"If the other party has a powerful background, I'm afraid asking won't do any good." Old Man Liu wore a worried frown.
"No matter what, I have to try."
Qi Jinghe knew the hope was slim, but he wasn't willing to give up.
There was always a way if people put their minds to it.
At worst, their whole family would leave this place.
As if he had thought of something, he turned to look at his son, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. His gaze fell on those eyes, so strikingly different from his own.
Qi Jinghe's eyes grew unfocused.
"Father, she said Yue'er is her son—her biological son."
Old Man Liu froze. "What?"
"She said that six years ago, Li Dabao drugged my water, and afterward..."
Qi Jinghe briefly recounted what had happened back then.
The sudden news left Old Man Liu somewhat dazed.
"She was only sixteen at the time, still a minor..."
Underage girls were not allowed to marry, precisely because marriage could affect their physical development.
Da Qiao hadn't grown much taller over the past few years. Could it be that...
"Alas, what a terrible sin."
Old Man Liu let out a heavy sigh.
"Jing He, you can't blame her for this. She wasn't in her right mind then..."
"I'm not blaming her."
Although she was strong, she was small, barely reaching his shoulder. She had also been drunk at the time.
He... No matter how he thought about it, he felt he had acted dishonorably.
Ahem. There probably wasn't another man in history as rash as him, actually pouncing on a woman...
Although he had been drugged at the time, still...
However, he was very glad—glad that the person he had encountered then was her, rather than Li Dabao, who had drugged him.
