Gu Zheng was still standing in front of the door, gently persuading her. âWhy donât you come with me to the courtyard? If you really donât like him, Iâll send him away.â
Inside the room, Qiao Xi was in a fit of anger. When she heard Gu Zhengâs words, she was even more furious.
This man was too heartless!
If Gu Zheng had told her the truth before they got married and told her that he had an illegitimate child, Qiao Xi would not have been angry. Instead, she would have felt that this man was a calm person.
But they had already been married for so long. How could Gu Zheng keep it from her for so long? How long did he plan on lying to her?
The more Qiao Xi thought about it, the more sorrowful she felt. She couldnât help but choke up. âYouâre going to send him away if I donât like him? But heâs your son! Even if he leaves, it wonât change the blood relationship between the two of you. Do you want outsiders to say that Iâm a vicious stepmother?â
Gu Zheng remained silent, his brows tightly furrowed.
⦠Mrs. Gu must have misunderstood. Lele wasnât an illegitimate child at all. He was just a dog!
Thinking of Xia Yunlouâs words, Gu Zheng gritted his teeth. It was all that womanâs fault for making Mrs. Gu think too much.
He thought that Qiao Xi had been to the courtyard and knew that there was a dog there, so she wouldnât think too much about it.
After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng couldnât help but laugh. His voice was gentle as he spoke, âIâll bring you to see him, okay?â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â
âNo way! Iâm still angry, yet you want me to see your illegitimate child?
âAlright! Iâll go take a look, then! I want to confront him face to face and see if that child is as cute as you say he is!â

Qiao Xi got into the car angrily while Song Shiyu stepped on the accelerator. They soon arrived at Longwan Residential.
After entering the villa, the two of them headed straight to the side courtyard.
Although it was also a part of the villa, it was still a distance away. The place wasnât big, but it was clean and exquisite.
There was a housekeeper in the courtyard as well, and she was a kind-looking middle-aged woman. When she saw Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi walking over together, she immediately greeted them respectfully, âPresident, Young Madam.â
Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. Shouldnât the person responsible for taking care of the illegitimate child be very alarmed to see her, the legitimate wife, here? Wasnât she afraid that this âviciousâ stepmother would do something to that illegitimate child?
Qiao Xiâs expression was icy-cold. âYour son⦠Lele has always stayed here?â
Gu Zheng couldnât help but smile. Qiao Xi saw his gentle expression and felt that he was emitting the aura of a parent. She felt bitter.
She didnât mind Gu Zheng being with another woman before they got married. It wasnât a big deal for them to be in a normal relationship. After all, she was previously in a relationship with Gu Moling. However, he had a child with another woman. That was a different story.
Qiao Xi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and followed Gu Zheng into the courtyard, but she didnât see the child.
At this moment, a young maid walked over and smiled. âPresident, Young Madam, are you looking for Little Master? Heâs upstairs.â
Ahh! She even called him âLittle Masterâ!
Gu Zheng came over and held her hand. Qiao Xi shook it off angrily.
The man didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, âHeâs not my child.â
Qiao Xiâs eyes were misty with tears. âGu Zheng, youâve learned how to lie. If you told me earlier that you had an illegitimate child, I wouldnât have fussed over it. After all, who doesnât have a past? But youâve been hiding it from me. What exactly do you mean by this?!â
Gu Zheng said, âHe really has nothing to do with me. I just couldnât bear toââ
âIâm not listening! Iâm not listening!â
Qiao Xi broke down and interrupted Gu Zhengâs words. If he wasnât his biological child but was still raising him, it was impossible for the child to come from a clean and pure background. It must be that Gu Zheng couldnât forget about the childâs mother, so he took the child over to raise him.
She pushed the door open, and there was silence inside.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and walked in slowly.
If he wasnât Gu Zhengâs biological son, then she wouldnât have to be a stepmother. Moreover, Gu Zheng had also said that if she didnât like the child, he could send him away. With Gu Zhengâs status, it shouldnât be difficult to find a happy family for that child.
Qiao Xiâs gaze swept the surroundings.
Where was he?
There was no one in the room. There was no one on the bed or on the chair. Besides, such a young child would definitely have an adult accompanying him. How could Gu Zheng be at ease leaving him alone?
However, there were many toys and dog food in the room. Not far away, there was an exquisite kennel with a small black dog resting there.
