Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Father-Daughter Reunion

To say a child "darkened his expression" always seems overly mature, but when Qiao Yu saw Wen Shaoyuan’s expression at that moment, the only word that came to his mind was indeed "unhappy" and "angry," his face changing almost instantly.

Before he even had a chance to ask what was wrong, Wen Shaoyuan had already stood up, grabbed Su Yimo’s hand, and headed towards the door. Qiao Yu, not understanding, could only stop them first:

"Everyone’s about to arrive, why do you want to leave now?"

"We’re not meeting anymore," Wen Shaoyuan said firmly.

Qiao Yu puzzled:

"Why?"

"Because Qiqi won’t recognize a father like that."

Su Yimo, listening by the side, was confused and had no idea what Wen Shaoyuan was talking about, but she trusted Wen Shaoyuan. So when Qiao Yu’s gaze landed on Su Yimo, hoping she would say something, Su Yimo instead leaned closer to Wen Shaoyuan:

"I’ll listen to Brother Yuan."

Qiao Yu felt that if he let the two return to the emergency department now, not to mention whether Jiang Bei would agree to let Fu Shinian meet the children, even Fu Shinian himself wouldn’t take such a risk to go to the emergency department, so this meeting could only end in failure.

He didn’t want to disappoint Fu Shinian and also wanted to give some time to their father-daughter relationship, so the most important thing right now was to find out why Wen Shaoyuan had suddenly made this decision.

Qiao Yu tried to take the mobile phone from Wen Shaoyuan’s hand, half expecting Wen Shaoyuan to resist, but he didn’t. He just let him take it so obediently. There was no screen lock on the phone, so as soon as Qiao Yu slid it open, he saw the news of Fu Shinian’s engagement being announced.

Since Fu Shinian had not appeared in public for two years, the news of the engagement immediately made headlines on major websites. Even Wen Shaoyuan’s phone got a notification, which was somewhat troublesome for him.

Why did it have to be now?

However, this also allowed Qiao Yu to see that Wen Shaoyuan genuinely cared for Su Yimo, and Su Yimo indeed depended on Wen Shaoyuan.

Just as he was unsure about how to solve this problem, there was a gentle knock from outside the door. Qiao Yu accidentally let out a sigh of relief, but he dared not let Fu Shinian in just like that, and could only negotiate with Wen Shaoyuan first:

"Shaoyuan, I believe that if you decided to take Qiqi to see her father today, it wasn’t what you wanted but what Qiqi wanted, to see her own father, right? Maybe you just saw some unpleasant things, but sometimes what we see might not be true. I think we should at least let Qiqi meet her father, and you can stand by. If you think he is in any way not good to Qiqi, you can take her away immediately."

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Yu said, "But you should also consider another scenario, that he is very good to Qiqi, wishes to give her all his love. If he is a good father, but you miss this opportunity because of a misunderstanding, letting Qiqi lose someone who loves her, wouldn’t you regret it?"

Wen Shaoyuan looked at Qiao Yu without speaking, but Qiao Yu already understood Wen Shaoyuan’s compromise, and he smiled faintly:

"He’s already here; I’ll let him in."

Wen Shaoyuan pulled Qiqi behind him, not opposing Qiao Yu’s action of opening the door.

The moment Qiao Yu opened the door and saw Fu Shinian, he could feel his nervousness. Having known him for 30 years, Qiao Yu had never seen such anxiety in Fu Shinian. He was very formal, dressed in a suit, complete with a tie.

Normally, Qiao Yu would have teased a Fu Shinian like this, but now he inexplicably felt sad, unable to bring himself to mock. He stood at the door and gently patted his shoulder:

"Come in."

Fu Shinian looked at him for a few seconds but eventually took a step forward.

In the office, Wen Shaoyuan stood upright, his whole body defensive as he watched Fu Shinian enter. After scanning the room, Fu Shinian’s gaze landed on the fluffy rabbit ear headband behind Wen Shaoyuan, and even though he couldn’t see the face, his heart melted completely.

Fu Shinian had heard the discussion between Qiao Yu and Wen Shaoyuan. Knowing that Wen Shaoyuan was guarded against him, he did not press anything. He walked towards Wen Shaoyuan but stopped a meter away and crouched down.

Given that Wen Shaoyuan was already quite tall, Fu Shinian had to look up at him when he crouched, which perhaps made Wen Shaoyuan feel that his opponent was no longer so imposing; looking down at Fu Shinian made him feel a certain sense of security, so his guard was slightly lowered.

Fu Shinian looked at him and smiled faintly,

"Can I see Qiqi?"

Wen Shaoyuan looked at him and asked,

"You know Qiqi?"

"Yes, I know her. I know her real name is Su Yimo, and her nickname is Qiqi." Fu Shinian spoke softly, fearing he might disturb the little bunny behind Wen Shaoyuan, "I spoke with her on the phone."

Upon hearing this, the little bunny peeked out from behind Wen Shaoyuan with big eyes, blinking at the man in front of her who should have been familiar yet felt strange. She asked quietly,

"Is it you?"

Fu Shinian smiled but had not yet replied when Wen Shaoyuan turned and frightened the little bunny back. Fu Shinian was somewhat disappointed but did not blame him. He looked at Wen Shaoyuan and asked,

"Qiao Yu said you were originally going to take Qiqi to the old house to find me, is that right?"

Wen Shaoyuan nodded in acknowledgment,

"If I had seen the news earlier, I wouldn’t have done that."

Indeed, if he had known he was going to meet Qiqi today, Fu Shinian would never have chosen this day to announce his engagement. But it was impossible to foresee everything happening right now.

"You were bringing Qiqi to find me because you knew I was Qiqi’s father, is that correct?"

"Not necessarily." Wen Shaoyuan said, "Initially, when Aunt Su was pregnant, you said that the child in her womb wasn’t yours. Today, I brought Qiqi here just to check, not to confirm that you are her father."

"I’m here now."

Wen Shaoyuan shook his head,

"But I don’t want to confirm it anymore since you are marrying another woman."

How should one explain the complexities of the adult world to a child, and even if a way was found, could a child truly understand? Fu Shinian felt that even if they could understand, he would never choose to tell; children’s worlds should be pure and pristine, and he could not let the dirtiness of the adult world taint their souls.

Upon hearing these words from Wen Shaoyuan, the little bunny once again peeked out from behind him. This time she did not dodge or ignore Wen Shaoyuan’s warning. She looked at Fu Shinian for a few seconds before walking past Wen Shaoyuan’s side and asked,

"Are you really my dad?"
