a relative left. It's easy to imagine how much he hates the people who harmed his grandfather.”"I know, but...""There's no 'but', Madam. What Master did wasn't excessive, you should also understand..."A new relationship" Fu Xiaoyao was stunned by his question.

Shao Sinians nodded, "Yes, a new feeling!"

Although Fu Xiaoyao didn't know why he asked that, she still answered seriously, "No."

"Why" Shao Siniang was a bit flustered.

Fu Xiaoyao swayed the red wine glass in her hand, her voice drifting away: "I only want revenge now, who has the heart to think about these things"

"I know you want revenge, so I don't have the heart to talk about it now. What about later You will get your revenge someday. And after you get your revenge, won't you think about what comes next You are still young. You should find another man to accompany you. And Xiao Bao needs a father in his growth experience." Shao Si Nian held the wine glass tightly and looked at her hopefully.

Fu Xiaoyao suddenly understood the true meaning of what he had said tonight, and her expression changed slightly, "Si Nian, you wouldn't mean... you want to become that man, would you"

His thoughts were laid bare, Shao Sinian was flustered for a moment, but the next second, he regained his composure and generously admitted, "Yes, Xiaoyao, that's exactly what I mean. You... would you give me a chance"

His voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of nervousness and apprehension.

Fu Xiaoyao was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Shao Siniang to suddenly confess her feelings to her at all.

This is the second time!

Yes, the second time.

Five years ago, during her kidney transplant surgery, something happened that made her realize he had always harbored those feelings for her.

Then, at Xiao Bao's hundred-day celebration, he got drunk and confessed his feelings to her.

But the next day, when he woke up, he had forgotten everything. She was still struggling with how to refuse him, but when she learned that he had forgotten, she let out a sigh of relief. She didn't tell him about his confession, so to this day, he doesn't know that he confessed to her once.

And for the five years that followed, Shao Sian never again showed her that kind of affection. His words and actions towards her were just like those between friends, coming and going as they pleased. Over time, she thought he had stopped liking her, but she was wrong. His feelings for her had never dissipated; he just hid them very well.

But somehow, he confessed his feelings to her again tonight. Could it be because he had been drinking again

"Xiao Yao, you..." left Shao Si Nian's sentence hanging, plunging Xiao Yao into silence. Shao Si Nian felt a knot of unease and apprehension in his heart.

Fu Xiaoyao came back to her senses, her teeth lightly biting her lip, "Si Nian, my head is a little foggy, I..."

"I know!" Shao Sinian interrupted her, his handsome face slightly flushed. "I know that hearing this suddenly might be a huge shock to you, but Xiaoyao, I'm not joking, I'm serious. You may not know this, but actually, I had feelings for you six years ago."

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head.

No, she knows!

Shao Si Nian looked at her and said, "Six years ago, you were Lu Han Chuan's wife. Your eyes and heart only had Lu Han Chuan. And Lu Han Chuan was my friend, so even if I had feelings for you, I wouldn't express them, nor would I have the idea of taking you away from Lu Han Chuan. But now it's different."

Shao Siniang smiled, “Now you and Lu Hankan have nothing to do with each other. You said you don’t love him anymore, so I want to fight for myself. Maybe I suddenly saying this scared you, but Xiaoyao, I hope you can think about me carefully. I will treat you well, and I will treat Xiaobao as my own child. So Xiaoyao, give me a chance, okay”

Hearing his heartfelt confession, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel touched.

But it was just moved, without being motivated.

Because she was very clear that she truly only saw him as a friend, but didn't have those feelings for him.

She was destined to disappoint him.

Thinking this, Fu Xiaoyao tightened her palms, her heart already determined to politely refuse. Just as she was about to speak, Shao Sian made a gesture to stop her and spoke first: "Xiaoyao, I know saying these things makes you uncomfortable. You don't have to give me an answer right away. I hope you can take some time to think it over."

He could tell she had just wanted to refuse him.

But he didn't want her refusal, so he could only be selfish and shut her down.

Fu Xiaoyao also saw through his intentions, sighed inwardly, and reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "Okay..."

He didn't want to hear her refuse him this quickly.

Then she did as he wished.

But afterward, she would still refuse him.

"Thank you, it's almost time for me to go." Shaosi Nian stood up, his tall body swaying slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao stepped forward and supported him, "Are you drunk"

"No!" Shao Si Nian replied, his eyes slightly red.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, his eyes gradually becoming dazed, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes, "You said you didn't, I'll send you back."

"No, I can do it myself." Shao Sinian refused.

"Alright, still putting on a brave face You had some drinks, how are you even going to drive" Fu Xiaoyao helped him towards the sofa while making a phone call to arrange for a driver from the hotel.

Soon, in less than ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

Fu Xiaoyao knew the driver arranged by the hotel had arrived. She bent down to help Shao Sian up from the sofa and supported him toward the door.

When I opened the door, there was indeed a man in a hotel security uniform standing outside.

Fu Xiaoyao handed Shao Si Nian over to him, "Please send him back. Here's the address."

Fu Xiaoyao typed an address into her phone and showed it to the driver.

The driver nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get this gentleman to his destination safely."

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoyao smiled and nodded.

Shao Si Nian helped Shao Si Nian walk.

Fu Xiaoyao watched them enter the elevator before turning back to their suite.

Back in her room, she saw the table piled with dishes but had no motivation to clean up. Her mind was consumed by Shao Sini's confession and his words about Xiao Bao needing a father on his journey of growth.

These words left her heart restless for a long time.

Indeed, for a child, the mother is an indispensable role, but equally so is the father.

Especially for a boy, the role of a father is even more important. He can be a goal on the child's path of growth, a role model for learning, and even a guide through life. Because of personality barriers, many educations that mothers cannot teach their children, fathers can.

She knew Xiaobao didn't like Lu Hanchuan and didn't react much to him as her biological father, so she always thought Xiaobao didn't need a dad. However, she had never considered things from Xiaobao's perspective, wondering if he actually needed a father. After all, liking someone is one thing, but needing someone is another.

Also, Xiao Bao is still young. Even if he's precocious, he can't fully understand the importance of his father. But as Xiao Bao grows older, he will likely start to wonder if it really doesn't matter whether or not he has a dad

What if he wanted his father at that time Seeing other children have fathers, but he doesn't, wouldn't he feel anything else in his heart Wouldn't he be ashamed

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao felt a tightness in her chest. She closed her eyes and walked towards Xiao Bao's room.

Gently pushing open the room door, Fu Xiaoyao saw Xiaobao sitting on the carpet playing with a jigsaw puzzle. He was holding onto his magic cube tightly, but it had been thrown aside.

It seems like I'm getting bored with this, time to buy a new one. A harder one this time.

Because every time Xiao Bao doesn't play with the Rubik's Cube and throws it aside, it means that the current Rubik's Cube is no longer a challenge for him, he needs a new one. This is what Fu Xiaoyao has concluded in the past two years.

Silently remembering to buy a new Rubik's Cube, Fu Xiaoyao looked at Xiao Bao's small figure, "Xiao Bao, Mom is here."ng her inner turmoil.She didn't expect Tangshan to be so unpredictable. Qi Ya just called out a few times and was punished by his people, but this also made her understand that she must be more carefu...
