Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Tangyuan Needs Daddy

"This..."

If Bai Ruoxi really didn’t want to have anything to do with Quan Jinbei, Shi Yaoguang’s arrangement was naturally excellent.

But, the words she said weren’t sincere.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have eagerly run to the company to bring Tang Nade lunch and incidentally create this "chance encounter."

Shi Yaoguang seemed not to notice how awful her complexion had become, very naturally planning Bai Ruoxi’s future.

But this wasn’t what Bai Ruoxi wanted; she wrestled with indecision for a while before deciding to tell the truth, "I can indeed raise Tangyuan on my own to grow up into an adult, but... a child’s growth requires the company of both parents."

What Bai Ruoxi implied was that she wanted to find a father for Tangyuan, not for her own sake.

Quan Jinbei casually added a comment, "Tang Nade is very willing to become the father of your son, to accompany him as he grows up."

Shi Yaoguang chimed in, "Judging from Tang Nade’s behavior, he gets along very well with your son. If you hadn’t run into us today, I suppose you two would be getting married before long."

"So, isn’t it good to maintain the status quo?"

"This..." Bai Ruoxi bit her lip and showed an embarrassed expression.

Shi Yaoguang’s eyebrows lifted, thoughtfully, "Is this very troubling for you?"

"What Tangyuan needs is his biological father. No matter how good Tang Nade is, he is just his uncle."

As soon as Bai Ruoxi finished speaking, the door to the office was opened from the outside.

Tang Nade looked stunned and lost.

It turned out...

He was only fit to be an uncle?

He had thought that he had a chance...

Bai Ruoxi naturally understood Tang Nade’s disappointment.

But now wasn’t the time to pay attention to his feelings.

If she paid attention to Tang Nade’s emotions now, she wouldn’t have a chance to force a showdown later.

Now was undoubtedly the most suitable time.

Bai Tangyuan, who followed behind Tang Nade, heard Bai Ruoxi’s words and showed a look of confusion, "Mommy, Uncle Tang Nade is very nice to us; I think he could also be my father."

After saying that, he added, "As long as you’re willing."

Bai Ruoxi’s face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seems like Bai Ruoxi hadn’t expected her own son to undercut her like this.

Bai Ruoxi indeed hadn’t expected this and thus her expression darkened somewhat.

Bai Tangyuan, noticing his mommy’s mood was off, sensitively looked towards Shi Yaoguang.

"Did you upset my mommy?"

Shi Yaoguang laughed softly, countering, "Why do you think that?"

"My uncles are all very nice to mommy; only witches would deliberately target her."

What he meant was, in his eyes, Shi Yaoguang was akin to a witch.

"Little guy, it’s not nice to point fingers and curse.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him smilingly, the aura that radiated from him causing Bai Tangyuan to subconsciously feel a twinge of fear.

He didn’t know what that feeling was; even when facing teachers whom other children were afraid of, he never felt this way.

It was as if...

Someone had grabbed him by the scruff of his neck in a threatening manner.

The feeling of his hair standing on end, even as time passed, he still remembered it.

Bai Ruoxi looked at her son who instinctively showed fear and frowned.

She looked at Shi Yaoguang displeased, "Tangyuan is still a child, don’t scare him."

"So what if he’s a child? Are children not allowed to be frightened?"

Bai Ruoxi listened, baffled by a sea of question marks.

What did she mean, you can’t intimidate children?

Could it be that Shi Yaoguang actually thought intimidating little friends was something to be proud of?

"Little friend..." Shi Yaoguang glanced at Bai Ruoxi disdainfully before looking at Bai Tangyuan, "Are you afraid of me?"

After two seconds of eye contact with her, Bai Tangyuan suddenly burst into tears, crying loudly without any warning.

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu~ Mommy, Tangyuan is scared!"

Bai Tangyuan threw himself into Bai Ruoxi’s embrace, his eyes filled with both hatred and fear when he looked at Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him and curled her lips into a smile, "Little friend, let me tell you some bad news."

Bai Tangyuan’s small arms and legs trembled, and he dared not meet her gaze.

At this moment, Shi Yaoguang resembled an evil stepmother, her smile extraordinarily unrestrained, "Your Uncle Tang Nade may not be able to be your dad."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nade, Bai Ruoxi, and Bai Tangyuan all turned to look at her in unison.

They all wore expressions that had no idea why she would say such a thing out of the blue.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged her shoulders and shared her thoughts.

"Your mother might not be very satisfied with your Uncle Tang Nade."

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness, "I think your Uncle Tang Nade is quite good, but if your mother isn’t satisfied, he can’t become your dad."

Bai Tangyuan was a smart kid.

But, he was still just a kid.

Therefore, when he heard Shi Yaoguang’s somewhat awkward words, he couldn’t help but ask questioningly, "Why are you telling me all this? Could it be..."

He thought hard and finally came up with an answer, "Could it be that you’re the fiancée that Tang Nade’s family found for Uncle Tang Nade?"

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang’s gaze inadvertently fell on Tang Nade, and she spoke with profound meaning, "So Mr. Tang Nade also has a fiancée, huh."

Being suddenly brought into the conversation, Tang Nade felt caught off guard.

However, he quickly regained his composure and started explaining the so-called matter of his fiancée.

He did have a fiancée.

But...

"No buts," said Shi Yaoguang with a serious expression, "regardless of whether you like your fiancée or not, since you two are engaged, you should fulfil the responsibilities of a fiancé, instead of treating her with neglect for any reason."

Hearing this, Tang Nade felt somewhat ashamed.

He indeed hadn’t treated his fiancée well.

Even if she wasn’t the wife he wanted, she was nominally his fiancée after all...

But, he still wanted to marry the goddess of his dreams.

Shi Yaoguang saw right through his thoughts.

At the same time, she looked down on his mentality.

"Everyone has the right to pursue love, but before that, please be resolute in your position," she said calmly, yet her tone was frighteningly stern, "Before you pursue the love you desire, at least give a proper account to your fiancée with whom you already have a public relationship, instead of letting the child of the woman you like maliciously slander her!"

At first, Tang Nade felt that Shi Yaoguang might be making a big deal out of nothing.

But later, he came to the realization that the issue lay with him.

Indeed, he hadn’t handled this matter well.

As Tang Nade reflected on himself, Bai Tangyuan seemed to straighten out his thoughts.

In his eyes, there was only one reason for Shi Yaoguang’s agitation!

That was...

She was Tang Nade’s fiancée!

With this thought, the look in Bai Tangyuan’s eyes was filled with disdain.

"Auntie, I know that Uncle Tang Nade likes my mommy more than you, but there’s nothing that can be done about that, who can resist my mommy’s charm? It’s very normal for Uncle Tang Nade to be unable to resist my mommy’s beauty. If you can’t even accept this fact, then that only shows that you’re not suitable for Mr. Tang Nade."
