"Mom, is he really an illegitimate child?" He Shizhou had heard this question countless times, and he could even guess what would follow.

He Shizhou closed his eyes. As expected, Su Yin slapped the sofa hard, her face cold and stern.

The two remained silent for a long time. After all, this was his mother, so He Shizhou took the initiative to speak. But as soon as he called out "Mom," footsteps came from the stairs, and two figures came down from the second floor.

He Shizhou looked up and saw his father coming downstairs with another young man beside him. The man smiled slightly when he saw him.

"Shizhou is back. It's Dad's birthday today, and he was just mentioning you." He Linyan nodded slightly to He Shizhou. Although his attitude wasn't particularly warm, it was still pleasant.

He Shizhou stood up, nodded in greeting, and said, "Dad, brother."

He Qi glanced at his youngest son, then thought of his son's lack of ambition, and simply hummed in agreement, then said, "Let's eat."

He Shizhou lowered his eyes and said nothing more. He watched as He Qi passed by him. Su Yin, who had been sitting on the sofa, suppressed her anger and walked towards the dining room.

He Linyan paused slightly, patted He Shizhou's shoulder lightly, the two brothers smiled at each other, and then He Linyan left.

The meal had only been underway for a short time, and after only a few bites, with so many men at the table, the conversation inevitably turned to company matters. He Shizhou hadn't intended to join in, but He Qi suddenly mentioned him.

"He Shizhou, I heard that you took leave recently and spent 80 million to buy a deep-sea clam, and then went back to Beicheng to bid 30 million for a pearl, all to give to that young master of the Fu family?"

He Shizhou paused in his eating, having already anticipated this topic, and without intending to deny it, he nodded.

"Yes, he likes pearls."

His clean and efficient manner only fueled He Qi's anger, and he let out a heavy "humph".

"He Shizhou, what exactly do you like about this man? You've been good for nothing all these years, and now you're liking a man? You've truly disgraced the He family. When will you learn from your brother...?"

He Shizhou had heard these words countless times, and he just pretended not to hear them. But Su Yin, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't stand it and slammed her hand on the table to retort.

"He Qi, stop comparing my son to those scoundrels. You're criticizing him now. Do you think you're so great? Did you even glance at the things he brought you for your birthday? And now you're here nagging me."

He Shizhou rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. It was the argument he had expected, and he felt helpless, a sense of irritation rising in his heart.

Just then, the phone in his pocket rang. He Shizhou picked it up; it was the landline in his house.

He stood up, walked a little distance away, and then answered the phone. Soon after, a soft voice came from the other end of the line, calling out cautiously, "He Shizhou."

For some reason, hearing the little guy's voice made the arguments seem farther away.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"He Shizhou, it's getting dark, Youyou is scared." Luo You whispered that she was scared, but didn't say "When are you coming back?"

He Shizhou glanced out the window; it was indeed dark outside. Since he started keeping a fish, he rarely came home late.

"Then wait for me, I'll be back in a bit, okay?"

"Okay, Yuyu, just wait."

The little guy's voice immediately carried a hint of joy, and He Shizhou's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

"I'm a bit far from here, so don't just stand there like an idiot at the elevator entrance... or you'll get a spanking when we get back," He Shizhou teased deliberately.

The person on the other end readily agreed, and He Shizhou hung up the phone.

He Shizhou walked back to the restaurant. The two were still arguing. He asked a servant to fetch his coat.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving now. You two enjoy your meal." After He Shizhou finished speaking, the two of them stopped and looked at him together.

He Shizhou took the coat from the servant and turned to leave.

"He Qi, it's all your fault, you stubborn old man! You've been nagging your son away."

The two started arguing again. He Linyan saw that He Shizhou hadn't gone far, so he stood up.

When He Shizhou reached his car, He Linyan, who was chasing after him, called out to him. He turned around, and He Linyan was holding a box.

"I know you don't want to hear this, but that's just how Dad is. Don't take it too hard." He Linyan handed him the box. "It's Dad's birthday, and the cake hasn't been cut yet. If you're not staying to eat it, take this piece with you."

He Shizhou glanced at the box, then reached out and took it.

"Brother, don't hold it against my mom. She's not a bad person, she's just holding a grudge."

He Linyan nodded, and He Shizhou got into the car and drove away.

When he went home, he didn't even say "Happy Birthday" because he felt like he was the root of unhappiness in the family.

He Shizhou was driving, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

He Linyan is the child of his father and his first love. When the He family broke up the couple, they didn't know that his first love was pregnant. Later, they forced him to marry his mother. But more than ten years later, before He Linyan's mother died, she sent him back to the He family.

Now, He Shizhou doesn't know whose fault it is in this family. It seems that no one is at fault, but everyone has a knot in their heart.

He Shizhou thought for a while, then forced himself to put the matter aside, because after so many years, nothing could be changed. However, He Shizhou never disliked He Linyan, and even vaguely felt that he owed him something.

Before he knew it, the car had stopped in the parking lot of his large apartment. He Shizhou carried the cake upstairs.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the room was pitch black with no lights on. A small, dark figure was not far from the elevator entrance.

He Shizhou turned on the light, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

He told the little guy not to stand at the elevator entrance to wait, so he sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Get up, the ground is cold."

Luo You obediently stood up, then suddenly pounced on He Shizhou, lightly leaped to his side, wrapped her legs around He Shizhou's waist, and hugged his neck, clinging to him like a koala.

Luo You nuzzled affectionately against He Shizhou's neck.

"He Shizhou, Youyou misses you."

He Shizhou held the cake in one hand and used the other hand to support his bottom so he wouldn't fall.

He touched the smooth, tender flesh and gently squeezed it.

"Where are your panties? Why aren't you wearing any again?"

He carried the person a few steps and, sure enough, saw the pure white underwear lying alone on the sofa.

The little bottom in my hand shifted, and a voice whispered from the side of her neck, "It's uncomfortable, Youyou doesn't like it."

He Shizhou smiled helplessly: "Then what do you like?"

"I like He Shizhou." Luo You answered immediately without hesitation.
