Chapter 156 - Siying's Wish For A Sibling

"..."

Zhiyuan looked at him, stupefied and at a loss for words.

"You want to marry my daughter who hasn't even been born yet!"

Nana coughed and tried to calm down the situation. "It's okay. Jun is just joking. Haha."

Jun seriously said, "I am not joking. And father-in-law. It's not marrying. I will simply claim her as my wife. We can only marry at the appropriate age. I am against child marriage and so should you too."

"!!!"

Xinyi's mouth violently twitched. She glanced at Zhiyuan and for the first time, he seemed so irritated and angry at a child. He was always a calm and gentle person, but today Jun brought out another side to him.

Zhiyuan angrily laughed at Jinhai. "Stop your son from saying this nonsense!"

Jinhai sneered. "Why so? Did you stop your son from approaching my daughter?"

He was stunned. "That was just friendship and getting to know each other! He is talking about marriage! My daughter hasn't even been born yet!"

Jun said, "Exactly why I am already claiming her as mine."

Xinyi burst into laughter. "So cute."

Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. "What is so cute in this?"

"I mean Jun is a good boy. I wouldn't mind if our daughter marries him in the future-"

The words stopped as soon as she realized it. She froze and immediately stupid for thinking that.

What am I thinking?

She knew in what circumstances Siying was born. There was no way that they would have a second child.

Zhiyuan indignantly said, "My daughter will not marry anybody."

Jinhai raised his brow. "I wouldn't mind marriage relations with the Han family."

Nana brightened. "That will be such a good idea!"

Zhiyuan's face darkened. Then he smiled as he challenged him. "Of course. We would be happy to have Nuo in our family too. See? She already thinks of Siying as her prince."

As if imaginary lightning crackled between them, the atmosphere came to a standstill. They silently glared at each other with the threat in their gazes as clear as day.

"Mr. Liu. I appreciate Liu Jun saving my son and bringing him here. But that doesn't mean that my daughter would marry him in exchange for his help!"

Xinyi thought that Zhiyuan would be a chilled father if he had a daughter. But now she understood that he would be just as over-protective.

Nana smacked Jun's head and glared at him. "You! Why did you suddenly bring this claiming wife topic out of nowhere?"

Jun said, "I already decided when I saw Aunt Xinyi. She is beautiful, pretty and kind. Of course, her daughter would be just like her. Plus, Aunt and I have seemed to have already met when I was a baby. So, there is a connection too."

The twins were horrified. "You are already thinking so far?"

He nudged his spectacles up and looked at them in disdain. "Planning is necessary to have a happy life. Before anybody falls in love with my future wife, I need to take measures."

Zhiyuan was so mad that he wished to throw this kid out. But then he remembered that the place was his mother's restaurant.

What future wife!?

Siying trotted to Zhiyuan's side and asked with a sparkling gaze. "Dada! Siying get a sister?"

Xinyi was shocked. Before she could say anything, Zhiyuan smiled and patted his head. "You want a sister?"

"En!"

Siying nervously fidgeted with his fingers. "Big bro Jun has brothers and sister. It looks fun to play with them."

Indeed when Siying saw Jun with Jian, Nian, Jin and Nuo, he suddenly felt that he was so lonely. The fun bullying and pulling each other's legs and their banter made him realize that he was always alone in the Han villa. He was too small to realize the loneliness until now, but when he saw such a big family, he couldn't help but wish to have his own brother or sister too to have fun with.

"Siying wants a brother or sister too!"

Xinyi widened her eyes and felt sorry for Siying. Since she always had Yunru as her brother, she never felt lonely or the lack of a sibling's love in her life. Yunru sighed.

Xinyi hesitated. He was too young to understand things but that didn't mean she wanted to lie to him. Considering her and Zhiyuan's relationship, a second child…

"Siying…"

Zhiyuan ruffled his head and chuckled. "But you have to be patient. A sibling won't just appear overnight."

Xinyi looked at him, dumbfounded.

What?

