Li Xueyue's mind went blank. Her smile froze and she stared at the child in utter disbelief. Did… did this little boy, no more than the age of three, declare Yu Zhen was his father? As in, Crown Prince Yu Zhen? As in, that brute of a Commander?!
She blinked—once, twice— before doing a double-take and letting out an awkward laugh. She was dumbfounded by the little boy's words.
At what age would Yu Zhen have fathered a child? But he was older than her by five years. It wouldn't be surprising if he had a child this young.
"Uhm," she struggled to find her next words.
Li Xueyue didn't even know what to say. She could only force her smile and try not to overthink the situation.
Who was this child's mother? Was she still around? How come no one told her about this little boy? She was going to be his step-mother. Wouldn't it have been better to introduce this kid earlier to her?
"Are you alright?" the little boy sullenly asked.
