章 763: Her Calmness

When Li Yiran appeared, Huangfu Ruixiang was assisting Zhong Yating with putting on the ring, which was already halfway on.

The moment he laid eyes on Li Yiran, he was taken aback. However, seeing the child in Li Yiran's arms stirred within him a strange sensation, akin to the pride of a new father.

He had been aware of the child's birth. Yet, amidst the whirlwind of events during that period, he had been overwhelmed, lacking the energy to attend to the child. He hadn't even spared a glance at the infant.

Of course, the thought of the child had crossed his mind later. However, with Huangfu Ruiling's true identity exposed, Zhong Yating's relentless pursuit, and her insistence on repayment, followed by their impending marriage, he had been consumed with other matters, leaving no room to consider the child.

Had Li Yiran not appeared with the child, he might not have recollected his paternity at all.
