Han Zixin and little Yiyi were looking at each other. They looked the same as they showed each other’s attitude. Even the way he smirked was the same as she did. When they sized each other from head to toe, they had their arms crossed over their chest. As if they had every data about each other that they needed, they harrumphed and turned their gazes away.
Han Nanxian and Han Qian looked at each other and signed. These two had not expected Han Zixin and Yiyi to have this much rivalry as soon as they met.
“Ge, “Han Zixin said to Han Nanxian with his eyes everywhere but at the little girl.
“Gege, “Yiyi said, holding Han Nanxian’s cuff of the sleeve. Her tone was full of grievance.
At this time, Song Xueyun was sitting on the sofa with Leo. She looked at the happy dog and said, “Baby Leo, do you want entertainment?”
Leo barked in agreement.
“Look at your daddy and his two darlings. It is going to be an interesting day, “Song Xueyun said with a smile and fed treats to the dog. As if the dog could understand what this human was up to, he barked in excitement.
“I wonder which darling will win. The new one or the old one, “Song Xueyun said to Leo. “Poor, my husband.”

“Then, Yiyi should sit with Zi Gege and I will bring you water, “Han Nanxian said softly.
“No more Gege. Only Gege, “Yiyi said. She was clear that there was only one Gege and it was Han Nanxian. She felt a sense of crisis from the person who came a little while ago. This person was dressed in all black and she didn’t get good feelings from him. He was scary in little Yiyi’ mind. Moreover, when Han Nanxian gave a little of his attention to Han Zixin, she felt a sense of crisis. She felt as if this new person was going to be a threat to her place in her Gege’s life who she just found.
A few minutes ago, when Yiyi’s parent’s video-called her. The girl was so lost in Han Nanxian that she didn’t even give her attention to her parents. Her mother was worried sick. She had never been apart from her daughter. Mrs. Han could not understand how her husband could send their little daughter to Han Nanxian’s house when the girl had never met him. She was calling her husband heartless all the while but when she finally called get daughter who she thought would be crying and screaming for her mother, she understood who was the bigger heartless in the family.
Her daughter was so happy with new found family that she didn’t even care about her parents. Mrs Han had a feeling that this daughter of hers was not going to be that filial. Yiyi met her brother for the first time and already forgot her parents. How could a child do that?
“Will you stop crying?” Mr Han asked his wife who was wasting one tissue after another. She was sniffling and wiping her tears with those tissue papers.
“How can I?” Mrs Han cried. “If you are heartless, my daughter doesn’t have me in her heart at all. Did you see how many times I called her name? But she didn’t even bother to look at me. Does our Yiyi not love us?”
Han Ziqiu heaved out a sigh. “It is not like that. It is just…”
Han Ziqiu didn’t know how to explain it to his wife but he had to tell her something or she would not stop crying. What she was thinking was not true.
“Nanxian has always loved children and children love him, “Han Ziqiu said. “He doesn’t need to do anything and they will come running to him. And Yiyi finds him charismatic. You know our daughter loved beautiful people and things. And Han Nanxian looks just like me. This is the reason why she is with him. When she went with him, she was full of curiosity. And you know her curiosity. To satisfy it, she can do anything. But when she reached there and her took care of her, she began liking him.”
“Hubby, will he be able to take care of her?” Mrs Han asked. “He is young. He and his wife don’t even have children. Does he know what to do with a child that young? I am not saying that he will not take care of her. But will he know how to do that?”
“You are worrying in vain, “Mr Han said. “He practically raised that boy. He knows how to take care of her.”
Mrs Han fell silent. She didn’t say anything after that. She didn’t want her husband to think that she did not like his sons when it was never the case. She didn’t meet his children. She knew that he had two sons from two women. And he was not close with his sons. She never tried to ask why and he never told her the reason either. Every family had some buried secrets and this family too had some and when they were ready to tell her, she would be here to listen. And for now, she should focus on her own life.
“Was the person Yiyi calling yeye your father?” Mrs Han asked. She saw a old man sitting on the sofa when she was video calling her daughter. The old man was sitting on the sofa while chatting with Song Xueyun.
Han Ziqiu nodded his head. “He is my father. If you meet him, treat him well.”
Mrs Han nodded her head. “He lives with Han Nanxian?”
“No, “Han Ziqiu answered. “He used to live with the other boy. But I heard that the boy was transferred to this city and my father also came back to live here. Anyways, my father wanted to live a life full of thrill which is possible with Zixin.”
Mrs Han realized that the Han family was filled with unusual people. “Does it mean your father came to meet Yiyi?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Certainly, “Han Ziqiu answered. “My father loved his grandchildren. He can do anything for them. He didn’t think before disowning his son for his grandsons. And Yiyi is only granddaughter and she is this young, so it is natural that he will come to meet her.”
Mrs Han had a lot of questions that she didn’t want to ask. Her husband asked her to treat his father well but he never went to meet him. He always has information on his father and son but never contacts them. He met his son today and suddenly started acting as if their relationship was normal but he was the same man who had disowned his own son. Sometimes she thinks that if she started thinking about this family, her head would start spinning.
“What is your second son like?” Mrs Han asked.
“Then, who is Han Zixin?” Mrs Han asked.
“He is Han Nanxian’s younger brother, “Han Ziqiu answered.
Mrs Han gave him a look and said, “Hubby, the way you treat him, he will treat you and your family the same. He will not like Han Nanxian to be close to Yiyi.”
Han Ziqiu laughed. “You are thinking too much, Wife. That boy was not raised by the Han family. So, he doesn’t have anything of the Han family except the DNA that he carried. His upbringing’s credit is credited to his parents. The one who raised him for a decade and then the An family who made him a decent person. Even if he wants to be mean to Yiyi, his upbringing would not let him be. I have nothing to worry about. That boy would not be an issue or threat to Yiyi or Nanxian. Neither would he be eyeing their inheritance or family.”
“Inheritance?” Mrs Han asked. “Do you think he only wants that from you? If he wanted, he would have asked a long time ago. A child needs love and recognition from his father.”
“I am not his father, “Mr Han said. “What I did to him is something a father would never do to his son. I gave him to someone else so he would have someone to call his parents. The woman who gave birth to him was selfish. She threw him away for fame and recognition and the man who had a part in giving birth to him had a selfish reason behind his birth. None of them deserved to be his parents. He had parents who gave him love, name and recognition. He remembers them with love and a smile on his face. That is enough for him.”
“The next time do not call me his father because I will never be one, “Han Ziqiu said, finally.
