Ning Guangyao stood there, motionless, as if he hadn't heard Yang Chen's words. After a long silence, he finally shook his head slightly under Yang Chen's expectant gaze.

"No, I won't go see her," Ning Guangyao said hoarsely, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.

"Why?" Yang Chen's face showed a trace of disappointment. "Are you still unwilling to acknowledge that she is your daughter?"

Ning Guangyao's eyes reddened, but his gaze was resolute, "Precisely because she is my daughter, I won't go see her."

Yang Chen felt a headache coming on, a wave of frustration overwhelming him, making it hard to hold back, "Premier Ning, do you know why I am willing to talk to you so much? Actually, with my temperament, I don't want to say so much to you, but I always felt that you were different from many others, and I should tell you these things.

"I think you should have known long ago that Ruoxi is your daughter. That's why, over the years, although you didn't go to see her, you must have secretly paved the way for her. That was also what her grandmother hoped for, using your power to protect Yu Lei International. Otherwise, with just Lin Zhiguo, it would have been impossible to support Ruoxi up to now.

"Since you always had her in your heart, and now that Ruoxi knows you are her biological father, yet you still refuse to see her, not even once, don't you think that's too cruel?!"

Ning Guangyao continued shaking his head, "What would it change if I saw her? Better not to see each other at all."

"Bullshit!" Yang Chen couldn't help but curse, "What kind of crap logic is that?! Just meeting once, do you think Ruoxi would cling to you, a premier, asking for anything? She only needs your acknowledgment, just a little comfort in her heart, to know that you haven't abandoned her. That's enough!"

"I have never abandoned her! But I can't see her!" Ning Guangyao shouted, "Feelings between people can't be controlled at will. Maybe I can, but that child is still so young. Can she control herself? If we meet once, there will be a second time, a third time... If others find out about our relationship, what will happen to my current job, my career, and my family?!

"How would those who support me think if they knew I had an illegitimate daughter? How would my wife view me? How would Guodong view me as his father? What would become of the Ning family?! How could I lead by example to those under me?!

"Yang Chen, you have to understand, I am not like you, free to do as you please. I am the premier of this country! The premier of Yanxia! What I do every day can affect the lives of millions of people! It can cause national disputes, even wars! How can I allow such a small mistake on myself?!"

"Anyone else saying those words to me, I might have ignored, but when this foolish woman said them, I couldn't resist," Yang Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, "You don't know how foolish she is. Since childhood, she believed a man who couldn't have children was her father. She was deceived by her beloved grandmother for over twenty years, thinking it was all real.

"She worked hard, staying up late, transforming herself into a viper in the business world, keeping people at arm's length. Unlike other girls her age who spend time on makeup, dating, going to clubs and bars, her life was only about work.

"But despite her hard work supporting a huge company, she still had to deal with a man who wasn't her real father, constantly dragging her down. That man hated her, resenting her for taking what he believed was his inheritance. Yet she endured it, giving him money, cars, letting him keep mistresses, only to be kidnapped and nearly killed by him."

Ning Guangyao lowered his head, holding his forehead as if he couldn't bear to listen anymore.

Yang Chen continued, "In such a so-called 'family' environment, this woman, after learning that Lin Kun wasn't her biological father, told me I shouldn't abandon my mother, saying that family bonds are hard to sever. How could I not be moved? How could I not acknowledge it? How could I refuse her? So I broke in and rescued my mother. And looking back, I think it was the right thing to do."

"Stop, stop," Ning Guangyao said painfully, wiping his eyes.

"Why not say it? Are you feeling guilty?" Yang Chen chuckled lightly, "Are you remembering how my mother was willing to use her body to shield me from bullets, or how she risked her reputation to live with me?"

"Yang Chen, I've already told you, I am different from others. Xuehua can, but I can't," Ning Guangyao replied.

Yang Chen continued, "Why can't you, as her biological father, do the same? Moreover, it's just a matter of meeting Ruoxi once. That woman may not say it, and she may appear cold, but inside, do you know how much she values her family? She won't expect anything from you. She doesn't need anything—what is the Ning family, or being the premier? She doesn't care! She just wants you to acknowledge with your own mouth that you are her father!

"Premier Ning, do you know? That day when you called and told Ruoxi that the medical record was fake, it was right when we had just confirmed you are her father!"

"What?" Ning Guangyao was stunned.

"That's right," Yang Chen said with a bitter smile, "Do you know how cruel you were to Ruoxi? She had just learned that you were the biological father who abandoned her and her mother years ago, and then you immediately told her the medical record was fake!

"In such a short time, you abandoned her twice in her life. What kind of heartless father abandons his own daughter twice in a row?!"
