Li Songze did not go back to the house with Lin Xuedong and the others.

After the others had gone far away, he glanced lightly at Huang Minqiu, who had stayed behind.

"Tired?"

This was the first thing he said to her that night.

Huang Minqiu's eyelashes fluttered, her red lips tightened, and her dark eyes gazed into the endless night, as if trying to hide all the turmoil within the darkness. "Not too tired..."

"What are your plans next?" Li Songze asked abruptly, but his voice didn't sound particularly sincere.

Huang Minqiu slightly raised her head, looking at Li Songze's still cold and stern face under the moonlight, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I... I might go back to work at the TV station."

These words seemed to hit the nail on the head. The man nodded in agreement, but his gaze fell on the green plants in the garden, where the layers of branches and leaves resembled circuits in his mind, finally settling on a particular frame of the image.

“Kyoto headquarters.” After a moment, Li Songze withdrew his gaze and looked at Huang Minqiu again, his jaw resolute as if he had planned this all along. “There’s a column program planner over there, and I think you’re capable of the job.”

“Kyoto?” Huang Minqiu looked up in surprise.

She never expected that Li Songze would suggest that she work in such a faraway place as the Kyoto headquarters. "Why did you suddenly bring up Kyoto? I'm doing just fine here, I've never thought about going to such a far place."

However, the man before him remained calm, as if everything was under his control and perfectly natural. "Resources here are limited, and there's little room for growth. The Kyoto headquarters can offer you more opportunities to showcase your talents. Don't you want to achieve a greater breakthrough in your career?"

Ah, what a fine way to 'showcase one's talents'!

It was rare for him to have the patience to explain to her, but at this moment, Huang Minqiu's heart was not at peace.

Is he trying to get rid of me?

She tried her best to control her slightly trembling body, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction: "Of course I want to develop my career, but why don't you ask me if I'm willing to go to such a far place? Besides, I can't be separated from Ling'er."

"Then take Ling'er with you all."

Huang Minqiu felt a buzzing sound in her head, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and she was completely stunned.

She stared at Li Songze, her eyes wide, and it took her a long time to find her voice. "What are you saying?!"

“I’ve said it before, I will be responsible for all the resources available for his growth after he is born.” Amidst Huang Minqiu’s utter shock, Li Songze calmly spoke, his words as if simply issuing a notification. “I won’t argue with you, but if you ever have any inconvenience in the future, you can always hand him over to me.”

Huang Minqiu bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to control her emotions. "Li Songze, you make it sound so easy! Do you think you can just send us away and give us some so-called resources?"

Taking a deep breath, she raised her voice, filled with sarcasm and resentment: "Ling'er is still so young. What he needs is more than just material things. He needs the real companionship of his family and a complete home! And you, you say these words so lightly. Do you think Ling'er is just an object to be manipulated at will, an insignificant burden?"

At this point, Huang Minqiu's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating she was extremely angry. Her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up but stubbornly refusing to fall.

Li Songze frowned slightly, his face remaining calm, as if Huang Minqiu's anger and agitation had nothing to do with him, appearing as if he had already done everything he could. "Huang Minqiu, don't make any unrealistic demands."

"hehe."

Huang Minqiu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and kept giving a bitter laugh.

Her eyes were filled with a mixture of sorrow and despair. Pointing at Li Songze, her voice became shrill with agitation: "Li Songze, do you even have a heart? What right do you have to boss me around? Isn't it just because you're worried that Ling'er and I are in your and Liu Sisi's way? Humph, let me tell you, I'm going to stay here, and I'm going to annoy you two to death!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, each word seemingly bursting out from between her teeth, as if she had been holding these words in for a long time.

No one understood her grievances, no one understood her pain!

Tonight, she was utterly disappointed in this man!

Anyway, she's the child's biological mother, Liu Sisi is willing to be close to her and the child, and she's also the child's godmother.

Therefore, she still has the leverage to argue with Li Songze, and she is not afraid to break ties with this man.

Wasn't he always the most ruthless one?

She's going to be even more ruthless and disgusting than him!

Sure enough, Li Songze's face instantly darkened, and even his tone of voice became cold and sharp: "Huang Minqiu, it seems that not only are your hands and feet dirty, but you've also started to spout nonsense here."

Huang Minqiu choked, and before she could react, she heard the man's stern warning: "Your private life and whereabouts are none of my business, and I have no interest in interfering! But I feel it's necessary to remind you to put away your despicable thoughts and not to think about harming Sisi again, otherwise I will not make an exception for you."

At this moment, the man stood under the dim outdoor light, the light casting a long shadow on the ground, like a huge, mysterious shadow.

He wasn't negotiating with her at all!

It was clearly a subtle, invisible tripping trick on her.

“You…” Huang Minqiu’s eyes froze, and her heart skipped a beat.

The two stood there quietly, surrounded by a stillness where only their breathing could be heard, along with the occasional chirping of night insects.

"Do you know what happened to Chen Meiyuan?" After a long silence, Li Songze put his hands in his pockets and leaned forward slightly. The movement seemed unintentional, but it made his gaze even more oppressive. His eyes held a subtle scrutiny, as if trying to see right through Huang Minqiu. "She's pregnant, seven months along, and it's a boy."

Huang Minqiu's heart suddenly felt like it had been hollowed out.

So that’s how it is?

They said he was a program planner for a column on Kyoto TV, and that they would find something to use against him...

Sending her and the child away is nothing more than a way of implying that one should be pragmatic!

"yours?"

Li Songze's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Perhaps, we could use the child in Chen Meiyuan's belly to restrain her overstepping thoughts and divert her hatred from her target.

He remained silent, but he also stopped giving Huang Minqiu any further glances, which made her feel slighted.

"Is it really yours?" Huang Minqiu's eyes stung, and her voice trembled slightly.

This man is inherently cold-hearted.

Isn't Liu Sisi the only one in his heart?

You were just gazing at someone with such deep affection!

Ah, this is what true devotion looks like!

Li Songze continued to stare at her coldly.

Huang Minqiu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, Li Songze, we'll see."

After saying that, she turned and walked away quickly, her figure looking somewhat disheveled in the night.

Li Songze stared in the direction she had left, his eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
