Father & Son Ch. 91
The two buffoons left, and the room fell silent again. Cheng Hai looked at him, "Do you want to see the manor?"
"Can you walk all day?"
"A slow walk should last forever."
"Go over there and talk about what's in the manor." Li Xiao nodded.
They walk slowly into the garden at the entrance. There were several chairs in the garden, the model flowering shrubs were looked leisurely and elegant, and the center was a fountain.
"The manor is divided into several areas. In front of the entrance is the garden, which is suitable for afternoon tea. In the back of the manor, there is a garden on the right and a hot spring on the left. It is not open-air, but there is a skylight. It's getting colder, you can go to the bubble, there are separate baths and shared baths."
"Are there any supermarkets nearby?"
"Yes, drive a car. There are a few shopping streets in fifteen minutes, and a few department stores and hospitals."
"Well, I'll go out for a walk in two days. I want to buy some things. I want to eat three meals myself."
"It's okay. Let the kitchen worker learn from you for a month and remember what you like to eat."
"Trouble..."
"Don't you worry about sleepiness when you're pregnant?"
"Not yet." Li Xiao said.
"...we'll talk about that then."
"Well, we'll talk about that then."
The sky gradually became yellowish, the breezes also slowly turned into a cool wind, the golden sky was scattered with a little leisurely gold, which made people's hearts have a kind of deep feeling.
"It's getting colder. Go back to the house. There are some things in the house that you have to see."
Cheng Hai said and Li Xiao nodded. They walked back to the house slowly. The faint yellow sky was shining, which made their shadows lengthen.

Two days later_
Mrs. Ning Xue arrived, but it was late at night. Li Xiao was already asleep. Only Cheng Hai was still working in the study room next to the master bedroom.
Ning Xue walked into the study, and there was a burst of cursing from the study. The voice woke Li Xiao up. When Li Xiao got out of bed, the scolding sound quickly lowered which caused him to frown, he pulled his coat and went out.
"You bastard, how can you let Li Xiao bear such a thing! His good life is ruined by you, you know!! How can you make him do such a thing!! Your father and I are trying our best to save his work, but you here-"
"Mom... don't be angry, it's all my fault."
Stood outside the door, Li Xiao was stunned when he heard these words. Why didn't Cheng Hai say that it was because of his request? Why not say it?
"If you know it's wrong, why still doing it! Have you become stupid!"
"..." Cheng Hai did not respond.
"What about your wife?"
"I've signed the divorce, but he hasn't signed it yet."
"Scoundrel!" Ning Xue's voice breathed fire with anger. "If he didn't sign it, it means that you and your wife are still married, and you actually did this! Do you want the child in Li Xiao's belly to be an illegitimate child? Have you ever thought about what your child will bear after he is born!?"
Li Xiao outside the door froze when he heard the words. He did not think of this layer. Hearing Ning Xue's words, he felt as if he was awakened by thunder.
"It's not all his fault..."
The two people in the study also froze. Ning Xue was very embarrassed. She had lowered the volume, but still woke him up, making her a little flustered, and Cheng Hai was no different.
"Ah Xiao... sorry... did I disturb you..."
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop... But since I was mentioned, I'd like to stand up and explain, madam. Would you like to have a private talk with me?" Li Xiao said in a hoarse voice, while Ning Xue was taken aback when she heard the words, glanced at her son, and heard Li Xiao speak again, "He knows about it."
Without waiting for Ning Xue to speak, Cheng Hai consciously walked out of the study, leaving the study to the two of them. When the door closed, Ning Xue sighed.
"Come and sit down."
Li Xiao nodded and sat down on the sofa. Ning Xue also sat down. As soon as he sat down, Li Xiao began to speak, "Mr. Cheng, didn't agree to this at first."
"Can you tell me the cause of this first?"
Li Xiao tightened his lips and frowned upon hearing the words. "Madam still remember what happened when I went to your house for dinner...?"
"Ah Qing drugged you?"
"Yes... When I woke up, he called to tell me that he and Cheng Mu were infertile, and he didn't want Mr. Cheng Hai to have another wife, so he simply drugged me and asked me to give up on Cheng Mu and help the Cheng family by the way, because he didn't want anyone else to give birth to your son."
"What!?" Ning Xue widened her eyes in disbelief, but when she saw that Li Xiao had something to say, she was silent.
"Your daughter-in-law said that he would ask me to have a baby with your son without any compromise. How can I, Li Xiao, be virtuous? I'm just a commoner, and I can't get rid of the means of the upper class. I'm not willing to accept that I'll be crushed to death like an ant."
"So you just..."
"No, it's my revenge." Li Xiao suddenly gave a faint smile.
"Revenge?"
"Is there not something in the mind of a barren man to raise a child that is not his own? What's more, your daughter-in-law's heart is so small."
"..."
"Don't you think so, madam?"
"You... you are not afraid that I think you're small-minded?" Ning Xue's face cooled down, her expression was too unfathomable, making people unable to see the true thoughts, but it made people feel pressure.
