The silence in the air was eerie.
Zheng Xiyao raised her head, feeling a little uneasy for no reason. She turned her head to look in the direction of the man, and met a pair of focused and deep eyes.
Hawke came behind her at some point.
"What did your father-in-law tell you?"
Hawke immediately guessed why she wanted a child.
"Both your family and mine need a child now." Zheng Xiyao lowered her head and raised her fingers unconsciously.
Hawke held her finger and said lightly: "Do you want it?"
"I?"
"Um."
Zheng Xiyao hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and muttered: "I..."
"Yao Yao, this matter is between the two of us. If you want it, I want it too, and we want it. As long as you don't want it, we don't want it."
"Then you don't want children?"
Hawke laughed deeply and said, "Isn't it enough for you to be alone with me now? I don't want another person to share you with."
Zheng Xiyao chuckled. She actually didn't believe it. This was probably because Hawke was comforting her. Zheng Xiyao opened her smart brain and handed him the document Hunter had just given her.
"Are you really going to adopt a child from them?" Zheng Xiyao had no intention of peeking at Hunter's information when he received it, but it was the name on the list of Ares heirs who investigated it that attracted him.
After she opened it and read it, she realized that the heads of the Ares family on various planets in the Federation had asked Hawke to give birth to a successor as soon as possible to stabilize Ares' position at the center of Federation politics. But after Hawke refused many times, the family finally selected a child aged 0-5 for Hawke to choose as his adopted son to inherit the family's responsibilities.
At that time, Zheng Xiyao felt very heavy when she saw this series of information on more than 20 children. She knew that Hawke refused the family's request and decided to adopt the child because of her.
Zheng Xiyao knew very well why he had to join the army in the first place. This is because as the successor of the Ares family, he must bear corresponding responsibilities and gain strength.
But once he adopts a child from a certain family, it means that Hawke will also lose the corresponding rights and their years of hard work.
"Did you meet him?" The man's attention was not on the child at all. He reached out and lifted Zheng Xiyao's chin and asked, "How did you meet him?"
Zheng Xiyao slapped the man's hand away and said angrily: "It's not like someone was petty and asked a dignified colonel to run errands. He couldn't find you, so he naturally found me."
"You don't look like a man. When you encounter a problem, you actually ask a woman to solve it." Hawke was disdainful.
Zheng Xiyao was amused: "You guys are half-assed." She looked at Yingting's face carefully and stroked the scar between his eyebrows, "Are you really willing to give up so many years of hard work for me?"
"It's mine and no one can take it away."
Zheng Xiyao smiled and said: "Sure enough, you have a way." She said how could Hawke be at the mercy of others with his personality.
“Give them what they want and get what I want.”
"What?"
"They want rights, and I will give them. I will adopt a child as an heir. As for whether this child can bring them what they want, I can't control it." Hawke explained coldly, "Besides, I gave them ideas." If they want it, they will naturally have to pay the price.”
The man kept his secrets, and Zheng Xiyao actually felt a little sympathy for those old guys from the Ares family.
Zheng Xiyao stretched out her hand to block Hawke's neck, forcefully closed the distance between the two, and kissed the man heavily on the forehead.
Hawke looked blank and didn't move.
Zheng Xiyao pinched the man's face when she saw this: "What? Are you stupid?"
"Yao Yao, you?"
"Reward you, thank you for what you have done for me."
The man kissed Zheng Xiyao's fingers and said vaguely: "This is not enough."
"Then what do you want?" Zheng Xiyao's eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
The man suddenly raised his head and slowly moved closer to her. Seeing this, Zheng Xiyao closed her eyes unconsciously. "I'm going to sleep with you on the bed tonight." Hawke said seriously.
Zheng Xiyao was obviously stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect the man to make such a request at this time.
"good."
The man let go of her hand, touched her head happily, and then returned to his seat to handle official business.
Zheng Xiyao was speechless: "Well, if you are busy, I will leave first."
The man didn't even raise his head and responded calmly: "Yes."
Zheng Xiyao:......
[Hahaha, so funny. ] The system’s laughter made her brain hurt.
【What are you laughing laughing? 】She has walked out of Hawke's office.
[The mosaic I just downloaded in a hurry is really in vain. 】
[You have a system, but your thoughts are so dirty. 】
[Tsk, I don’t know who it is, my eyes were closed just now. 】
Zheng Xiyao took out a black remote control and waved it in front of the system.
Upon seeing this, the system immediately changed its attitude and said with a smile, "It's all because the male protagonist has no eyesight." Host, we have something to talk about. 】
[Your system is still afraid of our complaints. Aren't you omnipotent? 】Zheng Xiyao said angrily while putting away the "host complaint device".
As long as this "host complaint device" is pressed, the main system will receive the message, and law enforcement personnel will be immediately dispatched to take away the system. The system court will definitely go to court.
[Haha, host, tell me, if you have any orders, I will do my best to help you. 】This attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant. The system is so stupid! It's really good!
[Please check this child’s information. 】Zheng Xiyao handed out a boy's information to the system for investigation.
【This is……】
[My and Hawke’s child. 】
[Are you really planning to adopt a child? 】
[Do you want me to have one? 】
【why not? 】The system is puzzled. Isn’t reproduction the most important thing for human beings?
【I will leave here eventually. ] Zheng Xiyao simply answered. The system immediately understood what Zheng Xiyao was saying.
[But why do you want to choose it yourself? 】
[I can no longer give him a child, so naturally I have to choose an excellent heir for the male lead. 】
【So that's it. 】
Soon, the system sent her the found information. After reading it, Zheng Xiyao was very satisfied.
In the evening, when Hawke came back, Zheng Xiyao handed him the boy's information.
"What is this?" Hawke asked.
"The document I gave you in Chinese today was the one I pulled out." She paused for a moment, observing the man carefully reading the information and continued, "If you really want to adopt a child. I think this child is okay."
Hawke turned a few pages and asked in a low voice: "Why?"
"Aris Feyang is no longer in the center of power by his father's generation, so his family has the least impact on us. Secondly, this child's parents died early. It will be easier for you to cultivate the relationship between father and son in the future."
"That's it?" Hawke put down the information in his hand and looked at her quietly. "If you want children with such a background, there are many in the Ares family."
"Actually, there was one reason why I finally chose him." Zheng Xiyao hesitated.
"What?"
"He misses you very much." Zheng Xiyao put her hand on the boy with black eyes in the photo and said softly, "I don't know why, but I feel that this child and I are destined to be together."
Hawke put his arm around her shoulder, put his chin on her shoulder, and laughed softly: "What should I do? In fact, I also chose someone."
"ah?"
"That's the kid."
As he spoke, Hawke took out a photo and handed it to her.
