Chapter 219: All Heartaches

Han Qianye pulled out a chair and sat down. “When I was so careful and insisted on doing the appraisal, didn’t you not take it seriously at all?!”

...

Pei Jingzhou’s thin lips curled up. “Then pretend I didn’t ask.”

Han Qianye placed her hands flat on the table and leaned forward. “Are you deliberately trying to get information out of me?”

Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. “If I want to get information from you, Mrs. Pei, I wouldn’t let you notice.”

Han Qianye:

It was obvious that Jingzhou was behind this. Whether it was Xixi’s tampered identity or this child who suddenly appeared!

However, the more Han Qianye thought about it, the more curious she became. She could not suppress her curiosity anymore. She wanted to ask clearly. This brat was hiding too many things from everyone!

But she also knew very well that these words could not be asked directly in person. There had to be a reason why Jingzhou could play this game till now. Now Xixi was inside and would come out at any moment. It would be difficult to explain if Xixi heard her.

Han Qianye turned around and looked at the little guy who was eating breakfast obediently.

Originally, when she thought that this was Jingzhou’s illegitimate son yesterday, she actually did not like him a little. However, if the little guy was also related to Xixi by blood, then this was her darling-

“Baby Yaoyao,” Han Qianye shouted kindly. Yaoyao slowly raised his head and looked at the person who called him. Han Qianye’s heart almost melted. “I’m your grandmother.”

The expression on Yaoyao’s face represented his confusion at the title.

“Auntie.” Li Xiwu walked out of the bedroom and saw Han Qianye sitting at the dining table.

“Xixi.” Han Qianye immediately stood up and walked over. “Have you eaten breakfast?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “I’ve eaten. I went in to change just now.” As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Yaoyao was sitting at the dining table looking at her eagerly. Li Xiwu walked over. “Why are you only eating so little?”

Yaoyao is muffled. “I’m not hungry.”

Han Qianye said, “Little guy, you’re growing. You have to eat a little more in the morning to grow taller. You have to grow to your father’s… height.”

Yaoyao was already sulky, so hearing this made him feel even worse. “I don’t have a father.’

Han Qianye panicked. “Nonsense! How can you not have a father!”

Because she was too excited, Han Qianye did not control her anxious tone. Therefore, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou looked at Han Qianye at the same time. Han Qianye panicked.

Li Xiwu asked, “Auntie, have you seen Yaoyao’s father?”

Han Qianye subconsciously turned to look at Pei Jingzhou.

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Don’t look at me. I’ve never seen him before.’

Han Qianye cursed in her heart but maintained her composure. “I… I thought the little guy was talking nonsense just now.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “Yaoyao knows everything he needs to know about his background.” Han Qianye was puzzled. “What does he know?”

“I’m an orphan.”

It was Yaoyao who answered. There was no sadness on his face. In a very calm state, he answered this question in a very calm voice. Then, Yaoyao looked up at Han Qianye and said seriously, “I don’t have parents.”

Li Xiwu’s heart ached when she heard Yaoyao say this. She guessed that this was probably empathy. Yaoyao was still so young, but he knew very well that he had no parents.

Han Qianye, who already knew, felt her heart ache. “Who told you that?”

Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, “I was adopted.”

Han Qianye:

To a child with shallow knowledge, didn’t adopted children not have parents?

If he had parents, why would he be adopted? Han Qianye’s heart ached and she was angry. She looked up and glared at Pei Jingzhou. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her bag rang.

Han Qianye swallowed her words and touched Yaoyao’s face with heartache before answering the phone.

Li Xiwu sat down beside Yaoyao. “Although you’re an adopted child, there are many people who love you. Sometimes you don’t have to say clearly that you’re adopted because it’s not that important.”

But Yaoyao was serious. “Children can’t lie.”

Li Xiwu sighed and smiled bitterly. “This isn’t a lie. You don’t have to say it.”

Yaoyao seemed to understand. Li Xiwu felt upset. She looked up and met Pei Jingzhou’s eyes. He was looking at her quietly. After looking at each other silently for a moment, Li Xiwu spoke first, her tone serious. “Before Madam Di Xin comes to pick up Yaoyao, Fourth Brother has to take care of Yaoyao.” Pei Jingzhou asked, “Are you worried that I won’t treat him well?” Li Xiwu shook her head. Pei Jingzhou smiled. “Then what are you worried about?”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “He’s sensitive. Be more careful. Don’t always say things to scare him.”

Especially when Yaoyao said that he was adopted.

Li Xiwu felt especially upset. It was as uncomfortable as a knife cutting through the flesh of her heart.

For once, Pei Jingzhou did not refute like before. He replied gently, “Got it.”

Yaoyao secretly glanced at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou caught his glance and Yaoyao immediately looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Pei Jingzhou laughed. “I’ve always kept my promise to my wife. Don’t worry, I won’t sell you off for the time being.”

Yaoyao: “For the time being, does that mean you’ll sell me in the future?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “No.”

Yaoyao was relieved. “Then I’ll be good.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “That’s the best.”

Han Qianye answered a call from the production team.

The car was on its way out. Because she had rushed to Lake Lu yesterday and got into the production team’s car, today’s show was very considerate and asked if she needed to be picked up.

Of course not!

Because Han Qianye was already at Lake Lu, she could just go out with Li Xiwu later.

A few minutes later, she was ready to go out.

Li Xiwu reached Yaoyao and squatted down. She adjusted Yaoyao’s slightly turned collar. “What do you want to eat? Go get him to get it for you. If you want to hear a story, ask him to read it to you. In short, no matter what you want, just tell him.”

Yaoyao nodded obediently.

Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “Do you want to say goodbye now?”

Yaoyao shook his head.

Li Xiwu said, “Then when Madam Di Xin comes to pick you up, if you want to say goodbye to me, ask him to call me and say goodbye to me on the phone, okay?”

Yaoyao nodded.

Li Xiwu reached out and touched Yaoyao’s head. “Yaoyao is the cutest little friend I’ve ever met. I like you a lot.”

Yaoyao thought about it, then found the courage to ask, “Will we meet again?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “Of course we will.

Yaoyao was relieved. As long as they could meet again.

When Li Xiwu and Han Qianye went out, although Yaoyao was reluctant to part, he was also very obedient and stood quietly. When the door closed,

Yaoyao turned around and saw a very tall figure standing in front of him.

Yaoyao looked up with difficulty and realized that his face was almost facing the sky.
