When Si Mobai returned to Qingyouyuan, only the lights in the hall were still on.
The servants in Qingyouyuan had already rested, and only Zhou Xin was waiting in the hall.
When I saw him coming back, I hurriedly greeted him and took his coat.
"Master, why are you coming back so late today?"
"The meeting was delayed."
He looked around, and when he didn't see that beautiful figure, he turned to look at Zhou Xin.
"What about her?"
Zhou Xin thought he was asking Su Chenxi and replied: "The young lady and the young master have gone to bed long ago."
Si Mobai couldn't get the answer he wanted and raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Xin knew how to look at his face, and when he saw something wrong with his expression, he immediately understood that he had misunderstood what he meant.
"Master, are you asking about Madam? Madam left after the young lady and young master fell asleep."
Si Mobai walked upstairs expressionlessly, and asked him in passing: "Who asked her?"
Zhou Xin was confused.
In this Qingyou Garden, besides the young master, the young lady and the young master, isn’t there only the madam?
If the young master could not ask his wife, who else could he ask?
Si Mobai came upstairs and slowly opened the door to Su Chenxi's room.
Su Chenxi was sleeping soundly, holding an abstract family portrait in her arms, which included him, Su Qian, Su Chenyu and Mrs. Si.
These days, she almost always falls asleep like this.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her white and cute little face, with a touch of warmth in the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that one of her little hands was exposed, he gently picked up the corner of the quilt and put her hand inside.
He just sat quietly by the bed, looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face, feeling a different kind of happiness.
At some point, he got used to living with her.
Sometimes he would even think that even if Su Qian couldn't find their biological father, maybe this position was reserved for him.
Even though he knew how ridiculous the idea was.
After staring at Su Chenxi for a while, he turned off the light and left the room.
Just as I was about to go back to the study, a little head popped out of the next room.
Su Chenyu was lying beside the door in an odd way, and asked with a smile: "Daddy, are you free?"
Si Mobai looked at him doubtfully: "Why haven't you rested yet?"
He was wearing cartoon pajamas and walked out with his little feet.
"Oh, I can't sleep."
Si Mobai found it funny.
"How old are you? Do you know what insomnia means?"
"I'm young, but I'm not stupid. Isn't insomnia just the inability to sleep?"
Si Mobai thought this guy was very interesting and said seriously: "Then tell me, why do you have insomnia?"
Su Chenyu came to the stairs, sat casually on the stairs, held his little face in his hands and said, "I'm so worried~"
Si Mobai came over and sat next to him in an indistinct manner.
"Tell me, what are you worried about?"
"Sister Chou, and...Mommy."
"Your mommy?"
Si Mobai was confused by what he said.
I'm worried about Su Chenxi because she's sick. Why are I worried about Su Qian?
Su Chenyu looked at him seriously.
"I think Mommy is working so hard."
Looking at this little guy's bright eyes, Si Mobai suddenly felt a little distressed.
"Why?"
"Mommy has to go to work every day, and she has to take care of me and Chen Xi after get off work. I think she is very tired, but I am too young and can't help her much."
Su Chenyu sighed: "It would be great if I could grow up tomorrow morning."
Si Mobai touched his little head.
"You are young and think a lot."
"I don't want to think too much. It would be nice to be as carefree as other children, but that's not possible. If I make too much noise, Mommy will have a harder time."
Listening to these words, Si Mobai felt depressed and unspeakably uncomfortable.
He didn't know why he felt this way, maybe... he just felt sorry for this child.
Su Chenyu stared downstairs and sighed: "If I had a daddy when I was born, mommy wouldn't have to work so hard."
Si Mobai stared at him.
"Do you miss your biological daddy?"
Su Chenyu replied seriously: "I thought about it before, but now I don't."
"Why?"
"Because I have you, it's enough."
As he said that, he put his little hand on his father's knee and smiled silly.
Si Mobai was infected by his smile and felt that his heart was filled with panic.
"Why do you trust me so much? We are not related by blood. How do you know that I am really good to you?"
"Because I'm a child and you can't get much benefit from me, so your kindness to me is all sincere!"
The corners of Si Mobai's mouth curled up: "You know quite a lot."
Su Chenyu moved closer to him until his body was close to him, then he stopped.
"Daddy, thank you for being so kind to me and Chen Xi."
…
In the restaurant.
Sun E brought a bowl of milk and rice porridge to Su Qian and sat down opposite her.
"Qianqian, I have watched Chen Xi and Chen Yu grow up, and in my heart, I have long regarded them as my grandchildren.
Don't blame auntie for talking too much. Auntie is also a person with children. Parents are indispensable for children.
Have you ever thought about asking the children’s father to come and see them?”
Su Qian pulled at the rice porridge for a moment.
Then, she scooped up the rice porridge and put it in her mouth, swallowing it with difficulty.
"Aunt Sun, I know what you mean, but..."
After hesitation, she confessed: "I have no idea who their father is."
Sun E was stunned for a moment.
In all these years, she had never heard Su Qian mention the father of her two children.
Occasionally, when she asked, Su Qian would deliberately avoid it, and then she simply stopped asking.
Unexpectedly, it was for this reason.
Sun E was not one to poke her pain, so she quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Qianqian, it's Auntie who's too talkative. Auntie doesn't want to inquire about your personal affairs, but if Chenxi stays like this, it will have some impact on her growth."
"I know."
Su Qian put down the porridge spoon.
Why didn't she worry about this?
Over the years, she had seen Chen Xi every time, whether it was a famous pediatrician or a psychiatrist, but it had no effect at all.
She also understood what Aunt Sun meant. Maybe Chenxi would get better if she found the child's father.
Although, she was extremely repelled by this man.
But remembering her daughter's state just now, she finally relaxed.
"Aunt Sun, thank you for your concern. If I have a chance, I will inquire about his whereabouts."
Sun E smiled kindly.
"Qianqian, eat it while it's hot."
Su Qian nodded.
"Aunt Sun, I may not be at home often these days, so Chen Xi and Chen Yu will ask you to take care of them."
"Qianqian, what you said is too outrageous. Auntie said that Chen Xi and Chen Yu are her grandchildren. There is no reason why they should not take good care of them. If anything happens to you, just go and handle it with peace of mind."
