Chapter 382 Allowing Qi Yue to Recognize His Ancestors
"Of course they are related."
Qi Mingxuan gave a cold laugh, "Qi Sinian genuinely considers you a brother, but you want to date him! Han Mingyu, what do you expect Qi Sinian to do? He's afraid that saying it out loud will hurt your pride, so we came up with a solution that satisfies both sides. Think back carefully, wasn't it after that day that Qi Sinian started telling you he liked me?"
Han Mingyu stared blankly at Qi Mingxuan.
Those long-buried memories, long relegated to the insignificant corners of his life, are slowly resurfacing now…
Yes, in his youthful arrogance, he was influenced by some foreign ideas and mistook his brotherly affection and dependence on Qi Sinian for love.
But he always thought that it was just a brief period of confusion that he had experienced.
During that time, he was tormented and in pain, and even thought that he would never be able to marry and have children normally again. Therefore, he did something very foolish.
He secretly had his sperm cells preserved by a professional institution...
Suddenly, Han Mingyu realized!
"You wouldn't be..."
Qi Mingxuan knew that he had guessed it.
"That's right, I bribed the organization."
"Qi Mingxuan!" Han Mingyu lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck. "Are you fucking crazy?!"
Qi Mingxuan's face turned red from being pinched, but she didn't struggle. She just stared at Han Mingyu with red eyes.
The veins on Han Mingyu's forehead were bulging.
He never imagined that Qi Mingxuan could be so crazy!
"What about Qi Sinian? How much does he know?"
“I only told him after I successfully conceived Qi Yue,” Qi Mingxuan said. “We were supposed to have twins, a boy and a girl, but the girl didn’t develop properly and the pregnancy ended in miscarriage. I was heartbroken. Qi Sinian knew that if you knew, you definitely wouldn’t let me give birth to the child. He couldn’t bear to let me experience the pain of losing a child again, so he chose to keep it a secret for me. I told him that I didn’t plan to get married anyway, and that I would take the child and settle abroad after giving birth. He got engaged to me so that Qi Yue wouldn’t be an illegitimate child…”
"Madmen!" Han Mingyu gritted his teeth. "You're all madmen!"
Pulling his hand away from Qi Mingxuan's, Han Mingyu pointed at her and growled, "You all took my youthful ramblings seriously! Qi Mingxuan, aren't you disgusted? If I were really gay, wouldn't you be disgusted to have a child with a gay man?!"
"Han Mingyu, that's because you're prejudiced." Qi Mingxuan looked at him. "Even if it was a misunderstanding, Qi Sinian and I never looked down on you. Back then, we only thought about how to protect your dignity. He genuinely treated you like a brother and maintained a relationship with you, while I pursued you for many years. No matter what you are like, I accept you."
Han Mingyu was stunned.
“But all of that is in the past.” Qi Mingxuan looked at Han Mingyu, her reddened eyes now devoid of emotion.
"For the past eight years, you've been single. I thought that was how your life would be. I'm just glad that at least I left you with a descendant. I was thinking that once I've settled everything, I'll bring Qi Yue back, and when he's a little older, I'll find an opportunity to tell you."
"But I never expected that you would fall in love with Shen Qingshu."
Han Mingyu frowned.
"Han Mingyu, do you know how I felt when I watched you pursue Shen Qingshu so openly?"
Han Mingyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
“I feel like a clown.” Qi Mingxuan laughed, but tears still rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. “It’s not that you don’t like women, it’s just that you haven’t met a woman who makes your heart flutter. You make me feel that you can love Qi Sinian, and you can love Shen Qingshu, but you just won’t love me.”
"I didn't love Qi Sinian!" Han Mingyu gritted his teeth. "I was young then, and I met some people while studying abroad... Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding! I'm perfectly normal!"
"I know now." Qi Mingxuan lowered her eyes, her heart aching. "I saw how passionate and high-profile you were in love with Shen Qingshu, which makes all my persistence over the years seem ridiculous."
"Qi Mingxuan, you're still acting aggrieved?" Han Mingyu laughed angrily. "You stole my genes and secretly gave birth to Qi Yue. I'm the biggest victim here!"
"Hmm." Qi Mingxuan looked up at him. "I was wrong about this, and I apologize to you."
Han Mingyu: "..."
