Song Yuan recalled Ji Junpei’s expression. Aside from his slight surprise when Rong Ting called her Mom, he had been extremely calm.

This wasn’t very surprising. None of her friends would believe that she had a five- or six-year-old child. Her parents were intense, which led to her being perceived by others as a good girl during her school years until even now. Let alone Ji Junpei, even her BFF1 Xie Ya wouldn’t believe that Rong Ting was her biological son.

But whether he believed it or not, it had nothing to do with her.

She was leaving for B City in a few days. With his passive and strong-minded character, once she rejected him a few times, he wouldn’t appear before her again.

After Song Yuan returned home with Rong Ting, she looked at the child, contemplating. She couldn’t help asking, “You don’t have anything to ask me?”

This child hated the men who showed up near her and would sometimes throw a fit. This time, he had been so calm. It wasn’t his style.

Rong Ting shot back a doubtful look. “What does Mother Empress think gu should ask?”

Song Yuan laughed. “Nothing, I was just curious. Did you forget? One time, I ran into an old classmate and chatted with him for a bit. You got upset2, and when we got home you lost your temper and said that I was exchanging amorous looks3 with other men behind your Father Emperor’s back.”

At that time, she had quarreled with Gugu.

If nothing else, she felt it was extremely impolite for Gugu to behave like this. If he weren’t her child, she would have no authority to discipline him, but he was her son. In modern times, one must respect one’s elders.

Gugu had been very indignant. They also had an hour-long cold war due to this. Of course, Gugu used his actions to show that a man knew when to yield4. He took the initiative to come to her room to find her and ask for a reconciliation.

Rong Ting was a bit embarrassed hearing her bring up the previous matter, but he straightened his back and coughed lightly. “Mother Empress, that was then, and this is now.”

“What?” Song Yuan asked him with great interest.

Gu is not stupid. Mother Empress has many admirers here.” Rong Ting gave her a glance and said in a small voice, “But Mother Empress’s heart only has Father Emperor.”

This was a huge misunderstanding.

Song Yuan shook her head and explained very seriously, “I didn’t accept the others because one, I haven’t met anyone I liked, and two, it’s not the right time.”

She didn’t want to tell Rong Ting that it was also because of him. This would give the child immense pressure. 

Rong Ting knew that it was inappropriate to talk about Father Emperor with Mother Empress. Mother Empress didn’t remember anything, and Father Emperor was not here; it was useless to say any more.

He changed the subject and asked, “Mother Empress, who was that man just now?”

“My upperclassman in college.” Song Yuan briefly introduced Ji Junpei. “He’s really amazing. He was the province’s top scorer in science in his year.”
