Xiao Yuchuan knew that Chang Haotian was determined to fight with him, but with Ye’er in his arms, he didn’t want to hurt his precious son. At this moment, two carriages stopped in front of the Su Mansion. Xiao Chonghuan got off the first carriage with the help of a servant, while Shen Yun and Gongsun Qianru walked down arm in arm from the second carriage, looking extremely affectionate. “Chuan’er, Master Chang, what are you doing?” Xiao Chonghuan, dressed in a solemn brown-gray robe, spoke seriously. Xiao Yuchuan glanced at Chang Haotian coldly, “Master Chang shamelessly insists that Ye’er is his son.” “How do you know he’s not?” Xiao Chonghuan did not want to acknowledge the child born of that humble woman Su Qingyue, regardless of whether he was or not, “What kind of status does Master Chang hold? If he’s not his son, why would he speak nonsense?” “He covets my wife, deliberately confusing the situation. There is absolutely nothing between my wife and him!” Xiao Yuchuan’s tone was furious. “Chuan’er, he likes Su Qingyue, you should let him have her.” Xiao Chonghuan said solemnly, “You are the legitimate son of the Xiao Family, of noble status, while Su Qingyue is just an ordinary businessman. Though she may have some talent, she is absolutely no match for you.” Shen Yun also added, “Chuan’er, your father is right. In the world, is there any parent who doesn’t love their child? You are our only son, your mother and your father will not harm you.” “Then who do you want me to marry?” Xiao Yuchuan’s gaze moved to Gongsun Qianru beside Shen Yun, his eyes revealing a trace of irony, “Marry the loose woman Gongsun Qianru who was rejected by Young Master Ning of the second-class Ning family?” Gongsun Qianru was initially bashful at his look, but never expected him to speak this way, instantly feeling her liver and heart tremble with anger, “Xiao Lang… you’re too much…” “Shut up!” Xiao Yuchuan scolded, “Xiao Lang? You dare call me that? Even if I were to be a bachelor for a lifetime, I wouldn’t marry you.” Gongsun Qianru gazed wide-eyed in shock, “You…” “Not denying it means you want to marry me.” Xiao Yuchuan laughed, “Why don’t you take a look at yourself; do you think you’re worthy?” Qianru started to cry, “Xiao Lang, I was originally your legitimate fiancée. Over five years ago, you failed me, and under house pressure, I was forced to marry Young Master Ning. After getting married, he indulged in debauchery every day, kept several concubines outside, and even despised me, saying I was a woman unwanted by you. My life was ruined because of you. And I… ever since seeing you at the Xiao Mansion, my heart has sunk on you. I hurried to separate from Young Master Ning, otherwise, even a second-class Ning family would not dare to divorce me, a legitimate eldest miss from a first-class family. I find marrying another man worse than death, so I wait for your return. I believe that one day, we can reunite again.” The beautiful woman cried tearfully, looking so delicate and moving. This was at the gates of the Su Mansion, where two of the world’s five largest powers, the chief of Pear Blossom Villa, the family head and legitimate son of a first-rate family, along with the legitimate fifth young miss of the Gongsun Family, staged a drama in the streets, making quite a scene and drawing a large crowd. Chang Haotian didn’t mind; he wished that more people would believe that Little Ye’er was his son. Gongsun Qianru, having been married once, allowing the world to know all she did was for Xiao Yuchuan, would only make others feel her deep affection.
