Old Master Gong paced around the room, peeping out from time to time.
Xiao Wang said honestly, “Chief, eldest young master probably just got off the plane. It will take at least four to five hours for him to arrive here. Why don’t you go back to your room to rest? I’ll inform you when eldest young master arrives!”
Old Master Gong immediately said, “Hmph, who said I’m waiting for that brat? I’m just exercising!”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, “…” Really?
“Alright, I’ll go to my room to rest now. When that Brat arrives, wake me up,” Old Master Gong instructed.
‘What a duplicitous person.’
Actually, Old Master Gong was still hung up on the surprise Gong Tianhao was supposed to give him.
Even though the road was tarred, Taoyuan Village was still considered remote. He needed time to get here.
While he was lying down, Old Master Gong still asked, “Xiao Wang, what kind of surprise do you think that Brat is going to give me? Is he going to bring me a granddaughter-in-law?” Without waiting for Xiao Wang to answer, Elder Gong continued, “Actually, I quite like Xiao Lingyu, but now she…”
No matter how open-minded he was, he couldn’t allow Xiao Lingyu to marry into the Gong Family with an illegitimate child. It would make the Gong Family lose face.

Xiao Wang said in confusion, “Chief, didn’t you say that you only treat Xiao Lingyu like a granddaughter?”
“…” Old Master Gong huffed. “You’re really helpless. It’s like talking to a rock!”
“Chief, I’d rather be a tree.” Xiao Wang said.
Old Master Gong glared and said, “What is wrong with your mind? Do you have to argue with me about that?”
Xiao Wang said truthfully, “But Chief, I’m tall as a tree. Not squat like a rock.”
“But I’m your chief.” Old Master Gong snorted. “Since I say you’re a rock, then you’re a rock.”
Xiao Wang scratched the back of his head and nodded very honestly. “Okay, I’m a rock.”
“Alright, you can leave now!” Old Master Gong chased Xiao Wang out like he was shooing away a fly. “You’re only going to make me mad.” Other people’s subordinates were all efficient and clever. However, his subordinates were naive and dumb.
“…” Xiao Wang nodded. “Alright, Chief. I’ll go. You should rest. When eldest young master arrives, I’ll come and call you.”
Old Master Gong, “…” He has to be doing this on purpose. How can a person be so stupid?
…
Yan Ruyu knew that her eldest cousin had something to say to Xiao Lingyu, so she tactfully brought Xiaohui away.
On the way to the Strawberry Field, Yan Ruyu held Xiao Xiaohui’s hand and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Xiaohui, are you close to Brother Yan?”
Xiao Xiaohui shook his head very honestly and said, “Not really. Today is my second time seeing him.”
“When did you see him for the first time? Yan Ruyu couldn’t hold back her curiosity.
Xiao Xiaohui tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, “It was about a month after my sister came back from City Z.”
Yan Ruyu’s eyes lit up. “Your sister used to stay in City Z?” Her eldest cousin was the president of Yan Group. Perhaps that was how the two knew each other? This cleared up her doubts on why Yan Siming would know a woman from the countryside. But what exactly was the nature of their relationship? Was Xiao Lingyu one of Yan Siming’s women?
Yan Siming lost his composure the moment he heard Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. Could it be because the child had to do with him?
Yan Ruyu’s curiosity was piqued.
Xiao Xiaohui said proudly, “My sister is a famous university student. After graduating, she worked in City Z for a few years.”
“Then, do you know how your sister and Brother Yan met?” Yan Ruyu asked.
Xiao Xiaohui was immediately on guard. He let go of Yan Ruyu’s hand and asked warily, “Pretty sister, why do you keep asking about my sister and Brother Yan?
“My sister has been bullied before. I will never allow anyone to bully my sister again,” Xiao Xiaohui said heroically. “If you want to bully my sister, please leave Taoyuan Village now.”
“…” Yan Ruyu suddenly felt stifled. Then, she explained, “No, Xiaohui, you misunderstood. Why would I bully your sister? I’m just curious how your sister got to know my brother.”
Xiao Xiaohui didn’t let down his guard but asked sharply, “Then, why are you curious?”
Yan Ruyu said, “I… I’m just concerned about my brother. He has never been close to any woman. But he is clearly close to your sister, so I’m curious.”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiaohui said, “So you mean Brother Yan wants to pursue my sister?”
“…” Yan Ruyu really did not know how to explain. How could a child understand the complicated world of adults?
Xiao Xiaohui’s small hands immediately clenched into fists, and his small face said seriously, “No, I won’t let any man hurt my sister anymore.”

After saying that, he ran back.
Seeing this, Yan Ruyu immediately grabbed him and said, “Xiaohui, don’t worry. My Brother will never hurt your sister.”
“I don’t believe it!” Xiao Xiaohui said seriously, “In the past, Brother Chen said that he would treat my sister well. In the end, he hurt my sister so badly. He has ruined her life. Now that I have grown up, I must protect my sister well and not let her be hurt again. Let me go.”
Yan Ruyu, “…” What a cute hero.
However, her brother and Xiao Lingyu clearly had something to discuss. She could not let this child interrupt them.
Yan Ruyu explained, “Xiaohui, isn’t my brother at your sister’s house? How can he hurt her there?” As she said this, she patted Xiao Xiaohui’s head, “Don’t worry too much. The adult world is complicated. You don’t understand it now. Brother Yan and your sister are friends. They haven’t met for a long time, so they have things to discuss. Let’s not disturb them, okay? Don’t worry. I promise you that Brother Yan won’t hurt your sister.”
