Gu Lin didn't understand Shi Niannian's meaning and replied, "Of course he is your biological father."
Shi Niannian "hmmphed" and said, "A biological father who sees his daughter, missing for twenty years, would remain silent and wear a stern face? I even suspect he deliberately abandoned me. Could it be he prefers sons over daughters?"
In the room upstairs, everyone's eyes turned to Si Zhendong. Si Zhendong caught Xia Shiying's doubtful gaze, felt disconcerted, and hurriedly explained, "Wife, how could I have abandoned Niannian? Of all the children, I loved Niannian the most, remember?"
Xia Shiying withdrew her gaze; when she had given birth to Si Fan and Niannian, Si Zhendong would only hold Niannian, barely even glancing at Si Fan. Saying he preferred girls over boys would be more accurate.
Si Mu and Si Fan also quickly looked away. They dared not mock their biological father and could only suppress their laughter inwardly.
