Chapter 327: Whose Children Are They? (III)
“I’m not lying to you. They really are not your children. I’m only their G.o.dmother.” Qin Yutong failed to suppress her laughter upon witnessing the look on the man’s face.
Her explanation sounded convincing. Xi Ji had no choice but to accept it.
The children could not be his since his woman was not their birth mother.
He was speechless. He was delightfully showing off to his Third Elder Brother just moments ago but who would have thought this was the reality.
What was this then?
“If you’re their G.o.dmother, then I’d be their G.o.dfather,” he commented quickly after regaining his composure.
“Tsk, you really do know how to take advantage of people,” she mocked, although her cheeks were now blus.h.i.+ng with redness.
“The darlings called me papa earlier. That makes me their father,” he said with smug pride on his face.
“Can you not mention the darlings to outsiders? Their family doesn’t wish for others to learn about their existence, out of fear of inflicting unnecessary trouble on the children.” Qin Yutong was reminded of Chu Wuyou and the two children’s special condition. She feared that a slip of the tongue would create uninvited problems.
“Who are their birth parents?” Xi Ji was caught by surprise and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes. Under what circ.u.mstances would parents fear their children being known by others?
His curiosity was piqued; he wanted to know who the parents to these children were.
What kind of people could bring up such adorable and bright children?
“I can’t tell you this just yet.” Upon considering the man’s relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lanchen, she naturally would not reveal much.
“Even me? But I’m their G.o.dfather.” He was upset now. He did not like that she was keeping a secret from him.
He had already lost part of his memories to begin with. It troubled him greatly that he forgot about their past.
“Why? You wouldn’t know them even if I told you.” She made up a temporary excuse.
Tang Zhimo raised his eyebrows but he did not comment otherwise.
Tang Zhixi pouted her little lips upon hearing the woman’s lie. Uncle was working in the same company as their father. Besides, she heard the others addressing him as Vice President earlier. He must know their father if he was one of the company’s leaders.
However, Mama Yutong did not support the idea of them searching for their father. Therefore, the little girl remained silent at this moment. She decided to ask the uncle again in Mama Yutong’s absence.
Uncle must know their father thus he could a.s.sist them in looking for the latter.
Qin Yutong did not notice the little girl’s expression at the moment hence she had no idea of the girl’s scheme.
“Uncle, can you hug me?” Tang Zhixi figured she should be friendly with the man since she would require his a.s.sistance in the future.
“Of course, but you have to address me as Papa instead of Uncle, like your brother did.” XI Ji took the little girl from Qin Yutong’s arms as he corrected.
Tang Zhixi blinked innocently. It suddenly dawned upon her that she had so many fathers. Her mother’s current husband, her birth father, and this new one right here. Would she get even more fathers in the future?
“Papa.” However, she did as she was told obediently.
She figured there was no harm in that anyway. Calling him papa would make it difficult for him to refuse her pleads in the future.
