Su Niannian was not lying; from beginning to end, she never intended to ask Si Lijue or the Si family for any child support.

The money that Si Lijue's parents and sister secretly gave to Xibao was never touched by Xibao; it remained hidden in Xibao's pencil case.

She could raise Xibao to adulthood entirely on her own, and although life was somewhat impoverished, she was at peace with herself.

Furthermore, as the only daughter of the Su family, all of the Su family's future assets will be left to Xibao.

Xi Bao didn't feel too wronged living with her.

The mother and son relied on each other and lived a simple yet happy life.

Despite their limited material resources, their bond was incredibly strong.

Compared to those who are poor, starving, and cold, Xibao and her life is much happier.

Si Lijue tightened his grip, glaring angrily at the lying woman before him, and said through gritted teeth, "Su Niannian, you really have the guts to say that Xibao isn't my son."

"Do you want me to bring you a paternity test before you'll admit that Xibao is my son?"

He just had Lin Fei send his and Xiao Bao's hairs over for DNA testing, and the results will be available in about three hours at the earliest.

In fact, he has no evidence at all. He is only saying this to bluff the woman in front of him.

Su Niannian stared at Si Lijue in shock, her voice becoming shrill with anger, and the volume rising several decibels.

"Paternity test? When did you take Xibao for a paternity test? How come I didn't know?"

You...you actually took Xibao to do a paternity test without my consent as her mother.

"Si Lijue, you've really gone too far! Do you even know how to respect people?" By the end, her voice was almost a roar.

Si Lijue narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Su Niannian's cheeks, which were flushed red with anger. Instead of being angry, he felt inexplicably happy.

He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Su Niannian's face, and stared at her leisurely as he slowly spoke, "Su Niannian, why are you reacting so strongly? Could it be that you're feeling guilty and afraid I'll find out the truth that Xibao is my baby?"

This woman's attempt to conceal something is all too obvious.

If he had some doubts before, he is now 100% certain that Xibao is his biological child.

He was both excited and overjoyed to suddenly have such a grown son.

As Su Niannian gazed at the handsome face that kept getting bigger in front of her, her heart inexplicably raced, her breathing became rapid, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

This face had appeared in her dreams countless times, haunting her every thought.

Now, after five years of honing his skills, he is even more handsome and captivating than in my dreams.

She felt somewhat out of control, and a strong impulse was quietly growing in her heart.

She longed to reach out and pinch that face that fascinated her, to feel the texture beneath the skin, and to see if the delicate texture was even better than it was five years ago.

She was filled with anticipation, yet also a touch of shyness, like a young girl harboring a secret. She stared blankly at the man before her, pondering whether to take action, forgetting to answer his question.

Si Lijue looked at her infatuated, silly expression, a slight smile curving his lips, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Your drool is coming out."

Su Niannian snapped back to her senses instantly, and in her panic, she hurriedly reached out to wipe her mouth haphazardly, her movements appearing extremely flustered, like a startled fawn.

The man in front of her found her panicked appearance extremely amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He laughed and teased, "Looks like you're still up to no good and still harbor inappropriate thoughts about me."

Woman, what am I supposed to do with you?

Su Niannian felt his words were full of sarcasm, and a strange sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself not to let her emotions show, and stammered, "I...I didn't! You...you stay away from me."

Then, she silently lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes again, and kept cursing him as a monster in her heart.

Si Lijue watched as she deliberately avoided him, not daring to look him in the eye, looking like a guilty thief.

At the same time, I felt very unhappy when she told me to stay away from her.

He decisively reached out his large hand, forcefully lifted her chin, and forced her to look him in the eye.

He said in an unhappy tone, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I called you here today not to make you give up your desire for me, but to take back the humiliation you suffered five years ago."

Since this woman loves him so deeply, let her continue to love him!

Anyway, he won't lose out if another woman loves him.

Moreover, he didn't resent her loving him; in fact, knowing that she loved him deeply made him secretly pleased.

Thinking this, Si Lijue felt even more pleased, and he found Su Niannian much more agreeable.

What did he mean by that?

What do you mean by not wanting her to give up her feelings for him and wanting to avenge the humiliation from five years ago?

How exactly does he want to avenge the humiliation he suffered five years ago?

Could it be that he intends to kill her?

Su Niannian's mind went completely blank for a moment, she was totally bewildered and couldn't figure out what Si Lijue would do to her next.

She looked at the man in front of her with suspicion and fear, and asked cautiously, "You... how do you plan to avenge the humiliation from five years ago? You... you won't do anything drastic, will you?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Si Lijue's eyes as he coldly stared at Su Niannian and said, word by word, "What you did to me back then, I will now repay you tenfold, without exception."

Su Niannian's round almond-shaped eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

If he were to do to her exactly what she did five years ago, would he be trying to have sex with her again?

Five years ago, that night almost killed her. If he were to do the same thing to her now, she would be completely finished.

She looked at Si Lijue with a horrified expression, her eyes filled with despair, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't do anything rash. We can find another way to resolve this."

Actually, there's absolutely no need to repeat what happened five years ago. That would be a desecration of you and absolutely unfair!

Think about it! What happened five years ago still bothers you and you can't forget it.

It's like swallowing a fly—it makes you feel uncomfortable, disgusted, repulsed, or even hateful.

Now you want to eat it again? How could you possibly bring yourself to do it?

I'm doing this all for your sake, Mr. Si. You must stay calm and not let anger cloud your judgment.

Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!

Look how clever she is, deliberately belittling herself so that Si Lijue won't do anything foolish.

Logically speaking, Si Lijue should definitely think it over carefully, and maybe he will really give up the idea of ​​sleeping with her.
