Her face was deathly pale, and her lips trembled. She couldn't speak for a long time. She felt her body getting colder and colder, and she leaned weakly against the door.
"You … What did you say … You … I …" Ruan Danchen stammered. She couldn't even form a complete sentence. She didn't know what to say.
How did Qi Chenglin know?
Qi Chenglin slowly took half a step back, his expression indifferent. "Go in."
"Wait a minute!" Ruan Danchen couldn't care less. She grabbed his shirt. "Why do you ask?"
"A woman is so nice to my son for no reason. As a responsible father, of course I have to pay more attention," Qi Chenglin said solemnly.
Ruan Danchen knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. It was useless to play dumb.
She was not angry because of this, and she had no right to be angry. Instead, she was glad that Qi Chenglin was so cautious.
"Then tell me, You Xuan, he … is he my son?" Ruan Danchen asked with reddened eyes. Seeing Qi Chenglin's expressionless face, she was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "I'm not trying to use You Xuan for anything. I just want to know if he is … I know he is, but I want to be sure. I won't tell anyone, and I won't use this kind of thing to cling onto the Qi family or you. I just want to know that my child … is fine and healthy. I just want to make sure … I won't tell him nonsense. He's still so young, and I don't want him to bear all this pressure. As long as he can be carefree, I'm willing to do anything. "
"Didn't you already do the appraisal? Let's wait for the results. That evidence is more reliable than anything else, "Qi Chenglin said solemnly.
Ruan Danchen let go of her hand. "I'm sorry … I'm sorry …"
She didn't say what she was sorry about. Qi Chenglin raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. He said softly, "I'm just telling you that I know you don't have to hide this from me. There's no other meaning. "
Ruan Danchen didn't expect that Qi Chenglin didn't want to confront her or criticize her.
She was a little confused. "Then … can I still see him in the future? I won't say anything to him. I just want to see him. "
"Even if the report proves that he's not your son?" Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ruan Danchen was stunned. In fact, after she confirmed it herself, she really didn't doubt it. To her, that report was just more solid evidence.
But she still nodded. "Even if he isn't."
Even if You Xuan really wasn't her son, she thought, You Xuan was so cute. If her son really died, but if he didn't die back then, he would be the same age as You Xuan now. She would be happy to see You Xuan as her own son.
Qi Chenglin nodded lightly and said, "He likes you very much, as long as you don't let him down."
"Thank you …" Ruan Danchen said with a sigh of relief.
Qi Chenglin smiled and wiped away her tears. "Go in."
Ruan Danchen turned around and pushed the door open, but she froze.
"What's wrong?" Qi Chenglin asked, seeing that she was not moving.
"…" Ruan Danchen said helplessly, "I just wanted to send you off from inside the door. I didn't expect you to drag me out, so I didn't bring the key."
Qi Chenglin: "…"
Without saying a word, he immediately reached out to press the doorbell.
"You woke You Xuan up." Ruan Danchen grabbed his arm, but it was too late. The doorbell had already rung.
But she didn't see Qi Youxuan come out to open the door.
Ruan Danchen thought that the little guy might be asleep, or maybe he thought she was at home, so she ignored him.
Qi Chenglin took out his phone from his trouser pocket and dialed. After a while, he said, "Stop pretending. Come out and open the door."
"…"
Not long after, the door opened. Ruan Danchen looked down and saw that the little guy had changed into his pajamas. His white and tender hand was holding a sonic toothbrush. The toothbrush seemed especially big in his hand.
The special children's toothbrush vibrated in his mouth, and his mouth was full of toothpaste foam.
"Eh, daddy, why are you outside? When did you go out?" Qi Youxuan asked with the toothbrush in his mouth, spraying toothpaste foam.
Qi Chenglin pursed his lips. His acting was quite good.
Ruan Danchen: "…"
Qi Youxuan suddenly remembered that he was pretending to be asleep just now. It was not good for him to brush his teeth now. He immediately leaned against the wall listlessly and said, "Auntie Ruan, I usually have a good habit of brushing my teeth in the morning and night. I can't sleep well if I don't brush my teeth. I suddenly remembered that I haven't brushed my teeth yet, so I got up. "
Ruan Danchen: "…"
"Pretend, continue pretending." Qi Chenglin pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Qi Youxuan was angry. What kind of father was this? He kept undermining him, and he had always been helping him!
"Daddy, I'm still quite sleepy. I don't have the energy to go home," Qi Youxuan said again.
Qi Chenglin sneered and said, "I didn't say I would bring you home. Stay here tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, daddy!" Qi Youxuan was so happy that he forgot his mouth full of toothpaste foam. He suddenly spat out a big mouthful. Fortunately, he did not spray Ruan Danchen and Qi Chenglin.
He squatted down embarrassedly and wiped the toothpaste foam clean with his bare hands. This careful action made Ruan Danchen feel distressed, and she quickly pulled him up.
