A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

"Agreed?!"

Fu Jiajia's eyes widened in surprise.

She thought Fu Yanshi wouldn't agree anytime soon.

Xu Qinghuan didn't say anything. Seeing that her younger sister was about to start chattering, Nie Zhisen interrupted her at the right time, "Then I'll take you back. Huanhuan, you two have a good chat, and don't hurt yourselves... or the baby in your bellies."

He was deliberately reminding her to see Xu Qinghuan's reaction.

If she had only said she wanted to keep the child on a whim, she wouldn't care about the child's safety and would have been indifferent. But if she genuinely wanted to keep the child, even if it was just a fleeting thought, she would have subconsciously agreed.

The air seemed to freeze, and those few seconds felt like centuries.

Xu Qinghuan slowly raised her head, her voice so hoarse it was almost unrecognizable, "Can...can I keep him...?"

Wouldn't that mean I've really followed in my mother's footsteps?

She didn't even know what to do next, keep the child, and then what?

"Of course you can, then you'll have a blood relative in this world!" Nie Zhisen's eyes were sincere, warm and gentle like a neighbor's older brother, constantly shining a warm light on her, trying to brighten her world.

Fu Jiajia chimed in, nodding in agreement, and excitedly grabbed Xu Qinghuan's hand, "If you give birth, I'll be the child's godmother! Your baby will definitely be exceptionally beautiful. Oh my, just thinking about it makes me wish you could give birth to him right now!"

Looking at their hopeful eyes, Xu Qinghuan felt a mix of emotions, and her eyes began to sting.

Yes, even though I lost my mother, there are still people in this world who care about me and stay by my side no matter what.

"I'll think about it carefully."

……

By the time we got back to Dongyue Bay, it was already getting dark.

Xu Qinghuan got out of the car and subconsciously looked up at the floor where Fu Yanshi lived. The living room light was on, and he should be waiting for her there.

My steps faltered for a moment, as if I had taken root and didn't want to move.

Fu Jiajia got out of the car with her and patted Xu Qinghuan's shoulder, "Are you alright by yourself? Or I'll go up with you!"

"No need, I have to face it eventually."

Ms. Zheng has passed away. I am no longer a child. There is no escaping reality.

"Then my brother and I will wait for you here. Call me if you need anything."

Xu Qinghuan forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly. "He won't hurt me, don't worry. You're all tired too, go back and rest."

"But you..."

"This may be the last time we see each other, Jiajia. I want to spend more time with him."

Now that things had been said, even Fu Jiajia, who was usually quite naive, understood! She nodded, "Okay, then we'll be going."

Xu Qinghuan watched their car leave before turning around and going upstairs.

This time, instead of pressing the keypad to unlock the door, she rang the doorbell and reached out to touch the door, only to find that it wasn't locked at all! From the gradually opening crack, Xu Qinghuan smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

Without thinking, she quickly opened the door and went inside.

To everyone's surprise, Fu Yanshi was sitting on the carpet in front of the living room sofa, chugging one glass of wine after another. The coffee table was filled with ashtrays full of cigarette butts, with a few still smoking.

As far as I can remember, he has never been an alcoholic, much less drunk like this!

"Fu Yanshi, your stomach won't be able to handle drinking like this!"
