Chapter 154 I am your father

Chapter 154 I am your father

"ah--"

A cry comparable to a dolphin's shriek rang out, and Xiao Anning pointed at Fu Siyan, exclaiming, "You weird uncle!"

Fu Siyan paused and looked at Xiao Anning.

A moment of hesitation crossed his handsome face.

Xiao Anning immediately turned around and ran to Wen Jingxi, opening her arms wide, "Godfather, hug me!"

Wen Jingxi smiled and hugged Xiao Anning in his arms.

Sitting on Wen Jingxi's lap, Xiao Anning felt empowered and glared at Fu Siyan with a furrowed brow. "You despicable child trafficker! How dare you sneak into someone's house to steal a child!"

Fu Siyan: "..."

Xiao Anning turned to Wen Jingxi and said, "Godfather, quickly call the police to arrest him!"

"Don't be afraid, little Anning!" Wen Jingxi suppressed a laugh, glancing at Fu Siyan with extreme pride. "With your godfather around, no one can steal you away!"

Fu Siyan's dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Anning, his thin lips were pursed, and he showed no emotion on his face. He didn't even glance at Wen Jingxi.

What's the difference between this and human-machine interaction?

Wen Jingxi rolled his eyes. What bad luck!

Xiao Nian'an was left standing there by Xiao Anning, looking dazed and somewhat at a loss.

He slightly raised his chin, glanced at Fu Siyan, then looked back at Xiao Anning, and finally obediently walked up to Feng Yuncheng.

He raised his hand and reached out to hug Feng Yuncheng.

Feng Yuncheng smiled, picked up his son, and placed him on his lap.

Xiao Nian sat quietly in Feng Yuncheng's arms, her dark eyes fixed on Fu Siyan.

Feng Yuncheng patted Xiao Nian'an's head and said, "Nian'an, this is Daddy's friend. Come on, call him Uncle Fu."

Xiao Nian'an stared at Fu Siyan, her lips pursed, and remained silent.

Feng Yuncheng looked at Fu Siyan and said, "Mr. Fu, please don't take offense. My son has a bit of autistic tendencies."

Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan glanced at Feng Yuncheng indifferently, then turned his gaze to Xiao Nian'an's face.

With just a brief glance, Fu Siyan looked away.

Feng Yuncheng took in his reaction, his deep eyes darkening.

Fu Siyan turned his gaze to Jiang Wenjin sitting to the side, and smiled faintly, "Teacher Jiang, thank you and Teacher Bai for taking care of my wife and daughter these past four years."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Jiang Wenjin and his wife exchanged a glance, their expressions complex.

Four years ago, the couple, together with Mr. Cheng, staged a grand performance for Fu Siyan.

Now that the truth has come to light, given Fu Siyan's personality, he will certainly not let this go easily.

Fu Siyan's uninvited arrival today, seemingly a passive act, is actually a threat.

He's obviously after Xiao Anning!

At this moment, Shao Qing walked in from outside, carrying a pile of things.

He looked at Shen Qingshu and nodded slightly, "Miss Shen, these are all things that Young Master Fu bought for his little daughter, including clothes, toys, snacks, and nutritional supplements."

Shen Qingshu was unmoved and said coldly, "Xiao Anning doesn't need these. Take them back."

Upon hearing this, Shao Qing felt somewhat embarrassed and turned to look at Fu Siyan.

“Shen Qingshu, this is what I bought for my daughter.” Fu Siyan looked at Shen Qingshu, his tone forceful.

Shen Qingshu frowned, stood up and tried to shoo him away, but Bai Jianwen quickly grabbed her.

“Ah Shu, it’s rare for Attorney Fu and Mr. Feng to come see Lao Jiang. The three of them will probably be drinking tonight. There aren’t enough ingredients in the refrigerator. Why don’t you come with me to buy some groceries?”

As Bai Jianwen spoke, she pulled Shen Qingshu out the door.

Jiang Wenjin pursed her lips and sighed.

It's best not to make things too ugly in front of the children.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that Fu Siyan is Xiao Anning's biological father.

Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu are not divorced yet, and if Fu Siyan wants to see the child, they have no reason to refuse.

"Attorney Fu, please sit down and have a cup of tea," Jiang Wenjin invited.

Fu Siyan nodded slightly and walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down.

Wen Jingxi sat down next to her, holding Xiao Anning in his arms.

Feng Yuncheng sat next to Wen Jingxi.

