Ye Xingbei hugged him, her face bursting into a smile, as she bent down to kiss him, cradling him in her arms.

Gu Junzhu and Lingyue also paused momentarily.

Lingyue came up to her, politely greeted her: “Good morning, Auntie.”

“Good morning,” Ye Xingbei replied gently, with a smile, patting his head and examining his sleeves and pant legs, “Xiao Yue is growing taller.”

The clothes he’d had for just over a couple of weeks were already somewhat short.

Lingyue nodded shyly, “The food Auntie makes is delicious.”

Ye Xingbei smiled, patting his head again, her eyes filled with affection.

She’d been staying with the child in Beijing for over half a month, and there was no word from his father and stepmother.

Not even a single phone call.

She sometimes couldn’t help but wonder, if she took the child away, what if a trafficker took him? Would anyone care?

The child had been with her for nearly a month, during which he ate well and was happy, he grew a bit taller and his face filled out.

But what about later?

Emotions between people are slowly cultivated through daily interaction.

When she first took in Lingyue, it was just out of gratitude for him helping Xiao Shu and she wanted to repay him.

But now, after some time together, she had grown attached to the child.

The child was intelligent, sensible, and affectionate. If nurtured well, he would grow up to be a rare talent.

But if he were to return to that icy home, he might be ruined.

She couldn’t bear to let go of such a good child.

She stroked Lingyue’s head, put Xiao Shu down, squatted down, looked into Lingyue’s eyes and asked, “Xiao Yue, Auntie…wants to adopt you, would you like that?”

If his biological mother and stepmother didn’t care about him, she’d raise him!

Such a good child, she couldn’t bear to watch him grow up in indifference and hardship.

Lingyue looked at Ye Xingbei surprisingly, “Auntie?”

Ye Xingbei looked at him with a gentle smile, “Take your time and think about it. It’s okay if you don’t want to. You are Xiao Shu’s best friend, Auntie will always be good to you.”

“I want to!” Lingyue nodded emphatically, yet his expression showed some hesitation: “But what does adoption mean?”

Ye Xingbei was taken aback, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Sometimes Lingyue acted like a little adult and she treated him as one too.

He was only eight years old, how could he know what adoption meant?

Ye Xingbei gazed at his face with gentle eyes, patiently explaining, “Adoption means that from now on, you will always be with Uncle and Auntie, and you will never have to return to your own home.”

“The process may not be easy,” Gu Junzhu, who had been playing with Xiao Shumiao on the side, suddenly interjected: “Xiao Yue has his biological father, he does not qualify to be adopted.”

“Oh…” Ye Xingbei sighed regretfully, “I didn’t consider this…”

Gu Junzhu had looked into Lingyue’s situation.

Although Lingyue’s stepmother was not good to him, his biological father still cared for him. He was just too busy with work and didn’t have time for Lingyue.

Such a good child, she wanted to snatch him away, wouldn’t his biological father want to hold on too?

“But it’s possible to recognize him as our godson,” Gu Junzhu suggested: “We can name Xiao Yue as our godson, so he has a reason to stay with us.”

In Beijing, Lingyue disfigured Xie Yumo’s face. To protect Lingyue justly, he publicly claimed Lingyue was his godson.

He also liked this kid a lot, like a young wolf, just to his taste..
