Chapter 49: Am I Really Capable?
Lu Beichen’s hand holding the spoon paused for a moment, and he looked at her colorlessly, a barely detectable expression in his dark eyes.
The topic of Lu Sinian’s biological mother had always been forbidden. They had just gotten their marriage certificate the day before; she shouldn’t be asking so many questions, "I’m sorry, I asked casually, please don’t be angry!"
His expression did not appear angry, nor did it show any other emotion, and he countered her question: "Do you think there could be a mother in this world who would abandon her own child?"
Ji Niandong didn’t expect him to ask such a question. Could it be that the child’s mother had abandoned her husband and child? Then this child truly has a connection with her!
Her heart tightened as she softly replied, "Indeed, there are women in the world who abandon their husbands and children!" She managed a dry smile, "Honestly, I don’t quite understand such women!"
Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows to look at her, her eyes already filled with bitterness. He didn’t probe further, merely saying, "Perhaps I didn’t pay enough attention to the mother’s feelings at the time!"
"Even so, the child is innocent! If she really hated you, she shouldn’t have given birth to the child in the first place!" Ji Niandong’s emotions were somewhat agitated, mixed with a bit of resentment.
Lu Beichen calmly replied, "Nian Nian was unexpectedly born prematurely, kept in an incubator for half a month, and later... thankfully, the little guy had a strong will to live. Perhaps the child’s mother really hated me, hated me enough to even give up her child."
His voice grew softer, his gaze fixed straight on Ji Niandong’s face, inexplicably complicated.
