He is my son

Shangguan Zhe sighed: "This is my bad, I didn't have the time to greet you, but at that time when I was calling you, it was always busy, so I had no choice but to do it, and that's it, don't put down the phone, I want Le Le to talk to you."

She quickly grabbed her phone and nodded, just like how Shangguan Zhe was right in front of her.

Before long, Le Le's loud voice came out from the phone: "Mom!"

These words were like music to her ears, causing her eyes to immediately moisten: "Le Le, where are you now?"

Le Le's voice was very lively and happy, "I'm at Papa Shangguan's place. He brought me here from school and even played games with me. At this point, he suddenly stopped, as if realizing that he had spoken incorrectly, he quickly added, "Actually, I just ate a small piece, a small piece."

Normally, she would teach him a lesson, but right now, she didn't have the heart to. Instead, she said, "You have to listen to Papa Shangguan's words properly, understand?"

"Then what about you, mother? You're not coming anymore?" Le Le suddenly asked uneasily.

"I'll come see you right away." She said with a smile, and was not surprised to hear Le Le's cheers.

With a smile on her face, she hung up the phone and glanced at the uneasy faces of the teachers beside her. She knew that they were still terrified of being robbed of their children, so after thinking for a moment, she told them, "Take the children away, they are my friends. Don't worry."

The teacher was obviously relieved. Just as he was about to speak, someone came over with a cell phone. "Director Huang, it's about time. Are we going to call the police like we planned?"

Director Huang immediately took the phone, "No need, it's just a family friend playing with the child."

It was only then that Shen Xiran knew that the kindergarten still hadn't called the police. No wonder she felt that the atmosphere here was weird, but after thinking about it, he understood them. With such a huge matter that happened in the kindergarten, the children's families that studied here were either rich or noble, if this matter were to be leaked, it would cause a huge panic and the reputation of the kindergartens would also suffer a huge loss. Thus, at their level, they were definitely not willing to call the police.

This realization made her slightly frown. She didn't say anything, but in her heart, she decided to switch to another kindergarten.

When the teacher saw her expression, he was also embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything else.

It was not a mistake on their part that this matter had occurred, but their first reaction was not to search for their child, but to find a way to seal the news. No one would be able to accept that.

Including Shen Xiran.

After a while, the car Shangguan Zhe sent to pick her up came.

Half an hour later, she saw Shangguan Zhe, and she also saw Le Le.

She hugged Le Le up with a smile and fiercely kissed him on his small face, saying, "I was about to die from fright, I thought …"

With that, she hugged Le Le tightly.

Shangguan Zhe, who was at the side, saw this and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate enough to this matter. After I received the news, I immediately took the child over, and the result was …"

She shook her head, signalling him not to apologize, then put Le Le down and said to him: "There are a lot of fun things here in Papa Shangguan, do you have a chance to play properly?"

Le Le's gaze fell on a large pile of toys, and just like that, they were stuck on, unable to move no matter how hard he tried.

She smiled and patted his small hand. "Go and play. We'll have dinner together with mother later."

"Alright." Le Le nodded impatiently, he ran over quickly and started playing with the toy with all his might.

Seeing her son playing with the toy safe and sound, she heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Shangguan Zhe. "Thank you.

When she thought that he might leave her and never return to her side, her voice suddenly became hoarse, unable to continue.

Seeing her anxious expression, a flash of pain passed through Shangguan Zhe's eyes. He couldn't help but reach out to grab her wrist and say: "Don't worry, Le Le is also my son. I won't let anything happen to him."

She gently nodded her head, "Then what is going on today? At that time, I was talking to the lady from Si Family, and she wanted to take Le Le to be his paternity test, but Le Le … "

Shangguan Zhe laughed: "That was her plan, but her plan was heard by my people and was reported to me, so I set it up in advance and took Le Le away, allowing her people to pounce on empty air. If I'm not mistaken, she should be in a bad mood right now."

At the end, a smile almost spilled out of his eyes.

She also laughed, "So that's how it is. I really have to thank you this time. Otherwise, I don't know when Le Le would have been able to return to my side."

Thinking about what the Imperial Mother had told his before, her eyes dimmed. She simply could not imagine the days when Le Le was not by his side.

She shivered slightly, her heart feeling even more grateful to Shangguan Zhe.

