hard to let go

Chapter 27

Gao Ziqun really broke his promise this time.Lengxi never came back and made a phone call from the beginning to the end.After coaxing his daughter, he went downstairs.The old man hadn't left yet, he was sitting upright, his face a bit gloomy.

"Ziqun—" the old man whispered his name in a deep voice, "Just now Wen Shu told me that Xixi's mother is back." He said straight to the point.

Gao Ziqun frowned slightly, and replied lightly, "En."

The old man stared at him in a daze, raised his white eyebrows, "Ziqun, I never interfere in your affairs. Back then you and Xiaoliu of the Qin family made troubles all over the city because of a woman. You and Wenshu have been together since childhood. Engagement, have you ever thought about her feelings?"

Gao Ziqun remained silent, without any change in expression.

The old man spoke earnestly, his son was his pride, and he was outstanding in everything he did, but his relationship went wrong.He couldn't let his son go his own way.

"I know about Wen Shu and Qiao Yu. You have a lump in your heart. After all, it's all happened in the past, not to mention that Qiao Yu has been dead for so many years." The old man sighed slightly, "You are the son of two children. Father, why do things without regard to the consequences."

Gao Ziqun clasped his hands, his expression became slightly dignified, as if he had been brewing for a long time, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, "Dad, in fact, Wen Shu and I are not married."

The air froze instantly.

Mr. Gao's eyes were stunned, as if he was recalling what his son had just said, he hissed twice, "What did you say?"

Gao Ziqun looked into his father's sunken eyes without blinking, "We've never been together, and the registration is just a cover. Wen Jun is not my child either."

"Niezi!" Mr. Gao was so angry that he stood up trembling, "This is the good thing you have been tossing about in the past few years!" He paused the crutch in his hand heavily, and knocked it on the floor tiles, making a bang , I wish I could swing a stick up and wake him up.

"You have been married for seven years, and now you tell me that you are not married? Gao Ziqun, how do you make me believe you?"

He panted heavily, "How can you mess around like this about marriage?"

Gao Ziqun's eyes were heavy, and his face was also very ugly. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'm very sorry."

The old man was helpless, "Whose idea was it?"

Gao Ziqun did not hesitate, "Me."

The old man left in anger.

Gao Ziqun sat on the sofa alone, the night wind blew in from the outside, and the curtains swayed with the wind, creating a wave-like arc.

In the silence, the phone rang suddenly, which seemed very abrupt.Gao Ziqun quickly picked it up. "Have you found it?"

Sun Cheng breathed out, "Mr. Gao, Ms. Leng is in the hospital now."

Gao Ziqun's face turned cold instantly.

Sun Cheng quickly said, "Miss Leng's younger brother had an accident and was beaten by a group of people. The situation is a little serious, and he is still in a coma."

Gao Ziqun breathed out, "I see."

After hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, feeling a little helpless in his heart, Leng Xi, Leng Xi, you are too busy to take care of yourself now, how can you ask for custody?
Leng Xi sat on the wooden chair in the corridor, the beige windbreaker was stained with many spots of blood, which had dried up.Her face was exhausted.

Chu Hang came over with coffee and snacks, "You haven't eaten all night, so eat something to pad your stomach."

Leng Xi took it subconsciously, but held it in her hand without moving, her face was as white as paper.

Chu Hang pursed his lips, "Xiaoxi, I'm here to watch. If it's not past twelve o'clock, it means today hasn't passed yet. There's still time."

Leng Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head to look at Leng Liang on the hospital bed, her eyes became deeper and deeper, and the severe pain in her heart could not be suppressed.That was her own brother, who followed her behind since she was a child, calling her warmly, "Sister—sister—"

When he grew up, he started calling her by her first name.She forgot that Leng Liang is no longer a child, he has gradually grown up.

What he has been doing these past few years, Leng Xi has never asked in detail, and an unspeakable regret wells up in his heart.

She wanted to cry, but couldn't even shed tears.Leng Xi blinked slightly, and slowly got up.

"Don't leave regrets for yourself, and don't make Xixi feel regrets." Chu Hang said, because he knew that once a regret is made, it may be irreversible in this lifetime.

"Thank you." Leng Xi didn't know what else she could say besides these two words.

"Silly girl. We are - friends. There is no need to be so polite between friends, go quickly." Chu Hang said with a smile, his expression seemed relaxed.

Looking at Leng Xi's back that was drifting away, Chu Hang slightly turned his face away, and the lines on his side face couldn't hide the pain.

In the dead of night, I am afraid that many people will not be able to calm down this night.

Leng Xi got off the station in front of Gao's house, stopped for a while, she held the corner of her mouth, and tightened the gift box in her hand.Every step she takes now is full of exhaustion.

Gao Ziqun didn't seem too surprised to see her. There was only one chandelier turned on in the hall, and his eyes flickered with some confusion.

