Chapter 500: Wanting the Child
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tan Si did not understand why Zhao Yan wanted to see her. Furthermore, he had to use such a method. He clearly only needed to give the order.
Zhao Yan looked Tan Si up and down. The fact that she could enter the entertainment industry proved that she was a beauty. Be it her face or figure, they were impeccable. However, she could not hold a candle against Jiang An.
This was especially since Jiang An was no longer the adopted daughter of the Tan family. Every move she made exuded a confident aura. Even without makeup, she could suppress Tan Si.
Zhao Yan was firm that he only wanted the child. It would not do him any good to keep Tan Si.
“I won’t beat around the bush. I’m Tan Nian’s biological father. I want the child to return to the Zhao family,” Zhao Yan said.
Tan Si was shocked by this sentence. It took her a while to understand what it meant.
Puzzled, she asked, “Are you Tan Nian’s father? Do you have evidence?”
She didn’t even know who the man was that night. She thought that her life would continue like this, but she didn’t expect Zhao Yan to jump out and acknowledge his son.
This was simply a huge pie falling from the sky. Tan Si did not know how to deal with it for a moment.
“I can say that because I’ve done a DNA test. It’s confirmed that Tan Nian is my biological son. I did sleep with someone at the hotel in Ma City that day. The surveillance footage shows I was in your room,” Zhao Yan said very calmly.
Tan Si was overjoyed when she heard that. She had thought that Tan Nian was a burden, but she did not expect his father to be Zhao Yan.
That was the heir of one of the four major families, the Zhao family. Moreover, he had yet to get married. If nothing went wrong, Tan Nian would become the next heir.
Tan Si’s mind was racing. In the end, she felt that the heavens were taking care of her. Being the mother of an heir was much more stable than marrying the heir.
If she could seize this opportunity to marry Zhao Yan, with Tan Nian, she would definitely be respected as the mother of an heir. Even if something else happened, it would not shake her status in the Zhao family.
At the thought of this, Tan Si shook her head and said, “Nian Nian was born after ten months of pregnancy. I won’t give him to anyone.”
If Zhao Yan had not watched the program, he would have really believed this. However, he did not believe that Tan Si loved the child at all. She just did not want to let go when she saw that there was something to be gained.
He rubbed his forehead. “I said that I only want the child. I can give you resources, money, and jewelry as compensation, but you won’t get anything else.”
Tan Si’s eyes were filled with tears. “I said I only want my son. I don’t want your money!”
“Tan Si, you have to understand that this method is useless against me.” Zhao Yan’s expression was cold. “I don’t have much time to waste with you. Either take the money and leave, or I’ll make you unable to survive in the entertainment industry. Choose.”
Zhao Yan only came to Sea City to pick up the child. He didn’t pity Tan Si at all.
He could have as many women like her as he wanted. He also knew the best way to deal with them.
Tan Si could not say anything else. She thought that as long as she acted pitifully and let Zhao Yan know that she loved her child very much, she would be able to move him.
For Zhao Yan to rush here for Tan Nian, he must care a lot about the child. He would not bear to break up the mother and son.
However, he exposed her mercilessly, making it impossible for her to continue acting.
Tan Si understood that the other party had already made up his mind. If she persisted, she would lose both her life and money. Anyway, she did not want Tan Nian. It was better to exchange him for a sum of money. Moreover, with the child as a link, there would always be a chance to meet again in the future. Perhaps, there would be a turning point then.
Tan Si wiped away the tears on her face and said, “I have a request.”
“Speak.” Zhao Yan was afraid that Tan Si would not have any requests.
“Everyone knows that I have a child and I’m filming a show now. I hope that you can take the child away after the show is filmed and admit that we were in a relationship before and have broken up. That will put an end to this matter. You don’t want Tan Nian to be a child without a mother, right?” Tan Si said.
Zhao Yan frowned and did not want to agree. It would be a stain if he admitted that he had talked to Tan Si. However, what the other party said made sense. He had to give the child an ident.i.ty. Saying that he and Tan Si had been together was the best explanation.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yan could only force himself to nod. “I promise you that I’ll stay in Sea City until the recording of the show is completed. Then Tan Nian will stay here with me.”
Tan Si looked at him. “What about me?”
Of course, Zhao Yan did not want Tan Si to appear in front of him. However, he also knew that he had to give the child a chance to adapt. He closed his eyes and said, “You can also stay here, but we have to maintain a certain distance..”
