Chapter 556: Sour, Unskilled, and Superfluous...
Qin Nanyu felt a bit guilty under Ji Weitian’s penetrating gaze, so he coughed twice to disguise his emotions.
"I admit that I don’t really like that stinky... I mean Ruirui, but after all, he is my son, and I do love him deeply in my heart."
Ji Weitian wore the expression of someone watching quietly, as if to see how long you could keep up the act, and asked indifferently.
"How about compared to your daughter?"
"Of course, it’s... the same. Do I look like the kind of person who favors daughters over sons?" Qin Nanyu almost bit his own tongue.
"You are," Ji Weitian bluntly tore his pretense apart.
She still remembered, from their very first encounter, his completely different attitudes toward his son and daughter!
At one point, she even suspected he was mistaken, assuming the daughter to be his and the son hers.
That talk about treating them equally—he dared to say it, but she certainly wouldn’t believe it.
Ji Weitian didn’t argue with Qin Nanyu over such a pointless topic; if he insisted on saying he loved his son, let him believe he loved his son.
She quietly bowed her head and sipped her soup.
After she finished her bowl of soup, Qin Nanyu was still brewing his emotions, seeming like he had a belly full of words to say, yet afraid he might frighten her.
Ji Weitian pulled out a paper towel, wiped her mouth, and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"There’s nothing much, just want to talk to you about the kids’ education," Qin Nanyu declared solemnly, spouting nonsense.
Ji Weitian: "???"
They had no relationship to speak of, so why discuss the children’s education together?
Ji Weitian’s confusion went unanswered; Qin Nanyu had already launched into his performance—
"To be honest, although I love my son very much, you’ve seen it, Ruirui doesn’t really need me."
Qin Nanyu, for once, spoke a genuine truth, a fact that Ji Weitian highly conceded—her son did not love him.
He cleared his throat and continued.
"Ruirui is only four years old; even if he’s sensible, he’s still a child. Don’t you think... he actually needs a mother?"
"I have a mother already!"
It wasn’t Ji Weitian who responded this time, but the little guy sitting beside her.
Hearing Qin Nanyu insinuating that he wanted to find him a mother, he turned towards Ji Weitian with his handsome little face, his large, pitch-black eyes shimmering.
He only wanted his own mother!
Ji Weitian also raised her smile, continuing right along his line of thinking.
"Did you hear that? My son says he already has a mother."
Her tone was light, ambiguous.
If Qin Nanyu hadn’t already seen those two DNA test reports, he might have thought she was just humoring the little one.
The scene before him, so full of warmth, left no room for him to interject.
He now felt like a pickled fish—sour, trivial, and superfluous...
Seeing that Ji Weitian had no intention of acknowledging him as her "biological father," Qin Nanyu steadied his mind and took another approach.
"What I mean is, if you are willing to be Ruirui’s mother? Of course, I’d have no objections. In fact, not just Ruirui, I also feel for you ..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when Ji Weitian ignored him.
She lowered her head and continued eating, occasionally making sure the two little ones were taken care of, serving them food without sparing him a glance.
Qin Nanyu tried to cough to draw her attention; he coughed until his throat was hoarse, and finally, Ji Weitian looked up at him.
He hastily seized the opportunity to speak.
"Actually, I meant to say, Yaoyao is also only four years old. Don’t you think she also needs a father who loves her?"