The shirt buttons on his upper body had been undone three times, and the delicate cuff buttons on the cuffs of the shirt shone slightly, making his face even darker.Leng Xi suddenly realized that this kind of him seemed to be less aggressive than usual. In the past, if this was the case, he would definitely be ridiculed.

And now he just sat there watching her quietly, as if waiting for something.

"Is Xixi asleep?" Leng Xi murmured, her voice hoarse as if she had been choked by countless yellow sands.She didn't meet his eyes.Because of the surprise and worry just now, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and her eyes were dull and dull.

Gao Ziqun's eyes gradually fell on her hands, and finally he answered, "I just fell asleep, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Leng Xi nodded, and slowly raised his steps.When he passed by his side, he saw the blood on the corner of her clothes clearly, and immediately grabbed her hand, his voice was tense, "Are you hurt?"

Leng Xi stared at him obsessively. This night, she was too frightened to react for a while.

Gao Ziqun asked again, "Are you injured?" He wanted to see where she was injured.

Leng Xi hurriedly avoided him, "It's not me, I'm not hurt." The worry in his eyes made her tremble a little.

Gao Ziqun slowly let go of his hand, turned around and left.

Leng Xi took a deep breath.

Gao Xixi fell asleep crying, and there was still liquid in the corner of his eyes that hadn't dried up.Leng Xi gently wiped it dry with his fingertips.She turned her eyes and saw that the lattice cabinet beside her was already filled with all kinds of gifts.

Leng Xi walked over and took out his share.

cup.

lifetime.It was her extravagance and greed.

Not long after, Gao Ziqun walked in again and handed her a coat. "Go and change it. You are not afraid of scaring people with the clothes you wear at night."

Leng Xi didn't comment, she looked at the dress in her hand.The memory box was slowly opened, Gao Ziqun bought it for her back then, she had seen it, but unfortunately she never wore the clothes he bought.

She looked at Xixi with nostalgia, and forced herself to turn her head, "I'm going back." Her voice was full of helplessness.

"Leng Xi, if you have such an attitude, I would like to advise you to give up Xixi's custody." Gao Ziqun looked at her deeply.

Leng Xi paused.

"As his mother, you can't even attend her birthday. What reason do you have for custody?"

Leng Xi swallowed her throat, "If I had a choice, you would definitely spend every birthday with her." Little by little, she gathered her fingers together, pressing her short nails deeply into her palm, "My brother is still In a coma in the hospital, my dad is in prison, what do you think I should do?"

She hooked the corners of her mouth, that smile was a little tranced under the orange light.

As soon as she finished speaking, her tears were about to fall.It's strange, when she was in the hospital, she couldn't cry, but now she has tears.Maybe it was really painful and I couldn't hold on.

Gao Ziqun had nothing to say for a while, but his face remained unchanged.

Leng Xi bit the corner of her lips, "Gao Ziqun, I'm different from you. I can't be so cold-blooded, that's why I brought myself to where I am today."

There was a trace of sadness in Gao Ziqun's eyes, and he said softly, "Xiaoxi, you want Xixi's custody, and I also hope that Xixi can have a complete family."

She looked at him quietly, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Marry me." Gao Ziqun had a stunning smile on his lips.

But Leng Xi took a step back uncontrollably, her calf bumped against her feet, and she glanced back subconsciously.

"Mom—" Xixi rubbed her eyes, her voice was hoarse, as if waking up from a dream.

Gao Ziqun looked at her for a moment, with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth.

After confirming that it wasn't a dream, Xixi immediately threw herself into her arms, "Mom, why are you here now?" Feeling aggrieved and excited at the same time.But after all, her mother is still here.

"Suddenly something happened." He said coldly. "I'm sorry, Chihi."

Moonlight came in through the window, Leng Xi kissed Xixi's forehead, "Happy birthday, baby."

Xixi giggled, raised her eyebrows, looked at Gao Ziqun, "Dad, you really didn't lie to me."

Gao Ziqun said unhurriedly, "Alright, let's make a wish before tomorrow."

Gao Xixi immediately closed her eyes, clasped her hands on her chest, and pursed the corners of her mouth.After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "I'm starving to death. Would you like some cake with me?"

Leng Xi nodded, "I'll go change my clothes first."

Gao Xixi cut three pieces of cake, first handed it to Leng Xi, then to Gao Ziqun, and kept the last piece for himself.She ate the cake contentedly, with a look of happiness on her face.Under the watchful eyes of her daughter, Leng Xi also ate up the cake.Gao Ziqun never touched these foods, but tonight he tried a few mouthfuls for his daughter's face, or more because of the people in front of him.

Gao Xixi was very satisfied, she felt that her wish would come true soon.

No matter how much unhappiness there is, at least at this moment the three of them feel the taste of happiness.
