Chapter 50: That's My Son!

"President, we should be heading back."

Dongfang She crossed his long legs and gave a soft, indifferent hum. "Drive carefully on the way."

Yu Jin's face darkened. *Carefully your foot!*

In this high-end residential district, there were not even any taxis to be found. How was she supposed to leave alone with a child?

Shouldn't he, as a gentleman, at least offer the courtesy of asking if she needed a ride?

"Do you need a ride?" Dongfang She asked, living up to expectations after all.

Yu Jin was just about to nod when Dongfang She added nonchalantly, "I've had too much to drink tonight, so driving you out would count as drunk driving. Who knows what kind of trouble that might cause!"

Yu Jin felt a surge of blood rush to her throat. *You are ruthless!*

Fire nestled uncomfortably in Yu Jin's arms, looking thoroughly miserable.

"Then could you lend me your car? There are no cabs around here, and Fire is getting sleepy."

Dongfang She curved his lips into a smile, stood up, and closed in on her. Yu Jin instinctively stepped back.

"What are you doing?" If he wasn't going to lend her the car, so be it; did he have to look so menacing?

Dongfang She smiled without a word. He walked over and suddenly reached out, scooping the child right out of her arms.

Hey, that's my son you're holding, not some toy!

"You two will sleep here for the night. Go tidy up the room," Dongfang She commanded imperiously, leaving Yu Jin frozen in place, before turning and walking into his own master bedroom with the child.

It took Yu Jin quite a while to process what had just happened. Was she actually about to spend the night away from home? And what's more, she was doing it with her own son?!

"Yes, alright, come to Grand View Villas."

In the study next door, Dongfang She was on a phone call. He changed his clothes and pushed the door open, buttoning his cuffs as he said, "Assistant Yu, I'm stepping out for a while."

Yu Jin was in the middle of giving Fire a bath when she suddenly heard the roar of a sports car engine outside. She hurried out anxiously.

Was there still any trace of Dongfang She to be seen?

Feeling rather awkward, Yu Jin turned and walked back into the room.

"Mommy, did Daddy leave?" Fire had removed his colored contact lenses, revealing a pair of emerald green eyes shrouded in a hazy, watery mist.

Yu Jin used a towel to dry his hair and nodded absentmindedly.

"Then will Daddy come back?"

"Probably not." She suddenly recalled what Secretary Gu had said earlier—that he had a date with some princess to watch an opera at nine o'clock tonight. He certainly had the leisure and mood for it. Just a moment ago, he had used drunk driving as an excuse, but the moment his little lover made a phone call, he dashed off without a second thought.

For reasons unknown, an unnamable fire ignited within Yu Jin, scorching her internal organs.

Seeing her grim expression, Fire did not dare to stir up any more trouble.

After the bath, Fire quite naturally claimed Dongfang She's bed as his own. It was large, soft, and clean, and best of all, it carried the scent of his own daddy. A little boy couldn't possibly love it more!

Yu Jin tidied up the guest room and took a quick shower herself. Tossing and turning, she found it impossible to sleep. She was sensitive to sleeping in unfamiliar beds, and even though this was just a guest room, it was permeated everywhere with Dongfang She's scent, leaving her deeply unsettled.

"Mommy, can I come in?" Outside the door, Fire gave a soft knock with his small hand.

"Come in."

Fire poked his small head in, his flaxen-colored tousled hair exuding an aura of nobility. He stepped inside, scrambled over to Yu Jin's side in a few swift movements, and snuggled into her arms holding a tablet computer.

"Whose is this?"

"Daddy's. He told me to play games."

Yu Jin looked at the tablet, and an idea suddenly crossed her mind. Her face broke into a radiant smile. Fire vaguely sensed the scent of a conspiracy and looked up to find Yu Jin wearing an utterly ingratiating expression.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" This kind of smile terrified him!

"Darling, I heard your computer skills are quite impressive?" Yu Jin asked tactfully. What she really wanted to ask was: *I heard you're a computer hacker?*
