The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

When he heard this, Qiao Sinian lowered his head, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his eyes.

Will Joshua care about him more?

This is strange.

In the past years, Qiao Siyue acted like a brother to him on the surface, but secretly he had put obstacles in his way and sent countless assassins to kill him.

Although he was able to resolve the situation every time, he knew better than anyone else that Qiao Siyue had a wolfish ambition that wanted him dead and couldn't wait.

But he never told his parents about these dark things.

Firstly, he didn't want to make them worry and upset, and secondly, he really needed Qiao Siyue to stand in front of the stage and handle some matters for him.

He suppressed all his emotions deep in his heart, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had returned to their usual calmness, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Mr. Qiao cleared his throat, took over his wife's words, and tried to persuade him.

"Si Nian, our original plan was to wait for Si Yue to complete the marriage process for you, and then arrange for you to consummate your marriage with that girl. That way, she would be your legally wedded wife. Although this method... does treat her unfairly, and is even deceptive."

"But at least, she will be the legitimate head lady of the Chemoshi family in the future. This can be considered as a kind of compensation for her, but..."

Mr. Qiao hesitated and didn't finish his words, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Mrs. Qiao saw this and quickly said, "But Si Yue told us today that he has fallen in love with Miss Wen and they have a good relationship. He doesn't want to give Miss Wen to you..."

"But honestly, Si Nian, we never had a crush on Miss Wen. She comes from an ordinary family and has a simple background. It was just Si Yue's wishful thinking."

Mrs. Qiao picked up a photo she had prepared long ago and handed it to Qiao Sinian. "Look, your father and I have found someone better for you. Look, this is the daughter of the Fanning family. Whether it's family background, personal talent, management skills, or genetics, she's far superior to Miss Wen in every way."

"Most importantly, we contacted her privately and expressed our intentions, and she said she was willing to have a child with you."

Qiao Sinian's brows were tightly furrowed. He didn't even glance at the photo his mother handed to him, and he was obviously not interested.

Mrs. Qiao still strongly recommended it: "She also said that she has been in love with you for a long time. After knowing your physical condition, she can accept it. She doesn't want anything, she just wants to leave you a child..."

Qiao Sinian interrupted his mother, "You said she didn't want anything and was willing to give birth to a child for a dying man like me?"

Mrs. Qiao nodded: "Yes."

Qiao Sinian said in a deep voice, "She said she didn't seek anything. Is it possible? She just doesn't seek anything in the present. After I die, the child she gives birth to will definitely take over the family business. The Fanning family will then take advantage of our influence and use this child to rise to power and become the richest family in North America."

Mrs. Qiao said, "We have naturally taken this into consideration. Si Nian, don't worry. With your father and I here, we will never let her take advantage of us. At most, we can give her some benefits. But if they want to use this opportunity to swallow up the entire Chemoshi family, that is absolutely impossible. Moreover, we will take the child in and raise him personally. We will not let the child fall into the hands of others."

Qiao Sinian listened to his mother's solemn assurance and did not refute it. He just commented slowly, "It sounds like... a good idea."

Seeing her son's tone soften, Mrs. Qiao thought he was persuaded and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "If you're not feeling well and can't...we've got it figured out for you. You don't have to actually consummate the marriage with her. We can do in vitro fertilization. As long as she successfully conceives, we'll give her generous compensation."

Just as Mrs. Qiao was speaking with great joy, Qiao Sinian slowly spoke, "But mother, this is not what your son wants."

The smiles on the couple's faces froze instantly.

Qiao Sinian continued, his tone calm but resounding, "If I want a child, it must be with the one I love, with mutual affection, not with a strange woman, to produce a tool for an heir."

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao's expressions changed slightly.

It seems that after talking for so long, my son still doesn't agree.

Besides...a beloved woman? My son had been isolated from the outside world since he was little due to health reasons. He didn't even have a close female friend. He had never touched a woman in his life. Where could he find a beloved woman?

This has to be a joke.

The couple looked at each other and thought in unison: This is probably just an excuse their son made up to reject them.

Hearing this, the couple stopped pressing.

Mrs. Qiao said, "Since you don't want to be with her, we won't force you. Si Nian, we are just discussing today's matter with you. We don't mean to make a decision right now, but..."

She changed the subject: "Mom and Dad sincerely hope that you will leave behind a child. We also hope that you can have a son of your own to continue your bloodline."

She looked at her son with pleading eyes. "So, we've asked Dr. Ferri to come over. He's an authority on this subject. Let him examine you. If the conditions are right... he'll take your sperm and store it in a storage facility."

She took a step forward, her voice choked with sobs: "Si Nian, just think of it as your parents begging you. This is our only wish. I hope you won't reject us again this time."

Qiao Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly. He even called the doctor over. "It seems you are well prepared today."

Mr. Qiao said in a deep voice, "Si Nian, your mother and I have never forced anything upon you in our lives. We truly do this for your own good. We don't want you to...lose even a trace of your own bloodline in the end."

Mrs. Qiao lowered her head at the right time and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

The couple sang the same tune, one appealing to their son's emotions and the other explaining the reason to him, knowing that their son had always been soft-hearted and would definitely compromise, especially when faced with their pleading.

However, their eldest son chose not to follow the usual path today.

After a moment's silence, Qiao Sinian suddenly spoke, saying something that shocked the couple: "It seems that I am afraid I will disappoint you, because I already have someone I like."

After being shocked, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao regained their composure. This guy was deceiving them again.

The couple wanted to say something else, but Qiao Sinian interrupted them impatiently: "Other things... let's talk about it later."
