"Father, you're going again"
"Yes. Papa has to go back to B city"
"When did you come home?"
"Papa's coming home every weekend
Yimin was disappointed.
"Can't you stay?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't leave my job. If Yimin misses papa you can call papa or video call"
Yimin reluctantly nodded. Li Huan Rui gently rubbed her daughter's hair. Yimin's small hand stretched out asking for a hug. Li Huan Rui hugged her little daughter. Yimin then released him after long enough to hug his papa. Li Huan Rui walked in front of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao nodded. She was about to kiss him but the woman pushed her chest and turned her head towards Yimin.
"I won't see"
Yimin covered his face with his small hands. Li Huan Rui only smiled looking at his daughter's behavior.
"I'm going first"
Bai Xiao simply replied with a nod. Li Huan Rui then got into the car and drove his car away from home.
"Mama, are you disappointed that you didn't get a kiss from papa"
Yimin seduces her mom.
"What are you thinking? Why my mom was disappointed. Come on in, it's cold outside"
'Why is mom so stiff'

Shen Fengyin felt suspicious of her son because her son was always looking for an excuse when Shen Fengyin asked to return home during the weekend. Shen Fengyin finally asked someone to keep an eye on Li Huan Rui and the person she sent said that Li Huan Rui drove the car towards H city. But the person watching him lost track of Li Huan Rui on the street. Yet Shen Fengyin knew where her son was headed. Shen Fengyin asked the driver to prepare the car.
"Wife, where are you going?"
"I'm going to H city. I wonder what the reason Huanrui went back and forth from B city to H city"
"I'm the one who drove you"
"No need, there's a driver ..."
"I also want to see my son so it's better we go together and also I don't want you to go far with another man"
The driver called Shen Fengyin immediately left when he saw Li Yongsheng's sharp gaze. Shen Fengyin shook her head. How could her husband be so jealous even to an old driver.
"All right, it's up to you"
Li YongSheng smiled then he immediately took his car keys. He took Shen Fengyin to help her get into the car then he folded the wheelchair and placed it on the back bench.
"Fengyin, why do you have to follow Li Huan Rui like this?"
"Didn't you notice? Our son is a little weird. You know every weekend he's never been home. Even though he reasoned to me that he had a lot of work. I've been to the Company on weekends and the office is still locked, he's not at home and it turns out he went to H city even though his work in H city has been completed"
"I hope our son doesn't secretly live with Su Han"
"Why if he was with Su Han? They're friends, aren't they?"
" They're not just friends. Did you know that Li Huan Rui who had never taken more than a day off suddenly took a leave of absence and went to A Country on vacation with Su Han"
"Then, what's wrong with that?"
"My husband, do you really not understand or suspect?"
"Why should you be suspicious? "
"My husband, why are you being stupid again. Someone who has never taken a day off suddenly takes time off just for a vacation together even they are away long enough? And you know that our son is always cold to women even if he's nice to Helena he never takes time off to be with her. So if they're just friends, is that natural?"
"....now many couples are like that. If until our son does like his neighbor what about our bloodline"
Li YongSheng chuckled.
"My husband, I'm discussing something serious, why are you laughing "
"My wife, this is the first time you've spoken this much. My wife, you're over-thinking this. Looks like you'll have to cut down to watch the drama"
"It's not because of the drama, but..."
"Oh, you calm down. I'm sure our son still likes women. You do not remember, how bad he was when Li Jiao left? She probably loved Li Jiao too much therefore she could not accept another woman"
Li YongSheng clasped his wife's hand. Shen Fengyin sighed, she also hoped that her imagination was wrong.
After a few hours, Li YongSheng's SUV parked in a mansion. Li YongSheng went down first then he took a wheelchair and helped Shen Fengyin down. Li YongSheng pushed the wheelchair and pressed a button.
Not long after a servant opened the door.
"The lady's big"
"Is the young master here"
"Yes, Madam"
Shen Fengyin and Li YongSheng went inside. The waiter asked them to sit down. Then the servant went to call his young master.

Tok tok tok tok
"Excuse me sir, the great madam is coming looking for you"
Li YongSheng who was teaching his little daughter to do pr, he asked the maid to ask them to wait.
"You wait here first. Papa's gonna meet them"
Li Huan Rui then let his daughter study and go downstairs to meet her parents.
***
"Mama, papa why are you here?"
"We must not meet our son. Li Huan Rui, isn't your work in H city finished. Why do you still go to H city so often?"
"How did you know that I often go to H City? Did mom ask someone to watch me?"
"Papa"
A little girl clasped Li Huan Rui's hand.
"Yimin, why are you here?"
"Yimin wants to say hello to his grandparents"
"Hallo, grandparents, my name is Li Yimin"
Li Yongsheng and Shen Fengyin looked at each other with puzzled gazes.
"Rui, did you adopt a child and hide it in H city?"
Shen Fengyin and Li YongSheng looked at the girl. He had the same honey-brown black hair as Li Huan Rui and Shen Fengyin's, the child's face also looked familiar. The little girl's face was similar to Li Jiao's as a child only Li Jiao's eyes were dark and cold black but this child had bright and soft honey brown eyes.
"Rui, did you adopt a child and hide it in H city?"
Li Yongsheng tried to understand the status of this child. This child might be around 7 or 8 years old there was no way that Li Huan Rui would have a child of this size and also this child was similar to Li Jiao. He knew that his son still had a hard time forgetting Li Jiao so to treat his longing he adopted a child similar to him.
