Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

Xiao Chu understood.

He could lie to everyone, even for the rest of his life.

But she didn't want to lie to Miss Ye.

Every day was torture.

He said nothing.

When they arrived at the company, Li Tingshen gave Xiao Chu a shopping list with the Mid-Autumn Festival gift list.

"Other than that, let's see what else she needs to buy."

Xiao Chu lowered her head to look at the list. Health supplements, drinks, Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes. These were all very ordinary, but the only difference was that there was a new toy for children this year.

He was puzzled. "CEO Li, are you buying toys for a boy or a girl?"

Li Tingshen paused and pondered for a while before saying calmly,

"Three or four years old. I want both, regardless of gender."

"Okay."

*

Ye Qingqiu had never given gifts before, and she didn't buy much in the mall.

On the other hand, Xiao Chu remembered the list arranged by Li Tingshen and bought a lot.

Ye Qingqiu thought that Xiao Chu was preparing for her parents, so she chose a few similar ones.

In the end, Xiao Chu stopped at the rest area of the mall.

"Miss Ye, I still have to buy some children's toys. If you're tired, you can sit here for a while. What do you want to drink? I'll order for you."

Ye Qingqiu didn't have much patience left, but after hearing Xiao Chu's words, her eyes suddenly glazed over.

"Toys?"

Xiao Chu nodded. "Yes, it's a holiday. There are always children at home."

Ye Qingqiu blinked her eyes uncontrollably.

Toys…

Yes, children had to have toys.

What toys did her Linlin like?

"Miss Ye?"

Ye Qingqiu came back to her senses and said, "Yes, I'll go and take a look too."

Xiao Chu didn't think much of it.

The two of them went to the toy store.

Almost the entire floor was filled with children's toys.

It was a dazzling sight.

Xiao Chu looked at the customers in the entire area. Not many of them had children.

He smiled and said, "If they bring their children here, I reckon they won't even want their parents."

Ye Qingqiu didn't react. Her gaze was fixed on the toy window curiously.

Xiao Chu didn't expect Ye Qingqiu to be so curious about these toys.

However, this place was indeed huge.

Even though she was well-fed when she was young, she had never seen or played with so many toys.

Ye Qingqiu had bought a lot. There was a remote-controlled car, a remote-controlled plane, a Transformer, various storybooks, and a children's electronic piano. Of course, there were also a few dolls. Ye Qingqiu planned to let Linlin carry them when she slept or place them by the bed.

Compared to when she bought the gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Qingqiu's attention had never shifted.

Although Xiao Chu was puzzled, it was the same as CEO Li asking him to buy toys this year.

*

Bo Jinchuan accompanied Shen Fanxing to fetch Linlin.

The dean received them personally and led them to the classroom door.

Linlin was in the corner of the classroom, reading a story on his smartphone. He was holding a ball of mud in his hand and kneading it carefully.

"This child is too obedient. Yesterday, I told him that you wanted to bring him out to see his mother today. He was lying on the bed with the blanket in his hands. His eyes were wide open and he didn't sleep the entire night. He didn't cry or make a fuss. The teacher coaxed him a few times and he seemed to have fallen asleep a few times. After the teacher left, he opened his eyes again. It seemed like he had to endure it alone until he saw his mother tomorrow…"

Shen Fanxing's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the tiny figure in silence.

Quiet and obedient was how Shen Fanxing behaved whenever she saw him.

It was such a happy thing to see his mother. He actually suppressed his excitement and anticipation and remained quiet and obedient.

This personality…

She thought of the lonely Li Tingshen.

Shen Fanxing pushed the door open and walked towards him.

The child in the corner immediately looked up. His unfocused eyes were filled with excitement and desire.

She stopped kneading the soft mud.

Shen Fanxing stood in front of him and her small body moved. She went from sitting to kneeling. Her small hand grabbed Shen Fanxing's dress.

"Auntie…"

Shen Fanxing bent down and stroked Linlin's head. Her voice was gentle and warm as she said, "It's me. I'm here to pick you up to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Mommy."

Linlin's calm and expressionless face instantly revealed a happy smile. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

Shen Fanxing wanted to bend down to pull Linlin up, but an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.

"Be careful, I'll do it."

A low and elegant voice sounded from the side. In the next second, the man pushed her to the side and bent down to carry Linlin.

Although there was Bo Jinchuan in Linlin's memory, he was still a little timid.

He was very happy now. He placed his hand on Bo Jinchuan's shoulder obediently and didn't dare to move. He called softly, "Uncle…"

Bo Jinchuan's eyebrows twitched.

He didn't want to hear such nonsense.

Wanwan either had an uncle, a big brother, or an uncle.

