Chapter 66 Talked

From the time Li Yanjing followed Li Zhi into the living room until now, the couple had hardly paid any attention to him.

When Xie Tingzhou said this, Gu Yuntian and Jiang Ruyun subconsciously looked at Li Yanjing, who had been silent.

Seeing him hiding behind Li Zhi, Jiang Ruyun didn't think much about it and waved at him, "Yan Jing, what are you doing hiding behind your mother? Come out quickly."

Li Yanjing had no choice but to look at Xie Tingzhou, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, with some anger in his eyes. He knew that Xie Tingzhou had no good intentions and reluctantly walked out from behind Li Zhi.

Jiang Ruyun thought about what Xie Tingzhou had just said, her eyes fell on Li Yanjing's tender face, and then she looked at Xie Tingzhou. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but she was shocked when she saw him.

Her eyes were filled with deep surprise as she discovered that the two men's features were very similar.

If you don’t know, you might think they are father and son.

The reason why she didn't notice this before was because Xie Tingzhou rarely appeared in front of them. It seemed that the last time she saw him was half a year ago.

Now these two faces, one big and one small, appear together. With the comparison, it is obvious at a glance that they are very similar.

Gu Yuntian was too busy thinking about anything else. His eyes wandered between Xie Tingzhou and Li Yanjing, his brows filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but say, "Yeah, this Yanjing really looks like you, Tingzhou..."

If he didn't know that Li Yanjing was the son of Li Zhi and her ex-husband, he would have suspected that he was the son of Li Zhi and Xie Tingzhou. How could they look so similar?

The answer was right in front of her. Jiang Ruyun didn't think about it any further. She turned to look at Li Zhi and asked, "Zhizhi, does Yan Jing's father look like Ting Zhou?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at Li Zhi with deep eyes and said quietly, "Could it be that he is my long-lost twin brother?"

Li Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly and told the truth, "Dad, Mom, I lied to you before. Yan Jing is actually the child of Xie Tingzhou and me."

Jiang Ruyun was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, with shock and astonishment unconcealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She said in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

Even though Gu Yuntian had seen a lot of things, he couldn't keep his composure at this moment, and couldn't control the expression on his face, "Zhizhi, you guys, what, what is going on?"

Explaining what happened back then was difficult, so Li Zhi simply found another excuse. Two words, concise and clear, "We talked about it."

When Xie Tingzhou heard her words, his eyelashes twitched. Was she defending himself?

After all, strictly speaking, it was me who forced her back then.

Jiang Ruyun slowed down, "So you only found out you were pregnant after we broke up?"

Li Zhi nodded and said calmly, "That's right. I was alone at the time and my adoptive parents were gone, so I decided to give birth to the child so that I would have someone to keep me company."

After hearing what she said, Jiang Ruyun did not ask her why she had lied to them before. Her eyes turned slightly red, and there was only heartache in her eyes for her.

She knew how difficult it was to give birth to a child and raise it alone, and she never said a word about the hardships involved.

Jiang Ruyun sighed and said with a look of self-blame: "It's all our fault. If we hadn't taken the wrong child away, you wouldn't have suffered so much alone..."

Gu Yuntian felt the same as her and nodded, "Yes, Zhizhi, it's all our fault."

Li Zhi met the couple's sincere eyes, and inexplicably felt a sense of warmth flowing through her heart. She said softly, "Dad, Mom, it's okay. It's all over. We are a happy family now."

"You're right, just being together is enough." Jiang Ruyun smiled, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and after adjusting her mood, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, why did you break up?"

Li Zhi glanced at Xie Tingzhou and said nonchalantly, "He said he had been lying to me all along. In fact, he had been engaged to someone else. He felt guilty and couldn't let down the fiancée his family had chosen for him, so he chose to break up with me."

“…”

Xie Tingzhou's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't refute anything.

Gu Yuntian and his wife understood. Now they finally understood why Xie Tingzhou suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to cancel the engagement after he knew that it was Li Zhi who was engaged to him.

It's just a joke of fate.

If they had discovered the mistake earlier and found Li Zhi earlier, perhaps the two children would have been married long ago and would not have missed each other for so many years.

But fortunately, after many twists and turns, the two met again, neither too early nor too late. In the final analysis, it was fate.

Gu Yuntian naturally hoped that the two of them could get married, so that the child would have his biological father by his side.

However, he still wanted to ask Li Zhi's opinion first and respect her choice. "So, Zhizhi, what do you think now?"

Although she had only met Xie Tingzhou a few times, Li Zhi knew that this vixen had plenty of tricks and strength. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "We can hold on to the engagement for now, but as for when to get married, let's talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry yet."

Gu Yuntian raised his eyes to look at Xie Tingzhou again and asked, "Tingzhou, what about you?"

"I'll listen to Zhizhi." Xie Tingzhou replied in a very friendly manner, "She can get married whenever she wants."

"Okay then." Gu Yuntian nodded. "Explain this to your parents when you get back."

"I know." Xie Tingzhou responded.

Jiang Ruyun showed a satisfied smile on her face. Her eyes fell on Li Yanjing. Looking at his expressionless face, she asked, "What's wrong, Yanjing?"

Li Yanjing shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine."

"Then why do you look so sad? Are you unhappy because you can't see your father?" Jiang Ruyun asked again.

Li Yanjing glanced at Xie Tingzhou from the corner of his eye, pursed his lips, and said insincerely: "Happy..."

"Call me daddy quickly, you two should get closer." Jiang Ruyun said with a smile.

Li Yanjing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fingers hanging at her sides curled up, without saying a word.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered when she saw this. She knew that he couldn't hold back his words, so she spoke up to help: "Mom, give Yan Jing some time. This happened too suddenly, and he still hasn't reacted yet. We'll just have to get to know him better after some time."

Jiang Ruyun also realized that she was anxious and nodded, "Yeah, that's right. There will be plenty of time in the future anyway."

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, "Oh right, Dad, Mom, you only need to know about Yan Jing's life story and the past between Xie Tingzhou and me. Don't tell anyone else for now."

Jiang Ruyun was puzzled. "Why is this happening? It's not something shameful."

Li Zhi didn't explain much, just said: "It's not the time yet, just listen to me."
