Chapter 607 - 605: Xi Yao is my mom, right?
"Not bad." They seldom met, and their meetings were usually just exchanging a few pleasantries.
"I actually didn’t expect your brother to visit me. He just asked me a few questions, confirmed I was okay, and then left. It didn’t seem like there was anything special." Gu Xiyao explained to him, as if justifying herself, "I didn’t speak much either; I stayed for less than five minutes."
"Hmm, previously Madam did intentionally make things difficult for you. Your brother came to see you, which shows that there’s no real rift between us brothers. Besides, the misunderstandings from back then have long passed."
"Madam making things difficult for me is probably because of Little Uncle. Now that I think about it, given Madam’s attitude, if my betrothed had been your brother, she might not have agreed either."
"That’s not necessarily true."
"Why?" Gu Xiyao maintained a standard gentlewoman’s smile while looking at him.
Ning Zesheng glanced at her but remained silent.
Gu Xiyao didn’t say anything more, keeping a faint smile on her face as she gazed ahead. They were always like this, inevitably ending conversations abruptly regardless of the topic.
Upon reaching Gu Xiyao’s residence, Ning Zesheng only helped with placing some things when Little Bun face stepped inside and said, "So, this is where Sister Xiyao lives? So nice!"
"This is your Uncle Ning’s house, I’m just staying here temporarily." Gu Xiyao replied with a smile.
"Do you live here together with Uncle Ning?" Little Bun face cast a wary glance at Ning Zesheng, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"No," Gu Xiyao shook her head, "Your Uncle Ning has his own place."
She smiled gently, "Nian Nian, help Uncle Ning outside a bit, I’ll go get something for your dad." She looked at Lu Beichen, "Little Uncle, come over."
Only then did Lu Beichen follow her quietly.
After they left, Little Bun face approached Ning Zesheng and scrutinized him from head to toe. Ning Zesheng looked at this miniature version of Lu Beichen, feeling somewhat awkward, and sat on the sofa nearby.
Little Bun face crossed his arms and looked directly at him, "You bought such a big house for Xi Yao to live in, you must like her a lot, right?"
Ning Zesheng didn’t anticipate a child asking such questions. He hadn’t really interacted much with Lu Sinian, only heard he was an intelligent child, and wasn’t sure how to respond, so he just looked at him.
"I think you, although not as handsome as my dad, not as tall as my dad, are actually very handsome and nice too, just really quiet and cold. But towards us, fine, yet isn’t Xi Yao your fiancée?"
Ning Zesheng realized then that this child was here to support Gu Xiyao.
"Do you really like Gu Xiyao?" Ning Zesheng asked.
"She’s my..." Lu Sinian puckered his lips, "Of course, I like her."
Ning Zesheng cut straight to the point, "Who told you she is your mother?"
Little Bun face paused, surprised at his directness. Not many dared to directly mention this topic. He stepped forward, glanced back seeing no one around, and asked quietly, "Isn’t it true? Xi Yao is my mom, and dad gave her to you in marriage, you must be aware, right?"
"So you’re speculating too?" Ning Zesheng found conversing with this child sometimes better than with adults.
"No, I’m quite sure. Our eyes are exactly the same, blood type is the same too, and everyone says she’s my mom. There’s no smoke without fire, don’t you know?" Little Bun face spoke confidently.
Ning Zesheng took a look at him. Indeed, he resembled Lu Beichen everywhere but the eyes—they were almost a mirror image of Gu Xiyao’s.
If, Lu Sinian indeed was born to Lu Beichen and Gu Xiyao, then why did they marry Gu Xiyao into the Ning Family? What exactly happened back then?
