Probably because the atmosphere that night was so beautiful, Lu Yuchuan unconsciously talked about a lot of past events between him and Sheng Lin.
But Lu Yuan and Mu Qian just listened quietly and occasionally asked questions, like children listening to a story.
Of course, in the story, there are all the beautiful things that Lu Yuchuan has never forgotten.
To Lu Yuan and Mu Qian, the heroine in the story is both strange and familiar.
Familiar because she was pregnant in ten months and went through many hardships to have them;
Strange because they were all separated from her shortly after birth.
But after hearing the past stories told by Lu Yuchuan, Sheng Lin finally became more vivid.
She is beautiful and fresh as jasmine;
She is gentle and always smiles with crooked eyebrows;
She is tenacious and will never be knocked down by anything;
She was stubborn and once she made a decision, she never looked back.
Lu Yuchuan talked a lot, and at the end, Lu Yuan and Mu Qian stopped asking questions and just listened quietly.
Until... Lu Yuchuan could no longer remember what he had left unsaid.
In the past, he always felt that the years he spent with her were enough to sustain his lifelong memories.
Now when I talk about it in detail, I realize that it turns out that the story between him and her is not that long, that long, that beautiful, and can be told for a lifetime.
But the more this happened, the deeper the memory she left in his mind, and the more unwilling he became.
Now his two daughters are by his side, but... the most important person is missing.
After all, it's hard to calm down.
Lu Yuchuan finally stopped talking and just sat quietly on the floor, his eyes slightly lowered and his eyes dim.
It was the first time in such a long time that Mu Qian saw such a look on his face.
It turns out that Lu Yuchuan is not always gentle, calm and high-spirited.
It turns out that when he thinks of the woman he loves, he still has a lonely look on his face.
"Dad." Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong and leaned close to Lu Yuchuan, "Mom in the sky will definitely be very happy when she sees our current situation."
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he turned his head to look at her and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian sat on the floor opposite him, leaning against another sofa. Huo Qiran was lying on the sofa, already asleep, and Mu Qian leaned quietly next to Huo Qiran, looking at him motionless.
After a while, Lu Yuchuan spoke again: "Do you think she will be happy?"
"I don't know." Mu Qian said, "I'm not her. I can't understand her mood."
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he slowly lowered his eyes and whispered, "You also once... hated me."
"Yes." Mu Qian answered without hesitation.
"When you hate him, is there still love?" Lu Yuchuan asked again.
Mu Qian thought he must be drunk.
Who would have thought that Lu Yuchuan, as cruel and ruthless as Lu Yuchuan, would one day discuss the love and hate between men and women with his daughter in such a situation?
But he obviously didn't drink.
None of them drank.
After a long time, Mu Qian said in a low voice: "Without love, where can hatred come from? How deep the love is, how deep the hatred will be -"
"Then if everything could be turned back, would you still make the same choice as before?"
Mu Qian paused and finally realized that Lu Yuchuan was not asking her.
He was just asking Sheng Lin.
Sheng Lin was already unable to answer him.
After a long silence, Mu Qian finally said: "If everything could be turned around..."
Lu Yuchuan suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her closely.
Mu Qian's eyes were calm and gentle, and she said slowly: "Then I will never leave."
For a moment, Lu Yuchuan's dim and soft eyes seemed to brighten up, but they stared blankly at Mu Qian.
"Because I know that those regrets that cannot be made up are too painful."
Mu Qian said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan fell silent and lowered his eyes again for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "Yes, we all know."
"She should also know." Mu Qian said.
When Lu Yuchuan heard this, he looked at Mu Qian again and laughed softly.
…
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the father and daughter finally finished the dinner that took several hours, worked together to clean up the kitchen, and then prepared to leave.
However, just when Lu Yuchuan picked up the sleeping Huo Qiran and was about to go out, the door in front of him suddenly opened from the outside——
"I knew you must be -" Rong Heng's clear voice came from the door, but before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly.
Because he happened to be eye-to-eye with Lu Yuchuan who was about to go out.
The moment he saw Lu Yuchuan, Rong Heng's eyes instantly turned cold.
Lu Yuan was standing in the middle of the room. When he turned around and saw this scene, he froze for a moment. Then he quickly walked forward and looked at Rong Heng, "Didn't you go to the neighboring city and you won't be back today?"
"Yes." Rong Heng finally moved his gaze away from Lu Yuchuan and answered Lu Yuan's question stiffly, "I'll come back after settling everything in advance."
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuchuan still just smiled slightly and said: "Qianqian, it seems that Yuanyuan won't be able to leave for a while, let's go."
"Okay." Mu Qian responded, glared at Rong Heng again, and followed Lu Yuchuan out as expected.
Rong Heng stiffly stepped aside and still looked at Lu Yuchuan's figure coldly.
Lu Yuan sent Lu Yuchuan and Mu Qian to the elevator, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Silly girl, go back." Lu Yuchuan said, "Dad is more understanding than you think. It'll be okay."
Lu Yuan paused and then said, "Then you should be careful along the way."
After hearing this, Mu Qian slightly raised the corners of her lips, leaned into Lu Yuan's ear and said, "You should also be careful..."
Lu Yuan hit her lightly, and Mu Qian ducked into the elevator.
By the time Lu Yuan returned to the door of the room, Rong Heng had already walked into the room and stood in the center of the room, crossing his arms and staring at the sofa.
Looking at his scrutinizing back, Lu Yuan walked in, closed the door, and then said: "I invited my father to come over. I moved out. He always wants to know where his daughter lives."
After hearing this, Rong Heng looked back at her and said, "I didn't say anything. This is your place after all."
"But this house also has your investment." Lu Yuan said, "I should have asked for your opinion first. I'm sorry. If you are unhappy, I will not invite anyone else here in the future."
Rong Heng suddenly heard something. After turning his head to look at her, he quickly walked up to her and lowered his head to look at her, "Lu Yuan, I'm not happy to see him, but it's not because he is Lu Yu."
Chuan, but because he is your father!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but look up at him, slightly surprised.
"Has he fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to you? Does he know what happened to you when you were a child? Has he protected you?" Rong Heng said, "He is not worthy of being a father at all!"
