"Can you sit down first, so we can talk properly?" she looked up, her eyes calmly meeting his.
Qiao Yiyang sneered coldly, his eyes filled with the pain of deception and thick anger.
"I get it now, the one you wanted me to protect is him, right? And he, to my astonishment, is Rong Shaoze’s child!"
He could protect Rong Shaoze’s mother, he could protect anyone related to Rong Shaoze, but he would never protect Rong Shaoze’s child!
No wonder she requested to be in a relationship with him, because the person she needed him to protect was worth everything to her!
And he was foolish enough to agree to her.
What he had never expected was that she and Rong Shaoze already had a child!
Qiao Yiyang felt like a fool as he realized that Lin Xinlan had deceived and wanted to use him.
The pain and anger inside of him made his whole body tense, his expression filled with darkness, and the veins on his forehead throbbed visibly.
Lin Xinlan knew he was angry; she hung her head slightly, her appearance somewhat helpless and forlorn.
"No matter whose child he is, I only know that he is my child. Qiao Yiyang, are you willing to protect my child?"
She asked in a low voice, her tone soft and gentle, inexplicably quenching his rage and arousing his protective instinct.
Rong Mingyan also figured out Lin Xinlan’s intention.
He let out a cold laugh, a frosty sharpness flickering in his eyes.
This woman was quite something!
Knowing that he would go after Rong Shaoze’s child, she sought Qiao Yiyang’s shelter early on. Because in this world, he would only give face to Qiao Yiyang and wouldn’t oppose him.
She understood this and used it to protect her child!
However, she might be overestimating Qiao Yiyang’s feelings for her.
Did she really think that Qiao Yiyang would do anything for her?
Although Xiaocong’s appearance disrupted his plans, Lin Xinlan also made a miscalculation. Since she brought the child to him herself, he would not be blamed for wanting to nip things in the bud!
Rong Mingyan lowered his gaze to conceal the chill in his eyes, slowly sliding his hand into the pocket of his suit lining...
At this moment, the server pushed the door open, bringing in the KFC.
She sensed that something was off in the private room, carefully placed down the food, said a few words, and quickly left, closing the door behind them.
Lin Xinlan calmly began unwrapping the food package. Smelling the scent of the meal, Xiaocong grinned happily and said, "Uncle, we can eat KFC now."
Remembering they were supposed to share, he pulled on Lin Xinlan’s sleeve, pleading, "Mommy, give the uncles more. Xiaocong is young, I can eat less."
"Mmm, Mommy knows. Don’t worry, there’s plenty for everyone."
"That’s great, Mommy, I love you." Xiaocong fumbled for her face and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Qiao Yiyang saw his action, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Lin Xinlan rolled up his sleeve for him and then wiped his hands clean with a wet wipe before handing him a fried chicken leg.
"Eat up, and once you’re finished, you can have more."
"Mommy, you eat first." He held up the chicken leg, trying to feed her, but he couldn’t see her mouth, and his face instantly showed a touch of anxiety.
Lin Xinlan quickly grabbed his hand and took a small bite, "Mommy has eaten, now you eat."
Then he happily began to eat.
Lin Xinlan looked up at them and said lightly, "You all know about his condition, right?
He’s only four years old. In these four years, he has lived a very simple life, barely understanding anything.
