Is Lu Chen testing her?
Xiu Mei wondered as she gawked at Lu Chen for his sudden question.
So she gave her honest and serious answer. "No."
Seeing Lu Chen's brows furrow, she hurriedly explain her side. "It's not like I hate Lu Qiang. He's an adorable and bright kid but the one who should be showering him maternal love is his biological mother, right?"
Lu Chen paused for a few seconds looking at her face before looking away. He started. "Lu Qiang's parents are dead."
"..."
What?
Xiu Mei was so stupefied with what she had heard that his words buffered in her mind. She had heard Lu Qiang speak of the same words but Lu Chen suddenly popped out claiming as his father so she assumed that Lu Qiang wasn't in good terms with his parents.
"Isn't he your...?"
Lu Chen looked back at her again before shaking his head. Holding the handle of his cup, he took a sip of the tea once more.
