"What's up?"
"Um, well, maybe, I mean, I, you…"
Her stumbling words revealed the beautiful girl's inner conflict.
Li Zhi gently bit her lower lip. "Let's take it one step at a time. First, let's solve the custody issue."
Shen Yuan immediately sat up on the bed, looking at Li Zhi with a serious expression.
"I'm all ears."
Li Zhi nodded. "I've now also adopted San Geng! That means I'm San Geng's mom, too!"
Shen Yuan tilted his head. ?
The beautiful girl continued, "You've always been raising them, so you're also Naonao's dad!"
Shen Yuan's brow furrowed. ??
"So now, I'm both Naonao's mom and San Geng's mom, and you're both San Geng's dad and Naonao's dad."
"Then what does that make us?" Shen Yuan asked.
"It makes us their parents-in-name-only, from separate households, on a purely cat-parenting basis."
Shen Yuan blinked. ???
It was as if she had said something, yet said nothing at all.
Just then, Naonao meowed.
