Chapter 1071: You Still Want This Child?

Yu Meilin and Hou Yingyi's eyes widened in surprise. It's not that they didn't know about the relationship between Liang Zixuan and Wei Xiaoqing, and it's also not that they didn't know that Han Yuanjun hated Wei Xiaoqing's guts. So, how could Han Yuanjun protect Wei Xiaoqing now?         

Wei Xiaoqing was getting more confused. For a moment, she was stunned. The big hand on her shoulder burned like fire. It made her body tremble involuntarily.     

She didn't even notice that Han Yuanjun had pulled out a strand of her hair.     

Without batting an eye, he wrapped the strand of hair around his fingertips. Then he casually removed his hand from Wei Xiaoqing's shoulder and put it in his pocket. Finally, he looked deeply at the child in Hou Zexian's arms. He raised his feet and left without saying a word.     

The entire Hou Family was stunned for a long time as they watched Han Yuanjun leave without saying a word.     

Especially Wei Xiaoqing. Was Han Yuanjun protecting her just now?     

Why did he suddenly... leave?     

Hou Yingyi looked away in frustration. Then, without saying anything, he angrily ran into Hou Zexian's room. He reached out his hand to grab the child.     

Hou Zexian's eyelids moved quickly and he stood by the side to protect the child.     

Hou Yingyi finally couldn't hold it back. He pointed at Hou Zexian's nose and cursed, "Haven't you had enough yet? Do you think what happened earlier wasn't embarrassing enough? Hou Zexian, no one in this world will continue to spoil you!"     

Hou Zexian gently patted the child on the back, as if he was afraid that the child would be afraid of Hou Yingyi. The movement was light and slow. If the Hou Family didn't know, they would think that the child belonged to him.     

Wei Xiaoqing finally woke up from her daze and ran in to say, "Zexian, can you give the child back to me?"     

Hou Zexian looked coldly at Wei Xiaoqing. "I'm helping you. Don't force my hands!"     

Wei Xiaoqing: "...."     

No one here knew the child's true identity, but he did!     

If Hou Zexian really wanted to harm her, he would give the child to Han Yuanjun. But he didn't!     

Wei Xiaoqing didn't know why Hou Zexian did that, but she knew that from the looks of it, he didn't tell the truth to everyone not because he wanted to help her.     

Hou Yingyi was furious. How could he understand the secret between Wei Xiaoqing and Hou Zexian? He pulled Wei Xiaoqing aside in frustration and shouted at Hou Zexian. "Enough with this nonsense. Give the child back to Wei Xiaoqing, do you hear me? Don't let our family's jokes get out!"     

Hou Zexian smiled and looked at Wei Xiaoqing. "Do you still want this child?"     

Wei Xiaoqing bit her lip. Her fingers slowly gripped her skirt. Under Hou Zexian's menacing gaze, she said softly. "Since Zexian wants to help me take care of the child, So...I have to trouble Zexian to keep taking care of him."     

"What?" Hou Yingyi was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Wei Xiaoqing to suddenly change her mind.     

Didn't she want this child earlier?     

Hou Yingyi didn't understand why Wei Xiaoqing suddenly changed her mind. He just stared at Hou Zexian and then stared at her.     

Hou Zexian smiled proudly and walked to the door unhurriedly with the child in his arms. "Wei Xiaoqing, I'll switch rooms with you. I'll come back after the irrelevant person leaves."     

Hou Yingyi still wanted to snap and grabbed Hou Zexian to demand an explanation, but he was stopped by Wei Xiaoqing.     

He stared at her with red eyes. "Are you crazy? That's our child. What does he want with our child!"          

"Our child?" Wei Xiaoqing could not help but laugh. "Hou Yingyi, when did you ever consider this child as your child in your heart? In your heart, in your eyes, this child is nothing. He is my child. Wei Xiaoqing's child. He has nothing to do with you!"     

