Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 415 Lisa's Child

Ziqiao subconsciously looked to Nanfeng and the others for help, trying to find someone to help him avoid the lightning strike.

Just kidding, how could his ex-boyfriend possibly explain something like this to Lisa?

Is he really going to tell Lisa that he came here just to be a matchmaking mentor for his senior brother?

I feel there's something slightly sleazy about it.

Ugh! That's absolutely disgusting!

"Ziqiao, stop looking and just tell me."

While urging Ziqiao to confess and receive leniency, Nanfeng also told Zhanbo and Wanyu to quickly explain to the arriving waiters.

After all, the commotion they just made was quite significant.

"Okay, here's the thing..."

Ziqiao sighed, lowered his head, and resignedly explained the whole story to Lisa.

After listening to Zi Qiao's explanation, Lisa felt that the whole thing was quite a farce and absurd.

However, she did not immediately express her distrust. Instead, she asked to see the chat history between Ziqiao and her senior brother to find evidence that would make her trust them.

A listless Ziqiao and his senior brother, who was still in shock, exchanged a glance. Then, urged by Yifei and Yumo who came out of the restroom, they had no choice but to obediently hand over their phones.

By comparing the sending time of the photo of herself on her phone with other details in the chat history and corroborating Zi Qiao's explanation, Lisa was surprised to believe that things were really as Zi Qiao said.

So this group of people actually gathered at the restaurant just because they were enthusiastic and wanted to see something interesting.

As her anger subsided, Lisa silently returned the phones to her senior brother and Ziqiao. She looked around at everyone speechlessly, and finally just said indifferently, "You guys... are really quite special."

[They're not just unusual, they're a bunch of lunatics!]

Everyone gave an awkward laugh, then turned their gossipy gazes to Lisa.

Yifei carefully considered her words, then asked with a mixture of caution and gossip, "Lisa, now that we've explained the truth to you, does that mean you also...?"

"What?" Lisa looked at Yifei.

Yifei gave a dry laugh: "It's about the child, shouldn't you explain that to us?"

Lisa snorted, clearly with some emotion mixed in: "My child, is there any need to explain to you?"

"Oh, we're all friends, maybe we can help you out."

Yifei patted her chest and declared with great confidence, "Don't worry, if the child's father is a philandering scumbag who doesn't recognize his lover after he's done with his lover, we will definitely help you get justice."

"Hello!"

Ziqiao exclaimed in surprise, "Hu Yifei, isn't the implication in your words a little too obvious?"

Ziqiao's gaze began to frequently drift towards the main gate, as if he were looking for a suitable opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, although he did start to learn to take on some responsibilities after moving into the Love Apartment, the child was clearly not within his scope of responsibility.

However, everyone seemed to have anticipated Ziqiao's attempt to escape, and they all stood together in the direction of the gate, leaving him no room to run away.

Regardless of whether Ziqiao is capable of taking responsibility for the child, he should at least find out if the child is his.

Despite Yifei's attempt to defend her, Lisa remained silent.

Yifei continued tentatively, "Could you give me a hint... Is the child's father one of us?"

Curry Sauce tilted her head and whispered to Mika, "Isn't this already considered an explicit hint?"

Mika, who was in a very bad mood, just gave a perfunctory smile.

After an extremely oppressive silence, Lisa finally looked up at Ziqiao.

"Little Bu~"

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped.

Look at that expression, that tone, that melancholy and lingering gaze.

This is practically confirmation!

Everyone looked at Ziqiao, their eyes filled with inexplicable expressions.

It feels like everyone agreed to stay single together, only to find out later that someone suddenly became a father.

Especially since the father is the most unreliable one among them.

"Lu Ziqiao!"

Zeng Xiaoxian glared at Ziqiao, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "You're a complete scoundrel!"

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian stroked his chin, frowning in thought.]

I remember Ziqiao and Lisa only spent one night together, right?

So, is his marksmanship that accurate?

Wait a minute!

Xiaoxian slapped his forehead hard, as if he had realized the key point.

If Ziqiao's marksmanship is really that accurate, then why does he have so many ex-girlfriends...?

Xiao Xian felt a chill run down his spine, and the next moment he was horrified to see Zi Qiao fleeing in a disheveled state right in front of him.

Behind him, a group of children of different ages chased after him, calling him "Dad."

