This was the first time we met alone since the incident at Bai's company. Ling Xi seemed to have become much darker, and there was no longer the iconic smirk on her face. He made me feel a little strange like this. He smiled, "
It’s really not easy to meet you alone.”
"oh."
"Haha, you are still the same. Sit down quickly. You can't work too hard now." His considerate words seemed to take us back to the past.
"How...how are you doing lately?" I asked him somewhat uncomfortably.
"Fortunately, I have become the general manager of a large group. In addition to official business, there are still official matters. Every day, countless people pack up their daughters and send them to their doorsteps just to curry favor." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "The most relaxing thing every day is
At that time, I was just reading the report about you that the private detective gave me. See what you did and said that day, whether you had eaten well and whether you were feeling well." He felt a little sad, "But, every serving
His shadow is all over the report."
I listened quietly to Ling Xi's whisper. I thought of the boy who witnessed his mother's suicide, and of him standing outside the cake shop window...
"Ling Xi." She walked over gently and grabbed his cold hand. Ling Xi looked at me in surprise, and the flattered expression on her face made people feel heartbroken.
"Why do you have to make yourself so hard? Why do you want to take over the Bai family when you obviously don't like being restrained? Just for revenge? Let go, you are just holding on to a tool that will make you suffer."
He broke away from my hands and said in a cold tone, "Are you saying this for Bai Xiuyi? Do you want me to give up on the Bai family?"
I shook my head, "Xiu Yi is just as happy without Bai. Are you happy with Bai?" I looked straight at him without any waves.
Ling Xi turned her head, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. Huo De turned around and hugged me tightly, "He is happy because of you and the child in your belly. Xiaoxu, if I have all this, I will never give up."
Hesitantly give up the Bai family and give up everything." Ling Xi's fragility made me unable to bear to push him away, "Ling Xi..."
"Don't say anything, Xiaoxu." He interrupted me hastily, "Don't say anything, don't be too cruel to me, okay? I... don't want to be alone, don't want to..."
The door was suddenly knocked open, and Bai Xiuyi's anxious and nervous face completely froze when he saw Ling Xi and me. "Humph, you know how to find places for dates."
I hurriedly broke away from Ling Xi's arms, "Xiu Yi, I..."
"I'm sorry to bother you." Bai Xiuyi tried hard to pretend to be cold, but his eyes were full of hurt.
Ling Xi stood with her hands behind her hands like a real king, looked at Bai Xiuyi without any color, and said calmly, "You know I can provide the best care for Xiaoxu, even... the baby in her belly
child."
Bai Xiuyi still looked at him talking to himself with cold eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. However, he clenched his fists tightly.
Ling Xi smiled faintly, "I know that you have other ways to earn money to support your family now. If... I interfere, I believe it will be a problem for you to support yourself, let alone Xiaoxu."
I looked at Ling Xi in surprise. Was he the fragile person who fell in my arms just now? Bai Xiuyi sneered and said nonchalantly, "You can do whatever you want. You don't have to tell me who you want to take care of."
He only glanced at me and turned to leave.
"Xiu Yi..." That complicated look contained too much sadness, despair, self-blame and helplessness. I didn't chase him away. There was no need to explain. If he understood, he would understand the facts.
"Do you hate me?" Ling Xi's smile was a little weak, but she was still smiling. That was her last attempt at showing off.
I shook my head. He was quite surprised, "Why?"
"Ling Xi, no matter what you do, I will never hate you. Because I have seen the real you."
Ling Xi seemed to be struggling hard, but in the end she turned her back to me in vain, "You go." Her voice was full of reluctance and helplessness.
"Don't blind your eyes." I said calmly.
After walking out, I subconsciously looked for Bai Xiuyi, but there was no trace of him.
Suddenly, I really wanted to see Little Ye Zi, without even thinking about whether the current appearance would scare them. I went to the hospital alone. There was no one in the ward, and Little Ye Zi was still sleeping soundly. It looked like she was looking much better.
Find a chair, sit down and look at her quietly. She is still alive and recovering. Nothing is more exciting than a life being reborn. A few months ago, this result was for us
, is completely a luxury wish.
The door was pushed open gently, and I realized that it was too late to cover my belly. Dad was standing in front of me.
"Dad, I..." I really regretted my previous impulse. Now it's useless no matter how I explain it. I'm too scared to look at my dad.
"Xiao Xu, I've known it for a long time." Dad came over and patted my trembling hands.
"You know?" I raised my head in surprise, "How come?"
"When you brought Xiu Yi here, he already told me everything."
"But you weren't angry after hearing this?" I don't believe my father would forgive me so easily.
Dad smiled and said, "Who says I'm not angry? What father would be indifferent when he hears that his daughter signed that kind of contract?"
"Then why..."
"It's Xiu Yi." Dad said slowly, "He said, why should we blame a daughter who wants to save her sister's life? After she has carried so much baggage, her closest family members want to abandon her? She
I'm even more pitiful than that sister lying on the hospital bed! Hey, I've lived half my life, but I need a teenage kid to wake me up." Dad touched my hair and said reluctantly, "Xiao Xu, you don't want to
Do you blame dad? Dad also feels sorry for you, so he said those words."
