Madam Qi didn't come to see me again.

All along, I had my elder brother keep my identity a secret, wanting to quietly run my art studio.

But the Qi family wants to fight for custody of Xiao Yu. I can't back down. I have to exert pressure on them using the identity of the Huo family.

But I didn't expect Qi Yu to still be persistent. He goes to the kindergarten gate every day, bringing different gifts each time.

"Qi Yu, if you continue like this, I'll have to call the police."

I had Xiao Yu get in the car first, while I stood outside wanting to explain things clearly to Qi Yu. Qi Yu's eyes turned red at the corners, "Li Xiang, what you're doing to me is too cruel. I truly love you."

"I can give you anything you want, as long as you and the child come back to me, okay?"

Tears welled up in the corners of Qi Yu's eyes, a hint of piercing red. The tall man became extremely humble, his voice choked with emotion.

He took out an album and opened it. Every picture inside was of the same man.

Standing, sitting, smiling, not smiling, just waking up, eating in the dining room, working in the study.

All sorts of Qi Yus. Every detail of him, I carefully sketched throughout the years.

"I've always cherished this album. You said that no matter what kind of person I am, you would love me."

He looked up at me, and his eyes gradually became moist. "But why did you suddenly stop loving me?"

I looked at him expressionlessly. "It's meaningless to say these things now."

Suddenly, Qi Yu tightly grasped my hand. "Then tell me what is meaningful! What do I have to do for you to come back to me?"

"Do you know how painful it is for me every time I see the woman I love smiling at someone else, my own child calling someone else 'dad'? How much it hurts my heart!"

I pulled my hand away, stirring up the long-suppressed sadness and leaving its mark.

"Qi Yu, we really have no chance. I don't love you anymore, and I don't hate you either."

After saying those words, I turned around and was about to get in the car.

However, Qi Yu suddenly grabbed my hand and forcefully pressed his lips against mine.

The moment his lips touched mine, my stomach churned, and I almost vomited.

I raised my knee and kicked him hard. Qi Yu let out a muffled groan, releasing his grip on me. His face turned slightly purple due to the pain in a certain area.

I raised my hand and slapped him with all my might, exerting the greatest strength I had ever used.

I coldly looked at him. "Qi Yu, please leave me alone."

I drove away without looking back. Qi Yu, standing in place, covered his face with his hands, weakly crouching on the ground, his shoulders trembling.
