Chapter 1046: Stop Pretending To Be PitifulHou Zexian had just dodged Yu Meilin and was about to go upstairs when suddenly a hand grabbed his arm from behind. Then, the hand exerted its force and twisted his entire body.
Before Hou Zexian could react, another hand suddenly tried to grab the child in his arms.
His eyelids twitched and he quickly used his arm to block the hand. Then he used both hands to protect the child and ran away.
Hou Shihong finally confirmed his doubts that Hou Zexian really had an extraordinary desire to protect this child.
"Hou Zexian!"
Just as Hou Shihong shouted, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The housekeeper did not dare to go out, but when the bell suddenly rang, she could only crane her neck and run to the door. From the monitor, she could see Wei Xiaoqing standing outside. She did not ask Yu Meilin and the others for their opinion and continued to open the door.
The situation inside the house was already so chaotic. If Wei Xiaoqing came along, it should not be even more chaotic...
As soon as the door opened, Wei Xiaoqing rushed in. After running a few steps, she found Hou Zexian, Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong standing on the stairs in a deadlock. She looked at the child in Hou Zexian's arms. When she saw that the child was fine, she purposely let out a sigh of relief.
Walking towards Hou Zexian, Wei Xiaoqing said, "Zexian, so you are the one who handled my child's discharge procedure. Why did you go home without me? Never mind, give the child to me. I'll take him back to the room and feed him."
Wei Xiaoqing walked over to Hou Zexian and was about to pick up the child when he took a cautious step back.
Yu Meilin saw this scene and her anxious heart finally calmed down. As long as Hou Zexian didn't like Wei Xiaoqing, anything could be discussed.
But Hou Shihong continued to frown.
"Zexian, quickly give the child to your sister-in-law!" Hou Shihong ordered.
Hou Zexian looked at them coldly. With the child in his arms, he walked upstairs.
Wei Xiaoqing became restless and quickly ran after him. "Zexian, what are you doing? Give the child to me. You don't know how to take care of him. Why did you take him away?"
Hou Zexian took the child to his room. He kicked the door open and went in with the child.
Wei Xiaoqing unabashedly followed him into the room. "Zexian, quickly give the child to me!"
Hou Zexian turned around and stared at Wei Xiaoqing with a menacing look. "If you don't want me to expose this matter, stay away from this child."
Wei Xiaoqing looked at Hou Zexian wrongly. She continued to play dumb. "Zexian, what are you talking about? I don't know what you mean. Can you return my child to me?"
"Your child?" Hou Zexian asked. "Wei Xiaoqing, you can fool anyone, but you can't fool me! Don't forget, when you were transferred to another hospital, I was the one holding the child. Your child has a thumb-sized birthmark on his wrist, but does this child have it?"
Wei Xiaoqing's eyes widened in surprise, but she still didn't admit it. "What did you say? Zexian, did you remember it wrongly?"
Hou Zexian gently pulled up the baby's sleeve. "Look at him. His wrist is so clean, there's not even a birthmark there. Wei Xiaoqing, don't tell me that babies can erase birthmarks?"
Wei Xiaoqing still wanted to argue. She did not want to admit that she had just exchanged the child, but Hou Zexian did not give her a chance to argue.
"Tonight, I saw Liang Zixuan's child and her child happened to have a thumb-sized birthmark on his wrist. Wei Xiaoqing, if you still want to play dumb in front of me, do not blame me for being rude to you!"
Wei Xiaoqing completely lost the chance to argue.
Her eyes widened with hatred and she clenched her fists at her sides. "What do you want? Tell me, what do you want! You have no right to interfere in my affairs!"
Hou Zexian took two steps toward Wei Xiaoqing and coldly said, "Get out of my room right now."
Wei Xiaoqing held back her tears for a long time and they finally burst out at this moment. In the past, in the Hou Family, Hou Yingyi never came home and Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong really disliked her. Only Hou Zexian was different and did not treat her like them.
Although he was cold and quiet, he never said anything outrageous to her.
Wei Xiaoqing always felt that at least... In the Hou Family, Hou Zexian was fair to her.
Because he treated everyone coldly, so she was just like everyone else in front of him.
But now, the disgust in Hou Zexian's eyes and the ferocity in his tone made her clearly feel that Hou Zexian truly hated her!
In other words, since she had married into the Hou Family, no one in this family liked her!
"Hou Zexian..." Wei Xiaoqing's voice was filled with tears, "I know... I know you all look down on me, but can you not treat me like this? I don't care if you treat me badly, but this is my child. I beg you to return him to me, okay?"
Wei Xiaoqing's tears were nothing in Hou Zexian's eyes. Not a single sympathy arose in his heart.
He really hated Wei Xiaoqing. "That's how you lured Hou Yingyi back then, right? Hehe... Wei Xiaoqing, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. This method is useful to Hou Yingyi, but it's completely useless to me! I'll say it for the last time. Get out of my sight immediately!"
"Zexian..." Wei Xiaoqing was so sad that tears kept running down her face. She wanted to try again, but Hou Zexian's eyes became colder and darker. This kind of feeling was even more terrifying than when Hou Yingyi hit her.
Wei Xiaoqing was very unwilling, but she had no choice. She could only take one last look at the child and turned to leave.
As soon as the door closed, Hou Zexian finally felt the world go quiet.
Now, in his eyes and in his heart, there was only the child in his arms. He was like the child's biological father, lovingly coaxing the child.
By this time, the guests at the Han Family residence had already dispersed. The servants were busy cleaning the garden while the Han Family sat around Tian Qihua in the living room teasing Han Yingzhe.
Apart from carrying the child during the day, Liang Zixuan did not have a chance to hug the child at all when she came here.
Soon after, Qin Yu picked up the child and teased him several times. Immediately after, Jia Qiulian picked up the child and teased him a few times as well. After that, Old Madam Han and Luo Yanyun, Old Man Han, and the others also fought with each other to hug the child. Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun could only sit on the sidelines and watch.
"Baby, why do I feel that ever since we have this brat, our status in the family has become lower?"
Liang Zixuan glanced at Han Yuanjun and leaned on his shoulder with a smile. "How old are you? How can you be jealous of your own child? If other people hear about it, they will surely laugh at you."
"I'm not jealous." Han Yuanjun gently pinched Liang Zixuan's cheek. "It's just that I used to be the one surrounded by them. Now all of a sudden the attention is on this brat, I'm not used to it."
