Xi Bao is a polite and adorable child, and the joy of everyone in the Si family.
He is so good-looking thanks to Su Niannian.
When Si Lili heard her best friend talk about her and Tang Shuo's child, she felt even sweeter and even started to fantasize about who the child would look like.
She was very relieved to entrust her child to Su Niannian, and she believed that Su Niannian would raise the child very well.
Moved to tears, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll remember your words. If I have a child in the future, I will definitely entrust it to you to take care of."
"Besides, I trust you with my money!" He then gave Su Niannian a playful smile.
Su Niannian looked at the other person with a firm gaze, a gentle smile on her face, and readily replied, "No problem. If all conditions allow, I will definitely help you take care of your child for free without hesitation."
Whenever you need help, just ask! I'll do everything I can to help. It's my duty.
After all, we have such a good relationship, and you love my son so much, so I'll definitely reciprocate with a gift in return.
If she doesn't divorce Si Lijue a year later, then it would be perfectly legitimate for her to help her sister-in-law take care of her child.
However, if she divorces Si Lijue, she can help Si Lili take care of the child, but her status is not very suitable, and she doesn't know if the Si family and Tang family will allow it.
Besides, families with the status of the Si and Tang families probably wouldn't allow Si Lili's child to be handed over to her!
Su Niannian and Si Lili were having a heart-to-heart talk while sorting through a pile of old photos.
Suddenly, Su Niannian saw a photo of Si Lijue from his student days.
He was dressed in casual sportswear, and standing next to him was a girl with long, flowing hair and a pure, sweet appearance. The two were very close and smiling happily.
The photo made them look like a happy couple, and Su Niannian was completely stunned.
She picked up the photo, her eyes fixed on Si Lijue and the girl's hands clasped tightly together. Her intuition told her that the girl and Si Lijue had an unusual relationship.
She finally understood how Si Lili felt when she saw Tang Shuo and Jiang Siyu standing together.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she handed the photo to Si Lili, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, "Who is this girl? She's quite pretty."
Si Lili took the photo with a blank expression, her gaze falling on the pure and lovely face in it, and she examined it carefully.
After a moment, she raised her head and slowly said with that nonchalant expression, "This is Sister Xinyi. She has always been my brother's classmate and is also the daughter of Uncle Shen, who lives next door to us."
She and my brother grew up together, and our families lived very close to each other; we were childhood sweethearts.
Si Lili paused, then continued as if lost in memories: "I heard that back in high school, Sister Xinyi confessed her feelings to my brother."
As for whether my brother accepted her feelings and agreed to her confession, I really have no idea.
At this point, Si Lili frowned slightly, her face full of confusion and bewilderment. "Back then, the elders of both families were very happy and delighted when they learned about this."
They were all secretly delighted, especially hoping to bring my brother and Xinyi together as a couple. They even picked out an engagement date for them, eagerly anticipating the upcoming happy day.
However, for some unknown reason, Xinyi suddenly chose to study abroad alone.
Since then, many years have passed, and Sister Xinyi has never returned to China, even though she has completely severed ties with everything here.
My brother never mentioned anything about her again, and I never saw them in contact.
Sigh, I wonder what exactly happened back then that caused this beautiful relationship to end so abruptly..."
When Si Li thought about her brother's relationship with Shen Xinyi, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. She was so focused on regretting it that she completely ignored Su Niannian's feelings.
Hearing that Si Lijue had such a romantic history, Su Niannian felt a mix of emotions.
She murmured, "It's such a pity. If they hadn't separated back then, they would have been an enviable couple."
Then she wouldn't have had anything to do later, and Xi Bao wouldn't have existed, right?
Su Niannian didn't say the last sentence aloud, but just whispered it to herself.
Si Lili's lips curled into a bright smile, and she chimed in, "Who says otherwise! My brother probably has several kids by now, hahaha..."
As she laughed, she inadvertently turned her head and her gaze fell on Su Niannian's face beside her.
However, at that very moment, Si Lili's smile suddenly froze.
Because she saw that Su Niannian's face had turned extremely pale, without any color, as if it were covered by a layer of frost.
Furthermore, Su Niannian's eyes, which had been sparkling brightly, had lost their luster and become empty and lifeless, making her look as if she had lost her soul.
Si Lili was startled, realizing that she might have said something wrong.
Her smile vanished instantly, replaced by a face full of regret and self-blame.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Su Niannian's hand, saying apologetically, "Niannian, I'm sorry, did I say something wrong and upset you?"
Oh dear, I really didn't mean it, please don't take it to heart.
She quickly added, "Niannian, I really didn't mean anything by it."
Honestly, you and my brother are the perfect match, and our whole family likes you from the bottom of our hearts!
Besides, you gave birth to such an adorable baby for our Si family; you are a great contributor to our family.
I think my brother is very caring towards you and pays special attention to your feelings.
So please don't overthink it. Xinyi and my brother are things of the past. You and my brother are the real family.
Hearing Si Lili mention Xi Bao made Su Niannian feel even worse.
If she hadn't gotten drunk and wandered into Si Lijue's room five years ago, getting pregnant with Xibao, she probably wouldn't have had any interaction with Si Lijue, and the Si family wouldn't have accepted her.
Now everyone in the Si family treats her kindly and warmly, and all of this actually stems from Xi Bao.
It seemed that she could only enjoy this kind of treatment if Xi Bao was around.
Si Lijue has always maintained a clean and chaste image, and his aversion to women is probably all because he has Shen Xinyi on his mind, and it probably has little to do with her.
Thinking of all this, she couldn't help but feel saddened.
It turns out that I was always just an outsider, playing a supporting role in this emotional entanglement.
