Li Yiqing walked out of the study in silence. She regretted learning such a cruel truth; it was truly heartbreaking to hear.
Seeing her like this, Li Yinan called out to her, "Qingqing, we don't want you to know, not because you don't have Li family blood, but because you are a girl. Don't say things like that so casually in the future."
She was the girl they cherished and raised like a little princess, and all they wanted was for her to be happy and joyful.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Li Yiqing apologized for her behavior just now, looking guilty.
Li Yinan walked over to Li Yiqing, patted her head, and said, "Let's go have breakfast. Arno should be waiting for us downstairs."
Li Yiqing nodded and followed Li Yinan downstairs.
Ni Sitian woke up again at dusk, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She just couldn't believe that she and Xu Tingchuan were siblings, but Gu Linping didn't seem to be lying to her.
What should she do? Should she go find Tingchuan? Should she get a DNA test?
What if the result is that? What should we do then? What should we do?
If Tingchuan finds out, how will they live? Will they still be able to face each other?
Ni Sitian turned to her side and curled up as if in pain all over her body; these problems in her mind were driving her crazy.
The maid, who had been staying inside and had just dozed off, woke up and, seeing that Ni Sitian was awake, quickly went out to inform Li Yinan.
Not long after, Li Yinan entered the room. Seeing Ni Sitian like this, he said in a low voice, "People always have to face reality. You can't escape what has already happened by burying yourself in the sand. What you need to do now is not to worry others who care about you."
Ni Sitian sneered. What other people cared about her? Her own mother, who had once tried to burn her alive, had no right to say she cared about her.
Seeing that Ni Sitian remained unmoved and still buried inside, Li Yinan said, "Don't you want to know what happened in these seven months? Don't you want to know how the child is doing?"
Upon hearing about the child, Ni Sitian abruptly lifted her head from her lap, sat up, looked at Li Yinan, and asked urgently, "How is the child?"
"He's a boy. He was very weak when he was born and spent a long time in the incubator. Thanks to the meticulous care of the Xu family, he's in pretty good health now." Li Yinan still occasionally returns to Yihai and continues to keep an eye on the Xu family.
"He, did he...?" Ni Sitian wanted to ask, but dared not ask any further, afraid of hearing the answer.
If she and Xu Tingchuan are really siblings, then wouldn't the child be...?
She had seen cases of consanguineous marriages in the British royal family in the past, and the result was that nine out of ten children born from these marriages either died young or were disabled.
"Aside from being weak at the beginning, there are no abnormalities so far," Li Yinan answered directly, seeing what she wanted to ask.
Ni Sitian pursed her lips. If the child was normal, could it be that she and Xu Tingchuan weren't...? Maybe there was some mistake.
Li Yinan saw through Ni Sitian's thoughts at a glance and said, "You can't tell anything about a child this young in terms of intelligence."
Ni Sitian's newly ignited hope was shattered by him. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Why did you help that woman do this?"
“Aunt Gu is my stepmother. She saved my life twice.” Li Yinan thought that since she would be living in the Li family in the future, he should explain the various relationships within the Li family to her.
