Although it was a faint hint of panic, Shana picked up on it.

What’s going on with Father? It seems like there’s something he’s hiding from her, something he doesn’t want her to know?

Could it be that handling the national affairs isn’t going smoothly, and he doesn’t want her to worry, so he’s secretly brooding over it by himself?

Shana felt uneasy but didn’t ask directly, as her father has never liked her questioning about state affairs.

President Shi Mai’er picked up the teapot, used the lid to gently skim the surface of the tea, blew on the hot steam, and then took a small sip of the tea.

This fruit tea is brewed from papaya, apples, and other fruits, combined with S Country’s special tea leaves, giving it a unique tea flavor.

This fruit tea is different from that of Country Z. It tastes more refreshing and helps with sleep, without causing insomnia.

Shana had put a lot of effort into preparing the tea; it tasted sweet and sour, perhaps with a hint of honey added.

President Shi Mai’er nodded and said, "Hmm, it tastes very nice."

He looked up at Shana, inevitably feeling a wave of emotion.

Although he couldn’t reunite with Song Yinyin, having Shana by his side now as a daughter somewhat filled the gap. After going through a calamity, Shana had matured significantly, no longer the spoiled, haughty girl she once was.

"Dad, if you find it tasty, I’ll often prepare it for you to drink, okay?" Shana playfully clung to her father’s neck, acting sweetly.

"Sure, sure, of course." President Shi Mai’er nodded, gently patting his daughter’s hand, feeling a slight stir in his heart, and his eyes unexpectedly began to moisten a little.

Shana looked up at her father’s face, finding to her surprise that his eyes seemed a bit moist and red, causing her to be even more shocked.

What’s going on with Dad? His eyes are actually tearing up, which doesn’t seem like it’s just from overwork with national affairs.

Though her mind was filled with countless questions, Shana chose not to probe further. Instead, she softly said, "Dad, since you’ve had the fruit tea, rest early, I’m going back to my room to sleep."

"Alright, I understand."

Shana returned to her room, her brows faintly frowned.

The image of her father hastily hiding something in the desk drawer kept replaying in her mind.

Feeling inexplicably anxious, she sensed that something might happen.

Driven by curiosity, she waited impatiently until night when her father had gone back to his room to rest before she tiptoed cautiously towards the study.

The study door wasn’t locked, and Shana easily pushed it open and went to the desk.

She reached to open the second drawer on the right but found it was locked.

It seems that item is important; otherwise, why would Dad lock it away?

She didn’t know where the key was. If only she could unlock that drawer.

She looked around, rummaged through the desk, then searched the back bookshelf, finally finding the key in a pen holder.

Just as she was about to use the key to open the drawer, a strange noise suddenly came from outside, scaring her into quickly turning off the flashlight.

Meow—

It turned out to be the call of a stray cat!

Shana breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and only then did she pick up the key again to open the drawer.

To her delight, the key she found, by chance, indeed unlocked the drawer!

Inside the drawer was a document.

What kind of document is this, could it be a very important state document?

Curiously, she took the document out.

The beam of light from the flashlight shone on the document, clearly illuminating three words—Biological Parent!

Shana’s mind went blank with a bang.
