Chapter 220: Gaining and Losing is the Most Painful
Si Nian stood at the door of Huo Beixiao's room, watching her father walk towards the bedroom. She couldn't tell if her father was angry or not, as the door was open anyway... Si Nian clapped her hands carelessly and said, "Dad has gone home, so everything should be fine."
Besides, to be honest, it wasn't her fault. It was just that she met a weirdo while going out for dinner.
We are being targeted for no apparent reason, and it would be hard to justify not fighting back.
Besides, she didn't actually do anything.
But it seems that Miss Ella's defense is easily broken, and it's not her fault.
Huo Beixiao leaned against the door frame: "If you say it's okay, then it's okay."
He didn't care anyway. If this so-called king couldn't protect Nian Nian, he and Zhou Jinan would not let go of the so-called Ella.
He doesn't care about these earls and nobles.
"It's not like I can just say whatever I want. Anyway, Dad has gone home, so let's just forget about what happened today. That Ella is really outrageous. I don't know what she's thinking all day. She went to my dad to complain about me. How could she succeed?"
Si Nian couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said this.
There's nothing I can do. It's my parents' fault that they are the king and queen of a country. In ancient times, I would be a little princess at the same level.
What else could I be afraid of, Ella?
This Ella should be afraid of her. However, it feels like this person is coveting her position. Does he want to be a princess?
But she is the only daughter her parents have.
Huo Beixiao looked at Si Nian with interest and found that her mood had changed a lot.
"Didn't you want to acknowledge your uncles and aunts before? Why is it so easy for you to call them mom and dad now, and you're even... complaining?"
But this is a good sign, isn't it? It means that Nian Nian is really making progress and knows how to love someone. No matter who that person is, it's a good thing.
Si Nian's face turned red instantly. This person exposed her past.
It’s disgusting, very disgusting!
So annoying!
"Is it none of your business? I suddenly feel like a child with parents is a treasure, isn't that okay?"
Si Nian stiffened her neck and retorted to Huo Beixiao. Her emotions came out quickly.
She suddenly looked a little depressed, and a trace of sadness seemed to flash across her eyes, an emotion that Huo Beixiao could not understand.
"Huo Beixiao, you don't know the feeling of gaining and losing. Nothing is more heartbreaking than gaining and then losing the love of your family."
Whether it was her in the real world or Si Nian in the novel world, they both had received family love, but they lost it.
Si Nian in the novel world was fine, at least she had gotten what she wanted, and the Si family did not abandon her, but in reality she was abandoned by her biological parents.
And she was not as talented as the original owner, who could not easily survive by starving herself. She could only rely on the fact that she got into a 985 university, and then was luckier than others to get into a better company, and then her salary gradually increased. In the end, she died suddenly at her workplace!
Huo Beixiao was silent...
Yes, there is nothing more painful than to gain and then lose.
He had never experienced it, he had never experienced the love of family. He was able to pass through his infancy safely because of the kindness of his nanny.
Otherwise...he would not be able to live a healthy life.
It’s a pity that the nanny was killed by her when he was still able to remember, and he would never experience that warm and familiar feeling again.
He didn't know what secrets Si Nian had, but he could feel that Nian Nian was very cautious in dealing with all her feelings. She was afraid to invest more, so she just gave up and lived alone without any cares.
"So, I am very cautious about family affection. Even if they are my biological parents, I will doubt whether they really like me as a daughter, and whether they will abandon me just because I am a girl like others.
Aren't there many such things in today's society? How can I dare to trust a pair of parents who are strangers to me..." Si Nian chuckled, squinting his eyes and looking much happier: "But they are not. It was just their negligence that they didn't check whether the child who died was their own child...
Why can't I accept that? I want to try it too...it must be so blissful to hug my parents and act like a spoiled brat."
But she is not very familiar with her parents yet, so this wish may not be easy to realize.
Anyway, she won't suffer any loss, right? She is already a person with a heart as hard as iron. Even if they really plot against her, she is alone, how can they plot against her?
"Then I think... you can experience it now."
Huo Beixiao suddenly looked behind him without saying a word, but his eyes told Si Nian that something was going on behind the scenes.
Si Nian turned around curiously!
"!!!"
┗|｀O′|┛ Ouch~~~!
What kind of large-scale social death scene is this!
She finally managed to express her true feelings, and her parents heard it?
She covered her face and looked at Huo Beixiao. This bastard, why didn't he remind her!
She now wishes she could find a hole to crawl into. This is extremely socially unacceptable. Is it possible? Can they still play in a friendly manner?
