Zhang Wen didn't expect Chen Yan to react this way. She was momentarily taken aback and frowned, saying, "Aren't you even a little surprised?"
Chen Yan kept his eyes on the road, his expression calm as he replied, "Why should I be surprised?"
Zhang Wen was momentarily speechless, caught off guard by his response. She looked at Chen Yan, who remained unflinching, his face betraying no emotion.
Furrowing her brow, she tentatively asked, "Don't you think it's strange? Liu Yuan left just a few years ago, and now she has such a big child..."
Chen Yan maintained his indifferent demeanor. "Maybe the child was conceived before her divorce."
Zhang Wen's eyes widened slightly at his words. "So you're saying you think that child could possibly be yours?"
Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged. "I didn't say that."
Zhang Wen frowned. "But didn't you just imply that?"
He shot her a glance. "What I mean is, instead of speculating here, why not ask your boyfriend?"
Zhang Wen paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. She blinked and looked at Chen Yan again; he still appeared calm, with no hint of anything unusual on his face.
She furrowed her brow again and couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, do you know something?"
Chen Yan replied flatly, "I don't know."
Zhang Wen pressed further, "Then why aren't you surprised at all?"
Chen Yan continued to focus on driving. "Why should I be surprised?"
Zhang Wen fell silent.
She bit her lip as she watched Chen Yan, who remained composed and unperturbed.
With a sigh of resignation, she felt a sense of helplessness wash over her. It seemed there was nothing more to be learned from Chen Yan. She would have to seek the answers herself.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuan took Beibei around for a while, buying her a Candy Figure and a candied hawthorn stick. Beibei held the Candy Figure in one hand and the candied hawthorn in the other, looking utterly delighted.
Seeing Beibei so happy warmed Liu Yuan's heart. She had been busy before and hadn't had much time to spend with Beibei. Now that she had time, she was determined to enjoy every moment with her daughter.
They wandered through the mall together where Liu Yuan bought Beibei several new outfits. This was the first time Beibei had gone shopping with her mother since growing up, and she was bubbling with excitement, chattering away non-stop.
Listening to Beibei's sweet little voice made Liu Yuan feel particularly joyful.
Once they returned home, Beibei dashed off to play with her new toys while Liu Yuan went back to her room to start on some crafts.
She had learned some handicrafts for a while, so she could make some simple bags. She planned to make a bag as a gift for Li Li. Beibei played with her toys for a while before running into the room.
Seeing Liu Yuan working on her crafts, she curiously approached and asked, "Mom, what are you making?"
Liu Yuan smiled and replied, "I'm making a bag."
Beibei tilted her head and looked closely, "Is it for Godmother?"
Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes."
Beibei blinked her eyes and asked, "Mom, can I make one too?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure, I'll teach you."
Beibei was extremely happy, "Okay!"
Liu Yuan took a piece of fabric, cut it into a rectangular shape, and handed it to Beibei.
Holding the fabric, Beibei mimicked Liu Yuan's actions, folding the fabric and then sewing it together with thread. Her little hands weren't very nimble, and the stitches weren't very neat, but at least she managed to sew it together.
Liu Yuan looked at the bag in Beibei's hands and smiled, "It's really beautiful."
Hearing the compliment made Beibei very proud; she placed the bag in front of Liu Yuan and said with a smile, "Mom, this is for you."
Liu Yuan smiled back and said, "Thank you, Beibei."
Beibei grinned at her, "You're welcome."
Liu Yuan affectionately patted Beibei's head and continued working on her own bag. After watching for a while, Beibei ran outside to play.
After sitting for a bit, Liu Yuan suddenly heard someone knock on the door. She got up and walked over to open it.
Outside stood Li Li, holding a bag of fruit. Upon seeing Liu Yuan, she smiled and said, "I bought some fruit to bring over for you to try."
Liu Yuan smiled back, "Thank you."
She took the fruit and placed it on the table.
Li Li walked into the room and noticed the bag on the table; her eyes lit up. "Oh, is this a new style?"
Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes, it's almost finished."
