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

The child's facial features, and the slightly pursed lips when he's focused... how come they look so much like Si Nian when he was little!

When Wen Xiaoman saw that Madam Qiao had seen Xiao Ayan, her heart skipped a beat.

Now that she had decided to end her entanglement with Qiao Sinian completely, she naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble, especially not to let Madam Qiao discover the existence of Xiao Ayan.

So she stepped forward and explained, "That's Yutang's child."

That should dispel Mrs. Qiao's idea.

"So it's Miss Su's child, how adorable."

Mrs. Qiao was very well-mannered and not the kind of woman who would pry into things. When she heard Wen Xiaoman say that, she stopped asking and just smiled politely.

But as she turned around, Madam Qiao glanced again in the direction of Xiao Ayan.

picture……

They look so alike...

As for why I think he resembles Si Nian rather than Si Yue, it's probably because of his temperament.

The child was quiet, shy, and reserved, much like the eldest son, Si Nian.

Knowing that Wen Xiaoman was going out with Madam Qiao, Su Yutang told her, "Xiaoman, call me anytime if anything happens."

Wen Xiaoman nodded: "Okay, please take good care of Xiao Ayan for me, I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Su Yutang agreed, but just to be on the safe side, she secretly sent someone to follow and protect Wen Xiaoman's safety.

Over there, Wen Xiaoman followed Madam Qiao to a quiet and upscale coffee shop nearby.

The two sat down in a booth by the window.

Wen Xiaoman placed her hands neatly on her knees, her fingertips slightly curled, waiting for Madam Qiao to speak first.

Mrs. Qiao didn't exchange many pleasantries. She gently stirred her coffee and got straight to the point: "Miss Wen, I'm here today for Si Nian."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaoman frowned slightly, puzzled.

Was it for Si Nian? Was he here to warn her to stay away from him?

She remained silent, waiting for Mrs. Qiao to continue.

Mrs. Qiao continued, "I know you went to see Si Nian and stayed in his house for a long time. I also sent people to investigate some things about your past... I also know that you are my eldest son, the person I cherish most in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaoman felt a lump in her throat for no apparent reason.

I remember crying and pleading for half an hour in his empty bedroom, but he still wouldn't show up...

How could she possibly become the person he cherishes most?

She suppressed a sob in her throat, lowered her eyes and said, "Mrs. Qiao, please rest assured, now that I'm back, I won't bother Si Nian anymore. Besides, I have nothing to do with him anymore, so you really don't need to make this special trip."

She will also be sensible and will never do those foolish things that cause endless trouble and annoy people again.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Qiao suddenly reached out and grabbed her slightly cold hand, which was resting on the table.

Wen Xiaoman looked up in surprise and met Mrs. Qiao's somewhat excited eyes.

Mrs. Qiao gripped her hand tightly and said, "No, Miss Wen, you've misunderstood. I didn't come here to ask you to give up."

She said clearly, word by word, "On the contrary, I want you to continue to pester Si Nian. No matter what, don't let him go!"

Wen Xiaoman was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, staring in disbelief at the elegant lady in front of her, almost wondering if she had misheard.

Mrs. Qiao... actually sent her to pester Qiao Sinian?

Mrs. Qiao realized that her behavior had been somewhat inappropriate and, fearing she might frighten Wen Xiaoman, she released her grip and softened her tone:

“What I mean is, my husband and I will not stop you from dating, nor will we object to you being together. We are parents, and we are quite open-minded and support our children’s freedom to date. So you don’t need to worry about our attitude, and you don’t need to feel that you are not good enough for our Chemosi family.”

This statement did indeed surprise Wen Xiaoman somewhat.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Joe did not interfere much in their children's marriages from the beginning; otherwise, they would not have allowed Joe to forcefully push through that absurd wedding.

but……

“Mrs. Qiao, thank you and Mr. Qiao for your understanding, but…”

Wen Xiaoman continued, "The key to this matter is not whether you object or not, but that it's over between Si Nian and me."

Mrs. Qiao immediately shook her head: "It's not over. As long as you still like him, as long as you want it to be, it's not over between you!"

Wen Xiaoman frowned, looking at Madam Qiao with even more confusion. What did this mean?

Is this relationship something she can still control?

Mrs. Qiao knew that she had to take drastic measures, so she simply spoke frankly: "To tell you the truth, Miss Wen, I know Si Nian very well. I can guarantee with my own integrity that he absolutely likes you, even more than you think."

She continued, "Back then, he suddenly ran away from home and disappeared for so long. We used all our connections but couldn't find him. But he ended up with you and secretly had a relationship."

"And now, he's opened a huge dessert shop for you, with stores all over the world. Isn't that enough to show that he likes you?"

Wen Xiaoman lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

She knew that Si Nian liked her, but she really didn't understand why he wouldn't see her.

“Mrs. Qiao…” she was about to speak.

Madam Qiao, however, did not give her a chance to back down. She pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "So Xiaoman, I'm begging you, please come back with me, okay? Give Sinian another chance, and give yourself another chance. He's just... just a little awkward, he may have some unspeakable reason, but he definitely wants to see you."

Wen Xiaoman raised her head, her eyes filled with exhaustion and a clarity born of heartbreak. "Mrs. Qiao, I just made up my mind to give up. Now you want me to go back? I really can't do it. Besides, this isn't something I can decide on my own. Si Nian... he refuses to see me. What's the point of me going?"

Mrs. Qiao denied it, "No, believe me, I'm his mother, I know him, he definitely wants to see you, he just... he just needs someone to give him a push!"

Looking at Madam Qiao's earnest and confident gaze, Wen Xiaoman did not believe it.

Before returning, she almost abandoned all dignity and begged him for half an hour, but he did not appear.

Even now, thinking about it still makes my heart ache.

When Madam Qiao saw that Wen Xiaoman remained unmoved, she became truly anxious.

She steeled herself and called out to her affectionately, "Xiaoman, Sinian has always been different from other children. He's as quiet as a gourd, has never interacted with girls, and is incredibly clumsy with words; he never knows how to express himself properly..."
