Chapter 192 So Many Children

Lin Yi'an disagreed, and the psychologists had no other options.

Shi Jingsheng looked at them.

"Let's think of other solutions."

“There is a solution,” a psychologist suddenly leaned forward, speaking earnestly. “Perhaps we could let the young lady interact more with men, starting with younger children, which would reduce the pressure considerably.”

Children? Lin Yi'an didn't like them. The only child he liked was his own baby. But even though he didn't like them, he still had to try. But where could he find a child for his baby to play with?

He asked Shi Jingsheng, who had a large family, since Shi Jingsheng would surely be able to come up with a solution.

He immediately realized that the Shi family did indeed have quite a few members.

"You want children, right? Okay, I'll find a few to bring tomorrow."

"good."

Lin Yi'an thought about it again and said seriously.

"Find some good-looking boys."

"Oh." It's good enough that there's something, why is he being picky?

………

That night, Lin Yi'an's sleeping posture was terrible, extremely bad. Mo Ziyuan sat up angrily; he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with him.

Just as he got up, Lin Yi'an also sat up, still feeling groggy.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

Mo Ziyuan answered.

"I'm getting up to drink some water."

"Alright."

Lin Yi'an stood up after speaking.

"Brother Yi'an, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Yiluo. I wonder if your sister Yiluo has kicked off her blankets."

"I'll go with you."

Lin Yi'an ignored him; let him go if he wants, it's up to him.

Once in the room, sure enough, Lin Yiluo wouldn't sleep well. The little girl's blanket was at her feet again, and she was sleeping in a casual position, with one leg draped over the doll next to her.

Mo Ziyuan stared blankly at the leg. Hmph! That leg used to be on his own body.

Lin Yi'an grabbed the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her, making a fuss as he did so.

"Why is your sleeping posture so bad? You're not well-behaved at all."

Mo Ziyuan seized the opportunity.

"Brother Yi'an, why don't I stay here and keep Sister Yiluo company?"

"No, your sister Yiluo will be scared when she wakes up tomorrow."

"Oh well."

After Lin Yi'an left, Mo Ziyuan looked at the person on the bed, hesitated for a few seconds, and then walked over.

Lin Yi'an wrapped her up very tightly, and he carefully pulled the little girl's head out so she could breathe properly.

Upon arriving at Lin Yi'an's room, Mo Ziyuan obediently got into bed and lay down.

Goodnight, Brother Yi'an.

He didn't receive a reply from Lin Yi'an, and when he turned around, he found that Lin Yi'an had already fallen asleep.

Before he could think any further, the man's leg was already draped over him.

Tsk!

After thinking for a long time, Mo Ziyuan decided to leave the room with his pillow.

He originally wanted to go back to his own room to sleep, but he hadn't slept alone in a long time and didn't really want to. After thinking it over, the man went to find Shi Jingsheng.

Shi Jingsheng looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

"sleep."

He got into bed with her without any hesitation.

Shi Jingsheng wanted to talk to him, but Mo Ziyuan ignored him.

That's outrageous! Mo Ziyuan is asleep, but he's still awake.

…………

The next morning, not long after dawn, women from the collateral branches of the Shi family began to arrive with their children.

Several groups of people were sitting properly in the living room, but Shi Jingsheng and Lin Yi'an were still not up.

It wasn't until the two went downstairs that they caught a glimpse of the scene in the living room. The butler immediately came to greet them, and Lin Yi'an spoke first.

"Why are you here so early? When did they arrive?"

"Young Master, most of them arrive around seven o'clock. I guess they're worried you'll be going to work, so they're making sure to arrive early," the butler explained.

All those who came were women with children; none of the male heads of the household showed up. This was something Shi Jingsheng had specifically instructed. Almost every branch of the Shi family with boys under the age of ten had been brought along. Lin Yi'an glanced at them and saw that there were at least eight pairs of mothers and children. The Shi family was already large, but there weren't many boys of the right age.

Seeing the two come downstairs, everyone in the living room quickly stood up to greet them. Shi Jingsheng's gaze, however, first fell on the woman in the front row, his second aunt. But when he looked at the child beside her, he frowned. He clearly remembered that his second aunt's family only had one cousin, so where did the boy come from?

"Second Aunt, who is this child?" he asked.

The second aunt quickly stepped forward, her face plastered with an embarrassed smile.

"Jing Sheng, this is your cousin."

"Cousin?" Shi Jingsheng asked with a hint of doubt. "I remember my second aunt's family only has one female cousin, right?"

These words made the second aunt's face powder unable to hide the unease in her eyes. She subconsciously glanced at the other women from the collateral branches behind her, and then forced herself to stand up straight.

"This is my child."

Shi Jingsheng didn't respond, so his second aunt had to add another sentence.

“You know your second uncle’s temperament… This is his child from outside, but don’t worry, Jing Sheng, he’s already taken home and is raising him.”

Shi Jingsheng turned his gaze to the child and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Tian," the child's voice was clear and bright.

Upon hearing the surname "Shi," a hint of surprise flashed in Shi Jingsheng's eyes. His second uncle had even changed the surname of his illegitimate son to Shi and added him to the family genealogy so that this child could come here. He carefully examined Shi Tian. The child showed no fear in front of him, his round eyes staring straight at him, and he seemed rather clever.

"Where is your mother?" Shi Jingsheng asked again.

"My mother is dead." Shi Tian's eyes dimmed instantly, his voice filled with sorrow.

Seeing this, the second aunt quickly pinched Shi Tian's arm under the table. The child was wearing short sleeves, and his arm immediately turned red, but he endured it without making a sound. The second aunt quickly tried to smooth things over.

“Jing Sheng, his mother passed away unexpectedly. You know I’m kind-hearted, and your cousin is the only daughter in my family, so I took him in and raised him.”

Shi Jingsheng wasn't interested in these explanations. Given his second aunt's personality, the so-called "accident" was probably not that simple. He didn't ask any more questions, only gave the housekeeper a look, and turned to walk towards the dining room, with Lin Yi'an following closely behind.

Uncle Zhang immediately understood what he meant.

"Ladies, please leave the children here for now. We will take the young masters home tonight."

The women present immediately began to give instructions to their children. Some of the children were only two or three years old and started crying as soon as they learned that their mothers were leaving.

……………

When Lin Yiluo and Mo Ziyuan came downstairs, they were stunned to see so many children in the living room. How could there be so many children?

Mo Ziyuan immediately understood Lin Yi'an's meaning.

"Let's go eat first, and ask Yi'an later."

"good."
