Chapter 894: Chapter 124: Yiyi, Do You Want Me to Get on My Knees and Beg You?

Little Gege is his girlfriend now, and they’re living together and sleeping together? Dad still won’t give up? Really!

Si Nan, "..."

Rong Rui’s sudden action surprised Tang Yige, who looked down at Rong Rui in confusion.

Rong Rui immediately widened his eyes and looked at Yige with a pure and innocent expression, fluttering his eyelashes with all sorts of playful innocence, "Little Gege, why aren’t you holding me today?"

"..." Tang Yige was taken aback, then a smile spread across her face, "You..."

"Forget it, you’ve been holding me these past few days, you must be tired." Seeing Tang Yige’s eyes light up, Rong Rui quickly corrected himself in fear.

Tang Yige, "..."

All that excitement for nothing!

She hasn’t had enough cuddling yet!

...

After breakfast, perhaps fearing being dragged back to the room by Yige, Rong Rui quickly bolted out with the bowl and ran to the big tree in the yard, fighting against it.

Actually, Yige didn’t intend to restrict him anymore.

Doing so earlier was nothing but joy, happiness, and disbelief.

She was worried that it was all just a dream she conjured up.

Only by holding Rong Rui tightly in her arms, seeing him every second she was awake, could she feel it was real.

This adorable, sometimes mischievous little guy, whom she immediately felt connected to and fond of, was her child...

No one could understand her joy and gratitude for regaining what she lost.

With Rong Rui,

Tang Yige suddenly felt she had nothing to complain about.

All the hardships she endured before, she could let go of, and find solace in.

Most importantly,

With Rong Rui, she could once again see the future, see hope.

She regained her fighting spirit and began to plan for her and Rong Rui’s future.

This life, filled with plans, hope, and direction, left Tang Yige brimming with energy.

"Yige."

The man’s refined yet tense voice came from the side.

Tang Yige withdrew her gaze from Rong Rui and slowly looked at Si Nan, who was sitting beside her. Her eyes were calm, with no ups or downs.

Seeing this,

Si Nan’s heart clenched slightly, his voice hoarse when he spoke again, "Can we talk?"

Tang Yige was silent for a few seconds and said, "I just have something to talk to you about too."

Hearing this, Si Nan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he looked at Yige questioningly.

Tang Yige pressed her lips together, "You go first, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhang Lan originally wanted to clear the dishes but hesitated to approach, so she washed her hands and left the dining hall.

"... You go first." Si Nan looked at her intently and said softly.

"Very well."

Tang Yige nodded and said straightforwardly, "I want custody of Little Rui."

Si Nan, "..." His eyes suddenly became intense, deeply fixed on Yige.

"I can take care of Little Rui on my own and am confident in providing him with the best growing environment. You’re Little Rui’s father; you have the right to visit him anytime, and I won’t stop you." Tang Yige said.

"I don’t quite understand, could you clarify a bit more?" Si Nan stared closely at Yige.

Tang Yige looked at his slightly tense face, her fingers gradually curling in her palm, her tone calm, "You know too, I don’t have the ability to bear children, and Little Rui is my only child in this life. I can’t let you have custody of him. You’re still young, you’ll get married someday and have many children. But I only have Little Rui. I’m making this request, hoping you can understand."

"Do you think I can understand?"

Si Nan’s deep voice was hoarse, bearing some unspoken emotion.

Tang Yige glanced at his fist clenched tightly on his lap, observing his knuckles turning white, her long lashes slightly obscuring her eyes, "You’re a lawyer; you should understand better than anyone that if a child’s mother insists on having custody, even through legal proceedings, in the end, the judge will award the custody to the mother. If you can understand, that would be for the best. If not, there is no other way."

The implication of Tang Yige’s words.

If he couldn’t understand and insisted on fighting for custody of Little Rui with her, they would have to go through legal proceedings.

Si Nan’s temples throbbed with bulging veins as he restrained himself, his eyes turning an unusual red as he stared at Tang Yige.

