After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Just as Lin Xi was about to fall to the ground, a pair of large hands suddenly braced against Lin Xi's waist, steadily supporting her.

Qi Yuye looked down at Lin Xi with concern in his eyes.

Are you alright?

Tears welled up in Lin Xi's eyes. With Qi Yuye's help, she steadied herself, shook her head, and remained silent.

Judging from Lin Xi's appearance, it's obvious what happened without even asking.

Qi Yuye's gaze fell on Nan Shu, his tone icy.

"What happened?"

Nan Shu couldn't help but sneer when she saw this.

What do you think?

Qi Yuye only has Lin Xi in his heart, and he won't listen to anything she says.

Lin Xi glanced at Nan Shu, afraid that she would continue to bring up the matter of Nuomi, so she tugged at Qi Yuye's arm.

"Alright, it was my own fault for saying something unpleasant that angered Miss Nan. Please don't blame Miss Nan."

"You came back so late, you must be tired. Let's take Nuomi back and rest first."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Qi Yuye's gaze turned even colder.

His gaze swept across Nan Shu's face, and seeing that she remained silent, his anger flared up instantly.

"is that so?"

Nan Shu looked directly into Qi Yuye's eyes, her gaze filled with stubbornness.

She was unwilling to explain, nor did she bother to explain.

"Do you know about the injuries on Nuomi's body?"

Nan Shu was thinking about Nuomi, so she decided to take this opportunity to bring it up.

As a mother, she couldn't bear to see Nuomi being bullied, even though Nuomi was Lin Xi's child.

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at Nuomi beside him.

"Someone tell me what's going on?"

Qi Yuye's tone softened somewhat.

"I think you should ask Lin Xi, as a mother, after knowing that her child was bullied, instead of protecting her child, she blamed the child for being careless."

"Lin Xi, don't you think you've been neglecting your duties as a mother?"

Since arriving here, Nan Shu has been thinking that it's better to avoid trouble and only wants to finish the design as soon as possible and leave.

But she simply couldn't ignore what happened today.

Lin Xi was surprised that Nan Shu had not forgotten this matter and had even brought it up in front of Qi Yuye.

Her face looked terrible, and her nails dug into her flesh.

"I don't think I need to explain to you. It's just a little squabble between kids. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"What exactly happened?"

Qi Yuye frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked away guiltily and began to stammer as she spoke.

"It wasn't anything serious, just a little squabble between kids..."

"Yu Ye, don't you believe me anymore? Have you forgotten what you said..."

Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Qi Yuye paused for a moment.

A moment later, he looked up at Nan Shu.

"Since you care about Nuomi so much, then Nuomi will be in your care."

"However, we can't just let it go like this. You'll have to help take care of Nuomi, which will be your way of making amends."

"I?"

Nan Shu was taken aback by Qi Yuye's words and was momentarily speechless.

Lin Xi, his biological mother, is still alive, so why would Qi Yuye entrust Nuomi to her care?

"You don't want to?"

Qi Yuye raised an eyebrow, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

Looking at Nuomi's chubby little face and her big, blinking eyes, Nan Shu's heart had already melted.

Yeah, it's boring being home alone. Having Nuomi with me keeps me company.

Nan Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I can take care of Nuomi, but I'm a little worried about her because she has so many injuries, so I need to take her to the hospital for a check-up."

"no problem."

Qi Yuye agreed to Nan Shu's request without hesitation.

"I'll have the driver take you there first thing tomorrow morning."

Lin Xi was furious that all her efforts had been in vain, but she could only pretend to be relieved on the surface.

"Then I'll leave the glutinous rice to you."

"Yuye, shall we go back to our room first? I have a lot to tell you."

Lin Xi tugged at Qi Yuye's arm and acted coquettishly in front of Nan Shu.

Lin Xi was always shrewd and capable in front of Nan Shu, and Nan Shu had never seen her like this before.

Qi Yuye's gaze swept across Nan Shu's face, and when he saw Nan Shu look away, he nodded.

"Let's go."

The next morning, Nan Shu got up early to take Nuomi to the hospital for a check-up.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Wang Ma waiting for me with a respectful attitude.

"Miss Nan, breakfast is ready."

Nan Shu was somewhat surprised when she thought about Lin Xi's deliberate attempt to intimidate her yesterday.

After carefully checking and confirming that there were no peanuts or similar things, Nan Shu had breakfast with Enen and then set off for the hospital.

When Nuomi was woken up, she was still a little groggy and reluctantly came to the living room.

Nan Shu smiled slightly and waved to Nuomi, who then became more alert.

Seeing Nuomi's worried look, Nan Shu patted Nuomi's head.

"What's wrong, Nuomi? Are you afraid of needles?"

Nuomi pouted and nodded.

"I don't want to get a shot, it hurts a lot."

Before Nan Shu could speak, Enen came over and patted her little chest.

"Sister, don't be afraid. I've had injections many times before, it doesn't hurt."

"Really?"

Nuomi was a little skeptical, but seeing how confident Enen was, she believed him to some extent.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Qi Yuye's assistant took Nan Shu directly to the pre-arranged consultation room.

After a simple blood test and some basic examinations, confirming that there were no major problems, Nan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I took Nuomi to breakfast, and when I came back, the test results were already in.

The glutinous rice was well cared for, and all its indicators were normal.

Nan Shu was checking the report when she suddenly stopped.

Nuomi's blood type... actually matches Hmm's!

An impossible thought popped into her mind, which she then dismissed.

Nan Shu was somewhat incredulous and looked at it repeatedly several times.

Her hands trembled slightly, and for the first time, she felt a sense of anticipation as she recalled the doctor's suggestion.

Is it because Nuomi is Qi Yuye's child that they are matched?

Nan Shu's gaze fell on Nuomi's face, and she fell into deep thought for a moment.

Nuomi and Enen were having a great time, and their silvery laughter reached Nan Shu's mind, making her feel momentarily dazed.

If her child were still alive, he would probably be about the same age as Nuomi (a famous Chinese rice dumpling) by now...

Unfortunately, Qi Yuye could not tolerate it.

Nan Shu felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She clenched her fists and looked at Hmm beside her.

This is her only child, and she must protect him!

Will Qi Luye agree?
