Chapter 82.3 — Little bun: Su Nuo

　　Edited by: Larkspur

　　Su Yanyi couldn't help but poke the little bun's head. This time - she was careful and didn't poke with too much strength. She'd really not expected the little bun's skin to be that delicate.

　　"This is Elder Brother's kid, right?" Su Yanyi asked. Although she knew the answer in her heart, she still wanted to make sure.

　　"Although we haven't ascertained, he should be." Father Su answered solemnly. But what he meant by 'ascertain' was a DNA test.

　　"Are we going to do it? Where's the kid's mother?" Su Yanyi continued asking.

　　"Whether we are doing it or not is your brother's decision. The child's mother died not long ago due to cancer. This child was brought over by his mother's friend. According to what they said, the child's mother had entrusted the matter to them." Father Su continued.

　　He'd never imagined that something like this would happen in his family. Su Yanmo actually had a forsaken child out there and he was already five years old. This was longer than the time he had been married for!

　　"What's your name and how old are you? Do you know who I am?" Su Yanyi's questions didn't cease, only this time they were directed at the child.

　　The little bun blinked his eyes but was all seriousness. He replied in a clear voice, "My name is Su Nuo; Su as in Su s.h.i.+, and Nuo as in Nuo Yan. I am five years old and four full years…" The little bun paused seemingly considering the last question. No one rushed him and he answered after pondering, "Should I be calling you aunty? If you are aunty, does that mean you're my father's sister?"

　　The little bun was clearly extremely smart. He had inferred quite a lot from listening to all the talk around him. Su Yanyi was very satisfied.

　　"Do you know who your dad is?" Su Yanyi asked.

　　The little bun nodded his head and spoke eagerly, "My father is Su Yanmo, a very powerful and outstanding person. I have seen father's picture…He looks similar to aunty."

　　He spoke the last bit softly and secretly snuck a peek at Su Yanyi, checking if his words had piqued her.

　　"Do you want to see your father?" Because of the little bun's words, Su Yanyi's tone was gentler.

　　He was worthy of being Su Family's child; smart and sensible. His mother had taught him well too. They just didn't know why she'd never contacted the Su Family. However, this wasn't the time to ask this question. Despite how young the child was, he understood things. She, naturally, had to be mindful of this.

　　"Yes!" The little bun's voice was louder this time, answering without hesitation. His eyes were full of antic.i.p.ation.

　　When the Su Family, including Su Yanyi, saw this, their hearts softened. Their hearts felt sour; for this child, since his birth, lacked his father's care. He must surely miss it. Qin Jiran could especially empathize the pain of not having parents, for he was an orphan too. He cherished little Su Nuo even more.

　　By this time, Su Yanyi had calmed down. Whether it was the child's sudden appearance or the upgrade mission of the system that had made her speechless, nevertheless, she felt this Christmas was extremely exciting!
