Chapter 887: Finally Willing to Call Him "Dad" 2
"Um, okay." President Shi Mai’er didn’t quite hear, nodded, and responded casually.
But a few seconds later, as if suddenly realizing, he looked up in surprise at Song Yinyin and asked, "Yinyin, what did you just call me?"
Tears gathered in Song Yinyin’s eyes, her lips trembled, and she called out once more, "Dad!"
This time, her voice was firm and clear.
"Yinyin... my daughter..." President Shi Mai’er called out excitedly, his shoulders trembling as he reached out and embraced Song Yinyin.
Song Yinyin couldn’t control her emotions either, and tears streamed down like rain.
Finally...
She had finally found her biological father.
"Dad..."
"Yinyin..."
The two embraced each other tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably, both too choked to speak.
Lu Jihan and Shana stood just outside the door, quietly watching the two inside the room, naturally having witnessed everything that transpired.
When Song Yinyin called out "Dad," Shana’s eyebrows slightly twitched, and her hands at her sides clenched tightly.
After a long time, she took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the man beside her said, "I’m surprised, that day you could have pretended you knew nothing and let us leave for the Imperial City, that way you would forever be the President’s only daughter. But why did you reveal the mystery of Yinyin’s parentage?"
Shana was startled, turned back, and looked at the man with his hands in his pockets.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Aren’t you afraid that when Yinyin knows the President is her biological father, she’ll take away the President’s affection for you?"
"Afraid."
Shana was candid.
"I am indeed afraid, but what I’m more afraid of is that if I just let you go, my father would live his whole life in remorse, guilt, and self-reproach. He’s my father too, which daughter doesn’t love her own father? I don’t want to see his remaining years filled with regret, guilt, and self-blame. The reason is that simple, are you satisfied?"
She glared at Lu Jihan indignantly.
A faint smile played on Lu Jihan’s lips all along.
He knew Shana wasn’t as bad as she appeared, she just wouldn’t admit it.
He nodded slightly without speaking.
Shana huffed, turned, and went to the downstairs hall.
President Shi Mai’er was very happy and warmly invited Song Yinyin, Lu Jihan and his wife, as well as Song Dabai, along with Lu Jinyan, Shen Kang, Wen Duoduo, and Ji Tingfeng to a farewell banquet at the best restaurant in the capital of S Country.
Sitting at the large round dining table, President Shi Mai’er remarked emotionally, "Let’s consider this as our family feast, everyone, don’t be restrained."
Song Yinyin nudged Song Dabai and said, "Dabai, do you remember what Mommy told you earlier?"
"Oh."
Song Dabai nodded, poured a glass of mango juice, and ran to President Shi Mai’er, saying, "Grandpa, this is the mango juice I poured for you."
"Good boy."
President Shi Mai’er took the juice with one hand, pinched Song Dabai’s tender cheeks with the other, and gently stroked his hair, growing more fond of this grandson.
Beside them, Shana pretended to be angry and stared at Song Dabai, "Little devil, what about me? Shouldn’t you start calling me Auntie?"
Song Dabai pouted disagreeably, "I don’t want a vixen as my aunt, bleh—"
He stuck out his tiny red tongue and made a face.
