Chapter 658: Can I Call You Shaohui

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“So that’s how it happened.”

Large and broad-leaved potted plants lined up in the quiet and empty living room. In front of the potted plants, there was a very elegant dark colored sofa. Xia Ling, who was wearing a long white dress, sat on the sofa and drank tea from a celadon teacup. A man dressed messily in an expensive Armani shirt sat opposite her, with one of his buttons slanted and his sleeves rolled up half-way. There was an irritable look on his face, making him look quite scary.

“Ye Xingling, are you crazy?!” Lin Yunan reprimanded her. “How old are you this year? 24? You aren’t even married, yet you want to adopt a child? Have you considered the feelings of your fans? Do you not want to survive in the entertainment industry anymore?!”

“I...”

“Don’t try to explain yourself. Quickly send the child away. As soon as possible!” Lin Yunan said loudly.

Xia Ling said, “I won’t send him away. I want to adopt this child. I’m not discussing this with you. I’m just informing you. Lin Yunan, either you help me settle the paperwork or I’ll find someone else to do it for me.”

Lin Yunan looked at her like he was looking at a freak. “Wow, I see. You’re a Diva now and your wings have hardened, so you’re becoming more demanding?” Suddenly, he stood up and pointed at her. “You... you... After not seeing you for a few days, I can’t believe you have a child now. You’re really... really... the death of me!”

He really wanted to hurl a table. After managing so many artistes, he had never seen anyone do things without common sense like her. However, so what if he couldn’t stand it? He could only force himself to tolerate it! After working with so many artistes, Lin Yunan knew that although this artiste was usually quite obedient, once she was determined to do something, no one could change her mind.

He irascibly walked up and down the room for a while and forced himself to calm down before saying, “Ok. I will help you do the paperwork. However, you have to let me see that child.” No matter what, he would have to make a public relations announcement and come up with a plan to make the fans accept the child.

Xia Ling understood his intentions, nodded, and asked the child to come over.

The little boy was originally playing in the small garden and was covered in mud. Xia Ling gave up her plan of trying to keep him clean. She didn’t know why this child loved animals so much. If she did not pay close attention, he would run out to play with the cats, dogs, and squirrels happily.

Thus, the first thing Lin Yunan saw was a very filthy thing.

His small face and hands were covered in mud, and one couldn’t even tell the color of his shoes anymore. Lin Yunan was about to faint. He turned around to look at Xia Ling. “As someone who is worth more than one billion, how could you raise a child like that?”

How did this child look like he came from a rich family at all?

He was literally like a small roadside beggar!

Xia Ling proudly lifted her chin. “I like it.” She glanced at Lin Yunan. “I can raise my child in any way I like. You aren’t allowed to criticize him, understand?”

Lin Yunan said, “Seriously, you haven’t even finalized the adoption papers, yet you’re already calling him your child. Oh my god, have I owed you anything in my past life? Not only do I have to work for you, but I also have to work for this small guy!” He still looked at the boy with contempt. “Hey, what’s your name?”

The boy looked at him innocently and did not say a word.

“I’m asking you a question!” Lin Yunan was even more hot-tempered.

“You aren’t allowed to be fierce to him!” Xia Ling shielded the child in her arms.

Lin Yunan was about to go crazy...

That boy looked up from Xia Ling’s arms and said softly, “I can’t tell you my name.”

Lin Yunan wanted to strangle him...

Seeing that Lin Yunan did not look happy, she quickly tried to salvage the situation. “He probably really can’t tell you because he also didn’t tell me. I also don’t know his name.”

“How are we going to settle the adoption papers, then? No matter what, we need a name.” Lin Yunan gave up talking to that dirty little child. Was the kid stupid? He did not even know his name. He directly told Xia Ling, “How about this? You give him a name.”

Xia Ling had been thinking about this problem for all this while. Now, after hearing Lin Yunan mention this, she slightly lowered her head.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Yunan was impatient. “Quickly think of something.”

“Do you think...” Xia Ling paused for a second. Her clothes were stained in mud due to the child. Finally, she softly said, “How about we call him Shaohui?” That was her deceased child’s name.

“I know it’s very selfish.” She added. “But I don’t know why I think that this name really suits him and...” And she really missed Shaohui.

Lin Yunan was also quiet.

Only that child looked like he did not know what they were talking about. He only continued to play with Xia Ling’s pearl accessories happily.

After a long time, Lin Yunan said, “What is his surname then? Pei?” There was subtle ridicule in his voice. If Pei Ziheng found out that the name of his precious eldest son was given to this dirty child who spoke incoherently, would he collapse in shock?

Xia Ling rubbed the child’s hair. “His surname will be Ye.”

Now, she did not intend to marry Pei Ziheng or Li Lei, and this child completely belonged to her. Having her surname in this lifetime was the best option.

“At least you still have some brains.” Lin Yunan snorted and got up. “Rest assured and wait. I will help you go through the formalities.”

After that, he left Xia Ling’s house.

Lin Yunan did his job very efficiently. Very soon, he finished everything.

The child was officially named “Ye Shaohui” and she adopted him. Phoenix Down Corporation announced this to the world, causing a great uproar. Some said that she was full of kindness, while others said that she was despicable for using him as her dead child’s substitute and that it was unfair to this child.

Fortunately, under Lin Yunan’s efforts, the situation was under control.

The paparazzi, which was quiet for a long time, suddenly became busy again chasing her and intercepting her as they all flocked to ask about the child. She always smiled and said, “He’s a very cute child and always sticks to me. I really like him a lot.”

She always said that, but she never took Shaohui out in public.

She did not know what kind of family environment Shaohui had grown up in before he was adopted, but since he played so happily in the mud, he should not be from any famous family. She was afraid that he would not adapt well if he was suddenly bombarded by the media representatives after living a low-key life.

She decided to take it slow.

She would patiently nurture him and give him a happy childhood.

However, the curiosity of the outside world intensified.

Even Li Lei went to look for her.

The sky was full of stars on a midsummer night.

After finishing a job, Xia Ling left the TV station and saw a man standing behind a small flower bed on the side of the road. He had a hand in his trouser pocket and was looking at the night sky. The faint starlight outlined his sexy and charming face. His defined jaw was as beautiful as a sculpture’s and he looked very familiar.