With two grown men each holding a child, Fu Siyan looked like a lonely bachelor.

Jiang Wenjin brewed a cup of tea, used tea tweezers to hold the teacup, and handed it to Fu Siyan.

Fu Siyan tapped the table with his long, slender fingers, then turned to look at Shao Qing.

Shao Qing immediately handed him one of the bags.

Fu Siyan took the bag and took out the limited edition Elsa figurine from it.

As soon as Elsa appeared, Xiao Anning's eyes lit up.

Fu Siyan handed the Elsa figurine to Xiao Anning, saying, "This is for you."

A very awkward way of trying to please.

Feng Yuncheng frowned upon seeing this, and patted Nian An Yuanyuan's head.

Wen Jingxi felt even more at ease.

His little Anning isn't so easily bought off!

Xiao Anning now knows from the adults' reactions that this handsome, strange uncle is not a bad person, but to Xiao Anning, the strange uncle is just a stranger she has met twice.

She really liked Elsa figurines, but she didn't forget her mother's teachings.

"Thank you, Uncle, but I don't want it." Xiao Anning looked at Fu Siyan with a serious expression on her chubby face. "My mom said I shouldn't accept things from strangers."

“I’m not a stranger.” Fu Siyan looked at his daughter, his voice gentle. “I’m your father.”

Xiao Anning: "??"

Wen Jingxi rolled his eyes.

Little Anning doesn't lack a dad!

“Xiao Anning, I am your father.” Seeing that Xiao Anning did not react for a long time, Fu Siyan emphasized again, “My biological father, not the kind of godfather who is recognized verbally.”

Wen Jingxi: "..." Who are you implying something to?

"Huh?" Xiao Anning finally realized what was happening, blinked, and then frowned. "That's not right. My mom said my dad died a long time ago."

Fu Siyan smiled slightly, not angry at all, and patiently explained, "Your mother and I had some misunderstandings before, and we have been living separately for the past few years. Moreover, I only recently learned about your existence."

Wen Jingxi laughed when he heard this.

"Fu Siyan, it's been four years, and your skin has gotten thicker and thicker."

Fu Siyan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

Little Anning frowned, her beautiful eyes, just like her mother's, sparkling as she stared intently at Fu Siyan.

She's young, not stupid.

Although she didn't understand the grudges and conflicts between adults, she knew that her mother didn't like her "father," and her godfather and maternal grandparents also seemed to be very dissatisfied with her as their "father."

Xiao Anning's eyes darted around, and finally glanced at the figurine in Fu Siyan's hand before firmly shaking her head.

"Even if you are my father, I cannot accept this gift."

Fu Siyan was taken aback.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Why?"

"He who takes a gift is bound to be obligated to give it to him!" Little Anning stretched out Erkang's hand, shook her head in a serious manner, sighed, and said calmly, "You're giving me a gift because you're trying to bribe me, but I don't want it!"

Fu Siyan: "..."

Feng Yuncheng, who was watching the show from the sidelines, burst out laughing.

Wen Jingxi smiled and patted Xiao Anning's head with great satisfaction, "Our daughter is amazing! If you keep this clear head, those scumbags will never be able to fool us again!"

"Xiao Wen," Jiang Wenjin scolded, "Don't say these things in front of the child. Xiao Anning is only four years old!"

Wen Jingxi shrugged. "You have to instill anti-fraud awareness in your daughter from a young age, otherwise it will be too late when she grows up. Look at A-Shu..."

As he spoke, Wen Jingxi glanced at Fu Siyan with disdain, shook his head and sighed, "What a tragedy!"

Jiang Wenjin: "..."

Feng Yuncheng leaned back on the sofa, his eyes narrowing with laughter.

This was the first time Xiao Nian'an had seen her father so happy. She blinked her big, dark eyes and then grinned foolishly.

"Eek!" Little Anning pointed at Little Nian'an with delight, "He smiled! Little Nian'an's smile is so cute~"

Xiao Anning's attention was instantly drawn to Xiao Nian'an.

She ignored Fu Siyan and pulled Xiao Nian'an to play with toys in the children's area behind the sofa.

"Xiao Nian'an, smile again, and if you smile, I'll give you this toy too, okay?"

Xiao Nian'an: "Okay!"

"Oh my, your smile is so cute! Oh, I wish you could be in the same kindergarten as me, none of the boys in my kindergarten are as good-looking as you!"

Xiao Nian'an: "Beautiful!"

