When Gu Yingyi came back, Shen Chao was carrying a plate of fruit out of the kitchen. He walked over to Gu Yingyi, forked a piece of watermelon with a fork and handed it to him, saying with a smile, “You smell like alcohol. Did you have another social event? Eat some fruit to calm your nerves.”

　　”Thanks for your hard work.”

　　Shen Chao raised his hand, and Gu Yingyi just happened to see the bandage on his hand.

　　”What happened to your hand?”

　　Shen Chao dodged deliberately, “It’s okay.”

　　”How did you do that?”

　　Gu Yingyi asked again and again, and Shen Chao hesitated and said, “I, I didn’t know that there was a dog at home. When I went to the greenhouse in the afternoon, I was scared by the dog inside. I accidentally knocked over the flower pot and scratched it.”

　　Gu Yingyi has always known that Shen Chao doesn’t like dogs, so without thinking, he asked Aunt Jiang to throw Shen Yu’s dog out.

　　Aunt Jiang had no choice but to do it. Shen Yu begged desperately, but Gu Yingyi was extremely tough and there was no room for negotiation no matter what Shen Yu said.

　　Shen Yu cried so hard that he couldn’t breathe. He knelt on the ground and held Shiba Inu tightly, refusing to let go. Gu Yingyi stood in front of him condescendingly with a cold expression. Shen Chao and Gu Yingyi stood side by side.

　　Gu Yingyi said ruthlessly: “If you don’t want to throw the dog away, get out with it.”

　　All the money Shen Yu had was used up on Shiba Inu’s medical treatment. He was penniless. Shiba Inu would only suffer if he followed him. They didn’t even have a place to live.

　　Aunt Jiang was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. She boldly said, “Sir, my daughter also likes pets. If you allow, I would like to give the dog to my daughter.”

　　Gu Yingyi had nothing to say, which was considered as acquiescence. “No matter how you deal with it, you are not allowed to show up at home again.”

　　It is better to raise it at Aunt Jiang’s house than to abandon it. Shen Yu is reluctant to let it go, but Aunt Jiang tells him that he can visit the Shiba Inu anytime, which makes him feel relieved.

　　On the day when the Shiba Inu was sent away, Aunt Jiang’s daughter came to pick him up. Aunt Jiang’s daughter liked the Shiba Inu very much. Shen Yu packed a lot of snacks for the Shiba Inu in large and small bags. When he left at the last minute, he asked uncertainly, “Can I go to see the Shiba Inu every week?”

　　Aunt Jiang’s daughter smiled and said, “Of course, you can come whenever you want.” Then she asked Shen Yu for his phone and they added each other on WeChat. “My name is Jiang Yue. Let’s add each other on WeChat. I will take good care of it and send you videos and photos every day.”

　　Shen Yu clutched the phone and reluctantly said goodbye to the Shiba Inu. “Be good, Shiba Inu. Listen to your sister. I will visit you every week.”

　　The Shiba Inu whined for a long time and was unwilling to leave, rubbing its head against Shen Yu’s palm.

　　Shen Yu suppressed his reluctance and carried the Shiba Inu into Aunt Jiang’s daughter’s car. He took one last look at it and then closed the door.

　　For Shen Yu, Shiba Inu is the warmth of snuggling together in winter. It has accompanied Shen Yu through many difficult winters. It is not only a pet, but also a friend who accompanies Shen Yu.

　　Shen Yu thought that he must work hard to earn money, and then he could rent a house outside and bring the Shiba Inu back home.

　　They will never be kicked out again if they have their own home.

　　Shen Yu thought so and did so. While he was weaving the doll, he spread the finished product on the net.

　　He knitted a lot of new items that he had never knitted before, hoping that someone would ask him to make some custom items.

　　He would save every penny and then rent a very big house.

　　That way, even if Gu Yingyi doesn’t like Shiba Inu, the Shiba Inu will have a place to live.

　　When Gu Yingyi learned that the flowers planted by Shen Chao were trampled, he had the finished products transplanted and placed in the greenhouse for Shen Chao to appreciate.

　　The two of them seemed to be a loving couple, and Shen Yu was just an unnecessary person sandwiched between them. Gu Yingyi ignored Shen Yu and put all his heart and soul on Shen Chao, even taking time to accompany Shen Chao to watch flowers.

　　The lilies are fragrant and fill the entire greenhouse.

　　Shen Chao was happy both physically and mentally. He was certain that his face could be cured, but right now, there was still one most important thing that had not been done.

　　Just as Shen Chao and Gu Yingyi were admiring the blooming lilies, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He bent over, holding his stomach in pain.

　　Gu Yingyi hurriedly supported him and asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”

　　Shen Chao pressed his stomach hard, waiting for the familiar cramping feeling to subside.

　　”Achao? Are you feeling unwell? Let’s go to the hospital.” Gu Yingyi said as he was about to hug him.

　　Shen Chao grabbed him, shook his head, and said with a forced smile: “It’s okay, I just had a stomachache.”

　　Gu Yingyi was obviously still worried: “No, let’s go to the hospital.”

　　”Really, there’s no need. I’m fine. Don’t you have things to do at the company? Go and get busy.” Shen Chao insisted on not going to the hospital.

　　Seeing that he was unwilling to go, Gu Yingyi did not force him. The company did have some things to deal with. He helped Shen Chao back to the bedroom and said, “Then you go back and rest first. I’ll ask Auntie to make you some light food. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”

　　”Okay.” Shen Chao said with a smile.

　　After watching Gu Yingyi’s car drive away, Shen Chao took out his mobile phone, pulled out a number from the blacklist, and sent him a text message.

　　“The old place.”

