"Does he know about the condition of your body?"

Su Tang shook her head, a hint of pain on her face. "Not everyone can accept me looking like this."

"Tang Tang, this is not your fault, and it's not a mistake in itself. You must remember, first and foremost, you cannot despise yourself, got it?" Huo Chengyuan furrowed his brows tightly, recalling what had happened that time, he felt scared afterwards. Tang Tang had finally managed to escape from the shadows, and he couldn't let her relive that experience."

Su Tang instinctively tightened his grip on Jing Baobao's hand. He lowered his head, gazing at Jing Baobao's face, as if seeing another person through Jing Baobao.

Huo Chengyuan was about to say something, but he suddenly noticed the medicine bottle on the bedside. His eyes widened as he grabbed the bottle, "Tangtang, you took the medicine again?"

"Um, yesterday Shize and Baobao slept here."

Huo Chengyuan's knuckles holding the medicine bottle turned slightly pale. Gritting his teeth, he said to Su Tang, "Tang Tang, the side effects of this medicine are too severe. Only when it's absolutely necessary, should you consume it!"

Sutang smiled at Huo Chengyuan and replied, "Chengyuan, I understand. I have a sense of propriety."

Huo Chengyuan looked at Jing Baobao, always feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. So, he took a step forward and grasped Su Tang's shoulder. "Tangtang, once the two-year deadline is up, will you immediately leave him, do you know that? You still have me, I can..."

"Little Yellow Duck Teacher! Hao Hao wants Daddy!" Jing Bao Bao wrinkled her little face, looking pitifully.

Su Tang moved and held Jingbao to the bed, embracing him and saying in a gentle voice, "Didn't Haohao say that Daddy will work hard to earn a lot of money to support you? That's why we can't disturb him now. Daddy will be able to spend time with Haohao when he gets off work in the evening."

Jing Baobao pinched her own ear with her finger and widened her eyes. "And there's Teacher Little Yellow Duck! Give all the hair grandpas to Teacher Little Yellow Duck."

Unable to contain her laughter, Su Tang ruffled Jing Baobao's hair and said, "That's for Hao Hao!"

"That tall, handsome daddy belongs to Hao Hao, and Hao Hao wants to marry Teacher Little Duck. Daddy belongs to Teacher Little Duck, but Hao Hao still belongs to Teacher Little Duck! Hao Hao wants to make Teacher Little Duck the happiest person in the world!"

As Huo Chengyuan was speaking, he was interrupted by this little brat. He didn't think it was just an innocent remark from a child; he instinctively felt that this was a crafty little imp.

As he was thinking like that, Huo Chengyuan suddenly noticed Jing Baobao was looking at him with a smile. The more he looked, the more he felt like he deserved a beating.

Huochengyuan touched his nose and looked at Jing Baobao. "You're still a child, and he is your teacher. You cannot marry him."

Jing Baobao, upon hearing this, anxiously rubbed his eyes and then brightened up, saying, "There's a daddy! Daddy can marry Teacher Little Yellow Duck, so Haohao will have two daddies!"

"But your teacher already has someone she likes, so she won't be with your father."

"Liar... sob... Teacher Xiao Huang Ya is my daddy! Sob... I don't like you!"

Su Tang was still trying to process what Jing Baobao had just said when she was startled by the sudden sound of crying. "Xiao Hao, don't cry. Big brother was just teasing you."

"No father is cool, nor good-looking like a father, burp~ He's not my brother! Teacher Xiao Huangya is my brother, not this weird uncle burp~" Jingbaobao made a protective gesture and tightly hugged Sutang, then gave a wary glare at Huo Chengyuan.

"Alright, alright, it's Uncle Monster. Hao Hao, stop crying, your throat will feel uncomfortable." Jingbao cried so hard that he hiccoughed, and Sutang quickly patted his chest lightly to help him calm down.

Hu Chengyuan's mouth twitched, is this guy a little devil!

"Chengyuan, don't take it to heart. Hao Hao is still young."

"No, how could I argue with a child?," Huo Chengyuan forced a laugh, "So, are you planning to bring this child along?"