His brothers…

There didn't seem to be many people who could make her worry.

Shen Fanxing felt that this form of address was a little novel. She took in Bo Jinchuan's helplessness and smiled.

Bo Jinchuan looked at her and she raised her eyebrows.

She looked like she was saying, "What can you do to me if I smile?"

Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips. Indeed, he couldn't do anything to her.

For the past few years, Shen Fanxing had been the one helping the welfare institute. She had also taken special care of Linlin. Hence, the welfare institute wouldn't reject the two of them.

"What do you like to eat at night? Auntie will get someone to prepare it for you?"

"I like it… Mommy likes it."

Shen Fanxing paused and caressed his face lovingly.

Her eyes, which were usually as calm as water, had never lost their excitement and anticipation after "seeing" her.

But he was still obedient and quiet. The expression on his face was faint, but it was enough to show his happiness.

No matter how one looked at it, there was Li Tingshen.

"Where's Mommy?"

Along the way, Linlin, who would not take the initiative to ask questions, suddenly asked.

"Mommy… is preparing a gift for Linlin."

"Mommy is enough."

"But Mommy loves Linlin very much and wants to give you a lot."

Linlin pursed his lips and nodded again and again.

The suburbs were quite a distance away from the city. Linlin might not have gone out many times. She persisted for a while before falling asleep.

Linlin didn't wake up even when they reached Grandma Bo's house.

Bo Jinchuan carried her out of the car and Shen Fanxing instructed the servants to bring the gifts down.

When Bo Jinhang entered the house and saw Bo Jinchuan carrying a child, he hurried over with Wanwan.

She looked around but didn't see Shen Fanxing. Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened in disbelief. She stared at Bo Jinchuan with a pained expression.

"You, you, you…"

Bo Jinchuan glanced at him coldly and Bo Jinhang hurriedly turned to Grandma Bo. "Grandma, my brother… brought the illegitimate child back!"

Bo Jinchuan was speechless.

Grandma Bo was speechless.

Shen Fanxing, who was following behind, was speechless.

Was this child's imagination running wild?

When Grandma Bo heard that, she came over in a wheelchair and slapped Bo Jinhang's butt. "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Bo Jinghang jumped to the side. How was he stupid?

What did his brother bringing back an illegitimate child have to do with him?

"Alright, alright. Don't cry."

Wanwan caressed Bo Jinhang's face and comforted him in a childish voice.

Bo Jinghang whimpered and rubbed his face against Wanwan's hand.

His sister-in-law was still the gentle one.

(I don't know yet.)

Grandma Bo ignored him and looked up at the sleeping child in Bo Jinchuan's arms.

"You got it?"

Bo Jinchuan nodded and bent to let Grandma take a look at the child.

Grandma Bo took a look and exclaimed softly, "He's so handsome, just like the child's father… Sigh, he's frowning. Quickly put him down and let him sleep well."

"Yeah."

Bo Jinghang was thinking of how to persuade his brother to stay, but it seemed…

Shen Fanxing didn't seem to mind at all.

Also, what Grandma said just now seemed to be a misunderstanding.

"Who? Whose child is this?"

That face leaned over, full of curiosity.

Grandma Bo pulled Shen Fanxing over and glanced at him. "Come, Fanxing, have some fruits. Let's not talk to a fool."

Bo Jinghang was speechless.

*

On the way home, Xiao Chu received a call.

It was from the hospital. "Mr. Xiao, Miss Liang cut her wrist."

Xiao Chu's expression suddenly changed. "Have you found a doctor? I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Xiao Chu sped up.

Ye Qingqiu's expression was indifferent. "If you have something urgent, I can take a taxi back."

"It's fine. I'll send you home first."

Ye Qingqiu didn't say anything else.

Perhaps there was really something urgent. Xiao Chu didn't even have time to take the gifts from the trunk before he drove away in a hurry.

Ye Qingqiu thought that perhaps someone from her family had been hospitalized.

Her heart was calm.

She had never been the sympathetic type.

Her own life was in a mess, so how could she care about the emotions of others?

After returning to her apartment, she took a shower and decided to sleep for a while. She switched her phone to silent mode and saw the message from Shen Fanxing.

"He's already at Grandma's house. He's asleep."

Ye Qingqiu's fingers suddenly trembled.

He…

Lin Lin.

She bit her index finger and stared at the message for a long time.

In the end, she deleted the message reluctantly.

After today, she would be able to see her son tomorrow.

Mid-Autumn Festival…

She imagined how good it would be if the Ye family was still around. Her grandfather and father doted on her so much. If she brought Linlin back, would they be very happy and dote on him even more?