She wondered if she heard it right.

Caihong amusingly raised her brow at his statement and watched Xinyi go into deep shock.

There Liu Jun is already claiming their daughter as his wife, and here Xinyi and Zhiyuan are backward even more than the children!

Siying's face brightened. "Siying really get a brother or sister?"

Zhiyuan peeked at Xinyi who was looking at him in a stunned expression. Then she quickly lowered her eyes and looked away in embarrassment.

A soft smile tugged the corner of his lips. He had already realized his feelings for Xinyi and he was going to work hard to confess his love. He had already decided on his first date with her after the picnic, but then Siying got sick and they had to focus on his recovery first.

He was anxious because Qin Fuhua was back and in no way did he want him to affect her once again. He wanted to win her heart before Qin Fuhua could make any place in her life again. And now that they found Siying safe and sound, he would be able to focus on his relationship with her.

So if everything went well and they confessed their feelings, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that they could think about a second child. Also, when he saw Nuo, the wish to have a daughter fueled him all the more. He was mesmerized by how Nuo resembled Nana so much and he immediately thought about how their daughter would look.

A little Xinyi would be so cute…

He thought and grinned to himself.

Jun commented. "What's the problem, father-in-law? You seem to be in a daze."

Zhiyuan grimaced and glared at him. "Don't call me that."

"It's only proper to address you by the appropriate title."

This brat!

Jinhai and Zhiyuan were still busy with their cold war when Nana approached Xinyi. "Leave the men to themselves. They are being stupid about this."

Xinyi awkwardly smiled. She still couldn't get Zhiyuan's meaning out of her mind. She couldn't understand if Zhiyuan agreed to Siying just to keep his mind or if he actually meant it.

Nana said, "I am so glad to meet you again! Such a coincidence to meet us again like this."

Xinyi nodded. "Yes! Actually…I always wanted to meet you again."

It was Nana's words that had saved her that day. If not for her and Jun, Siying wouldn't have been there today.

"I am really grateful to you for that day. You really helped me. I…"

Nana smiled and held her hand. "You don't have to thank me. I am just glad I could help you," she chuckled. "I am really happy to meet your son. He is already three. Time flies so fast. He is so cute! Thank God nothing happened to him. By the way, I see you have company."

Xinyi bit her tongue and knocked on her forehead. "I am sorry I didn't introduce them," she pointed behind her, "He is my twin brother, Soo Yunru."

"Oh! Twins!"

Yunru nodded. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Liu. As a cop and Siying's Uncle, I sincerely thank you for all your help."

"You don't have to."

Caihong then came forward and smiled. "Hello. I am Zhu Caihong. Xinyi, Zhiyuan and we are college friends. I was worried about Siying so couldn't help but come here."

"Nice to meet you too!" Nana's gaze then shifted at a corner. "And he…"

Caihong cleared her throat. "He is my husband, Zhu Xiaosi."

Nana was slow in responding to that. "...Oh."

She furrowed her brows and stared at him. Xiaosi narrowed his eyes at her and smiled. "Long time no see, Nana. I see you have trouble recognizing me."

Caihong widened her eyes and looked at him in shock. Nana was just as stunned. Then her lips parted in a big O as she finally realized it. "You! You are Zhu Xiaosi!"

He shrugged.

Xinyi asked, "You two know each other?"

Not only her, but Jinhai asked the same question at the same time.

"Yes! Xiaosi and I used to live at Sunshine Orphanage."

Caihong rapidly blinked her eyes. "You…"

She smiled. "Yes. I lived in an orphanage until I was three and then a family adopted me. The memories are really faint because I didn't live there for much longer. But Xiaosi and I lived at the same orphanage. That's why it took a while to recognize him."

Jinhai coldly stared at him and pursed his lips as he whined. "You never told me about him."

"..."

"That topic never came up plus Xiaosi and I stayed together for a short time."

His brow twitched.

Caihong quietly stared at him. Her gaze was unreadable.

Same orphanage…
