As if he had been dealt a huge blow because of an answer like hers, Lan Yu Feng’s gaze grew darker and darker, as if covered in a layer of gray.
Ziggy moved her hand one finger, one finger to break her apart.
“Tell the driver to pull over, I’ll get off … here,” leaving his arms and speaking again, she looked a little breathless.
He seemed tired too.
How does one not get tired of being entangled with each other like this, guessing, testing, and entangling again?
I pressed the beeper, didn’t ask the driver to stop, just gave the address of the rented house, and told the driver to change the route.
When Zi Ge carried Little Douzi down from Yan Nan’s hand, she couldn’t help but cross the child’s shoulder and look towards the caravan at the back. The windows of the caravan were tightly closed, and Zi Ge couldn’t see the familiar face inside, but inexplicably she could feel a suppressed bitterness emanating from under the heavy windows.
“Mommy, isn’t Daddy coming down?”
The child also turned his head and eyed the car.
“Uh-huh.”
“But Little Bean hasn’t said goodbye to Daddy yet.” The child’s eyes suddenly turned a little red. It seemed to be realizing that it was going to be separated from daddy.
Zige suddenly felt a little sad. If she did this, how was she any different from what Lan Yu Feng did? But, other than that, what else could she do?
Ziggy knelt down, placed the child on the ground, and stroked his head, “Go, say goodbye to daddy.”
When the child took a step out, Yan Nan reached out and stopped him. A large and a small child, tilted their heads and looked at him in surprise. Yan Nan had a ghostly look on his face as he looked at Zi Ge, “Let mister be quiet for a while, to make so many cuts, there will be a struggle in anyone’s heart, and at any time, they may regret it, and mister is just a normal person.”
Listening to Yan Nan’s words, the slightest hint of intolerance suddenly arose in Zi Ge’s heart. Reaching out, she pulled the child to her feet and lowered her eyelashes. After all, she didn’t say anything and silently turned around with the child in her hand.
“Mommy …” Little Bean followed her, her little hand grasping hers, unable to resist turning back again and again.
“Daddy won’t even blow-dry Little Bean’s hair anymore, will he?”
“Mommy will blow you.”
“Daddy will never come to see Little Bean again?”
“… will come.”
“Daddy and Mommy won’t be together forever.”
“…” This sentence, Zi Ge could no longer answer Little Douzi. In the end, just gently spit out three words, “I’m sorry.”
It was only when she took the key and opened the door that Zige was immediately yanked in. Su Jie didn’t bother to greet the child, and wisely led the child into the room. Only Meng Yuhui’s two elders and Zige remained in the large hall.
“Dad, Mom.” Zige’s eyes were still red and she didn’t dare to look up. Just called out in a grueling voice.
“Sit down first.” Meng Yuhui sat down on the sofa and pulled his wife down again. Zige nodded and sat down on the other couch.
“You say it.” Mo Simin looked at her daughter and took a deep breath, as if she was suppressing the agitation in her heart, “What’s going on in the newspaper? It’s not that mom doesn’t know that these media like to write nonsense nowadays, but I did ask Su Jie, and you did have a child.”
Ziggy hung her head low and didn’t make a sound for a few moments.
“Say something!” Not waiting for an answer, Mo Simin’s eyes reddened with anxiety.
“Don’t be in a hurry, don’t push the child too hard.” Meng Yuhui’s heart ached for Zige and he could only pacify his wife.
“Can I not be anxious? I raised her so well, just to see her letting people bully her!” Mo Simin wiped her tears haphazardly, heartbroken and grieving. She probed over and pushed Zi Ge twice, somewhat angry with her, “That child in your belly is simply Lan Yu Feng’s, isn’t it? Why can’t you remember things so well? Who made you so miserable back then? Now he’s digging a hole for you, and you’re still jumping into it!”
“Mom …” Zige bit her lip and could only call her mother in an astringent manner.
“If this child is his, you must not have it!” Mo Simin stood her ground, “You have no reason to give birth to two sons in a row for a man like that. Let’s go! Let’s go to the hospital now, otherwise, he will think we are easy to bully.”
“Mom!” Zige was pulled to her feet by Mossy Min.
Meng Yuhui stopped his wife, “You’re not well, don’t be so agitated. Your daughter hasn’t spoken yet, can’t you listen to her properly?”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you properly.” Mo Simin looked at her daughter, waiting for her answer.
Zi Ge’s thoughts were in chaos. She couldn’t bear the fact that her mother still had to worry about herself now, and she didn’t want to really remove the child, but if she said that it was Ke Hengjun’s child, wouldn’t she let Ke Hengjun take the blame for no reason at all?
Just when she was torn, the doorbell suddenly rang. She was startled for a moment and said, “Mom, there’s a guest, I’ll go ahead and open the door.”
Without waiting for Mo Simin to say anything else, Zi Ge already walked towards the entrance hall. Meng Yuhui hurriedly pulled a tissue and handed it to Mo Simin, “Hurry up and wipe it off, don’t let outsiders see it and make a joke.”
Zige walked to the door, took a deep breath, and barely raised a smile to make sure she wasn’t in too bad of shape before she finally opened the door.
A flash of surprise flashed through her at the sight of the person at the door.
“Hengjun? What brings you to …”
Words did not finish, masked himself like a masked man like Ke Hengjun suddenly pounced on her and hugged her tightly in his arms.
That sudden embrace stunned Ziggy for a moment.
In the hall, Mo Simin and Meng Yuhui couldn’t help but look at each other when they saw this image, and there was also a mixture of surprise and doubt in their eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Ziggy asked numbly.