At this moment, Ziqiao was unable to respond to Xiaoxian's accusations. His eyes were glazed over as he stared blankly at Lisa in front of him, completely frozen in his daze.

"Ziqiao, Ziqiao?"

Nanfeng tried waving her hand in front of his eyes, but Ziqiao remained standing there, stunned.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he exclaimed, "Damn it, Ziqiao is erasing his own memories! Stop him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly crowded around, offering suggestions all at once.

"Pinch the philtrum! Pinch the philtrum!"

Slap him across the face! Slap him across the face!

……

After a while, Zi Qiao, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, squinted and covered his face, sitting in his seat in great pain, while Lisa next to him kept asking him how he was doing.

"Xiao Bu, are you alright? Are you in pain?"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Ziqiao looked at Nanfeng resentfully: "What are you thinking that makes you think I'm erasing my memories? I was just stunned by the shock!"

Nanfeng felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this: "But the way you were just now really made it seem like you were erasing memories."

"Well... never mind, never mind."

Ziqiao glanced at Lisa beside him. He couldn't very well tell her in front of her that he had already deleted his memories of being with her.

Seeing how much Lisa cared about Ziqiao, the senior brother sighed slightly.

Guan Gu patted his senior brother on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's alright, senior brother. Success is the daughter of failure. You've already found your mother, so having a daughter is just a matter of time."

Senior Brother: "..."

Are you trying to say that failure is...?

"..."

"...The mother of success?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Guan Gu encouraged his senior brother, saying, "Don't worry, senior brother, even if we fail this time, we will definitely help you."

"...Thank you." The eldest brother sighed.

Yifei coughed lightly a few times, attracting everyone's attention. She said to Ziqiao, "Ziqiao, although I know that having a child is indeed a huge shock for you, you are a grown man, and you have to take on the responsibilities of a man and a father."

"hehe……"

Ziqiao forced a smile, but quickly suppressed it due to the pain.

Taking responsibility?

What responsibility?

When did I give Yifei the illusion that I could shoulder such a great responsibility?

This isn't as simple as getting beaten up by your ex-girlfriends who dumped you before. This is a child, a child!

Is it something that can be taken responsibility for so easily?

"Yifei".

Xiao Xian tugged at Yi Fei's arm and whispered, "This is Lisa and Zi Qiao's business, don't interfere."

"I'm not just meddling," Yifei said defiantly, her eyes wide with anger. "What's wrong with me making Ziqiao take responsibility for what he should take?"

Xiaoxian explained, "But you can't just make decisions for Ziqiao and Lisa like that. They're not a couple yet. You can't force them to be together just because of the baby."

"How about we let Ziqiao and Lisa discuss it among themselves first and see if they can reach a consensus?"

Yifei sneered, "If Lisa and Ziqiao could reach a consensus, they would be together long ago. How could things still be like this?"

Xiao Xian was speechless: "Reaching a consensus means either both parties have the same goal, or they each have to compromise. It doesn't mean one party has to completely obey the other's ideas."

"Being together was Lisa's idea, not Ziqiao's."

"But Ziqiao's idea is wrong from the start; it doesn't conform to the public's ideology."

"I'm talking about reaching a consensus. Who cares whether his idea is right or wrong? Besides, right and wrong shouldn't be your judgment."

Yifei suddenly stood up and growled, "Zeng! Xiao! Xian!"

Zeng Xiaoxian stood up defiantly: "Hu! Yi! Fei!"

The two then began arguing as if no one else was around.

Lisa was stunned by what she saw. She looked at the others in confusion: "This is clearly a matter between me and Ziqiao. Why are the two of them arguing like this?"

"And aren't you guys being a little too calm?"

At this moment, the group, who were still chatting and laughing, turned to look at Yifei and Xiaoxian, who were arguing. Nanfeng waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's okay. They argue three to five times a month. No matter how fierce the argument is, the more they argue, the better their relationship becomes."

"Lisa, you'll get used to it."

Lisa smiled and said, "I feel like I'll have a hard time getting used to your absurd and casual atmosphere, and maybe you've misunderstood something."

Lisa sighed: "This child isn't Xiao Bu's."

"ah?!!"

Now everyone's shocked gaze turned to Lisa again, even Xiaoxian and Yifei, who had been arguing about the child, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Yifei asked again, "The child isn't Ziqiao's?"