Shangguan Zhe laughed: "I said it before, Le Le is my son, I will protect him."

"Thank you." She thanked him sincerely.

Shangguan Zhe's focused gaze swept across her face, subtly flashed a trace of sadness, and then immediately said as if nothing had happened: "No need to thank me, this is just my duty. But Xilan, does Si Lianye know about this?"

"Should be …" Facing his sudden question, she opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to excuse Si Lianye, but in the end he was unable to say it out. That's right, Imperial Mother wanted to take Le Le away, did she know or not?

"Xilan, you've heard that …" Seeing her troubled look, Shangguan Zhe sighed at the bottom of his heart: "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, it's just that the current situation isn't too good for us, we have to think of a way to deal with it."

"You're saying …" She looked at him in confusion.

"Xi Ran …" He suddenly gripped her hand tightly. "Let me be his father."

She didn't understand what he meant and said doubtfully, "You are." Le Le had always called him "Papa Shangguan", right? But as soon as she said it, she understood, and his heart skipped a beat. "You mean …?"

"It's exactly what you mean by that. Let me be his real father, if you don't want to continue being entangled by the people of the Si Family, Xi Ran, believe me, this is the best way." Shangguan Zhe looked at her deeply and said: "To announce to the outside world that Le Le is my son, our Shangguan Family is not far from the Si Family in many ways. Even if Si Lianye and his mother wanted to use some strong method to take Le Le away, it would not be easy to pass my test.

Shen Xiran went silent, and thought repeatedly in his heart, yes, this seemed to be the only best way, for Shangguan Zhe to become Le Le's father, his family background was enough to rival the Si Family's, so the Imperial Mother could not casually interfere, and there would not be another accident where they took him away.

This would be the best idea for Le Le.

She should have been happy, but why was she not happy at all deep down in her heart? Was there even a hint of resistance to this suggestion?

She looked up at him. "But if it's like this, won't it make things difficult for you?"

Shangguan Zhe looked at her with eyes as gentle as water: "Between us, do we still need to talk about this?"

With these words, she laughed. "Alright, but after you say it this way, will your family …"

She had not finished speaking, but he understood her meaning, and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter, my family is different from the Si Family, no one dares to say anything, if in the future a few blind people really try to attack you, don't bother with them, just directly hit back, don't care about my face."

"Then what about Xiao Rou?" she asked after a pause.

Before Shangguan Zhe could say anything,he heard footsteps coming from outside. Turning his head, she saw that Xiao Rou's beautiful face had appeared at the entrance.

She was startled for a moment, then revealed a smile towards Xiao Rou: "Really speaking what you say, Xiao Rou, hello." After saying that, she waved her hand and greeted Xiao Rou.

Xiao Rou pounced over excitedly and made a big gesture towards Shen Xiran, to the effect that he was very happy to see her.

Looking at her passionate face, Shen Xiran suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary. He then looked at Shangguan Zhe again, his expression turning a little ugly.

"Xiao Rou, sit down. You're about to be a mother, why are you still so crazy!" he growled.

Xiao Rou stuck out her tongue and sat down obediently.

Shen Xiran couldn't help but laugh: "Your brother is doing this for your own good as well. There are two people in your body right now." With that, he looked at her stomach and realized that it didn't seem to have swelled up much. If people didn't know, they would probably just ignore it.

She couldn't help but be a little worried. "Are you okay now?"

Xiao Rou vigorously nodded her head, changing from her previous depressed look to a gesture brimming with happiness — — I am very good now, and brother is also very good to me.

She thought for a bit, then came to a sudden realization. She mischievously looked at her and said: "I got it, seeing how happy you are, you must feel like you're going to marry Lin Zixuan soon, which is why you're so happy."

With just a sentence, Xiao Rou's face flushed red, she seemed to want to hit her, but Shen Xiran shouted for help in an exaggerated manner, he got up and avoided her, but he accidentally tripped on the corner of the table, causing her to let out a small cry as her body tilted to the side.

Shangguan Zhe's heart tightened as he hurriedly reached out to support her.

His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but jump up and down like a young kid. His face turned red and he inadvertently looked up to see his little sister smiling at him with an understanding smile.

He wanted to push her away, but when his hands touched her waist and felt her soft and slender waist, no matter what, he couldn't bear to push it away.