“Thank goodness nothing happened to you.” Ke Hengjun pressed against the side of her small face and murmured in a low voice. Only at this moment did the heart that was hanging in the air finally fall back into place.
Turns out, he was worried about himself.
Zige warmed her heart and smiled a little, “What could I possibly have to do? I’m afraid you’re the one who has something going on right now.”
Ke Hengjun then pushed her away a little bit, “Now the websites are all mansplaining about you, so stay well at home for the time being lately, you can’t be sure that there will be artists and fans looking for you downstairs.”
Although she knew that the media and the internet were so powerful that they could turn out all those indecent, photos of her, but hearing Ke Hengjun say that, Zi Ge was still a bit shocked.
“So I can’t go out these days?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Can’t go to work?”
“Still working?” He rolled his eyes. “Didn’t your coworkers tell you that City One is surrounded right now?”
Ziggy scratched her head a bit frantically.
Ke Hengjun took off his mask and was about to comfort her with a few words, when he looked up and saw the two elders in the hall, he hurriedly avoided Zi Ge and walked into the hall and greeted her politely, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Meng Yuhui nodded, “We all saw the report in the morning.”
Ke Hengjun looked back somewhat apologetically at Zi Ge who had followed him, and apologized solemnly with the two elders, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think this would involve Zi Ge.”
“Heng Jun, from what you’re saying, it means that this child in our Zi Ge’s belly isn’t yours, right?” Mo Simin hurriedly pursued the question, not caring if it was appropriate or not.
Ziggy blushed a little.
Ke Hengjun glanced at each of the two men, and busily reached over to hold Zi Ge in a more than natural manner.
“Auntie, I’m really sorry. Actually … Zige this child, really mine.”
Ziggy looked at him with her jaw on the floor.
Mo Simin and Meng Yuhui glanced at each other, still having doubts in their hearts. After all, they were elders, not so good at coaxing.
“Don’t hoodwink us, you’ve obviously never been together, how could you possibly make a baby?” Mo Simin said.
Meng Yuhui echoed his wife’s words.
Ke Hengjun only had to hug Zi Ge even tighter and smiled somewhat embarrassedly at the two elders, “Actually, Zi Ge and I used to be first loves. Now that the two have met again, it’s sort of a rekindling of old feelings.”
The two elders stared at Ke Hengjun, but Ke Hengjun didn’t feel weak, on the contrary, Zi Ge’s eyes fluttered and didn’t dare to meet her parents’ eyes, so she could only lean on Ke Hengjun’s chest.
“I’m really very sorry, aunt and uncle, I didn’t expect such a big mess to happen. However, I have already thought of a solution.”
“What solution?” Mossy asked at first.
Ke Hengjun raised his lips and smiled away with a serious face, “I’ll marry Zi Ge.”
The moment these words fell, everyone in the hall was stunned. Even Xi Sujie, who had been sticking to the door to eavesdrop, suddenly pulled the door open and probed out, staring wide-eyed at Ke Hengjun.
“Stop it!” The first one to come back to her senses was Zige, and after glancing at her parents’ reaction, she lowered her voice in warning and secretly tugged on Ke Hengjun’s coat.
“I didn’t make a fuss.” Ke Hengjun was frank and generous, his long arm wrapped around her more tightly, raising his eyebrows handsomely, “Now the whole country knows that you, Meng Zige, are my Ke Hengjun’s woman, and if I don’t marry you, who else can marry you?”
And …
What’s worse now is that those indecent photos from the past days are frequently flowing out. Ke Hengjun is worried about whether she can withstand the pressure of public opinion.
But if he could take the initiative to stand up and take it all on himself, at least he could still be on the same page with her and share the pain.
“You’re crazy! You don’t even look at what kind of status you have!” Zi Ge’s voice, pressed even lower, sounded like it was squeezed from between her lips, “You don’t want your interpretation career anymore?”
“You mind your own business first. I can handle the company side of things.” Ke Hengjun covered her ear and whispered softly, his eyes quietly swept towards the face of the two elders, “By the looks of it, uncle and aunt aren’t too good to deal with.”
Zi Ge was distressed in her heart. If she really told the truth, her mother would not allow herself to keep this child not to mention that she was in poor health and could not be stimulated. Just as she was tangled in bitterness, Mo Simin had already opened her mouth, “I think Heng Jun’s proposal is good. Since there’s his child, and now that all of it is known those neighbors phone calls have been made one after another, I see, this matter is settled!”
“Mom …” Ziggy looked at her mother in surprise.
Meng Yuhui also looked at his wife, “Is it appropriate to decide just like that?”
“How is it inappropriate? The child is already there, can it be inappropriate? Besides, didn’t they say themselves that they were first loves? What’s not to like about first loves being together.” Mo Simin lowered her voice again and whispered to her husband, “It’s hard to believe that you still want to see your daughter carry those curses from before. During this period of time, I’ve seen clearly that this young man is sincere to our Zige.”
Meng Yuhui glanced at Ke Hengjun and nodded his head in recognition of his wife’s words.
“I also think it’s quite appropriate.” Ke Hengjun picked up with a smile.
“Shut up!” Ziggy elbowed him.
“I think it fits too.” Xisu Jie stepped forward and nodded her head.
Zige was completely speechless.
“I think that I still need to talk to you. Seriously! Seriously!” Ziggy stared at Ko Hengjun.
“OK!” he accepted graciously.
Mo Simin dragged Meng Yuhui out to buy groceries, Xi Sujie was in her room nurturing her feelings with Little Douzi, leaving Zi Ge and Ke Hengjun sitting in the hall.
Ke Hengjun skillfully peeled an orange and handed it to Zi Ge, who pushed him away, “No.”
