Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

The judge looked back to see none other than a six to seven-year-old child. He furrowed his eyebrows. Who let this child inside? Wasn’t this lawsuit a private one that prohibited outside entry?

He lifted his gaze, only to realize that it wasn’t just the child who had entered. Behind the boy stood four burly men. All of them wore clothing similar to that in the Arabian region, an entire outfit of white.

“Were you the one speaking, child?” The judge asked the boy in the white suit. Although he was young-with just a glance, it was easy to tell that he was a remarkable person. Even just from the four men standing behind him, one could tell that he wasn’t a normal boy.

“Yes.” The boy, although small, had an air of magnificence. Of course, a few forbidding men were standing behind him.

Rainy lifted her head from Gao Yi’s embrace and blinked her eyes strangely. Why was he here?

“What’s wrong, Rainy? Do you know him?” This boy who suddenly appeared made the current atmosphere seemingly even more whimsical.

“Yes.” Rainy nodded her head and sobbed. “Little brother said before that he will help Rainy. Rainy doesn’t want to leave Mommy.”

Upon seeing Rainy’s eyes red from crying, the boy’s expression seemingly darkened a little. This little rabbit, why was she still such a crybaby?

“Child, this isn’t a place that you can just enter as you please. Didn’t your parents tell you this?” The judge walked forward and said to the boy. His voice, although gentle, had a stern tone.

The boy simply bowed politely in response. “Greetings, sir. I know that this is a place I shouldn’t carelessly enter; however, I simply came to say this: her”-he pointed towards Xia Ruoxin—”and her...” followed by Rainy.

“Both of them are not, in any way, punishable under the laws of your country.”

The judge paused for a moment, unable to understand what the child meant. He was spilling nonsense, wasn’t he? However, that serious expression and those noble sky-blue pupils, he really didn’t seem like a child who would lie.

Then...

What could his words mean?

The child took out a piece of paper from within his embrace. “They are citizens of the Republic of Gea; therefore, all legal jurisdictions belong to our country. In our country, all custodial rights are granted to the child’s mother.”

“Yes, your honor. He is the prince of our country. That lady and that child have obtained Gea citizenship as of yesterday. Thus, the laws of other countries are inapplicable to them.”

A man stepped forward, placing his hands over his chest. A few days before, he still couldn’t understand why their prince had stayed up overnight just to convert the nationality of these two people to Gea citizens. Today, he finally understood why.

It seemed like their prince was a little too mature for his age.

Was he really only seven? The children of their wise and brilliant king were indeed impressive.

The judge paused for a moment. He had never expected things to turn out like this. This just became an international lawsuit. He had heard of this country before. Although it was a small country, it still received a noticeable amount of international recognition. Furthermore, the laws in their country were really as of mentioned.

He looked at the proof of citizenship in his hands. It was definitely real and not fabricated. Anyway, no one would forge such evidence. Therefore, he decided to dismiss his verdict.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chu. Regarding these matters, you could discuss them over again with Mrs. Xia.” He turned around and nodded his head at Chu Lui as he spoke. As for Chu Lui, he was helpless.

This kind of international lawsuit, there was no way he could win. Neither could he decide on the verdict for another country.

Rainy climbed up from Gao Yi’s lap then ran towards Xia Ruoxin’s side. “Mommy.” She hugged Xia Ruoxin’s leg tightly and lifted her head to look at her. Xia Ruoxin squatted down and gently leaned her forehead against Rainy’s small head.

She thought that she was going to lose her, but she didn’t. Did she really not lose her?

“Mommy, Rainy doesn’t want to leave Mommy. We don’t want that evil daddy. Rainy hates him,” said Rainy. The moment her gaze landed on Chu Lui, the detested look in her eyes thickened a few folds; whereas Chu Lui suddenly felt that his heart was being rawly ripped open.

It turned out that in the end, he still wasn’t able to obtain anything. He even ended up making his daughter hate him more.

“Yes. Mommy won’t leave Rainy, too.” Xia Ruoxin picked up her daughter that was in her embrace, whereas several people listening in from the sidelines had already started crying.

“Let’s accept it.” Song Wan gripped Chu Jiang’s hand tightly. “Perhaps we really shouldn’t have been so selfish. Didn’t you see, Rainy’s need her mother but doesn’t need her father. Neither does she need us. We can just go and visit her every day. Otherwise, we could possibly lose this granddaughter of ours.”

What else could Chu Jiang say? The only road left for them to go down was the road of acceptance. It was just that their heart ached for their son. Although this was what their son deserved, he still felt sad for his son. His son wasn’t ill-natured; he was just a little extreme.

Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and approached the boy. She placed Rainy down before squatting down in front of him. “Thank you.” Although she didn’t know how he had helped her, she really had to thank him for his help.

“Little brother, did you really come to help Mommy?” Rainy’s small hang tugged at the boy’s clothes. The men standing next to the boy frantically took a step forward. Everybody knew that their little prince had a weird temper; he hated people to touch him. He hated it to death.

It was just that this time, they were wrong. The boy gave them a warning glare. Although he was young, he already had the qualities befitting that of a leader.

“I did help you. Therefore, you must also remember your promise to me.” The boy reached out his hands and gently placed them on Rainy’s face. It was a strange feeling, different from others. He didn’t like other people touching him, but with this girl, he was willing.

“Remember, my name is Jun Yi. Don’t forget what you’ve promised me.” The boy retracted his hand then walked out of the courtroom. Behind him were the four burly men who followed him around, looking almost like his bodyguards.

Xia Ruoxin looked strangely at her daughter and pulled her face over. This little fella actually sold her mother and herself away, and now, they had suddenly become foreigners.

“Rainy, what was your promise to him?” She placed her hands on her daughter’s tender face. Rainy simply blinked her eyes. “I forgot about it already.” She tilted her head to the side. She didn’t remember making a promise with that little brother.
