Chapter 21

Song Bojian's sudden seriousness made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little strange.

The noise made by the three people eating was not as loud as the little orange in the child seat.

Song Bojian quickly finished his meal and sat next to Xiaochengzi to feed him.

Little Chengzi's hands still had oil and water from the meal on them. He stretched out his little hand and poked Song Bojian's face.

She said in a baby voice, "Daddy is angry."

Song Bojian immediately answered him: "Dad is not angry."

Little Orange pointed at Song's mother again: "Grandma is angry."

Song Bojian used a bib to wipe the residue off Xiao Chengzi's face and comforted him softly, "Grandma isn't angry either."

"Grandma is just asking Dad why he wants to change your school. That's called negotiation."

Little Orange's cheeks were stuffed full and he didn't say a word.

Song Bojian fed him a few more bites, thinking that the matter was over.

Then Little Orange suddenly said, "Dad is lying. That's not right."

Song Bojian suddenly felt his face burning. Even a child could feel something, but he was still telling such a clumsy lie.

He quickly apologized to Xiao Chengzi: "Dad was wrong. Dad won't lie to you again."

Little Orange first squeaked a laugh, then pointed at Song's mother: "Grandma is not angry."

Song Bojian's eyes instantly turned red. The issues between him and his parents had to be resolved by his own daughter.

He never regretted having Xiaochengzi, but there were many times when he felt that he was not a qualified father.

Song's mother was also a little embarrassed. After exchanging a glance with Song's father, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Little Chengzi, eat your meal obediently. After dinner, grandma will take you out to play."

After lunch, Song Bojian let Xiaochengzi take a nap first and promised him that he would take him out to play when he woke up.

After coaxing little Chengzi to sleep, Song Bojian got up and left the room. Song's father was waiting for him outside the door.

He was stunned for a moment: "Dad? What's wrong?"

Father Song said seriously, "What do you think about going to New York?"

Song Bojian had never considered this possibility.

There was no way he could take Little Orange to New York.

All his business and everything he has are in China. It is impossible for him to take his children abroad and start from scratch.

"Your mother and I went to New York with no idea what we were doing. It took us many years of hard work to establish ourselves."

"No, it's different, Dad." Song Bojian retorted, "You already had careers in New York before I was born, but I grew up alone in China. You couldn't give up your careers for me, and you never considered how much I needed you."

"And if I really go to New York with you guys now, then I will really have nothing."

It is impossible for him to live off his parents with a clear conscience.

What's more, he has a daughter.

Father Song sighed, not knowing what else to say.

Song Bojian softened his tone and said, "How you want to live is your business. If you miss Xiao Chengzi, you can come back to China at any time, or I can bring him to New York to see you."

"You've grown up and have your own ideas. I'll follow your lead."

Song Bojian followed his father to the living room and saw his mother watching TV on the sofa.

He coughed lightly twice and said, "Little Orange's nap is for an hour and a half. If you're tired, you can take a nap first to avoid dozing off after you go out."

Only after the adults and children fell asleep did he start planning his route for the afternoon.

It's not snowing outside, but the temperature is still very low, and it's easy to catch a cold if you stay outdoors for a long time.

It’s just that the two elders just love to play outside. Song Bojian hesitated for a few seconds, then got up and found warmer clothes for himself and Xiao Chengzi.

In the riverside park, little Chengzi was running around on the lawn, making Song's father and mother laugh.

Song Bojian still felt awkward when interacting with the two elders, so he could only silently use his camera to record the heartwarming scenes between the grandfather and grandson.

Xiao Chengzi suddenly ran from Song's parents to Song Bojian, hugged him, and pointed in a direction: "Dad, Mengmeng."

Song Bojian looked over and saw Meng Meng being led by a man not far away.

Meng Xihan was not around, and that man was not Xu Qingyang.

But Meng Meng and that man are somewhat similar.

Song Bojian was confused. Didn’t Meng Xihan marry Xu Qingyang?

Or is Meng Meng the child of Meng Xihan and this man?

Meng Xihan cheated on her husband?
