Zhuo Liye spoke at the right time and interrupted the conversation between the mother and son.

He walked forward and bent down to pick up fan fan, who was pinching his ears to admit his mistake.

“Don’t forget, I was the first to discover that you had sneaked away and even helped you hide it. Otherwise, you would have been caught before you even left the airport.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zhuo.”

Fan fan thanked him gratefully.

Zhuo Liye was very satisfied.

He patted his head and whispered something into his ear before instructing the people beside him to bring fan fan upstairs to rest.

Very quickly, it was only him and Qiao yuanfei left in the living room.

“I should also apologize. It was because I did not take good care of fan fan that he got lost. It was just that the situation at that time was rather complicated. When I realized that fan fan was missing, Yu Yuehan had already found me and told me that he was the one who had taken fan fan away and that he had already let fan fan board the flight back to the country.”

Zhuo Liye walked up to Qiao Yuanfei and explained apologetically.

Qiao yuanfei shook her head. “I am already very grateful that you are willing to help me take care of Fanfan. In the end, it is my responsibility that Fanfan will return to China because he has not seen me for too long.”

Zhuo liye smiled and did not say a word to her polite words.

He did not like that she was very clear about everything with him. It was as if he would always be an outsider in her world.

They had known each other for many years, and Zhuo Liye had seen her reject too many men.

So many that he was relieved.

Whenever any man came to her, she did not seem to hesitate.

Whether it was outstanding ability, outstanding family background, or good looks… she did not want any of it.

She did not even consider it.

In the past, it was not that Zhuo Liye did not suspect that she already had someone she liked.

Otherwise, he would not have been so calm.

However, after so many years, no one had appeared by her side. In her life, there was only work and fan fan..

This made him certain that as long as he stayed by the mother and son’s side, she would fall in love with him sooner or later.

That was until he found out about fan Yu’s existence from Yu Yuehan’s mouth..

“This is not the only thing I’m apologizing for.”

Zhuo Liye’s deep gaze was filled with an indecipherable light.

He opened his mouth faintly.

“I’m very sorry for pretending to be fan fan’s father just now so that it would be convenient for me to bring fan fan out.”

“No, it’s fine… you were also trying to help me.”

Qiao yuanfei knew that he had good intentions. Even though she was very shocked back then, she could not find the words to argue with him now that he had helped her and even apologized sincerely.

After she dealt with the matters of the Qiao family, she would leave with fan fan.

It did not matter whose son fan fan was.

But it did implicate Zhuo Liye. He did not even have a girlfriend, and in order to help her, he had a son out of nowhere.

She should be the one apologizing.

“Thank you for helping me bring fan fan out. If you have time, I’ll treat you to a meal some other time.”

Qiao Yuanfei’s heart was in a mess. She chatted with Zhuo Liye for a while, and subconsciously wanted to go upstairs to bring fan fan out.

She had already planned to pick fan fan up and bring him back to the country. She had also arranged a place for fan fan to stay.

She was not staying at the Qiao’s house, but it was very close to the Qiao’s house.

With a nanny taking care of her, it was also convenient for her to go over and accompany him.

So she did not plan to Trouble Zhuo Liye anymore.

Just as she took a step forward, Zhuo Liye suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked her way.

The expression on his resolute face became a little gloomy.

“Fay, do you have to be so clear with me?”

Zhuo liye turned around and looked at her.

“We’ve known each other for so many years. I thought you should understand my feelings for you. If I didn’t express it clearly before, then I want to tell you clearly now that I like you.”
