Chapter 359: Chapter 359: I Can Die in Peace Just by Seeing Her Happy

"Are you really not going to make a fuss?" Si Chenli looked down at his daughter who only came up to his thigh, a slight frown between his brows, and for the first time felt that being too well-behaved might not be a good thing.

Before he could get his daughter’s reply, suddenly a man’s voice came from behind.

"If she does make a fuss, my staff can help you take care of her for a while."

"Uncle Lin!" Si Tiantian’s eyes widened with surprise at seeing the newcomer, having not expected to see him here. Hadn’t it been said that Uncle Lin was almost always too busy to rest?

"Tiantian." Shangguan Lin walked over swiftly and picked her up.

Si Chenli watched the man standing opposite him, his dark eyes deep, "And you are?"

"Hello, I am the representative sent by Shangguan Group to talk, my parents are old and have trouble moving, not easy to travel."

After catching up with Tiantian, Shangguan Lin put her down and extended his hand to Si Chenli.

"Daddy, this Uncle Lin is a friend of Mom’s!" Si Tiantian beamed, not daring to mention the prior incident involving her, her mother, and this uncle.

She felt if she dared to say it, her dad would definitely not let her off the hook!

"Hello." Si Chenli extended his hand to shake the other’s, his gaze on this unfamiliar man scrutinizing.

"Mr. Shangguan, Mr. Si is this way, please; the guest room is ready." The assistant stood respectfully beside them, pointing the way.

Now that they were all in front of him, Tiantian no longer fussed, and Si Chenli had no reason to leave at this time, he could only follow them back.

His large hand pulled out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Tiantian next to him, "Call your mom and tell her we have a last-minute matter and will pick her up later."

"Okay." Si Tiantian nodded obediently, holding the phone outside the door, not following them inside.

She knew she wouldn’t understand the topics the adults were discussing and didn’t want to disturb.

Si Tiantian knew how to dial a number; she even knew her mother’s number by heart.

After she dialed, the call was quickly answered, "Mom, we will be late in coming over, Dad is talking with Uncle Lin about work."

"Okay, why were you fussing about finding me just now?" Sang Qiao’s voice soon came from the other side of the screen.

"I wasn’t fussing; I just wanted Dad to agree to let the aunties tell me the story from yesterday, but Dad would rather not work and take me to find you."

Si Tiantian’s voice gradually softened towards the end, the first time she had caused trouble.

"Tiantian, your Dad was worried you’d still be scared at night after hearing the story, he is looking out for you, understand? Even though he appears cold, he agreed immediately when you said you wanted to see me. In the future, can you be nicer to your Dad?"

Sang Qiao spoke these heartfelt words, not wanting her daughter to misunderstand because of Ah Li’s inability to express himself.

"I understand, I won’t make a fuss next time, I’ll just tell Dad that if I’m scared at night after the story, I can sleep with Mom."

Si Tiantian nodded, seemingly comprehending, thinking to herself to be nicer to her dad in the future!

"Mhm, then be good and wait there. After he finishes his work, you can come over, and we will go home together, okay?"

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Si Tiantian held the phone in her hands, quietly waiting outside.

After the assistant had served tea to the people inside, he came out to see the little miss, "Tiantian, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"I’m good waiting here," Si Tiantian shook her head, leaning against the wall.

"Then I’ll bring you a stool."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Too polite," the assistant said and quickly turned to go inside, returning with a small stool.

Si Tiantian sat at the door, waiting patiently and never seeming to mind the wait. The assistant watching over her felt that this child’s sensible and well-behaved manner was almost unbelievable—it was as if she were tricking him into having a daughter!

After a while, Si Chenli’s conversation with Shangguan Lin finally ended, and the two of them came out of the reception room one after the other.

"Let’s go."

"Okay, bye Uncle L!" Si Tiantian didn’t forget to wave goodbye to Shangguan Lin before leaving.

Although she used to really like Uncle Shangguan Lin and even thought about him becoming her dad because of what people around her suggested, that was in the past. Now, she had a dad, so Uncle Lin could only be Uncle Lin.

"Okay, bye," Shangguan Lin stood still, watching the figures of the tall and the small walking away.

He might as well give up. Si Chenli was still alive, even if with someone else’s face, Sang Qiao could still accept him.

"Master, should we go back now?" Shangguan Lin’s assistant, noticing his master’s long silence, couldn’t help but remind him.

"No rush, let us see where they are headed first." It was only then that Shangguan Lin snapped back to reality. He started to walk outside, their vehicle parked right at the door.

"Okay." The assistant quickly got the hint and followed him out.

By the time Si Chenli and Si Tiantian arrived, it was also Sang Qiao’s time off work, and she walked with them, one on each side.

"Mommy, I was especially good today." Si Tiantian held her mother’s hand, eager to speak, not like the mischievous girl her dad described over the phone today!

"I know," Sang Qiao chuckled, sensing that Tiantian’s words were likely for Chenli’s benefit.

"She was really making a fuss earlier about finding you," Si Chenli’s expression flickered awkwardly.

"I believe it." Sang Qiao nodded lightly, playing along—neither the big nor the small one was easy to offend.

The scene of the three of them talking and laughing as they got into the car caught the full attention of the man in the vehicle behind them.

Shangguan Lin slowly reduced the speed of his vehicle, watching their backs and smiles more clearly. Although he couldn’t hear their conversation, he knew Qiaoqiao must be very happy.

At least such a smile was something he had never seen before.

He should really let go now. Si Chenli was still alive, and they even had a daughter.

"Let’s go back."

"Okay." The assistant at the driver’s seat immediately started the vehicle, noticing the melancholy on his master’s face.

"I won’t come here anymore," Shangguan Lin said, staring out the window. It’s uncertain whom he was addressing.

The assistant instinctively responded, "Master, you’ll meet someone more suitable."

"I won’t." Shangguan Lin smiled, fully aware that he no longer had the capacity to deeply love someone else.

Compared to his own brother, he still lived too cautiously, not daring to be brave.

Since he could remember, underneath the harmony of his family was the neglect towards him. His parents learned their lesson from him and devoted themselves entirely to raising his younger brother.

"Master, don’t be too sad." The assistant, a single himself, found it particularly awkward to console someone heartbroken over love.

He was still more accustomed to the master who seemed indifferent to everything except work.
