Two years later.
Wen Yan returned to the country early after attending a fashion show abroad. Instead of telling Si Moyan, she had her driver take her directly to the Si Group.
When she walked through the doors of the Si Group, the receptionists were stunned.
The boss's wife was getting more and more beautiful.
Wearing a burgundy long dress with waist-length wavy hair, her palm-sized face was adorned with sunglasses. With fair skin, red lips, and white teeth, she looked bright and stunningly glamorous.
Even after having a child, her figure hadn't lost its shape at all; in fact, she had become even more curvaceous.
Slim where she should be slim, and plump where she should be plump—she was absolutely perfect.
"Mrs. Si."
The receptionist stood up to greet Wen Yan.
Wen Yan pushed her sunglasses to the top of her head, her beautiful fox-like eyes curving into a smile. "Hello."
The receptionist pressed the button for the exclusive elevator for her. "This way, Mrs. Si."
"Thank you."
Long after Wen Yan entered the elevator, the receptionist still couldn't look away.
Mrs. Si was truly beautiful and fragrant.
Wen Yan went straight to the CEO's office on the top floor.
Just as she was about to push the door open, she noticed that besides Si Moyan, there was also a provocatively dressed woman in the office.
The woman was sitting opposite Si Moyan, resting her cheek on her hand, staring intently at him. "President Si, I heard your wife can't give birth to a son. Would you consider divorcing her and forming a marriage alliance with our Shangguan family?"
The Shangguan family were overseas Chinese who had recently returned to invest domestically, having some business ties with the Si family.
Si Moyan's handsome face was cold and hostile. "Miss Shangguan, who told you my wife can't give birth to a son? It is I who doesn't want her to go through childbirth again. Having one precious daughter is enough for us. What era are we in now? Who still holds the sexist belief of favoring boys over girls? Furthermore, my Yaobao is better than any boy!"
Thinking of Yaobao, Wen Yan's eyes revealed a mix of doting affection and helplessness.
She and Si Moyan named her Si Yao, hoping to raise her into a refined lady of a prestigious family, but the little girl had absolutely nothing to do with being a lady.
At only two years old, she already had a very strong mind of her own.
She didn't like having long hair or wearing pretty dresses. Kids her age might not even be able to speak clearly, but her little mouth was incredibly articulate.
She perfectly inherited the strengths of both her and Si Moyan, being exceptionally spiritually gifted.
In the past, Wen Yan had to rely on a system to control ghosts, but Yaobao was born with the ability. Whenever evil spirits saw her, they would be so frightened they'd take a detour.
Wen Yan and Si Moyan always felt that their Yaobao's future cultivation and achievements would definitely surpass theirs.
"Hubby, I'm back!" Wen Yan pushed the door open and walked into the office.
It was Shangguan Rui's first time seeing Wen Yan in person, and she was so beautiful she practically glowed.
Si Moyan immediately walked over to Wen Yan, his large hand wrapping around her delicate shoulder. "Why did you come back early?"
Wen Yan wrapped her arms around the man's lean waist, her red lips curling slightly. "I wanted to give you a surprise. Who knew I'd hear Miss Shangguan saying I can't give birth to a son?"
Si Moyan sneered coldly. "Our Yaobao is worth ten of anyone else's sons."
Wen Yan smiled and nodded. "Exactly, our Yaobao is the most outstanding."
Si Moyan looked at Shangguan Rui with a frigid gaze. "Miss Shangguan, there is no need for our two families to cooperate anymore. Please see yourself out!"
Shangguan Rui stomped her foot in anger.
She scoffed inwardly. If she can't have a son, she can't have a son. What's this nonsense about one Yaobao being worth ten sons?
With such a massive family business, without a son, it would definitely fall into the hands of an outsider in the future.
In another twenty years, she didn't believe the Si family could continue to prosper.
A little girl would eventually have to marry into another family anyway.
Shangguan Rui drove away in a huff.
After driving a certain distance, she noticed a black sedan tailing her car.
She sped up, and the car behind her sped up too.
Shangguan Rui rolled down her window and looked into the rearview mirror.
The people in that car, perhaps sensing she was looking at them, suddenly accelerated with a whoosh and pulled up right beside her.
The back window of that car rolled down, revealing a delicate, jade-like little face wearing small sunglasses and sporting an ear-length bob.
The little girl looked somewhat familiar, like a perfect blend of Si Moyan and Wen Yan.
"Were you the one who said my mommy can't give birth to a son?" The little girl pushed her sunglasses to the top of her head, her bright, grape-like black eyes staring unblinkingly at Shangguan Rui.
Even though she was just a little kid, being stared at like that gave Shangguan Rui goosebumps all over her arms.
"Second Uncle, overtake her car!"
Si Jingyi raised an eyebrow. "You got it, little princess!"
With a roar of the engine, the car Si Jingyi was driving immediately overtook Shangguan Rui's car.
Shangguan Rui refused to accept defeat and tried to overtake them back, but no matter how much she accelerated, she couldn't outpace Si Jingyi.
Yaobao made a face at Shangguan Rui. "You suck."
Shangguan Rui was half-dead with anger.
Not wanting to bicker with a little brat, Shangguan Rui stopped racing Si Jingyi and drove her sports car back to her mid-mountain villa.
To her surprise, that little brat actually followed her.
Shangguan Rui got out of the car and marched aggressively over to Yaobao and Si Jingyi. "What are you two doing? Are you trying to trespass on private property?"
Yaobao got out of the car and stared at Shangguan Rui's villa for a moment. "Auntie, there are three ghosts in your house."
Shangguan Rui's mouth twitched.
If this little brat in front of her wasn't Si Moyan's daughter, she really would have slapped this little demon to death.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? This is my newly bought villa. I've lived here for days and haven't seen any ghosts. I just said your mom couldn't have a son, and you're trying to scare me like this? Everything I said is a fact. Are you trying to get back at me for your mom, you little imp?"
Si Jingyi stepped forward, pointing at Shangguan Rui's nose with a dark, handsome face. "I never hit women, but with your ugly face, I really want to slap you! So what if my sister-in-law doesn't have a son? Yaobao is the heir to our Si family. She's a thousand times better than a son! You're an outsider, so stop gossiping about our Si family!"
Seeing Si Jingyi looking like he was about to hit someone, Shangguan Rui couldn't be bothered with him.
She called her bodyguards over. "Don't let these two in!"
Yaobao took out a piece of chocolate and took a bite. "The bad auntie actually doesn't believe me. Those three ghosts will come out to find her tonight."
Yaobao could see that a certain seal in this villa had expired.
But it wouldn't be bad to let the bad auntie learn a lesson, to cure her of her severe sexist mindset.
What era was this? Why did someone absolutely have to have a son?
Her daddy, mommy, great-grandfather, maternal grandparents, little uncle, as well as her second, third, fourth, and fifth uncles, and her little auntie all said that she was their little princess and their pride!
"Little princess, are we going back now? Your parents just texted me to bring you home."
Yaobao shook her head. "Mommy just got back, let her enjoy some alone time with Daddy. Second Uncle, stay here with me. Tonight is definitely going to be very interesting."
Si Jingyi looked at the exquisitely carved little princess and nodded with a doting expression. "No problem. Whatever the little princess wants to do, Second Uncle will accompany you."
