This was the darkest day for the casinos owned by Si Yeguang.

Before Si Yeguang even stepped into the casino, his men, whom he had ordered in advance, had already swept through the casino at lightning speed, clearing out all the shady characters inside and throwing them into the back alley.

All the gambling tables had been wiped clean and arranged neatly. The casino, which had just been filled with tobacco and desire, was now brand new.

When Si Yeguang brought the cub in, the casino was playing with baby frogs.

As the background music started playing, the casino, which had once reaped wealth and power and devoured everyone, was transformed into an amusement park in the eyes of children.

Those who were already inside the casino all stood up and lined the entrance to greet them:

Good evening, Godfather.

Si Yeguang sat down with the child and ordered someone to cut some fruit for the cub. Under Si Qiannan's watchful eye, he fed the cub a little.

"Okay, your dad's here, so you'll have to control yourself and not eat whatever you want."

The cub looked at the tropical fruits it had never tasted before, then at its father. Seeing its pleading expression, Si Qiannan finally relented:

"You can only eat a little more."

The cub was finally happy. While chewing on fruit, his grandfather carried him to the gambling table to introduce him to the chips and cards.

"Sweetie, want to play for a bit?"

Si Yeguang asked casually.

The cub nodded vigorously; he was very interested in the colorful chips.

So Si Yeguang sat down at the table, encircled the child from behind, and held his little hand to shake the dice.

"Oh dear, baby's score is higher than grandpa's, baby wins."

Si Yeguang looked at the "eight" in front of him, then lowered his head and kissed the cub's forehead:

"This is the reward you gave them."

Si Yeguang turned to his subordinates behind him and said, "If today's interest has ballooned to eight percent, those who can't pay can pack up and prepare for liquidation."

The cub wanted to play on the slot machine next to it again, and Si Yeguang agreed. The cub shook it several times, but couldn't get three of the same pattern no matter what.

Si Yeguang looked at the pattern in front of the baby and said:

“There’s one difference: those who can’t pay the fine today will only have one hand or one leg broken. Today’s punishment is the lightest it’s been since my father-in-law took over. After they pay off their debts, remember to thank the young master.”

"The young master is doing good deeds and accumulating merit."

The silent subordinates had no objections. Even if Si Yeguang was just acting on a whim and set today's rules arbitrarily while spending time with his child, everyone still had to follow them.

Because Siye Guang was their king.

Half of the minions had left, but the cub, completely absorbed in its toys, didn't notice until someone came to the door.

"Si, my friend, it's been a long time since you've been here."

A foreign man of similar age to Si Yeguang strode in.

He owns a red-light district next to the casino.

He also had the same business as Si Yeguang. Although Si Yeguang didn't quite like his style of doing things, he still had to cooperate with him, so on the surface the two always addressed each other as brothers.

He approached Si Yeguang, but before he could even exchange a warm cheek kiss, he saw a beautifully sculpted child in the other's arms.

He was immediately captivated by the cub's blue eyes.

"Si, you..."

“Where did this child come from? Is this your child with Miss Yuzhu? But I remember neither of you had blue eyes…”

Si Qiannan immediately rushed forward. No matter how old he was, he always had a protective instinct when facing the cubs.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Paulen, I am Yuzhu's son."

Paulen was completely stunned:

“You…you look a lot like your father, but your nose looks like your mother’s.”

"And what about this cub? What's going on with him? He really looks like Miss, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar, and his eyes are Miss's favorite sapphire blue color."

"Si, you didn't pick this up because you miss your child, did you?"

Before Si Yeguang could move, Si Qiannan spread her wings like a mother hen:

"No, Zai Zai is Zai Zai. Zai is my child. He is not a substitute for anyone."

Si Yeguang was stunned and looked at Si Qiannan, seemingly unable to believe that Si Qiannan would say such a thing.

From initially being indifferent to everyone, to now standing in front of everyone and firmly protecting the cubs.

Si Qiannan is no longer like him. He is neither that emotionless monster nor a ruthless businessman driven by profit.

Si Qiannan is Si Qiannan; he has a different path to take.

Si Yeguang smiled and said, "Yes, Zaizai is not a toy; he is my precious grandson. It's a coincidence that he resembles Yuzhu. I never expected that this kid would bring me such a lovely treasure."

Paulen shrugged:

"But there's a clear sense of longing in your eyes when you look at the cub. Tsukasa, admitting that you miss someone isn't a sin, nor is it difficult. Don't shut your feelings out."

The cub suddenly moved, breaking free from Si Qiannan's embrace and climbing onto the table, taking up everyone's attention and interrupting Bao Lun's words.

Because the background music, a children's song, had reached its climax, the little one stuck out his bottom and moved around a bit, slowly bouncing along with the music.

Looking at the boy swinging his arms, Si Yeguang was momentarily transported back to the past, to the time when he saw Yuzhu swaying her skirt on the dance floor in a bar.

The sapphire necklace on her chest was dazzling.

Even more dazzling than it were those affectionate eyes.

In life, there will be many moments that make your heart flutter, but not every one of them can develop into love, marriage, and children.
