223 057 little fellow

In the end, mother Zhou didn’t go to the guest room that Lin Li had prepared to rest because she was still a little worried about her grandson. She was worried that if his temperature rose again in the middle of the night, something would happen if there was no one around.

The next morning, when Zhou han woke up and went to his small room to see him, the little guy was still asleep. He stood at the head of the bed and watched for a while before leaving the room under mother Zhou’s stern gaze. He took his breakfast and went to the company without eating.

Lin Li didn’t go out with him. Last night, she told him that she wouldn’t be going to the company today and would stay to take care of the child. Zhou han was silent for a long time. In the end, although he still didn’t say anything, he nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, the little guy slept very well that night, and his temperature didn’t rise as he had expected. When he woke up in the morning, Lin Li took his temperature and legs. The fever had gone down, but he still coughed a little and spoke a little hoarsely. Mother Zhou didn’t dare to take it lightly and still gave him the medicine prescribed by the doctor to drink with water.

Mother Zhou went to the supermarket downstairs to buy groceries, while Lin Li stayed at home with the child. When Lin Li came out of the room, she saw the little guy standing alone at the door of the study. Looking at the empty study, there was a look of disappointment on his face.

Lin Li knew that the little guy was missing Zhou han. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days.

Sometimes, blood ties were like this. Although Zhou han had never treated him well and always had a cold face, of course, it was not Zhou Han’s fault for not treating him well. If it was anyone else who faced such a situation every day, it was impossible for them to smile at their child without any estrangement in their heart. However, Xiao bin did not know that he had always thought that Zhou han was his father. Even though his father always treated him coldly, in his mind, no matter how fierce Zhou han was, he was still his family. It was just like how he would still miss Ling LAN even though Ling LAN abused him every time. This was because Ling LAN was not just anyone, she was his mother!

Lin Li’s heart ached for this child. She bent down and reached out to touch his head, ” Xiaobin, daddy went to work and will only be back at night.

The little guy turned to look at her. Without saying a word, he went straight to the living room.

Lin Li looked at his back, and there was an unspeakable heartache in her heart for him and Zhou han.

Sighing helplessly, Lin Li followed him to the living room. She saw the little guy hugging a pillow and curled up on one side of the sofa. There was no expression on his little face. If Zhou han hadn’t said that the child wasn’t his child, he definitely wouldn’t have suspected it. It wasn’t that they looked similar, but just based on personality, perhaps they had lived together for a long time, and he really resembled Zhou han a little.

Lin Li sat down beside him with a gentle smile on her face. She reached out and touched his head, asking softly, ” Xiaobin, do you want to watch TV? Auntie will turn it on for you, okay? ”

The little guy turned to look at her and stared at her. He did not say ‘okay’ or ‘no’.

Seeing that he was silent, Lin Li could only take it as an agreement. She took the remote control from the low table, pressed a button to turn on the TV, and switched it to the children’s channel, which was now playing an animated film. She turned to look at the little guy with a smile, only to see that he was still staring at her in the same posture as before, without any intention of turning to look at the TV.

Lin Li was startled. She reached out and touched his head, asking, ” “What’s wrong? you don’t like to watch TV?”

The little fellow still didn’t answer. He just stared at her with his big, black eyes.

Seeing him like this, Lin Li couldn’t help but worry if he was feeling unwell again. She hurriedly asked, ” “Are you feeling uncomfortable again?” As she spoke, she placed her hand on his forehead to test his temperature.

She touched his forehead and felt his temperature. It was normal. She looked at him and said patiently, ” “Xiaobin, tell Auntie, are you feeling unwell?”

Xiao bin looked at her for a while and asked in a low voice, ” “Auntie, do you and dad have a little sister?” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Looking at him, Lin Li was stunned. She thought that he was not feeling well, but she didn’t expect him to ask this.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Li looked at him and asked softly, ” “Xiaobin, why are you asking this?”

The little guy looked at her, and his big black eyes suddenly became a little misty. He looked at Lin Li and asked, ” “Does daddy not want me anymore?”

“No, why would I?” Seeing that he was about to cry, Lin Li hurriedly explained, ” dad didn’t abandon you. Why would he abandon Xiao bin? ” As he spoke, he pulled the little guy into his arms and patted his back gently. daddy has been busy with work recently, so I didn’t have time to pick Xiao bin up or visit him. I didn’t say that I didn’t want Xiao bin, really!

In her arms, the little guy said softly, ” daddy doesn’t like me.

Lin Li’s heart trembled. It was said that a child’s heart was the most fragile. Although Xiao bin was young, such a family environment gave him a mature character. He naturally knew how Zhou han treated him, so he didn’t need others to explain whether he liked or not. He already had an answer in his heart.

