Chapter 476: Chapter 474: Quite Troublesome?
He understood Lu Zhaozhao, if she decided to take charge, it would definitely be more than just superficial involvement.
She would make sure to find the most suitable candidate for Yuan Yuan before she would be satisfied.
After all, only those who have been in the rain would think of holding an umbrella for others.
What’s more, Yuan Yuan’s situation was even worse than Lu Zhaozhao’s previous circumstances at the Lu Family, making it easy for her to empathize and understand.
Therefore, no matter what Lu Zhaozhao wanted to do, he was willing to support her unconditionally.
Lu Zhaozhao seemed to sense Song Sinian’s dilemma. Her small hand reached through his side and tightly hugged him, "I already have a general candidate in mind for adopting Yuan Yuan, but I still need to consider it a bit more..."
Song Sinian slightly raised his eyebrows, "Don’t you plan to discuss it with me?"
Lu Zhaozhao’s watery eyes blinked, hesitated for a moment, "What do you think about... my Fourth Brother?"
""
Song Sinian instantly understood her thoughts.
If it was Xia Wenyan, he indeed fit the criteria.
He had wealth and power, and he wouldn’t care about the small assets Yuan Yuan had, plus the child... ugh, they would probably be willing.
Only now, the situation was a bit tricky.
Song Sinian’s dark eyes narrowed, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to start the conversation with Lu Zhaozhao.
His awkwardness was clearly visible in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes, she uncertainly pursed her lips, "Hubby, do you think I’m being too harsh on my brother?"
"No, I didn’t mean that," Song Sinian immediately shook his head decisively.
If Xia Wenyan knew that this adoption was requested by Lu Zhaozhao, not to mention adopting one.
Even if it were ten or eight, he would be willing.
It’s just that Xia Wenyan might not have the energy to deal with this right now.
Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head and looked at Song Sinian; it was rare to see him so conflicted, "Hubby, what’s really going on? If you think there’s something wrong with my approach, just say it..."
Song Sinian sighed softly, stretched out his arm to lift Lu Zhaozhao into his embrace, gently smoothing her hair, "How could I possibly question your methods? It’s just that..."
He intended to explain, but as the words reached his lips, they turned around, and he changed his statement, "Haven’t you noticed that your Fourth Brother hasn’t shown up for quite some time now?"
"Uh..."
Lu Zhaozhao was evidently stunned; if Song Sinian hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t really have noticed.
Previously, it was the Xia Family’s turn to visit, and occasionally, if someone was preoccupied, they would swap times with someone else.
Recently, the times when her Fourth Brother was supposed to come, it was mostly Wen Qingyu showing up; she thought it was her mom trying to see her daughter more, hence squeezing out her Fourth Brother’s time.
But from the tone of Song Sinian, it seemed that the issue was not simple.
She frowned slightly, somewhat worriedly asked, "Did something happen to my Fourth Brother?"
Xia Wenyan’s personality was always impulsive, indeed very prone to trouble, and previously, Xia Wenqing often helped clean up his messes.
But ever since Pei Huai was by his side, such situations almost never needed his second brother.
What was the situation now?
Song Sinian gently shook his head, "Your Fourth Brother is fine, the problem is with Pei Huai."
"What?" Lu Zhaozhao stared at Song Sinian in astonishment, hardly believing her ears.
Pei Huai was always meticulous; how could there be a problem?
Could it be that their relationship was exposed?
"It’s impossible. If that had been exposed, it would’ve gone viral on the internet already."
"But she hadn’t seen any news about it at all."
Song Sinian pushed back a stray hair by her ear and explained, "Pei Huai’s maternal family arranged a blind date for him, and that woman is quite troublesome."
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows knitted together instantly.
Troublesome?
If even Pei Huai couldn’t handle her, she indeed must be troublesome.
Her lips pursed slightly, and after a moment, she slowly spoke, "So where is Pei Huai now?"
Song Sinian shrugged lightly, "He’s probably overseas on the blind date, I guess..."
"And what about my fourth brother?"
He hadn’t gone abroad with Pei Huai, had he?
With her fourth brother being thick-headed and not getting it, if Pei Huai had a blind date, wouldn’t he just bless him on the spot?
Then the CP she supported would be ruined.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s furrowed brow, Song Sinian lifted his fingertips and gently pressed at her brow, chuckling lightly, "Your fourth brother is filming in the country. Since Pei Huai went abroad, he has been immersed in work, unable to extricate himself."
When Song Sinian spoke, it was obviously with a teasing tone.
Lu Zhaozhao also raised her eyebrows, her fourth brother couldn’t have had a change of heart during this time, could he?
She got excited immediately.
"Why don’t we invite my fourth brother to the Song Mansion tomorrow?" she suggested, her eyes nearly sparkling.
If she could use this opportunity to make her brother see the light, then Pei Huai’s trip abroad wouldn’t have been in vain.
Seeing her playful look, Song Sinian gently pinched her cheek and said, "If you’d like, have him come over soon. After all, you still need to discuss Yuan Yuan’s matter with him, right?"
"Right, exactly!"
Lu Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, Mr. Song from her family really had thought of all the reasoning for her.
If her fourth brother still didn’t get it, they might just have to let the two of them raise a child together to foster affection.
With that thought, Lu Zhaozhao sent a message to Xia Wenyan, asking him to visit the Song Mansion soon.
But unexpectedly, Xia Wenyan was quite proactive and arrived early the next morning.
The weather outside was gloomy with hail falling.
Lu Zhaozhao sat in her bedroom wrapped in a blanket, quietly watching Xia Wenyan, who sat opposite her on the sofa. Compared to before, her fourth brother had obvious dark circles under his eyes and looked far less lively than when he was with Pei Huai.
She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like her fourth brother seemed a bit wilted.
"Fourth brother, have you not been resting well recently?" Lu Zhaozhao pushed a cup of hot cocoa towards Xia Wenyan. "Have something sweet; it might improve your mood."
A brilliant smile immediately appeared on Xia Wenyan’s face, "As expected, it’s only my little sister who cares about me."
While talking, he picked up the hot cocoa in front of him and began to drink.
Xia Wenyan indeed hadn’t been resting well these days, not due to insomnia, but simply because he really hadn’t been resting well.
He had been filming in the crew recently and constantly felt empty. He thought he had too much free time, so he packed his schedule, but that restless feeling lingered.
The more he tried to shake it off, the more exhausted he became.
If it hadn’t been for the message from Lu Zhaozhao yesterday, he might have packed his schedule for the next few days too.
Xia Wenyan propped his chin with one hand and nonchalantly asked Lu Zhaozhao, "Isn’t it just because you haven’t seen your fourth brother for a while, and after comparing him to those other brothers, you’ve realized I’m the best, right?"
