Ning Ning felt even more wronged. Mommy was clearly lying and lost all reason. To think she had the gall to blame others… What arrogant hypocrisy!

He, however, did not dare to resist. It was said that hell hath no fury a woman scorned, hence men have to act gentlemanly.

“How could I know Mommy lied to me!” Ning Ning said with puppy eyes as he innocently accused Cheng Anya of lying as part of his upbringing.

They had been living together for over seven years. If Cheng Anya could be so easily lied to by him, then her name was not Cheng Anya!

With a sinister smile on her face, she signaled him over. “Shall I hit you twice, or you hit yourself twice?”

Ning Ning fell silent and obediently walked over. Cheng Anya pinched his cheek and kneaded it as payback. Third Young Master Ye had kneaded her face earlier, and she was eager for payback!

It felt so good to touch. It was so soft and tender, and she could not bear to let go.

He bullied her, and she bullied her son. She was calling it quits!

“Ingrate!” Cheng Anya stared at him with a sad face. She let go of her hands and Ning Ning held his face, looking at her begrudgingly, yet sadly. Cheng Anya felt no remorse and jabbed his face. “Do you like him?” she asked in an unwilling tone.

“I like him, but…” Ning Ning responded confidently and then made his stand. “I still love Mommy the most!”

Nobody could replace her.

At most, he loved his daddy a little lesser than his mommy.

Cheng Anya nodded with great satisfaction. As she was about to speak, Ye Chen opened the door and entered. He looked at Cheng Anya, downhearted, and chances were he overheard the conversation at the door.

He was ecstatic to hear that Ning Ning liked him, but the statement that followed led him to realize that that young fellow was certainly people-pleasing. As he opened the door, all the more it was so!

Cheng Anya saw his dark face and knew that he must have overheard the conversation. Deciding to go the whole nine yards, she smiled and said, “This is the central belief of your life. Remember that you were brought up by me. He has yet to contribute a single bit to your upbringing. Therefore, you are not allowed to like him more than me. Understand?”

Ye Chen’s face blackened. F***, how could she be such a mother?

Ning Ning looked at his mommy’s sweet and gentle smile, and then at his father’s blackened face. He remained silent and thought, ‘Mommy, can you stop being so macho? You must have had a lot of guts to say this in front of Daddy.’

‘You must know that you are no match for him.’

‘As he is strong, you have to be weak. This is the wisest way out!’

“I feel that…” As Ning Ning spoke, Cheng Anya and Ye Chen looked at him simultaneously. One was smiling, whereas the other was dull. He could imagine himself being torn into two by them.

Uh…

These parents were especially scary!

Ye Chen stared at Cheng Anya. This damned wretch… How could she have had him without him? F***, what utter nonsense. How could she say that he did not contribute a single bit?

“How could you say that I did not contribute a single bit? Who gave you your salary and bonuses for these two months? I took him out to have KFC last night too! Ye Chen said these two foolish statements out of foolishness and anger.

Ning Ning, mouth agape, was stunned by his father’s train of thought! His daddy was really too talented!

Cheng Anya smiled and said, “President Ye, please get this clear. I earn my salary and bonuses from the stress you imposed on me at work. Given your mentally unsound character and hard-to-deal-with working attitude, I feel that my salary does not commensurate with my labor. As for the KFC… Huh… One look and you must have had most of it!

Ye Chen had a sinister look, at a loss for words. This woman was not anybody else.

Ning Ning saw his daddy lost the battle and quietly mourned for him.

“Mommy is right! Of course I love Mommy the most!”

This was definitely from the heart!

“Baby sure is good!” Cheng Anya smiled at Third Young Master Ye. Despite her pretty face and formal smile, he had the temptation to stomp on her face.

“Mommy, have some fish soup! I prepared it for you!” Ning Ning said as he saw the bickering come to a temporary halt and digressed. He poured some fish soup for Cheng Anya, which was thankfully warm.

“Daddy!” Ning Ning suddenly called out. Unused to the address, Cheng Anya almost spat out the fish soup in her mouth and choked on it.

Ye Chen was excited and broke into a wide grin. He seemed confident.

He conveniently went to hold Ning Ning’s hand and gently said, “Ning Ning…”

Ning Ning smiled at him as Cheng Anya quietly drank the fish soup, her downward gaze carrying a mix of emotions.

What next?

“Daddy, I feel that we should maintain the status quo, okay?” Ning Ning smiled whilst Cheng Anya’s hands froze and she raised her gaze. As she looked deeply at Ning Ning, she wondered if he knew what was on her mind.

She smiled in relief because he was her baby, and he was obedient in front of her. She had forgotten how smart her baby was. As the mother and son who relied on each other for seven years, how could they not have such a rapport?

“Maintain the status quo?” Ye Chen frowned as he subconsciously rejected the thought. He wanted to spend all his life with his son. Having missed him for seven years, he did not want to miss any more time with him.

Ning Ning nodded and said calmly, “Daddy has his own life, and Mommy and I have our own lives. Let’s maintain the status quo. As I am, in fact, your son, Mommy and I, however, want a quiet life where we are undisturbed. If you would like to see me, you are welcome anytime. As for the others, those are for another time.

This had to be it for now. He really hoped his daddy and mommy would get married, but that could not be rushed. Matters of the heart required time, and there were things he could not interfere in despite his genius-level intellect.

Maintaining the status quo was good for everybody.

Changes in the future could then be discussed.

“No!” Ye Chen objected. What kind of acknowledgment was this! To have a son was such an important and meaningful thing to him.

Cheng Anya raised her eyebrows and put down the fish soup. As she wiped her mouth, she said, “President Ye, what do you want then?”

Cheng Anya’s calm response caught Ye Chen in a quandary. What did he want?

Indeed, what did he want?

He suddenly went silent and stood up. Walking to the window, he coldly looked at the patients strolling below. Without speaking a word, he emanated a harsh and cold ambiance.

Cheng Anya and Ning Ning looked at each other in the eye, then at Ye Chen’s cold silhouette. Nobody spoke a word.

A moment later, Ning Ning moved his lips and asked, “What is with Daddy?”

“I don’t know!” Cheng Anya moved her lips in reply.

“Does this count as abandoning him?” Ning Ning asked slowly. He was a little guilty and looked at his daddy’s silhouette worryingly.

Cheng Anya saw her son’s lips move and remained silent.

That was why she said that acknowledging a son was a messy affair!

“If…,” Ye Chen replied with a dull voice that carried some seriousness. “…Forget it then!”
