The CEO’s Dancing Wife – Part Two

Liu Yi has been busy these past few days discussing the engagement banquet with Song Li. That day, upon returning home, she found Liu Shiquan waiting for her. “Dad, why did you come over?” Liu Yi glanced at Song Li. “You didn’t even call me beforehand.” Liu Shiquan laughed, “Do I need to make an appointment to visit my own daughter? You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already starting to dislike your old dad!” Turning to Song Li, he smiled, “Good son-in-law, you won’t dislike having me as your father-in-law, will you?” Song Li gave a faint smile, “How could I?” “Yi Yi, you chat with your father first, I’ll go take a shower.” Liu Yi ushered Liu Shiquan into the study, closed the door, and asked, “Is there something you need?” Liu Shiquan walked to the bar, poured himself a drink, and gave a slight, cold smile, “Can’t I come without a reason? Now that you have a powerful godfather, you don’t recognize me as your real father anymore?” Liu Yi frowned, “What are you talking about? No matter how good that godfather is, who knows how long it will last?” Liu Shiquan nearly spat out his drink, coughed a few times, then quickly checked the door before turning back to whisper angrily at Liu Yi, “Are you crazy? There are ears everywhere.” Liu Yi scoffed, “You’re being too cautious. This is my home, do I need to be this paranoid?” Liu Shiquan sat back on the sofa, sighed, “Caution is good. We took a huge risk this time. If Zhang Rong finds out we’ve switched identities, neither of us would have enough lives to pay for it, especially with those old gangsters who’ve been in the underworld for decades. Their methods would make us wish we were dead.” He shivered at the thought. Liu Yi also felt a pang of guilt but maintained a facade of calm, “We’ve already shot the arrow, there’s no turning back. Besides, Zhang Rong trusts me completely. If he had any doubts, he wouldn’t have publicly acknowledged me as his daughter or arranged my engagement to Song Li.” “True,” Liu Shiquan tried to comfort himself, nodding. After some thought, he leaned closer to Liu Yi and whispered, “Why did you and Song Li fall out so badly before, and now he’s back so easily?” Liu Yi’s lips twitched slightly, “It’s not just about coming back; it’s the pressure from Zhang Rong and Xin Song. But for these people, at crucial moments, family ties and personal interests are what matter most. When he married that unknown dancer for those shares, why wouldn’t he come back to me when I’m now Zhang’s goddaughter? And I don’t believe he has any real feelings for that girl.” Liu Shiquan chuckled softly, “That’s how men are, especially in this circle. Those who truly love beauty over power have been weeded out. So when Song Li married that girl, I told you it wasn’t a big deal. To take control of such a large corporation, one needs such tactics and resilience. If he really ignored everything for you, I would look down on him.” Liu Yi gave a dismissive laugh but said nothing. Liu Shiquan continued, “But you still can’t let your guard down with him. What if he has other intentions? You can’t trust him too much.” Liu Yi sneered, “Don’t worry, we’ve already laid everything out.”
