696 Acknowledging Family

Hearing this, the others were stunned again.

Jiang Ming spoke on behalf of them, “Master Murong, we won’t stay here for long. We’re just resting here for a while.”

At this moment, the child that Master Murong brought walked over again. His eyes were red as he called out to Jiang Ming, “Father, my leg is swollen. My leg… My leg…”

In just a short while, this child had already grown into the appearance of an elementary school child. Master Murong felt helpless, “Child, why did you come out here? Don’t come out at a time like this.”

However, the child started crying at this moment. He looked upset. “I want to be with my father. I don’t want to be with anyone else.”

Jiang Ming felt very helpless. He walked to the child and approached him. “Child, I hope you can understand what’s going on. I am not related to you. From now on, you can’t call me your father. This is against the rules.”

The child did not heed the last part of what Jiang Ming said. He only heard the first half of it. “I have a name. My name is Little One. My name is Little One!”

Hearing the child’s words, Jiang Ming felt his head hurt. He did not know what to do for a moment. Then, he leaned in front of the child and said again, “Child, I’ve already said it. I’m not your father, and I didn’t give you a name. That’s not your name either. Almost every child is referred to as ‘Little One’ by the people around them.”

Upon hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the child’s mood suddenly dropped. His entire body drooped down, and he trembled as he twisted his hands. He said innocently, “Father, did I do something wrong?”

“You can’t call me father. I’ve already said that I’m not your father.”

Jiang Ming looked at the child seriously and prayed for the child in his heart.

He hoped that this child could find his biological parents. That way, he would no longer need to ask others to be his parents.

Unexpectedly, the child was persistent and cried, “No, no, I want you to be my father. I don’t care! I don’t care.”

Toward the end, the child began to roll around. He did not want to listen to Jiang Ming’s words at all.

Seeing how stubborn the child was, Jiang Ming could not help but be at a loss.

Master Murong hated this kind of behavior the most. He immediately said, “If you continue to act like this, you will not be able to get your father’s recognition!”

As he said that, he looked at the child. The child instantly became nervous. He quickly looked at Master Murong and stood up, “I know. I won’t act like this anymore.”

Then, he looked at Jiang Ming pitifully and went forward to grab Jiang Ming’s trousers carefully. “Father, please punish me if I did anything wrong. I beg you, don’t let me go. Just let me stay.”

As he spoke, he drew a circle in his hand and filled it with flames.

The child looked at Jiang Ming excitedly and said, “Father, look. Isn’t my spell powerful? I learned this by myself so that you’ll like me more.”

Jiang Ming pursed his lips and fell silent for a moment.

He did not expect this child to grow up so quickly. Not only that, but he could also learn some skills by himself.

Zhu Asi and the others also fell silent when they saw the child working hard.

They did not expect this kid to like Ning Caichen so much.

However, it made sense. They all liked Ning Caichen’s strength.

If Ning Caichen refused to be friends with them, there was a high chance that they would also pester Ning Caichen like this.

Zhu Asi could not help but understand the child’s obsession with Jiang Ming. He immediately looked at the child and went forward to support him. “Child, go take a bath. You’re covered in dirt.”

However, the child was stubborn. “If Father doesn’t want to accept me as his son today, then I will stay here. No matter what, I will always stay with Father.”

Seeing the child’s perseverance, Jiang Ming pursed his lips and did not know what to say.

What was he going to do?

This child would only bring him trouble. He really did not understand why this child was so stubborn and wanted him.

At this moment, the child suddenly looked at Jiang Ming pitifully. “Father, why don’t you want me? I really want to stay with you.”

Jiang Ming looked at the child and said thoughtfully, “Child, do you know that I’m not your biological father?”

“I know.”

The child immediately nodded.

“You knew that?” Zhu Asi raised his voice and looked at the child in confusion. “Then you still want Ning Caichen to be your father? Wouldn’t it be better to be with your biological parents?”

The child was embarra.s.sed. “I’m only grateful to my biological parents for giving birth to me, not for raising me. I feel that Lord Ning Caichen is the perfect father in my heart.”

Everyone was stunned.

How did this child have such good taste?

He had actually chosen Lord Ning Caichen! Even they did not dare to do something so brazen.

As the person involved, Jiang Ming only wanted to say one thing. This child was really stupid! If he did not find his biological parents, what was he going to do? What if he did not treat this child well? Then would not this child be hurt in the end?

“Don’t think like that. Hurry up and go to your biological parents. Your biological parents must miss you very much.”

Jiang Ming tried to persuade the child to stop clinging to him.

However, the child was inexplicably rebellious. He resisted and said, “No, they must be living very comfortably now. If I go over, they definitely won’t want me. I don’t want to go over and humiliate myself.”

Hearing the child’s words, Jiang Ming felt a headache coming on, but everyone’s eyes were on the child.

They were all amazed.

This child truly was bold!

If Ning Caichen really took him in as his son, his son would be able to enjoy a great life, and all kinds of skills would be at his fingertips.

“It’s impossible for them to abandon you and still live comfortably. You can’t say such hurtful words.”

Jiang Ming tried to convince the child again.

His patience was wearing thin. If this child continued to be so stubborn, his patience would soon run out.

The child lowered his head and continued to act like he was sad. “Father, are you planning to abandon me? I’ll always be loyal to you. I’ll swear my loyalty to you to the death.”

As he spoke, he placed his hand on his chest. “If Father doesn’t believe me, I can swear on my life that everything I said to Father today is the truth. If I’m lying, let me be struck by lightning.”
