Chapter 903: Take Her Son Away
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Though Li Yiran had known it already, hearing the confirmation from Huangfu Ruixiang ignited a flame of jealousy in her heart. Especially after all the effort she had put into exposing Zhong Yating’s true identity, nearly leading to Huangfu Ruixiang’s decision to divorce her. Yet now, all her efforts seemed to have been in vain.
Not only that, although Huangfu Ruixiang mentioned this matter, Li Yiran felt there was more left unsaid.
“There’s one more crucial matter.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s gaze fixed on Li Yiran before he continued, “Due to the injuries sustained, Yating’s body has suffered greatly, rendering her incapable of conceiving in the future. Therefore, I’ve made the decision that from now on, Haohao will be raised under Yating’s name. He will be Yating’s son.”
Haohao, as he spoke, was the son born to Li Yiran – Huangfu Zihao.
As soon as the words left his mouth, it felt like a drop of water had fallen into a still pot of oil, causing an instant explosion.
“Ruixiang…” All color drained from Li Yiran’s face, leaving it nearly translucent. “You… Do you even know what you’re saying?”
She couldn’t believe her ears. Huangfu Ruixiang intended to give her son to Zhong Yating. Her son would henceforth call Zhong Yating ‘Mother’.
No, this was absolutely unacceptable.
Huangfu Ruiling’s expression remained unchanged, indifferent as ever. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with surprise, but she remained silent.
It seemed that Huangfu Ruixiang had called Huangfu Ruiling back tonight precisely for this matter. Yet, she never expected Huangfu Ruixiang to have such thoughts.
However, whether it was Huangfu Ruixiang’s idea or Zhong Yating’s, it was hard to determine! At least, there was no surprise on Zhong Yating’s face. Obviously, she had already known about this matter.
Huangfu Jingzhang initially wanted to say something, but after consideration, he remained silent. After all, the reason Zhong Yating had become like this was to save him.
On the other hand, Zhongyu Liuying frowned. “Is this your decision or Yating’s?”
Before Zhong Yating could speak, her hand was grabbed by Huangfu Ruixiang, who shook his head at her.
“This is my decision,” Huangfu Ruixiang stated firmly. Then, he looked apologetically at Li Yiran. “Yiran, I know this is unfair to you. However, you will have other children in the future. But Yating will never have that chance.”
Upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s words, everyone reacted differently.
Ye Leng’an cast a disdainful look at Huangfu Ruixiang. She had long known he wasn’t a good man, but she didn’t expect him to be such a scoundrel.
To utter such words! If anyone dared to say such things to her, she would end them without hesitation.
Huangfu Jingxian and Nangong Xiyu didn’t voice their opinions. After all, it wasn’t someone else’s matter. Huangfu Ruixiang was just their nephew. Though they were elders, it wasn’t appropriate for them to interfere.
However, their expressions revealed their disapproval of Huangfu Ruixiang’s actions.
“No, this is absolutely not possible.” Li Yiran’s lips trembled, her voice hoarse. “Haohao is my son. I will never allow anyone to take him away.”
“Yiran, you’ve always been sensible, haven’t you?” Huangfu Ruixiang’s expression turned serious. “Yating can never be a mother again. Consider it a pity for her. Can’t you do that? Moreover, if Haohao becomes Yating’s child, he will be my legitimate son and can be recorded in the family tree. Isn’t that what you want to see?”
“No, no way.” Li Yiran shook her head continuously. When she looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, her eyes were filled with sorrow. “Ruixiang, I only have Haohao now. If you want to take him away, then I truly have nothing.”
“Yiran, what are you saying?” Huangfu Ruixiang frowned, his tone sharp. “How can you have nothing? You still have me. I will be with you! Besides, even without Haohao, you’ll have other children in the future. But Yating will never have such an opportunity.”
Listening to Huangfu Ruixiang’s heartless words, Li Yiran felt she was about to burst with anger.
She had never imagined Huangfu Ruixiang was so irresponsible.
And what did he mean by she would have other children in the future? Was she supposed to hand over her son just because of this reason? Moreover…
Li Yiran couldn’t help but glance in Ye Leng’an’s direction.
She knew her body had collapsed long ago due to what happened before. The only reason she could give birth to Haohao was because of Ye Leng’an’s help. It was uncertain whether she could still conceive in the future. Even if she did conceive, she didn’t know if she could carry the pregnancy to term.
Therefore, this might be her only child in this life. And now, Huangfu Ruixiang actually wanted to give her son to Zhong Yating. Regardless, she would never agree.
Thinking of this, Li Yiran said firmly, “That’s impossible. Haohao is my son. I will never give him to anyone else.”
At this point, tears streamed down Li Yiran’s face. She looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, pleading through her tears, “Ruixiang, I beg you, please don’t take Haohao away, okay? I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. I cannot let him go. If Yating really wants a child, you can adopt one! Otherwise, you can adopt someone from the collateral family!”
Seeing Li Yiran’s tearful appearance, Huangfu Ruixiang felt reluctant as well. But…
He looked at Zhong Yating beside him, who looked so dependent and sad. When he considered that she had become like this because she saved his father, he felt even more unwilling to part with her.
However, adoption or inheritance…
Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t have time to think before his thoughts were interrupted by Zhongyu Liuying’s words which completely rejected such a suggestion.
