"But I don't like them," said Lil Ci.
"Why not? They're good people," He Zixin said in confusion.
"They'll separate me from you, won't they? Then I can't be with you anymore. I don't like them, and I don't want them to be my daddy and mommy." Lil Ci stretched out his hands and hugged He Zixin as he spoke. He buried his little face in her chest, full of attachment.
He seemed to have gone back to being a docile kitten.
When Lil Ci said this, He Zixin looked sad. She looked at Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran, asking, "Uncle Yi, Aunt Ling, are you going to take Lil Ci away?"
"Lil Ci is our son. He’ll naturally have to acknowledge his biological family and return to the Yi family, but you can meet anytime you want," said Yi Jinli.
"I don't want to return to the Yi family. I just want to be with Sis," Lil Ci said sternly as his hands held He Zixin tighter. The eyes he used to stare at Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran grew more hostile.
To him, his so-called daddy and mommy were just enemies trying to separate him from his sister.
"Then we'll think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. For example, Zixin can come and live with the Yi family. Then you can be together every day," said Ling Yiran.
Lil Ci's black eyes lit up immediately, while He Zixin looked a little dumbfounded.
'Am I going to the Yi family to be with Lil Ci every day?'
"Lil Ci, Daddy and I are not your enemies. We’ll be the ones who love you the most. We'll protect you and let you grow up well," Ling Yiran said to the little one.
"Well... We're still Lil Ci's adoptive parents at the very least. Even if we can’t claim credit, we still made an effort!" muttered Zheng Yahui. Her wrists were still in casts, but instead of resting in the hospital bed, she waited here to meet Yi Jinli and his wife.
"Effort?" Yi Jinli sneered. "What effort did you make? You were paid to raise a child. You received enough money to hire a nanny to wait on him 24/7, yet you beat my son up."
"It was... It was for Lil Ci's own good. We were just afraid he would get into trouble," Zheng Yahui said in defense.
Yi Jinli ordered his subordinates, "Besides He Zixin, none of the He family are allowed to enter this hospital during Lil Ci's hospitalization!"
"Mr. Yi, you're..." shouted He Wanlong.
