Caius touched his cheek soothingly, his eyes doting as he whispered, "I like you very much."
Li Yao didn't understand why this person could say such words so easily, nor did he understand why this person had to get close to their family, and he didn't understand why this person suddenly appeared...
Caius told him that he didn't need to understand, as long as he knew that there was one more person who loved him sincerely, that was enough.
From the moment Li Ci saw Caius, he felt that he was the baby's father. He was not sure whether the operation had gone wrong or not. Now he only knew that this man came to occupy the family's position.
"Cough!" He coughed loudly, "Don't push your luck." He still remembered the last time he "didn't help someone in need."
Caius noticed his indignation and began to explain what happened last time: "Well... I have something urgent to do and can't delay. But I called the police for you." Moreover, he stopped and took a look, and knew that the two of them were not dead and were not in danger of life, so he started the car and left.
"Haha!" Li Ci refused to communicate with him.
"My sister didn't say she agreed to stay for dinner, right? If she did, just hurry up and leave."
Caius looked at Yu Rufeng.
Yu Rufeng blinked and slowly closed his eyes.
Can’t see, can’t see…
"Do you want me to leave too?" He shifted his gaze to Li Yao.
Li Yao was slightly startled, "No..."
Just as he was about to say no, he suddenly stopped.
Wait, what on earth is this guy doing here?
Tell the so-called "truth", and then what?
He didn't say he wanted to recognize this biological father, right?
This father suddenly appeared and came to pick peaches without paying anything. How could such a good thing happen?
"Do you have anything else to say?" He didn't dodge or evade, but looked directly into the man's pretended downcast eyes.
"Tsk..." Caius smiled slightly with his eyes curved. "Okay, I'll come see you next time. Goodbye, kid."
He stood up to leave, took two steps, turned around, blinked slightly, and said lightly, "Tell your mother that I will come again."
Looking at his back as he left in a leisurely manner, Li Yao clenched his fists and threw all the previous entanglements behind him. The biggest feeling he had at this moment was anger.
Caius could talk to him about the two of them, but not about his mother. Besides, the look in that stinky man's eyes really asked for a beating.
"Um...don't worry about him. Come, uncle brought you some delicious snacks..."
Li Ci picked up the plastic bag on the table, took out boxes of snacks from it, and placed them on the table for Li Yao to choose from. He then glanced at Yu Rufeng and said, "Xiaofeng, come here and see what you want to eat."
Yu Rufeng saw his favorite dried fish and was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. "Uncle, thank you."
Li Ci: "..." No need to thank me, it's just this "uncle", we just can't change it, right? Can't we just call him brother?
Li Yao didn't eat his snacks. He got down from the sofa and trotted upstairs, leaving Yu Rufeng and Li Ci staring at each other.
"Uncle, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
Yu Rufeng tore open a bag of dried fish, took a bite, patted Li Ci's shoulder, and hummed encouragement to him.
Li Ci: "...eat yours!"
Upstairs, little Li Yao nestled in his mother's arms, listening quietly to his mother's phone call, blinking his big eyes, as if he had something to say.
Li Qiao is talking to Duan Mubai on the phone.
Duan Mubai received the call: "..."
The expression changed from joy to confusion and finally to horror.
Thousands of words melted into one sentence: "...I'm sorry."
He didn't ask how Li Qiao knew it, but he knew that he was also jointly responsible for keeping it a secret.
"Actually, I found out about this a month ago. I was planning to tell you after I came back, but I didn't know how to tell you. You and that family have no connection, so I thought it wouldn't affect you..."
No matter how much you say, it's wrong. He breathed slightly and waited for the "verdict" from the other side.
During the time that Li Qiao didn't speak, his heart was beating wildly and his chest even felt a little painful.
"Your mistake has nothing to do with me or my child. My child is only my child and no one will take him away from me. You will be fully responsible for any subsequent disputes in this regard."
Whether there was a mistake or not, who the father of the child was, it was no longer important to her now. Because she liked the child she had now, that was it, a very simple reason.
However, if there is any dispute with others that has nothing to do with her, the hospital will be fully responsible.
Duan Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, we will take responsibility and compensate you..."
"No, I don't need your compensation. However, I want you to agree to one request of mine."
"What do you want?"
"I hope you guys will keep forgetting about the fact that you only had one child."
Duan Mubai was stunned and subconsciously wanted to ask why, but he knew his own limitations and remained silent for a moment. "Okay, I will destroy all the information and make sure no one else knows about it."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiao lowered his head and looked at the little guy in his arms.
Just as she was about to speak, a slight movement at the door attracted her attention. She raised her eyes and looked towards the door. "Who's outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slowly pushed open.
It’s Li Yao.
"mom…"
He stood there with complicated eyes.
"Come here." Li Qiao waved his hand and asked him to come over and talk.
The mother and her two children sat together. Li Qiao held a child in each hand, looking at their innocent faces. She suddenly laughed, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell your mother? Just say it if you want to."
The younger one couldn't hold back and said shyly, "Mom, is that uncle Dad?"
"Well... Mom doesn't want to lie to you. Actually, Mom doesn't know right now. He said it was, but there's no evidence. I'll tell you after I verify it, okay?"
"Okay." He was very obedient.
Li Qiao lowered his eyes slightly, "What if it really is Dad and he comes again, what will you do?"
The little guy was stumped by the question and hummed without answering.
Li Qiao asked again: "Do you hate him?"
“…I don’t mind.”
"Why?"
"He gave the cat gold as a gift." Little Li Yao answered obediently, but then added softly: "It looks good. He is good-looking."
After saying that, he buried his face in Li Qiao's arms, and the exposed tips of his ears were red.
That man looked very similar to him, and he really liked people who looked like him, just like he liked his brother back then.
Li Qiao was so embarrassed when he heard his reason that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted his head and looked at the older one. "What about you, bastard? Do you hate him?"
Li Yao was silent for a moment and shook his head muffledly.
"Ah? You all like him so much?" Li Qiao feigned surprise. "Then Mom will ask one more question, and you must answer it obediently."
"Do you want a daddy?"
