Upon meeting Li Zheng, Gu Xiaoran lowered her head, feigning obedience.
He dared not act rashly in front of Li Zheng.
Zhu Juan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her little master was so troublesome, but luckily Uncle Li appeared in time.
"Come on, come home with me." Li Zheng's magnetic voice was full of concern.
In the past two days, he and Ye have also been helping to search for Qiu Yan.
He was relieved to learn that Qiu Yan was alright.
Gu Xiaoran pursed her lips, her eyes reddening.
He said, "Okay."
Then, he took off running in the direction Qiu Yan had disappeared.
Unfortunately, before she could get far, Li Zheng hoisted her onto his shoulder.
"Grandmaster, put me down, put me down..."
At Qiu Yumei's house, Ling Qi followed Qiu Yumei and finally saw her child.
Upon seeing the child, his first thought was...
ugly!
My second impression was that it was too ugly!
I wonder whose son he took after?
This child is clearly underdeveloped due to premature birth.
His face was wrinkled and not smooth, and his small body was curled up in a ball. No matter how Ling Qi looked at him, he felt that he was different from the child he had imagined.
Glancing again at the sleeping baby girl beside him,
We're both babies, but look at other babies, they're so chubby and healthy, why is my own child so ugly?
He was dark-skinned and thin, just like Qin Susu said, he looked like a little old man.
He couldn't quite adjust to the role of a father for a while, and always felt that the child in front of him was somewhat unreal.
Originally, this child came suddenly.
"It's a miracle that the child is alive," Qiu Yumei said from the bottom of her heart.
Ling Qi bowed deeply to Qiu Yumei again.
"Thank you, Auntie."
He felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought of Feng Qi's words that if he didn't want the child, he should just abandon it.
How could he bear to abandon such a young child?
He wanted to hug the child, but seeing that he was fast asleep, he hurt him.
When Madam Xu learned that her child's father had arrived, she quickly stepped forward with a smile to greet him.
She brought over the hot pancakes she had just made.
"We just made some pancakes at home, eat them while they're hot."
"You're too kind, I'm not hungry." Ling Qi shook his head, his eyes fixed on his ugly son.
No matter how ugly, she's still my own child.
He and Fengqi were fairly good-looking, and his parents weren't bad-looking either.
Perhaps this child takes after his maternal grandfather.
but……
Years ago, he accompanied the general to a reconciliation banquet held by the Northern Qi dynasty, where he had a brief encounter with General Feng.
General Feng was tall and imposing, with a handsome, square face, and was not ugly.
He must have taken after his maternal grandmother.
Ling Qi thought to herself silently.
"You sound so weak when you speak. Here, have some sweets," Qiu Yumei said.
Sweet... Ling Qi's lips involuntarily curled up; he hadn't tasted anything sweet in a long time.
Madam Xu placed the sweet cake directly into Ling Qi's hand; she considered it to be the best food in the family. "Eat it, don't be shy."
"Thank you, Grandma Xu." Ling Qi and Qiu Yan had been on the road for almost two days and were really starving.
He reached out his hand, but by sheer coincidence, he caught a glimpse of Zhao's sister-in-law's cold, sneer.
"Hmph, with war raging, every now and then the higher-ups urge us poor folks to hand over our military rations. We don't even have enough food for our own people, let alone give it to outsiders."
Sister-in-law Zhao clicked her tongue twice, making Ling Qi feel embarrassed.
"Grandma Xu, I'm really not hungry." He put the flatbread back on the plate, then bent down and picked up the child.
