Yan Yu couldn’t believe what she had just heard. This man actually had a thing for married women.
Ugh… How was anyone even supposed to react to that?
“Doctor Yan, why aren’t you saying anything?” Jing Mocong’s gaze settled on her face. Seeing that she seemed completely lost in thought, he couldn’t help feeling a little displeased.
“Ahem.” Yan Yu forced herself to speak. “Mr. Jing, about this… legally, you’re not breaking any laws. But morally… you’re beyond redemption.”
Standing there made her feel uncomfortable all over. She desperately wanted to run away. She had absolutely no interest in learning the richest man’s shameful secret, nor did she want to become his next target.
Hearing Yan Yu condemn him on moral grounds, disappointment filled Jing Mocong’s heart.
It seemed he really had no chance.
“Then tell me, how can I change this condition?” Jing Mocong asked gloomily. “She’s the only one who can make me feel desire. As for other women… I don’t even want to touch them.”
“Mr. Jing, I specialize in treating sleep disorders. I have no experience with psychological cases like yours. You’ll have to find someone more qualified.”
Yan Yu truly didn’t want to hear another word from him.
What did he mean by ‘I don’t even want to touch other women’?
Then why had he touched her back then?
Didn’t she count as a woman?
Yan Yu reminded herself not to get angry over something so trivial. Staying as far away as possible from this morally bankrupt lunatic was the right choice.
“Alright. If you ever think of a solution, remember to let me know.”
Jing Mocong gradually gave up hope and no longer wanted to keep pestering her.
The moment Yan Yu realized he had finally stopped talking, she was overjoyed. She turned around, hurried out of the study, and slammed the door shut behind her.
“So scary. I’d better cure Old Madam Shi’s regret as quickly as possible,” Yan Yu muttered softly outside the door, patting her chest.
“Doctor Yan, I’ll drive you.”
Jing Mocong’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
Startled, Yan Yu instinctively shuddered. She turned around and stared at him as though she had seen a ghost.
“No need.”
“Come on. I’ll drive you this time. I won’t do it next time.”
Yan Yu had been about to refuse, but the moment she heard those words, she immediately agreed.
Jing Mocong drove her himself with a stern expression.
The entire trip passed in silence.
Yan Yu didn’t dare provoke him and remained quiet as well, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
It wasn’t until the sports car stopped in front of Yiyu Flower Shop that Yan Yu was stunned.
How did he know she was coming here?
“Yan…”
“Mr. Jing, thank you for driving me. Drive safely!”
Yan Yu interrupted him before he could finish. She opened the car door, got out in one smooth motion, and walked straight into Yiyu Flower Shop without looking back.
Watching her retreating figure, Jing Mocong ground his teeth unwillingly.
“If I dream about you again, I’ll be a damn dog!”
“Little Yu, I saw it.”
Yan Yu hurried into the flower shop as though a ghost were chasing her.
As a result, Qiao Zi suddenly appeared in front of her like a ghost herself, startling Yan Yu so badly that she nearly screamed.
Forcing the scream back down her throat, Yan Yu looked at her best friend helplessly.
“Qiaoqiao, you scared me to death.”
Qiao Zi smiled teasingly.
“What guilty thing did you do?”
“Nothing!” Yan Yu took a deep breath to calm herself. “By the way, what did you mean when you said you saw it? What exactly did you see?”
“I saw Shengjing’s richest man, Jing Mocong, driving you back.”
Qiao Zi looked Yan Yu up and down with a playful grin. Her face was even more beautiful than the flowers around her.
“Tell me honestly. Those two children… are they his?”
“Where are Yaoyao and Junjun?”
Instead of answering, Yan Yu asked where the children were.
Qiao Zi led her to the storage room and pointed inside.
“They got tired from playing, so I let them sleep on the little bed.”
Whenever Qiao Zi felt tired, she usually took her afternoon naps on that small bed in the storage room.
Now it had been completely occupied by the two little ones.
Yan Yu looked at their adorable sleeping faces and nodded. Then she sat down beside Qiao Zi and softly answered her earlier question.
“When you showed me the newspaper, I didn’t believe that the man from back then was actually Shengjing’s richest man. But when I went to make a house call this time, the patient turned out to be his grandmother. That’s why he drove me back.”
“You two are way too fated.”
Qiao Zi gasped quietly before smiling.
“Does he know about the children yet?”
“He doesn’t.”
Thinking about Jing Mocong’s current state, Yan Yu couldn’t help wrinkling her nose.
“I don’t want the children to know.”
“Why not? Let him know so he can take responsibility for you and the kids. That’ll make life easier for you too. Sure, your current salary is enough to support both children, but raising kids is still exhausting.”
Qiao Zi did her best to persuade Yan Yu to let the children acknowledge their father.
Left with no choice, Yan Yu leaned over and whispered everything that had happened during Jing Mocong’s consultation into Qiao Zi’s ear.
After hearing the whole story, Qiao Zi remained stunned for quite a while before finally recovering.
“Then they definitely shouldn’t acknowledge him.”
“The way he is, Yaoyao and Junjun would definitely look down on him.”
“With a father like that, they wouldn’t even be able to hold their heads up in kindergarten.”
Wasn’t that true?
Yaoyao and Junjun were so popular at kindergarten.
If everyone found out their father wanted to be the other man in someone else’s marriage, the other children would definitely point fingers at them until they cried.
Just imagining the scene made Yan Yu shudder.
The two adults were so engrossed in their conversation that they never noticed the two children on the little bed had actually woken up long ago.
As soon as Yan Yu and Qiao Zi left to help a customer choose and wrap flowers, the two little heads quickly leaned together.
“Big Sis, we guessed right. This really is our Daddy.”
Yan Shijun pulled the newspaper out from underneath him and pointed his tiny finger at the man’s photograph printed on it.
He had discovered the newspaper by accident while playing in the flower shop.
The man in the photo looked so much like him.
Big Sis looked like Mommy.
That meant he had to resemble Daddy.
Now they had undeniable proof.
“Mommy admitted it herself just now. This person is our Daddy.”
Yan Shiyao gently touched her younger brother’s face and smiled.
“Little Brother, you really, really look like Daddy.”
Yan Shijun was delighted to hear that, but soon his brows furrowed again.
“But why doesn’t Mommy want us to acknowledge Daddy?”
Yan Shiyao answered, “Because Mommy is worried we’ll dislike Daddy. Little Brother, do you dislike Daddy?”
Yan Shijun shook his head.
“I don’t. Even though we’ve been very happy with Mommy without Daddy, having Daddy wouldn’t be bad either.”
“I think so too.”
Yan Shiyao nodded.
“Mommy really underestimates us. We’re good children. We would never dislike Daddy. Our teacher even taught us that a dog never abandons its poor home, and a child never despises their ugly Daddy.”
Yan Shijun blinked.
“Big Sis, didn’t the teacher say, ‘A dog never abandons its poor home, and a child never despises their ugly mother’?”
“Oh, we have to be flexible.”
Yan Shiyao spoke confidently.
“‘Mother’ means Mommy, and ‘father’ means Daddy. Right now we’re talking about whether we’d dislike Daddy.”
“Oh.”
Yan Shijun nodded.
“I don’t dislike Daddy. Should we go find him?”
“But how?” Yan Shiyao asked. “We don’t even know where Daddy lives.”
“If even you don’t know, Big Sis, then I definitely don’t know. What should we do?”
Yan Shiyao thought for a moment before saying,
“We’ll think of a way.”
