He Wang took a photo of Youyou squatting there and playing with her on his cell phone and sent it to the four people.

He Wang: [Guess whose child this is? If you guess correctly, there will be a prize.]

Buzz.

A notification came from the cell phone. Wen Ye was the first to become active.

Wen Ye: [You went to be someone’s stepfather?]

The smile on He Wang’s lips suddenly froze. After clicking his tongue, he sent a voice message to the group. “You’re short-haired and short-witted. Please open your mind and make a bold guess.”

Wen Ye also sent a voice message. “Heh, your hair is long.”

He Wang replied, “Are you a descendant of Archimedes?”

Wen Ye said, “Hey, what a coincidence. My mother just told me this secret

yesterday. I’m indeed Archimedes’ descendant. I specialize in going against you.”

He Wang:

Qin Zhuoning, who had been quiet, spoke. “Whose child?”

Finally, someone was curious!

He Wang laughed so hard that his chest trembled. Youyou turned to look at him, and the smile on He Wang’s lips froze. Did he laugh too loudly just now and scare the child?

Youyou threw away the Ultraman in her hand and squeezed over to crane her neck to look at He Wang’s phone. “I want to see~”.

He Wang smiled and asked, “Child, can you read?” Youyou shook her head. “No.”

He Wang chuckled. “Then what are you looking at?”

Youyou pulled a long face. “I can understand speech.”

Her stiff expression really looked like Pei Jingzhou at first glance, but He Wang felt that she looked more like Li Xiwu. Damn… Could this really be Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law’s child? If it was, this was too shocking!!

Buzz.

Just as He Wang was distracted, his cell phone beeped again. It was a voice message from Qin Zhuoning. Before he could open it, Youyou had already opened that voice message.

Qin Zhuoning said, “The child of a relative should have appeared in Tanhua Manor, not Lake Lu. The environment should be at Lake Lu now. Is it the child of Li Xiwu’s friend?”

Qin Zhuoning was the most serious. He would observe carefully first, then use the elimination method, and finally give the most reasonable guess. Unlike He Wang and Wen Ye, who did not argue properly.

“Hehe.” Youyou turned to grin at He Wang and gave him a thumbs up. “He’s so smart.”

He Wang immediately said, “Little Youyou, I’ll press the voice button. Can you repeat what you just said?”

Youyou snorted. “No.”

He Wang coaxed, “If you say it, I’ll buy you something delicious next time.”

At the mention of delicious food, Youyou’s eyes lit up. She raised her chin high. “Then I’ll reluctantly praise him.”

He Wang thought that she was too cute. He was going to give birth to such a cute daughter in the future, but he didn’t even have a partner now. Seeing Youyou come over, he quickly pressed the voice message. Youyou cooperated and said that.

The voice message lasted only three seconds before it was sent.

He Wang bared his front teeth and smiled. Seeing that he was smiling happily, Youyou raised her hand and gestured. He Wang asked, “What do you mean?

Youyou counted them with her fingers for He Wang to see. “I want grapefruit cake, strawberry cake, candied hawthorn, jelly, and… Oh, it’s too much at once. I have to think about it.”

He Wang put down his phone. “There’s no hurry. Take your time. I can buy you anything you want to eat, but you have to answer me a question.”

Youyou blinked her big, curious eyes. “What?”

He Wang asked, “Who are your parents?”

The curiosity on Youyou’s face quickly disappeared. She turned around and ignored He Wang, continuing to play Ultraman. He Wang moved over and looked at the little girl’s sulking expression. He wondered if he had asked the wrong question.

But he’d only asked who her parents were. That wasn’t allowed?

He Wang hadn’t realized that he had asked a question he shouldn’t have. He stepped on a sore spot and continued to jump. He leaned over and asked unwillingly, “Little Youyou, just tell me who your parents are. I’ll buy you those snacks immediately.”

These words did not move Youyou at all. She ignored He Wang and played with her toys alone.

“So it’s not easy to guess girls’ minds. There’s no age difference.” He Wang didn’t know why he had made Little Youyou angry again.

He couldn’t even find the reason, so he naturally didn’t know how to coax her. At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Pei

Jingzhou coming out of the kitchen, so he stood up and shouted, “Fourth Brother.”

Pei Jingzhou walked over with the same expression as before. He asked, “What’s wrong?

He Wang scratched the back of his head and said, “I just asked Little Youyou who her parents were, but she ignored me. She seemed to be angry.”

Pei Jingzhou looked up at He Wang. This glance made He Wang even more confused. He even vaguely sensed the coldness on Fourth Brother.

He Wang realized something and his eyes suddenly widened. He leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice. “Fourth Brother, this child’s parents aren’t gone, are they?”

Space instantly froze. However, before He Wang could notice, he began to mutter to himself again, “If that’s the case, I’ll be damned. I spilled salt on the scar of a four-year-old girl.” Thinking of this, He Wang was very annoyed and regretful.

“He Wang.” Pei Jingzhou’s voice was low with indistinct anger.

He Wang looked up blankly. “Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Youyou’s parents are still alive.”

When He Wang heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. His expression immediately relaxed and he placed his hands on his waist. “Fourth Brother, you should have said so earlier. I was so guilty just now. I thought…”

He Wang did not repeat that unlucky sentence. Looking at Pei Jingzhou’s cold expression, He Wang felt that the coldness on Pei Jingzhou’s body would freeze him to death. However, he was more curious now. “Fourth Brother, where are this child’s parents?”

Pei Jingzhou’s thin lips moved. “In front of you.”

He Wang grinned. “In front of me, isn’t it… Huh?”

What’s going on? In front of him? Wasn’t Pei Jingzhou in front of him?! This child’s parents were Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law? But this was… too illogical.

He Wang thought for a moment. “Don’t tell me you adopted her?” This logic made sense.

Pei Jingzhou walked past He Wang. “Biologically.”

He Wang watched Pei Jingzhou walk towards Youyou and was dumbfounded. “No way?!”

Youyou was playing Ultraman at the side. She looked like she was playing, but in fact, she was really unhappy.

Pei Jingzhou walked to Youyou’s side and squatted down to call her. ‘iYouyou?

Youyou turned to look at Pei Jingzhou and pouted. Then, she turned around and continued to fiddle with the Ultraman in her hand unhappily. Pei Jingzhou tried to reach out and grab Youyou’s arm. He pulled her over very gently and slowly. Youyou stood in front of Pei Jingzhou with a tense expression, not letting go of the toy in her hand.

Pei Jingzhou asked softly, “What’s wrong?

Youyou remained silent.

Pei Jingzhou slowly raised his hand and asked Youyou, “Are you angry?

Youyou pouted. “I want to go home..”