Xiao Xiaohui thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay!” Then, he thought of something. “I need to inform second uncle and the others that Brother Yan is here. Come, pretty sister, I’ll bring you to the Strawberry Field!”
“…” Yan Ruyu nodded. “Okay! Let’s go.”
‘Why are you so anxious to inform your second uncle and the others? Are you still worried that my eldest cousin will harm your sister? Are you calling for reinforcements?’
…
Xiao Xiaohui and Yan Ruyu left, leaving only Yan Siming in the courtyard.
The atmosphere was a little quiet!
It was Xiao Lingyu who spoke first and asked, “President Yan, why are you here?” She didn’t think he was here for the strawberries, even though that was the reason why most people were at Taoyuan Village that day.
Yan Siming coughed twice.
Xiao Lingyu looked up. She pointed to the stone bench next to her and said, “President Yan, please sit!”
After saying that, she got up from the recliner and moved carefully into the house.
When Yan Siming saw that a wave of anger surged in his heart again, he suddenly asked loudly, “What are you doing?”
Xiao Lingyu was startled and then said, “You are a guest, so I’m preparing tea to serve you.” She walked into the house. A moment later, she brought a teapot and two teacups over. She served the table.
Xiao Lingyu filled the two teacups with tea.
Yan Siming sniffed.
He smelled the fragrance of tea. This fragrance made him feel very comfortable. He took a sip. His eyes lit up, and he could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Good tea!”
His family was rich and powerful. He was used to the best things. However, the tea he tasted then was more fragrant than the tea leaves worth 160,000 RMB.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “The tea leaves are just normal tea leaves. However, we have fresh water here. So the flavor is different.”
Yan Siming told her that he didn’t like her, so she decided to treat him as a friend. She didn’t think too much when he questioned her about her pregnancy. He was probably concerned as a friend.
After pouring a cup of tea for Yan Siming, Xiao Lingyu returned to the house. Not long after, she brought out a fruit plate. The fruit plate was filled with common and ordinary fruits like apples, pears, bananas, grapes, and strawberries. It was obvious that the strawberries were home-grown.
Yan Siming noticed that while the fruits looked ordinary, they were sparkling. They gave off a very natural fragrance. When they were near, the aroma of the fruits became even more alluring.
Xiao Lingyu placed the fruit plate on the stone table and said very politely, “President Yan, there’s not much else I can offer you other than some fruits.”
Yan Siming’s sharp eyes swept across Xiao Ling’s face and said, “Xiao Lingyu, you can call me by my name, or you can call me Brother Yan or Brother Ming. Outside of work, I don’t like to be called President Yan, especially by you!”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
‘Alright… President Yan, in the rumors, is an unpredictable person. It looks like he is unhappy. But when did I offend him?’
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Alright, you’re three years older than me. I’ll call you Brother Yan.”
Xiao Lingyu was twenty-five years old, while Yan Siming was twenty-eight years old. Xiao Lingyu found out about Yan Siming’s age from Google.
Yan Siming did not say anything. He just picked a grape from the fruit plate with his beautiful and well-defined fingers. The grape was as clear as a purple pearl, emitting a seductive luster. Yan Siming twisted his hands, and the peel fell off easily. The aroma became more intense.
“Wonderful.” Yan Siming ate the fruit and praised. “Everything here is wonderful. The strawberries, the tea, the fruits, and the people…”
Was he praising her?
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “They are just some ordinary things.”
Yan Siming’s sharp eyes stared at Xiao Lingyu with a stern expression. He asked, “Why did you decide to keep the child? Don’t you know that without the child, you can still marry into a good family? How are you going to get married now?”
Xiao Lingyu also picked a grape and put it into her mouth. Then, she said calmly, “If no one wants to marry me, then I won’t marry. I can raise the child on my own.”
She owed Xiao Tong, and she had to make it up to him for the rest of her life. She didn’t care if the others understood her or not. She would become strong enough so that no one would dare to speak ill of Xiao Tong.
“But a woman has to get married eventually, right?” Yan Siming clenched his fists. He had struggled in the past few months due to the hollow in his heart. When he finally admitted his feelings, he found out the woman he wanted to pursue was pregnant.
This was too unexpected.
For a moment, he couldn’t accept it.
What he didn’t understand was why did Xiao Lingyu decide to keep this child?
Xiao Lingyu didn’t know what Yan Siming was thinking.
She only lowered her head slightly and touched her stomach with her hands, her face revealing a maternal glow.
She said, “A man who really likes me won’t mind this child. If I can’t find a man like that in my life, then I’ll stay single all my life.”
“So, you don’t mind spending the rest of your life protecting this child on your own?” Yan Siming asked sharply.
“That’s right!” Xiao Lingyu nodded firmly.
Yan Siming was overwhelmed by helplessness.
He did not mind Xiao Lingyu, but he really could not pretend the child didn’t exist. The child was not his. He could not accept this.
Yan Siming’s sharp gaze locked onto Xiao Lingyu’s clear eyes. He asked in puzzlement, “Xiao Lingyu, why do you have to keep this child?”
Xiao Lingyu gently touched her stomach and said in a mournful voice, “Because I owe him.”
Yan Siming, “…”
He furrowed his brows and became even more confused.
‘What does she mean? Who is him?’
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.. Xiao Lingyu was rubbing her stomach, and Yan Siming was deep in thought.
