Since the day they parted on bad terms, Ren Zhouyuan and Leonid had been in a cold war for a week.

This time, Leonid didn't beg for forgiveness shamelessly like he used to. Instead, he gave Ren Zhouyuan enough space to calm down and let him think about their relationship thoroughly.

Ren Zhouyuan was really angry with Leonid's behavior. Even if Leonid's last words had touched him, it was nothing compared to what Leonid had done. Not to mention, Ren Zhouyuan had been thinking about something else, and he had not been nice to Leonid for the past few days.

Ren Zhouyuan went back to his room to sleep for the past few nights, but in order not to worry Anan, he still maintained his attitude towards Leonid at home. But the sensitive Anan immediately noticed the change in the two adults.

On the second night after Ren Zhouyuan went back to his room to sleep with Anan, Anan asked him carefully, "Dad, aren't you going to sleep in Big Daddy's room tonight?"

Ren Zhouyuan's expression was very interesting at that moment. He wanted to fool Anan like he used to, but when he looked into Anan's eyes, he could only nod in the end.

Little Anan said thoughtfully, "Then Big Daddy must be angry with you. Yeah!

That's great! Dad will sleep with me tonight! "

How could Ren Zhouyuan not see that his son was trying to make him happy? At that moment, he felt both warm and guilty. He felt that these two adults were really too improper.

Ren Zhouyuan still had Anan to accompany him, but Leonid wasn't so lucky.

Since the first night of the cold war, he felt very lonely and couldn't sleep. He had been sleeping alone for more than 30 years, but after sleeping with Ren Zhouyuan for a while, he couldn't get used to being alone anymore.

Thus, for nearly a week, he locked himself in his study every night and exhausted himself with a lot of work before dragging his heavy footsteps back to his room.

However, when he lay in bed, his active brain made it even harder for him to sleep. He couldn't help but think of the argument between the two of them that night.

For the first few days, he still felt that although his methods were wrong, his starting point was not wrong. Afterwards, he sincerely admitted that he had done wrong. He did not understand why Ren Zhouyuan was still so angry with him.

He grew up in a Russian family. Russians value family after marriage, and one of the most important components of a family is the fruit of love between husband and wife.

Whether it was his family or his friends, everyone could have as many children as they wanted. He had never understood China's policy of limiting the number of children, nor did he understand why Ren Zhouyuan did not want to have one more child with him.

At first, he thought that Ren Zhouyuan didn't love him enough. If he loved him enough, he wouldn't have rejected his request and wouldn't have been so angry.

But after a few days of being at a dead end, he began to realize that he had made a mistake.

His mistake was that he intended to tie him down with a child, and he shouldn't have tried to put a baby in Ren Zhouyuan's belly without his consent.

He didn't consider that Ren Zhouyuan would be disgusted with this matter. As he said, he was not a woman, so he had no obligation to have a child for him. Even if he was a woman, the law did not require a couple to have a child after marriage.

The arrival of a new life should be filled with love and expectations for the two people. It should not be used as a weapon to blackmail for one's own selfish desires.

Sometimes, people were such greedy creatures. When he couldn't get Ren Zhouyuan, as long as he thought that Ren Zhouyuan would respond to him, he would be overjoyed. But when Ren Zhouyuan really agreed to be with him, and with the unexpected surprise of the Anan, he wanted more. He wanted Ren Zhouyuan to belong to him wholeheartedly, so that he would never be able to escape from his grasp.

He had to think twice, and in the end, he failed miserably.

After finally figuring it out, Leonid looked back at this matter again, and suddenly realized how despicable his actions were.

He used the self-righteous "correctness" in the name of "love" to hurt the person he loved the most, and he even said so many ridiculous words to cover up his crime. After so many days, he finally came to his senses.

After figuring it out, Leonid almost couldn't help but want to knock on Ren Zhouyuan's door for a second and tell him loudly that he was wrong. And this time, no matter whether Ren Zhouyuan forgave him or not, he couldn't hurt his heart again.

But the wish was beautiful, and the reality was cruel.

Leonid said that he wanted everyone to calm down, so Ren Zhouyuan calmed down. He knew very well that he didn't want to see Leonid, at least before the end of the banquet, and before he might see Leonid's parents, he didn't want to have any more disputes with him.

But no matter how difficult the days were, time didn't stop for anyone. While the two were still in a cold war, the year-end summary meeting came as scheduled.

After Ren Zhouyuan knew that Leonid's family was coming, he resisted this banquet in his heart.

