Chapter 1501 Husband and wife should stand united in the face of outsiders
"It would be good if you looked like me." Zhuang Shijue laughed.
Bai Chenhui buried his head in his hands on the table, repeatedly calling out, "Dad, Dad..."
"Hey, son, good boy, Dad bought you some nice things, hurry up and do your homework." Zhuang Shijue laughed heartily.
"Dad Zhuang, will you sleep with me tonight?"
"A real man needs someone to sleep with him, what a pathetic man," Zhuang Shijue snorted.
Bai Chenhui shook his head and remained silent. Bai Xin'ai stroked her son's head and said, "Don't leave him, Mommy will stay with you, okay?"
"No, I'll sleep by myself. I'm all grown up now." Bai Chenhui was determined to become a respected person, and he was determined to get rid of his childish behavior of needing someone to sleep with him at night.
Zhuang Shijue sat for a while, then went upstairs. His stomach was empty, but he didn't want to eat anything, so he lay down on the bed fully clothed.
The aunt downstairs whispered to Bai Xin'ai, "Miss Bai, it seems Mr. Zhuang hasn't had dinner yet; he's been waiting for you."
"He's a grown man, he won't go hungry, just ignore him," Bai Xin'ai said indifferently.
"..." The aunt saw Bai Chenhui tilting his head to look at her, hesitated to speak, not wanting the child to hear.
A little while later, the housekeeper heated up the leftovers from dinner and brought them upstairs. She didn't quite understand; Mr. Zhuang seemed like a nice person, so why didn't Miss Bai like him?
The feelings of young people are truly unfathomable.
Bai Chenhui watched his aunt go upstairs, then tilted his head to look at his mother, "Mommy, Uncle Zhuang hasn't eaten yet."
“Huihui is a child and he can take care of himself. Uncle Zhuang is an adult, so there’s even less need to worry about him, understand?” Bai Xin’ai said softly.
Bai Chenhui seemed to understand and said, "Yes, I get it."
The aunt came downstairs again after a short while, still carrying the reheated food. When she came downstairs, she deliberately stopped in front of Bai Xin'ai and said, "Mr. Zhuang said he has no appetite and doesn't want to eat."
Bai Xin'ai looked up, her eyes filled with surprise, and asked, "Why are you telling me? He'll figure something out if he's hungry."
The aunt choked for a moment, then left without saying anything more.
While doing his homework, Bai Chenhui said, "Mommy went to coax Uncle Zhuang, and Uncle Zhuang regained his appetite."
Bai Xin'ai patted her son's head: "Don't talk too much, do your homework, okay?"

At that time, Zhuang Shiyuan pulled Mu Ning downstairs, afraid that Bai Xin'ai would catch up and he would not be able to explain, so he pulled Mu Ning to the back of the community and did not go out.
"Don't misunderstand, I haven't done anything to wrong you." Zhuang Shiyuan said immediately. This matter couldn't be brushed aside; if it wasn't explained clearly, it would become a thorn in her side.
Mu Ning let out a long sigh, "Her clothes were all undone..."
"I didn't untie it." Zhuang Shiyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless to himself.
Mu Ning didn't speak. After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shiyuan stepped forward and hugged Mu Ning. "How should I explain this to you? Can you believe me first?"
“My heart wants to believe you, but my eyes tell me what I saw. Why did you take her to Dr. Lin's house? Why were you hugging? What were you struggling with? And what about the child?”
Mu Ning asked softly, "What's most shocking isn't the tug-of-war between the two, but rather, is that clever child Zhuang Shiyuan's son?"
Isn't this ridiculous?
"Zhuang Shiyuan, how old are you? Your son is already six years old?!" Mu Ning asked with a smile, but his eyes were dull, and a hint of hurt was welling up inside them.
"Ning'er..."
"She's so beautiful, I know no man could resist her." Mu Ning turned away from him.
Zhuang Shiyuan sighed, "Don't say such things. I will take Xin'ai to Dr. Lin's house because I don't want to be involved in any physical altercations on the street."
As a man, it seems rather dishonest to slander a woman, so he couldn't say how Bai Xin'ai had harassed him to the point that he was powerless to explain himself at this moment.
Zhuang Shiyuan pulled Mu Ning to sit down on a chair. "When two people who have promised to spend their lives together encounter difficulties, shouldn't the other person help them overcome those difficulties instead of standing by and doing nothing?"
"Mm," Mu Ning replied.
Zhuang Shiyuan grasped Mu Ning's hand. "I'm facing some difficulties right now. Let's discuss what to do, okay?"
"..." Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Shiyuan, who smiled gently: "Don't push things away and say it has nothing to do with you. You should care about my affairs. Tell me, what should I do about Bai Xin'ai's situation now?"
"I..." Mu Ning was still reeling from the blow when he turned around and kicked the question at her like a ball.
If someone does this, then they must truly have a clear conscience.
However, Zhuang Shiyuan's actions were the greatest honesty and respect he could show her. If Mu Ning were to ask him what to do, it would be a difficult question for her.
“We’re getting married soon, and trust is the most important principle between us. Bai Xin’ai’s appearance has also disrupted my life. At this time, you should help me think of the best way to handle this, instead of getting angry at me and doubting my feelings. A husband and wife should be united against external forces. As long as you trust me, everything else is negotiable.”
Mu Ning nodded as if she understood, and just like that, the tangled knot in her heart was untied.
When problems arise, avoidance is not the solution; simply face them, and there's nothing that can't be resolved.
Seeing Mu Ning's expression, Zhuang Shiyuan asked softly again, "Then what do you think we should do about our exes?"
Mu Ning shook her head. "I don't know."
Zhuang Shiyuan was speechless for a moment. Mu Ning paused for a moment and then said, "But it's not just Miss Bai, there's also Bai Chenhui. That child, Miss Bai's son, is he really yours?"
Zhuang Shiyuan hesitated, "I don't know."
As he said this, he looked directly at Mu Ning, observing the flickering expressions on her face, and felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
"If it really is my son, what do you think we should do?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked Mu Ning in return.
Mu Ning was speechless, momentarily unable to accept the injustice. Suddenly, she turned to the other side and sat with her back to him.
"Let me calm down. I can't, I can't think through all these things at once. Don't say anything, don't disturb me..."
How did a relationship that was originally so pure and innocent turn out like this?
Zhuang Shiyuan's mental preparation might be helpful if she were only dealing with Bai Xin'ai, but having to deal with her ex and his illegitimate child at the same time... she really couldn't accept it all at once.
She found it unbelievable that she didn't make a scene; she pressed her head and leaned back in her chair. Zhuang Shiyuan quickly sat down beside her, gently embraced her, and didn't disturb her any further.
After a long while, Mu Ning turned her head and asked seriously, "How come you have a son?"
"Me too..." Zhuang Shiyuan stretched his arm in a muffled voice, full of helplessness, "I made a mistake just once, I can't deny what happened before..." How should I explain it?
