Besides, he had no intention of taking Paulo's side and risking being disliked by Lian or Qiong Xing.
"That guy is always so— hmm? Lian?"
At some point, Lian had climbed down from Qiong Xing's lap and walked over to them.
"Lian likes Grandpa and Grandma."

Sarin looked at Qiong Xing in confusion, and Qiong Xing responded with a wry smile.
"It seems she prefers you two over Mr. Paulo. I think having both of you here is enough for her."
What was that?
That was far too adorable.
Without thinking, Sarin picked her up and nuzzled his cheek against her.
Katarina quickly reached out as if saying she was next, and when he handed Lian over, she hugged him tightly.
"...Are you two really not related by blood?"
"Unfortunately not."
Even so, Sarin felt like declaring out loud that blood ties did not matter.
To them, Qiong Xing and Lian were already family.
"Would you like to hold him for the occasion?"
What kind of occasion was that supposed to be?
