"Okay, then come on in, I’ll have someone prepare some extra food."
"Sure, sorry to intrude." Sang Shen said this, but his steps were anything but polite, as he walked straight in.
Si Tiantian didn’t understand the awkwardness between the adults, and instead, happily held someone’s hand.
After walking in, she saw the other members of the Si Family sitting on the sofa, and Si Tiantian immediately let go and ran over, "Grandma, Grandpa, Grandfather, I’m back."
"Ah, our sweet little Tiantian has come back," Father Si reached out and picked up the child, with a beaming smile on his face.
"Sang Shen is here too, take a seat," Old Madam Si said courteously, but in her heart, she couldn’t help but think this kid was really not at all polite.
Their family was not lacking that little bit of food; the main issue was the awkward relationship with a few of the Sang Family brothers.
"I came over in a hurry today and didn’t buy any gifts for you, I apologize. I’ll definitely bring some next time."
Sang Shen, however, was not at all reserved and sat directly on the sofa.
"It’s okay, no need to bring anything," Old Madam Si chuckled dryly. As if she lacked gifts! This kid just didn’t have any tact.
They hadn’t had the chance to continue with the pleasantries when suddenly there was a noise from outside the door.
Meng Jiahe and Sang Qiao came in one after the other. Seeing the adorable Si Tiantian on the sofa, Meng Jiahe couldn’t help but trot over to hug her.
"Tiantian, I haven’t seen you in so long. Godmother really missed you. Did you have fun traveling with your mom?"
"Happy, I missed godmother too," Si Tiantian said, feeling like she could barely breathe from the hug.
"Now that everyone’s back, let’s start dinner," Old Madam Si suggested seeing the warm atmosphere among the family. Their Tiantian had been loved and raised by so many since birth.
"Okay." The servants immediately went to prepare in the kitchen, where the cook had been boiling food since early morning, and it was nearly ready now.
The aromatic dishes were soon brought to the table, and the family gathered around.
When the time seemed right, Sang Shen decided to speak his mind, "Uh, Qiaoqiao, there’s a variety show coming up that needs a child to join me. I was thinking of taking Tiantian, what do you think?"
Once he said this, the adults who had been chatting all quieted down.
Sang Qiao also stopped her chopsticks and glanced up at Sang Shen, then turned her gaze to Tiantian, who was bowing her head eating.
Her gaze undoubtedly put both Sang Shen and Si Tiantian through an agonizing wait.
"Let’s not, after all. We’ve never even gone public with Tiantian, we’ve protected her so well, and now you want to expose her to the public eye..."
Old Madam Si voiced her disapproval. Ever since Ah Li was out of the picture, they had been extremely cautious, fearing any mishap with Tiantian.
After all, there was only one child in their family, and they couldn’t predict what might happen with Si Jing’s condition, so they had to protect this child.
"Grandma Si, you can rest assured on that point. When we apply, we’ll ask the show to help conceal her identity and appear as an ordinary person," Sang Shen reassured, understanding the Si Family’s concerns, but times were different now. Si Jing could stand on her own, and besides, the Sang Family had always been an ally to the Si Family.
Even if Tiantian’s identity were exposed to the public one day, they would protect her.
This matter couldn’t be hidden forever; sooner or later, someone would dig up Tiantian’s information.
"These netizens can be so vicious nowadays; what if they inadvertently hurt our Tiantian?" Mrs. Si also expressed her worries. Netizens could be truly frightening when they lash out. Tiantian was quite mature for her age, having attended tutoring classes several times and able to recognize most words.
"Don’t worry about that. I’ve already thought of a plan. No one will be scolding Tiantian, and the very few who do, I will take care of," Sang Shen assured.
Sang Shen assured her that he really wanted to work with Tiantian.
"Alright, you can go, but Tiantian, you know once you sign up for the variety show, you have to shoot until the end, right? If after two or three days you find it too tough, I won’t take you back."
Sang Qiao spoke indifferently, she had always respected the wishes of this child.
"I can endure hardship." Si Tiantian nodded her little head.
"Okay, then you go, take good care of yourself, and you can call me at any time if there’s anything."
Sang Qiao did not refuse any further.
"Mhm mhm, thank you, Mom." Si Tiantian did not expect the matter to be resolved so easily.
"Tomorrow I’ll first take you to see Dad, and then you can go with your Uncle Sang Shen to sign up," Sang Qiao said with a calm face, and then continued eating.
However, these words shocked the several people at the dining table. Did Qiaoqiao just say she was going to take Tiantian to see Dad? Was she willing to accept reality now?
Sang Shen was excited to agree to the title ’Uncle Sang Shen,’ which showed that Qiaoqiao was willing to acknowledge him as Tiantian’s uncle.
"Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Tiantian."
"Mhm."
After the meal, everyone went back to rest. Si Tiantian was brought by Mrs. Si to have a shower and then rested together with her in Mrs. Si’s room.

The next morning, Sang Qiao took Tiantian to Si Chenli’s grave. She’d always known the address but had never been there.
Although Si Tiantian was young, she had seen such buildings on TV and dared not say a word while holding her mother’s hand.
She didn’t know why her mother brought her here; didn’t she say they were going to see Dad?
Sang Qiao took Si Tiantian to a cleanly swept tombstone that read: The Tomb of Si Chenli.
"This is your Dad."
Si Tiantian looked at the handsome man in the black and white photo and didn’t know what to say for a while. So her Dad was not here?
Were they afraid to make her sad? No one at home had ever told her, and every time this topic came up, there was only silence.
"Dad won’t come back?"
"He won’t." Sang Qiao sighed softly with a bitter smile on her lips.
Si Tiantian reached out and hugged her mother’s thigh tightly. Sang Qiao bent down and held her daughter close in her arms, "You have to grow up fast. So many people love you; don’t always cling to me."
"No, I want to stick to Mom. Tiantian wants to be a little greedy."
Si Tiantian was a bit scared of such a mother, even more so than when she looked cold.
"Alright, you have to grow up happy. Mom hopes your life will always be sweet."
"Mhm mhm, I will grow up fast and be good to Mom, helping Dad take care of Mom," Si Tiantian spoke pleasingly and also felt for the first time that she was still too small.
She couldn’t even hug her mother properly.
"Mhm, let’s go back." Sang Qiao lifted her daughter up and walked out.
It was enough that her daughter had seen. She didn’t want to say other things in front of her daughter, didn’t want to see sorrow on her daughter’s face. Tiantian just had to grow up happy.
