Seven years old? That wasn't around the time she broke up with Zhiwen...
Sure enough, Meng Ruiyun tensed up. She forced a smile and asked, "The child's surname is Ye, so your husband's surname is also Ye?"
No, that's not it.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, concealing the deep smile in her eyes, then deliberately sighed and glanced at the bewildered Du Zhiwen beside her, before speaking in a slow, deliberate manner that could drive even a saint mad: "There's a reason the child takes my surname. Because he couldn't be by my side when I gave birth, so... sigh... sigh..."
"So what?" Meng Ruiyun was so anxious that she couldn't even keep up her smile.
"Ruiyun." Du Zhiwen was about to correct his wife's lapse in composure, but after glancing at Ye Zi and seeing the sly smile playing on her lips, he suddenly realized what was going on. He then fell silent and gave a knowing smile to himself.
"So, out of consideration for my hard work, he decided to let our son take my surname, Ye, and be named after him." Good heavens, would she get a beating if she laughed now? But she really wanted to laugh—
"you!"
This unexpected ending truly surprised Meng Ruiyun, but the shrewd woman quickly realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh, "You tricked me!"
"No way!" Would playing innocent get you a better outcome?
The two women stared at each other for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying themselves, while the only man elegantly and politely shook his head with a slight smile…

Chapter Eight: A Night of Deep Affection Author: Mo Xian
"Auntie, I'm here to see my mommy, can you help me?"
Wearing a snow-white collared cotton-padded shirt and navy blue suspender capri pants, Ye Pei was so beautiful that he looked like a foreign prince who had stepped out of a fairy tale. As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the Oni Building, he attracted countless amazed glances.
At this moment, he was grinning foolishly, planning to use his good looks to get through the test smoothly.
"Wow, so cute!"
Two beautiful saleswomen immediately rushed out, overwhelmed with maternal instincts, and touched his little face and patted his little head, completely captivated by his beauty.
"Idiot!" he thought to himself, but still managed a smile to hide the impatience in his blue eyes.
"Wow, she's mixed race!"
Idiot, haven't you ever seen a mixed-race person before? And have they had enough of touching them?
Ye Pei had already started tapping his foot impatiently.
"Auntie, could you please help me find my mommy? My lunchbox is getting cold," he said politely.
"Okay, okay, what's your mommy's name? Which department does she work in...?" Sigh, what a sweet child, it's a pity she's not my own.
"My mommy's name is Fengzi," he said so "naively." Well, given how quickly gossip spreads, that person probably wouldn't know for long!
"Oh, Feng Zi... Feng—Zi—" The saleswoman's eyes widened suddenly. Could it be... that Feng Zi? She has a son! Isn't she unmarried? Didn't the assistant on the 25th floor say that the vice president was pursuing her?
This is the hottest gossip of the week!
"Oh, little brother, do you know what your mommy does for a living?" they asked expectantly.
“My mommy works as a special administrative assistant on the 25th floor,” he answered seriously. In reality, he was so bored he was about to yawn.
Bingo! The 25th floor, isn't that the vice president's territory? And the elegance there is truly unique, there's no other branch like it.
Almost instantly, one receptionist led Ye Pei to the elevator, while the other made a phone call... to exchange information.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a large foot reached in, followed by a man with a silly grin on his face who then squeezed in as well.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" The man with the silly grin was Fang Weiyang, who had skipped work to buy noodles for his future wife.
He looked down at the intact takeout and the snacks his wife had suddenly wanted, and finally smiled with satisfaction again.
After comparing the real person with the information, Ye Pei had to admit that the man in the information who was once too gloomy and cold and the man in front of him who was smiling like a fool were indeed the same person.
But... isn't that just too... lame?
How could someone so stupid still manage to fool his lively and lovely mother! Sigh, that's just how women are... But, oh well, look at the pile of preserved plums and candied fruit he bought. I guess it's for his mother to enjoy. Even though she's a bit slow, she found someone who loves her. It's alright, though.
"Hey kid, are you looking for someone here?"
After checking his belongings, Fang Weiyang noticed a strikingly handsome little boy in the elevator, and a wave of kindness washed over him.
"Yes, I've come to see my mommy." His beautiful blue eyes lowered slightly, and a wicked smile flashed across his lips before his upturned face was full of innocence.
"Big brother, do you work here too?"
Big brother?
Although he is a mature man nearing thirty, old enough to be the kid's father, he can't deny that being called "big brother" really pleases him.
Fang Weiyang grinned and said, "Does your mommy also work on the 25th floor? Maybe big brother knows her."
All twenty-five employees were under his command, totaling thirty-five people. They were divided into four departments: data, planning, supervision, and strategy. There were twelve secretaries alone, averaging three secretaries for every four employees (excluding Fengzi and her personal assistant). So while he couldn't guarantee he was very familiar with them, he certainly recognized them.
Big brother?! He dared to call me that, and I'm amazed he even dared to answer!