"Yiyi, does it really have to be this way? Do we really have to be like this?"

Tang Yige stared at him, saying nothing, but her eyes were firm.

Si Nan slammed his fist on the dining table, creating a dull thud.

Tang Yige looked at the veins on his hand, her brow furrowing slightly as she looked at Si Nan, "You don’t have to give me an answer right now, take a few days to think it over, and then tell me your decision."

At this point, Tang Yige paused, "Also, I sold the studio a few days ago, so I might have to stay here for some time. But don’t worry, I’ll pay rent and for me and Zhang Auntie’s living expenses. Once I find a place and renovate it, I’ll immediately take Little Rui and Aunt Zhang and move out."

Tang Yige pursed her lips, going on, "I could take Little Rui and stay at a hotel, but that’s not ideal. It’s not good for kids to have too much hotel food or restaurant meals..."

"Are you done?" Si Nan’s eyes were dry and red.

Tang Yige frowned, "Of course, if you want me to leave now, then I..."

"Tang Yige!"

Si Nan couldn’t bear it anymore, glaring at Tang Yige, growling, "Don’t forget, I’m Little Rui’s father!"

Tang Yige’s heart trembled slightly, she pressed her lips, quietly looking at him.

Tang Yige didn’t speak.

Si Nan didn’t say anything more either.

In fact, he was resisting the urge to speak.

He was worried that he might say something irreversible that would hurt her again!

"...What did you want to talk about?"

After a long while, Tang Yige spoke softly.

Si Nan still had his fists clenched, his whole body and face tight with tension. He stared at Yige with a voice filled with restraint, "Start over. Let’s start over."

Tang Yige remained silent.

Si Nan stared at her calm face, emotions of anger, panic, and fear entangled within him.

Anger, because she had already mapped out her future in just a few days.

And he wasn’t part of that plan.

Panic and fear, because she’s genuinely done with him, she no longer loves him.

"Yiyi, we had too many misunderstandings before. I didn’t do well, didn’t give you enough trust. Because of my stubbornness and persistence, I brought you great harm, and also made you... suffer immensely. These are all my mistakes. From now on, I will treat you and our child twice as well, care for and compensate you both."

Si Nan looked at Tang Yige, each word clear and heartfelt.

"Yiyi, please give me another chance, I beg you."

Si Nan’s eyes were ablaze with redness as he spoke in a hoarse voice.

Tang Yige’s fingertips dug deep into her palms, yet her face remained calm, devoid of any extra emotions.

"Yiyi, do I need to kneel down to beg you?" Si Nan stared at Yige, his expression so serious that he genuinely seemed ready to kneel in front of Yige and plead with her.

Proud as Si Nan was, inherently chauvinistic, dignified and proud Si Nan... how could he do such a thing?

The left side of her chest was overwhelmed with a sharp pain.

Tang Yige couldn’t deceive herself, she felt that pain.

She thought she controlled the expression on her face very well.

But she didn’t know that when Si Nan spoke those humble words, her eyes were already red.

Even during the days when she loved him to the point of life or death, when the world could crumble and she couldn’t live without him,

She had never begged so humbly!

Maybe if it wasn’t Si Nan saying it, Yige wouldn’t feel anything.

But those words were indeed spoken by Si Nan...

Yige lightly parted her lips, took a breath to mask it, and stared at Si Nan, "Alright."

Si Nan pressed his lips into a straight line, moved aside the cane beside his chair, and bent his body downwards as if about to kneel.

Suddenly,

Tang Yige gasped, her eyes red, as she stood up from her chair, "I didn’t ask you to kneel!"

"..."

Si Nan, jaw tense, lifted his red eyes to stare at Tang Yige.

Tang Yige clenched her hands tightly, looked at Si Nan with trembling eyes, her voice quivering uncontrollably as she spoke, "I mean, I can give you a chance."

Si Nan’s back twitched violently.
