"This child, although I did have feelings for your mother, you must believe me, your mother and I never did anything to betray your father."
Uncle Li was stunned for a long time before abruptly changing the subject. Xu Ke, staring at him intently, sighed, realizing he wasn't going to get anything out of him.
"Since you're unwilling to speak, let's just pretend I never asked. Let's not bring this up to her."
Xu Ke was particularly focused while cracking sunflower seeds, whereas Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the child didn't press further; otherwise, he wouldn't know what to fabricate. Meanwhile, Xu Ke was unaware that Wang Cuixia had already stood behind him, silently watching him for a long time before finally sitting on a stool.
Uncle Li, sensing the weird atmosphere, quickly found an excuse to slip away.
"I have pigs to feed at home, so I'll head off. You two continue chatting."
Wang Cuixia gave Uncle Li a strange look, knowing he had no pigs at home.
