The Child Is Innocent

"Sorry, I went to have coffee with Yuxuan this afternoon and didn't go to the company to wait for you," Yiren said to him.

"It doesn't matter," Ji Minze said with a complicated look in his eyes.

"I'm a bit tired and want to go up and rest first," Yiren said, her words having a double meaning. Her heart was tired, and she didn't want to move. So she didn't even bother to run away. "Did you go to see the child today?" When she reached the stairs, she suddenly stopped and asked.

Ji Minze remained silent.

"Go and see the child. The child is innocent," Yiren said these words and then went upstairs. She wanted to take a shower and rest.

Ji Minze appeared at the hospital. He came to see them, the mother and son! Just as Yiren said, the child was innocent.

In the hospital room, there were only Tang Lei, Ji Minze, and the baby who was just three days old.

The child looked very much like Ji Minze. The only difference was that there were two dimples on the little face. At the moment, the child was sucking hard on the milk bottle. Because he was dissatisfied with not getting enough milk, his two little pink fists were waving in the air in dissatisfaction.

Ji Minze showed a gentle smile. Perhaps it was the natural bond between father and son. Even though the arrival of this child wasn't his wish, when he saw the child, he still felt a sense of closeness.

"I'll take the child to the UK," Tang Lei said softly to Ji Minze from the hospital bed. She wanted his child, but she never thought of using the child to blackmail him.

Ji Minze looked up at Tang Lei.

"What can I do for you two?" he asked calmly.

"Can you be with us?" Tang Lei asked, half - seriously. If he really wanted to do something for them, the mother and son, then he should choose to be with them.

"Except for being with you and the child," Ji Minze turned his head to look at the child and said. This time, he refused firmly. Even though they now had a child together, the child wasn't a bargaining chip.

"Then there's no need. I have the ability to take good care of the baby myself," Tang Lei said with a bitter smile. "Please tell Yiren that I'm sorry."

She was sorry for making the decision on her own to give birth to the child she had with Ji Minze. She knew that Yiren would be very sad when she found out the truth because this was something that an ordinary woman couldn't bear. So she was sorry that she had hurt her for her own sake.

But she didn't mean to make things difficult for her!

"She will understand," Ji Minze said, a trace of barely noticeable pity flashing in his eyes. Yiren didn't run away like before. She was facing it bravely and was so calm that it made him feel distressed.

She didn't say a single word of accusation in front of him. Even the look in her eyes didn't show any blame. There was only an unusual calmness, which wasn't the emotion she should have at this moment, but it was so obvious.

Now he would rather she cry out loud, scold him for being a jerk, or even give him a good beating. She had the ability to do that! But she didn't. She didn't do anything. It was as if everything that was happening had nothing to do with her, and she was just an outsider.

"After all, she is stronger and calmer than me. You'd better go back and don't come to see the child again. I won't tell him that you're his father. Let's just pretend that we've never known each other and that nothing has happened," Tang Lei said calmly and a bit coldly. She had already decided to go back to the UK with George, where she could forget everything!

"Tang Lei!" Ji Minze wanted to say something, but Tang Lei interrupted him.

"Don't call me. I don't want to see you again in the future, and I won't love you anymore. We won't have any more issues. Even if we're unlucky enough to meet on the street in the future, I'll just pretend not to see you and walk past. You don't have to greet me either. From now on, you are you, and I am me. We have nothing to do with each other. You can go," Tang Lei said excitedly.

Ji Minze looked at her. After a while, he said to her, "I'll go first. I'll come to see you and the child again when you've calmed down." Ji Minze looked at the child again and then turned towards the door.

"Don't come again. The matters of me and my child have nothing to do with you," Tang Lei still said firmly.

Ji Minze paused for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything and opened the door and walked out.

Tang Lei sat on the bed. Without the arrogance and domineering attitude she had before, she revealed the true nature of a vulnerable girl. She knew that she couldn't have him, let alone his heart. So before leaving, she wanted to make herself into a bad woman, so that Ji Minze wouldn't feel so guilty towards her.

The child started crying softly, which stabbed at Tang Lei's heart. The child was very sensitive. He could clearly feel the sad atmosphere around him, but he didn't know how to express this sadness, so he expressed it by crying. Tang Rui came in, picked up the baby, and comforted him. The child cried until he was tired and then fell asleep.

Tang Rui looked at Tang Lei, her eyes filled with worried concern.

"I'm fine," Tang Lei said. "I want to go to the UK tomorrow. Can you help me prepare? Don't notify the Ji family. We have no relationship with them now."

"Okay," Tang Rui nodded. All she could do was to make her sister feel less sad.

Dear friends, please don't take sides between Yiren and Tang Lei.

Love itself is not wrong.

Whether I love him or not is my own business, and whether he loves me or not is his business.

The child is even more innocent!

Tang Lei's final choice will give the child a complete home,

Because the child won't know the truth. Maybe it will be when he grows up and becomes an adult that he will find out!
