.

Looking at the sleeping little guy, Su Heng's mouth corners unconsciously raised. Does he really look so much like him? Or is this just a way for grandma to express her feelings?

Regardless, Xuanxuan had been a great help today. As for the small requests Xuanxuan had made, he would definitely fulfill them one by one.

Lin Ze caught the CEO's gentle gaze through the rearview mirror and was secretly surprised. He had never seen the CEO so kind to anyone, especially a child.

Xuanxuan was safely delivered to the company and then smoothly handed over to the teacher with just the right timing.

When they were about to leave, Xuanxuan held his hand tightly, her lips slightly raised, full of reluctance: "Big brother, when can we meet again?"

Su Heng squatted down gently, looking him in the eye: "Don't you have my number? If you miss me, call me anytime."

"Oh." Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment, with a hint of shyness in her eyes, but she still plucked up the courage, stretched out her little hand, and gave him a big hug.

Su Heng felt warm in his heart. This kind of hug from a child was an unprecedented experience for him.

"Then I'm leaving." Xuanxuan reluctantly let go of him and slowly left under the guidance of the teacher.

Su Heng stood up, watched the small figure from behind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Ze behind him jokingly said, "Boss, I never knew you actually like children."

Su Heng smiled faintly, turned around and walked into the building: "He is different from others, unique."

Lin Ze scratched his head, looking confused: What's the difference?

As night fell, Jiang Man was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Xuanxuan brought a small stool and sat at the door, holding his chin with both hands, his eyes smiling into crescent shapes: "Mom, there are super fun activities in kindergarten today~"

Jiang Man asked while cutting vegetables: "Oh? Where did you go to play?"

Xuanxuan blinked mysteriously: "This is a secret!"

Jiang Man turned around and teased with a smile: "My little baby now has his own little secrets!"

"Of course!" Xuanxuan raised his little head proudly. He remembered the secret agreement with his elder brother in his heart.

The eldest brother said that this is a promise between men!

Standing under the Huamei Group building, Jiang Man was struggling internally and still didn't have the courage to step in.

Lu Ziyin invited her here for more than just work, and she knew it better than anyone else.

The clock hand has quietly pointed to ten o'clock, but Jiang Man still has a frown on his face, standing on the steps hesitantly.

At this time, the cell phone rang.

An unknown number.

Jiang Man picked up the phone, and Lu Ziyin's cold voice came from the other end: "You are late."

"I..." Jiang Man pursed his lips, holding the phone, turned his back to the door, and slowly sat down on the steps, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to go through."

"What happened?" His voice was still calm, without any disturbance.

Jiang Man looked up at the sky. Although the sunlight was soft, it was still a little dazzling. She squinted her eyes, trying hard not to let tears fall. "There are many colleagues in Su Corporation who are better than me. Mr. Lu should look for someone else."

A faint laugh came from the other end of the phone, hollow and cold.

"Jiang Man, are you scared?"

It was the first time he called her by her name after such a long time since they broke up, but it seemed particularly strange.

She was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "I just feel that there is no need for us to have any more contact."

"Really?" He raised his voice, full of sarcasm. "Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Jiang Man's heart tightened.

"Do you know how I felt when I woke up and learned that you had a child with another man?" He spoke slowly, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him. "That kind of despair was enough to make me give up my life."

Jiang Man bit her lip tightly and covered the receiver with her hand, not wanting him to hear her sobs.

"I really hate it. Why do you want me to wake up? Why not just let me sleep forever?"

"Ziyin, stop talking..."

Perhaps the sunlight was too gentle, her tears had quietly slipped down, and her voice was filled with tears.

"Why not?" Lu Ziyin chuckled, "Jiang Man, you owe me far more than just an explanation."

After a brief silence, he said coldly, "Ms. Jiang, I hope you can have some professionalism. Consider today as your leave. Next time, don't make such a mistake again."

The call was immediately hung up.