　　After sending the text message, Shen Chao packed his things and prepared to go out, putting on a mask and pulling the brim of his hat down low.

　　As soon as he reached the door, Shen Yu came face to face with him.

　　Shen Yu was stunned by his brother’s outfit and almost didn’t recognize him. After looking for a long time, he realized who he was. He asked curiously, “Brother, why are you dressed like this? Yu Yu almost didn’t recognize him.”

　　”I’m going out to buy some things and will bring you some candy when I come back. You have to keep my brother’s going out a secret, okay?” Shen Chao fooled Shen Yu easily, and the silly Shen Yu believed it.

　　”Brother, are you afraid that auntie will laugh at you for eating too much candy?”

　　Shen Chao said: “Yes, that’s why Xiaoyu has to keep it a secret so that your brother will buy you candy.”

　　Shen Yu nodded heavily. Although he hadn’t finished his candy yet, he was happy because his brother was so kind to him: “Yes! Yu Yu will definitely keep it a secret.”

　　At a moment when Shen Yu didn’t see, Shen Chao laughed sarcastically, and then called him a fool in his heart.

　　After leaving the villa, they took a taxi all the way to a slum-like place in City A. They passed through a large cave, and the wheels of the car rolled over bumpy puddles. Shen Chao frowned and his stomach began to ache again.

　　The dilapidated old buildings here are next to each other and are packed with residents. The taxi turned a corner and stopped in front of a cheap hotel. Next to the store was a sign written with a paint pen saying “Today’s special room rate: 25 yuan a night.”

　　Shen Chao paid the fare and got off the car. He lowered the brim of his hat again, entered the hotel and went straight upstairs.

　　After arriving at room 202, Shen Chao knocked on the door.

　　”I’m coming.” A deep voice came from inside the house. The shabby hotel had poor sound insulation. Shen Chao could imagine Mu Changfeng dragging his lame leg, limping slowly towards the door to open it.

　　He stood at the door and waited for a minute, and the door finally opened.

　　What catches your eye is Mu Changfeng’s bronzed skin from years of working in the fields. Mu Changfeng’s appearance is not very outstanding, but his facial features are deep, and he has a tough and attractive look.

　　Shen Chao pushed the door open and came in, and went straight to the point: “Where are the things?”

　　Mu Changfeng was delighted to see Shen Chao after a long absence, and asked with concern: “Chao Chao, are you okay? Why didn’t you contact me recently? I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, and I was very worried about you and the child.”

　　Shen Chao shook off his hand and repeated impatiently: “Where’s the thing? Give it to me quickly.”

　　Mu Changfeng limped to the drawer of the bedside table and took out a few small bottles and walked over: “Here, here.”

　　Shen Chao snatched the bottle from his hand and turned to leave, but Mu Changfeng hurriedly held him back, “Chao Chao, I still have a lot to say to you.”

　　”What?” Shen Chao wanted to leave and his tone was extremely impatient.

　　”Chao Chao, come back with me. Let’s not fight over things anymore. I will work hard to earn money to support you and the child.” Mu Changfeng looked sincere. He felt distressed when he saw Shen Chao’s thin figure, not to mention that he was pregnant.

　　Shen Chao’s patience ran out, and he shook his hand off heavily: “Mu Changfeng, who are you to me? Don’t think you can control me just because you saved me. How much money can you make by selling those fishy and smelly fish every day? It was you who had to secretly follow me to City A. If you want to go back, you can go back by yourself. I tell you, I must take back what belongs to me.”

　　After saying this, Shen Chao strode away, leaving Mu Changfeng’s lonely figure standing there for a long time without moving.

　　After returning to the villa, Shen Chao took off his clothes and met Shen Yu again. His stomach began to ache again. He had to go back to the room quickly to inject the glandular fluid that Mu Changfeng gave him into his body to soothe the fetus.

　　Shen Yu thought his brother had bought some candy, so he stopped Shen Chao with a smile and stretched out his hand to him: “Brother! Yu Yu kept it a secret from Auntie, where are the candies~”

　　Shen Chao broke out in a cold sweat. He bent over, pushed Shen Yu away and went back to the bedroom.

　　Shen Yu, who was pushed away, stood there in a daze.

　　Why doesn’t his brother give him candy?

　　In the bedroom, Shen Chao took out a bottle of glandular fluid with trembling hands, sucked it into the syringe and injected it into his own glands.

　　Mu Changfeng’s pheromones have a slightly salty smell like the sea. The familiar smell spreads in the body and travels through the blood, relieving the abdominal pain little by little.

　　He touched his belly, which was still flat at just over a month old.

　　This child is Mu Changfeng’s.

　　After he was sold to a small coastal village far away from the city, it was Mu Changfeng who spent 10,000 yuan to buy him and saved him. The child was an accident and he didn’t want to keep it, but now he needs to use this child to get back everything that belongs to him from Shen Yu.

　　Mu Changfeng knew that Shen Chao was not from the village. After he recovered from his injury, he insisted on returning to City A. Mu Changfeng personally sent him to the car.

　　In the early stages of pregnancy, the baby needed Mu Changfeng’s pheromones for comfort. He hadn’t visited Mu Changfeng for a month until the stomach pain became more and more obvious, and he had to contact Mu Changfeng.

　　The abdominal pain took longer than usual to ease, and Shen Chao vaguely felt that if it continued like this, the truth would be revealed sooner or later.

　　Just as Shen Chao thought, he still had stomachache the next day after being soothed by Mu Changfeng’s glandular fluid.

　　His severe abdominal pain was caused by the medicine he took to suppress morning sickness and the lack of Mu Changfeng’s pheromones to comfort him for a long time.

　　I can’t go on like this, I have to think of a proper solution quickly.
