Yan Nan sat in the front, taking in all that was in front of him. He could also clearly feel the increasingly oppressive breathing throughout the carriage. He tightened the steering wheel and tentatively glanced towards the rearview mirror. Only after a long time did he open his mouth, “Sir, do you want to get out of the car to check on the young master?”
“… It’s not necessary.” It took him a long time to spit those three words from his lips.
Wordy, heavy.
Even the kids … want her to be with Ko Hang Joon …
Even the child, who feels she has given her happiness …
Smiling to himself, he closed his eyes and watched the three silhouettes disappear completely before he spoke softly, “Let’s go.”
Two simple words that felt like they drained his strength.
Heavy …
Depressing …
Yan Nan didn’t say anything, just quietly drove the car slowly out of the neighborhood.
The Other Side …
As if being held by something, Zige subconsciously turned back. However, in the darkness of the night, there was nothing left but darkness and boundless darkness.
“See what?” Ko Hang-jun asked.
“Nothing.” Ziggy shook her head and turned back around.
For the next two consecutive days, Zi Ge worked as usual. During these days, she still occasionally passed by Su Xi’s hospital room, and even, sometimes she happened to bump into Lan Yu Feng coming out of the hospital room. But …
Two people, who did not pause for each other. Just a silent glance at each other, a second later that is quite a tacit understanding to move away, and then, wrongly … and passed …
Categorical, indifferent …
That night, that hug, it all just sank into the memory and no one ever mentioned it. It was as if, nothing had ever happened …
This day.
Early morning.
Ziggy crouched in the hall to help the boy put on his casual shirt, and small round-toe leather shoes.
Xisu Jie lazily climbed up to brush her teeth and was mesmerized to see the child in a handsome outfit.
“Tsk, tsk, my godson is just handsome!” Holding the child’s little face, he gave it a kiss.
Little Bean grinned and craned his little neck, “Mommy says it’s genetic.”
Xi Sujie had a disbelieving look on her face, “Your mommy isn’t as pretty as you!”
Ziggy elbowed her, “Go, go, go, go, go and wash your face, breakfast is on the table.”
“Then Little Bean just inherited it from Daddy.” Little Bean said.
At the mention of Lan Yu Feng, Zige was slightly stunned for a moment. Su Jie glanced at her and nodded with a smile, “Hmm. Taking after your daddy, it’s the right thing to do.”
To Lan Yu Feng, originally everyone hated and annoyed, but after the last time he sacrificed his life to save Zi Ge, including Mo Si Min and Meng Yu Hui had changed their views.
How much does a man care about you if he’s willing to give up his life for you?
“Take the child to see him?” Xi Su Jie asked Zi Ge.
Zi Ge didn’t answer immediately and helped the child fasten the last button without haste before patting his little head, “Be good, go eat breakfast first. Mommy and godmother will be right here to accompany you.”
“Uh-huh.” The child answered crisply and climbed onto the dining room table.
Ziggy straightened up then, returning Suje’s words, “Uh-huh. It’s to meet him.”
“It’s hard to believe that you want to go on like this?” Su Jie gave her a worried look, “Look at you now, you’ve lost a circle of weight. Since that’s the case, it’s better to make things clear with him.”
Zige lightly breathed out and looked at Su Jie, “What about you? Don’t you want to talk things out with Su Chen properly?”
“We’re not like you guys.”
Ziggy laughed a little, “What’s different? You don’t love him?”
Xi Sujie paused for a moment, and only after a long time, did she say, “There are many things that simply cannot be solved by love. The problems that lie between us are too numerous to count.”
Zi Ge smiled slightly, “So, we are all the same … Love is completely insignificant in front of reality.”
Su Jie lowered her eyes and looked at Zi Ge, “Although it is so said, but … watching from the sidelines, I still hope that both you and Little Douzi have a complete home. Honestly … you don’t not love to hear.”
She paused for a moment, looking at Ziggy’s face, and then continued on, “If you really don’t think it’s possible with the baby’s father, then there’s always someone else to consider.”
“Others? You mean … no!” Zige immediately refused.
“Why not? It was your parents who asked me to advise you. Telling you not to be stupid and not know how to pick someone. Hengjun has been all over you and the child all this time, and all of us have seen it for ourselves. Just don’t know what you think.”
“I just knew he was good to me, so I could only reject him clearly.” Zi Ge had a serious face, “I don’t want to fail him, nor do I want to use him. If I choose to be with him just because I need such a person around me, then I would be too selfish and unfair to him.”
Suje ‘tsked’ and shook her head. “Wooden fish head!”
“OK! You hurry up and go wash your face and come late for dinner!” Not wanting to continue this topic, Zige pushed Su Jie. Su Jie also stopped talking and went into the washroom.
Holding the child, he took a taxi to this all-too-familiar villa. After being away for so long and coming back, Zige was inexplicably a little nervous.
“Mommy, you’re gripping too tightly, it hurts a little.” The child struggled against his small hand.
Ziggy snapped back to her senses, and was busy loosening up some, smiling apologetically at the child.
“Baby, are you happy to be seeing Daddy?”
“Happy!” The little thing nodded immediately and craned its neck to look at her again, “If Mommy is as happy as Little Bean, then Little Bean will be even happier.”
“Saying tongue twisters!” Ziggy stroked the child’s head gleefully.
