CH 6

Zhen Zhen heard the doorbell.

Zhen Zhen knew it wasn’t Nan Ma or aunty Xiao. They both had spare keys to her house. It was the first time a visitor shamelessly rang the doorbell.

Zhen Zhen reluctantly put down her bowl of noodles, ran to the door and opened the door. She didn’t believe her eyes. Yue Gu Zui was in front of the door and her son was sleeping in his arms.

Zhen Zhen led Yue Gu Zui to Zhen Wu’s room and he put Zhen Wu to bed.

Then Zhen Zhen and Yue Gu Zui walked to the living room. He looked at Zhen Wu’s baby photos displayed in the glass cabinets.

‘I think you need to explain something to me,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

‘Explain what?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

Yue Gu Zui sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. Zhen Zhen felt like her home shrunk.

‘Miss Zhen, I heard you have an IQ of 200,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

Zhen Zhen admitted she lacked social awareness but she understood Yue Gu Zui’s tone was mocking her.

‘Mr Yue sometimes I’m a little gullible,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘If you have something to say then say it clearly. I’m not your servant so you don’t need to act like you’re the king inside my home.’

‘Don’t you think Zhen Wu looks identical to me?’ Yue Gu Zui asked.

Louis taught Yue Gu Zui to treat women well otherwise he would have strangled Zhen Zhen.

‘Um, you do look like my son,’ Zhen Zhen said.

Zhen Zhen realised why Yue Gu Zui looked familiar to her.

‘Zhen Wu looks like me because I’m his dad,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

Yue Gu Zui looked at the DNA results, Zhen Wu was his son.

‘Who are you kidding?’ Zhen Zhen asked. ‘Zhen Wu’s dad is an Englishman.’

‘Here are the DNA results,’ Yue Gu Zui said and passed them to Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen looked at the DNA results. Yue Gu Zui was her son’s father. She wondered why her son didn’t inherit any physical traits of an Englishman but she didn’t care who her son’s father was, she loved her son.

‘What do you want?’ Zhen Zhen asked. ‘If you want custody of my son then that will never happen!’

‘Miss Zhen, I’m not demanding custody,’ Yue Gu Zui said. ‘What I’m asking is how you gave birth to my son.’

Zhen Zhen wanted to know how Yue Gu Zui became her son’s father too.

‘I heard you haven’t been taking good care of Zhen Wu’s daily life,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

‘Who said that?’ Zhen Zhen asked.

‘Besides, I won’t allow my son to be raised as illegitimate child,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

‘You’re saying you want to take my son away… I knew you’re a bad person…’ Zhen Zhen said and cried.

Zhen Zhen knew if Yue Gu Zui fought for custody of her son then she would lose her son.

Yue Gu Zui knew he was a bad person. His intentions was to take his son home and he thought women were troublesome. But he didn’t like seeing Zhen Zhen cry.

‘Don’t cry,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

‘Why shouldn’t I cry?’ Zhen Zhen asked. ‘Have you changed my son’s nappies? Bathe and fed him? Watched him take his first steps and heard him say his first word? You don’t know how happy I am to be his mother. Suddenly you appear and want to take him away from me… I hate you-’

Yue Gu Zui kissed Zhen Zhen. He didn’t know why but he felt she was born to live in his heart. He also didn’t know why he felt overwhelmed and didn’t want to hear her say she hated him.

‘Starting from tomorrow you and our son will live in my home,’ Yue Gu Zui said.

Zhen Zhen opened her eyes. ‘No.’

Yue Gu Zui thought Zhen Zhen looked like a deer and he wouldn’t mind taking care of a deer.

‘Tomorrow I’ll have removalists help you and our son move to my home,’ Yue Gu Zui said. ‘If you’re not packed by tomorrow then I’ll blow up your lab.’

Yue Gu Zui felt good and he walked toward the door.

Zhen Zhen was inflamed after she heard Yue Gu Zui threatened her precious lab.

‘You gangster!’ Zhen Zhen cursed. ‘Even if you blackmail me I won’t give into you!’