Lin Li didn’t know what to say at all. Just as she was trying her best to organize her words to comfort him, the little guy opened his mouth again and asked, ” “Auntie, are you and dad going to have a little sister soon? is that why you don’t want me anymore?” As he spoke, his voice was already filled with a strong sobbing tone.

no, no... Lin Li’s heart ached for him. She ached for his maturity and his sensitivity, but she didn’t know how to comfort him, how to tell him that things weren’t like that, and how to protect him from harm. She was helpless and did not know what to do.

Leaning in Lin Li’s arms, Xiao bin said softly, ” “I heard grandma’s phone call to dad last time.” His grandmother had asked his father to visit him, but his father was not willing to come. He knew that his father had never liked him. Last time, his grandmother had told the Auntie that she wanted a little sister. So, did his father decide not to want him because he already had a little sister and didn’t like him to begin with?

As she thought about it, tears the size of beans fell from her eyes and she said with a sobbing tone, ” Auntie, I’ll be very obedient in the future. I won’t make you angry or unhappy. Auntie, can you ask Dad not to abandon me? don’t abandon me, don’t abandon me ... as he spoke, his hand tightly clutched Lin Li’s clothes around her waist.

Xiao bin ... seeing him like this, Lin Li’s heart ached. She hugged him even tighter and lowered her head to kiss his head, trying not to cry. She could only whisper in his ear, ” “It’s not that Auntie and Daddy don’t want Xiao bin. Xiao bin is so smart and sensible. How can daddy not like Xiao bin? daddy has been really busy with work recently and has no time to rest, so he didn’t care about Xiao bin. It’s not that he doesn’t want Xiao bin. Just wait a little longer. Wait a little longer. When he’s done with his work, Auntie will ask him to take Xiao bin to the aquarium to see those beautiful fish, okay?” As she said that, her tears fell uncontrollably.

Every child was an Angel who needed to be protected and loved. Why did she have to make her child sad ...

The little guy gently raised his head from her arms and fixed his tear-filled eyes on Lin Li. He asked with some uncertainty, ” “Really?”

Lin Li reached out to wipe the tears on his face, and then wiped the tears on her own face. She nodded hard and said, ” “Yes, really!”

The little guy looked at him for a while, as if he was sure that what he said was true, then he nodded heavily, a rare smile on his face.

Seeing him smile, Lin Li also smiled and reached out to wipe his face.

Just as Lin Li was wiping the tears from her face with her child, mother Zhou’s voice suddenly came from the door.

ah han, what are you doing standing at the door?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Li and the little guy in the room turned their heads together and saw that Zhou han had returned at the entrance. He was standing at the door with the key in his hand, his face still cold and heavy.

Before Lin Li could react, the little guy in her arms jumped off the sofa and ran directly to the door. When he was about three meters away from the door, he suddenly stopped. His small hand grabbed his own small hand, and his black and bright eyes stared at Zhou han. Then, he used that extremely soft voice to call out, ” dad.

He called out very softly, very softly, but because the whole room was too quiet, so quiet that you could even hear a pin drop on the ground, so Xiao bin’s voice, which was originally not loud, was now particularly clear and obvious.

Lin Li looked at Zhou han and suddenly felt a little nervous. She asked her why, but she couldn’t say the reason.

Zhou han looked at the child who was standing not far away from him, and his hand that was holding the car keys tightened.

The little guy stood there and didn’t get a response for a long time. His small feet unconsciously stepped back. Mother Zhou, who was standing beside Zhou han, noticed this and changed the things in her left hand to her right hand. She reached out and pushed Zhou han, signaling him to hurry up.

Zhou han turned his head to look at his mother, but he was immediately glared back at by her cold eyes. The hand on his waist behind him exerted force. Although Zhou han didn’t look, he knew that his back must have been bruised.

Zhou han sighed silently. In the end, he put the key in his hand on the cabinet at the side and walked forward to the little guy.

The little guy looked at Zhou han and seemed to be a little scared. He subconsciously took another step back.

Zhou han stood in front of him. The cold expression on his face did not change much. He asked, ” “Are you feeling better?” His voice was still cold and a little stiff.

The little guy was obviously a little surprised. He stared at Zhou han for a long time before he nodded. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Perhaps still bothered by Xiao bin’s background, Zhou han didn’t say anything more. He reached out and rubbed Xiao bin’s head before putting it down and turning to walk towards the study room.

The little guy watched Zhou han enter the study in a daze. After a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned to look at Lin Li and then turned to look at mother Zhou.

Mother Zhou carried the vegetables into the house with a faint smile on her face.

Lin Li also stood up from the sofa in the living room. She turned her head to look in the direction of the study, and then turned her head to look at the child’s innocent smile.