Hou Yingyi's temper became more and more irritable. Suddenly, he pushed Wei Xiaoqing and ran toward Hou Zexian.     

Regardless of whether the child was treated well or not, he was still a descendant of the Hou Family.     

At this point, how could Yu Meilin let the child get hurt?     

Moreover, the child was still in Hou Zexian's arms. If news about this spread out, there was no need to say how harshly they would be ridiculed by others.     

"Enough, Yingyi!" Yu Meilin hugged Hou Yingyi, who had rushed out of the room, and gently advised. "Let Zexian take care of him. Don't play around anymore. You and your father should discuss the matter of Han Yuanjun coming to our house unexpectedly."     

When Hou Yingyi went into Hou Zexian's room, Hou Shihong had told Yu Meilin that Han Yuanjun wasn't a simple person. He didn't seem to come to the Hou Family for no reason.     

There must be some secret that they didn't know.     

Putting aside the fact that Han Yuanjun had come unannounced, he also left the house just like that.     

Hou Yingyi thought about it carefully and felt that there was something wrong with Han Yuanjun's arrival. He turned around and gave Wei Xiaoqing a sharp glare. Then he followed Hou Shihong downstairs.

Inside the car,      

Han Yuanjun took out a transparent bag from his pocket. He put the hair tied together on his fingers into it and handed the small bag to Yao Xiu.     

"There are two strands of hair in here. Take them for a DNA test."     

Yao Xiu took the bag and kept it carefully.     

He did not ask. Normally, he would not ask about Han Yuanjun's personal affairs. But even though he did not ask, he had a hunch in his heart.     

After Liang Zixuan and Tian Qihua had dinner, they went to Han Yingzhe's bedroom to play with him. The little guy was quite docile for a few days and did not torment the others with his crying, but he always needed someone to carry him.     

Liang Zixuan was exhausted from carrying the child for a while and handed him over to Tian Qihua.      

Han Yuanjun returned from outside and went straight upstairs to Han Yingzhe's room.     

Liang Zixuan saw him and immediately went to him. She asked with concern. "Have you had dinner yet?"     

Han Yuanjun gently caressed Liang Zixuan's face. He nodded with a smile. "Yes, I have."     

Liang Zixuan pulled Han Yuanjun to a sofa and sat with him. Tian Qihua looked at them and carried the child out of the room.     

Perhaps because the mother had a deep connection with the child, she felt that Han Yuanjun had something to say to Liang Zixuan.     

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Qihua left, Han Yuanjun spoke, "Baby, it's hard for you and mom to take care of Yingzhe like this every day. How about we hire two babysitters who specialize in taking care of children?"     

Liang Zixuan had already discussed this matter with Tian Qihua before, but Tian Qihua wasn't quite ready. She felt that the babysitter couldn't take good care of the child.         

Liang Zixuan complained. "I thought about it too. But mom said she was afraid the babysitter would mistreat Yingzhe when we were not around. So ..."     

"Don't be too biased just because of a few judgments." Han Yuanjun tried to persuade Liang Zixuan with good manners. "There are still many babysitters who will work diligently and carefully. Besides, don't you trust me? I'll go and choose them myself."     

Liang Zixuan rested her head on Han Yuanjun's shoulder and pouted. "I know," she said, "but the one you should be persuading is not me, but mom! I believe you, but mom..."     

As a daughter-in-law, Liang Zixuan was not in a position to talk about many things.     

Although Tian Qihua had a good personality and even felt sorry for her, Liang Zixuan still know not to touch her bottom line.     

Han Yuanjun slowly rested his chin on Liang Zixuan's head. He smiled and asked in a low voice. "You mean as long as mom agrees, you will agree?"     

Liang Zixuan laughed softly, "Of course! I have been very busy lately. Qian Yazhu has already started moving. Once I am done with him, I will officially deal with the He Family. There are many things I need to take care of. I also want someone to help me share the burden."
