Yan Xiaoran didn't expect this from him at all.

Alexander could tell her that the little girl could stay with them or find someone else to take care of her and Yan Xiaoran wouldn't even disagree with him.

Taking care of a child was difficult. Much harder than handling a business empire. At least, inside a company, you can use your employees to handle some things and even send them to approach potential business partners to attract them to partner with you.

However, a child was a difficult riddle that no one can handle just because you formulated a strategical move.

Their mood swings were like the weather; always changing and unpredictable. No one knew if they were to cry because they felt pain or hungry. You can't even tell if there's something wrong with them without help from a pediatrician.

Besides, she didn't see Alexander as someone who would willingly take in the child of a woman who made his wife's life miserable. He might even send the child back to the bottom of the world.

And yet, here he was…

Not only was he willing to let the little girl live with them.

He also volunteered to let the little girl use his last name.

"A-are you sure?"

Alexander simply nodded his head as if she was asking a random question.

Yan Xiaoran closed and opened her mouth. But in the end, she couldn't say a thing as she was rendered speechless at his decision.

"I know you want revenge on your mother and the Zhao family. And I also know that you will be successful in destroying them. But I know that you will never let an innocent child get involved in this event." He told her.

Alexander wasn't wrong to say this.

Yan Xiaoran certainly wanted to finish the Zhao family and never let them rise again by suppressing them with their own wrongdoings.

However, a child such as Zhao Yurong will never part of her revenge.

Just like the other innocent members of the Zhao family, Yan Xiaoran let them be and only implicated those who had dirty things smeared in their conscience. She wasn't that evil to include these innocent people as she knew that they did nothing wrong.

And as someone who was wrongly accused and innocent, Yan Xiaoran knew the feeling of being dragged to the ground.

"Thank you." She whispered.

Alexander shook his head and palmed her cheek, "We're married now. It's only natural for me to do this much."

Yan Xiaoran was really grateful that she met and married Alexander. Who and where would one find a man who could understand and go so far as to help her in any kind of help he could offer to the woman he loves?

"But can we really adopt her?" Asked Yan Xiaoran.

Alexander replied, "There will be a lot of paperwork that needs to be done. The government will also see if we're good enough to be parents to Little Koala. But don't worry, I can ask someone to make the process easier and faster."

Adopting a child was certainly not that easy. There were a lot of things a parent should go through before adopting a child.

Yan Xiaoran might be able to legally take the little girl since she's the sister but Alexander planned to adopt her so he could take the child as his own. That is why things could be a little bit tricky.

Wait…

Did he just call her…

"Little Koala?" She blinked her eyes at him.

"En." Alexander lightly squeezed the little girl's hand. "The way she's hugging you, she might as well just pass as a Koala from the zoo. Let's just call her Little Koala from now on."

"Uh… that's a little bit weird." No, that's definitely weird, thought Yan Xiaoran to herself.

Calling a child a Koala because of how adorable she was might be okay but changing her name into that was a bit too much.

But with the eagerness that Alexander had in his eyes, the words that she was supposed to say to change his thoughts disappeared.

Surrending under his bad naming skill, Yan Xiaoran finally nodded.

"Fine. Let's call her Little Koala." Weird as it might sound, Alexander's wish to use this name only proved that he really wanted the Little Koala to stay.

It wasn't only because he was being considerate of her feelings.

After talking about what they should do about Little Koala, Yan Xiaoran carried the child to the bed and started to imitate how mothers would carry their children to sleep.

She looked divine and beautiful as she continued to do this and it didn't take long for Little Koala to fall asleep in her arms.

Leaning against the doorframe, Alexander watched her as he never saw this side of Yan Xiaoran.

He expected her to feel and look awkward while handling the child but with how delicate she was holding Little Koala, it seems that she didn't need to pretend that she could become the mother of Little Koala.

With what she suffered when she was young, Yan Xiaoran should be someone who would be unsuitable to become a mother. She might even think that she was never destined to hold a child in fear of turning into someone like her mother.

This was also one of the reasons why Alexander didn't want to rush her to give birth to their child. Taking things slow for both of them would be best.

But it seems that the effect Little Koala had on her was great as she never looked so happy to have someone other than Alexander with her.

Closing the door behind him as Yan Xiaoran continued to carry the child, Alexander decided to call someone from his maternal family.

As soon as the call connected, a voice from the other side excitedly said, "Bro! You finally called!"

Alexander walked to the living room and said, "I need you to do something for me."
