Xia Xingchen was quite distressed when he mentioned this matter. He lowered his head and glanced at his son, and asked without shame: "Hey, Dabai, tell me, is there any trick that can coax your Xiaobai and ask for his forgiveness?"
Xia Dabai thought about it seriously, and then said, "How about buying Xiaobai two lollipops and trying? If you want to coax me, two lollipops will be enough!"
Xia Xingchen really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It would be nice if Xiaobai was as easy to please as you. But speaking of shopping..." She picked the child up from the ground, "Grandma's birthday is in a few days. Let's go pick out a gift for her now, okay?"
"Are you talking about Grandma Lan?"
"Um."
"Dabao, why do you call Second Grandpa and Grandma Lan "Dad and Mom?" Xia Dabai tilted his head and asked a question that he had never understood, "Isn't Grandma your mom?"
"Well, grandma is my mother. But Grandma Lan is also my mother." She tried to explain to her son as simply as possible, "Grandma raised me, and Grandma Lan gave birth to me."
Xia Dabai blinked twice, "Then... Grandpa is not actually your biological father. Your biological father is your second grandfather?"
"clever."
"So, Dabao, you were like me, and didn't have a father when you were a child?"
"..." Xia Xingchen smiled and pinched his little face, "What do you mean the same as you? You are still a child now, isn't Xiaobai right beside you?"
"That's right. So, I seem to be a little happier than you!"
"Who said that? I have two dads and two moms now. More than you."
Xia Dabai was unwilling to admit defeat, "Then I have two grandparents, and a grandpa and a grandma."
The next moment, he remembered something and stared: "That's not right! Dabao, Second Grandpa is your father and Xiaobai's uncle, so what you are doing is..."
He tilted his head, frowned, and thought for a long time, "Should I call Xiaobai dad or uncle? Oh, I can't think straight!"
"…" Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If you really dare to call Xiaobai 'cousin', be careful or Xiaobai will get angry with you."
"But, he is my cousin now."
She raised her hand and pinched Xia Dabai's nose, "You little rascal. Don't worry, Grandpa and Second Grandpa are not brothers. Second Grandpa was adopted by Grandpa's family."
Xia Dabai scratched his head, thought for a while, and finally shook his head in giving up. "Your adult world is so complicated. I don't understand it!"
"If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it. It's better to accompany me to pick out a gift for grandma."

the other side.
Country M.
night.
Chi Weiyang had finished dinner and was clearing the table. After Fu Yichen came that day, there was no news from him for two consecutive days.
She thought, maybe, he has left!
His children at home were missing him, and his wife was waiting for him. He shouldn't have stayed here.
It’s better to leave…
Although I was thinking this, I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart. I felt that the temperature of the fireplace in the room had dropped a lot.
At this moment, the ringing of a bell suddenly broke the silence of the night.
It's her cell phone.
She came back to her senses and took the phone. The screen showed an incoming call from Country S, but it was an unfamiliar number. She didn't know if it was Xingchen.
She pondered for a moment and put the phone to her ear.
"Hello."
She spoke first, but after waiting for a while, there was no sound from the other end.
Chi Weiyang was puzzled and asked again: "Hello, who are you?"
There was silence again over there.
When Chi Weiyang thought it was a prank call and was about to hang up, he heard a strange voice on the other end, "Miss Chi?"
The hand holding the phone tightened.
She stood there stiffly, her hands on the table.
Although the other party had not yet introduced himself, she had already guessed who it was.
Her breathing tightened. Now it was her turn to remain silent. She felt guilty. After all, she was a disgusting mistress in a marriage. She was not so shameless as to speak confidently in front of his legitimate wife.
"Miss Chi?" Not hearing her voice, the person on the other end asked again.
She resisted the urge to hang up the phone, covered the receiver, took several deep breaths, and evened out her breathing, "… It's me."
How did she get her own number
However, women have always been detectives.
If Fu Yichen could find a way to find her and her phone number, then she must have plenty of ways too.
"Hello. My name is Su Suyun. I should have called you a long time ago, but I couldn't find a good opportunity, so I kept putting it off until now. I'm so sorry." The woman's voice was soft and friendly, and every word was gentle.
Chi Weiyang could almost imagine what kind of woman the other person was when he heard this.
She must be a good wife and mother, the kind of woman who supports her husband and raises her children!
She is a completely different type...
When she was a child, she was naughty and always jumped up and down in the orchard in her hometown, picking peaches and hitting pears. At that time, Fu Yichen always had a stern face and was angry with her, and would not allow her to climb up and down, saying it was dangerous.
Perhaps he didn't like a rough girl like her! Just as grandpa and grandma said, girls should be gentle and beautiful to be liked.
Isn't the person on the other end of the phone the 'gentle and charming' type as they call her
Thinking about the past and the present, my heart was filled with sadness. My eyes were red, but I smiled. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I heard from Yi Chen that he went to your place two days ago. I also know... that you have his child now, and he told me everything."
Chi Weiyang's breathing became tense.
They have a great relationship as husband and wife. He didn't even hide this from her...
She took a deep breath and held on to the table with her hands. She opened her lips and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't utter a single word.
Su Suyun continued, "Yi Chen said that you want to sign an agreement with him, and he will bear half of the child's living expenses in the future."
"No. I also said... before the agreement, I have to respect your opinion." Chi Weiyang's white fingertips almost pinched into the table. She tried her best to make her voice sound normal and her tone as relaxed as possible, "I don't actually need him to pay for me. The child is mine and has nothing to do with him. I know you mind, so... I don't need your money."
"Ms. Chi, you misunderstood me." Su Suyun didn't have the arrogant attitude of a real mistress, but was gentle and good-tempered. "Actually... I wanted to say that all the expenses before and after your child is born should be borne by Yi Chen and me."
