"Xi Yan, I know you hate your mother..."
This time, Xi Yan interrupted her directly, frowning slightly. "You're overthinking it. I don't hate you."
He now treats Tan Lianxin as a complete stranger, or even less than a stranger. Where does the hatred come from? He is simply doing what he should do.
Perhaps there was hatred in the past, but now he doesn't want to wallow in that useless emotion anymore.
Tan Lianxin should have been sent to a mental hospital that year, but he didn't. Because of Li Jing's unexpected turn of events, he wanted her to watch helplessly as her son was destroyed, right before her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Tan Lianxin's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "That's great! As long as you agree, things will be much easier."
Xi Yan sighed almost inaudibly, "Do you think I would let this opportunity slip by?"
Tan Lianxin was taken aback. "... But didn't you say..."
"Of course I don't hate you, I'm just doing what I have to do."
Without even looking at Tan Lianxin's reaction, he opened the door and got into the car.
After the car drove away, Bai Le looked back and saw Tan Lianxin standing there, looking dejected, as if she had suffered a great blow.
Looking at Xi Yan's profile, Bai Le felt a pang of sadness for some reason, and gently placed his hand on Xi Yan's hand.
Xi Yan was taken aback, then turned to him and gave him a very faint smile.
"I'm fine."
After that day, Xi Yan showed no unusual behavior. Bai Le observed him for several days before finally feeling relieved.
In October, as Mu Mu grew older, many surprising things happened to Bai Le.
For example, when he was one year and nine months old, he could accurately name colors and count in a babyish voice. He had an excellent memory and could remember things he was shown at a glance. Once, Bai Le secretly hid one of his toys. Originally, because there were so many different kinds of toys in his toy box, he couldn't remember if he had lost one. But in the end, he still found it.
Bai Le was initially worried about Mu Mu's language ability because he was a late talker, but later realized that he was overthinking it. Mu Mu's language talent was simply amazing, and he progressed very quickly. When he needed to use language, he went from speaking unclearly to speaking in coherent sentences in much less time than other children of the same age.
Sometimes, Bai Le even doubted himself: could he really have given birth to such a highly intelligent son?
"President Bai, could you please take a look at this document?"
Bai Le glanced at the document, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating there were many problems. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a churning in his stomach and quickly covered his mouth.
Ye Xiaosi looked at him, "President Bai? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Le looked extremely unwell. Having learned from his first experience and reflecting on his previous performance, it was no wonder he said he had been feeling listless these past few days.
Then, calculating the time between me and Xi Yan last time, it was exactly the same, so the timing wasn't a problem.
Oh no, is he pregnant again?

Chapter 47
Having already made this guess in his mind, it was difficult for Bai Le to calm down. He was restless all afternoon. After returning home, he first went to see Mu Mu, who was playing games with Auntie Wu in his room.
Seeing him return, Auntie Wu quickly got up to greet him, "Young Master, you're back. Fourth Master is in the study."
Bai Le nodded. "I'll go find him later."
After Auntie Wu left, Bai Le sat on the soft carpet just like Mu Mu and played with building blocks with him.
"Mu Mu, Daddy's asking you, do you want a little brother or a little sister?"
Mu Mu stopped building with blocks and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
After Bai Le finished speaking, he chuckled to himself. He shook his head. No matter how smart Mu Mu was, she was still just a few months shy of being two years old. How could she understand the meaning of those words?
And it's still uncertain, although based on his intuition, it's most likely true.
Unexpectedly, Mu Mu tilted her head and said in a childish voice, "Little sister."
Bai Le paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "In that case, you'll be the older brother, and you'll have to protect your little sister."
Mu Mu grinned, revealing her adorable **.
He talked to the child so much, but he wasn't even sure if he was really pregnant. If he was, he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.
When he arrived at the study, perhaps hearing the door open, Xi Yan looked up from the documents and her gaze fell on him.
"What's wrong?" He frowned slightly, looking at Bai Le's awkward expression, and felt that something was wrong.
Bai Le looked at him with a worried expression and sighed.
Xi Yan frowned even more deeply, stood up, walked towards him, and asked, "What happened?"
Bai Le looked at him and sighed heavily again.
Xi Yan's eyelids twitched. "What's wrong?"
Bai Le didn't intend to hide anything, "I feel like something's not quite right."
"What's wrong?"
"I said maybe... maybe Mu Mu will have a younger brother or sister,"
Xi Yan paused, his expression changing slightly. "You mean...?"
