Chapter 376: "Tianbao, would you like me to be your Dad?" (3)
“Yes, Sun Qian, Hu Ruixue’s childhood friend.” Sun Qian looked at Shu Yan casually. “She must have mentioned me to you before. That’s the only reason why you would react this way when you heard my name.”
“Ahem…… she talked about you a little bit.” She did overreact a bit. She was, indeed, quite surprised. The person who was supposed to be overseas showed up all of a sudden and had a child with her. It was only reasonable that Shu Yan was surprised.
“Mom,” said the child next to Sun Qian softly as she tugged at Sun Qian’s sleeve.
“Are you thirsty?” Sun Qian poured her some water and, when the child finished drinking, looked up and smiled. “Are you wondering why I am in the country and have a child her age?” She carried on before Shu Yan said anything, “After I graduated college, I went to study abroad despite my family’s objection. My reason was simple. I like Ji Fansheng and I missed him a lot, madly, even. I didn’t think that he’d agree to be in a relationship with me. During that period of time …… I was very happy. Unfortunately, that was short lived. He disappeared during my pregnancy.”
“Ji Fansheng took off during your pregnancy?” Shu Yan had found the man revulsive before. Now she learned that he could be even more revulsive. He called himself a man? He shouldn’t even call himself human.
Sun Qian did not respond to Shu Yan’s question. Looking down at her own child, she said nonchalantly, “I couldn’t get hold of him and abortion was illegal where I was. Truth was, I want to keep Angela as well. When I was almost due, I finally broke down and let my family know. They took me back to China after I had given birth and Angela is now my brother’s child on paper. I had been living in capital city.”
“So your plan of returning was?” Shu Yan was still baffled about what Sun Qian was trying to tell her.
“I’m just here for the activities. I hadn’t planned on running into you. Don’t worry. I did not look into Hu Ruixue or you. I only asked a couple of questions when my mom mentioned something last time and I ran into you having dinner with Hu Ruixue one time. That was how I know what you look like. Perhaps I am telling you all this because I wish that you would relate them to Hu Ruixue. I regretted about my own actions. I’ve lost my best friend because of Ji Fansheng and my family is upset at me. My life is in shambles,” said Sun Qian with a bitter smile.
“One way or another, you have a child. You must have her best interest in mind.”
Sun Qian nodded. If it wasn’t for her child, she would have given up a long time ago.
“I do want to tell you something. Let Hu Ruixue know to watch out for Ji Fansheng. He is not the same person as he once was.” Sun Qian did not say much more than that.
After the activities, Tianbao held onto Shu Yan with one hand and Feng Zeyu the other. He bounced the entire way. Had they not be holding onto him, he would have bounced out of sight a long time ago.
“Dad, look at the little red flowers on my face.” Tianbao lifted up his head to show Feng Zeyu all the little red flowers on his face. There were 5 or 6 of them. He was the child with the most of them along with a lot of other prizes.
Feng Zeyu had thought that Tianbao had purposefully referred to him that way in front of his other classmates and their parents but he was still referring to him as Dad now. Feeling very emotional and warm, he asked, “Tianbao, will you be okay with… me being your father from now on?”
Tianbao gave him an odd look. Wasn’t he calling him Dad already?
