Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1342 - 1217:

Min Rui's tone was devoid of emotion, his expression remarkably placid.

Feng Lu responded, "It wasn't that I intended to give birth to you; I simply couldn't find a way to abort you."

Min Rui inquired, "Do you possess even a sliver of affection for us?"

"...For your brother and sister... I do harbor a small measure of fondness." The implication was unmistakable: Feng Lu, as their mother, held no regard whatsoever for her firstborn son in this lifetime.

Min Rui's countenance remained unchanged as he asked, "Are you certain you are fond of Ming Han and Ming Wei?"

"Whether I'm certain or not, what concern is it of yours? You are aware, I am your mother. Even if I dislike you, it doesn't alter the reality that you were born from me."

Feng Lu's complexion grew notably paler.

"Why is it you desire my sister to reside with you?"

Min Rui posed this question, revealing the true purpose of his visit.

"I see no reason to provide you with an explanation," Feng Lu stated, unwilling to prolong the conversation with Min Rui. After a brief, steady gaze, she added, "Do not seek me out again. Inform Vivi that I will be at the garden entrance around three in the afternoon to collect her."

With those declarations, Feng Lu turned to depart.

"On what basis do you make such demands? Apart from giving birth to us, what contributions have you made? No, then, what right do you have to insist my sister live with you? Do you presume my family lacks adults capable of preventing your desires?"

"I have already conferred with Luo Yanqing, and not just once. If you encounter any issues, feel free to consult Luo Yanqing." With that dismissive remark, Feng Lu continued her retreat, her figure receding from the iron gate.

Observing her retreating form, Min Rui's gaze steadily intensified.

Feng Lu arrived at the living room entrance but paused before entering. She slowly turned back, her eyes scanning the area outside the door. Seeing no one present, a complex emotion flickered across her face.

Her original intention was to separate the twins from Luo Yanqing's care. To achieve this, she had specifically contacted him and arranged a meeting.

However, Luo Yanqing had outright refused. Even when she disclosed the secret concerning the twins' origins, Luo Yanqing, after a moment of surprise, remained resolute in his refusal to hand over the children.

Finding herself without alternatives, she resorted to using the twins' parentage as a bargaining chip. If Luo Yanqing persisted in his refusal, she was prepared to sacrifice her own reputation to expose Professor Luo's predicament to everyone in the garden.

Once news of this circulated within the garden, not only would Luo Yanqing's reputation be tarnished, but the twins themselves would inevitably face criticism and ostracism.

Should any child from the garden relay this information to the twins' school, the repercussions would undoubtedly be far more severe for them.

Perhaps feeling the weight of her threats, Luo Yanqing offered no explicit response before departing. Nonetheless, she sensed that his resolve had softened, only awaiting her success in persuading the twins to come live with her.

Unexpectedly, the twin sister secretly met with her after two unsuccessful attempts at contact.

Following that encounter, she made the decision to forgopursuing the twin brother for the current moment. Her sole objective now was to have the sister reside with her. Naturally, this so-called relinquishment was not a permanent one; it was a phased approach. At a later, necessary juncture, she fully intended to reclaim Luo Minghan, the twin brother.

Han Bin emerged from the living room, inquiring, "Why haven't you gone inside yet?"

"I was just about to enter," Feng Lu replied.

Linking her arm with Han Bin's, Feng Lu added, "Let us proceed to your study. I have something significant to discuss with you."

"What is so clandestine?"

Han Bin's question was posed, yet his stride betrayed no hesitation.

Inside the living room, Han Qian was engrossed in a television program from her sofa. Witnessing Feng Lu entwined with Han Bin and ascending the stairs, she couldn't suppress a derisive scoff. "Shameless!" The target of her opprobrium was unequivocally Feng Lu.

"You... you are not jesting with me, are you?"

Within the confines of the study, Han Bin found himself momentarily stunned by Feng Lu's revelation.

"Why would I make light of such a matter?" Feng Lu met his gaze directly. "Should you doubt my words, you are welcome to meet the child. He bears an uncanny resemblance to you, much like a father and son."

Han Bin fell into silence.

He recalled a past instance when his daughter, Han Qian, in her elementary school days, had once remarked in his presence about a classmate named Luo Minghan who bore a striking resemblance to his own younger self.

"So, you are now informing me... that I should take in the two children of your former husband?"

"That is my desire, but my ex-husband simply refuses to consent."

As Feng Lu spoke, Han Bin, from a male perspective, struggled to comprehend Luo Yanqing's refusal. Why would one continue to raise children who were not their own for over a decade, only to insist on maintaining that responsibility?"
