At this exact moment, there’s an animated cartoon that Ye Xiaomo likes to watch.

Ye Fei lets Ye Xiaomo watch the cartoon at home, pretending she’s going out to buy some groceries.

Ye Xiaomo doesn’t suspect a thing.

Ye Fei quickly heads to the coffee shop, and Li Xiaoyun is already waiting there. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Is Xiao Mo at home?" Li Xiaoyun asks.

"He’s watching cartoons at home. I told him I’m out to buy groceries. Later, I still have to go to the supermarket next door to buy some groceries to take back," Ye Fei says, doing her best to maintain the lie.

No choice, that little guy is so clever.

Li Xiaoyun chuckles, Ye Fei’s behavior really seems sneaky.

"Okay, tell me quickly, what’s the deal with Zhao Gushen?" Li Xiaoyun asks hurriedly.

Ye Fei shares the information she exchanged with Zhao Gushen today.

Of course, Zhao Gushen didn’t explain much to her, just said he was drunk at the time and his room card was accidentally swapped.

As for the matter of him being at someone else’s mercy after getting drunk, Zhao Gushen didn’t mention.

Therefore, Ye Fei doesn’t know about it either.

She just tells Li Xiaoyun what she knows.

"This is just too..." Li Xiaoyun thinks the coincidences are too much.

Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen’s fate is really intricately tied!

"He’s a responsible person," Ye Fei says. "But, sooner or later, he’ll have to start his own family. At that time, he’ll have his wife and children to take care of. I think he might not be able to focus so much on Xiao Mo then."

"So, I haven’t decided when to tell Xiao Mo yet. If in future, Zhao Gushen can’t be as good to Xiao Mo as he is now, the big difference might upset him. But if I don’t tell Xiao Mo, it’s unfair to Zhao Gushen."

"Then don’t rush to say it," Li Xiaoyun says. "Anyway, Zhao Gushen has left the decision to you. Take your time. Zhao Gushen’s not young, he won’t stay single for long, right? Wait and see his attitude towards Xiao Mo after marriage, then decide."

However, Li Xiaoyun thinks that the person Zhao Gushen fancies is probably Ye Fei, the mother of her child.

Ye Fei herself hasn’t realized it, or perhaps she doesn’t dare to think this way.

But at least from her perspective, it sounds like Zhao Gushen is exceptionally good to Ye Fei.

Judging by Zhao Gushen, it doesn’t seem like he just wants to be responsible for Xiao Mo, he also wants to take responsibility for Ye Fei.

But Li Xiaoyun doesn’t voice this thought.

She fears saying too much might make Ye Fei hopeful, whereas Zhao Gushen might not mean it that way, which would harm Ye Fei instead.

So, Li Xiaoyun decides to silently observe the changes.

"Your mom and sister schemed against you with all their might, not expecting their scheme to fail and gain nothing, instead giving you such a big ally," Li Xiaoyun says with a biting cold laugh, "Serves them right!"

Seeing the time is about right, Ye Fei and Li Xiaoyun both think of Ye Xiaomo, alone at home, and quickly leave.

Ye Fei goes to buy groceries to host Li Xiaoyun for dinner.

***

On Monday, besides taking Ye Xiaomo to kindergarten, Ye Fei also needs to go to the bank to handle car loan matters.

Once the car license plate, driving license, insurance, and other procedures are complete, the earliest the car will be ready is next week.

Ye Fei takes Xiao Mo downstairs.

Suddenly she sees Zhao Gushen leaning against the car door.

One long leg casually stretched forward, the other slightly bent, resting at the back.

He looks so relaxed and carefree, yet both legs appear extraordinarily long.
