Chapter 61: Readers, We Bear Witness!

Seeing Qin Sikai’s serious expression, Chu Xi felt even more nervous.

"Y-You, speak! Let go of me first! This kind of tugging and pulling is not proper!"

Qin Sikai was so angry he laughed.

Helplessly, he released Chu Xi and sat down across from her, his gaze never leaving her pretty face.

"Xixi, look at me!"

Chu Xi’s lowered eyelids were forced up against her will.

"Wanning is my daughter!" Qin Sikai said every single word with utmost solemnity.

Chu Xi completely froze on the spot, utterly blasted by those words into not knowing how to react.

"Also, I am not married, I have no fiancée, and I only have a junior sister who bore my daughter but hasn't been brought home as a wife yet!"

"So, Xixi, are you willing to give me a chance to take care of both you and our daughter?"

"I know you've been wronged all these years! I'm sorry!" Qin Sikai apologized solemnly, speaking straight from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Xi could not stop her tears as large drops fell down.

Qin Sikai stopped speaking. He just gently wiped away her tears while quietly staying by her side.

After a long while, Chu Xi finally found her voice.

"Ningbao knows?" Although it was phrased as a question, she sounded certain.

"Mhm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see you. She told us to sort it out ourselves!"

At this moment, Chu Xi just wanted some peace and quiet. "Senior Brother, can you go back first? I want to be alone for a while!"

Qin Sikai wanted to say more, but Chu Xi was clearly incapable of continuing the conversation right now. He helped her lie down comfortably, entered his phone number into Chu Xi's phone, and then left with obvious reluctance.

"Xixi, take your time. From now on, every single day, I will be here."

Left all alone in the room, Chu Xi curled up beneath the covers and cried bitterly.

Grievance, relief, astonishment, hesitation—these complex emotions completely broke through the barricade inside her heart.

She had suffered grievances for more than twenty years; why had her Senior Brother only found her now?!

She felt a deep sense of relief that Ningbao's father was the only person she had ever loved from childhood to now!

She was astonished for the same reason. Although she still didn't know what had happened back then, since her daughter had confirmed it, she chose to believe it.

She hesitated—were they truly able to be together? She was no longer her youthful self from back then; her current self, aside from barely surviving, was utterly useless. How could she possibly be worthy of her Senior Brother?!

Lost in these thoughts, she eventually drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Knowing that her biological father had gone to find her mother, Chu Wan'ning did not contact her again that day.

They needed time; she only needed to respect their choices.

***

In the blink of an eye, Friday arrived—the day of Lu Siqing's parent-teacher conference.

This was a rare day when Chu Wan'ning woke up early.

Because she had deliberately set an alarm!

"Hubby, hug me!" Chu Wan'ning said with her eyes closed.

Seeing her like this, Lu Si宴 pulled her into his arms with doting affection.

"Sleep a little longer?"

"No! I can't be late!" Inwardly, she was complaining about why their school's parent-teacher conference had to be held bright and early in the morning!

"Then shall I help you get dressed and wash up?"

Chu Wan'ning nodded immediately.

Thus, throughout the entire morning, Chu Wan'ning clung to Lu Si宴 like a koala bear, testing Lu Si宴's self-restraint to its absolute limits.

When she was finally all packed and ready, he nibbled on her earlobe.

"Wife, the cheongsam I picked out for you today is very—"

"Rip! Go ahead and rip it!"

"Little thing, you've even learned to buzz in with the answer now, huh?"

Chu Wan'ning quickly covered his mouth with a kiss!

"I'm hungry!"

After a lingering and passionate kiss, Chu Wan'ning patted her stomach and said.

Waking up early always made one hungry!

"I'll carry you downstairs!"

"No, no, Qingbao is still down there!"

Completely awake now, Chu Wan'ning jumped down from Lu Si宴.

Downstairs, Lu Siqing, dressed in a small suit and sitting impeccably straight, kept glancing toward the stairs and the elevator.

From time to time, he would ask a couple of questions.

"Uncle Lubei, is my sister-in-law able to wake up? Sigh, this time is really hard on her. Why don't you go instead? Anyway, you used to be the one who went before!"

"Butler grandpa, has the breakfast my sister-in-law likes been prepared? Make sure to cook a little extra for her!"

"Aiyo, my big brother is truly lazy, still hasn't woken up by now!"

Just as his voice fell, the elevator doors opened.

Lu Si宴 took Chu Wan'ning's hand and walked toward the dining room.

"Sister-in-law~"

Lu Siqing's very strands of hair seemed to be dancing with joy as he trotted over toward Chu Wan'ning.

However, without a shadow of a doubt, he was intercepted!

Lu Si宴 directly grabbed him by the back of his collar and hoisted him aside.

Lu Siqing wailed and shouted in protest.

"Hey hey hey, Great Demon King, my custom-made suit!"

"Wuwuwu, sister-in-law, hurry up and manage your man, he's trying to start a rebellion!"

"Let me go, what's wrong with me hugging my sister-in-law!"

"Lubei!"

Lubei, who had been watching the show with great amusement, was suddenly called out!

"Coming, coming!"

He hurriedly rescued Lu Siqing from Lu Si宴's grip.

"Young Master, let's hurry up and eat! Your sister-in-law is hungry!"

"Right, right, my sister-in-law is hungry, put me down!"

By this time, Lu Si宴 had already led Chu Wan'ning to the dining table.

Lu Siqing straightened his little suit, even ran over to check his reflection in a mirror, and then returned to his seat looking quite satisfied.

Because he was eating with Chu Wan'ning, Lu Siqing actually ate quite a bit during this meal.

Chu Wan'ning was also hungry and ate a lot, while Lu Si宴 ate his usual, meager amount!

Chu Wan'ning couldn't help wondering how someone as big as him could eat just a little bit more than her and still have an endless supply of physical strength!

"Wife, what are you staring at me for?"

"I was thinking about your stamina," Chu Wan'ning blurted out.

Then she immediately clapped her hands over her mouth!

Lu Si宴 raised an eyebrow. "Wife, aren't you the one most qualified to speak about my stamina? Hmm?"

Chu Wan'ning pouted. "Stop talking! Eat! Eat more!" She picked up some of Lu Si宴's favorite food and placed it on his plate. "Eat up and let's go!"

A smile lingering on his lips, Lu Si宴 continued eating with graceful movements.

After breakfast, the family of three got into the car in high spirits.

"Sister-in-law, you are definitely the prettiest parent here today!"

"Nobody is as pretty as you!"

"Right, Great Demon King?"

After saying this, he stretched his little head out to ask Lu Si宴.

Lu Si宴 didn't even spare him a glance. "Does it need you to tell me that my wife is pretty?"

"Sister-in-law is someone I found! I don't know who was the one who didn't want her at first, hmph!"

He, Lu Siqing, had a temper too, you know!

That was one thing Lu Si宴 couldn't refute!

With a wave of his large hand, he pulled Chu Wan'ning into his embrace. "Wife, don't listen to him. The very first time I set eyes on you, I had already decided on you!"

Author: Hehehe~ But that just proves Lu Si宴 fell in love at first sight, which was actually taking a fancy to her looks!

Readers: Yes, yes, we can testify!

Chu Wan'ning leaned naturally into Lu Si宴's embrace. "Then you're admitting that your reason for getting the marriage certificate back then was just a delaying tactic, and you never once thought about letting me go?"

"Wife, in our Lu family, there are only widowed spouses, no divorced ones! You can only ever be mine!"
