Brother?
Xu Xinyan slightly widened her eyes.
A guess formed faintly in her heart, yet she dared not be certain, and could only look to her husband for confirmation.
Song Boyan smiled and said, "It's Xiaoyao, Zhizhi has found her brother back, he now goes by the surname An, named Yunhuai, Yun as in 'permission', Huai as in 'the Huai River'."
This time, Xu Xinyan truly felt as if she were dreaming, and before she knew it, her eyes had reddened.
The child had been lost before she had even met Song Boyan, but after they married, she accompanied her husband to visit the little girl.
The little girl lived alone in the countryside, isolated and without family or friends except for the person taking care of her. At that time, Xu Xinyan had suggested they might take the girl into their home—after all, raising a child meant spending money and energy to nurture her, and they wouldn't have to bear a child themselves, effectively gaining a daughter for free.