This is just a private conversation, which cannot be told to anyone else. But this guy didn't even remind her and let her... be heard.
"Dad, Mom...why are you here...?"
Si Nian pursed her lips and looked at them, her smile was very awkward and ugly.
She didn't know how to smile at Zhou Lanyi and Bo Rui, nor did she know how to explain...
Zhou Lanyi suddenly stepped forward and hugged Si Nian in her arms: "My daughter, I'm sorry for making you suffer over the years."
Si Nian awkwardly placed her hand on Zhou Lanyi's back: "Ah... Mom, you heard what I said. Don't take it to heart. I was just joking with Huo Beixiao."
She glared at Huo Beixiao, hoping she could give an explanation.
However, Huo Beixiao had no intention of explaining at all, and even... looked like he was enjoying the show!
Si Nian widened her eyes, unable to believe that this was Huo Beixiao's reaction. He actually let her solve the problem alone?
"Good boy, do whatever you want in the future. Your parents are here to help you."
Bo Rui felt very guilty. If he had not discovered his daughter in Huo Beixiao's room and come to check on her out of concern with his wife, he might not have heard his daughter's true words.
He felt very uncomfortable when he heard those words.
He really wanted to tell Nian Nian that she didn't abandon them because she was a daughter. In fact, they were very happy because she was a daughter. He always wanted a daughter like Lan Yi. How could he dislike that she was a daughter?
But... they also experienced more than 20 years of despair. During the more than 20 years since losing their daughter, neither he nor Lan Yi had a good time.
He is now extremely grateful that it was not his child who died.
Even though that was someone else's child, there was nothing we could do about it dying of illness...
"Mom and Dad, don't take what I said just now to heart. I know you treat me very well. I just..."
To be honest, I'm no longer at the age to act like a spoiled child.
She really didn't know what to say, nor how to explain...
What's more, to be honest, it would be a bit difficult for her to tell her who to hug and act coquettishly now.
Ever since her parents abandoned her, she lost the right to act like a spoiled child. Over the years, she has become accustomed to it.
So, if you ask her to change, she really can't do it in a short time.
"No, Nian Nian, I also want to experience the feeling of my daughter acting coquettishly towards me. I have been muddle-headed for more than 20 years and have never experienced what it feels like for my daughter to act coquettishly towards me. I..."
Zhou Lanyi hugged Si Nian, her eyes full of love and affection.
Si Nian: "..."
[Help! I really don’t know how to explain this. What should I do...]
"I want to act like a spoiled child, but shouldn't that be...unintentional? I can't force myself to act like a spoiled child!"
Huo Beixiao narrowed his eyes slightly and was in a good mood.
"Auntie, you'll make Nian Nian feel embarrassed."
Seeing that Si Nian was in a difficult situation, Huo Beixiao spoke up to help.
Zhou Lanyi was stunned and looked at Huo Beixiao in disbelief. Why was it that this man always stood up for Nian Nian just right?
Could it be...it shouldn't be like this? Why could Huo Beixiao hear Nian Nian's inner thoughts?
It shouldn’t be, I’m just overthinking it.
Si Nian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mom!"
So let me go quickly, I really don’t know how to act like a spoiled child!
You wait for me to practice, maybe you can succeed after practicing.
Zhou Lanyi then gave up on her daughter's coquettish experience card... but it didn't work.
It's a bit unpleasant.
Bo Rui also advised: "Lan Yi, Nian Nian is right beside us, there is no need to rush, just be good."
I guess Nian Nian never acted like a spoiled child during the time she was at the Si family. It seemed like the Si family didn't treat Nian Nian very well.
Zhou Lanyi curled her lips and accepted it reluctantly.
Okay then... let's leave it at that for now.
Anyway, my daughter has been found, so is there still no chance?
Si Nian breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you very much!
She really couldn't force herself to act coquettishly, at least not now.
Seeing that her mother didn't ask for anything more, Si Nian finally felt a little relieved.
"Dad, have those councilors and earls left yet?" Si Nian quickly tried to find a topic...
"Well, I've already left. Those people wanted to embarrass you, but they also wanted to see if I agree."
Bo Rui's face turned cold instantly, and he immediately had a visual of the king's majesty without even getting angry.
"Oh, that's good." Si Nian felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, Dad, I've caused you trouble."
"Silly girl, what trouble is it? You are my daughter. I can cover for you no matter how big a trouble you get into."
But... Bo Rui suddenly looked at Huo Beixiao: "I'm just curious, Huo Beixiao, why are you here with my daughter?"
