He Yi was strictly on guard that Yi Liangze might make up a reason during the meal to leave the seat to pay the bill discreetly because she genuinely wanted to treat him to a meal.
After they drank for a while, she left the seat by the excuse of going to the washroom to touch up her makeup.
He Yi took a few steps when she could vaguely sense a pair of eyes following her. She stopped and captured the stalker with her sharp sixth sense.
It was a young boy around five years old. He had pinkish delicate cheeks, dark round eyes, and long thick brush-like lashes. Realizing that he was caught, a hint of panic flashed past the boy’s eyes before he acted casually. He was wearing hyped streetwear that seemed to be children’s clothing from international luxury brands.
‘Hm? Whose child is this?’ He Yi’s heart throbbed and she became gentle and motherly in an instant. She always had a fondness for kids that particular age maybe because she was a mother, especially beautiful children like the boy. He even looked similar to
He Yi was surprised to realize that not only the eyes, but even the boy’s features were also exactly the same as Wan Wan’s, the only difference between them was their gender. She paused and wanted to take a closer when he turned and ran like a playful bunny.
He Yi searched for the boy to no avail. What happened was like a dream to her. She patted her own forehead and questioned herself whether she missed Wan Wan so much that every kid looked similar to her!
He Yi shook her head before walking to the cashier to pay the bill.
The pretty receptionist gave her a blooming smile. “Our manager said that Young Master Yi hardly brings women for a meal so this meal is on her!”
He Yi was speechless. ‘Why is it so hard to pay a bill?’ She regained herself and asked, “Can I know who is your manager?”
“Her surname is Yu.” The receptionist gave her a name card courteously.
He Yi accepted the card and looked. ‘Yu Shujun?’

He Yi did not know who that was so the free meal had to be for Yi Liangze, not her. Therefore, the meal was still on Yi Liangze.
She wanted to return him a favor yet she now owed him another one.
He Yi shook her head at herself. She was going to return to her seat and she saw an elegant young woman nodding her head to her as a greeting.
The woman looked around 30 years old. She had some light makeup on and she wore sophisticated clothing. She was just standing there silently with a smile, yet she was a sight for the whole room.
‘What a beauty!’ He Yi was stunned before realizing that she was Yu Shujun, the owner of the restaurant.
Yu Shujun was not alone. There was a beautiful child standing beside her, it was the boy that He Yi saw earlier.
She decided to go to her to thank for the meal. Besides, the boy who looked similar to Wan Wan was inducing her to go forward to find out more. She walked over and greeted Yu Shujun with a smile. “Hello, Miss Yu! How can I let you buy us a meal when we don’t know each other?”
Yu Shujun looked reserved but she was actually pretty straightforward. “I did it for Liangze. Just be gratuitous to him, not me. By the way, don’t be a stranger, you’re brought here by Liangze anyway. Just call me Yu.”
Her tone was serious although she put on a warm, light, smile akin to spring breeze. He Yi was frustrated but she could only smile in acknowledgment. Then, she turned to the boy standing beside Yu Shujun. “What an adorable boy! What’s his name?”
He Yi bent over to check on him. She could not help but pinch his delicate cheeks.
The boy gave a shy smile and hid near Yu Shujun. He was clearly close with her, she might be his mother.
“Answer her, what’s your name?” Yu Shujun caressed the boy’s head lovingly.
His sweet smile was demure when he answered softly, “My name is Bao Bao.”
‘Bao Bao.’ He Yi’s heart became even more tender. She crouched and asked him in all seriousness, “How old are you?”
Bao Bao answered sweetly, “Five.”
He was indeed the same age as Wan Wan. Staring at the boy, He Yi could not help but ask, “Can I hug you?”
Bao Bao tilted his head to think about it for a while before answering, “Sure.”

He Yi was still thinking about Bao Bao’s tiny figure and scent when she returned to her seat. His tiny body fitted her embrace perfectly. She could not let him go as if he was a lost treasure.
However, she was embarrassed to keep the boy with her as his mother was staring right beside her. She had to force herself to let go of him eventually.
After bidding farewell to Yu Shujun, He Yi turned to leave when she vaguely heard Bao Bao talking to Yu Shujun. “Aunt Yu…”
He called Yu Shujun aunt, which meant she was not his mother!
“What took you so long?” Yi Liangze maintained his politeness despite waiting for quite some time. However, there was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
He Yi smiled lightly and sat down. “I didn’t know that the restaurant owner is your friend.”
Yi Liangze understood at once. He stared at her with enthusiasm and asked, “Did you talk to Shujun?”
He Yi was more interested in something else instead of his relationship with Shujun. “The boy beside Miss Yu is adorable. Whose kid is that?”
She stirred her freshly poured coffee to hide her uneasiness subconsciously.
She was unsure why she felt that way. It was as if the answer was of utmost importance to her. ‘Why does it matter so much about whose child he is?’ The longing was so strong despite him being a stranger. Perhaps he looked too similar to Wan Wan!
“You saw Bao Bao?” Yi Liangze’s dark eyes bulged with surprise.
“You know him?” He sounded like he was familiar with Bao Bao based on his tone.
Yi Liangze chuckled and answered naturally, “I am his father!”
