Chapter 825: Chapter 825 The Dan Family Has More Than One Son! Chapter 825: Chapter 825 The Dan Family Has More Than One Son! Seeing his provocation, Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, worried that Dan Hanjie would toss him out in a fit of anger.
“Chiyo Ito is pregnant,” Qin Youxuan blurted out, staring directly at Dan Hanxi.
Dan Hanjie wouldn’t have called Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi over for no reason, Qin Youxuan surmised; this issue was likely very much connected to Dan Hanxi.
She just didn’t know how he would react upon learning that Chiyo Ito was pregnant.
“Pregnant?” A fleeting gloom passed through Dan Hanxi’s eyes.
His gaze landed on Chiyo Ito’s belly, and a sarcastic smile played on his lips, “Miss Ito sure is capable, to get herself pregnant in such a short period, quite a feat.”
Chiyo Ito stiffened upon hearing his words, not daring to move an inch.
Qin Youxuan, observing the interaction between the two, could somewhat discern the complexities of their relationship.
However, she couldn’t detect the slightest bit of guilt on Dan Hanxi’s face and had no clue whether the child in Chiyo Ito’s womb had anything to do with him.
Qin Youxuan turned to Dan Hanjie, noting that he, too, was merely squinting his eyes and assessing the two without speaking.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
“You called us all here just for this matter?” Dan Rong’s voice deepened as his sharp old eyes fell on Chiyo Ito’s belly.
Chiyo Ito shivered under his gaze, instinctively shielding her belly with her hand.
“Miss Ito insists that the child in her belly is from the Dan Family. I thought since the Dan Family has more than one son, of course, I also invited the father over to uphold justice, to prevent Miss Ito from mistaking the person and making a joke,” said Dan Hanjie, his tone filled with mockery.
“The Dan Family indeed has more than one son, but it’s unlikely this has anything to do with me,” Dan Hanxi met Dan Rong’s inquiring gaze, his lips curving slightly as he leaned back with his head resting against his hand.
“Dad, there’s something I have always forgotten to tell you. I had a vasectomy two years ago, so even if by chance I slept with a woman from the Ito Family, that seed in her belly could not possibly be mine.”
It was like a bolt from the blue.
At Hanxi’s words, everyone looked up at him in shock.
Dan Hanxi arched an eyebrow, “My medical records have the date; whether it’s true or not can easily be checked.”
Hearing this, the expression on Dan Rong’s face became inscrutable.
Ito Hiroki, however, was furious, rising excitedly from the couch, “Dan Hanjie, what more do you have to say now!”
Chiyo Ito looked utterly defeated, still reeling from Dan Hanxi’s declaration.
Her hands clenched into tight fists, nails digging into her palms with no sign of pain.
“Since no one is claiming the child, perhaps Miss Ito should think carefully about who the real father is. If she truly cannot remember, no matter—it won’t be much trouble. Once her belly is larger, we can take some blood from the fetus for a DNA test, and no secrets will be kept anymore,” Dan Hanjie coldly suggested, eyes fixed on Chiyo Ito’s stomach.
“Dan Hanjie, don’t be too smug. If the child is yours, you can’t deny it. When Ito’s belly grows, everyone will know you’re the coward who doesn’t dare to acknowledge his own child!”
“Heh, Mr. Ito seems very eager for me to claim this child. Those who don’t know any better might think you’re looking to climb onto a new branch, forsaking your old loyalties, insisting on clinging to me, Dan Hanjie,” he insinuated, twirling Qin Youxuan’s small hand in his own while looking at Dan Rong.
Now that everyone had gathered, it wouldn’t do to let this play conclude without leaving something behind.
