Chapter 360: Chapter 354: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 64
“Mother!” Yun Xia struggled free of Shen Qingman’s embrace and immediately ran forward, pouncing into Su Zhiruan’s arms like a swallow returning to the forest.
Afterward, she gently rubbed her little face against the palm of Su Zhiruan’s hand, curiously sizing up Changqi who stood behind her.
At that moment, Changqi was profoundly shaken.
The little girl in front of him resembled Su Zhiruan to an uncanny degree!
When she left the Divine World, she had been pregnant, and by counting the time, the child before him… was his!
With this thought, Changqi observed Yun Xia even more intently. A small flame seemed to emerge within his heart, growing brighter and wilder, until it almost consumed all his sanity.
The very thought of having a child with Su Zhiruan unleashed torrents of excitement in his heart. Before he had a child, alone in the Divine World, he never felt anything peculiar or lacking. But now, upon learning he had a child connected to him by blood, he became roused with emotion.
Previously, he had not been a father, but now, with the appearance of a child, he had been endowed with paternal responsibilities, and he felt an inexplicable mystic power. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Su Zhiruan knew without looking what he was thinking, especially his hand that started to reach out only to be retracted. Perhaps others around them had also noticed, especially the Concubines in the harem, who glanced at her intermittently and then at Changqi.
The Emperor, Empress, and the Concubines of the harem had all watched these four children grow up. If anyone was familiar with the children, it was them. From the moment Changqi appeared and they saw his face, they knew he must be the father of these four children.
Certainly, without a doubt!
Even Su Zhiruan herself hadn’t expected Lin An, Lin You, and Lin Zhou to resemble Changqi as if they were carbon copies. Such a coincidence in this world was beyond belief.
“Mother, this uncle looks very familiar. Who is he? Is he your friend?” Yun Xia pointed her stubby little finger at Changqi behind her. She was very smart, not rushing to call the man father, but rather taking it step by step, batting her eyes at Su Zhiruan and, by retreating, attempted to coax Changqi into confessing the truth himself.
“Xiaxia is very bright,” Su Zhiruan simply ruffled her hair and then stood up, “Would Xiaxia like to have this uncle stay in the Imperial Palace?”
With those words, the decision was handed over to Yun Xia, who blinked again and looked at Changqi.
At this moment, Changqi was inexplicably seized with a bit of nervousness. He had never felt such an emotion before, but now it was real and present in his mind.
In the past, he had been like a hard rock, never swayed or touched by anyone, let alone experiencing such peculiar emotions. But now, he was moved by a little girl in a way that was alien to him.
“Xiaxia is willing! Xiaxia likes uncle, Xiaxia wants the uncle to stay in the Imperial Palace so we can play together! And the brothers would definitely like uncle too.” Yun Xia was very clear in her heart that the man before her must be her biological father. She looked at Su Zhiruan, whose eyes also turned towards Changqi.
She knew she was just a child, free to express her likes and dislikes without suspicion, simply because she was innocently fond of the uncle.
Su Zhiruan smiled and nodded, agreeing with her words.
“Since you like this uncle, then let’s have this uncle take you out for a walk and have fun.” Su Zhiruan knew that Changqi had already realized Xiaxia was his child. Even if she interfered, the bond between father and daughter had been established and was beyond her control. She might as well create opportunities for them to meet and talk, to see how deep the connection between father and daughter was.
Though she was the biological mother of the four children, now that their biological father had appeared, if she were to interfere, it would only cause the children to become suspicious and Changqi to harbor doubts. If Changqi decided to take the children away later, she would be powerless to stop him. Therefore, the best approach was to let them spend time together and then ask the children for their opinions.
“Yes, yes, yes!!! Xiaxia likes to play with uncle. Uncle looks a lot like Xiaxia’s friend. Since uncle is Mother’s friend, he is Xiaxia’s friend too. Uncle! Xiaxia is willing to take you out to explore the town; there are so many fun things out there.” Xiaxia, acting spoiled like any other adorable little girl, spoke in a soft, coaxing voice. Hardly anyone could refuse her request.
