Luo Zhiyong thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow at Fang Pingying, and said to her, "Like Haohao’s identity." Seeing Fang Pingying not speak, Luo Zhiyong sighed and shared his concerns, "I’ve always been worried about this issue; whose child Haohao really is—is he Luo Zhiming’s or that man’s? To put it bluntly, if Haohao is Luo Zhiming’s, it would be somewhat better, because initially it was my mom and the rest who refused to acknowledge the child’s identity. Even if it is Luo Zhiming’s, Fang Xiu can choose not to acknowledge him." Updates are released by NoveI~Fire.net "But what if the child is that man’s? Like in the TV dramas, where the man comes to claim Haohao. Suppose Zhou Guangsheng finds out then that Fang Xiu had another man before, or even had relations with another during the marriage, what do you think Zhou Guangsheng would think?" Fang Pingying sighed, unable to deny that Luo Zhiyong’s worries were valid. The way of the world always had its twists; no one can guarantee whose child it really is, what future interactions might ensue between Fang Xiu and Liu Junting. If it really happens like what Luo Zhiyong said, it might be even harder to explain to Zhou Guangsheng then. Thinking this, Fang Pingying helplessly looked at Luo Zhiyong and said, "So what should we do?" Luo Zhiyong half-reclined on the bed, reaching out to pull Fang Pingying closer, and said to her, "How about this, these next few days try to feel out Fang Xiu’s intentions. If she really likes Zhou Guangsheng and the two have a chance together, ask her what she plans to do and if she wants to share her situation with Zhou Guangsheng." "My suggestion is for Fang Xiu to be honest with Zhou Guangsheng, to prevent future troubles," Luo Zhiyong measured his words. "Knowing Zhou Guangsheng as I do, if Fang Xiu is upfront with him before they start dating, he might not mind too much since it is something from the past, and Fang Xiu has indeed changed a lot over the past year." "Alright, I’ll ask Fang Xiu tomorrow." Fang Pingying paused and then suddenly remembered something, "But are we perhaps overthinking this? Fang Xiu still has Gao Sheng. Although it seems like Fang Xiu doesn’t care much about Gao Sheng, the two are still in contact. I even said to Xiu’er today to bring Gao Sheng along on the day we’re hosting the first birthday party for Ruirui and the others." Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying very surprised, "She’s still dating that person? I’ve never met him and thought they had already broken up." Fang Pingying didn’t know what to say and replied somewhat irritably, "They haven’t broken up, but neither have they gone further. They’ve just been hanging on, I asked Fang Xiu about it today." Luo Zhiyong heard her and immediately shook his head, telling Fang Pingying, "If that’s the case, then we shouldn’t rush the issue with Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng. Let her sort out her relationship with Gao Sheng first; we don’t want a mess that could ruin Fang Xiu’s reputation." "Fine." Anyway, Fang Pingying believed in fate. If two people are meant to be, no matter how they are detoured, they will end up together. If not, no matter how much you try to force them together, it would be in vain. So, in the following days, Fang Pingying didn’t specifically ask about Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng’s situation. She just went along with the previous arrangements, letting Fang Xiu bring Gao Sheng over to the family on the day of the kids’ birthday. Fang Xiu seemed to have something to say to Fang Pingying, but after thinking about it, she finally agreed to bring Gao Sheng along. Soon, the day of the triplets’ first birthday arrived, and to accommodate the adults’ work schedules, it was specifically set on a Sunday. Early in the morning, Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying were up. After getting up, they went to Luo Honglan’s room where Yaoyao and Ruirui, the two little ones, saw their parents and happily shouted, "Daddy, Mommy." As they called out, they climbed down from their little beds, wobbling barefooted towards their parents. Both children were early talkers, and their pronunciation of ’daddy’ and ’mommy’ was already very clear. They were able to call out to everyone they frequently see. Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying both smiled and quickly walked up to catch their two little treasures. As before, Luo Zhiyong held his daughter, and Fang Pingying her son. Yaoyao, the little girl, was happy in her daddy’s arms, fiddling with her daddy’s head wanting to ride on Luo Zhiyong’s neck like a horse. Luo Zhiyong smiled helplessly, lifting his daughter upwards to sit on his neck, where Yaoyao laughed gleefully. Seeing this, Ruirui in Fang Pingying’s arms also started shouting loudly, clamoring to get up there too. Usually, compared to his son, Luo Zhiyong was much stricter with his son, allowing many things for his daughter but not his son, making Ruirui somewhat afraid of Luo Zhiyong and less attached. But today being his son’s birthday, Luo Zhiyong made an exception. After Yaoyao was tired of sitting, wanting to go to Fang Pingying, Luo Zhiyong also lifted his son to his neck and took him to the kitchen to check what to have for breakfast. Ruirui, rarely being this close to his dad, was extremely happy. Laughter between father and son could intermittently be heard in the living room. Luo Honglan listened and smilingly said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, it’s weird with my big brother. Usually, others favor sons over daughters, but he seems to dislike Ruirui." Fang Pingying glanced at her and smiled, "Silly girl, he loves Ruirui just the same in his heart. It’s just that Ruirui is a boy, so his expectations are naturally stricter. Nowadays in the city, it’s popular to say boys should be raised with hardship and girls in richness. What your brother is doing is just right." In fact, this was something people would say years later; in this era, those who favored sons over daughters were still very numerous. Luo Honglan hadn’t heard of it, and didn’t ask further, just pouting, "City girls are indeed lucky. During our time, in our parents’ eyes, girls like us were uncherished." Fang Pingying pursed her lips; in fact, she wanted to say that not just Luo Honglan, but even now Luo Zhiyong in Zhou Yunmei’s eyes was also undervalued. But on such a good day today, Fang Pingying didn’t want to bring up such frustrating topics and just smiled without saying anything. After playing with Yaoyao on the bed for a while, they heard the phone ringing in the living room followed by Luo Zhiyong shouting, "It’s mom calling, asking if you guys are up yet. She said she’s already bought the birthday cakes for the little ones with Uncle Zhao and they are coming over, worried that we might not be up yet." Hearing this, Fang Pingying smiled and shouted back, "Tell mom to have breakfast outside instead, come to our house for breakfast, I’ll make sauce pancakes for them. Uncle Zhao mentioned last time that they were delicious." Luo Zhiyong hummed in response and continued talking to Li Aihua on the phone.
