Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

Nic, who was crying because he lost the chess game, quickly wiped his snot and tears and nodded when he heard Jiang Huaizhou say that.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at Su Zimu who was leaning against the door frame. Nic also looked over with tears in his eyes. Su Zimu sighed, "You can only play for ten minutes. I'll call you when the time is up."

Nic nodded obediently.

As Su Zimu turned around and went downstairs, she heard screams and laughter coming from upstairs. She stood at the stairs and looked until her neck was sore before she went into the kitchen.

While busy in the kitchen, they heard the sound of two people playing behind them. Nic hugged Su Zimu's legs and said, "Mom, this is so fun."

"Then you won't continue playing?"

Nic: "Uncle Jiang said, we agreed to play for only ten minutes, so we must abide by the agreement, so that we can become men."

Su Zimu looked back at Nic and nodded to Jiang Huaizhou at the door. Jiang Huaizhou didn't let Nic call him dad, nor did he tell him about the two of them, saying that he should let him adapt slowly. Su Zimu was very grateful to him for this.

"Mom, I'm hungry. When will dinner be ready?" Nic asked, looking up at his little face.

"Five minutes left."

"Then I'll leave first and not disturb you while you're eating." Jiang Huaizhou said and turned to pick up the coat on the sofa.

Su Zimu responded and prepared to see him off, but unexpectedly Nic ran out and held Jiang Huaizhou's hands with his two little hands, "Uncle Jiang, stay and have dinner together."

Jiang Huaizhou glanced at Su Zimu who was silent, leaned over and pinched Nic's cheek, "No, thank you for your invitation."

Nic held his hand and looked back at Su Zimu, "Mom, isn't Uncle Jiang your friend? He played with me for so long today, can we let him stay?"

Su Zimu frowned, "Someone is waiting for him to eat at your uncle Jiang's house, how about next time?"

Nic looked at Jiang Huaizhou again, "Uncle Jiang, is anyone waiting for you?"

Jiang Huaizhou: “No.”

Su Zimu: “…”

"Mom, no one is waiting for Uncle Jiang. He has no food to eat when he goes home. He is so pitiful." Nic pouted with a bit of grievance, as if he was not allowed to eat.

Su Zimu was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, "Let's prepare dinner."

Nic winked at Jiang Huaizhou, and Jiang Huaizhou picked him up, smiling, "Go wash your hands."

At the dining table, Nic had only taken a few bites when he suddenly shouted, "Mom, I want to sleep."

"Go to sleep if you want."

Su Zimu stood up and picked up the little guy. Nic's little head rested on her shoulder with his eyes closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Su Zimu lowered his voice, "You eat first, I'll carry him back to the room."

Jiang Huaizhou stood up and prepared to take her place, but she refused.

A few minutes later, when she returned to the dining table, Jiang Huaizhou had already peeled several shrimps.

Su Zimu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why don't you eat?"

"Wait for you."

Su Zimu picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, "Eat quickly."

"Nic isn't hungry, is he? He's used up a lot of energy today." Jiang Huaizhou said while peeling shrimps.

Su Zimu: "No, the child won't be hungry."

Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said, "He is very cute. He fell asleep in a second and I don't know who he followed."

Su Zimu lowered his eyes and ate his food, "Children are like this, they fall asleep when they are told to."

It can be imagined that life must have been much harder before the age of three. He wiped his hands and pushed the shrimps on the plate in front of her.

Su Zimu moved the shrimps towards him and said with a smile, "It doesn't make sense to let the guests peel the shrimps."

Jiang Huaizhou already looked a little ugly for refusing to accept the favor, and the word "guest" pushed him ten feet away.

Jiang Huaizhou picked up a shrimp and put it into Su Zimu's bowl domineeringly, "The woman who sent Nic back with me that day was just an employee of this company. This was the first time we met."

"No need to explain to me."

"I'm afraid you misunderstood."

"will not."

"I don't have any other women either." He still added, "I know you don't have any either."

"Investigate me?" Su Zimu was displeased and put down all his dishes and chopsticks.

"I won't do anything that disgusts you again."

Su Zimu raised his eyes to look at him inquiringly.

"Nic said so."

"Nic said that?"

Su Zimu was not stupid enough to believe that Nic would understand these things, and he was the one who led Nic into asking questions.

Jiang Huaizhou did not evade the question, "I asked him if there was an uncle who often appeared around him, and he said no."

"Mumu, I..."

"Jiang Huaizhou." Su Zimu interrupted him, "Do you think I can't live without a man? Or do you think I am keeping my virginity for you?"

"No. You have the right to choose your own life."

Su Zimu had a lot to say, but he was choked by his sincerity and couldn't utter a word.

His eyes were sharp, without any hesitation or retreat in them. "We are both free. You have the right to choose the life you want, and so do I."

Of course, no matter how complicated the relationships between people are, the most fundamental thing is that everyone is an independent individual. You have the life you want, and he has the pursuit he wants. There is no right or wrong between the moon and sixpence.

The atmosphere was inexplicably depressing. Su Zimu picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, "Nic has to go to the dentist tomorrow. No one's home. Don't go there empty-handed."

"What time will I pick you up?"

"No, it's a dentist I know very well. I can take him there."

"I want to spend more time with my son and make up for the three years I missed."

Having said this, Su Zimu didn't know what to say anymore. After all, she was also largely responsible for the three years that their father and son were absent.

"Then come pick us up after breakfast."

"I want to eat wontons, but I don't know where to buy them."

Su Zimu raised her eyebrows slightly. When did this man see her making wontons? She knew there was a place selling wontons, but they were expensive and unpalatable. Even if she told him, he might not be able to find it.

"Then come here early."

"Would you like to have breakfast together?"

Su Zimu asked with an expression that he knew the answer but still wanted to ask, "What else?"

"Can I stay here tonight? I see there are two rooms..."

"No."

"It takes me half an hour to get back to the hotel, and I have to come here again early tomorrow morning. It's too much trouble. Why don't we stay here and leave together tomorrow?"

"You may think beautiful things when you are not beautiful. You don't have to come tomorrow."

Jiang Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, "I should be considered a handsome man, right?"

Su Zimu had a look of disgust on his face. After not seeing this man for a few years, he seemed to have become even more shameless. No different from a peacock spreading its tail.

Seeing that Su Zimu didn't say anything, he continued, "That day in the park, several women took secret photos of me with their cell phones."

"Are you having peach blossom craziness?"

"What is peach blossom frenzy? Is it a compliment or an insult?"

Su Zimu suppressed his laughter, "A kind of wine brewed from peach blossoms."

Jiang Huaizhou had an expression that showed he knew everything, "Don't lie."

Su Zimu felt a little guilty, worried that he would search immediately. Just as he was about to say something, the phone beside him rang.
