Chapter 433: Chapter 433 Is He Rong Shaoze’s Child?

Lin Xinlan gave a slight smile, "So what if I have a child? Do you have a problem with that?"

Qiao Yiyang suddenly stiffened, a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by embarrassment, "No, it’s not that I mind, I just..."

He paused, looking at Lin Xinlan, trying to discern something from her expression.

However, he couldn’t make anything out.

Suddenly, he felt like he couldn’t see through her. This woman’s thoughts were too enigmatic.

She seemed heartless, yet she gave the illusion that she cared deeply, leaving one unable to let go and completely mystified.

After calming his emotions, he asked again, "Who is his father?"

That was indeed the crux of the matter!

Lin Xinlan, holding the child, replied softly, "You should have guessed by now."

Qiao Yiyang’s eyes sharpened, his grip tightened, and the cup shattered with a bang!

The abrupt sound of breaking, filled with a violent panic.

Xiaocong, hearing the noise, stiffened like a startled little animal, his ears prickling up.

Lin Xinlan quickly comforted him, "Mommy is acting with the uncles, this is Mommy’s job. Whatever you hear in a while, it’s all pretend, okay?"

"What is acting?" Xiaocong asked, puzzled.

"It’s when people perform stories, other people’s stories."

"Oh, I get it. Is it like the stories Mommy tells me at night?" he asked with a smile, his body relaxing.

If it was all about telling stories, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

Lin Xinlan smiled approvingly, "Xiaocong is so smart. It’s just like telling stories. However, the stories Mommy and the uncles perform are adult stories, not for children to hear, they’re not nice to listen to."

He nodded, not quite understanding.

He had been listening to their conversation all the while. Indeed, their talk was very strange, and he found it quite boring; so it was all about adult stories.

These stories were not at all interesting and were nothing like the fairy tales his mother told.

"Hmm, Xiaocong is a child, so I won’t listen," he said earnestly, showing a look of comprehension.

Lin Xinlan smiled tenderly, kissing his cheek.

Qiao Yiyang watched her smiling face, his gaze lingering.

He had always felt that she had the allure of a young woman and the radiance of maternal love, always giving off a warm feeling.

Now he finally understood why she had those qualities about her—she was indeed a mother, with a child of her own...

And her smile towards the child, so warm and kind, was so dazzling that it made him feel a twinge of envy and jealousy.

Rong Mingyan glanced at Qiao Yiyang, then turned to Lin Xinlan and asked coldly, "What exactly do you want to tell us? Speak up, I don’t have much time to waste with you."

Qiao Yiyang also asked, "Xinlan, is he Rong Shaoze’s child?"

Lin Xinlan lowered her gaze and gave a slight nod.

"I don’t believe it!" Qiao Yiyang suddenly stood up, his face darkening as he faced her.

"How could you possibly have a child with him, and one so big at that! You’re lying to me, aren’t you?!"

It was not only impossible for him to accept. At first, even Rong Guangguo had been unable to accept it.

The idea was simply too astonishing.

After all, Lin Xinlan and Rong Shaoze had known each other for less than a few months. How could it be that suddenly there was such a big child between them?

Lin Xinlan whispered a few words into Xiaocong’s ear, and he giggled, nodding vigorously.

Mommy said that these two uncles were not right in the head, even less sensible than him, so they should understand their absurd ravings.
