As Qiao Lingyu drove away, he saw Pei Jiayuan at the football field near the Pei household, and beside him was Pei Feng. He immediately got out of the car and walked over. At this time, Pei Jiayuan's ball kicked towards Qiao Lingyu's side. He quickly caught it and then kicked it back to him.

He looked at Pei Feng, greeting him in her mind. How could Pei Feng forget about him? She also smiled at him, but didn't stop him from playing with Pei Jiayuan, because she always hoped that they would recognize each other.

Pei Jiayuan also turned his head to look at Pei Feng. Seeing that Pei Feng did not object, he followed him and started to play with the ball. In fact, he had always been a lone wolf, because the Pei family had always protected him.

Qiao Lingyu went to buy three bottles of water and sat down together to rest. Their actions while drinking water were all the same, causing Pei Feng to laugh out loud as she watched.

At this time, a passerby walked past them and said, "You father and son really match each other well. It feels like every action is the same."

Pei Jiayuan turned to look at Qiao Lingyu. He did not deny it, but smiled and said to the passerby: "Since it's a father and son, then of course everything is the same."

The passerby also agreed and smiled, and then left. Pei Jiayuan looked at him and said: "You are not my father."

He smiled and nodded. "That's right! But they say we are like father and son. "

"Oh." Pei Jiayuan drank his water and did not speak.

He looked at his son and felt that he was a bit too mature. If he hadn't let them leave at that time, wouldn't their family be less mature when they were together? With the innocence of a child?

He did not continue to think about it. After drinking a mouthful of water, he turned around and said to Pei Jiayuan: "Although we are not father and son, but we can play together often. Can we be friends?"

He did not speak, but turned and looked at Pei Feng, who smiled and nodded, saying, "But you can't tell this to mother, if mother knows, you can't play ball here anymore."

After she finished speaking to Pei Jiayuan, she raised her head and said to Qiao Lingyu, "Mr. Joe, it is not that I am making things difficult for you, it is just that you actually understand."

"I understand, thank you."

Pei Feng smiled and did not answer. Then, Pei Jiayuan turned to Qiao Lingyu and said, "Then, let's meet here every day as promised! I have to go back today. "

The three of them stood up at the same time, and then Pei Feng changed her phone number with Qiao Lingyu. Pei Feng brought Pei Jiayuan and left. Before she left, Pei Jiayuan walked in front of him and said: "Uncle, I'm really very happy today."

"I'm happy too."

Pei Jiayuan turned around and left. He watched them leave before leaving.

After Pei Jiayuan got in the car, he said to him: "Actually, you know that he is your father, right?"

After a moment he said to her, "Grandma, but Mom doesn't want me to recognize him, so he'll never be my father."

"You are still a child, you shouldn't think so much. Child, I've troubled you. I've always made you do things that you don't want to do." Pei Feng hugged his son in pain.

Pei Jiayuan had already matured earlier than most children, and maturely, made their hearts ache. If he had not lived in such a family, he would have been a better child.

"But we can't tell Mommy what happened today, can we?"

"Yes, this matter must be kept a secret. No one is allowed to tell others about it."

Just like this, Qiao Lingyu played ball with Pei Jiayuan for a few days straight. He realised that Pei Jiayuan was just too mature, but he was still naive like a child, especially when they were playing together.

On this day, Pei Feng happened to have some things to take care of and left the two of them to wait for her return.

Qiao Lingyu had a lot of questions in his heart, so he asked Pei Jiayuan: "Actually, there's one thing I want to ask, how is your mother?"

"Mom is very good!" Pei Jiayuan answered very straightforwardly, "But mom is always working until very late before she goes to sleep. Mom is very hardworking sometimes."

He was shocked in his heart. Actually, did not need to be like this right now. But in truth, he didn't know that Su Ranqing always wanted to use her work to numb herself. She didn't want to think about things between them anymore.

"And before that? When you were overseas, did your mother have a hard time? " he asked next.

Pei Jiayuan shook his head, then turned and said: "Actually that's not the case, at that time, mother did not work hard, and Uncle Zhan Yan had always been helping mother."

"When did they meet?"

"I knew Uncle Zhan Yan was by my side right from the beginning." Pei Jiayuan was a little helpless. He actually wanted to tell Qiao Lingyu that Han Zhanyan and him were cousins, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Then how does Han Zhanyan treat you?" He looked at Pei Jiayuan with great concern and said, "He's going to marry your mother in the future."

Pei Jiayuan nodded before smiling and saying: "Uncle Zhan Yan treats me very well, no matter what I want, he will buy it for me. But he doesn't have much time to play with me."

"What about me?"

"You are different from him. We are family, you are not." Pei Jiayuan answered immediately.

He fell silent, feeling particularly sensitive to the word "family."

After a few seconds, he laughed and said to Pei Jiayuan: "That's true, you are a family, and I am not."

Pei Jiayuan nodded as he took a sip of water. At this time, Pei Feng rushed over and said to Qiao Lingyu, "Mr. Joe, Ran Qing is on her way, if you are going to go now, you might meet her. Why don't you find a place to hide first."

Qiao Lingyu nodded and immediately picked up his own things. He then patted Pei Jiayuan's head and said: "We'll play next time."

"Alright."

Qiao Lingyu walked towards the resting area at the end of the field. Not long after he entered, Su Ranqing came. Pei Jiayuan pounced towards him the moment he saw Han Zhanyan. From afar, Qiao Lingyu saw this and felt a bit of pain in his heart.

He suddenly understood why Su Ranqing did not want them to recognize him. They were more like a family of three, should he really not disturb them?

He continued to observe them carefully. When Su Ranqing was together with them, she smiled extremely happily. Just as Pei Jiayuan had said, they were family.

When they were gone, he came out feeling empty. He didn't want to think about it right now and wanted to go back to the company, but the sweat on his clothes was too strong, so he drove back to Qiao Family. Once he returned home, he went straight to the bathroom to shower. An Ya, who just came back from the outside, was very excited to see him again after knowing that she had returned, but she found him bathing instead.
