Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Who is the Father of the Child_1

She looked up with curiosity, sizing up Su Yun who was slowly approaching her.

As she watched, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows---

Why did she feel that his features bore some resemblance to Su Ran’s?

Su Ran gave off an air of elegance and detachment, gentle yet distant.

And him? Although he was graceful and handsome, he carried a rebellious, carefree spirit···

Who was he? What was his relationship to Su Ran?

"Who are you?" Su Wanxia couldn’t help but ask as she looked at the young man standing before her window.

Su Yun flicked the elegant lock of hair from his forehead to the side of his face, coolly placed his hands in his pockets, and said in a leisurely tone, "If we go by seniority, you’d have to call me ’second uncle,’ but if we don’t, you can call me ’Brother Xiaoyun.’ Actually, I think ’second uncle’ sounds too old and unpleasant, so you might as well call me ’Brother Xiaoyun’···"

Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched. She looked at him with great skepticism.

Call him second uncle? Brother Xiaoyun? Was he out of his mind?

Let’s not even start with ’second uncle.’ Even the term ’brother’ was something his age could hardly bear, right?

"How old are you?" Su Wanxia asked.

Su Yun pondered thoughtfully for a moment, "Twenty-six···"

Su Wanxia silently judged him, but outwardly remained calm, "I’m also twenty-six---"

"You? I thought you were twenty-five?" Su Yun looked at her with a ’you can’t fool me’ expression.

They had been searching for her all year round. How could they not know how old she was? That’s why he deliberately claimed to be one year older. In fact, he was also twenty-five. If one insisted on saying twenty-six, then according to the Chinese tradition of celebrating the New Year, he had just turned twenty-six···

"Who said that? Another year has passed, so, I’m twenty-six···" Su Wanxia stated bluntly. After all, she was sticking to being twenty-six. What could he do about it?

Su Yun curled his lip, "So what do you suggest? Do you want me, who should be called ’second uncle’, to start calling you instead?"

Su Wanxia was puzzled, "Second uncle? Who’s above you then? Su Ran?"

She seemed to have heard him calling Su Ran ’brother’.

As expected, Su Yun nodded without hesitation, "Yes, we’re blood brothers---"

"Oh····" Su Wanxia finally had an epiphany. She had thought so—they did have very similar facial features.

"Then you and--" She began to speak but paused for a moment, then continued with a hum, "Then you and my grandfather are?"

She seemed to recall Su Ran calling him ’foster father’---

"We were adopted off the streets by our foster father---" Su Yun’s expression was natural, his handsome face showing not a ripple.

His indifferent tone sounded as if he wasn’t talking about himself.

Su Wanxia smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject, "Haha, I think we are about the same age, so let’s just call each other by our names. You can call me Wanxia, and I’ll call you Xiaoyun like grandpa and the others do--"

Su Yun propped his chin, thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded, "Alright then···" His face expressed great reluctance.

"OK···"

Su Wanxia made an OK sign with her hand and then lifted the bowl of medicine that was neither appealing to look at nor smell, bringing it to her lips.

The maid instinctively reached out with a spoon toward her, but she silently waved her hand and began to drink in silence.

This kind of thing was best consumed in one go. If she had to sip it spoon by spoon, it truly would have been torture.

After drinking, she exhaled as if relieved from a great burden.

The maid took the jade bowl from her hands and began clearing away the items in front of her.

At that moment, Su Yun asked with an ambiguous tone, "Who is the child’s father?"

He was truly curious about this matter. On his return trip to China, he hadn’t accompanied them, so he didn’t know the things that their Miss had been through. When he asked his brother, his brother wasn’t willing to say a word. Why was that?

Just as Su Wanxia was wiping her mouth with a napkin, she heard Su Yun’s sudden question. Her fingers stiffened at the corner of her mouth.

It was just a moment before she lifted her eyes, and with a gentle smile, said to him, "That has nothing to do with you, right? If you really want to know, you can ask your brother, maybe he will tell you..."

Su Yun curled his lips. If his brother would tell him, why would he come to ask her—

"It’s not my brother’s, so why would you tell me to ask him?"

Su Wanxia felt exasperated, this guy really had the nerve to say that!

How could the personalities of the two brothers be so different?

"What are you discussing?" Su Ran’s cool voice suddenly came through.

Su Wanxia pursed her lips and then lay back on the soft, comfortable pillow.

"Heh, it’s nothing—" Su Yun replied nonchalantly.

Su Ran didn’t press further, as if the question he had just asked was merely casual and not out of genuine curiosity about what the two of them were discussing.

"Hmm, go and take care of the things I instructed you to do this morning—"

"Oh... I got it." Su Yun cast another reluctant glance at him and then turned to leave.

Su Yun and the maids left at the same time, leaving only Su Wanxia and Su Ran in the room.

Because of the tense atmosphere between them before the meal, although Su Wanxia had come to terms with it, she still didn’t want to deal with him.

He was right, everything was his doing, and it had nothing to do with her grandfather, so let him bear her resentment for now!

In any case, for the time being, she didn’t want to talk to him. She was someone who held grudges.

"The doctor has ordered that you must rest in bed. Someone will come to check on you regularly—" Su Ran spoke a few words, and Su Wanxia remained silent.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If you don’t want this child, you must tell me in time—"

Su Wanxia’s heart skipped a beat, not wanting it?

Ever since she found out about this news, she had never thought about not wanting it; she actually felt that this was a blessing from heaven—

"You misunderstood, I don’t want to not have it—" she finally looked up, saying blandly to him.

Su Ran didn’t seem surprised by her response.

"Hmm, if that’s the case, you also need to take care of yourself and keep a pleasant mood."

He might not have made it worse if he hadn’t mentioned it, but on doing so, Su Wanxia somehow started feeling down again.

She let out a light sigh and acknowledged with a sound.

Su Ran nodded at her and was about to leave when Su Wanxia suddenly called out to him.

"Su Ran..."

Su Ran stopped in his tracks, turned around, and silently looked at her.

"Where’s my grandfather? I want to see him—" Su Wanxia’s complexion looked somewhat unnatural.

She couldn’t get out of bed now, let alone leave the house, so she could only convey her wishes to him.

Upon hearing her words, Su Ran’s eyes showed a hint of a warm smile.

"I will go find him—"

"Mhm—"

When Su Ran’s figure disappeared from the room, Su Wanxia finally let out a relieved sigh.

Other people his age were enjoying the company of children and grandchildren.

What about him? Not only did he have to endure the sorrow of outliving his children, but he also had to be hopeful and tirelessly search for his lost granddaughter—

He was truly great!