Li Li admired the bag and exclaimed, "It's so pretty!"
Liu Yuan smiled again, "I'm glad you like it."
Li Li nodded repeatedly, "Of course I like it!" She picked up the bag and couldn't help but play with it lovingly.
Beibei just came out of the room and saw Li Li, running over joyfully, "Godmother!"
Li Li immediately put down her bag, bent down, and picked up Beibei. "Oh my, Beibei, you look so beautiful today!"
Beibei was wearing a new dress that Liu Yuan had bought for her, a pink princess gown, complete with a little crown on her head, looking just like a little princess.
Hearing the compliment, Beibei giggled happily.
Li Li kissed Beibei and then noticed that Beibei was holding a bag as well. She paused for a moment and asked, "Beibei, where did you get that bag?"
Beibei raised the bag in her hand and smiled proudly, "Mommy taught me how to make it!"
Li Li looked at Liu Yuan in surprise. "You taught Beibei to make a bag?"
Liu Yuan nodded. "Yes, she wanted to make one for you, so I taught her."
Li Li felt a bit touched. "Really?"
Liu Yuan nodded again. "Yes."
Li Li hugged Beibei tightly and gave her a big kiss. "Beibei is so good!"
Beibei giggled again.
Li Li played with Beibei for a while before leaving. Liu Yuan wrapped up the finished bag, planning to give it to Li Li another day.
Meanwhile, Chen Yan sat in his office, looking at documents with a furrowed brow.
Luo Ming stood in front of him and placed a stack of papers on his desk. "Manager Chen, these are the documents that need your signature."
Chen Yan didn’t look up. "Just leave them there."
Luo Ming acknowledged him and turned to leave.
As Chen Yan flipped through the documents, his frown deepened.
Luo Ming stood by the door, peering through the glass at Chen Yan and frowned slightly. It seemed like Chen Yan was not in a good mood today. After hesitating for a moment, he turned and left.
After staring at the documents for a while, Chen Yan suddenly lifted his head and called out, "Luo Ming!"
Hearing his name, Luo Ming quickly pushed the door open and entered. "Manager Chen, what’s wrong?"
Chen Yan looked at him and after a moment of silence said, "Can you help me check on Liu Yuan's recent situation?"
Luo Ming was taken aback. "Huh?" He thought he had misheard. Was Chen Yan actually asking him to check on Liu Yuan? Hadn’t they already divorced?
Chen Yan saw Luo Ming standing there motionless and frowned, "What's wrong? Didn't you hear me?"
Luo Ming came to his senses and quickly replied, "I heard, I heard! I'm going right now!" He finished speaking and hurriedly turned to leave.
Chen Yan watched his retreating figure, narrowing his eyes.
Luo Ming was efficient; by the next day, he had gathered all the information about Liu Yuan. He placed a file in front of Chen Yan and smiled, "Manager Chen, here’s the information you requested."
Chen Yan picked it up and glanced at it. The report indicated that Liu Yuan had left three years ago for Beishi. She opened a clothing store there, which had now expanded into three chain stores, generating substantial income.
Luo Ming looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "Miss Xie is doing quite well now; her career is thriving."
Chen Yan studied the document in silence.
Noticing Chen Yan's lack of response, Luo Ming hesitated before adding, "However, there's something a bit strange."
Chen Yan lifted his head to look at him. "What is it?"
Luo Ming furrowed his brow. "It seems Miss Xie has a child."
At this, Chen Yan paused his movements. "A child?"
Luo Ming nodded. "It's said the child is already over three years old."
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes. "Over three years old?"
Luo Ming confirmed, "Yes." He paused before continuing, "I found out that Miss Xie's child was born in the second year after she left."
Chen Yan frowned. "So she was already pregnant before she left?"
Luo Ming nodded. "That seems to be the case."
Chen Yan's expression darkened as he remained silent.
Luo Ming glanced at him and hesitantly asked, "Manager Chen, do you want me to continue investigating?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Yan shook his head. "No need."
Luo Ming acknowledged and turned to leave.
