The cub still cared about his father's last shred of dignity and turned off the phone.
The afternoon after they finished filming the program, Grandpa Si rushed over to pick up his grandson.
The cub had never experienced the affection between grandparents and grandchildren, and did not know that grandparents were also a major force in spoiling the cub. He just obediently hid behind Si Qiannan, looking at his grandfather whose temples were a little gray.
Although Si Qiannan always calls him "Grandpa," Si Yeguang is actually only in his forties or fifties. In addition, he takes good care of himself and looks like a god who has frozen in time. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes also add to his mature charm.
Si Yeguang, dressed in a trench coat and wearing a hat, stood at the door looking travel-worn.
He saw that the cub's eyes were filled with tears, and the corners of its eyes were red, as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Perhaps the kinship that he could not build with Si Qiannan will be realized today with the cub.
The cub also noticed that Si Yeguang looked at him with the expression of someone who had just encountered an oasis after a long drought.
Seeing this, Si Qiannan nudged the cub, beckoning him over:
"This is Grandpa, go ahead."
The cub stamped its foot in disbelief before slowly walking up to Si Yeguang:
"grandfather……?"
A kind smile immediately appeared on Si Yeguang's sharp face, which bore a striking resemblance to Si Qiannan's:
"Eh...!"
Si Yeguang immediately picked up the cub:
"My dear grandson, my precious grandson, baby, how can you be so cute? You don't look like your dad at all. Did you inherit it from your mom?"
Si Qiannan was fed up with Si Yeguang's endless questions and snorted coldly:
"I found the baby myself!"
Si Yeguang retorted, "You're quite proud of yourself?! If you hadn't been so irresponsible, wouldn't his mother have come out and acknowledged you?"
Si Qiannan: How exactly is he supposed to explain that this cub isn't human?
Forget it, he already has more than just this one infamy. Let Old Master Si scold him if he wants; it won't hurt him much.
Si Qiannan completely gave up, exuding a faint sense of death, and followed behind Si Yeguang and the cub, dragging his luggage into the car.
But Si Yeguang probably felt he could really leave Si Qiannan behind, after all, he had a soft and cuddly baby in his arms, blinking his eyes and looking at him curiously. So Si Yeguang slammed the car door shut and let Si Qiannan get into his car.
Si Qiannan was never going to be turned away like this, but with the elderly and children all in the car, Si Qiannan could only swallow her anger and silently move the luggage to her own car.
Now only the boy, his grandfather, and the driver were left in the car.
The cub certainly knew the word "grandfather," but he had never even dreamed of his parents' love before, and he had no memory of his grandparents or other elders.
In his mind, there was no elderly person who loved him so much.
Si Yeguang held him, touched the child's calves, and frowned, saying, "Why is your dad dressing you in such thin clothes?"
The driver in front said cautiously, "Mr. Si, it's already in the twenties (Celsius)."
Si Yeguang gave him a look that said "shut up," and the driver promptly shut his mouth. Only then did Si Yeguang smile and ask the cub:
"Is Daddy good to you?"
Si Yeguang didn't care about his image as the former head of the family at all. He kept smiling as he looked at the cub. After all, he had been paying attention to the child when the cub was on the variety show. He knew how gentle, cute, thoughtful and quick-witted the cub was.
Even if he caused a little trouble, it's still better than when Si Qiannan almost beat someone to death in a fight when he was a child.
In comparison, his beloved grandson really doesn't seem like a member of the Si family at all.
But this is fine too. The Si family doesn't need a new patriarch right now, so let Si Qiannan continue to be the head of the family. He can take his grandson to play everywhere.
"My dear, Grandpa misses you so much."
Si Yeguang's affection for the cub also touched the cub, who, upon hearing this, obediently kissed its grandfather's cheek.
"Grandpa, your son likes you too."
Si Yeguang grabbed the back of the car seat with one hand, and in his excitement, he actually bent the back of the car seat.
The driver looked at the back of the passenger seat in horror, as if he thought that Mr. Si would bend his neck at any moment.
This wasn't Si Yeguang's fault. It's just that when Si Yeguang became the head of the Si family, the Si family's businesses hadn't yet been cleaned up; they were all in a gray area, and some of their operations were no different from those gambling dens or brothels.
Si Yeguang was a family head who had truly witnessed darkness and weathered great storms.
His family's business was built up by fighting alongside his brothers, one punch at a time.
Although Si Yeguang now appears respectable and gentlemanly, he actually has his own influence abroad.
This kind of person is usually called the "godfather".
But Si Yeguang, who usually receives submission and worship, easily unfastened the weapon from his waist, afraid of hurting his precious child. He even kicked the gun far away before kissing the cub's cheek and revealing an even more obvious smile.
Young cubs can distinguish between goodwill and malice in others.
Seeing how much Si Yeguang loved and cherished him, the cub finally understood, in a daze, how wondrous the bond of blood was.
Family isn't just about Dad and the baby; it's a whole family, a happy and fulfilling home.
He should be the youngest and most pampered child in the family.
As the child was thinking this, he saw Si Yeguang making a phone call to the child's second and third grandfathers, and also to the child's uncles, aunts and cousins.
Although Si Yeguang only has one son, Si Qiannan, he also has brothers, and the Si family has a wide branch. However, the number of grandchildren is small, and for the time being, there is only one grandchild, Youzai.
The rest of the Si family are also workaholics. Their relationships with relatives are not bad, but not particularly good either. They only get to eat together during holidays.
Only recently, after Si Qiannan acted swiftly and decisively and dealt with some of his parasitic relatives, have the relationships among his family members become closer than before.
Otherwise, if everyone is constantly suspicious of each other, who would want to live together?
In the "We are a loving family" group chat, dozens of people on the other side were looking at the baby and calling out "Baby!"
But because there were too many relatives and the phone screen was too small, and the child didn't know what to call them, he could only remain silent.
At this moment, Si Yeguang encouraged the cubs:
"Come here, baby, give your uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas a kiss—"
The cub obediently pointed at the phone screen and made a loud "mua!" sound.
In an instant, all the elites of the Si family went offline.
The next second, the Si family members who re-logged in screamed:
"I'm coming to see my baby!!! Baby, wait for me!!!"
The cub was startled by the family's enthusiasm and looked at Si Yeguang blankly.
He didn't know that a person could have so many relatives and family members.
They all share the same surname and the same bloodline.
Blood ties bound them together, and so they supported each other to keep the family together.
Si Yeguang told him not to be afraid, patted the boy's head, and asked:
"Baby, would you like to go visit our ancestral home?"