She thought of the Ye family in the past. The Mid-Autumn Festival was as lively as the Spring Festival.

Now…

Her eyes suddenly flashed.

For the past two months, she hadn't visited Grandpa once. Although she didn't have the face to see him, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival…

Even if she stood outside the ward and looked at him, it would be good.

After a moment of silence, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

*

Wanwan was thinking of playing with Linlin when Shen Fanxing coaxed her to wait for him to wake up.

The servants were preparing dinner and preparing for the festival tomorrow. Grandma Bo was very happy. It was rare for there to be so many people at home. This was the first time it was so lively.

She had heard about Linlin from Shen Fanxing before. Now that she saw him, she felt emotional.

"Can your eyes be treated?"

"Ah Chuan has already contacted an authoritative doctor overseas."

Grandma Bo heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. When is that girl from the Ye family coming? It's not easy to meet a child… Speaking of which, did she visit her grandfather at the hospital during the holidays?"

Shen Fanxing shook her head. A few seconds later, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Grandma Bo. "You know that Old Master Ye is in the hospital?"

"I know. I do my physical examination at that hospital every year… Oh my…"

The old lady suddenly clapped her hands. "The Mid-Autumn Festival… That old man is going to the operating theater tomorrow."

Shen Fanxing frowned and asked, "Old Master Ye is having an operation on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Grandma Bo sighed and said, "I don't know what his illness is called. It's just an old man's illness. His organs are failing and his body can't produce any blood. He needs blood to recuperate…"

"When did this happen?" asked Bo Jinchuan casually as he sat beside Shen Fanxing.

Without thinking, the old lady said, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, I was wondering why it happened at that time… when every family was reunited…"

Shen Fanxing and Bo Jinchuan exchanged glances.

"Old Madam, bad news…"

A hurried voice suddenly sounded from upstairs, followed by a servant running down.

The old lady was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

The young servant looked anxious. "That young master is having a high fever…"

The old lady was stunned. "Quick, send her to the hospital."

Shen Fanxing panicked as well. Bo Jinchuan reached out to hold her hands and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'll carry him down."

Then, she turned around and instructed the servant, "Prepare the car."

"Okay, okay!"

*

As she was discovered in time, Liang Xuer was fine.

Xiao Chu rushed to the hospital first and stood outside Liang Xuer's ward, throwing a tantrum.

CEO Li personally instructed them to keep an eye on her. He arranged for four strong bodyguards to watch over her. There was even a new assistant watching over her.

"One person and the five of you will watch! How can something happen to someone like that?!"

The new assistant was a young lady. Xiao Chu was so frightened that she cried.

"There's nothing in the room. I didn't expect her to suddenly cut her wrist with the eyebrow trimming knife in her bag…"

Xiao Chu took a deep breath.

Eyebrows trimming…

Li Tingshen rushed over.

When the assistant saw him, his face turned even paler.

Li Tingshen glanced at her before turning to Xiao Chu. "How is she?"

"I was discovered in time. I'm fine."

Li Tingshen glanced at the door and Xiao Chu immediately opened it.

There were two nurses guarding the room.

Liang Xuer's face was a little pale. She sat by the bed with a white bandage wrapped around her left wrist.

Li Tingshen appeared at the door in a dark suit.

Hearing the commotion, Liang Xuer looked up at him with a mocking smile.

"You'd rather dry the blood on your body and waste it than save your grandfather?"

Li Tingshen's expression was cold, and his voice was even colder.

Liang Xuer nodded calmly. "Yes, I suddenly wondered if you would choose to watch Ye Qingqiu die if I couldn't save him."

"You think this is interesting?" Li Tingshen walked into the ward and stood by the window. He looked at the patients, family members, doctors, and nurses walking in and out of the park. "I didn't arrange for these people to protect you."

Even though she felt that she wouldn't be hurt anymore, Liang Xuer's heart still skipped a beat.

Yes, he just had to protect her blood.

As long as she didn't run and her blood was still within his reach, he could use it anytime.

"You can't lock me up forever."

"We'll talk about the future later." Li Tingshen's back was facing her and his voice was cold and emotionless. "But this time, you have to behave yourself. Other than making yourself suffer, nothing will change."

Liang Xuer closed her eyes to hide the sadness and despair.

"You haven't answered me. Without me, would you have watched Grandpa die to protect her?"

After a long while, Li Tingshen suddenly laughed softly.

He turned around slowly, his pitch-black eyes staring straight at Liang Xuer. His thin lips curled into a sneer.

"Everyone knows that Ye Qingqiu is arrogant, arrogant, and heartless. Not many people will really hate her. Do you know why?"

Liang Xuer clenched her fists and stared at him.

