No woman in this world would willingly raise a child born to her husband and another woman.
If she divorces Si Lijue, Xi Bao's fate will probably not be much better than Nannan's.
Xi Bao was the child that Su Niannian gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy at great personal risk, and she raised him with great care and hardship. He was the apple of her eye, and she absolutely could not stand by and watch her son follow in Nannan's footsteps.
Thinking of this, Su Niannian's heart clenched, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, causing her unbearable pain.
She made up her mind that after returning to the Si family and seeing Si Lijue today, she would definitely have a serious talk with him about the ownership of Xibao.
If they divorce a year later and the contract is terminated, Si Lijue will definitely remarry. She still wants to regain custody of Xibao, since she herself has no intention of remarrying.
As long as she has custody of Xibao and won't find a stepfather for Xibao, her son's safety will be guaranteed, and no one can harm her precious son.
When her uncle caught a glimpse of Su Niannian's somewhat dazed and absent-minded appearance while washing the dishes, his heart tightened and a sense of worry instantly welled up in his heart.
He quickly put down the rag in his hand and asked with concern, "Niannian, what's wrong with you?"
You look so distracted, are you feeling unwell? Tell your uncle!
As he spoke, his uncle reached out and gently placed his hand on Su Niannian's shoulder, his gaze fixed on her slightly pale face, his eyes filled with tension and worry.
Immediately afterward, as if he had thought of something, his uncle frowned slightly, and his tone became increasingly anxious: "Could it be... could it be that there's something wrong with your relationship with President Si?"
If that's really the case, you absolutely mustn't hide it from your uncle! No matter what happens, your uncle will always be on your side and support you!
Su Niannian was pulled back to reality by her uncle's voice. She shook her head and made up an excuse, "I'm fine. I just felt so sorry for Nannan after hearing about her background."
The uncle stared intently at Su Niannian's expression, but found nothing amiss, and his heart finally settled down.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself with a chuckle, "It's good that you're alright! I was really worried that your relationship would run into problems, which would hurt Xibao!"
Then, changing the subject, she couldn't help but lament, "They say a child without a mother is like a blade of grass, while a child with a mother is like a treasure."
The little girl is so pitiful because she became a child without a mother!
As bystanders, our anxiety for her is futile. We hope her father will have a change of heart, treat the child better, and not leave an indelible shadow on her childhood.
The uncle thought to himself, if Xiao Nannan were his daughter, he would rather never get married and raise the child well.
I really don't understand how there could be such heartless parents who don't care about their own flesh and blood at all.
Su Niannian felt deeply for Xiao Nannan's situation, and the sound of her crying when she first met Nannan kept echoing in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was thinking about how to negotiate with Si Lijue when she returned to the Si family and get him to agree to give her custody of her beloved child. She didn't have much interest in continuing to gossip with her uncle.
The two exchanged a few more words, but quickly finished cleaning the kitchen, tidying up, and throwing out the leftovers and trash. Then they returned to the Su family's house from Grandpa Nannan's house.
At 5 p.m., Si Lijue personally came to the Su family to pick up Su Niannian and Xibao. Since Su's mother had agreed to let Xibao stay at the Su family to keep Nannan company, she did not let Xibao leave. Si Lijue only took Su Niannian with him.
The two sat in the back of the car. Su Niannian looked worried and preoccupied the whole way, and she barely spoke to Si Lijue.
Si Lijue kept glancing at the sullen woman sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye, unable to figure out what was wrong with her.
Finally, as they approached the Si family home, Si Lijue could no longer contain himself and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Wife, what's wrong? Did something happen while I was away? Or did your parents say something to you?"
If anything happens to you, be sure to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself.
Su Niannian lifted her eyelids to look at the man in front of her, moved her lips a few times, and instead of answering, asked, "If we divorce a year from now, will you immediately marry another woman?"
Si Lijue frowned almost imperceptibly, and asked in a slightly reproachful tone, "Aren't we on good terms now? Why do you keep worrying about things that haven't even happened?"
Su Niannian reached out and grabbed Si Lijue's sleeve, saying in a somewhat urgent tone, "Answer my question first, don't change the subject, it's very important to me."
She was indeed eager to know Si Lijue's thoughts. If he was the kind of man who couldn't bear loneliness and couldn't live without women, she definitely wouldn't hand Xibao over to him.
Even if she ran away with her child again, she would never let another woman harm her son.
Seeing her impatient look, Si Lijue shook his head and decisively replied, "No!"
He would never divorce Su Niannian in his life, nor would he marry another woman. In this world, apart from Su Niannian, no other woman could catch his eye; he disdained to have any other woman.
Hearing his answer, Su Niannian felt a little relieved and murmured, "If you want to marry another woman, tell me in advance and give me custody of Xibao. I will take Xibao away and make room for you."
Of course, I'm not a selfish person, and I won't monopolize Xibao. Your Si family members are welcome to visit the child anytime, and I'll also have the child visit you at the Si family home on weekends.
Seeing the man's face growing increasingly grim, she assumed he was worried about leaving the child with her, and added, "Don't worry, after we get divorced, I won't remarry. I will dedicate myself to raising Xibao and making sure he's not bullied."
Si Lijue was sitting leisurely in the back seat, but when he heard Su Niannian ask him for custody of Xibao, he was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Su Niannian kept bringing up the divorce, and said a series of inexplicable things, which hit Si Lijue's heart like a heavy hammer.
He stared wide-eyed at the woman in front of him in disbelief, his mind racing through all the moments they had shared, but he couldn't find anything amiss.
He couldn't understand why this woman suddenly wanted to divorce him and also wanted custody of the children.
Could it be that this woman has fallen in love with someone else, found a man who is better than him, and wants to abandon him for someone else?
Or is it that she regrets marrying him and is eager to sever ties with him?
