As the three of them entered the restaurant, they found a seat by the window and sat down.
Tang Baijin expertly ordered dishes, all favorites of the mother and daughter.
Bei Ran still had a warm place in her heart; although she had missed her chance with Tang Baijin, being able to sit together and dine was a rare happiness in life.
Bei Xiaoyu was eating with her hands, holding onto the bones. After she finished eating, Bei Ran wanted to take her to wash her hands.
Tang Baijin said, "You keep eating, I’ll take her to wash her hands."
Tang Baijin and Bei Xiaoyu went to wash their hands together, and at this mont Gu Qingchen happened to be dining at the restaurant and saw Tang Baijin and Bei Xiaoyu together again!
"Great Doctor..." Bei Xiaoyu called out, her hands still covered in soap bubbles.
"Bei Xiaoyu..." Gu Qingchen also ca over to wash his hands, nodding to her.
Tang Baijin hadn’t expected them to know each other, as he was washing Bei Xiaoyu’s hands, his own also covered in bubbles. After cleaning her hands, he was face-to-face with Gu Qingchen at the sa eye level.
As Tang Baijin left, he provocatively remarked, "Great Doctor Gu knows my daughter..."
His daughter? Is this Tang Baijin’s daughter?
All these years Tang Baijin had practically no scandals, his devotion reserved for a woman nad Bei Ran!
"Bei Xiaoyu, go eat with Mom first. I’ll co over after I finish in the restroom!" Tang Baijin lovingly patted Bei Xiaoyu’s head.
"Okay, goodbye Great Doctor!" Bei Xiaoyu said goodbye to Gu Qingchen politely.
After Bei Xiaoyu left the hand-washing area, Tang Baijin, looking at the grim-faced Gu Qingchen, believed that Gu Qingchen must have heard what Bei Xiaoyu’s last na was.
Yes, Gu Qingchen had heard.
Bei Xiaoyu’s surna was Bei, and so was Bei Ran’s!
That is to say, there was a very high probability that Bei Xiaoyu was Bei Ran’s daughter, the daughter of Tang Baijin and Bei Ran!
At this mont Tang Baijin took out an ID card from his wallet, "This is Xiaoyu’s ID card."
As all the visa application and such were handled by him, he kept her ID card.
Tang Baijin knew that Gu Qingchen had begun to suspect, so what he had to do was show the evidence directly to Gu Qingchen. After all, even though Bei Ran had been married to him for four years, Bei Xiaoyu was already five years old!
Gu Qingchen’s face was cold and impassive, he did not take the ID card, but he had already seen the na, age, and address on it; the address was where he had visited to treat Bei Ran that day.
Gu Qingchen felt as if there was a huge gash in his heart, savagely torn open.
Four years of marriage, with an unspoken understanding, nobody ntioned past events.
No wonder Bei Ran disliked Tang Baijin’s investigations; because she had a daughter.
He never asked, and so she never told.
It was supposed to be just a marriage of convenience, to live in peace, to co together and part amicably, but why, wondered Gu Qingchen, did his heart hurt so much.
Gu Qingchen left with large strides, and as he walked out, he saw Bei Ran and Bei Xiaoyu sitting together, the mother and daughter chatting and laughing as they ate.
Only after Gu Qingchen’s figure had disappeared from the entrance of the restaurant did Tang Baijin return to join them for the al.
Feeling the fatigue from the long flight, Bei Xiaoyu beca drowsy after the al, so Tang Baijin took both mother and daughter back ho.
After Bei Ran helped her daughter to bed, she went to rest as well.
Suddenly, she heard the urgent ringing of the doorbell.
From the peephole, Bei Ran saw Gu Qingchen had co, which she found strange. As soon as she opened the door, before she had a chance to speak, Gu Qingchen pressed her against the door with one hand.
"Bei Ran—" Gu Qingchen called her na softly.
"What’s wrong?" Bei Ran noticed sothing off, "Qingchen, what happened?"
"You’re asking what happened?" Gu Qingchen rebuked in a deep voice, "Are you together with Tang Baijin now? Are you happy now, are you pleased? Was all the love you spoke of before just lies, isn’t that right?"
Bei Ran wasn’t with anyone at the mont, gazing into Gu Qingchen’s eyes, "The words I’ve said, I’ve said with a clear conscience!"
"With a clear conscience?" Gu Qingchen stared back at her: "Then tell , where did the hundred thousand you get every month go to?"
Bei Ran’s heart skipped, "That was just part of our agreent, I don’t need to tell you these things!"
"You’re so smart, of course, you won’t tell. I’ve been giving you money every month to raise soone else’s child!" Gu Qingchen yelled out of control.
Bei Ran’s heart ached instantly; so, he cared about these things too.
Indeed, which man wouldn’t mind paying to raise soone else’s child!
