The CEO’s Heartbeat - C68
Pei Anchen’s gaze darkened, he glanced at Little Ze who was in Shangguan Lingwan’s arms, then pursed his lips and said softly, “His mother passed away when he was three years old, so I’ve been bringing him along all this time. “Previously, when I was out eating with Little Ze, I met a partner and chatted with him for a while. I left him alone in the hotel, which was why there was the matter of Little Ze’s disappearance.”
Shangguan Lingwan was a little shocked, she did not expect that she had accidentally poked his sore spot, and she felt a little embarrassed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she felt that it was useless. After all, in the eyes of others, she was probably just a young girl that hadn’t grown up yet, so some things weren’t suitable for her to say.
In the end, a myriad of emotions turned into two words: “I’m sorry.”
At first, she thought that her child’s father was irresponsible, but now it seems that she was just a child. Her thoughts were too simple. It would be hard for Pei Anchen to bring Little Ze along like this.
“It’s all in the past, you don’t have to feel guilty.” Pei Anchen seemed to see her awkwardness, and appeared very magnanimous and indifferent. If it weren’t for the fact that she could see his slightly tense face, Shangguan Lingwan almost thought he didn’t seem to care at all.
Shangguan Lingwan caressed Little Ze’s head. For a while, there was nothing to say, so she could only ask: “I heard you were very busy, and that coming here specifically was a waste of time, right?”
“Everything is worth it for the child, and this is my card, thanks to you. If you have any major help in the future, feel free to call me. It’s getting late, I have to catch the next plane, so I won’t be late. ” Pei Anchen took out a gold business card and handed it to Shangguan Lingwan.
Shangguan Lingwan took it, and nodded to him, as if understanding, “If that’s the case, then we’ll part ways here. We’ll meet again in the future.”
The two of them stood up at the same time and shook hands politely.
Knowing that it would be hard to see Shangguan Lingwan after they separated, Little Ze was reluctant to get up in her arms, and he held Shangguan Lingwan’s hand tightly.
He knew that Shangguan Lingwan wasn’t his mother, but he really took her to be his mother.
Seeing Xiaoze’s reliance on Shangguan Lingwan, the two of them felt a little awkward.
After spending a few days with Little Ze, Shangguan Lingwan felt a little reluctant to part with him, so she led him out first. “How about I send you guys out?”
Pei Anchen looked at his son who was very dependent on Shangguan Lingwan, and could not help but feel sorry for him. He even had a better impression of Shangguan Lingwan, and nodded in agreement.
The two of them held onto Little Ze’s hand as they walked out of the coffee shop and into Pei Anchen’s car.
Pei Anchen was also very embarrassed for Shangguan Lingwan, and offered to send her back to school.
Although Shangguan Lingwan was embarrassed to trouble him, she still nodded in agreement when she saw Little Ze’s reluctant expression and got into Pei An Chen’s car.
Neither of them noticed that Wang Meng’er, who was holding a few bags of clothes on the corner of the street, had a pleased smile on her face. She pulled her phone in satisfaction as she watched Pei An Chen’s car drive away.
That day, because Little Ze had left, Shangguan Lingwan was not in a good mood. Luckily, Yin Hanchuan had returned, which made up for her regret.
The next morning, Shangguan Lingwan had a rare chance of not having any classes. She made an appointment with Yin Hanchuan to soak in a hot spring at a famous spa nearby after work, letting her relax and take a breather.
Of course, it was also because Yin Hanchuan couldn’t wait to create more sweet memories of his time with her.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Yin Hanchuan, Shangguan Lingwan decided to visit her senior sister Su Xiaoliu first. She had been troubled quite a bit a few days ago, so she would naturally repay her when she had time.
However, before she could ask Su Xiao Li out, she received a call from Su Xiao Li.
“Junior, there’s been an accident. Right now, your photos are circulating everywhere on the internet. They say that you are being taken care of by others for the sake of money and even being a stepmother …”
From Su Xiao Yin’s anxious and concise words, Shangguan Lingwan instantly understood what had happened, and the blood drained from her face.
She had never cared about how others viewed her, but such a huge incident that occurred on the internet was extremely bad for her reputation. Not only did it affect her development in music, more importantly, she was worried that her relatives in the capital would worry about her, and also affect her clan’s reputation.
Shangguan Lingwan was naturally not in the mood to ask Su Xiao Li out after what had happened. After hanging up, she quickly went online to check.
Sure enough, rumors were spreading all over the internet about her being taken care of. There were quite a few photos of her and Pei Anchen leading Little Ze out of the coffee shop and back to the car.
Pei Anchen’s appearance was not very obvious, but his own appearance was clearly visible. Shangguan Lingwan bit her lips angrily, this was clearly someone purposely trying to frame her.
She quickly checked online and found that the original post was posted on the school website. The school was famous in Jinshi, and the original poster was very popular with many of the school beauties and Shangguan Lingwan’s photos. It was quickly reprinted on all the websites, forums, and forums.
Obviously, it must have been done by someone from the school. However, Shangguan Lingwan was not very popular in the school and she couldn’t think of who did this at the moment. For the first time, Shangguan Lingwan felt flustered. She did not care about her reputation, but she cared very much about her family’s reputation.
The first thing he thought of was to ask his brother for help. After all, she was just an ordinary university student, so there was nothing she could do.
She had just taken out her mobile when the door suddenly opened with a crack. Yin Hanchuan’s usually gentle and handsome face was now even darker than the bottom of a pot, even more angry than the night he came back to see Little Ze.
Shangguan Lingwan couldn’t help but flinch back a little. Yin Hanchuan had always been a jealous man. Had he turned the tables again? Seems like he drank quite a bit.
She felt wronged, but thinking about how she was now his girlfriend, it was normal for her to be unhappy about something like this. If it was her, she might not be able to maintain her rationality.
Thinking of this, she actually felt that she was in the wrong. She quickly explained, “It’s not like the rumors on the internet, I …”
Yin Hanchuan also knew about Little Ze’s existence, she believed that as long as she was clear about it, Yin Hanchuan would no longer be angry.
Before she could finish her words, Yin Hanchuan had already walked over to her, effortlessly pulling her into his embrace. He sat on the sofa with her, interrupting her in a very serious manner: “Are you frightened? I’ve already arranged for people to take care of things online, so it’ll be over soon. “
