There was an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes, which made people feel pity.
Xia Houyuan, who was standing by, felt a pang of relief when he saw Xie Qi in such a difficult situation. He gently reached out and patted Xie Qi on the shoulder.
"It's okay," he consoled her. "If you don't want to sign now, don't force yourself. It was our fault for not discussing this with you first."
Xiahou Yuan's words were full of understanding and tolerance, trying to ease Xie Qi's inner anxiety.
Mrs. Xia and Xiahou Yuan originally believed that by going through the adoption procedures, Xie Qi would be able to truly feel the warmth of family and get rid of the feeling of being dependent on others.

"Could it be that, facing a handsome, elegant, and handsome elder brother like me, you don't have even the slightest bit of affection?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Xuan finished speaking, he was met with a cold stare from his old father, accompanied by a scolding: "Shut up and eat!"
However, in response to Xia Xuan's words, Xie Qi only smiled faintly and did not make any response, but he really did not expect that Xia Xuan was so narcissistic.