"Yeah, in a few days we're moving to their place, otherwise there won't be anyone to take care of Haohao."

"What!"

Huochengyuan was taken aback by Jing Baobao's dissatisfied pouting. She peered at him with a trace of resentment in her eyes and said, "Teacher Little Duck is not feeling well and needs to rest quietly."

"And what about your body...?"

Su Tang pondered for a moment, hesitantly saying, "In any case, it's only three days. By then, I'll find a reason to go back home."

"It's better to just be straightforward, or let things take their course naturally. There's nothing to hide, there's no need for you to evade."

"Alright then, after all, it has been two years."

Huochengyuan pinched Jing Baobao's chubby face and said, "This little guy looks just like you."

Su Tang smiled as she lifted Jing Baobao's chin. "Hao Hao is very cute, I really like him." However, Su Tang's expression quickly changed as she continued, "But he is not my baby."

Huò Chéngyuán was taken aback, realizing he misspoke. "Tángtáng, come to my house for lunch. I've prepared the ingredients and will cook your favorite dishes. It would be a waste if you don't come."

Su Tang nodded, this time she did not refuse. If it was just her alone, she could make do and get through it. But now, with Jing Bao Bao, she couldn't let the child go hungry.

Huo Chengyuan was about to tell Su Tang to come over right now, but then his phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it before ending the call directly. Immediately after, the phone rang again.

"What's wrong?"

"It's He Xuan."

Su Tang smirked and said, "He's still pestering you, huh? Quite persistent. Go ahead, just in case there's really something."

Huocheng Yuan nodded and walked towards the living room.

Jing Baobao blinked his eyes in confusion. Little Uncle is also called He Xuan, huh?

Huo Chengyuan came back in just a minute, looking somewhat flustered. "Tang Tang, He Xuan ran into some trouble at the bar. I'm going to find him. I'll come pick you up at noon."

Without waiting for Su Tang to speak, Huo Chengyuan rushed out, leaving Su Tang helplessly shaking her head, "He still says he doesn't like it."

"Hao Hao, would you like the teacher to take you to Uncle's house for lunch?"

Jing Baobao looked up and made a long "Hmm" sound before speaking, "Is daddy going out?"

Seeing Su Tang shaking her head, Jing Baobao also let out a long "Mmm." "Alright then." Poor Daddy!

Su Tang didn't sleep much last night, so she's feeling a bit sleepy now. Jing Baobao, being clever as always, kicks off his shoes and burrows into the blankets. "Teacher Little Yellow Duck, I've already learned everything the other teachers taught at home. Can we not go to kindergarten today? Kindergarten isn't complete without Teacher Little Yellow Duck!"

"Little clever ghost, why don't you sleep with the teacher for a while?"

Jing Baobao nodded heavily, wrapping his little arms around Su Tang and gently patting him to comfort him, which made Su Tang laugh.

Jing Baobao kept his eyes open, staring at Su Tang. When he saw that Su Tang had fallen asleep, he lifted the blanket and quietly opened the door, slipping out like a bird.

Su Tang's phone was still on the coffee table. Jing Baobao sat on the sofa and hesitated while staring at the phone for a long time. It was not right to casually use someone else's phone, but... but for Teacher Xiao Huangya! He would use it for the last time and ask Daddy to buy him one when he got home!

So Jing Baobao reached for her phone and muttered an apology to Su Tang, then grabbed it and dialed Jing Shize's number.

Given what happened last night, Jing Shize kept his phone with him all the time. At this moment, he was in a meeting. When he saw the screen of his phone light up, he immediately raised his hand to signal the staff to stop.

"Sutang?"

"Daddy, it's Hao Hao! When will daddy come home? Will daddy cook food for Teacher Little Duck to eat?"

Jing Shize stood up in confusion, and the employees below immediately became serious. "Haohao, what happened to the teacher?"

There was an uncle who said he wanted to cook for Teacher Little Yellow Duck, but Hao Hao wanted Daddy to do it instead!" Jingbao's little mouth pouted up high. He was sensitive to the fact that the strange uncle wanted to take away his Teacher Little Yellow Duck.
