Chapter 155 Severing the Father-Son Relationship!

In simpler terms, the older generation worked themselves to the bone just so that their descendants could avoid some of the pitfalls.

Can you be a little more comfortable and at ease?

Why should an outsider get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, even though their own son didn't?

After a moment of surprise, Yan Liti said in a calm tone, "Well, you're all grown up now. You can make your own decisions. I won't interfere."

Let's cut ties then.

In any case, over the years, it hasn't made much difference whether Shen Tuo, the father, has him or not.

When Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan spoke in hushed tones, the rest of the Qiao family couldn't hear them, but Qiao Qiao heard every single word they said.

From their conversation, we can deduce who the old man Yan Liti was talking about was.

Qiao Qiao felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

On the one hand, she knew that Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti both liked her very much, and she had no doubt about their love for her now.

On the other hand...

She was shocked that Shen Qingyan would go to such lengths for her.

For her sake, he was even willing to sever his father-son relationship!

As someone who considers her father the most important person in her life, she found it hard to believe that he could go to such lengths.

Looking again at the tooth mark she had bitten on the other person's chin, she felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.

She seems to be very mean to this father.

As long as he doesn't force her to leave the Qiao family, he's actually a really good father.

The events of my previous life were all done by that scoundrel Shen Qingrong, and had nothing to do with my biological father.

She shouldn't have been so mean to him.

Having figured all this out, Qiao Qiao wiggled her little bottom on Qiao Changdong's knees.

Qiao Changdong held her in one arm and skillfully picked up food with the other, occasionally putting some of Qiao Qiao's favorite dishes into her small bowl.

Seeing that she put down the little spoon and wiggled her little bottom, I looked down at her and asked, "What's wrong, sweetie?"

As soon as Qiao Changdong spoke, everyone else at the table looked over, including Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan, who had been speaking in hushed tones.

“What’s wrong, baby? Is it because you don’t like these dishes? Grandma will ask the waiter to make you something else…” Yan Liti immediately tilted her head and asked.

Qiao Qiao shook her head, climbed off Qiao Changdong's lap, and walked towards Shen Qingyan amidst everyone's puzzled gazes.

To accommodate Qiao Qiao's meal, Qiao Changdong sat to his right with Qiao Xiaoyun and to his left with Yan Liti. Next to Yan Liti, near the door, sat Shen Qingyan.

Qiao Qiao passed through Yan Liti and came to stand in front of Shen Qingyan.

She reached out her hand to him.

Shen Qingyan is very tall, and Qiao Changdong is over 1.8 meters tall, to be precise, about 1.85 meters.

However, Shen Qingyan is half a head taller than Qiao Changdong, and his height is at least 1.95 meters, possibly even 2 meters.

At that height, even sitting down would be a small hill that would be difficult for three-and-a-half-year-old Qiao Qiao to climb.

It was even harder for her to climb onto his knees than to climb onto Qiao Changdong's knees.

So she stretched out her two little arms to the person and asked matter-of-factly, "Carry me up."

Carry me up.

Just four simple words.

This caused Shen Qingyan to freeze in his seat.

He looked incredulously at the little one standing in front of him, asking him to hold her.

She was so small, with snow-white skin, so tender and delicate that she was even softer than a freshly baked glutinous rice ball, making his heart tremble.

He could hardly believe that she would actually walk up to him and ask him to hug her.

Just before, when he hugged her, she resisted so much that she bit him with her teeth.

The force with which she bit was comparable to that of her mother.

Why are you suddenly asking me to hug you?

Shen Qingyan was stunned by this sudden and huge surprise, and didn't react for a long time.

Yan Liti, watching from the side, felt both jealous and angry. The little baby had never asked her to hold him before!

Previously at the hospital, she quietly picked him up without anyone noticing, using some random excuse.

Why is it that this blockhead gets the baby's first hug?

"Shen Qingyan, are you crazy? Hurry up and pick me up! My arms are getting sore!" she grumbled sourly.

Shen Qingyan then seemed to wake from a dream, bent down, reached out, and carefully picked up the person as if handling a fragile treasure.

He had never held a child before, and now, suddenly, he was holding such a delicate little body. He pinched the child's armpits and felt more helpless than if he were holding a cannonball.

For a moment, I didn't know where to put her.

Is it placed on the knees, like Qiao Changdong did?

But what if his knees are too stiff? Back then, Xiao Jun said his whole body was as stiff as a rock.

Won't this rub against her little bottom?

Or should I lean against her?

But unlike Qiao Changdong, he didn't wear a warm military overcoat. Instead, he wore the most ordinary military uniform. Wasn't he too cold?

Will the cold air make her feel uncomfortable?

The new dad was at a loss, holding his little girl by her armpits, unable to put her down for a long time, just hanging there in mid-air, and began to think.

"..." Qiao Qiao.

He kicked his short legs, which were dangling in the air.

Fortunately, she was wearing many clothes, so being pinched in her armpits didn't make her feel uncomfortable, except for a little strangeness.

"..." Yan Liti.

She was so angry she laughed.

"Put her on your lap and hold her properly. Don't support her like that, she'll be uncomfortable!"

You even have to teach this? No wonder your wife ran away!

"If you can't, I'll carry you!"

Shen Qingyan then realized what was happening and quickly placed the person on his lap, encircling her small back with a large hand and carefully supporting her.

I dared not exert too much force, nor dared I relax too much.

My whole body was extremely tense.

Even Qiao Qiao could feel that his body was as tense as a big rock.

"Lower your head." She shifted her little bottom on her own, found a relatively comfortable position, and then reached out to the person.

Shen Qingyan was puzzled, but still stiffly lowered her head towards the person.

Qiao Qiao placed her small hand on his chin.

Warm, smooth little hands, soft as if boneless, landed on his chin, and Shen Qingyan almost stopped breathing.

While he was still wondering what the little figure was trying to do, he felt a cool sensation creep from the little figure's fingertips into his skin.

Then, everyone in the private room watched as the tooth mark on Shen Qingyan's chin disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow~ Baby, you're amazing!" Yan Liti exclaimed in surprise as she witnessed the teeth marks disappear.