"He's my son, Yimin's not an adopted son"
"Whatchu mean? Li Huan Rui, he is 7 or 8 years old and you are only 26. How could you have a child this big"
"Yimin, you go into the room first huh"
"All right"
Yimin said and headed straight for the stairs.
"Li Huan Rui, did you impregnate someone at 18? "
Li Huan Rui nodded.
"You have a child and you're still continuing your engagement to Helena and ignoring your child?"
"What is he.. Li Jiao's son?"
"Yes"
Shen Fengyin sighed. He tried to contain his anger but it was Li YongSheng who was angry at Li Huan Rui.
"Rui, how can you be so reckless. Do you have that kind of relationship at the age of Moses? And you know it's not that pregnancy at a young age is too risky. Now he knew why Li Yongfan was avoiding his family. Li Yongsheng originally only thought their intimate relationship was just kissing but he did not expect his son would act like that.
" It is possible that Li Jiao died while giving birth to her daughter"
Li Huan Rui did not have time to answer when a woman suddenly entered carrying plastic in her hands.
"Li Jiao"
The woman looked towards Shen Fengyin and Li YongSheng.
"Sorry, my name is Bai Xiao"
"Mama, meet my wife"
"You're married? Is that why you rejected everyone I arranged for you"
Li Huan Rui nodded. Li YongSheng and Shen Fengyin looked at the expressionless woman.
"Wife, I'll help you with the groceries"
"No need to be alone. You just go with your parents"
Bai Xiao then went to the kitchen.
"Li Huan Rui, did you marry that woman because she looked like Li Jiao?"
"Mama, I married her because I love her"
"What about the background? "
"Is that important? Mama, for me the most important thing is that I love her and she's also kind to Yimin"
"Li Huanrui, what if she's just using you?"
"It doesn't matter, after all I'm using it to take care of my daughter"
Shen Fengyin sighed, though she was grateful that her son did not hide a man and she still liked women but having a daughter-in-law with no background never occurred to her.
"It's my wife, Rui's right. The background was not very important for Li Huan Rui's current state. Rui already had a daughter from a respectable family would not accept this"
Shen Fengyin sighed. Maybe her husband was right. Although Shen Fengyin was not too satisfied with her daughter-in-law's status, if she was, she could treat the wounds in Rui's heart. He is better to accept it but he feels Rui and his wife's relationship is not too good especially his wife also looks cold. Maybe he should find out about the woman.
"Li Huan Rui, have you guys had lunch? How about we have lunch together outside"
"You can take your wife and daughter as well"
"All right"
Shen Fengyin typed something after her son left.
"What are you planning?"
"No, I'm not planning anything"
"It's good if you don't plan something. My wife, we shouldn't interfere in our son's relationship. Don't let what happened in the past happen again.
"I understand"
***
They had dinner at a fancy western-style restaurant.
"Yimin, do you like shrimp ?"
"Auntie, Yimin is allergic to seafood. He'll be short of breath if he eats seafood"
"You know a lot about him"
"Mommy, Bai Xiao is indeed close to Yimin, of course she knows a lot about Yimin"
Yimin was initially surprised that her mother knew about it even though her mother had gone away from her but she remembered it. Maybe her grandmother reported it to her.
"Then, is it okay to eat meat?"
Yimin nodded.
Shen Fengyin raised her hand and ordered some food. Li YongSheng was trying to get close to his grandson. He asked about Yimin school.
When the food came they started to enjoy the food. Shen Fengyin watched Bai Xiao who helped cut the meat for Yimin. Shen Fengyin did not expect that the cold-looking lady was actually attentive to Yimin. His dissatisfaction is slightly reduced.
"Why don't you guys live together in B city? Education in B city is better and also Li Huan Rui does not have to go back and forth from B city to H city"
"Mama, H city is safer at least they will not be disturbed by paparazu bullies"
"Is that so? But isn't it uncomfortable living separately? You won't focus on working either, will you? Li Huan Rui mama doesn't want you to be too tired"
"No, I'm not tired after all H city is quieter than B city. At least I feel calmer "
"And neither does Yimin want to move"
"Yes, that's right. Yimin doesn't want to leave Yimin's friends"
Shen Fengyin no longer discussed it and focused on enjoying her food
***
"Did you tell your mom about my identity?"
"No, I know you that you don't want your identity to be known"
"Then did you tell me the truth about Yimin?"
"Yes, I also have no intention of hiding my daughter's challenge"
"I didn't expect them to easily accept Yimin"
"Of course they accepted my daughter anyway mama wanted a granddaughter My mother was worried if her lineage stopped me when I refused to marry"
"You refuse to marry? Why?"
Li Huan Rui looked at the woman sitting beside him.
"Your horse. I don't want to marry anyone but you"
Bai Xiao looked at the man looking for lies from his eyes. Li Huan Rui brought his face closer.
Tok tok tok tok
"Father, Mama"
Bai Xiao pushed Li Huan Rui.
"Mama, papa did Yimin bother you"
"No, what's up Yimin?"
"Father, grandma and grandpa are going home"
"Yes. We're going down"
"Papa, mama after dropping off grandparents, you can continue what you're doing"
Yimin blinked one eye and teased his parents and left. Bai Xiao felt awkward.
***
"Mama, papa. Why don't you guys stay over?"
"I still have to do my job. Yimin, next time go to B city"
"Yes, grandma"
Shen Fengyin gently rubbed her grandson's hair. Grandson smiled. How adorable.
Li Yongsheng then helped his wife into the car. The car left the Missions
