Si Lingtian hesitated, hesitating on whether to hand over the child to Shen Biran.
With Shen Biran taking the child away, Si Lingtian would lose the leverage he had to control Si Yuhao.
Si Yuchen was never an obedient child to begin with, and Si Lingtian knew it would take a long time to make him gradually accept the Si Family legacy.
During this time, the child was Si Lingtian's most effective bargaining chip.
Shen Biran showing up at this moment truly disrupted Si Lingtian's plans.
Si Lingtian could not let his great-grandson go, nor could he let Shen Biran go.
Yet, seeing Shen Biran come prepared, even willing to break off with him, made him waver.
Giving the child to her was something Si Lingtian would never do.
But...
Not giving her the child meant disregarding Shen Biran's explicit words.
"Elder Si, you must make a decision now."
Shen Biran didn't have much time; upon taking the child, he would leave immediately.