"Why?"

"Because she has the capital, she's right no matter what she looks like. She knows this very well."

Liang Xuer said disdainfully, "It's just something the Ye family gave her."

"Why is she more doted on than you even though she's also a daughter of the Ye family? The sacrifices and gains are mutual. Will I watch Grandpa die for her? This is not something I can decide. Even if you ask yourself, who hates her the most, if she knows that Grandpa needs her blood to save him, should she save him or not? Or rather, even if there's a trace of hesitation."

Liang Xuer didn't even think about it as she stood rooted to the ground.

The smile on Li Tingshen's face widened. Clearly, there was no need to consider her answer.

This was Ye Qingqiu.

Even someone who hated her the most trusted her.

She wouldn't even give him a chance to protect her.

"Don't say that it's natural for her to be pampered and saved since she was young. She hates you, but she still chose to save you when you were almost bullied. Ask yourself, what did you do?"

"Did you abandon her, or were you bent on sending her to hell when I asked you to testify?"

Liang Xuer suddenly felt a sense of shame enveloping her.

The past had long been engraved in everyone's hearts and could never be erased.

So…

Li Tingshen knew very well that Ye Qingqiu would save his grandfather without any hesitation.

Li Tingshen knew very well that she was Liang Xuer. That was why he chose to lie to her and coax her so that she could save Grandpa.

The difference…

Ha.

Looking at the white gauze on her wrist, she suddenly felt that no matter what she did, nothing would change. Other than making herself even more embarrassed.

"Even if we're not related by blood, think about your life in the Ye family. How did your grandfather and uncle treat you? Is it worth it for you to save them willingly? Why do you have to resent me for lying to you for three years?"

Liang Xuer shook her head, unable to refute Li Tingshen, but she was unwilling to admit that it was her fault.

"You already know what you want to know. Tomorrow is the surgery. You can continue to kick up a fuss. Since I have three years of patience, I don't need these two days."

After saying that, Li Tingshen glanced at her coldly before walking out of the ward.

"You two stay here and watch."

The two nurses quickly responded.

Xiao Chu followed and got his assistant to guard the door.

The four bodyguards were still standing guard outside.

The flies couldn't fly in or out.

*

On the way to the hospital, Linlin woke up. Perhaps because of the fever, he only recognized Shen Fanxing's scent.

No matter how obedient the child was, she refused to stay in Bo Jinchuan's arms in the car. She didn't cry or make a fuss because she wanted to be close to Shen Fanxing.

In the end, Shen Fanxing pulled Linlin into her embrace and kissed his forehead.

"Linlin, be good. We'll be reaching the hospital soon."

Linlin grabbed her shirt tightly and nodded. He curled up in Shen Fanxing's embrace obediently.

When they alighted, Shen Fanxing insisted on carrying him. Bo Jinchuan had no choice but to follow closely.

Xiao Chu quickly followed behind Li Tingshen, thinking about the impending reprimand.

However, the person walking in front of him gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

He looked up and saw two familiar figures walking in.

The woman holding the child looked a little anxious.

"CEO Bo, CEO Shen?"

Xiao Chu was puzzled.

Li Tingshen walked towards the two of them again.

Shen Fanxing's attention was on Linlin. By the time she realized it, Li Tingshen was already standing in front of her.

"Brother Bo." He greeted Bo Jinchuan before glancing at her. "Sister-in-law." His gaze landed on the child in Shen Fanxing's arms.

It was a boy.

She wasn't big.

That handsome face appeared in front of Shen Fanxing without any warning, causing her eyes to waver.

It wasn't because of how handsome his face was, but because the face in front of him was the last thing he should see. The impact was too great.

Upon touching Li Tingshen's body, Shen Fanxing reacted quickly and pulled Linlin's face into her arms. Her palm was still covering his ear.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes slightly. "This child…"

Shen Fanxing took half a step back and Bo Jinchuan held her waist from behind. "I don't have time to chat. The child is having a high fever."

Li Tingshen nodded and a few doctors rushed over.

"Sorry, CEO Bo…"

Shen Fanxing carried Linlin and walked towards the doctors. When she passed by Li Tingshen, his gaze was still on the child in her arms.

"Quick, the emergency room."

The doctors hurriedly carried the child away.

Shen Fanxing followed him.

As Shen Fanxing's back was facing him, Li Tingshen had no choice but to retract his gaze.

Seeing Bo Jinchuan, she asked, "Yours?"

Bo Jinchuan was speechless.

Even he wanted to sigh at how many illegitimate children he had.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Tingshen smiled and said, "Could it be hers?"

Bo Jinchuan's face darkened. "Idiot."

[Three in one.]