"Um."

Lisa nodded: "I never said the child was Xiao Bu's."

Xiaoxian and Yifei exchanged a glance, and then exclaimed in unison, "So what were we arguing about just now?"

At this moment, Zi Qiao felt an indescribable joy welling up inside him. He turned to look at Lisa and carefully asked her again.

"Are you sure this child isn't mine?"

"Uh... not necessarily."

Lisa shook her head: "Actually, I don't know who the child's father is either."

The moment Lisa said that, everyone's gaze towards her instantly turned strange.

As the child's mother, how could you not know who the child's father is?

[Lisa, you were really into having fun back then.]

Xiaoxian stared at Lisa in disbelief, his expression quite remarkable.

[Boss, oh boss, what's wrong with you...]

You're so foolish.

"What are you thinking!"

Lisa knew from the way everyone was looking at her that they had misunderstood.

"This child is not my biological child; I adopted him."

She sighed: "At this time last year, the competition among the station's senior leaders was fierce, almost to the point of life and death."

"Later, my boss and biggest backer made a mistake and chose to retire after losing the competition."

"Although he used his connections before his retirement to ensure that I was not implicated by his downfall, my career still entered a low period because of this incident. Even a legal education program for teenagers that I had worked hard to prepare could not find a suitable host from the TV station."

"I had no other choice but to try my luck at the radio station and hold auditions for a host position."

"Then I met Xiao Bu again when I was interviewing Zeng Xiaoxian."

"Oh." Nanfeng suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you had to go to the radio station to pick those old fogies who were just coasting along, when there are so many excellent new hosts at the TV station every year."

Old-timer Zeng Xiaoxian's face darkened.

Wanyu looked at Xiaoxian: "So, Teacher Zeng, you're really lucky. You got a TV host job for free."

"What nonsense! Do you think my brother Xian is someone who relies on luck?"

Xiaoxian snorted, "I earned this opportunity myself, okay!"

Yifei waved her hand, urging Lisa to continue.

Lisa continued, "I wanted to rekindle my relationship with Xiaobu, but who knew he had such poor taste? He actually rejected me for some blonde, flat-chested girl."

Meijia gritted her teeth and corrected, "I have a name, Chen Meijia!"

Lisa didn't even glance at Mika, and continued to explain to everyone: "So, my career is in a slump, and my love life is also going badly. I thought I might as well finish this show and go back to being a housewife."

"So I adopted a child."

"He was only a little over six months old at the time. He was cute and lovable, and he would smile whenever he saw me."

"Of course, most importantly..."

She looked at Ziqiao with deep affection: "The child looks a lot like you."

"Wow..." Everyone exclaimed instinctively.

What a devoted woman she is.

Nanfeng glanced at Meijia, who was pretending to be nonchalant, and sighed.

Despite Lisa's touching speech, Ziqiao remained unmoved. He simply asked, "Then why did you call my name when we asked you who the father of your child is?"

"Well……"

Lisa remained silent for a moment.

Although the child wasn't Ziqiao's, she had indeed considered using the child to bind Ziqiao to her.

But in the end, Lisa still disdained to do such a thing.

She loves Zi Qiao, so she hopes to be with him.

Similarly, she also hoped that Ziqiao would stay with her because he loved her, not because of a child.

"Actually, what I wanted to ask you was whether you would be willing to form a happy family of three with me and our child."

Lisa held Ziqiao's hands tightly and said earnestly, "Xiaobu, if you think it through, I can resign anytime, and we can start a happy family anytime."

"Don't worry, I've made a lot of money over the years. Even without that money, I'm confident I can earn enough to support my whole family while staying at home."

"Xiao Bu, I lack nothing now, except for a sincere relationship and a male master."

"Are you willing to...?"

"Lisa..."

Ziqiao pulled his hand away from Lisa's tight grip and said with a troubled expression.

Actually, I wanted to tell you...

"There's a UFO!"

Before he finished speaking, he got up and sped off in a frenzy.

Watching Ziqiao's hasty retreat, the light in Lisa's eyes gradually faded.

Meijia immediately felt a sense of shared misfortune and stepped forward to pat Lisa on the shoulder.

As everyone watched Ziqiao disappear from their sight, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Pooh!"

I'm coming
