Although it wasn't a major incident, it was still quite unpleasant. Bai Le stayed home and rested for the next few days, not going out much.
A major incident occurred during her pregnancy: Xi Defeng was taken away for investigation. Last time, Li Jing confessed everything while he was inside. It was Xi Defeng who instigated him to attack Xi Yan, and he also helped investigate Xi Yan's whereabouts.
Xi Defeng had initially threatened Li Jing with his family to prevent him from revealing his affair, but Li Jing didn't care about that at all.
Old Master Xi was furious. Although he did not intend to protect Xi Defeng, he declared that he would sentence him to any number of years as he pleased, and that those who cheated should be taught a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Xi Yan actually planned to visit Xi Defeng. Bai Le originally thought that he wanted to look down on him from a superior position as the victor, but when he got there, he realized that he was wrong.
Xi Yan wasn't wearing a suit, but a simple white shirt. Beneath her dark hair were a pair of beautiful eyes, though her skin was somewhat pale.
He looked at the person inside through the glass window and called out calmly, "Second Uncle."
Xi Defeng a cold laugh, "What are you doing here pretending to be all sympathetic?"
Xi Yan said calmly, "There are some things I'd like to clarify."
Looking at his nephew, Xi Defeng realized how much he had grown from the quiet and reserved boy who had first Xi Family. Thinking back to the past, he felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
"You were the one who caused my car accident, weren't you?"
Xi Defeng smiled and said, "What car accident?"
Xi Yan knew he couldn't get him to admit it, but that wasn't his intention either. He remained silent for a long time, and Bai Le saw this expression on his face for the first time.
After an unknown amount of time, Xi Yan raised his eyes, his gaze unfathomable. "Is there... is there anyone else who can help you?"
Xi Defeng paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "So that's how it is, hahaha!"
Xi Yan watched him laugh calmly, and only after he finally stopped did she continue to ask coldly, "Did you?"
Xi Defeng wiped away the tears of laughter. "What do you think? You're so smart, you must already have the answer in your heart."
Xi Yan's face darkened, becoming extremely ugly.
When visiting hours were over, someone came up to take Xi Defeng away again. As he stood up, Xi Defeng gave Xi Yan a cryptic smile.
"Your grandfather has always disliked your father. He's a womanizer and a coward. Your grandfather wants to personally groom the most suitable heir, so he forced your father to bring you back. Do you think your father will like you?"
"You're so pitiful. The name your mother gave you is quite suitable for you."
Bai Le paused for a moment upon hearing this, glancing at Xi Yan's face. His expression showed nothing unusual, except that he was a few shades paler than usual.
After they came out, a light drizzle began to fall. Xi Yan, with a calm expression, held up an umbrella for Bai Le and then put his arm around him to lead him to the car.
Bai Le turned his head and looked up at him. Xi Yan noticed his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and revealed a faint smile.
"What's wrong?"
For some reason, Bai Le felt a little angry. He stopped and grabbed his hand, forcing him to stop as well.
Why don't you say you're sad?
"Some things can't be borne alone; I want to be someone you can rely on."
Xi Yan looked at Bai Le's stern face and was slightly taken aback.
Bai Le looked at him, and the two remained locked in a stalemate until Bai Le's tone softened first. He hugged Bai Le tightly and sniffed.
"Compared to listening to that old geezer's nonsense, I think your name is quite nice, and it matches mine quite well. This must be our destiny."
"And... and you still have me, Mu Mu, and the baby that's about to be born."
Bai Le frowned and patted Xi Yan on the back, as if to comfort him, "Besides, that old geezer doesn't seem like a good person to me. He's so smart, don't believe everything you hear. No parent would want to kill their own child."
Actually, Bai Le felt guilty saying the last sentence, but he had to say it now because he didn't want to Xi Yan.
Xi Yan stared at him for a long time before finally revealing a faint smile. He reached out and embraced Bai Le, resting his chin on Bai Le's shoulder, and softly responded, "Mmm."
Although he already knew the truth in his heart, since Bai Le said so, he was willing to believe it.
He closed his eyes, and for some reason, the memory of the first time he met his father surfaced. He was bound to the bed with restraints and couldn't move, staring blankly out the window. Then there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man walked in, looking at him without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly spoke, "From today onwards, I am your father."
"I'll take you back."
Xi Yan patted Bai Le's head, suppressed the memories of the past, and kissed the top of his head with a smile.
He wasn't destitute; he had his own real family.

Chapter 51
Having experienced the crucial first three months of pregnancy, Bai Le stayed obediently at home for three months. As soon as the time was up, she immediately became lively and eager to go out and play.
He has now moved to a villa in Xiangshan to rest and prepare for his pregnancy. The surrounding mountains and bamboo forests are very quiet and the air is fresh. There is also a large lake behind the villa. When he was on vacation in the snow mountain, he mentioned to Xi Yan that he wanted to move to such a quiet place to live a semi-secluded life when he got old. He had just mentioned it casually, but he did not expect that Xi Yan had already purchased the property.
