Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 388 Even if we divorce, Dad is still my support

Ning Yao's eyes welled up with tears, a hint of soreness in them, and a faint glimmer of moisture appeared in her eyes.

Si Longshen just said the word "father" in a hoarse voice. He claimed to be her father and said he would protect her for the rest of her life.

Ning Fengtai was not her biological father, and the so-called fatherly love he gave her was nothing more than a show.

Ning Yao only truly understood what it felt like to be loved by her father when she met Si Long Shen.

It turns out that when the simplest words come from the mouth of the closest person, even before anything has been done, Ning Yao's heart is warmed and filled with sweetness.

Her lower lip was pursed tightly, slightly upturned, forming a pitiful curve that evoked pity in people.

Ning Yao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but another hand beat her to it.

Wen Tingye's warm fingertips brushed across her eye sockets, wiping away the glistening tears.

Si Longshen also wanted to wipe away his daughter's tears, but he needed someone to help him walk. For him, it was a difficult task to bend over and reach out to wipe away tears, something that would be effortless for an ordinary person.

"Father-in-law, I'll protect her and wipe away her tears from now on. You can focus on recovering." Wen Tingye said this solemnly.

"What are you saying? I also need my father's love!" Ning Yao retorted, giving Wen Tingye a disgruntled look.

What is he saying? Can a husband replace the role of a father?

Furthermore, given Si Longshen's current condition, can't he be more careful with his words? What if he provokes him?

It's like a person who's lame, and then a perfectly healthy person jumps out and starts dancing in front of him, showing off like crazy.

If it were her, she would also be unhappy, especially thinking that her daughter would find a boyfriend and her son would find a girlfriend in the future.

Of course, mothers hope their children are healthy and have a good home to spend their lives with.

But she also worries that she will gradually lose her place in the children's hearts. Originally, the children could rely on her, but later they will have to rely on other people and start their own small families.

Ning Yao lost her mother much faster than other mothers, by more than a decade.

She already has four children who are around nineteen years old, and the age for marriage and starting a family is fast approaching...

As Ning Yao thought this, her anxiety intensified. She believed she could personally understand how Si Longshen was feeling right now.

Her eyes were filled with worry, but she saw a smile in the eyes of the person involved, showing no sign of anger, but rather a sense of relief.

“I’m so happy and content that you still acknowledge me as your father,” Si Longshen said, his tone filled with emotion.

"How could I not acknowledge you? What happened back then wasn't your fault; you were a victim too."

Ning Yao wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable. Perhaps she had harbored resentment before she knew the truth, but after learning the truth, she only felt sorry for Si Longshen and had no resentment whatsoever.

"Yaoyao, is Sisi your child with President Wen?" Si Longshen thought of his granddaughter, a particularly well-behaved and lovely girl with an introverted personality, much like her grandmother back then.

"You can just call me Tingye." When Wen Tingye heard Si Longshen address him as President Wen, he immediately straightened his back and became serious, showing respect for Si Longshen.

Si Longshen smiled and didn't take it to heart.

After he woke up, he did his homework and knew how fast Wen Tingye had developed over the years. He was worthy of being called President Wen.

When Ning Yao heard Si Longshen ask this question, she nodded to herself, and two unnatural blushes appeared on her cheeks.

She gave birth at the age of eighteen, which is considered a mistake by most parents and elders; she was far too precocious.

Moreover, she was afraid that Si Longshen would have a negative opinion of Wen Tingye because of this, and that he was wrong for not being able to control himself.

Ning Yao hurriedly explained, "Back then, it was my own carelessness that led me to be tricked by bad people, which is why I ended up with Wen Tingye. It has nothing to do with him..."

Upon hearing Ning Yao's words, Wen Tingye's smile widened.

This woman acted reserved in front of him, but in reality, Ning Yao would still side with him if anything happened.

Seeing Ning Yao's hasty attempt to exonerate Wen Tingye, Si Longshen gained a deeper understanding of his daughter's feelings.

It seems his precious daughter really likes Wen Tingye...

Even if Wen Tingye's status and position were not a perfect match for Si Longshen's daughter, as long as Ning Yao liked him, Si Longshen would not care about his son-in-law's family background.

He didn't really need the other party to have much power or background; his own background in the Simen sect was enough for his daughter to rely on for a lifetime.

"Father-in-law, I will take full responsibility for Ning Yao, love her, cherish her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." Wen Tingye made a promise to Si Longshen, holding up three fingers, straightening his shoulders, and making a vow gesture.

Ning Yao was a little unaccustomed to Wen Tingye's sudden declaration of loyalty, and a sentence naturally came to mind.

Most oaths made by men are insincere or impulsive; men change after marriage.

She didn't dare to trust Wen Tingye too much. No one could predict the future. As long as they liked each other now, that was enough.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you get divorced in the future, I will still be Yao Yao's support."

Si Longshen's mind was entirely focused on his newly reunited daughter. At this moment, he looked at Ning Yao with affection, unaware that Wen Tingye's face darkened immediately after he said those words.

Wen Tingye still respected Si Longshen, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the dangerous glint in them, and suppressed his displeasure.

If someone else had said something as unlucky as him and Ning Yao getting a divorce or separating, he would have made that person go to the hospital.

"Find some time to go back to China as soon as possible. You all have your own careers to take care of. After I recover, I will visit you in China."

"Yaoyao, don't worry about me. Ruonan and Ayue are here, they will help me handle the matters of the Simen."

Si Longshen was reluctant to let Ning Yao leave his side, but he was an old man and so ill that he didn't want to be a burden to his child.

If the child stays here, and I put everything aside to be by his side, he will feel guilty and uneasy.

With something weighing on her mind, she couldn't focus on recovering. Ning Yao staying at the Simen was not a good thing for either her or herself.

Seeing that Si Longshen was adamant, Ning Yao did not press the matter further.

Father and daughter are of one mind; she knows what Si Longshen is worried about.

Ning Yao decided to follow her father's wishes and immediately said with a smile, "Once I've settled in, I'll bring the children to see you whenever I have time. Please take good care of yourself, listen to the doctor's advice, and it would be best if you could video chat with me often."

Seeing her father safe and sound in the video, and that his health was improving day by day, put Ning Yao at ease.

Seeing that Ning Yao had relented, Si Longshen felt much more at ease, and nodded with a smile, which was considered as agreeing with what Ning Yao had said.

The father and daughter, along with Wen Tingye, their future son-in-law who was not yet officially recognized, chatted in the room for a while. When the two young men saw that Si Longshen looked tired, they got up to say goodbye, giving him plenty of time to rest.