“But Qi Yue is your son, that’s an indisputable fact.” Qi Mingxuan’s voice was firm. “Qi Yue is very smart. Take him back to be recognized by your ancestors. Grandpa Han and Grandma Han are getting old. They have been hoping for a great-grandson for so many years. This will fulfill their wish.”
"You've got a pretty good plan." Han Mingyu sneered. "The first step is to acknowledge your ancestry, and the second step is to use your son to gain status. You know I won't marry you, so you want to use your son to get the elders in the Han family to force me to marry you. Qi Mingxuan, don't try to manipulate me with your business tactics. I can tell you clearly, I will not marry you. Forget about it for the rest of your life!"
"You've misunderstood." Qi Mingxuan said calmly, "I have no feelings for you anymore. You don't need to worry that I will use Qi Yue to pester you. I just think that Qi Yue should also have a normal family. Compared to the Qi family, the Han family is more suitable for a child to grow up in."
Han Mingyu frowned at her, skeptical: "You say you won't, but you won't? Qi Mingxuan, you're too scheming. You've repeatedly shown no restraint in achieving your goals. I don't believe you."
“Then you can sign an agreement with me.” Qi Mingxuan looked at him. “If the agreement isn’t enough to convince you, how about I swear on my life? If I, Qi Mingxuan, continue to pester you, then let me…”
"Forget it!" Han Mingyu interrupted her. "I'll draft the agreement, but before that, I need to take Qi Yue for a paternity test. Before the results are in, I hope you won't take it upon yourself to contact my family."
Qi Mingxuan replied, "Don't worry, I won't."
Han Mingyu was in a state of turmoil and didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.
Qi Mingxuan stared at the ceiling, tears silently streaming down her face.
...
Nighttime, Lijiang Villa.
After finishing dinner, Qi Yue played with her younger siblings in the back garden for a while before going back to her room to do her homework.
He is currently attending the best private school in the northern part of the city, where he stays from Monday to Thursday and is picked up on Friday.
Previously, Qi Mingxuan would arrange other classes for Qi Yue on Saturdays and Sundays, so Qi Yue had to finish his homework in advance on Friday nights.
But since Qi Mingxuan's accident, Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu were worried that he was under too much pressure, so they temporarily suspended his weekend classes.
Qi Yue is a very self-disciplined child. Even if he doesn't have classes on weekends, he still makes it a habit to finish his homework early on Friday nights. Of course, he also has his own little scheme: once he finishes his homework, he can focus on playing with his younger siblings on the weekend!
After taking the two little ones to bathe, Sister Yun brought them to Shen Qingshu's room.
I promised to sleep with Mom tonight.
The two little ones were playing on their mother's big bed, waiting and waiting, until it was past nine o'clock and their parents still hadn't come back.
The little girl was extremely sleepy, but she was unwilling to fall asleep so easily. She rubbed her eyes and tossed and turned in bed, insisting on not sleeping.
Nian'an is a good girl, but when her biological clock struck, she had already fallen asleep on her pillow, all crooked and unsteady.
When Shen Qingshu pushed open the door, she saw her daughter sitting on the bed with her small body, her two little hands supporting her on the bed, her little head nodding little by little, her eyelids drooping but she didn't want to close them.
When a mother sees this scene, her heart melts instantly.
She hurriedly came in, took off her shoes, lay down, and hugged her daughter. "Mommy's back. Little Anning, go to sleep."
Little Anning rolled over, snuggled her little face against her mother's chest, found a familiar angle, and fell asleep peacefully.
Fu Siyan pushed open the door, "Sister Yun is asking if you've eaten..."
Shen Qingshu gestured for him to be quiet.
Fu Siyan paused, and seeing that his two children were already asleep, his gaze softened instantly.
He tiptoed in, turned off the main light, and left only the night light on.
Then he picked up Nian'an, who was fast asleep on the pillow, and put her next to Xiao Anning, covering her with a blanket.
Shen Qingshu reached out and touched Nian'an's face.
The two little ones were close to her, one big and two small, and this scene made Fu Siyan's heart soften.
He walked around behind Shen Qingshu, lowered his head and kissed her ear, asking in a low voice, "What do you want to eat?"
They were delayed going to the hospital, and both of them were still hungry.
Shen Qingshu thought he wanted to ask Aunt Yun to make it, so she said, "Noodles, please."
Fu Siyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
