hard to let go

Chapter 30

On that day, Gao Xixi still didn't get the ranking in the "three-person two-legged" event, but she was not sad at all.On the contrary, she was happier than winning the award.Her parents were with her, and she saw the envy of her classmates. His father was tall and handsome, and his mother was beautiful and gentle.

Most importantly, her parents love her so much.

On the way back, Gao Ziqun was driving the car, the mother and daughter sat in the back, and the car was quiet.

"Mom, this is for you." Gao Xixi hung the gold medal from running around Lengxi's neck.

Leng Xi's heart warmed instantly, her throat seemed to be choked by something, "Thank you—" she chuckled.

Gao Ziqun smiled, "You seem to have forgotten me?" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Gao Xixi giggled, "Dad, you're not bad for me."

Gao Ziqun glanced at her indifferently, "Why didn't you give it to me when you won the prize last year?" He raised his eyebrows, his expression was soft and cute.

Leng Xi only felt slightly dazed, Gao Ziqun's eyes slowly passed over her body from the rearview mirror, faintly, gently, as if he was waiting for something.

Leng Xi acted as if nothing had happened.

Gao Xixi pouted, "Who told you not to watch my game last year?"

Gao Ziqun hooked the corner of his mouth, "Didn't I come this year?"

Gao Xixi snorted, "That's different."

The father and daughter bickered, and Leng Xi watched silently.Putting aside the past, the current Gao Ziqun is really different from the person she remembered.

But it's different, so what?

After returning home, Leng Xi accompanied Gao Xixi to wash up. The child had done too much exercise today and fell asleep in a short while.Leng Xi looked at her sleeping face, Xixi still had a smile on her lips, and whispered, "Mom—hehe—Dad—"

Leng Xi gently caressed her cheek, her eyes gradually became darker, for a long time, her eyes looked so empty and powerless.

When he went downstairs, Gao Ziqun was sitting on the sofa in the living room. There was a bottle of red wine on the tea table, and he was holding a swaying glass of red wine.Under the light and shadow, his expression was not very clear, but he looked at her with burning eyes without concealing it.

Leng Xi walked towards the entrance as usual, when she was on the same straight line as him.

Gao Ziqun said suddenly, "Xiaoxi—" Gao Ziqun likes to call her "Xixi" when he is happy, and likes to call her by her first and last name when he is angry, and when he usually calls her "Xiaoxi", it is when he has something to say.

Leng Xi stood there quietly, waiting for him to speak.

Gao Ziqun put down the cup in an orderly manner, got up and walked to her step by step, "I have something to tell you."

Leng Xi remained calm, she looked at her figure printed on the white floor tiles.

Gao Ziqun lowered his head and fixed his eyes on her face, "I am not married." He said word by word, "I am not married to Wen Shu." There was a faint smell of wine in his breath.

Leng Xi's hands tightened subconsciously, she was really stunned by his words for a moment, maybe a little shocked, but it was only for a moment.Whether he is married or not is none of my business.

Gao Ziqun swallowed his throat and said mockingly, "Are you trying to say that it's none of your business whether I get married or not?"

Leng Xi was silent, yes, everything about him, except Xixi, had nothing to do with her.

Gao Ziqun slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at her calm expression, and lost his mind for a moment, "Although Wen Shu and I have a marriage contract, we have never been married, and the engagement is also a cover. Wen Shu has always had someone he likes—" His His eyes moved slightly, "You see it's just my engagement with her, and it was just for us to fool the two elders."

Leng Xi took a deep breath, she really didn't know what to say at this moment, she lowered her eyebrows slightly.Gao Ziqun's voice hovered above her head, "If I had known that you already had a child at that time, no matter how serious the consequences were, I would not have held that engagement ceremony." His voice was filled with infinite sorrow.

Leng Xi's nails unconsciously pinched the tender flesh of her palm deeply, "Even if you are not engaged or married, I will not have that child." She tried her best to make her voice as cold as ice.

Gao Ziqun's jaw clenched suddenly, and the center of his brows furrowed. He looked at her stubborn and thin side face, his expression loosened bit by bit, "Duplicity." He uttered a few words quietly, and then nodded Getting closer to her, his eyes became deeper and deeper, "Xiaoxi, you have me in your heart." He said shamelessly.

Leng Xi's face froze in an instant, she took a step back subconsciously, Gao Ziqun grabbed her arm suddenly, his four eyes met, he smelled each other's breath, he locked his eyes tightly.

Leng Xi raised his hand to push him away, and pressed his arm against his chest, feeling a burst of scorching body temperature, "Gao Ziqun, you really haven't changed at all."

