Chapter 22: An Earth-Shattering Secret

Huaili gripped his phone tightly and said, “I want to go to sister’s house to play…”

“Go ahead.”

After a pause, the person on the phone, Li Qianli asked again, “Is there anything else?”

Huaili replied, “No.”

Li Qianli replied with an indifferent “Hmm” and immediately hung up the phone.

He did not even ask where this “sister” lived.

He also did not say when he would pick up Huaili and bring him home. This time, even Ci Yanfeng felt a little sympathy for this little guy.

Such a cute little kid, but he was actually a pitiful little kid who had no one to love him?

Ci Yanfeng looked at Huaili with a complicated expression. Huaili lowered his eyelids and curled his eyelashes like a porcelain doll. He thought that Ci Yanfeng would comfort him, but he did not expect Ci Yanfeng to still be indifferent.

Huaili pursed his lips and got down from Yunsha’s arms. He changed into a pair of shoes, but he was still wearing a pair of fluffy pajamas. He opened his hands and looked like he wanted to hug her. “Sister, let’s go!”

His pronunciation was very cute. When he said “Sister,” his mouth would pout. His lips were like a child’s, like a budding flower.

Yunsha felt that her heart was about to melt from the cuteness.

However, before she could bend over to pick him up again, Ci Yanfeng reached out with his big hand and pulled Huaili into his arms.

Yun Sha was stunned.

Big brother also liked this child?

Ci Yanfeng looked at the little guy in his arms. His eyes were clearly filled with disgust, as if he was silently asking the child in his mind, “Don’t you know how to walk?”

Huaili also frowned and replied with a look in his eyes, “Who asked you to carry me?”

The two of them looked at each other with disgust.

However, when Ci Yanfeng turned his head and looked at Yun Sha, his face transformed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. “I’ll carry him and walk.”

There was silence all the way.

When they reached the parking spot, Ci Yanfeng placed the child in the passenger seat without any explanation.

In fact, he actually wanted Yunsha to sit here.

But he felt that if he put the child in the back, Yunsha might sit in the back with the child and he did not want Yunsha to sit with him.

“Don’t out me here!” Huaili whimpered and said pitifully, “Children under the age of 12 are not suitable to sit in the front row. I’m only three and a half years old this year…”

“…”

Excellent. The kid said those two sentences with a clear focus and hit the nail on the head. He did not sound like a child at all!

“I’ll sit in the back with him,” Yunsha said.

No matter how reluctant Ci Yanfeng was, he did not want his sister to know that he rejected this child. He could only nod his head in agreement.

…

After Lu Youqi and her boyfriend had separated, she dialed her cousin’s number.

“Hello?”

Lei Tingye’s deep and magnetic voice sounded.

“Brother!” Lu Youqi called.

Lei Tingye was extremely puzzled, because this cousin of his had always called him by his name, unless she had something to ask of him.

“What’s wrong?”

Lei Tingye’s relationship with this cousin of his was very ordinary, and they rarely contacted each other.

“Brother, you… have you been in contact with Ci Yunsha recently?” Lu Youqi asked in a low voice.

Hearing Ci Yunsha’s name, Lei Tingye’s brows involuntarily raised as he replied softly, “Yes.”

“Then, do you know what her family background is like?” Lu Youqi’s voice was trembling from her excitement, as if she had discovered a shocking secret.

“I don’t know.” Lei Tingye’s voice was flat. He only knew that Yunsha’s family background should be decent, but he did not know the details. Moreover, this was not something that Lu Youqi should be concerned about.

His cousin’s family was very powerful. Lei Tingye remembered that when he was young, he used to visit his cousin’s house. His cousin’s family was especially unfriendly to his family. They spoke with hidden needles in their words, speaking of how Lei Tingye’s family were poor relatives who were only friendly with them in order to borrow money.

Later on, when Lei Tingye reached the age where he enrolled in school, his grades were ranked at the very top. His cousin’s family’s attitude towards his family changed. During the new year, they would even put on a fake smile to praise Lei Tingye a few times..
