After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 351: Reunion
Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Reunion
"The fire was so fierce, it is normal for one’s appearance to be completely altered, and since Bai Family’s assistant wanted to disguise Ah Li as Bai Yiweng, he naturally had to make him look like Bai Yiweng."
Sang Qiao calmly explained in the face of the skepticism, knowing that the sudden change of Young Master Bai into their Ah Li would be hard for anyone to believe.
Five years had passed, and everyone had come to accept that Ah Li was no longer alive; suddenly being told he was still alive was both a surprise and a shock.
But for her, it was only a surprise.
"I will look into this matter thoroughly, if Bai Family’s assistant dares to do such a thing, causing our family to be separated for so many years, I will definitely not let him off!"
Mrs. Si was the most accepting; she clenched her teeth, her eyes gradually reddening.
She had not expected that her son could still be alive; this was undoubtedly a surprise, but now seeing her son with another’s face took some getting used to.
"I have already promised the assistant that the Si Family will not pursue him, if it weren’t for him bringing out Ah Li, we may have feared..." Sang Qiao did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood.
Everyone fell silent in an instant; they were all grateful beings. They resented the assistant for causing them such pain, but they had to admit that without him, Ah Li might no longer be alive.
"Alright, let’s not pursue it then." Old Madam Si was the first to speak; she looked at her grandson’s unfamiliar face with an indescribable sense of oddity.
He was her grandson, yet he felt like a stranger.
"Are you really my dad?" Si Tiantian went over and took the hand of the unfamiliar man, looking up into his eyes filled with curiosity.
Bai Yiweng looked at the small hand holding his, feeling no repulsion, and gently nodded, "Hmm."
"So the one who did the paternity test with me at the hospital just now was also you?" Si Tiantian’s heart was indescribably happy; she too had a father.
But why had her mother previously claimed her father was no longer present?
"It was me." Bai Yiweng was usually a man of few words, but at this moment facing his biological daughter, he was unsure how to relate to her.
More so because he was a blank slate regarding this family, and this little girl in front of his eyes was not spoiled like Bai Youwei, but was incredibly well-behaved instead.
"When you’re free, I will take you for a check-up," Father Si’s suspicion was still strong, even though everyone had already confirmed that the person before them was indeed their Ah Li.
He could not simply acknowledge him just yet; he needed more convincing evidence.
But not daring to say it outright, he found a secondary excuse, merely a health check-up.
"What about Ah Li’s face..." Mrs. Si looked at her son’s unfamiliar face.
Then she thought of how her son had barely survived a grim ordeal; making him undergo surgery to restore his original face would be another hardship.
"Ah Li doesn’t remember his past now; give him some time to recall, and as for his face, there’s no rush."
Sang Qiao was no longer willing to let Ah Li take any risks; any surgery involved risks, and those many years without Ah Li, she remembered him every day.
Now that he was back, everything else was tolerable for her.
"What Qiaoqiao said is right, let Ah Li go rest for now." Old Madam Si’s eyes were filled with tears.
"Hmm, Ah Li, I’ll take you upstairs to see our room," Sang Qiao said to the man standing quietly behind her.
She knew this place was still strange to Ah Li, but his choice to follow her home was enough; everything else could be thought through slowly.
"Okay." Si Chenli lifted his legs and followed her upstairs.
Si Tiantian immediately followed with her short legs, as Dad still felt a stranger to her, and she wanted to warm his heart.
They soon reached the room, which Sang Qiao had kept in its original layout all these years.
As soon as Si Chenli stepped in, a sense of familiarity washed over him, and a slight headache began, with fragments of memories surfacing, all featuring the same woman as the protagonist.
He unconsciously turned to look at Sang Qiao behind him, his deep, bottomless dark eyes filled with her face.
"Do you feel familiar?" Sang Qiao asked with a gentle smile, her tone soft.
Her eyes were full of tenderness, not rushing him to remember anything, but gently standing by his side slowly accompanying him.
"Um, very familiar. Did I used to like you a lot?" Si Chenli gently ran his fingers over the desk.
The whole room seemed to be filled with their memories, including them embracing each other in sleep, each and every moment, with him being the proactive one.
Even if Sang Qiao’s gaze seemed cold, he didn’t feel discouraged, as if there were endless things to talk about with her.
"I liked you a lot, and I liked you too," Sang Qiao said, a faint smile curling her lips.
"Um." Si Chenli nodded, feeling more familiar here than at the Bai family’s place.
Even though his brain lacked memories, his body could still make the most honest choices.
"The day Tiantian was conceived, you were already not by my side, and I never got the chance to tell you, we have a daughter, she is very clever and sensible."
Sang Qiao drew her daughter, who had been standing by, closer, her voice sweet.
Tiantian’s face looked even more like Sang Qiao, with very little resemblance to Si Chenli.
Si Chenli looked down at his daughter, "Um, she is also very smart."
"You must be tired today, have a good rest. If you’re not comfortable sleeping in the same room, I can arrange a guest room for you or you can stay here."
Sang Qiao was considerate, not wanting to push too hard or scare him.
"I’ll stay in the guest room," Si Chenli said, still feeling the familiarity, but uncomfortable with the sudden transition from a friend’s wife to his own.
"Okay, I’ll have someone arrange that," Sang Qiao said softly then went out to find someone.
Leaving the father and daughter in the room to look at each other, Tiantian, despite meeting this man for the first time today, willingly grew closer to him upon knowing he was her father.
"Dad, Mom and I have missed you so much. She used to not dare tell me where you went until one day she took me to a cemetery, and I thought you would never come back."
"It’s my fault," Si Chenli reached out to lift his daughter up, letting her sit on his lap.
"It’s okay, I know Dad was hurt. It’s good that you are back."
Tiantian looked up with a joyful smile, now she’d have a dad, and Mom wouldn’t be sad anymore.
"Um, I will try to remember the things I’ve forgotten."
"Okay."
The beautiful and quiet atmosphere in the room was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside, and Si Jing burst through the door without even knocking, his eyes intently fixed on the man sitting on the bed.
"Brother, is that you?"
