111: Do you like them dangerous?

When Huo Ting Xiao asked her who Qing Han was to her, Xiao Yu hadn't thought about it so much.But his last statement made her freeze in place. Did he think that she had some illegal relationship with Qing Han?"You didn't know?" Huo Ting Xiao asked, his voice filled with ridicule. "Yeah, he has a wife, and probably a son.""You…" Xiao Yu said, her lips trembling again. She couldn't believe that her boss thought of her like that."You can do whatever you want, Jing Xiao Yu. I mean, you got a promotion because of that. Just be careful. That man doesn't have a very good reputation with women," he said and turned around to walk back to his desk.Xiao Yu's lips trembled as she looked at the document she just signed. "You think I got a promotion because I slept with Qing Han?" she asked, her hands clenching into fists.Huo Ting Xiao paused and raised his brows. "Why else would he push for that promotion for you? He even came to see you in the parking lot. A few people saw him," he said.Fo

112: It's the damn men

I was about to leave work when I was called to the Human Resources department. I didn't know why, but knowing I hadn't done anything wrong, I went there.The manager looked at me briefly and smiled before handing me a cheque. I looked at her in confusion.“What's that for?” I asked.She seemed confused for a second. “Um… I've been looking at the records and realized that you worked overtime for almost one hundred and fifty hours. This is your pay,” she said.I froze again. I had worked all those hours because Qing Han had forced me to. He claimed I was paying for the money he thought I stole from him.“But…”“This order came directly from President Qing. If he hadn't reminded us to pay you overtime, we wouldn't have even noticed how much you worked.”I pursed my lips and looked at her. So it was Qing Han who had asked them to pay me for the work done.“Go on. Take it. It's rightfully yours. It's not like you are being given free money. You worked for it,” the manager said, a smile on

113: He kissed me

Xiao Yu sighed. “How could I? It's just a promotion. If anything, I deserve it,” she said, and we both started laughing.Yeah, it was supposed to be like that. As long as she hadn't done anything illegal or immoral to obtain the promotion, I would have advised her to take the job too.“I wasn't sure what he was thinking though,” Xiao Yu said between laughs. She had calmed down and was no longer panting.I was silent for a second before sighing. “I don't know what he is thinking either,” I said.Several times, I had wished I could open his brain and see what he was thinking. I felt like he cared, but being the kind of man he was, it was just a bit too hard to tell his real intentions.But I would say that it was a good thing if he had promoted Xiao Yu. He could have chosen to look into the lie we planned four years ago and have her imprisoned. But he had helped her.“So, what about your boss? Didn't he have any problem with the promotion?” I asked.Xiao Yu had always complained to me a

114: Your son?

With the overtime money that the hospital paid me, Tuan Tuan and I were able to move into the new house. I had to admit that the money had helped me out so much.Mo Xuan visited us almost every day. In fact, he spent almost all the time we had with us.However, I noticed that he barely said anything about Qing Han anymore. Whether Tuan Tuan or I brought Qing Han up, I noticed that he tactfully changed the topic.I didn't push. I knew he didn't like Qing Han, and that was okay with me because I was the one who had told him all those things about Qing Han.One evening, we were having dinner when the doorbell rang. Mo Xuan went to open it. But I realized that he didn't come back immediately.Curiously, I walked to check up on him, but I froze a little when I saw him standing in front of Qing Han.What was Qing Han even doing at my place? I had told him so many times not to show up without informing me.“You should stay away from her,” Mo Xuan said. His voice was cold and angry. He looked

115: I know the truth

Qing Han must have stood in place for over twenty minutes before he finally went back to his car. From where I was sitting, I could see outside well. I felt a little guilty. He seemed unsure of what to do. Maybe I should have heard him out. But I wondered what explanation he would give for having to punch someone else like that. Was it just because he hated Mo Xuan? After a while, he walked back to his car and got in. I sighed in relief, thinking that he was finally willing to go. But the car didn't drive away. It looked like it was going to rain soon. All I wanted was for him to leave. It wouldn't be so good if he was out when it began raining. Mo Xuan was playing video games with Tuan Tuan on the other side of the room. But I noticed that from time to time, he kept looking over at me. Then my phone suddenly rang. I froze when I saw that it was Qing Han calling, but I didn't dare pick it up. When it rang the second time, Mo Xuan stood up and walked towards me. “Are you okay?”

