Could there be something wrong with his eyes? Otherwise, how could he have seen her?

Xia Qiu Ling turned her head around as if she had sensed something. She saw Si Chen Ao standing there in a daze, while a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. He immediately reprimanded in a low voice, "Come over here quickly. What are you standing there for?"

Only then did Si Chen Ao come back to his senses, walking over with large strides, "Mother, why did you suddenly come over?"

Right now, she should be one of her sisters roaming all over the place, so there was no reason for her to look for him. Furthermore, even if she had something to do, she could just call him and ask him directly.

However, he only thought it through in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

If something really happened, he believed that even if he didn't ask, Xia Qiu Ling would have said it herself.

"It's not convenient to talk here. Follow me." Xia Qiu Ling looked around and saw that there were too many people at the company's entrance. There were too many people around, so she frowned without a trace.

Finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards a nearby black sports car.

In the past, whether it was jewelry or a bag, Xia Qiu Ling always paid attention to the eye-catching and high-profile luxury. The sports car was no exception, but today, she drove a black sports car that was relatively low-key?

Si Chen Ao suddenly felt that the matter that Xia Qiu Ling came to find him for today was not simple at all.

He was still thinking about the unfinished work in the company, but now he sent a message to his assistant, telling him to take care of it. Then he started to think about what Xia Qiu Ling was going to tell him after a while.

Along the way, Xia Qiu Ling seemed to be texting someone, so she didn't pay much attention to him. He just let his imagination run wild. The more he thought, the darker his eyes became.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a secluded coffee shop. Xia Qiu Ling got off the car and didn't forget to look around. "Come with me quickly."

With the question in his mind, Si Chen Ao got off the car and followed Xia Qiu Ling to the coffee shop's entrance.

On a large bulletin board, it was clearly stated that several coffee shops had been booked. No one was allowed to enter, so it was very apologetic and the like.

"Welcome …" The waiter was well-trained and had a good attitude. However, just as he was about to say something about the announcement, Xia Qiuling interrupted him, "I have an appointment with Mr. Xiongba. Here is my name card."

The attendant looked up and the smile on his face widened, and his attitude became even more cordial, "It's Ms. Xia. Esteemed customer, please come in!"

She then led the way into the coffee shop.

Not far away, a figure stood in an inconspicuous corner. It didn't attract the slightest bit of attention.

Seeing that someone had already walked in, he muttered to himself, "These two, why are they here? Auction? "It's not difficult for me, but it's going to take a bit of effort. Hopefully, I'll make it in time."

After he finished talking, he looked around and then hid himself. From start to finish, he didn't attract anyone's attention.

Naturally, Xia Qiu Ling and Luo Qiu had no idea that they were being watched by a pair of eyes. Furthermore, they couldn't shake it off.

At this moment, under the warm guidance of the waiter, they had already arrived at a tranquil private room.

Needless to say, although this coffee shop was quite remote, the environment was quite good, and the service was also very good. Even the environment outside the large French windows in the room was very good.

Si Chen Ao only took a few glances before retracting his gaze, his gaze fixated on the strange man who was sitting there.

For some reason, this man gave him a strange feeling. He had been looking at him for a long time. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this man was not simple at all.

Even though he was sitting there quietly, he gave off a mysterious aura. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Just a glance at him was enough to make his heart tremble.

"Xiongba, long time no see." Xia Qiu Ling seemed to be touched as she pulled Si Chen who was beside her and sat down.

After they sat down.

Xiongba didn't say anything and just stared at Si Chen Ao for a moment. Then he turned to Xia Qiu Ling and asked: "He is Chen Ao?"

Xia Qiuling looked at Xiongba and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything and only nodded.

Xiongba sighed as if he was talking to himself, "He's already so old."

Xiongba? He really did live up to his name.

Si Chen sat there proudly as he sized up Xiongba, his eyebrows knitted together slightly. Listening to the conversation between these two, he had a premonition that he was going to find out some kind of secret today.

Xia Qiu Ling and Xiongba looked at each other, then turned to look at Si Chen Ao. There was a trace of incomprehension in their tone, but they said lightly, "Chen Ao, call me father."

When Si Chen Ao heard up to this point, he couldn't help but be astonished, "Wh-what?"

Wasn't his father in power?!

"Ai!" Xiongba, who was standing to the side, sighed, "So many years have passed, it's time to tell him."

After a while, she said, "Cheng Ao, actually, Si Qiong is not your father, he is your real father. Originally, I thought that this secret would rot in my stomach forever, but I never thought that there would be a day I would tell you this."

When Si Chen Ao heard this, he was even more shocked. Although he knew that Xia Qiu Ling had brought him here in secret for some reason, he never expected that it would be this.

"How, how is this possible?" Si Chen Ao couldn't help but mutter to himself. He didn't think that the father he had been calling his father for so many decades was actually not his father. One could imagine how shocked he was at this moment!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer at himself. Then what did he count as? Didn't he mean that he couldn't even be considered as the illegitimate child of the Empire's authority?

Looking at this strange man in front of him, it was no wonder that he had a strange feeling when he first laid eyes on him. Now that he looked at him carefully, this strange man's face was carved from the same mold as his.

"Chen Ao, hurry up and call for father!" Seeing that Si Chen Ao was not knowing what to laugh about, Xia Qiu Ling's face revealed a hint of dissatisfaction as she hurriedly urged him.

However, Si Chen Ao was unable to call out, and had no intention of opening his mouth.

Although a trace of disappointment flashed across Xiongba's face, he saw that Xia Qiu Ling was about to urge him again, so he waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's within reason that the child is having a hard time accepting it."

"He looks like me, haha. He looks so much like me." Xiongba sized up Si Chen Ao, and after a long while, he happily laughed.

Xia Qiu Ling could not help but roll her eyes at Xiongba, but there was no anger in her tone. "It's your own, how can it not be like you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiongba rubbed his nose, "That's true."

He had only recently found out from Xia Qiu Ling that he had another son, so he rushed over to meet her. It could be said that he found her pleasing to the eye and made her happy to see him.

Speaking of which, he hadn't been this happy in a long time.

However, at this moment, Si Chen Ao suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

"What are you doing?" Xia Qiu Ling was shocked and also stood up.

Si Chen Ao's body stiffened, "Sorry, I don't recognize this father. As for you, I don't care what you like."
