Xue Xingchen saw the man frown, and even so, he was stunningly handsome. He swallowed, thinking that if he couldn't find his father, this man could also be his father!
"Daddy, I am Xingchen..." Xue Xingchen said.
At this moment, the woman chased over and was also surprised to see the man Xue Xingchen was hugging. How could there be such a handsome man in this world?
"Daddy, she's a bad person, pretending to be my mother. How could such a handsome Daddy like you marry such an ugly wife?" Xue Xingchen pouted.
The onlookers looked at the man, then at the woman, and finally at Xue Xingchen, and involuntarily excluded the woman.
"Sister, this child is so handsome, he doesn't look like he's yours. Are you a trafficker?" A woman suddenly spoke.
The woman's face panicked, but she still spoke stubbornly, "What are you talking about? How can I not give birth to such a handsome child? This is my child."
"Young Master, it seems this child was kidnapped by her..."
The man looked at Xue Xingchen. The child's eyes were very beautiful, like a galaxy. It seemed his parents named him with this intention.
"What is his name? Where does he live?" the man asked faintly.
The woman was stunned. Her eyes darted, and she said, "His name is Gou Sheng, and he lives in the west of the city."
"Wrong, his name is Xue Xingchen."
Xue Xingchen trembled all over. He had only told the man his name was Xingchen, but not his surname. Who was this person?
Xue Song beside him also froze slightly, "Young Master..."
"Young Master Yan..."
A figure suddenly appeared. Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a beautiful figure appear. She was wearing expensive clothes and a pearl hairpin, clearly a noble lady. She walked over, took Xue Xingchen's hand, and said, "Why did you run here? Don't you know how worried your mother is about you?"
Xue Xingchen looked at the woman and raised his hands high, "Sister, hug."
Lin Shishu had never seen such a handsome child, so she couldn't help but squat down and pick him up. "Will you come back to the mansion with me?"
Xue Xingchen turned to look at the man, "Daddy, you too."
Lin Shishu's face froze slightly, and then a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in her eyes. She stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yan, my father happens to have something to discuss with you. Shall we go together?"
"Good," Yan Jinzhao nodded.
"Give my child back..." The woman stepped forward to snatch Xue Xingchen from Lin Shishu's arms, but before she could get close, Xue Song grabbed her.
"I am Lin Shishu, the daughter of Governor Lin. If you have any objections, you can come to the Governor's Mansion to find me." After speaking, Lin Shishu left with Xue Xingchen in her arms.
Everyone was shocked. Would the Governor's daughter lie?
The woman knew her lie had been exposed and her whole body went limp. Xue Song grabbed the woman and walked towards the yamen.
Xue Xingchen, nestled in Lin Shishu's arms, breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he wouldn't be kidnapped, right?
Looking at the man behind Lin Shishu, he felt at ease. Such a handsome person should not lie.
Lin Shishu felt a little strange. She didn't like children, but for some reason, when she saw this child, she couldn't help but want to get close to him.
Upon returning to the Governor's Mansion and hearing that his daughter had brought back a child, Governor Lin almost fainted. He rushed over, intending to scold his daughter, but when he saw the child in his daughter's arms, his eyes widened in surprise. How could he be so handsome?
He had never seen such a handsome child, carved from jade, with a bare, small head like a palm. But it didn't detract from his beauty at all. His eyes were like obsidian, bright as the galaxy, shining brilliantly.
"Father..." Lin Shishu felt her father would surely say she was meddling.
Governor Lin came back to his senses and his expression indeed turned grim. "Why are you still holding him? Can't you see he's tired?"
Lin Shishu was stunned, and amidst her surprise, Governor Lin carefully took the child from her. "How can he be so handsome?"
Lin Shishu breathed a sigh of relief, "Father also thinks he's handsome?"
Governor Lin glared at her and said chillingly, "If you had married earlier, I could have held the child as his maternal grandfather."
Lin Shishu's face turned slightly red. "Father, Young Master Yan is here?"
Governor Lin glanced at Yan Jinzhao and said, "I see."
If he hadn't seen him, he might not have said that.
Lin Shishu was shy. "Father, I'm taking the child. You and Young Master Yan can talk."
"Take him where? How can you, a young lady, look after a child? I will..." Governor Lin refused to hand Xue Xingchen over.
Lin Shishu was amused and helpless, so she left by herself.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the wet nurse whom Governor Lin had sent for arrived, and only then did he hand over Xue Xingchen, letting the wet nurse take him down.
For some reason, Yan Jinzhao felt a strange feeling when he saw the child being carried away. This feeling permeated his entire body, making him feel very uneasy.
"Young Master Yan, have you considered it?" Governor Lin's words brought him back to his senses.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Governor Lin continued, "You know that Shishu truly likes you, and I also think you are well-matched. If you have any other conditions, you can mention them, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Your Excellency, Miss Lin is very good, and you have done a lot. However, I do not like Miss Lin, nor do I wish to delay Miss Lin's life..."
"Yan Jinzhao, don't think that just because Shishu likes you, I will indulge you in everything. If it weren't for Shishu's affection for you, your repeated offenses would have allowed me to punish you," Governor Lin said angrily.
His daughter was perfect in every way, surpassing everyone. Even if she had any flaws, only he, her father, could speak of them; no one else could.
Yan Jinzhao's brow lightly raised. "Your Excellency, liking is only temporary, but if two people are together, it is for a lifetime. Because I don't like her, I might not be able to last a lifetime. If at that time I were to divorce Miss Lin..."
"You still want a divorce?" Governor Lin was furious, his face looking very grim.
"Your Excellency, I am merely stating the facts," Yan Jinzhao said calmly.
"I cannot control future events, but Shishu likes you now. Without you, she cannot eat or sleep. How can I marry her to someone else in such a state?" Governor Lin retorted.
Yan Jinzhao frowned. "Your Excellency, this is not a child's play."
"I am not treating it as a child's play."
"Father, don't force it anymore. Young Master Yan doesn't like me, and I don't have to cling to him," Lin Shishu suddenly ran in, crying.
Governor Lin's expression darkened. "Why are you eavesdropping here? Get out..."
Lin Shishu did not leave. Instead, she walked up to Yan Jinzhao and said seriously, "Young Master Yan, have you never liked me? Not even a little bit?"
