Chapter 465: So It Was His Seed!

Following her all the time—does that amuse you?

"We really are going the same way."

Fu Hanxiu blinked, his tone a little helpless.

"Is this interesting to you?"

Ye Qingran clenched her teeth.

Why is this man like a piece of taffy? I can't shake him off!

Does he not know that after this month, the fury in her heart born of his concealment and deceit has already dissipated?

She just doesn't know how to face him.

She really fears that after his repeated entanglements, she would cowardly forgive him.

But the fact that he lied to her is undeniable; she should give him the cold shoulder for a while, right?

Forgiving him so easily—does she not care about her dignity?

Fu Hanxiu felt quite aggrieved.

He really is just going the same way with her!

"Don't believe it? Look," Fu Hanxiu pointed behind Ye Qingran, and she turned skeptically, seeing the Courtyard doorway next to Ting Yu Xuan, where Fu San was smiling broadly and waving at her.

Ye Qingran widened her eyes.

The neighboring Courtyard? Fu San?

It can't be what she thinks, right?

"You did it on purpose?"

Realizing this, Ye Qingran ground her teeth.

Fu Hanxiu shouted, "I'm being wrong!"

"I chose this place first," he said, not lying.

"Do you think I'd believe you? In this world, nothing is that coincidental. Shenzhou City is so vast; Bing Er could have chosen anywhere, yet she chose right next to you?"

After speaking, Ye Qingran was stunned.

Her eyes grew wider and wider.

"Did you deliberately lead her?"

Ye Qingran squinted, her eyes full of accusation.

Fu Hanxiu raised his hand, clenched his fist, and gave a light cough before his lips, masking his embarrassment.

How could Ye Qingran still not realize she was right?

She gritted her teeth in hatred.

She thought, "Fine, Fu Hanxiu, you really are a mastermind; no wonder you came looking for her—turns out you were already here waiting for her!"

Bai Bing, who had been waiting at the doorway, walked over.

Ye Qingran asked, "Bing Er, how did you find this Courtyard?"

Bai Bing glanced at the strange atmosphere and replied honestly, "It's actually a coincidence. I was looking for a house at the time, and by chance heard that the houses here are of good quality, so I came to check. The landlord was selling urgently, at thirty percent below market price. I saw the interior was quite new and matched Miss your taste, so I bought it."

"Oh, really? So smooth?"

Ye Qingran replied in a sarcastic tone.

Bai Bing blinked, wondering why the Miss seemed not only ungrateful but also a bit angry.

She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Fu Hanxiu, you tell us, are there such coincidences in this world?"

Fu Hanxiu's mouth twitched.

Fine, he admitted that everything was his arrangement, the purpose being to become Ye Qingran's neighbor.

"No, it was all arranged by me."

He decided to be lenient by confessing.

He wouldn't dare deceive her again.

Bai Bing was stunned.

It turned out she wasn't lucky at all, but was set up.

She was smug, not realizing she'd fallen into the Emperor Sovereign's trap.

"Miss, I..."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Fu Hanxiu touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

Yes, it has nothing to do with Bai Bing; it's all his fault!

At that moment, hearing a noise outside, two children ran out.

"Father Lord?"

"Dad?"

Seeing Fu Hanxiu wearing a mask, the two instantly recognized him.

Fu Hanxiu removed the mask, revealing his flawless handsome face, and called to the two kids, "Boys, did you miss dad?"

Ye Qingran twitched the corner of her mouth.

It's hard to imagine those words coming from the aloof Emperor Sovereign.

"No!"

The two kids answered in unison, even shaking their heads in perfect sync.

Fu Hanxiu: "......"

His smile instantly froze.

The three of them—father and two sons—stared at each other with wide eyes.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Why?"

Fu Hanxiu asked resentfully, with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Because Dad is a big liar!"

Xiao Hu crossed her small arms over her chest, let out a cold snort, tilted her head, and curled her mouth.

"Big liar! Father Lord, your nose is about to be longer than Pinocchio's!"

Xiao Chen snorted.

Pinocchio?

The well‑read Emperor Sovereign expressed that he was completely at a loss.

He doesn't know any Pinocchio!

Obviously, the two kids already knew that Wuhen was their dad in disguise, so they harbored resentment toward him.

After saying that, the two kids hopped on their short legs to Ye Qingran, each grabbing a hand, rubbing against her, begging for a hug.

They didn't give even a glance to their own father.

The sight of a caring mother and dutiful children before him deeply stirred Fu Hanxiu.

He felt a bitterness he couldn't express.

The wife complains about the child being a nuisance; that must be about him, right?

How did he end up so miserable?

Night deepened, and the splendid lanterns were just lit.

Today is New Year's Eve.

The street was festooned with lanterns and ribbons, and firecrackers crackled.

Even though they're not in the same world, they share the same holiday.

Sometimes, Ye Qingran feels as if she never left.

On the Courtyard's main gate, Han Xing and others had long ago pasted a "Fu" character, and red spring couplets on both sides.

A rich aroma of food drifted from the Courtyard, making mouths water.

"Let's go, we're off to eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Ye Qingran said as she led the two children into the Courtyard, not giving Fu Hanxiu a single glance.

Fu Hanxiu watched longingly from outside the gate.

Behind him followed Fu San, equally longing.

Today's street was livelier than usual, and this bustle only highlighted Fu Hanxiu's lonely, pitiful state.

He was like a husband driven out, waiting for his wife's forgiveness.

The two kids verbally complained about Dad, yet deep father‑son affection made them occasionally turn their heads toward the doorway.

"Mom, even though Dad is a liar, he's so pitiful."

After Xiao Hu turned back for the nth time, she finally couldn't hold back and began pleading with her own dad.

After all, he's just the newly found biological father!

Fu Hanxiu's ears were sharp; hearing that, his heart was moved beyond words.

Sure enough, it's his offspring, still leaning toward him; his love wasn't in vain!
