Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Bizarre Request

"What did you say?" Qin Wenze thought he must have misheard.

Gao Lan stared him in the eye and repeated what she had just said.

"I want to adopt my nephew. The Qin family owes me a child. Since I can no longer have children, I can’t be left with no one to depend on."

Qin Wenze found it difficult to process the news.

He thought Gao Lan had gone mad.

So, he tried to reason with her. "Qin Yue and Qiaoqiao are the ones you can rely on—"

But Gao Lan was in no mood to listen.

"They’re the ones *you* can rely on, not me. No matter how good a stepmother I am, they will never truly be on my side. Besides, all I want now is a child who is related to me by blood."

Her older brother’s child was her biological nephew—that counted as a blood tie.

"Rest assured, if you agree to this, then I’ll drop the matter of Qin Yue running into me. From now on, I’ll treat both him and his sister as my own children."

Qin Wenze stared at her. It was a long moment before he finally spoke. "Gao Lan, no. I don’t agree—"

’I already have two children, why would I adopt another one?’

’And my brother-in-law’s son, no less.’

"If you don’t agree, then I don’t want to live anymore. Since I can’t have children, there’s no point in living anyway."

Gao Lan’s words made Qin Wenze’s expression turn thunderous.

He took a deep breath and then compromised, "If you really want to adopt a child, then let’s adopt someone else’s. But your brother’s child is out of the question."

Gao Lan stared at him in disbelief.

"Why not? Are you looking down on my brother?"

Qin Wenze frowned.
