hard to let go

Chapter 14

No one knew when Gao Xixi came and how much she heard, but the most important thing was that she heard the last sentence.In the darkness, the child's eyes were slightly wet, full of puzzlement and discomfort.Leng Xi touched her eyes, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed heavily by a sharp blunt instrument, her throat was dry, as if she was in a desert, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak.

The shadow on the ground swayed, Gao Xixi walked slowly, and finally walked in the direction of Gao Ziqun.

The night was so quiet that it seemed that all sounds disappeared.

"Father, let's go home." The little girl took her father's hand with all her strength. The restlessness and hesitation in her heart made her only learn to avoid it at this age.

Gao Ziqun frowned, stretched out his arms and hugged his daughter.The little girl immediately buried her head in her father's shoulder.She didn't say anything, for a moment, Gao Ziqun felt a slight chill around his neck.

Gao Xixi huddled in his arms, Leng Xi stood in front, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, and finally said, "Xixi, listen to what mom said, mom didn't mean that."

Xixi remained motionless, Gao Ziqun paused for a few seconds, and finally turned around.

Leng Xi watched the father and daughter walking towards the courtyard door step by step, getting further and further away.She slowly raised a sad smile.

After leaving Leng's small courtyard, the little girl couldn't bear it any longer, and cried loudly.Gao Ziqun carried her into the car, took a tissue and wiped her snot and tears, "Okay, don't cry."

Xixi sniffled, "Does she really not want to have me?" The little girl said softly with red eyes.

Gao Ziqun frowned slightly, raised his hand to stroke her hair, "It was Dad who made your mother angry, your mother said angry words, she loves us Xixi very much."

Gao Xixi was silent, "Dad, why don't you apologize to mom quickly?" She hoped that mom and dad could live together with her.

Gao Ziqun said lightly, "Father will work hard."

When Gao Ziqun appeared, Leng's family immediately fell down.Qin Xiaoyun's complexion was very ugly, pale and stiff.Leng Xi said softly, "I'll go wash and sleep first."

The living room was plunged into an unusual dullness, and he asked coldly, "Sister, have you decided to take the child back?"

Leng Xi paused and said firmly, "Yes."

Looking at it coldly, with helplessness in his eyes, "How sure are you? Who is Gao Ziqun? Seven years after you left the child behind seven years ago, is it what you want? That child has lived with Gao Ziqun for so long, Can she leave her father easily?"

Qin Xiaoyun said with a straight face, "Stop talking, go down and rest." She sighed silently, Qin Xiaoyun knew more about the entanglement than anyone else.

Leng Liang stood up and said without warmth, "I'm leaving."

Leng Xi had nightmares all night, and the original plan for the National Day of the [-]th National Day came to naught because of Gao Ziqun's sudden return.

The next day, she received a call from Chuhang, "There is a new restaurant opened in the east of the city. The dishes are very good. Would you like to bring Xixi to try it?"

"She was picked up by Gao Ziqun." Leng Xi's voice was calm.

Chu Hang was taken aback for a moment, and soon recovered, "Where are you now?"

"At home." Leng Xi replied looking at the osmanthus tree in the yard.

"I'm fine today, I'll come pick you up later." Chu Hang said firmly.

Leng Xi didn't say anything, maybe because she was too restless, she hoped that someone could accompany her at this moment.

Chu Hang hung up the phone, stood up, and said apologetically to a few classmates, "I'm sorry, I'll go back first, and we'll meet another day." The original class reunion ended soon.

When Chu Hang came to Leng's house, Leng Xi was sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, with her eyes slightly closed, leaning half on the tree trunk.Chu Hang walked in slowly, taking every step very lightly.

The tender yellow sweet-scented osmanthus drifts away with the wind, and there is a little fragrance in the air.

Leng Xi's brows were slightly frowned, and bits and pieces of the past kept reappearing in her mind.

At that time, the Leng family was in a desperate situation, and the real estate in their hands became worthless in an instant.She finally turned around and went to Gao Ziqun, or beg.

But when she dialed the number again, either no one answered, or Gao Ziqun's cold voice came, "Who is there?"

She bit her lips firmly, "President Gao, it's me, Lengxi."

"Oh—it's you, Miss Leng." Gao Ziqun suddenly realized, "What's your business with me?" He just has such abilities, as if nothing happened between him and her.

Leng Xi felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the words stuck in his throat were hard to say, "Mr. Gao, are you free today?"

Gao Ziqun tapped on the table, and after about ten seconds, "Miss Leng, I'm sorry, I have a dinner tonight."

Leng Xi breathed out, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye." She couldn't continue.Begging a boy whom he once abandoned like a shoe, and humiliating in unison, sure enough, this is what Gao Ziqun can do.

Gao Ziqun hung up the phone, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Leng Xi came to Zhongzheng almost every day in the past few days, but he was blocked by the secretary.He just wanted to see how the trapped beast struggled at the end.

He got up and walked out, and was not surprised to see Leng Xi sitting on the sofa, motionless in a daze, just holding his phone.He strolled over, and when the people around saw him, they all stopped and said hello, "President Gao——"

Leng Xi raised her head in an instant, looking in his direction, Gao Ziqun clearly saw the hope flashing in her eyes, it was like fireworks for a short time, but he still caught it.

He walked straight over with his usual expression, as if he was waiting for her to speak.Until he walked by her side, Leng Xi did not see any movement.Gao Ziqun frowned indistinctly.

Assistant Sun Cheng asked winkingly, "Mr. Gao, do you refuse Qin's invitation?"

"Go." Gao Ziqun said impatiently.

After being dazed for a moment, Leng Xi finally came back to her senses. She strode after her, but Gao Ziqun's figure had long since disappeared.She stood in front of the building and lingered. In the dark, she walked feebly.

Sun Cheng tremblingly held the steering wheel, whether to drive or not to drive.Gao Ziqun's gaze stayed outside the window, his brows were furrowed, and Sun Cheng couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

A few days ago, they saw Leng Xi walking on the street with a boy. At that time, Mr. Gao seemed as if nothing happened. Unexpectedly, within a few days, his attitude changed immediately.

But at this time, should we go or stay?
"Drive the car over there." Gao Ziqun said coldly.

When the car slid to her side, Leng Xi was in a daze.When the car window was slowly lowered and her eyes were fixed on those narrow and deep eyes, she felt flustered.Leng Xi tried her best to calm herself down, telling herself that this is an opportunity.

"Get in the car." Gao Ziqun didn't have any extra words, but gave simple and full orders.

Leng Xi was stunned for a few seconds before getting into the car.

She sat there, leaning far away from the car door, nervous.

"Didn't you have something to do with me? Why do you have nothing to say after seeing me now?" Gao Ziqun said coldly.

Leng Xi took a tight breath, "As for that piece of land, we are willing to change hands now." She looked at him and said with some difficulty.

Gao Ziqun also looked at her with interest in his eyes, "A thing only has its specific value at a specific moment. Your land is no longer what it used to be. Leng Xi, you have to understand , the market is changing, and people will also change—”

Leng Xi's expression was startled, as if she didn't expect him to say such words, she pinched her palms, "Then, please forgive me for disturbing you." She stretched out her hand to pull the car door in a panic, but heard Gao Ziqun said, "If you give me a reason why I must buy that piece of land, I'd like to think about it."

Leng Xi paused for a moment, her hand firmly holding the doorknob.

"Let's drive, go to Chu Guan." He said. "You still have half an hour to think."
