How is the old man supposed to answer this question?
If he says Xixi wasn't born to Lian Xinying, wouldn't she start crying? But if he says she was, then Xiaocheng might follow up by asking if his dad was the one who gave birth to her.
Moreover, once Xiaocheng is told that this sister Xixi was born to Lian Xinying, he'll definitely not let Ji Fan take Xixi away.
Xiaocheng will then assert that she is part of their family.
"Well..." Father Yan didn't answer immediately but whispered to Ji Fan, "How should I respond?"
Ji Fan was straightforward: "Just say it. This can't be hidden."
Xiaocheng will find out sooner or later.
After a moment of contemplation, Father Yan spoke to Xiaocheng.
"Xiaocheng, Grandpa can only tell you that Xixi shares the same mom as you. Don't ask any more questions for now." After Father Yan told Xiaocheng this, he naturally believed that Xixi was born under the same circumstances as Miaomiao!
So, his expression towards Xixi changed in an instant.
