{He held the kid, but she… 2}

“At least I can stay by my mom’s side, accompanying her twenty-four hours a day without interruption.

Bian Yuxing felt a bit frustrated; after all, returning to the castle meant just watching her old father leave for work and come home to continue working.

“Bored?”

“I want my mom to accompany me.”

It seemed that once this was voiced through the child, the subsequent actions followed naturally.

Bian Yuan remained expressionless, showing no surprise at the success of his plan. He took out his phone, paused over a familiar number, and told Bian Yuxing, “Then have her come over on Friday night.”

Of course, the little child wouldn’t refuse such a humane arrangement.

She had no idea she was “working hard” for her old father when she said, “Su Su, are you free this Friday night? Hehe, I want to build a special-sized treehouse within what Uncle Butler allows! Then we can all play house together!”

Yu Suye could hear the joy in the child’s words.

After the incident with the juinior student two days ago, Yu Suye felt even more guilty and thought she should find an opportunity to make it up to Xingxing. She had considered that there might be some rumors floating around school, but she never imagined that this matter would be used to bully a child without reservation.

However, that Friday happened to be Lin Wushen’s birthday party.

She had promised him she would go pick up the laptop she had previously given him, so Yu Suye had to refuse Xingxing once, saying, “I’m sorry, Xingxing, but I have something on that night, and I can’t get away.”

Bian Yuxing didn’t intend to make it difficult for Su Su.

Her mom was still a college student; there were many things she couldn’t leave behind.

But she almost instinctively followed her father’s casual reminder and hint, asking Su Su, “Why? Is there something more important than playing with Xingxing?”

Yu Suye replied honestly, “It’s a classmate’s birthday party.”

At that moment, the old man who was still drinking water suddenly choked and hurriedly put down his glass.

Bian Yuxing pouted at him in disappointment.

At this moment, Bian Yuan suddenly recalled the content of his initial phone call with Yu Suye not long ago. Comparing it with the timeline originally agreed upon by Yu Suye, this week’s date coincidentally matched perfectly.

So, she wouldn’t be going to that man’s birthday party, would she?

He had already brought her biological daughter right under her nose.

Of course, Bian Yuan was still unwilling to make a blind decision.

He casually hinted to Bian Yuxing again, “Ask her which of your mom’s good friends it is; maybe we can go support them.”

Bian Yuxing followed the steps and asked, “Su Su, who’s having a birthday?”

Yu Suye, overwhelmed by her guilt toward Xingxing, blurted out, “It’s Lin Wushen.”

Oh no.

The old man confirmed he hadn’t overthought things.

He didn’t expect that while he was personally taking care of the child, she was… hanging around with men.