In fact …
Kids don’t know, actually …
She’s just as happy as he is …
The child was so desperate to see his daddy that he didn’t wait for Ziggy to knock on the door, but he was already trotting up to the iron fence, thinking on his toes and clapping with his little hands.
“Uncle Butler! Uncle Butler!”
“Aigoo, my little young master!” The housekeeper was really quick to run out, “Mister said last night that you would be back today, so I didn’t get much sleep for the whole night.”
The housekeeper was busy opening the door, and only then did he see Zi Ge, and was busy greeting respectfully, “Madam.”
Ziggy laughed a little, a little embarrassed, “Better call me Ziggy.”
“Then Miss Meng is fine.” When the housekeeper finished speaking, he reached out his arms and took Little Douzi in his arms, “Aww. I haven’t seen you for so long, and you’re heavy again. Any heavier, Uncle Butler won’t be able to hold our little young master!”
Little Bean giggled as she wrapped her arms around the butler, “Uncle Butler, Little Bean misses you too.”
Looking at this scene of the old man and child, Zige’s heart was slightly relieved.
Just …
Even the butler thinks so much of his children, as a father …
“Is Mr. … already up?” Ziggy still asked. Actually, she came a bit early. After breakfast, it was only eight o’clock when she got here.
“Not yet. Last night I had everyone go through all the young master’s bowls and wash them clean. And re-picked up the young master’s toy room, that was done by the gentleman himself. I was busy last night until after three in the morning before I went to bed.” The housekeeper said, and sidled up to the child, “Mister really cares for Little Master, he puts a lot of thought into it.”
Zige heard an indescribable flavor spreading in her heart.
That night he didn’t even see Little Douzi for a second, he just walked away like that, from the bottom of her heart, she was actually a little bit resentful of him. However, nowadays …
She just got it.
That man, he just never knew how to express himself.
“Baby, then how about you stay at daddy’s place for a while in the next few days?” Zige smiled and discussed with the child.
After such a long time, he thought he would love to spend some time with his child.
“Good! Then Mommy will stay with Little Bean, okay?” The child looked at her expectantly.
The housekeeper also spoke from the side: “That’s right, Ms. Meng, you also live down together, just like before how good, the family also has life. Mr. has just come back not long ago, and his legs and feet are not convenient, sometimes it is the subordinates who take care of it is not too convenient …”
The butler spoke, and Zige listened, her heart aching.
But he just smiled lightly and shook his head, “I won’t stay down. Send the child in and leave.”
“Mommy …,” said the child, flattening his little mouth a little depressingly.
Zige kissed the back of his hand, “Good boy. Mommy’s going to be working nights for the next few days, so you couldn’t be better off staying here.”
Led by the butler, they entered the house, which was quiet throughout. The butler put the child down and sent the maid off to make tea. “I’ll go up and call sir, he’ll be so happy to know that the young master is back.”
“No, no need.” Zige was busy pulling the housekeeper back, and looked upstairs with some heartache, “It’s better to let him sleep, the child will be fine for a while.”
He went to bed so late last night, besides, he is now dealing with the affairs of the QU Group, and has to run to the hospital from time to time, and has to work hard to do rehab, such a life is so exhausting that it is like clockwork, how can she bear to wake him up again?
“Mommy, then I’ll go up and see Daddy, okay?” It’s been a long time since he’s seen Daddy, and he really misses him too …
Although, Daddy is really mean sometimes and, always makes Mommy sad, but …
He’s still very much a daddy!
“Now? But Daddy he …”
“I promise I’ll just not make any noise for Daddy!” The child immediately promised.
Still uneasy, Zige took the child by the hand, “I’ll take you up. But keep your voice soft.”
Actually …
Just an excuse …
See him before you leave, even if it’s just … a sneak peek …
Pushing open the door to that familiar room, Zige compared her finger to the child’s lips, and the child then obediently tiptoed in with a cat’s back.
Ziggy followed him in her fuzzy slippers.
The entire bedroom, still the same as in the past, did not change at all. Looking at the familiar furnishings, her eyes fell on a certain figure sleeping on the bed, and she couldn’t help but see a layer of fog in the bottom of her eyes.
It was as if, in the air, there was his scent.
Obviously, I only intended to look at it from a distance, quietly. But it wasn’t until I actually saw it that I began to become greedy.
As if pulled by something, she approached slowly, one step at a time. It wasn’t until she reached the bed that she actually stopped. The child looked at her with wide-eyed curiosity. She was oblivious.
As if the whole world, at this moment, only he exists …
All around his ears, the sound of his even breathing …
Unable to help herself, Zige probed her fingers and gently flowed over his features. To the center of his brow paused …
Looking at the furrowed brow, her heart ached as she tried to smooth him out …
It’s in a dream …
He shouldn’t have to work this hard even in his dreams …
Suddenly, his eyelids jumped.
Did you wake him up?
She sucked in her breath in shock and subconsciously tried to retract her hand, but halfway through, it was clasped by a large, horizontal palm.
Those tightly closed eyes opened abruptly. Cold and sharp, dangerously pressing straight at her.
She was so shocked that she tried to stand up straight, but he suddenly gave a strong tug. The force on her half-bent body was uneven, and she was yanked down onto his chest at once.
Before he could struggle, his waist was wrapped around another hand.