The adults could understand what was going on back and forth.

Xiao Anning was deliberately guiding Xiao Nian'an to speak.

With his daughter's sweet, innocent voice echoing in his ears, Fu Siyan stared at the Elsa figurine in his hand, his eyes dark and unsettling.

…

The fresh food supermarket is just a few hundred meters away from my home.

Shen Qingshu felt irritable at the thought of Fu Siyan still being at home.

Bai Jianwen reassured her, "Don't worry, Xiao Wen and your godfather are here. Do you think Fu Siyan would really take Xiao Anning away?"

"I'm afraid he'll say the wrong thing to Xiao Anning."

"That little girl is very clever. Don't worry, Fu Siyan can't handle her."

Bai Jianwen sighed softly, "I dragged you out because I was afraid you two would start arguing in front of Xiao Anning."

“I know your intentions,” Shen Qingshu said. “But the trial is in two days, and Fu Siyan’s visit at this time is clearly aimed at Xiao Anning.”

“Ah Shu, I know you want to get rid of Fu Siyan as soon as possible, but he is still Xiao Anning’s biological father. Even if you are divorced, he still has the right to see the child. You need to understand this and accept this fact as soon as possible.”

Shen Qingshu pursed her lips.

She actually understood everything.

She also knew that even if she and Fu Siyan divorced, she couldn't forcibly stop Xiao Anning from acknowledging Fu Siyan as her father in the future.

Blood relatives are inseparable.

She wasn't unable to accept this fact, but rather she was afraid.

She feared that Fu Siyan would use Xiao Anning to continue pestering her and preventing a divorce...

"You..."

Bai Jianwen saw through Shen Qingshu's thoughts and asked in a low voice, "Are you in such a hurry to get a divorce because you're eager to find someone else?"

Shen Qingshu was taken aback, then shook her head. "I don't have that idea. I just want to break things off with Fu Siyan as soon as possible and live our own lives with Xiao Anning."

"Since you're not in a rush to remarry, this makes things even simpler!"

Bai Jianwen laughed and said, "It would be best if we could get a divorce, but if we can't, then we can just stay separated and wait it out! Besides, even if we don't get a divorce, our little Anning is still the Fu family's little princess. And thinking further ahead, when Fu Siyan dies, little Anning can rightfully inherit Fu Siyan's property!"

Chen Qingshu was taken aback.

“I’m not encouraging you not to get a divorce, but I also know that even with Mr. Cheng’s help now, if Fu Siyan insists on not getting a divorce, this lawsuit could take a long time. You can’t keep letting him affect you, can you?”

Chen Qingshu paused, her tightly furrowed brows relaxing.

Seeing her like this, Bai Jianwen smiled with relief, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay!" Shen Qingshu looked at her and smiled, "Godmother, thank you, I know what to do."

"It's good that you understand." Bai Jianwen took her hand and said with emotion, "We women must learn to be self-consistent. Inner independence and strength are our best weapons."

…

With Bai Jianwen's guidance, Shen Qingshu calmed down considerably.

After returning home, she stopped worrying about whether Fu Siyan had told her daughter about his identity.

She only focused on her daughter's emotions.

Seeing that her daughter was still having a carefree and happy time, Shen Qingshu felt relieved and turned to go into the kitchen to help Bai Jianwen cook.

Dinner was ready, and Bai Jianwen invited everyone to eat.

At the dinner table, all four men drank alcohol.

Wen Jingxi had the lowest alcohol tolerance; he rarely drank, so he only needed one cup of baijiu to feel dizzy. Bai Jianwen and Shen Qingshu helped him back to his room to rest.

When she and Bai Jianwen came downstairs, Jiang Wenjin also collapsed.

Bai Jianwen scolded him for being old but not admitting he was old and arguing with young people!

Shen Qingshu and Bai Jianwen helped Jiang Wenjin back to her room.

Jiang Wenjin was very drunk, and Bai Jianwen stayed in the room to watch over him.

When Shen Qingshu came downstairs again, only Fu Siyan and Feng Yuncheng remained at the dining table.

Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an were playing in the living room, and Zhang Yun was watching over them.

Seeing her come down, Zhang Yun got up and walked over, lowering her voice to say, "My boss and that lawyer Fu can really drink. If they keep drinking like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu looked towards the dining table.

Fu Siyan and Feng Yuncheng sat facing each other, both flushed from drinking, but their posture remained as steady as an old dog.
