Chapter 1605 - The Child of Another Man

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The name that Ye Youyou had saved Ye Tian’s contact under was something she had entered long ago—Mom.

In the past, she had just felt that perhaps Ye Tian was a little more biased in her affections toward the new family. Thus, that was the reason why her love and concern for Ye Youyou had decreased. After all, everyone had the right to live for themselves.

Having gone through this experience regarding Guan Queye, Ye Youyou had given up all hope. Her heart had truly hardened.

Ye Tian had treated Guan Queye as her own daughter. Toward her actual biological daughter, she had kept her distance.

Ye Youyou had treated her as a mother, but what had she treated Ye Youyou as?

She stared at the phone that wouldn’t stop ringing. The word “Mom” kept flashing as if to mock her. Ye Youyou had no intention to answer the call. She silenced her phone and shoved it into her handbag.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Jinnan glanced at her and asked, “Why aren’t you answering the call?”

“There’s no need to answer it,” she replied.

There was, indeed, no need to answer the call.

Guan Yanhong was under suspicion of instigating Lao Zhou to cause her to miscarry. The basis of that suspicion alone was enough to keep Guan Yanhong locked up for a few days. Regardless of how far his clout reached, he was still bound by the law and red tape.

Ye Tian was probably calling because she wanted to Ye Youyou to come forth and write the whole affair off as nothing more than a misunderstanding of sorts before asking Ye Youyou to aid in Guan Yanhong’s release. Knowing Ye Tian’s personality, it was very likely for her to do something like that.

Ye Youyou’s heart hardened even further. She went up to stand beside Li Jinnan.

As she watched Li Xiao walking ahead in front of them, Ye Youyou suddenly felt a little disoriented. It was as if she were in a dream. In the past, she would never have thought that she would one day be linked to someone like Li Jinnan. It would never have even crossed her mind that she would one day bear a child for a man other than Shen Luo’an.

Subconsciously, Ye Youyou stroked her abdomen. Her hand that was holding Li Jinnan’s tightened. In a low voice, she asked, “What does your father like to eat?”

“He likes normal everyday dishes,” Li Jinnan lightly said. “He might not be used to the Northern cuisine. I have no idea where to take him for dinner.”

Ye Youyou nodded her head when she heard that. She checked the time and regretfully said, “It’s a little too late now. It’s almost eight, so most of the supermarkets are closed. Otherwise, I could have whipped up something more appropriate.”

“It’s fine. We’re all going to be a family sooner or later. You don’t have to be too formal. What do you feel like eating?” Li Jinnan looked at Ye Youyou’s belly and smiled contentedly. “I heard that pregnant women are very picky about their food. Is there anything in particular you’re craving?”

“I feel like eating something spicy.” Ye Youyou looked at him. “You Southerners can’t really tolerate spice, can you?”

“Yeah. My father can’t tolerate spice.” Li Jinnan felt as if he were caught in a dilemma.

Just as they were thinking about where to go for dinner, Li Xiao, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and asked, “Have you been to the Rong residence before?”

The Rong residence? Li Jinnan didn’t respond immediately. Who were the Rongs?

When Li Xiao saw his confusion, he snorted and clarified, “I’m talking about Qianci’s family!”

“Ah...” Realization finally dawned on Li Jinnan. He replied, “Not yet. Are we going now?”

“Yeah,” Li Xiao answered.

Li Jinnan found that a little untimely and responded, “Dad, we haven’t had anything to eat for the whole day. I’m fine with it, but my child won’t be able to take it.”

Ye Youyou quickly waved her hands when she heard that and said, “It’s no problem at all. Let’s go visit your nephew. I’m fine.”

“Forget it, then,” Li Xiao said. “I’m not hungry. You can have your dinner first. We’ll pay the Rongs a visit after that.”