Gao Ziqun raised the corner of his mouth, "Xixi, I've said the important thing, and you're angry again." He pulled her closer, "Am I not right?" His black eyes narrowed slightly, " That time when I saw you wiping tears secretly, at first, I thought you were doing it for Chu Hang, but I only found out recently that you saw the engagement invitation between me and Wen Shu."

Leng Xi turned her eyes away, she said abruptly, "No!"

"You lied again." Gao Ziqun looked at her with a complicated expression, "Fortunately, Xixi didn't inherit this from you."

Leng Xi bit her lip and looked at him coldly, "Because she won't meet people she shouldn't meet like her mother."

Gao Ziqun breathed out softly, "Xiaoxi, do you think Xixi has lived in a broken family since childhood?"

After hearing his words, Leng Xi suddenly sneered, "I don't want to, but I don't want to be with you either." She looked into his eyes without blinking, and said firmly, "Gao Ziqun, after seven years, you thought it was just me Is it that you can act as if nothing happened if you are not married?"

She pursed her lips, "What about my family? Even if you are not the culprit, yes, it was Qin Liu who did it. I deserved the slap in the face! But what role did you play in it? If If you didn't force me, how could things happen later? The first time, it was Qin Liu who gave me the medicine, but what about you? Besides taking advantage of others' danger, what did you do?" Tears flowed down slowly, " It's difficult for others! Take advantage of others! This is your usual style, you are bad at heart, and you will never change in your life." She giggled twice.

Everything in the past is engraved on my heart like a scar, which is difficult to remove.

Gao Ziqun felt his temples beating violently, and his expression changed drastically. Every question she asked was like an iron rod piercing deeply into his heart.

"For the past, I'm sorry." His hand slowly covered her cheek, touching the tears, it was cold, which made him tremble inexplicably.

"Xixi, I didn't know it was you—" If he had known it was her, he would never have done that.With trembling hands, he gently wiped the tears on her face, as if they could not be wiped away.

In the past, he actually harmed her.

Leng Xi suppressed sobbing, she bit her lip tightly, the corner of her lip had been bitten by her, and her mouth smelled of blood. "Gao Ziqun, let me go. If you still have a little conscience, give me Xixi, I really don't ask for anything."

Gao Ziqun's mouth was full of bitterness, and the corners of his mouth moved, "You let me think about it—" His hand slowly slid down, and finally stopped on her waist, wanting to touch it, but afraid of hurting her .

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?" Gao Xixi appeared at an unknown time, and she looked at Gao Ziqun and Leng Xi in surprise.

Leng Xi took two steps back to keep a good distance from Gao Ziqun.

Gao Xixi walked over heavily, looked them up and down, "Mom, are you crying?"

Leng Xi hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, "No." She sniffed, "Something flew into her eyes just now."

Gao Xixi frowned, somewhat disbelieving.

"I'm blowing for your mother." Gao Ziqun said flatly, he glanced at Leng Xi, and the corners of his mouth twitched bitterly.

Gao Xixi walked up to Leng Xi, stood on tiptoe, and pulled Leng Xi's head down, "Mom, let me show you."

Leng Xi blinked, and slowly squatted down, Gao Xixi blew the corners of her eyes in a dignified way, "Dad used to blow me like this."

Leng Xi froze, and said softly, "Mom is fine."

Gao Xixi smiled innocently, "I'm good."

With the child's interruption, the tension just now faded away in an instant.When Leng Xi went back, she kept recalling the past in her mind.She frowned, Gao Ziqun undoubtedly poked the wound in her heart that had already healed.

She never thought about her feelings for Gao Ziqun.

Hate, that's for sure.

Love—she didn't know.

If there was no love, why did she feel distressed when she received that invitation?
Leng Xi took a deep breath, turned his head sideways to look at the bright starry sky, his head hurting dizzily.

After returning home, she remembered to call Chu Hang back.Looking at the time, it was already very late.She thought for a while that maybe he had already rested, so she hung up the phone and edited the text message: I just came back, I will call you back tomorrow.

Before the message was sent, Chu Hang had already called.

"Xiaoxi—" His voice was extraordinarily soft in the night, "Have a good day today."

Leng Xi hesitated for a moment, "Xixi is very happy, she won No.100 in the 1 meters."

Na Dun was silent for a while, "He ran pretty fast." He chuckled lightly and coughed a few times silently.

"Chuhang, are you coughing?" She frowned, a little worried.In the past few days, the temperature has fluctuated from cold to hot, and many people have a cold and cough.

"It's okay, it's just that my throat is a little itchy." Chu Hang said indifferently. "By the way, your father's case has progressed."

Leng Xi's heart instantly rose to his throat.

"Chen, who was involved in this case, was arrested in Guangdong," Chu Hang said.

Leng Xi closed his eyes heavily, "Then will my father be released from prison early?"
