"I disagree."
Zheng Xiyao directly rejected Hawke's proposal.
The man was puzzled: "Why?"
"This child is not a child of the Ares family. Her surname is Zheng."
Zheng Xiyao pointed to the children in the two photos, "They are still young, how can you decide their future now?"
Hawke was silent for a while.
"Why not?" the man murmured persistently.
"They are not our substitutes." Zheng Xiyao could tell what Hawke was thinking at a glance. "You want to make up for the missed time between us. We will always have time in the future. But they are still young, and they may not necessarily follow the rules when they grow up in the future. Grow up the way you expect." It was rare for Zheng Xiyao to persuade someone with sincere words.
"If they can't grow up according to my expectations, why should I adopt them?" the man replied coldly.
Zheng Xiyao was speechless for a while.
"Hawk, they are human beings too. They also have their own feelings. Neither you nor I can control them."
"But I helped them choose the best ones." The man still refused to give up.
Seeing that Hawke refused to listen, Zheng Xiyao pushed the man away and fell asleep alone.
"Yao Yao?" Hawke called several times, but there was no response. Seeing that Zheng Xiyao was really angry, he coaxed the woman in a good voice, "Why don't we just listen to you? Let's go see them tomorrow. If they say they don't want to, I will give up."
After saying that, she hugged Zheng Xiyao, she opened her eyes and leaned into Hawke's arms: "Okay, don't go back on your promise."
"Well, no" Hawke responded softly.
The next day, she met the two children in the photo.
At this speed, it seems that some people in the Ares family are very anxious.
"Hello, I'm Zheng Xiyao." She squatted in front of the two cuties and stretched out her hand to say hello.
The little girl in the yellow tutu looked unrecognizable at all. The girl stretched out her fleshy little hand and put it on her hand. Zheng Xiyao's heart suddenly melted. He picked up the girl who looked like a glutinous rice dumpling, leaned over and kissed her hard.
The girl stared at her round purple eyes and asked curiously: "Auntie, are you our mother?"
Zheng Xiyao was stunned at first, looking at this cute girl with a round face. Although she wanted to agree, her reason stopped her.
"Little guy, what's your name?"
"Nian Nian."
"So your name is Nian Nian." Zheng Xiyao pinched the girl's chubby face and smiled.
"My name is Fei Yang." Before she could ask, the little boy beside her suddenly answered.
This time Zheng Xiyao turned her attention to the little boy who had been standing aside. The boy stood upright and watched the woman's attention turn to him without any timidity. Dark and bright eyes looked straight at her.
At this moment, Zheng Xiyao finally understood why she fell in love with this little boy as his heir at a glance.
He really does look like Ares Hawke as a kid.
She put down her thoughts, took the two children's hands, and led them to the sofa.
"Niannian, Yangyang."
"My name is Fei Yang, not Yangyang." The boy corrected Zheng Xiyao seriously.
Little Zhengtai pretended to be a little adult and made her laugh: "Okay, okay, little friend Fei Yang."
Zheng Xiyao half-crouched and held the hands of the two children and asked softly: "Do you know what you are doing here?"
The two kids looked at each other and nodded.
"Then you all came here voluntarily?" Zheng Xiyao asked carefully, fearing that they wouldn't understand and then said: "If you all live with your aunt and uncle in the future, would you like it?"
The little boy nodded without hesitation.
At this time, Zheng Xiyao was relieved.
"Auntie, will you still have flowers if you can't see your grandparents after living with you?" As she said this, the girl burst into tears. Zheng Xiyao felt heartbroken and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"No, we can still see our grandparents when we come here, but we can't meet often." Fei Yang didn't know where to find a handkerchief and wiped Nian Nian's tears, still gesturing to her with his eyes.
"Yes, Yangyang is right. Don't take pictures of me. After we live together, we can also see our grandparents." Zheng Xiyao comforted.
The girl gradually regained her composure under their comfort, "Then shall I live here with Brother Yangyang?"
the girl asked innocently.
"Of course." A cold voice came, and Zheng Xiyao looked up at Hawke, who was approaching in a dusty way.
He was very satisfied when he saw the two children, especially Nian Nian. Rarely, this murderous man calmed down and picked up the girl.
"If you want to live with your brother, let's live together." Hawke replied to the girl with a doting look on his face. Nian Nian happily hugged his neck and kissed his cheek excitedly.
Hawke held Nian Nian high and was having a great time.
"Nian Nian, do you want to be brother Yangyang's wife?" the man asked with a smile.
"Hoke, you." Zheng Xiyao was surprised that a man asked such a direct question to an ignorant child.
"What is a wife? Can she eat it?" Nian Nian grabbed Hawke's hair and asked doubtfully.
"A daughter-in-law is someone who can be together forever. When Niannian marries Yangyang, she will become Yangyang's wife, and you can be together forever." Hawke explained.
"What about you?"
"We will also accompany you."
"Then I will be brother Yangyang's wife." The girl agreed with a smile and winked at Fei Yang.
"Okay, okay." Hawke was filled with joy.
"Okay, okay, what did you promise me?" Zheng Xiyao seriously reminded the man who was immersed in joy.
"Ah," the man thought of something, lowered his head and asked the quiet boy, "Boy, how about letting Niannian be your wife in the future?"
Fei Yang looked at the tall and mighty man, then at the beautiful and gentle woman, and made a decision in his heart.
"good."
"Okay, he is indeed my son." Hawke patted Fei's head and praised.
Zheng Xiyao frowned. She felt that she was obviously being fooled. These two kids didn't understand anything and were completely tricked by Hawke.
"Hawk..."
"Yao Yao, I did what I promised you." The man lowered his head and put the child back on the sofa and said calmly.
Seeing the man's insistence, Zheng Xiyao did not refute. After all, this was his heir and he had the right to choose.
Eventually, they adopted two children: Ares Feiyang and Zheng Niannian.
After all the procedures were completed, Zheng Xiyao informed her father of the results. Councilor Zheng was silent for a long time after receiving the news, and only replied with one word: "Get out!"
Then she got busy. Raising children was never an easy task. In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, children's education is also very important, especially the education of heirs, which is related to the future of the entire family. Choosing a teacher is a time-consuming task.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm looking at the resumes of the children's teachers." Zheng Xiyao flipped through the resumes of teachers carefully selected by Ares and the Zheng family.
In the end, Hawke just said "Oh" calmly, and then went about his own business.
Two hours later, Hawke came over, his eyes indifferent, and asked: "Have you chosen?"
Zheng Xiyao looked at Hawke with the same expression and couldn't help but twitching her lips and said, "No."
Hawke was silent for a moment, and then he continued: "It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"
Zheng Xiyao: "..."
Zheng Xiyao was completely speechless now.
Whose heir is this?
Perhaps because her expression of dissatisfaction was too obvious, Hawke finally explained: "According to Ares's rules, Fei Yang's study naturally has a training system. You don't have to worry, as for Nian Nian, Lan Yin will teach her personally."
Zheng Xiyao was surprised: "Lanyin?"
Hawke: "Well, she asked for it."
Zheng Xiyao: "Oh, okay."
Hawke: "Can you look at me now? You haven't even looked at me all night."
Zheng Xiyao: "You can't be..."
Before she could say anything, Hawke picked her up and whispered in her ear: "Don't focus on your child from now on."
