The child's enthusiasm left Zhang Zheng feeling somewhat at a loss. He forced a stiff smile, instinctively wanting to evade the child's embrace, but when he saw the child's innocent smile, he couldn't bring himself to refuse and awkwardly picked the child up.
Wu Xuan watched this scene with a heart full of anguish. She longed to tell the child that this was his father, but she couldn't. She didn't know if Zhang Zheng had regained his memory, nor did she know how to face this sudden encounter.
"Dad, have you forgotten us?" the child asked, wrapping his arms around Zhang Zheng's neck in a sweet voice. "You said you would take me to the zoo to see the big tiger."
Zhang Zheng was stunned. He looked into the child's naive eyes, his mind blank, unable to recall any memories related to the child.
"I..." Zhang Zheng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan quickly stepped forward and took the child from Zhang Zheng's arms, forcing a smile as she said, "Sweetheart, this uncle might really have mistaken someone. Let's go."
Reluctantly, the child was taken away by Wu Xuan, glancing back at Zhang Zheng three times with confusion and grievance in his eyes.
"Excuse me, sir, my son is a bit shy," Wu Xuan said, giving Zhang Zheng a slight nod before turning to leave.
"Wait!" An inexplicable impulse surged within Zhang Zheng as he called out to Wu Xuan. "May I ask your name?"
Wu Xuan's body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly. "My last name is Wu. Is there anything else you need?"
"Wu Xuan..." Zhang Zheng wanted to say more when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Zheng, what are you doing here?" Rouxin approached Zhang Zheng with shopping bags in hand, looking pleasantly surprised. "I've been looking for you for half the day; I didn't expect to find you here."
Upon seeing Rouxin, Wu Xuan's heart sank to the bottom; she knew that what was coming had finally arrived.
"Rouxin? What brings you here?" Zhang Zheng smiled upon seeing Rouxin.
"I was passing by and thought I would buy you some fruit. I didn't expect to run into you," Rouxin said, handing the shopping bag to Zhang Zheng. "You've been busy with work lately; take care of your health."
"Thank you," Zhang Zheng replied softly as he accepted the shopping bag.
Rouxin's gaze fell on Wu Xuan, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She asked, "Zheng, who is this?"
"I..." Zhang Zheng began to explain but realized he didn't know how to introduce Wu Xuan.
"This is Wu Xuan; we..." Before Zhang Zheng could finish, he was interrupted by a child's innocent voice.
"Daddy, who is this auntie?" the child asked curiously, pointing at Rouxin.
The child's call of "Daddy" left Rouxin stunned. She looked at Zhang Zheng in disbelief, then at Wu Xuan. It felt as if a lightning bolt had struck her mind; she seemed to understand something, and her face turned pale instantly.
"You... what do you call him?" Rouxin's voice trembled as she looked at the child in disbelief and then back at Zhang Zheng, hoping for a reasonable explanation.
The air seemed to freeze. Zhang Zheng opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He didn't know how to explain it all and could only look helplessly at Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in her heart, and said to Rouxin, "Miss, you might be misunderstanding; we..."
"Misunderstanding?" Rouxin interrupted Wu Xuan's words. She looked at Zhang Zheng, her eyes filled with pain and despair. "Zheng, tell me, what is going on?"