"Don't wipe it. I'll wipe the floor in a while anyway." Ruan Danchen said, "Go brush your teeth."
The little fellow saw that Auntie Ruan had agreed to let him stay, so he immediately ran to the bathroom happily.
Ruan Danchen watched the little fellow enter the bathroom and close the door. She turned to Qi Chenglin and said, "Thank you."
Qi Chenglin put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Ruan Danchen, who was standing at the door. Her eyes were still a little red, and her big eyes looked clear and innocent. Her skin was fair, and her nose was a little red from crying just now, but it could not hide her clean temperament.
At this time, her eyes and nose were red and innocent, which was really pitiful.
Qi Chenglin felt a little hot in his heart. What he wanted to do most at this moment was to press her against the wall and kiss her wantonly.
But on the surface, he was still indifferent. He nodded and turned to leave.
Ruan Danchen closed the door. When she returned to the room, Qi Youxuan had already washed up and lay back on her bed. Ruan Danchen quickly mopped the floor of the house, then took a bath, changed into pajamas, and dried her hair.
When she returned to the bedroom, the little fellow was really asleep. Hearing the sound, he rubbed his eyes with his little hands and opened his eyes sleepily.
Seeing Ruan Danchen, he hurriedly moved inside and said expectantly, "Auntie Ruan, can you tell me a bedtime story? I want to listen to Ultraman fight the little monster. "
"…" How could Ruan Danchen? She had never even watched Ultraman on TV, but she still couldn't bear to refuse the little fellow. She could only tell Qi You the story according to the monster disaster movies she had seen.
Qi Youxuan fell asleep after a while, and Ruan Danchen could still hear his faint murmurs. "Auntie Ruan, can you be my stepmother?"
Ruan Danchen looked down at the little fellow in her arms and kissed his forehead lovingly. She didn't expect that one day, she would have the opportunity to sleep with him in her arms.
Qi Chenglin returned to the garden. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Guan Liya coming over.
"Mom, why are you here?" Qi Chenglin asked, changing into slippers.
"Isn't Auntie Chen's son working in Germany? When he came back from vacation, he brought back a lot of snacks. Auntie Chen sent some to the old house for You Xuan to eat. The old lady sent Xiao Fan home. I brought them to You Xuan at night, but you weren't home. " Guan Liya said. She looked behind Qi Chenglin and didn't see Qi Youxuan. The door of the house was also closed, so she asked, "Where's You Xuan?"
"At a friend's house." Qi Chenglin changed into slippers and came in, saying lightly.
"Friend? What friend? You're so relieved to leave You Xuan there alone? What's wrong with you? You don't usually treat him like a child, but don't forget that he's only six years old. You're so relieved to let him sleep alone in a strange place. What if he gets scared at night? Tell me, when will you be more attentive to your son? He's such a young child. How can he not look for his family when he wakes up in the middle of the night? " Guan Liya was angry. Qi Chenglin wasn't such an irresponsible person, but what did he do tonight!
As Guan Liya said this, she returned to the living room, grabbed her bag from the sofa, and walked out. She even grabbed Qi Chenglin's arm. "No, which friend's house did you leave him at? Let's go get him. "
"Mom, he wanted to stay. Even if you went, he wouldn't come back with you." Qi Chenglin stopped Guan Liya. "In order to stay, he even put on an act."
When Guan Liya heard this, she couldn't help but be curious. "Whose house did he leave him at? You Xuan actually asked to stay there."
The corner of Qi Chenglin's mouth curled up slightly. Guan Liya had a flash of inspiration. She asked expectantly and nervously, "Could it be the stepmother that You Xuan has been talking about?
Without waiting for Qi Chenglin to answer, Guan Liya had already grabbed Qi Chenglin's arm excitedly. "Do you really have a girl you like now? What does she do? Where is she from? What kind of family does she have? What's her character like? You're so relieved to leave You Xuan there? Does You Xuan like her that much? "
Qi Chenglin patiently waited for Guan Liya to finish asking all the questions, and then answered them one by one, "I have a very good impression of her. I want to develop a serious relationship with her. Her hometown should be in Shuo City, but she followed her mother to B City when she was still a baby. Now, she is an ordinary employee in a small company. She's the only one at home now. I trust her character, so I'm relieved to leave You Xuan there. You Xuan really likes her. "
Guan Liya was surprised. She didn't expect Qi Chenglin to know that girl so well.
You Xuan had mentioned it once in the old house, but at that time, Qi Chenglin refused to say anything. Now, he actually explained it to her in detail. Had it developed to a certain extent?
"Then when will you bring her back? Since you like her, I believe that your taste is not wrong. I don't have any other requirements for that girl, as long as she treats You Xuan well and doesn't let him suffer. After all, he's not her biological son. I don't ask her to love You Xuan as her biological son, but at least it's almost the same. " Guan Liya was anxious. Although she trusted Qi Chenglin's taste, it was common for men to be confused about women's matters. What if the other party pretended to be very good?
