C23 Why Was He Thinking Of That Naughty Boy?

Half an hour later, Soong Tao finally delivered Ye Nanxuan the news that he wanted to hear.

"Mr. Ye, five years ago, the designer Catherine had been in a car accident. It was said that it was very serious. Her family took her overseas for treatment and only returned a year later."

"Five years ago?"

Ye Nanxuan's ears were alert. This timeline was important.

Song Tao nodded. He was also a bit puzzled. The timing was too much of a coincidence.

"What was the date, five years ago?"

"March 18th."

When Soong Tao said this, Ye Nanxuan's face shifted.

"March 18th? You're absolutely sure about that?"

"Yes."

Soong Tao was surprised by Ye Nanxuan's voice. It was rare for him to see his boss so agitated.

Ye Nanxuan suddenly let out a shout of laughter, making Soong Tao's hair stand on one end. When he looked at Ye Nanxuan's face, he seemed to be overjoyed.

"Mr. Ye, are you all right?"

"I am very good, very good indeed. I have never been this good before! Continue your investigation and find out which country she had been to when she got into that car accident five years ago. Who were the people who came with her, and who was the doctor who operated on Catherine? I want to know everything."

Soong Tao nodded, still surprised. However, he quickly recovered.

"Yes, Mr. Ye, I will go right away."

Soong Tao stood up and left.

Ye Nanxuan could not sit still any longer, so he got up and changed into casual clothes. Then he went downstairs.

He was going to find Shen Mannge. And even if she would not admit who she really was, he wanted to see her. For no other reason than to see her familiar eyes, and to ebb his mind's burning doubts and thoughts.

March 18th!

That was the day Shen Mannge had been in the fire.

So many things added up. This could not be a coincidence. Only Shen Mannge's unfamiliar face was the source of all confusion.

If Shen Mannge had turned into the Catherine five years ago, why did she not have the same face?

The more Ye Nanxuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible that Catherine was really his wife.

He quickly went down the stairs. He saw Chu Mengxi and Ye Rui having lunch on the first floor.

"Daddy, are you going out?"

When Ye Rui saw Ye Nanxuan come down, he was elated. He immediately pushed aside his food and rushed over to him.

"Rui, your hands are dirty. Don't touch your Daddy's clothes."

Chu Mengxi saw the oil on Ye Rui's hands and tried to stop him, but it was too late. Ye Rui had already jumped into Ye Nanxuan's arms.

Ye Nanxuan's cold eyes finally betrayed a hint of warmth as he looked at the little boy in his arms.

He touched Ye Rui's head and said with a smile, "I have something to take care of. Today is the weekend. Why are you up so early?"

"I am meeting my classmate and taking him to Daddy's company on a tour. Daddy, can you drive us there?"

Ye Rui hugged Ye Nanxuan and looked up. He blinked his big, watery eyes, pleading him with them.

Ye Nanxuan looked at his face and another face crossed his mind.

A stinking brat with a pair of phoenix eyes, just like his own!

That boy had looked so innocent and cute, yet he peed all over his face, making him the laughing stock of the entire Sea City. If not for the status and power of the Ye Family, he would not have been able to get the headlines removed in a short amount of time. He did not know what the public would have said about him otherwise.

Why was he thinking of that naughty boy right now?

Ye Nanxuan frowned slightly, his lips twisted.

Chu Mengxi had been observing Ye Nanxuan carefully the entire time.

Five years ago, Chu Mengxi had given birth to Ye Rui. To make sure that he had the best childhood and to prevent him from getting insecure about his family, Ye Nanxuan asked Ye Rui to call him Daddy, which also made Chu Mengxi feel like she had a chance with him, after all. But in the past five years, Ye Nanxuan had always been very cold with her.

Ye Nanxuan thought that being his father in name was enough to satisfy Ye Rui, but what he requested of him today surprised him. His brows furrowed into a knot.

Chu Mengxi walked forward and took Ye Rui from his arms, reprimanding the child. "You should know your place. Can a little kid like you so casually bring people into the company for a tour? What will we do if the company's secrets are leaked?"

Ye Rui began crying immediately after being scolded by Chu Mengxi.

Ye Nanxuan frowned and said,"What are you saying? He is the successor of Hengyu Group, so what if he goes to visit the company? Besides, how can a little child steal the company's secrets? Don't scold Ye Rui in the future like this, as if you have nothing else to do."

After this, Ye Nanxuan snatched Ye Rui from Chu Mengxi's hands, rubbed the hair on his head and said, "Hurry up and eat dinner. After dinner, Daddy will drive you there. Where is your classmate waiting for you? I'll come with you to pick him up."

"Great! Daddy is the best!"

Ye Rui burst into giggles, leaving a sloppy kiss on Ye Nanxuan's face. Ye Nanxuan did not seem mad at all. His soft and loving gaze made Chu Mengxi jealous.

If he looked at her like that, she would die willingly.

"Nanxuan, should I come with you two? Rui is still young and needs someone to take care of him. I'm his mother, so it would be better if I come with him,"

Chu Mengxi said quickly, a trace of excitement and eagerness in her voice.