116: That's his guy

I froze in my bed for a few seconds, my heart beating so hard against my chest. Did he just say he knew the truth?I quickly got out of bed, not even thinking about putting on my shoes, and rushed out of the house.But Qing Han was already gone. I couldn't even see a trace of his car.With trembling hands, I tried to call him. But he didn't pick up my calls. I knew that he was intentionally ignoring me.“Pick up! Pick up! Pick up!” I said, my whole body shaking. But he didn't.So I sent him a text, asking him what he meant by his statement. Could he really have known that Tuan Tuan was his son?I finally realized how bad he must have felt when I refused to pick up his calls and ignored his texts in the morning.“Damn you, Qing Han!” I cursed out loud, still trying to reach him.“Ah Xiu? Are you okay?” I heard Mo Xuan shout at me as he rushed out of the house.My commotion while leaving a few seconds ago must have woken him up.I looked in the direction that Qing Han might have left an

117: One tiny woman

I wanted to miss work that day. I was really scared of leaving Tuan Tuan alone because I didn't know what Qing Han's plans would be.But Mo Xuan promised me that he wouldn't take his eyes off him even for a second.“Little Panda, Mommy is going to work. You have to promise me that you'll be extra careful today,” I said softly to him.He didn't know what was going on, so he looked at me with raised brows. “We are always extra careful every day, Mama.”I sighed and held his little hands in mine. “I know, sweetheart. But you still have to be extra careful. Don't trust or leave with anyone, okay? If someone wants to take you with them, shout out to Big Xuan…”He appeared a bit confused, but he still nodded his head. “Okay, Mama.”I hesitated for a few seconds, just looking back at him. “Not even Qing Han…” I said at last.I didn't want to tell him directly that he couldn't trust Qing Han. With Qing Han learning the truth, I couldn't tell what he would do.But I wanted them to have a good

118: Are you going to take him away from me?

I looked back at Qing Han and sighed deeply. I couldn't blame him because I had refused to listen to him.He sighed and slightly rubbed his brows. “Why don't we talk about it some other time?” he asked.I would have been okay if it was something else. But this was my son we were talking about.I slowly shook my head and walked closer to him. His eyes held mine, but he didn't stop me.“What do you know?” I asked, swallowing hard in fear.Qing Han sighed again. “You know what I know. Do you really need to ask?”From his expression, I realized that he knew about Tuan Tuan. But why was he so calm?I was silent for a few seconds. “When did you find out?” I asked. He couldn't have known about it all that time. I was pretty sure I had been convincing enough before.Qing Han fell silent too. He stared back at me quietly, and that made me so uneasy.“For a while now,” he said bluntly before looking away.My fingers clenched a little underneath the desk.“Qing Han…” I called helplessly. I knew

119: How I feel

I was feeling helpless when I went back home. Of course, Mo Xuan was worried that I was late. He feared that something could have happened to me.The moment I got out of the car, he rushed towards me. “Where have you been? You got us worried,” he said.This time, I didn't try to hide the truth from him. “I went looking for Qing Han,” I said.He seemed to freeze a little, but he didn't show anything on his face. “You did?“I nodded and tried to walk into the house, but he quickly stopped me and looked at me worriedly.“You know we have to figure things out right now, right?” he asked. “That guy hasn't left that spot since morning. Qing Han must be planning something.“I sighed and shook my head at him. “He said he won't take him away,” I said. I could see the car parked across the street. It had been there since morning.Something inside me told me to trust Qing Han, but I was still worried that he could have said that only to get my guard down.Of course, Mo Xuan was confused. “Huh? H

120: Call for help

The next day was Saturday. I didn't go to work. But Mo Xuan's confession was still eating at me.Even though he left early in the morning saying that he was going out to meet some clients, I was still a little bothered.Mo Xuan was the best person I had had in a long time. He cared about me unconditionally. He was always there for me.However, all this time, I always had a feeling in my heart. It was like I always knew that he had some feelings for me.I cared about him. I loved him too, but just like the best friend I could ever have. So when he confessed, I got all messed up.“Do you want to go to the park?” I asked Tuan Tuan. I thought that being outside would distract me a bit from everything that was going on.“Yay!” Tuan Tuan said happily. Unlike his dad, who preferred to stay inside, Tuan Tuan was an outside person.At the park, I sat on a bench under a tree and watched as he played on the swing with different kids.“Mama! Join me!” he said happily as he played on the swing.I
