Hesitantly, Luo Yanqing posed the question.
“Mr. Jiang is aware of my deep affection for my parents; he wouldn't be foolish enough to speak recklessly in their presence.”
Kang Li let out a soft chuckle, brushing off Luo Yanqing's conditional remark. Observing that, Luo Yanqing remarked casually, “I believe you and Mr. Jiang will come to acknowledge one another in time. After all, Mr. Jiang refuses to accept the identity of your brother named Allen.”
“You used ‘eventually,’ so let's address it when it happens.”
“In truth, acknowledging Mr. Jiang simply means gaining two additional people who adore you.”
“Do I truly lack affection?”
Luo Yanqing was left speechless: “…” How could his cherished girl ever lack love? Surrounded by doting parents, siblings, nephews, himself, Luo Mingrui, the three little ones, and even the three infants who watch over and cherish her, she drowns in love and certainly doesn't miss this warmth.
Meeting Kang Li's playful stare, Luo Yanqing coughed lightly and shifted topics: “Has Mr. Jiang truly resolved not to recognize your brother Allen?”
“I never imagined Professor Luo relished gossip this much.”
Truthfully, Luo Yanqing learned of Allen solely from Kang Li's own words.
“Merely curiosity on my part.”
Luo Yanqing detests gossip entirely. He was just steering the conversation away to escape his wife's mischievous gaze.
“If it were you in that position, wouldn't it unsettle you?”
Noting Luo Yanqing's incomplete grasp, Kang Li prompted: “Recall how Allen came into existence?”
At those words, Luo Yanqing grasped it immediately: “That wounds a man's pride deeply, yet… what wrong has the child committed? Moreover, isn't it merely a…”
“Enough on the elders' affairs. It's Mr. Jiang's personal matter, after all.” Still, Kang Li understood well that Jiang Boya harbored no real aversion toward Allen privately.
More precisely, deep down, he already viewed Allen as his own son.
In the blink of an eye, noon arrived the day after tomorrow, within Jiang Hongfa’s study.
“Should Lili discover this, she'll likely quarrel with you.”
Voicing his worries, Jiang Hongfa let out a sigh: “I believe we ought to be straightforward with Lili’s adoptive parents. We're not vying with them for Lili,
we merely wish to acknowledge our little girl. For her, it amounts to two more individuals who cherish her. Should her adoptive parents consent, I'll suggest one of Lili’s children take our family name. Naturally, this requires approval from Lili and her spouse.”
“I share your view completely.”
Jiang Boya gave a bitter smile: “They nurtured Lili like their biological daughter, whereas we blood kin offered nothing. We can't act entitled and exploit their efforts. Dad, we have to humble ourselves; else, we risk their outright refusal.”
“Think I need your reminder?”
Jiang Hongfa shot an irritated glare.
Jiang Boya rubbed his nose: “Just concerned you might falter and wanted to jog your memory. Cease the glaring. And refrain from being picky about the three little ones.”
“Do I seem that foolish?”
Jiang Hongfa snorted and glared once more: “Bun and the rest all carry the Jiang family blood. Whichever takes our name, I'd be overjoyed as their great-grandfather.”
Jiang Boya arched a brow: “No preference for boys over girls?”
“Scram. If you could produce seven or eight granddaughters for me, I'd treasure them equally.” Jiang Hongfa nearly brandished his cane after Jiang Boya: “To me, boys and girls alike are precious Jiang descendants.”
“Quite progressive of you.”
Jiang Boya chuckled.
“You mocking your old man?” Jiang Hongfa eyed Jiang Boya suspiciously: “Absence of male heirs makes adopting one preferable to solitude. Besides, properly raised girls surpass many boys.”
“Absolutely. Take my darling daughter, your esteemed eldest granddaughter—she's a fragile beauty, yet excels beyond countless boys.”
Mentioning Kang Li filled Jiang Boya with pride.
Jiang Hongfa: “For blessing our family with a gem like Lili, Ah Mei hasn't been wholly worthless.”
Jiang Boya furrowed his brow: “Why bring her up? Without my role, how would Lili have emerged from her? Had she comprehended me then and cared for Lili post-birth, I'd have rewarded her handsomely. But her actions? She birthed Lili, ditched her, fabricated a false persona, and after years, schemed to swindle me with a counterfeit—her plots know no bounds.”
