Chapter 9 He is my brother's child
Li Mai turned around and actually saw Zhou Songyan.
She thought she was seeing things.
He even raised his hand and rubbed it.
When she opened her eyes, the figure was still there, and it was walking towards her.
Li Mai was extremely nervous.
Oh no! My son is going to be found out!
She tugged at Chengcheng, trying to hide behind him.
Chengcheng saw his father and excitedly kept peeking out.
He had seen photos of his parents together on his mother's phone.
The tall, leggy uncle walking towards them looked exactly like their father.
You Huan was looking at a used car with the staff and didn't notice what was happening here.
Zhou Songyan quickly walked up to them.
Li Mai pulled Chengcheng behind her and greeted Zhou Songyan with a sheepish grin.
"Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence! You're here to buy a car too!"
Zhou Songyan wasn't wearing a suit today, just casual jeans and a black shirt.
But that couldn't hide his handsomeness.
Standing in a crowd, you can be noticed at first glance.
Zhou Songyan stared at her for two seconds: "What are you feeling guilty about? What wrong have you done?"
"I'm not guilty, Mr. Zhou, you're really joking."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
This woman is clearly very guilty.
Li Mai was so nervous, she really wanted to grab Chengcheng and run away.
But that would make her seem even more guilty.
Zhou Songyan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on a head that peeked out from behind Li Mai, Li Chengyi, scrutinizing him.
"who is he?"
Li Mai laughed twice. "Him? He's my brother's child."
Cheng Cheng: "..."
Why did Mom lie?
Zhou Songyan stared at Chengcheng.
Li Mai had told him that she had an older brother.
Five years have passed, so it's normal for her brother to have a child now.
Why is your brother's child with you?
Li Mai: "My brother and sister-in-law don't have time to take care of it, so they left it with me."
"So you'll have time to bring it?"
Li Mai: "..."
Yes, it's not right for her to be alone, working and raising a child.
How can we make this up?
In the crucial moment, Chengcheng came up with a quick and clever idea.
She said in a clear voice, "My parents are getting a divorce and neither of them wants me. My grandma is sick, so I can only stay with my aunt."
Li Mai: "..."
She secretly gave her son a thumbs up.
How can you be so smart?
Let her be.
Zhou Songyan thought to himself that the child was quite pitiful, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Moreover, he felt an inexplicable affinity for the child and couldn't help but want to get close to him.
He reached out and rubbed the little head.
How old are you?
I am four years old.
"What's your name?"
"Chengcheng."
Chengcheng didn't understand why his mother lied to his father.
His mother said she would find him a father.
His father was right in front of him, but he couldn't call out to him.
Mom doesn't seem to want Dad to know about him.
He cares more about his mother than his father.
No matter what, he always stands by his mother's side.
So he was willing to help his mother lie to his father.
He believed his mother had her reasons for doing so.
He will wait for his mother to explain.
Zhou Songyan withdrew his hand.
His gaze fell on Li Mai's face.
The woman has lost her baby fat, and her facial contours are more defined and beautiful.
Her skin was fair and radiant, her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, and her lips, though not brightly colored, gave one the urge to kiss her.
Realizing she was overthinking again, Zhou Songyan quickly stopped and changed the subject, asking, "Are you buying a car?"
Li Mai nodded.
Which one have you got your eye on?
"Still looking at it."
"Li Mai, who is this?"
You Huan suddenly appeared behind Li Mai, her eyes scrutinizing Zhou Songyan like a machine gun.
Up close, this handsome guy is even more stunning.
His eyes are just too cold.
But handsome guys tend to be a bit aloof.
She was looking at a used car when she suddenly noticed a super handsome guy standing in front of Li Mai, the kind who stood out from the crowd.
The two were still talking.
She was so excited that she didn't even look at the car and rushed over.
You Huan had only heard of Zhou Songyan's name, but had never met him.
Little did she know that the man standing in front of her was Li Mai's ex-boyfriend and Chengcheng's biological father.
Back then, when Li Mai asked her to inquire about Zhou Songyan, she didn't give her a photo.
Li Mai didn't know how to introduce Zhou Songyan to You Huan.
You Huan should be about to lose her temper.
Zhou Songyan took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Zhou Songyan."
"Zhou Songyan? You're Zhou Songyan?"
You Huan was very excited and spoke loudly, attracting the attention of several pairs of eyes around her.
Zhou Songyan frowned slightly: "You know me?"
You Huan glared at him through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Li Mai quickly pulled her out of the store.
Chengcheng did not follow.
Zhou Songyan looked puzzled.
Is that woman Li Mai's friend?
Do you have a problem with him? Why are you looking at him so fiercely?
He looked down and found that Chengcheng was staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle, what is your relationship with...my aunt?"
Zhou Songyan never expected such a young child to ask such a question.
"We... I guess we're friends."
"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
How come this child knows everything?
He replied, "A long time ago."
Chengcheng is 100% certain that this is his father.
He then asked, "Why did you separate?"
Mom has been looking for Dad.
Zhou Songyan felt that the child in front of her was too precocious.
He knows everything.
A child this young should only know how to cry and want toys.
The questions he asked were increasingly sharp.
Why did they separate?
He could say: "Did your aunt want to marry a rich man and dump me?"
Well, let's not ruin Li Mai's image in her little nephew's eyes.
"The reasons are complicated, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Children shouldn't ask these questions."
Chengcheng, however, was not so easily fooled.
"Tell me what you mean, maybe I can understand."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Since he asked him in an adult-like tone, he answered him in an adult-like manner.
"If someone doesn't want to answer, don't pry. It's impolite."
Cheng Cheng: "..."
He was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll ask another question."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Is this kid never going to stop?
Chengcheng asked, "Are you married?"
Zhou Songyan shook his head.
"You have a girlfriend?"
"No."
Do you like my aunt?
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Chengcheng didn't get a reply and turned away.
Hesitate for a second.
He doesn't even deserve his mother.
