Tao Boli took a sip of tea, suppressing his nervousness, and said as calmly as possible, "I called you here today because there's something I want to tell you."
Shi Xi looked up. "Please speak."
The girl's dark eyes were clear, like stars in the night sky, bright and pure.
Tao Boli paused, then drank another cup of tea.
Shi Xi noticed his nervousness, picked up the teapot to pour him tea, and reassured him, "It's alright, take your time."
The private room was filled with calming incense.
Tao Boli calmed down and said, "I am your father."
Shi Xi originally thought he was trying to please her so that it would be easier for him to propose to Hua Wenying.
Upon hearing Tao Boli's words, a question mark appeared above my head.
ha?
"You, you and my mom..." Shi Xi hesitated, choosing her words carefully, "...have already registered your marriage?"
Tao Boli's lips twitched slightly. "Not yet."
Shi Xi guessed, "So you're getting married?"
“You are my and Wen Yin’s biological daughter. This is the paternity test report.” Tao Boli quickly took out the documents and explained, “Wen Yin and I separated due to some misunderstandings, and we only got back together recently.”
Shi Xi's mind went blank.
She treated Tao Boli as her stepfather, but it turned out he was her biological father?
Shi Xi picked up the appraisal report, saw the date on it, and her heart sank. She asked incredulously, "You knew all along?"
"Yes." Tao Boli lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
The longer you delay, the less you'll dare to speak up later.
"Then why are you only telling me now?" Shi Xi asked incredulously. "Why have you been keeping it from me all this time? Does Mom know?"
Tao Boli answered the last question: "She knows."
Shi Xi: ...
That's obvious. It's Hua Wenyin's child, so of course she knows who the biological father is!
"You!" Shi Xi looked at Tao Boli, speechless, picked up her bag and got up to leave.
"Xi Xi," Tao Boli called to her.
However, Shi Xi ignored her completely and simply pushed open the door and went out.
In the next private room, several people heard the door open and quickly came out.
"Xi Xi," Hua Wenying apologized guiltily, "it's my fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
Hua Xuan and Xie Yunzhou were also in the next private room. They came out with Hua Wenying and looked at Shi Xi with concern.
Shi Xi asked angrily, "You all knew? You all kept it from me?"
"I just found out too," Hua Xuanhe quickly clarified, speaking up for Hua Wenying, "It's not easy for my aunt to raise the child alone..."
"She didn't bring me!" Shi Xi's eyes instantly reddened as she looked at Xie Yunzhou, waiting for his explanation.
Xie Yunzhou wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, "I'm sorry."
He didn't want to lie to Shi Xi.
Disappointed, Shi Xi turned and left.
Hua Wenying wanted to follow, but Xie Yunzhou was faster and strode after her.
"Let Xie Yunzhou comfort Xixi," Hua Xuan said, supporting her aunt.
Shi Xi was in a bad mood, and he was afraid that Shi Xi would say something that would upset Hua Wenying.
They were also afraid that Shi Xi would regret what she said, and that both of them would have unresolved issues in their hearts.
Let's calm down first.
Tao Boli followed, saying, "You take good care of Wen Yin, I'm going to check on her."
But Shi Xi and Xie Yunzhou's car had already left, and he hadn't even seen which direction it was going.
They had no choice but to ask Xie Yunzhou to help comfort Shi Xi.
He was a bad father.
Even now, I don't know what to do.
Back in the private room, Hua Wenying was still sobbing softly, blaming herself, "It's my fault, if only I hadn't lost Xixi..."
"Xixi is just talking, she's not angry with you," Tao Boli comforted her gently. "She's angry with me, but you've been so good to her. How could she blame you?"
Hua Xuan felt he was being superfluous and left silently.
