His gaze fixed on the boy's face in the photo. He sat back-to-back with a young, beautiful woman, both hugging their knees and looking at the camera, their smiles radiantly bright. It wasn't hard to see that the little boy's smile, features, and those clear, sparkling eyes bore a striking resemblance to the woman. Just from this picture alone, it was clear that mother and son lived a happy life together.
When he flipped to the woman's solo photo, a shadow of depth flickered in Nangong Yehen's eyes. The woman's smile was sweet, brilliant as the rich aroma of red wine, her beauty natural, her face stunningly gorgeous. After glancing at the photo, Nangong Yehen couldn't be bothered to read the text and asked flatly, "Tell me about her situation."
"Miss Chu rented a floor of office space in Junyi Tower three years ago to start her own wellness company. Now she's a top-tier therapist with a good income. Over the years, the eldest young master hasn't suffered with her; they've lived well. The eldest young master inherited the old master's good genes, just like the young master—both are exceptionally smart children." Huoluan glanced at the documents in Nangong Yehen's hand and continued, "Five years ago, when Miss Chu fled, she was in a car accident. That accident caused her to lose some of her memory."
Hearing this, Nangong Yehen's eyes darkened. *Lost her memory?* A faint, almost imperceptible cold smile hung on the man's handsome face, his deep gaze unfathomable.
Thinking of that woman who had the audacity to take his son away, he felt a surge of impulse to strangle her. But back then, if she hadn't run off with the child, pursued by several bodyguards, they would likely have perished in that explosion. His flesh and blood meant everything to him, and the bodyguards he trained were also quite valuable. That woman's boldness had reduced his losses and saved his son's life.
Nangong Yehen valued his offspring immensely because, due to a physical condition, very few women in this world could have their eggs successfully combine with his sperm. When he first found this woman, he never expected it to go so smoothly—she got pregnant with twins right away. Back then, the younger son was born with oxygen deprivation and was immediately placed in an incubator and sent to the hospital for observation, while the older son was taken away by that woman—
"Regardless, I must thank that woman properly for giving me two sons." Nangong Yehen looked up and said to Huoluan. A hint of a smile flickered across Huoluan's respectful face. "The master is absolutely right."
A wild, unrestrained grin gleamed in Nangong Yehen's deep, profound eyes. "I want to meet that woman." "Master, do you need me to arrange it?" "No." Nangong Yehen said, his gaze thoughtfully landing on the little boy's face in the photo. As he stared, his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Hmph!" He tossed the documents onto the coffee table in a huff, his handsome face clouded with gloom. "..." Huoluan looked at him in confusion. *The master seemed in a good mood just now, so why now—* "Not a single son looks like me; they all take after that woman!" Huoluan: "..."

Dropping her son off at school and then driving from there to the company was something Chu Lingzhi did every day. So, aside from the security guards and cleaners on duty, she was always the first to arrive at Junyi Tower. Chu Lingzhi preferred being early to being late; traffic jams during rush hour made her irritable. Rather than sitting in a car getting annoyed, she'd rather arrive at the office an hour early and enjoy a nice breakfast there.
Dressed in a light blue V-neck dress that accentuated her graceful figure and ethereal beauty, her waist-length hair was casually pinned up, revealing her fair, elegant neck and perfect ears. Carrying a breakfast bag, she walked briskly in high heels, full of energy toward the elevator in the building.
