Ling Xuewei's goosebumps trembled and she glared at him, "Speak nicely."
Si Yuchao, "..."
"Okay, okay, can I surrender to you? Isn't there nothing I can do about it?" Si Yuchao said sternly, "Although in front of outsiders, he is the calm and wise head of the Si family, but in front of family affection, he also
He is just a hesitant, worried and scared father."
Ling Xuewei paused her hands slightly and said nothing.
Si Yuchao sighed, "Whether you have resentment or hatred in your heart, I hope you can give him a chance to explain. After all, this is a knot he has hidden deep in his heart for nineteen years, and only you can solve it.
"
…
Si Yuchao left, and Ling Xuewei kept stroking Xueqiu's fur, not knowing what she was thinking.
The door slowly opened and Ye Moyan walked in.
Ling Xuewei felt a tightness in her waist.
Ye Moyan directly picked up Ling Xuewei who was in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?"
"No...I was wondering if I really misunderstood something." Ling Xuewei sighed.
She originally thought that that person was cold and ruthless, and had left her alone for so many years. Now seeing the kindness and complexity in that person's eyes every time he looked at her... she had an indescribable feeling.
Ye Moyan stroked her back gently, "Since you have doubts, why not go and find out for yourself?"
Ling Xuewei was startled.
Go and get confirmation yourself...?
night.
Si Yunliang finished his busy day and returned to his study.
Now that the Si family has just calmed down the civil strife, it is a time when many things are going on. From morning to now, he can hardly even take a sip of tea. Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The desk was full of things to be dealt with. He rubbed his brows tiredly and continued to be busy.
The candlelight flickered, and he suddenly raised his head, "Who?"
The door slowly opened and someone walked in.
"You..." Si Yunliang stood up in surprise, looking unbelievable.
"You...why are you here? Come on, come in!"
Ling Xuewei watched Si Yunliang greet him enthusiastically, with an expression of joy and a bit at a loss. She was silent for a moment, did not refuse, walked to the side and sat down.
"Drink, drink tea..." Si Yunliang poured her a cup of tea, and then found that the tea was no longer hot. "This tea is a little cold. I will give you another cup."
"Don't bother, I'm not thirsty..."
"No trouble, no trouble, just wait, I'll be back soon!"
The usually calm man rushed out with the teapot in hand, almost colliding with the disciples outside!
"Master, you..."
"The tea is cold, I'm going to get a new pot!"
"Master, I should go!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it! You go and prepare some exquisite pastries, they must be the best! By the way, there are also midnight snacks... Anyway, bring them all over!"
The sound gradually faded away.
Ling Xuewei in the room listened, and her heart was filled with indescribable complexity. It was sour and a little warm.
Soon, Si Yunliang came back.
At the same time, the table is already filled with exquisite pastries and midnight snacks, with all kinds of varieties.
This amount was enough for four or five people, and Ling Xuewei was a little helpless.
"Why don't you move? Do you not like it?" Si Yunliang said anxiously, "Then... you tell me what you like, and I will prepare it?"
"No...that's enough."
Looking at her boss Yunliang's expectant gaze, Ling Xuewei couldn't bear to refuse. She silently picked up her chopsticks and started eating slowly.
When Si Yunliang saw this, his face turned red with excitement.
"Try this."
"There is also this, this is not bad either..."
…
Ling Xuewei didn't say anything, but ate all the cakes he brought over.
Si Yunliang's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he looked at the well-behaved person in front of him.
How many years had passed, since the disaster nineteen years ago, he had never dared to think that such a day would come. Once his beloved wife and daughter disappeared, he suffered for more than ten years, and now they suddenly found them again. He has never been like this before.
Thank God.
He was almost in despair, but God sent his daughter back to him again. He was filled with infinite emotion and joy, as well as unspeakable guilt and complexity.
Did she hate him after being alone for so many years? Did she complain about why her father abandoned her? If he recognized her now, would she... be happy?
"Yue'er, this is the nickname Hua'er gave to the child in her belly nineteen years ago when she was pregnant."
Ling Xuewei paused and raised her head.
Si Yunliang seemed to be lost in memories, "Yue means unique treasure. This was her hope and expectation at that time."
He took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was crystal white and as smooth as the moon. In the center of the jade pendant, there was a word "Yue" engraved on it.
"Back then, I searched all over the world and found a piece of green moon jade, so I made two jade pendants. One was given to Chao'er, and the other was left for my unborn daughter. But before the jade pendants were completed, the turmoil separated us."
Ling Xuewei looked at the jade pendant and remained silent.
"I took Chao'er with me to escape the pursuit. I lived in the wilderness for several days. It wasn't until a month later that I finally returned to my home. But I got the news that Hua'er was missing..."
Si Yunliang's tone was calm, but his face showed pain.
Ling Xuewei could imagine how he would react if he received such bad news when he returned to his family.
"Ignoring my family's objections, I went on my own to look for them. A few months later, I only brought back Hua'er's bones..." Si Yunliang seemed to have fallen into memories, "Yueer was missing. I can't imagine being in that situation.
How can a newborn baby survive in the deep forest of ice and snow? I am almost desperate..."
"Since so much time has passed, Master Si should let it go. After all, there are people around you who are really worried about you..." Ling Xuewei lowered her eyes.
"Yue'er, you're blaming me, right..." Si Yunliang suddenly became excited, with an expression that seemed worried and sad, "Yes, you should blame me, it's all me..."
"I'm not your Yue'er."
Ling Xuewei interrupted him indifferently, "I am Ling Xuewei."
One sentence made Si Yunliang's face turn pale in an instant!
It was as if some energy was instantly drained from the body, leaving him pale and feeble.
A trace of intolerance flashed in Ling Xuewei's eyes, but she still hardened her heart and said, "Nineteen years ago, you lost her. No matter what the reason was, this is your unshirkable responsibility. She was alone and living in a different place. When she was a child,
You have no idea what you have experienced and what you have encountered. Although your blood remains in her body, you have not fulfilled any responsibility as a father. Now you can see that she is very good, that's all.
, why bother to break this peace?"
Si Yunliang's mouth was buzzing, but he couldn't say a word.
Yes, no matter what the reason was, it was his incompetence that caused all of this.
Yue'er was so young back then, how much hardship must she have endured to reach this point? People who inquired about the news said that the family who picked up Yue'er was not kind to her. His Yue'er, his daughter... so many years,
