Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Suddenly Gained a Son Out of Nowhere

"...Yes." She quickly lowered her head and hurried out of the room.

Lin Xinlan was sitting on the sofa, holding Xiaocong and whispering into his ear to make him happy. When she saw Rong Shaoze standing in front of her, she immediately turned cold, her gaze indifferently meeting his.

Rong Shaoze felt guilty under her stare, and his confidence dipped.

He glanced at her and had no choice but to shift his gaze to Xiaocong, staring intently at him.

The features of the little boy closely resembled his own. A strong intuition told him that the child was his, absolutely his.

But who could tell him when this child was born, how he had grown up?

If he didn’t know he was sensible and of sound mind, he would definitely suspect he had split personality disorder. Or perhaps, this world had become fantastical.

Rong Shaoze’s gaze was sharp, and no one could remain composed and indifferent under it.

But this little guy in front of him, not even five years old, seemed completely unaffected by his stare, utterly ignoring him.

Rong Shaoze felt his authority was being challenged, defied. If the child really was his, it would be troublesome.

If he wasn’t afraid of him at such a young age, how would he discipline him in the future?

Yet the thought that the child might be his gave him a myriad of complex emotions: shock, disbelief, excitement, joy, and confusion.

Out of the blue, having a four-year-old son, would surely overwhelm anyone.

Shaking off the complex feelings in his heart, he looked at Xiaocong indifferently and said coldly, "I’m asking you, what do you call Lin Xinlan?"

Not daring to ask an adult, he questioned a child.

Children do not lie.

He didn’t dare ask Lin Xinlan, also because he feared she would say the boy wasn’t his.

He couldn’t bear such an outcome. He had realized by now how little he knew about her past.

When they got married, he only knew she was unmarried. But being unmarried doesn’t mean she couldn’t have children!

The child must have been hers from before, and she kept it a secret from him, never telling him about her child. Thinking about that made him both angry and sad.

If he had known earlier, he’d have thoroughly investigated her ancestry up to the eighteenth generation. Then he wouldn’t have been faced with such an alarming surprise today.

Xiaocong, hearing his voice, felt it was unfamiliar and frowned in confusion.

Lin Xinlan knew he wanted to find out whose child it was. This child was his, and today she had intended to happily tell him so.

But instead, he snarled at her on first sight and treated her harshly. She could have ignored all of that, but thinking back to when he kicked Xiaocong away made her heart still fear.

Was he even human, did he have any conscience, how could he bring himself to hurt such a small child!

In fact, Lin Xinlan was somewhat misjudging Rong Shaoze. If he had really hurt Xiaocong, the child wouldn’t have come out unscathed.

As for the bump on Xiaocong’s head, it was from earlier when he hit the wall. It did hurt a bit when he fell to the ground, but the pain quickly faded.

But Lin Xinlan didn’t know any of this. She thought the bump on Xiaocong’s forehead had been caused by Rong Shaoze’s kick.

Her son, whom she protected and cherished like a treasure, never willing to speak harshly to him—today, having been treated like this by Rong Shaoze, she was more than just angry in her heart.

"Baby, ignore him!" she said to Xiaocong, looking down, her tone very indifferent.

Xiaocong was very obedient to Lin Xinlan. Whatever she said, he naturally followed.
