”Godfather, long time no see. I truly miss you two.”
As soon as An An entered the room, he embraced Zhao Kai.
”Ten years passed in a flash. I didn't expect you to grow up so much. You look even more like your father now.”
Zhao Kai sighed as he looked at An An An.
”Godfather, all these years, you refused to return to our country. My mom often misses you.”
Anthea smiled and sat with Kiki in her lap.
”Brother An, I also miss Grandma He.”
From time to time, she would say that Zhao Kai had been deeply in love with An An's mother. Ever since An An's birth, he had always been by her side. However, after more than ten years, she finally married An An's father.
Ever since An An's parents got married, Zhao Kai took Leng Xin away from China. During this time, although Leng Xin had taken her children back to visit their families, Zhao Kai had avoided them for the last time, as if he was avoiding something.
”Is your mother all right?”
After a long while, Zhao Kai finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
”Very well, she and my dad are going around the world now, writing songs and recording albums when they're happy, but most of their time in London has been since Qing'er had a baby. Godfather, if you have time, you can come home and visit, or you can even do it in London.”
Anthea looked at the wrinkles at the corner of her godfather's eyes and felt a lot of regret.
The first person he had an impression of was not his father but Zhao Kai. In his childhood memories, Zhao Kai was like his father. Once, he thought Zhao Kai was his father.
During these ten years, Zhao Kai's parents had always been by his mother's side. This moved An Xin.
His views on emotions and life were mostly influenced by Zhao Kai.
”Maybe. After the movie is done, I will go find your mother and maybe work with her to make another movie that will bring a happy ending to our lives.”
A faint wound could be seen in Zhao Kai's eyes. Even though so much time had passed, his heart was still unable to forget.
That was his deepest and truest love. Even his wife could not compare to it.
”You're crying?”
Zi Yan, who was about to come out of the kitchen, asked in confusion when she saw Leng Xin standing by the side with her eyes red.
”No, I'm just choking on chilies. Zi Yan, can you accompany me for a walk?”
Without waiting for Zi Yan to speak, Leng Xin grabbed her hand and left through the back door.
”Sister Xin, are you really crying?”
When they arrived at the backyard, Zi Yan asked again when she saw Leng Xin wiping her tears away with a handkerchief.
”Okay, let's walk and talk.”
”Yes,” Leng Xin replied softly, seemingly very conflicted and irritated.
”Did you have a fight with Daddy?”
Zi Yan asked worriedly. If the two of them were to quarrel in her home, it would be very hard for her to be the master.
”If only he was willing to argue with me. Zi Yan, do you love your husband?”
Leng Xin asked dejectedly.
”Love, what about you?”
Zi Yan didn't really want to talk about her love life, but she was very willing to listen to other people's love stories.
”I love Zhao Kai. It started very early, very early, when I was still in middle school, but his feelings for me were only seventy percent.”
Leng Xin's sorrowful voice reminded Zi Yan of her own life a while ago.
”The scales of love will never be balanced, and the amount of love cannot be measured.”
Zi Yan gently advised.
”You won't understand. Actually, the person I love in my husband's heart has always been An An's mother, I already knew that before I met him, but I also loved him. In the past, I always felt that it didn't matter, but as I grew older, my mind was like a poisonous tumor, constantly expanding in my heart.”
Leng Xin's words made Zi Yan's heart skip a beat. Although she hadn't heard the conversation between An An and Zhao Kai, from Leng Xin's expression, it was obvious that she was talking about An An's mother.
She knew that Anthea's mother had never seen her in person, but she had seen the movie she was acting in. She was a very beautiful and gentle woman.
However, based on her performance in the movie and her charm, Zi Yan knew that she was an extraordinary woman.
”If you care so much, why did you marry her father? Is it because of Kiki? ”
Zi Yan really didn't seem like a spy, but she knew Leng Xin's current mood was only to help her.
”Not really. We only gave birth to her a few years after we were married. This is a long story. I was being petty.”
Leng Xin stopped as she spoke, wiping away her tears. She was too immature, and did not look like a cheerful woman of forty.
”Actually, I feel that since you all already have your own families, you shouldn't keep it in your hearts anymore. There are some things that will fade with the passage of time. After all, the person accompanying him is you.”
Zi Yan didn't know how to persuade her, she just wanted her to be happy.
”Yeah, the person accompanying him is me, but the person in his heart is still He Wan. Maybe I'll mind it forever because he never said he loved me.”
Leng Xin sighed deeply.
