When the little black dog heard the commotion coming from the door, he jumped up and stared at the door with his obsidian-like eyes. He turned around and looked at the unfamiliar Qiao Xi, tilting his head curiously.

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened. This dog was too cute!

But how could one raise a dog in the same room as a child? Children were fragile. Gu Zheng was too careless.

Just as Qiao Xi was puzzled, Gu Zheng had already bent down slightly and called out gently to the little black dog not far away, “Lele, come over to Daddy!”

Qiao Xi’s body froze abruptly as the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

It was called Lele?

This was Gu Zheng’s son?

She felt her ears buzz for a moment, and her mind went blank.

While she was still in a daze, she saw the little black dog running toward Gu Zheng excitedly. It jumped into Gu Zheng’s arms and enthusiastically licked Gu Zheng’s hand.

The little black dog stared fixedly at Qiao Xi, his eyes filled with curiosity toward this female owner who had suddenly appeared. “Woof!”

Qiao Xi: “…” Was this the so-called illegitimate child?

Xia Yunlou had shouted in front of everyone that Gu Zheng had an illegitimate child hidden in the courtyard and thought that she had something on him. In the end, the so-called illegitimate child she was talking about was a dog?

If Gu Zheng really had a son, wouldn’t it be a real person?

The rims of Qiao Xi’s eyes were still red as the sorrow lingered in her heart. But at this moment, she was unable to flare up no matter what. Her emotions were replaced with shock instead.

After a long time, Qiao Xi recovered from her shock. “This… is your son?”

“Yes, he’s yours too.” The man smiled. “Lele, call Mommy.”

“Woof!”

The little black dog stretched out his little legs and directly jumped into Qiao Xi’s embrace. He rubbed his soft fur against Qiao Xi’s hand and enthusiastically tried to curry favor with this female owner.

When Qiao Xi thought of Gu Zheng’s questioning earlier, as well as the scene of her sorrowful tears flowing down her face, she instantly felt ashamed.

“Mrs. Gu, do you know who my son is now?” Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with ridicule.

Qiao Xi felt a weight pressing down on her chest. When her anger had reached its peak just now, she had even thought of divorcing Gu Zheng. If she couldn’t accept it, then she would really do it. In any case, she would be even more carefree after she regained her freedom.

“Xi Xi, you have to believe me. You’re the only woman I’ve had since the beginning. It was the same in the past and will continue to be like this in the future. Nothing will change.”

Gu Zheng’s voice was extremely gentle. Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes and met those deep eyes of his. He was gazing at her affectionately, and she instantly indulged herself in this wonderful feeling.

His hot breath blew across her face. “Believe me.

“No matter what they say, you have to believe me. You’re the only one I’ve ever had.”

He leaned closer and pecked her lightly on the lips. “If I really had an illegitimate child, I would never hide the news from you. I’ve already made myself clear on the day I married you.”

Qiao Xi didn’t understand why she was so impulsive just now. She clearly knew that Gu Zheng wouldn’t do such a thing. He had always been clean and honest. He hadn’t had a single woman by his side all these years, so how could he have an illegitimate child?

But she just couldn’t control herself. The moment she heard that he had an illegitimate child, her rationality vanished. It was probably because… she loved him too much.

Song Shijing, who had been guarding outside the door, was also surprised. This boss of his who had always been cold and heartless was so gentle in front of his wife, fearing that she would feel wronged.

Before Young Madam showed up, Song Shijing didn’t expect the president to fall into the hands of a woman one day.

Perhaps the president was not heartless, but the torture and abuse from his childhood had made him restrain his feelings and never reveal them easily. Only when he faced the person he trusted and loved deeply would he show them.

Song Shiyu frowned. “The president likes animals? And he’s raising a dog in the courtyard? Isn’t it too extravagant to let a dog live in such a big house?”

Song Shijing said calmly, “Watch what you’re saying. He isn’t a dog. It’s the little master. When the president picked up Lele, he was almost dead. After raising him for so long, the president has developed feelings for him. As long as the president is happy, the dog can stay anywhere.”
