Jian He was in a hurry to pick up her child and had no interest in watching the commotion.

She refused Mason's offer, saying, "Let's forget it... It's almost time to pick up Ruibao. If we're late because of watching the commotion, he'll be upset."

Meanwhile, Ruibao, under the teacher's guidance, was already lining up with his classmates, ready to go home after school.

The chubby boy standing behind him was a very talkative kid. He moved closer to Ruibao and started chatting with him.

"Ruibao, that person just now said he was your father... but you said he was a human trafficker and had the security guards beat him up like that, why?"

The chubby boy was very puzzled by Ruibao's behavior, and he asked Ruibao with a confused look.

Rui Bao snorted coldly, a hint of icy glint appearing at the corner of his handsome lips.

He glanced at the direction where Yin Muqiao had been beaten with great displeasure and said, "He's not my father... I've never had a father like him."

The chubby boy could clearly see a hint of hatred in Rui Bao's eyes, but being too young, he had no idea what Rui Bao was doing.

Not long after, Jian He received Rui Bao.

Rui Bao, sitting in the car, seemed very happy. He sat in Jian He's lap, holding her tightly as if afraid that she would grow wings and fly away.

"Ruibao, what's wrong with you today? Did something frighten you?" Ruibao's unusual behavior caught Jian He's attention. She hugged Ruibao and asked him.

Rui Bao nodded first, then shook his head, his eyes filled with reluctance to part with Jian He.

He said, "Mom, I want to stay with you forever."

Hearing Rui Bao's words, Jian He felt a mix of emotions. She hugged Rui Bao tightly and said, "Yes, Mommy will stay with Rui Bao forever too."

The conversation between the mother and son left Mason with a bittersweet feeling.

He wiped his eyes and asked Jian He'er, "Miss, where are we going? Home? Or..."

Upon hearing Mason's question, Jian He replied, "I'm not going home, I'm going to a restaurant. I've arranged to have dinner with Cheng Yan and Rui Bao..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing that Jian He and Rui Bao were going to have dinner with Cheng Yan, Mason couldn't hide his joy.

Several years ago, Jian Qingshan had chosen Cheng Yan as his son-in-law. He really wanted to match Jian He and Cheng Yan together. However, Jian He was blinded by Yin Muqiao and made the wrong choice.

Now that Jian He is single again, these elders have a responsibility and an obligation to help her make the right choice.

"Great! I can have dinner with Dad Cheng! That's wonderful..."

Upon hearing that he would be having dinner with Cheng Yan, Rui Bao immediately became excited.

His address of "Dad Cheng" startled Mason. He'd already called her "Dad"? That meant Jian He and Cheng Yan's relationship was progressing quite rapidly.

After dropping Jian He and Rui Bao off at the restaurant where Cheng Yan had arranged to have dinner, Mason left.

As Jian He stepped into the restaurant with Rui Bao, she received a WeChat message from Cheng Yan.

【Jianhe, there's traffic on the way, I might be a few minutes late. I've already made a reservation, you can just take Ruibao and sit there.】

Jian He's fingers flew across the keyboard as she replied to Cheng Yan with a single word: "Good."

Soon, she led Ruibao to the table that Cheng Yan had reserved.

Ruibao seemed very excited about going out to eat.

He sat next to Jian He and kept talking to her.

"Mom, when will Dad Cheng arrive?"

"I haven't seen him for several days, and I still miss him a lot."

"Mom, I feel a little unwell again these past couple of days. How about we ask Mr. Cheng to come over and give me a massage again?"

……

Rui Bao's strong affection for Cheng Yan left Jian He at a loss.

In order to avoid answering Rui Bao's questions, Jian He had to change the subject.

"Ruibao, what did you learn at school today? Did you make any mistakes?"

Ruibao shook his head: "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong. The teacher said I behaved very well. Mom, when will the laptop I asked you to order arrive?"

Ruibao pressed Jian He for details.

A few days ago, Ruibao asked Jianhe to buy him a laptop. At the time, Jianhe was quite puzzled, thinking that Ruibao was only four years old and didn't seem to need a laptop.

Mason later told her that kids these days are smart, and their education with electronic products starts from a very young age.

In order not to delay Ruibao's development, Jianhe ordered one for him online.

"It should be in the next few days. I'll let you know when it arrives."

"Okay, Mom."

The mother and son chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. Just then, Ding Wenzhu and her daughter Ding Qing also appeared in the restaurant.

As soon as Ding Qing entered the restaurant, she glanced at herself and looked in the direction where Jian He and Rui Bao were. When she saw Jian He, it was as if a ball of fire ignited in Ding Qing's eyes, burning fiercely.

"Xiao Qing, what's wrong?" Noticing her daughter's unhappiness, Ding Wenzhu asked casually.

Ding Qing muttered unhappily, "Mom, didn't I just make a wedding dress for that woman who ruined my blind date?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ding Wenzhu frowned, looking puzzled.

"This afternoon, just before I was about to leave work, Cheng Yan asked me to book a restaurant for him. I thought he was going to use it to entertain clients, so I booked it here for him. I never expected that he actually wanted to treat that divorced woman, Jian He, to dinner."

Ding Qing harbors an innate hostility towards Jian He.

"Mom, if I had known that Cheng Yan was having dinner with her, I would never have booked this restaurant."

Ding Qing stomped her feet, looking very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Ding Qing was unhappy, Ding Wenzhu tried to comfort her: "Xiaoxue, don't get agitated."

“You’ve only just started working at Cheng Yan’s law firm. Even if you don’t like Jian He, you can’t show it.”

"You need to make Cheng Yan develop feelings for you before you make a move on her."

Hearing Ding Wenzhu's words, Ding Qing was still very unhappy. She grabbed Ding Wenzhu's arm and said worriedly, "Mom, I've only just started getting to know Cheng Yan. It won't take a day or two for him to fall in love with me."

"Doesn't this give that damned woman an opening?"

Seeing Ding Qing's expression, Ding Wenzhu remained calm.

She patted Ding Qing's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Mom will take care of everything that happened before."

"Xiaoxue, go order first. We've run into someone we know. I'll go say hello to her."

After saying that, Ding Wenzhu twisted her waist and headed towards the direction where Jian He and Rui Bao were sitting.
