Bai Qi had no choice but to get into Zhou Yao’s car with Zhou Sileng.
The three of them did not speak along the way. Zhou Sileng wanted to speak, but he did not dare. He could clearly feel that his words at the dining table had thoroughly angered his father. He was certain that if he dared to say another word, his father’s slap would definitely land on his butt.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, Zhou Sileng got out of the car. Bai Qi walked him to the main entrance. The kindergarten teacher was there to pick him up. Zhou Sileng waved, “Bai Qi, I’m going to school.”
Bai Qi also waved her hand. She gently reminded him, “Sileng, you have to listen to the teacher and behave yourself.”
“Mmm,” Zhou Sileng skipped into the classroom.
The little guy disappeared from her sight. Bai Qi was still in a daze. To be able to send her son to school like this, she felt very happy.
At this moment, a low and masculine voice sounded from behind her, “Our son has already left, what are you still looking at? In the future, you can see him anytime you want.”
Bai Qi turned around and looked at the man in the driver’s seat. At this moment, Zhou Yao had one hand on the steering wheel. He slightly leaned over and stuck his head out to look at her. His narrow eyes were bright and gentle.
Bai Qi snorted and turned around to leave.
Zhou Yao quickly started the car and slowly followed behind her. “What’s wrong? Are you angry? Quickly get in the car.”
Bai Qi walked on her own path and ignored him.
Zhou Yao frowned. He knew that his son’s words at the dining table had angered her. He opened his mouth to explain, “Don’t listen to Sileng’s nonsense. You can’t take a child’s words seriously. I’ve already tried very hard to be a good father. If I really didn’t treat him well, then how did he grow up? As for… the matter of me picking up girls, it’s completely made up…”
“Alright, stop saying that. I don’t believe everything Sileng says. I only believe what I see. I can find out how many girlfriends you’ve had from entertainment magazines. Just from what I’ve seen, you’ve already slept with that Liu Chengcheng twice. You’ve also slept with that Yang Lin, right? I think you’ve slept with a woman so much that you’ve forgotten your own son. Oh right, when we first met, you asked me to take off my clothes. You even tried to rape me in the kitchen. General Zhou, stop quibbling. I don’t want to listen to your explanation at all,” Bai Qi said coldly.
Zhou Yao knew that this matter had gotten out of hand. He could not clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. The meeting between him and her could not be considered good. It was simply… very bad.
In the past few years, his infamous reputation had spread far and wide. Even his own mother could not help but sigh over this matter. He had never explained it to anyone. She had indeed seen him and Liu Chengcheng in the hotel together twice. On the night when Sileng was sick, she had misunderstood him and Yang Lin. At that time, he had only said one thing, “You’re jealous that I’m not sleeping with you…”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yao wished he could slap himself twice. No matter how loving a couple might be, no woman could tolerate a man like him, right?
He looked at Bai Qi’s slender and beautiful back, and his heart felt soft and painful. He could understand her, he could understand all her resentment and grievances. To give birth to Sileng, she had not hesitated to cut open her stomach. She had almost lost her life four years ago. In her last moment, she hoped that he would be a good father, but he did not do it well at all.
Zhou Yao needed time to have a good talk with her but now was obviously not the right time. He could only change the topic. “Honey, get in the car. We still have business to do. I’ll take you to see doctor Zhou.”
Doctor Zhou?
Bai Qi stopped. She turned to look at Zhou Yao. She saw her ordinary and unfamiliar face in the man’s bright eyes.
…
In the hospital.
The assistant opened the door to the office. Bai Qi was led into the office by Zhou Yao.
The office was very spacious. The floor was covered with a soft carpet. There were a few plants by the window. The beautiful morning light spilled in, making the office comfortable and warm.
A handsome man in a white coat was sitting on the office chair. Zhou Dayuan’s two fair and beautiful hands were typing rapidly on the keyboard. He was face timing with a foreign medical professor.
Seeing that the two of them had arrived, he smiled apologetically. Then, he said goodbye and turned off the video. He got up and said, “General Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Hello.”
He extended his hand to Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao shook his hand and then looked at Bai Qi. “Doctor Zhou, I’ve already told you the details on the phone. I need you to help me confirm if she went through plastic surgery, a disguise, or something else.”
Zhou Dayuan nodded. “Understood.”
Zhou Yao looked at Bai Qi again, then he spread his long legs and left the office.
“Mrs. Zhou, come, sit here.” Zhou Dayuan politely pointed at the rattan chair.
“Okay.” Bai Qi looked out of the door. Zhou Yao didn’t go far. He was leaning against the door frame with his back turned to her. She looked away and sat on the rattan chair.
Zhou Dayuan walked over and asked with a smile, “Mrs. Zhou, are you nervous?”
Bai Qi shook her head. “I’m not nervous. Actually… I’m already used to this face.”
Zhou Dayuan reached out and touched her forehead. He smiled warmly. “Is that so?”
“Doctor Zhou doesn’t think so?”
Zhou Dayuan raised his eyebrows. “When you looked at General Zhou just now, I thought you were nervous. You’re nervous about this face because you think General Zhou is nervous about your face.”
Bai Qi stopped talking. This seemingly gentle doctor Zhou had seen through her thoughts. She was indeed nervous. No matter how beautiful or ugly this face was, it was not hers.
Moreover, to Zhou Yao, she had become ugly. He had been in his prime for the past four years, and she… she felt that she did not deserve to be with him now.
Although he did not say it out loud, what man would not like beautiful women? She clearly remembered how he despised her current face in the past. One time, he even asked her to look at herself in the mirror.
Bai Qi lowered her eyes due to sadness.
Zhou Dayuan carefully touched her cheekbones and sideburns. At this time, the doctor’s phone rang.
“Sorry.” He apologized and then took out his phone. When he saw the number on the phone, the man’s whole face was filled with tenderness. “Hello, honey…”
Zhou Dayuan didn’t go far, so Bai Qi could clearly hear the voice coming from the other end. It was Jian Han. The woman’s voice was very delicate, like a feather. “Hello, honey. My goodness, I woke up late again today. The key is that I can’t find my socks…”
“Honey, I put your socks in the drawer. If you wake up late, don’t go to the studio. Today, you can take our son out shopping. Also, I made breakfast. Just microwave it for five minutes.”
