After listening to his old father's advice, Xue Heng thought carefully and finally nodded.
"...Okay, I'll tell her sometime."
Xue Zhilan sighed helplessly: "Xiaohan is a good child, but it is a pity that you are not good parents. She has lost a complete family and the warm and harmonious atmosphere that she should have in the family."
"Dad, I've tried my best." Xue Heng whispered with red eyes.
As a father, although he is not perfect, he believes that he can definitely pass the test.
Over the years since his divorce, everything he has done has been centered around his daughter, and he has tried his best to provide her with the best life and family conditions.
Not only that, except for work, he devoted all his time to his daughter.
"I can't give her a complete family, but I have tried my best to give her warmth and affection. When I got divorced... I was sorry for Xiaohan, but I really couldn't help it. All I could do was to take care of her as much as possible,
Love and protect her until I die of old age."
Xue Zhilan nodded lightly and whispered: "I don't blame you, and I know you tried your best. But your daughter will grow up and she will have her own family in the future. You have to think about it for yourself and find a companion to live with. Xiaohan
She will go to junior high school, high school, and even go to university abroad. She will have her own social circle, friend circle, and family. And your mother and I will grow old and die... You have to think about yourself.
Think about it, you can't live alone for the rest of your life, right? You are only over forty, and you are only half way through it."
"Dad, don't worry." Xue Heng shook his head: "I won't go to that point. I have a job, colleagues, and you, Ah Huan, uncle and the whole family - no matter how bad it is, I will never be alone.
Live your life."
Xue Zhilan sighed quietly: "It's different... No matter how nice others are or how many relatives they have, they are all different from the person next to you. If you cough or sneeze, the people around you will know."
Xue Heng nodded: "Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I've already started searching, right?"
"After so many years..." Xue Zhilan squinted his eyes: "I almost thought you were going to die alone... If you come out earlier, your mother and I will feel more at ease."
The eldest son has been divorced for several years. Many people have introduced him to her over the years, and some young women have even taken the initiative to pursue him, but he has rejected them all.
Both he and his wife were secretly worried that he had been so emotionally hurt that he despaired of love and did not want to be involved in any more emotions.
Xue Heng sighed lowly and laughed dumbly.
"How can it be so pretentious! Time is the best healing medicine. No matter how painful or big the wound is, it will heal over time. It's just a matter of time. If you can't meet the right person, you will lose the passion of your youth. In addition, when you are young
Han is still young, so I’ve been putting it on hold.”
Xue Zhilan couldn't help but ask: "This colleague of yours...is about the same age as you?"
"Yes." Xue Heng replied: "They are all people who have been disappointed in their marriage partners and been tortured by life."
Xue Zhilan nodded, seemingly not optimistic about it.
"People who share the same disease just have something in common. If they were attracted to each other, they would have been together long ago, right? But at least you have taken this step, and I am still very happy."
Xue Heng whispered: "Dad, I have caused you and my mother to worry too much over the years... I'm sorry."
"You are not sorry to us." Xue Zhilan said warmly: "Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. We are your parents, so we will naturally think about you the most. You are not old yet, so you can
Be more free and unrestrained. We are just worried... We are all gone, Xiaohan will grow up and have his own family, and then you will be alone..."
Xue Heng shook his head again and again: "No, no. Dad, don't worry. When Xiaohan is older, I will start looking for people to date."
"Okay." Xue Zhilan nodded happily: "Remember, find an opportunity to let Xiaohan know, don't let her not accept it for a while."
Xue Heng looked hesitantly and whispered: "Xiaohan... is born to Cheng Tianfang after all, so her heart naturally cares about her. In her heart, she still hopes that the two of us will remarry."
"This..." Xue Zhilan frowned slightly and asked: "She hasn't found a partner yet, right? Never found one?"
Xue Heng nodded.
Xue Zhilan couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think? Is it possible that you want to remarry?"
"No, no!" Xue Heng shook his head: "I never thought about it. We were already divorced... What about remarriage! She - went too far... broke my heart... It is impossible to look back. I
It’s impossible to stay with her.”
"Alas..." Xue Zhilan sighed quietly, "Afang is not a person with no talents. In the past, she was optimistic and motivated, and she was friendly to others, but I don't know what happened... Then she gradually changed. As time goes by, people will change.
Yes, maybe she has changed back. Whether or not to remarry is your business, and we won't interfere too much. But I still want to put something in your ears, and you must remember it."
"Say." Xue Heng said.
Xue Zhilan whispered: "Although A Fang and we are no longer a family, A Yuan and his family are better than one family with us. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to cultivate in the same boat, and a hundred years to cultivate in the same bed. After all, A Fang is with you.
We have been husband and wife for many years and were once our family members and Ahan's biological mother. If she encounters any difficulties in the future, you cannot stand by and watch."
"I know." Xue Heng nodded: "I... I may have hated her before, but I don't hate her now. She is Xiaohan's mother. No one can change this. I will also give her enough respect and help.
.”
"That's good." Xue Zhilan whispered helplessly: "Ayuan and his mother still refuse to forgive her. It's not easy for her to live alone outside. Fortunately, Lingling secretly takes care of her and has a stable job. Otherwise,
She probably won't be able to survive in the imperial capital. In any case, she is Xiaohan's mother, and you can never forget this."
Xue Heng replied: "She bought the apartment at the back of our community in full, so she will not have any difficulties in life. If she has anything, she should directly ask Lingling for help. Lingling has great abilities and wide connections.
, should be able to help more than me. As long as I can help, I will try my best to help."
"Well, that's right." Xue Zhilan said: "She just wants to be closer to Xiaohan when she lives here. I can still understand the heart of a parent. Most parents in the world still focus on their children. These are animals.
nature and instinct.”
Xue Heng murmured: "I never stopped Xiaohan from getting close to her."
Xue Zhilan picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
"No more chatting, go back and go to sleep."
Xue Heng said softly "Oh" and stood up.
"Dad, please go in and sleep quickly. It's very late."
Xue Zhilan nodded lightly, got up and went back to the room.
