Song Zhen's voice was melodious yet tinged with a trace of cool detachment.
This made Gu Xinzhou's heart chill by half.
She looked at McDull, originally hoping that McDull would also be on her side.
But to her surprise, she discovered that McDull obediently lay in Song Zhen's arms, one hand around his neck and the other touching Song Zhen's chin, looking curiously at the new stubble of blueish beard with fascination.
And Song Zhen, he let McDull fumble on his face at will.
He felt the child's hand was tender, and it was comforting to have his face touched.
At that moment, he truly enjoyed it.
Gu Xinzhou looked on helplessly at this scene, thinking to herself, perhaps this is the nature of father and son, blood is thicker than water!
She furrowed her brows and said coldly, "Why should I believe you! Maybe your secret is made up, worthless!"
Moreover, her mother had been dead for over twenty years.
What secret could there be?
Song Zhen didn't waste words with her and bluntly said, "Zhouzhou, you have no choice!"
Whether you believe it or not.
Today, she would not be leaving this yard with her son and luggage as if escaping a prison.
Song Zhen swept his gaze around, his tone indifferent, yet exuding authority, "If the person is lost, you all might as well retire."
Everyone: "Yes!"
Their voices in unison held such force that McDull withdrew his little hand from Song Zhen's chin.
He looked surprised as he lay on Song Zhen's shoulder, closely observing the people in the yard.
Sensing something, he immediately began to struggle with hands and feet against Song Zhen, "Let me go, put me down!"
But Song Zhen did not heed.
He held the child and turned around.
His gaze, profound, fell on Gu Xinzhou's delicate face, "Zhouzhou, I, Song Zhen, would never let my woman and child fend for themselves.
In the past, I didn't know, and that was that.
Today, I know, and from today on, you must stay by my side!
If you agree to stay by my side, not to mention a secret, even my life, even the entire Fengyun Group, if you want it, I'll give it to you!
Think about your lack of maternal love since childhood, never having felt the warmth of a loving family.
Do you want to let Baobao continue to taste that bitterness?
Zhouzhou, I can swear, although I am a businessman, I have never done anything sly or deceitful. Regarding the condition I just mentioned, I believe, from your perspective, the secret is worth taking a step forward to follow me!"
Song Zhen's words analyzed their current situation from various angles.
Gu Xinzhou looked at McDull.
McDull, with tears in his eyes, looked back at Gu Xinzhou, "Mummy! I'll follow Mummy's lead! If Mummy rejects him, McDull will reject him too!"
Song Zhen's brow furrowed deeply.
His little treasure, the young master of the Fengyun Group, how could he be called McDull?
Qi Lei finally understood what was happening.
Five years ago, the boss got drunk, Gu Xinzhou took care of him all night, and when he woke up, he even called to ask Qi Lei who was in his apartment the previous night; right after, Gu Xinzhou left, and she had been gone for five years...
Qi Lei respectfully stepped forward, bowing to Gu Xinzhou and pleaded, "Madam, please consider the young master's sake and stay by the boss's side.
The boss has already spoken, if you insist on taking the young master and leaving, all of us here will lose our jobs!"
Qi Lei led the way.
All the maids and bodyguards turned towards Gu Xinzhou and bowed halfway, "Please, Madam and the Young Master, stay by the boss's side!"
Gu Xinzhou was filled with a rush of emotions.
She spoke more gently, "I still need to go back to Wan'an Town.
Otherwise, grandmom will worry about me.
When I left last night, I told her that I was going to bring McDull over to stay with her for a while."
