Hongji ultimately chose to believe that this child was his own, and he had to protect her, to guard her secret.
"Siwa, don't tell anyone about the honey, okay? Not your elder sisters, not your aunts or grandfathers, no one."
Siwa didn't understand why her father had instructed her so, but she nodded obediently and said,
"Daddy, Siya knows, Siya won't tell anyone."
"Hmm, you are all good children. Daddy has to go to work. You must close the doors and windows, and don't go outside at all."
At Hongji's reminder, Siwa nodded.
Ye Shiqi lowered the hand covering her face, choosing to trust this father, and nodded along with Siwa.
Only then did Hongji open the door and go out, then he closed the door to the room again.
"Big brother, why do you lock the doors and windows of your room? Your two children are inside, aren't you afraid of suffocating them?" Ye Shuzhen wasn't concerned about her nieces; she was just asking out of curiosity.
