It has become a routine for Jiang Huaizhou to send Nic to school. After breakfast, he took his schoolbag and picked up Nic to go out. Su Zimu followed behind with the bag, "If you have nothing to do today, take me a walk."

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Jiang Huaizhou nodded.

Su Zimu sent Nic to the school gate and handed him over to the teacher. Then he returned to the car and said while fastening his seat belt: "Don't rush to the company. There is a cafe about a kilometer ahead. Let's go there."

Jiang Huaizhou's face darkened and he started the car. "Do you have anything to say?"

He probably guessed it when she offered to give him a ride this morning. He had offered to take her to work in the past few days, but he had always been rejected. This time, he was probably preparing to order her to leave.

Su Zimu nodded, "Let's chat."

There were not many people in the cafe, so the two chose a corner to sit down. Soon, the waiter brought two cups of freshly ground coffee.

"When did your taste change?" Jiang Huaizhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the woman sitting opposite him drinking the same American coffee. He remembered that she used to complain that American coffee was like drinking Chinese medicine, and she preferred latte or cappuccino.

Su Zimu lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, then smiled faintly and said, "Tastes change, and people change too."

"Have you changed?" He looked up at her.

"Haven't you changed?" Su Zimu looked back at him.

Jiang Huaizhou leaned back in his chair and relaxed, "Of course I have changed. I loved you before, but now I not only love you, I also love Nic."

This sentence was full of greasy feeling, but he said it nonchalantly, as if it was a matter of course, without any affectation. Su Zimu did not feel disgusted. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said coldly: "When are you leaving?"

"When did I say I was leaving?"

Su Zimu: “???” Didn’t this person say when he first came that he would leave in about ten days? Is he planning to deny it?

Just when he wanted to persuade him to focus on his career, he remembered that he had handed over the group to Gu Xiaochen. Su Zimu had to play the emotional card, "You don't want to go back to see grandpa? You've been away for so many days, aren't you afraid that he will be unhappy?"

Jiang Huaizhou's lips curled up slightly, "He is indeed very happy to see me, but I think he would be happier if you and I went to see him together."

Su Zimu murmured in his heart, was she being too tactful for him to understand, or was he doing it on purpose?

"I'm afraid that if my grandfather sees me, he'll be scared to death." Anyone who sees someone they thought was long gone suddenly appear in front of them alive would probably be scared out of their wits.

"Want to try?"

Su Zimu: "...Are you my grandson?"

Jiang Huaizhou: "It doesn't matter whether I am or not. You are closer to him than his granddaughter."

Su Zimu frowned. She could still vividly remember how good Mr. Jiang had been to her, especially after her grandmother passed away, his love for her became even greater.

Seeing her lowering her eyes and not speaking for a long time, Jiang Huaizhou said, "You are in such a hurry to get me out, are you afraid that I will snatch Nic from you?"

The words hit the nail on the head. Su Zimu's curled eyelashes trembled slightly. She was indeed worried that Jiang Huaizhou would snatch Nic away from her. Their relationship had heated up rapidly recently. This morning, Nic actually took the initiative to ask Jiang Huaizhou to sleep with him. At that time, alarm bells went off in her heart.

"I can imagine the hardships a mother goes through when she's pregnant and giving birth. What's more, you were in poor health at the time and must have suffered a lot." Jiang Huaizhou said to himself.

She remembered that she was in a coma for many days because she choked on too much smoke and suffered external injuries.

"I was indeed injured at the time, and it was indeed much harder than the average pregnant woman. But what?" Su Zimu looked up at him, his eyes full of mockery.

Jiang Huaizhou leaned forward, "What but?"

Su Zimu snorted coldly, "After so much preparation, isn't there anything else to say? Shouldn't you tell me about your difficulties? Or should you say that Nic's growth is inseparable from his father?"

There was a dark look in his eyes. Jiang Huaizhou knew that she had misunderstood him and sighed softly, "I said I won't take Nic away from you, and I definitely won't." At the end, he frowned and seemed a little angry.

Su Zimu stared at him straight, wanting to confirm the truth of his words.

After a while, Su Zimu said, "Well, please do what you say."

She then stood up and said, "I'm going to work first, you go and do your own thing. I've asked my aunt to pick Nic up."

The moment he turned around, Su Zimu caught a glimpse of Jiang Huaizhou leaning on the back of the chair.

Although she was said to be at work, Su Zimu was a little absent-minded the whole day and would get distracted from time to time. She wondered if she had expressed her meaning very clearly, but was afraid that her words would hurt him by being too harsh.

After a fierce battle between heaven and earth, she still couldn't calm down, so she picked up her phone and called Jiang Yi.

"Hey, Mumu, how are you?"

Soon, Jiang Yi's cheerful voice was heard, revealing a hint of guilt.

"It's okay. What's wrong with you? I called you several times, but your phone was turned off." Su Zimu complained a little.

"Oh, I'm on a business trip. I'm very busy. I never touch the ground and fall asleep as soon as I touch the bed." Jiang Yi lied to Su Zimu. She couldn't say that she turned off her phone because she was afraid of Jiang Huaizhou's revenge.

Su Zimu didn't suspect anything, and the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. There were many things she couldn't say, and Jiang Yi couldn't ask either.

After finally getting off work, Su Zimu hurried home, she didn't know why she was so anxious. Even when she stood at the door, she didn't dare to open it.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside, and a round little face came up to greet her, "I knew mom would be back soon."

Su Zimu smiled, picked up Nic and kissed him, then walked inside, his eyes searching the room. When he didn't see that person, he suddenly felt empty.

"Mom, what are you looking for?" Nic held Su Zimu's face and asked seriously, "I'll help you find it."

"No."

Su Zimu put Nic down and was about to go upstairs to change clothes, but she heard the door in the backyard creak. Her heart suddenly started beating along with the sound of the door opening and closing. She turned her head to look.

A slightly plump figure came into view. It was the aunt she was looking for. Disappointment was hidden in her eyes, and a smile hung on the corners of her mouth. "Haven't you left yet?"

Auntie clearly saw the disappointment in Su Zimu's eyes. She was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had done something wrong. She said in a low voice, "Miss Su, I waited for you to come back."

Su Zimu frowned and walked towards the sofa again, "What's the matter?"

"When I picked up Nic from school today, a man kept following us."

track?

Su Zimu became nervous, "Did you see what he looks like?"

"Tall, big, dressed in black, with an oriental face."

Didn't he leave?

Feeling a little relieved, Su Zimu thanked her and told them to be careful.
