C98 (1/2)
Gu Yi did not inform Xia Ying about him seeing Xue Minghuang. According to Xia Ying's reaction when she saw Xue Minghuang recently, if she really knew about this matter, she would definitely not let Xia Zeyang go so easily.
Moreover, Xue Minghuang did not recognize Xia Zeyang, which could be considered his lucky day. However, whether this was fortunate or unfortunate, it couldn't be judged by just himself.
Gu Yi could naturally tell that Xia Ying's mood had not been very good recently, and it seemed that this phenomenon was even more obvious after Shen Meng had joined the group. She didn't know if it was because Shen Meng's current target of contact was Xue Minghuang, but Gu Yi felt that this sort of thing was more or less certain.
”Yangyang, Yangyang...” Xia Ying found the living room from the bedroom, but she did not see Xia Zeyang anywhere, as she anxiously looked around.
Gu Yi told Xia Ying everything, ”Playing around in the study room. It has only been a short time since you last saw him, and you are already so anxious?” Gu Yi scolded Xia Ying helplessly.
Xia Ying opened the door to the study, seeing that Xia Zeyang was sitting on the carpet, she was relieved. Seeing her expression, Gu Yi felt speechless. At the same time, she also thought about more. In her life, it was very easy to see how much Xia Ying relied on Xia Zeyang. This child was her spiritual support.
In the future, if Xue Minghuang found out about the existence of his child, he really did not know what kind of conflict the two of them would have. Gu Yi also knew that no matter how conflicted he was, Xia Ying would not share these matters with him.
Sometimes I'm really curious, what did I not experience in these five years that I disappeared? I want to ask, but I don't dare to ask. He was afraid that she would not answer, but he was also afraid that if she did, he would feel very upset.
”What are you thinking about?” Xia Ying sat down on the side of the sofa, held a cup of clear water in her hands, and slowly drank it in small sips. The autumn was a little dry, and in order to look better in the mirror, Xia Ying worked hard to replenish the water, and tried to ensure a reasonable period of time to do so.
”Nothing.” Gu Yi shook his head, but then said, ”Wouldn't it be hard for me to take Yangyang alone?”
When talking about Xia Zeyang, a different kind of gentleness and affection appeared on Xia Ying's face, and he smiled faintly, ”Actually, as a mother, it's hard work, no matter what.” Still smiling, slowly feel, only smile can let oneself have more expectations of life. And it's better for the children.
”That's true.” Gu Yi was silent for a long time, after thinking about it, he said, ”Xia Ying, have you ever thought of finding someone to help you share your burden?”
Of course, Xia Ying understood the meaning behind Gu Yi's words, Xia Ying felt that she could no longer give Gu Yi any hope, if not, all of this would be her greatest sin. After thinking it over, she decided to explain it straight away, so it was better, ”Gu Yi, I really treat you as my good friend.”
At that moment, Gu Yi felt as if the world he was in had collapsed. I don't know what kind of feeling this is, but I still have to pretend to be calm and look cool. ”Of course I know. What was he thinking of? I only asked because I felt that you can't always be like this in the future. ”
Xia Ying seemed to have let out a breath of relief, and looked at him with much more indifference, ”It's good to always be like this, as long as I have Yangyang, I am very satisfied.” Looking at Xia Zeyang who was quietly playing with his blocks in the study, Xia Ying smiled exceptionally gently, ”He is my most important relative.”
After being together for so many years, only Gu Yi knew what Xia Ying meant to his relatives. Suddenly, her mother who passed away, her father who only knew how to collect debts, the injuries brought to her by Xia Ying's family, it was truly difficult for them to completely disappear with the passage of time.
It wasn't hard to tell that Xia Ying, who didn't have Xia Zeyang in the past, was lonely and arrogant. However, this tiny life of his gave birth to and grew in Xia Ying's life, slowly opening the seal on him step by step.
Gu Yi understood what this ”most important family member” meant in Xia Ying's heart. It was just that Gu Yi couldn't help but ask Xia Ying if the reason why Xia Zeyang was so important was because she had Xue Minghuang's blood on him. However, such a question couldn't be asked in the end.
Because he didn't have the qualifications.
Xia Ying was afraid that she would see such an expression on Gu Yi's face. Five years ago, she had told Xue Minghuang a story she did not want to bring up again. Thus, she hoped even more that she wouldn't be able to recall it.
He just wanted to keep looking forward. After all, life had to continue.
”Why haven't I seen Sister Qingchen recently?” Xia Ying could only find something else to say.
”The company seems to have some problems. It's pretty busy, right? What's wrong? You have something to talk to her about? ”
”No, I'm just asking.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Gu Yi's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he realized that it was actually Yu Le. He did not see his for a long time. Gu Yi still stood up and said, ”I need to pick up a call.”
Xia Ying rarely saw Gu Yi avoiding sher when she answered the phone, but he still nodded and pointed to the balcony. Looking at Gu Yi's back figure, he was slightly gratified. A workaholic who had worked for the past ten thousand years, finally had some private matters to attend to.
”Hello?” His tone carried doubt, but it also carried a hint of sternness.
When Yu Le heard this voice, she immediately tensed up. His voice was weak, ”Th-that … ”Boss, are you busy?”