When he thought of the fact that the two of them were still in a cold war, and he had to watch Leonid attend the party with a "female companion" who he didn't know, and he had to see the happy scene of their family, his face turned even uglier.

But he also wanted to see who this person was, and he wanted to maliciously bring Anan to the scene and expose the fact that he and Leonid had a son. When he thought of the surprised faces of his family, he felt a burst of pleasure.

Since the two were still in a cold war, Ren Zhouyuan naturally wouldn't ask Leonid about the banquet. But when he walked out of the house with Anan, who was dressed, Leonid's car was already waiting outside.

He paused, looked down at Anan who was holding his hand, and finally opened the door of the back seat silently.

When they arrived at the banquet, many guests had already arrived. Ren Zhouyuan got out of the car with Anan in his arms, held his hand, and followed behind Leonid. When he didn't notice, his eyes scanned everyone present like a scanner.

He felt that everyone here was like Leonid's "female companion." Once he saw a man standing next to a woman who was alone, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Because it was the year-end summary meeting, all companies and institutions that had cooperated with Wei Qi were invited to this meeting.

Ren Zhouyuan's gaze never stopped. Occasionally, his attention would be attracted by some women, and occasionally he would pay attention to foreigners who seemed to be Leonid's family. No matter which side appeared, he couldn't face them calmly.

Leonid didn't know what he was thinking. As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Na and the others. Seeing that they wanted to come forward, Leonid stopped them with a look. When they saw Ren Zhouyuan and Anan beside him, they could only suppress their curiosity and stand far away in a corner.

After so many days, Leonid couldn't stand Ren Zhouyuan ignoring him. He looked around the banquet hall and called Luo En over. After whispering a few words in his ear, Luo En left holding Anan's hand.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't notice Luo En at all. When Anan's hand moved, he suddenly reacted. Seeing that it was Luo En, he relaxed and greeted him.

Luo En said, "I'll take Anan to the room to rest first. There are too many people now. I'll take him out when it's about to start."

Ren Zhouyuan frowned, but he didn't refuse. He nodded, bent down, and said a few words to Anan. Then he let Luo En take Anan away.

As soon as Anan left, Ren Zhouyuan felt a little embarrassed standing next to Leonid. However, when he was about to walk away silently, Leonid suddenly reached out, took his hand, and led him in another direction.

"Where, where are we going?"

Ren Zhouyuan wanted to pull his hand back, but Leonid held it so tightly that he couldn't break free. Seeing that the people around them began to look in their direction, Ren Zhouyuan had to follow him obediently.

Leonid took Ren Zhouyuan to another room. There was no one in the room. He took him to the sofa and sat down. Then he squatted in front of him, held his hand tightly with both hands, and looked into his eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

Ren Zhouyuan was confused by Leonid's sudden action. Before he could react, he heard Leonid's endless apologies, and he was even more confused.

Ren Zhouyuan couldn't help but interrupt him. "Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Leonid said matter-of-factly, "Apologizing."

"Why?" Ren Zhouyuan asked.

Leonid looked at him a little strangely. "Because I did something wrong, so I'm apologizing. I hope you can forgive me."

Ren Zhouyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He began to apologize without saying anything. So why did he think they were in a cold war during this time?

He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me first, what do you think you did wrong?"

Leonid said obediently, "I shouldn't have asked for your opinion. I knew you didn't want to, but I still used such a despicable way to make you pregnant."

Very good. It sounds like something like that.

"But do you think you had good intentions when you made me pregnant?" Ren Zhouyuan reminded him of what he said that night.

After so many days of self-reflection, Leonid had long realized that his purpose was not good and his means were not right, so he replied, "No matter what my intentions were, I shouldn't have done such a thing without asking for your opinion. I didn't respect your opinion. I was wrong."

Seeing Leonid squatting in front of him and apologizing so methodically, Ren Zhouyuan's anger, which had been suppressed for so many days, was instantly extinguished.

Not only Leonid, but Ren Zhouyuan had also been self-reflecting during this time. He kept questioning what caused Leonid to do such a thing, and the final conclusion was that —

Both of them were not confident in this relationship.

His lack of confidence stemmed from his family background and the fact that he had always been in an advantageous position in this relationship.

But what about Leonid?

He had a happy family, a good life, and was an object of respect wherever he went, but he was also not self-confident.

Ren Zhouyuan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why. Until now, when he saw Leonid squatting in front of him, humbly begging for his forgiveness, he felt that he seemed to understand the reason for his lack of confidence.
