eeming to dislike the taste.“Putting the cup down, I continued, “My reasons don’t hinder our current united front. I told you my identity and that proves I want to fully cooperate with you.”If you don...The night owl's black eyes narrowed slightly. He looked down at her, his voice low, "You know"

Lin Jinran's breath caught. The rhetorical question in those four words indicated that he had known about their child from the very beginning, yet he had kept it a secret from her!

For a moment, she had too many questions, too many problems, and too many tangled thoughts.

At this moment, Lin Jinran suppressed all these questions, nothing was a problem. There was only one thought in his heart, "Yes, I understand, I know where he is, I want to see him!"

The night owl's expression was calm, his long fingers gently smoothing Lin Jinran's hair. His magnetically pleasing voice was soft as he said, "Your clothes are all wet, change into a fresh set first, or you might catch a cold."

Lin Jinran lightly furrowed her brows, a hint of realization in her eyes. She tightened her grip on her collar and deliberately pulled it in her direction, once again reiterating her request, "I want to see him!"

The distance between the two people shrank to almost the length of a finger as Lin Jinran moved. Ye Xiao smelled her sweet scent, and his black eyes involuntarily fell onto Lin Jinran's cherry lips.

It seemed as if just a little further, he could taste the sweetness. His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

However, the most important thing right now is to fulfill Lin Jinyan's request. Ye Xiao’s lingering gaze left her cherry lips and looked at the confusion in her glazed eyes with indifference, “He isn’t here right now.”

"Where is he" Lin Jinran asked persistently, "Tell me, let me see him."

The Night Owl still didn't answer, "Jinyan, take care of your health first. I'll tell you about his business slowly later."

At these words, Lin Jinyan's eyes darkened. She loosened her grip on the collar of her shirt and questioned him, "Don't you want me to see him"

"Now, it's not the right time." Night Owl confirmed her thoughts.

He really didn't want her to see Fu Tianze now. The reason behind it couldn't be revealed to Lin Jinyan for the time being. Sometimes, not knowing the truth is the greatest protection.

Lin Jin-tan, kept in the dark, only uttered that single sentence: "Now is not the time."

His hands, clenched tightly, slowly relaxed. Lin Jinran shook his head in disbelief, his delicate features etched with resistance and coldness. He choked out, "Ye Xiao, you are so ruthless!"

Tears streamed from her eyes like beads, tracing paths across her pale face. Lin Jinran's heart ached with unbearable pain. She had come back just to see her child, but he was preventing them from meeting!

"Be well." The Night Owl held her face in both hands, gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips. His heart ached with pain, yet he couldn't show it, "Take care of your health first."

"I'm fine now, Ye Xiao. Let me see him, I'm his mother~" The last sentence came out of Lin Jinran's mouth almost as a sob.

Since learning about her child, she's been searching tirelessly. Finally, she learned the truth and longed to return to her child's side. All she wanted was to see her child and make up for the shortcomings of being a mother who wasn't there.

Ye Xiao was afraid that the overwhelming emotions of the encroaching darkness would affect her child. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, whispering softly, "Our child is doing well now. We'll visit him again when you've recovered."

Lin Jinran cried in gasps, not wanting to hear his words. Her mind was filled with only one thought: he wouldn't let her see him!

Since he couldn't see the real person, Lin Jinran's red and swollen eyes looked hopefully at Ye Xiao, and she choked out, "Can I have a picture Let me see his picture. What does he look like"an smiled wryly, ignoring them.Last time it was for the sake of freedom that we took such risks.Now, she can't possibly do it anymore.She now wants a healthy body more than ever, to leave this place a...
