Zhang Ran’s eyes widened when he saw this. “Y-Yun Qing, you already have a child?”

Yun Qing explained, “No, this is my friend’s child.”

Jack stuck his tongue out at Zhang Ran. “I want her to be my mommy…”

“Jack, didn’t I tell you not to run around?” At that moment, Ryan walked over and helplessly pulled Jack to his side. He sounded a little exasperated.

Zhang Ran looked up at Ryan and was a little surprised. “You, you’re Ryan from Leyuan Group?”

“Yes.” Ryan nodded. “Sorry, my child has interrupted you guys. You guys can continue chatting.”

“Jack, we need to eat.”

Ryan held Jack’s hand, but Jack looked at Yun Qing reluctantly.

“Baby, you go eat with your father first. I’ll come and play with you later.” Yun Qing patted Jack’s head and comforted him.

Since Yun Qing had said so, Jack could only nod obediently and follow Ryan back to their seats.

“So that was Ryan’s child?” Zhang Ran looked at Ryan and Jack from afar and muttered.

“Yes.” Yun Qing smiled slightly. “He bonded with me upon sight and has been clinging to me at every opportunity since then.”

Zhang Ran nodded thoughtfully. “Then, have you never considered being with Ryan?”

Yun Qing shook her head decisively. “No, I only like Jack.”

Zhang Ran did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he started to talk about other matters with Yun Qing.

Because the two families had a good relationship, the meeting between Yun Qing and Zhang Ran did not turn out awkward. Zhang Ran shared many things that he had seen and heard abroad with Yun Qing like a friend. Yun Qing was engrossed in listening to him.

It had to be said that Zhang Ran almost managed to pique her genuine interest.

Before leaving, Yun Qing still made it clear to Zhang Ran, “Zhang Ran, I agreed to meet you this time because of the friendship between our two families. Actually, I still want to put my career first.”

Zhang Ran was stunned, and then he laughed. “I also came here because of the friendship between our two families, but after seeing how outstanding you are, I really want to pursue you.

“But before I could do anything, you stopped me outside the door.”

When she saw that Zhang Ran was not very concerned about this matter, Yun Qing was relieved.

If the relationship between the Yun family and the Zhang family ever became strained, Yun Zhen would definitely be unhappy.

Previously, when the Yun family had made a fortune, the Zhang family had helped out a lot.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Ran, Yun Qing played with Jack for a while before she drove home on her own.

Not far from her house, Yun Qing suddenly saw a burning cigarette.

When she spotted the tall, lanky figure under the streetlights, Yun Qing could more or less guess who this person was.

It was late at night. What was he doing downstairs at her house?

Yun Qing got out of the car. When he heard the sound, Huo Chuan turned his head and looked at Yun Qing with his deep eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Yun Qing stood still and asked Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan took a deep breath and said, “I often come here at night.”

Yun Qing was stunned.

Huo Chuan continued, “You don’t have to worry about me. I just… wanted to come and see you.”

“Huo Chuan, it’s too late for this now. There are better ways to spend your time, I mean it.”

Although Yun Qing’s heart could not help but tremble when she heard Huo Chuan’s words, what was the use of these deep feelings?

If you only learned how to cherish that which you have lost, then it was better not to have once earned them.

Huo Chuan grabbed Yun Qing’s hand and said, “Yun Qing, I know you blame me for everything, but now I really know that I was wrong. I don’t want to lose you again, even if I get your forgiveness.”

“I have long forgiven you, but I don’t want to have too much to do with you anymore.” Yun Qing made it very clear.

“I want so much more than that.” Huo Chuan grabbed Yun Qing’s shoulder and said, “Yun Qing, I can make up for all those years, as long as you want.”

“I don’t want to.” Yun Qing shook Huo Chuan’s hand away and said coldly, “Huo Chuan, we’re done with each other.”

When he saw Yun Qing’s determination, Huo Chuan’s eyes darkened.

Perhaps, he really had to give up on her?

However, he still couldn’t bear to give up on the person he loved.
