However, just before he had a conflict with A Xing, Xu Tingyu and her group had already walked out.
Xu Tingyu was walking in the front, holding You You in her arms. Behind her were Shu Shu and Chen Yan.
Qi Shifeng's gaze swept past Xu Tingyu and then quietly landed on Chen Yan.
Both of them were dressed very casually, which meant they had been staying indoors and hadn't gone out.
Although the two assistants were still there, the realization that Chen Yan and Xu Tingyu had been in the same room drove him crazy.
His handsome eyebrows knitted together and then smoothed out the next second.
"You You said you weren't feeling well. He was worried and wanted to come and see you," he said. The veins on his well - defined hands stood out, but his tone was gentle and calm, even with a smile on his face. He looked so gentle and considerate.
Chen Yan, who was standing behind, snorted in his heart. Here he came again, putting on an act.
The great President Qi had even resorted to using his good looks to charm people.
"I'm fine. It's just a minor cold. I'll put on a mask first. I don't want to infect You You," Xu Tingyu said, not noticing the undercurrent between the two men. She just took the mask from Shu Shu and put it on.
Although she didn't have a viral infection, children's resistance was different from that of adults.
She had been in so much discomfort when she had a fever. If You You got a fever, how uncomfortable he would be.
At this moment, You You got out of her arms and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"I'm not afraid of getting infected. I want to be with Mom," he said, obediently snuggling beside her. His eyes were full of concern, and he rubbed his little face against Xu Tingyu's hand.
Not only Xu Tingyu but also Shu Shu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but find him adorable.
"Okay, you can lean on Mom. Uncle bought cakes. Do you want to try some? They're Mom's favorite mini - cakes," Xu Tingyu said, pulling You You to sit beside her and pointing at the cakes on the table.
Chen Yan had bought four cakes. Shu Shu and A Xing had each eaten half of one. There were still two intact ones, which were originally for Xu Tingyu.
You You glanced at Qi Shifeng and then nodded at Xu Tingyu. "Okay, I'll have a little."
Sorry, Dad. Although these cakes were bought by Uncle, Mom likes them, so he had to like them too.
You You took a bite of the cake and his face showed amazement. "Mom, it's delicious."
Xu Tingyu also smiled. "Right? You You has the same taste as Mom."
While the mother - son duo were having a loving interaction, Chen Yan and Qi Shifeng were sitting on another sofa, facing off against each other.
"It seems that Young Master Chen is quite free. If I remember correctly, the Chen family no longer has any business in the capital, right?" Qi Shifeng leaned back on the sofa, crossing his long legs.
Although he had only been there for a few minutes, he exuded an air of superiority as if he were the master of the place.
Chen Yan smiled faintly. "I didn't expect President Qi to be so concerned about me. However, even if the Chen family has no industries in the capital, this is still my hometown."
He paused slightly and continued, "People always have a special feeling for their hometown. Moreover, there are my friends and my lover here."
Qi Shifeng sneered. "It seems that Young Master Chen has quite a few lovers."
"Well, I can't help it. I'm just naturally good at loving people," Chen Yan said, looking quite proud.
Qi Shifeng didn't say a word. He didn't even sneer. He just gave Chen Yan a mocking look.
The meaning was obvious.
Chastity is a man's best gift, isn't it?
The proud expression on Chen Yan's face froze for a moment.
This Qi Shifeng was really good at hitting people where it hurt.
But it wasn't easy for him to explain his own innocence, was it?
Moreover, was he really any better himself?
Don't think that having a child could cover up all his past scandals.
Chen Yan coughed lightly and suddenly asked, "I haven't seen Miss Xie in public recently. So, are the two of you getting married soon? Is she planning to retire?"
"I'm not sure. But we have no relationship. If Young Master Chen is so concerned, he can go and ask her directly," Qi Shifeng still looked calm, but his tone was much colder than before.
Bringing Xie Yu into this?
This sly man.
If he had still been unsure whether Chen Yan's feelings for Xu Tingyu were just those of an old childhood friend or something more, there was no need to doubt now.
He had ulterior motives.
Chen Yan was taken aback. He squinted his eyes. "Oh? You have no relationship?"
He stopped there without elaborating, but the slightly prolonged ending of his sentence had already conveyed his meaning.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting more and more tense, Xu Tingyu finally cast her gaze over.
"I'm fine now. President Qi, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll send You You back later."
With the two assistants there, it felt strange for Qi Shifeng to stay.
Moreover, after what had happened yesterday, she was more on guard against Qi Shifeng and didn't want to stay under the same roof with him.
Hearing her "order to leave", Qi Shifeng's eyes showed a hint of hurt.
"I have no other plans today. I came here specifically to see you."
He was now quite good at showing weakness.
This sentence made Shu Shu and A Xing quickly exchange a look.
What was with this tone?
Could this child really be Qi Shifeng and Xu Tingyu's?
It couldn't be!
Xu Tingyu didn't look like someone who had given birth!
Moreover, they hadn't heard her mention having a child in the past four years!
If this child was Qi Shifeng's, then why was she still working so hard?
...
But now, in front of so many people, they didn't dare to voice their doubts, so they tried their best to be invisible.
"I'm fine. Maybe you should go back first. I may have to work later," Xu Tingyu showed no intention of keeping him.
It wasn't that she was being unkind, but with Qi Shifeng around, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
She was sick today and didn't want to waste any more energy dealing with this man.
Qi Shifeng didn't expect that even after lowering his stance so much, this woman still insisted on him leaving.
It must be Chen Yan's fault.
He didn't know what he had said in front of her.
He licked his back molars and stood up neatly, still looking as noble and cold as ever.
"In that case, I'll leave first. Leave You You here. I'll come and pick him up tomorrow."
Tomorrow was the weekend. You You didn't have school, but he had an interest class.
Xu Tingyu agreed and didn't move. She didn't even show the slightest intention of seeing him off, let alone trying to keep him.
Qi Shifeng had no choice but to walk to the door. Then he turned and glanced at You You.
Coincidentally, the child also looked up at him and blinked his eyes.
Thank goodness. At least his son was on his side.
The old father felt a little relieved.
With a son, was he still afraid that his wife wouldn't find her way home?
All his discouragement and resentment vanished. He pointed at the bag he had brought. "You You, don't forget to remind Mom to eat."
"Got it, Dad. Be careful on the way. I love you," You You said loudly while waving at him.
This cry of "Dad" immediately changed the expressions of Shu Shu and A Xing. They even unconsciously held their breaths.
Their boss actually had a son with the president of Qi Corporation?
