People’s adaptability was pretty scary as one would never know the extent of which they could persevere.
Inside the house, there was only Xia Ruoxin left. At that moment, she felt unspeakable loneliness which made her sigh.
When she was going to return to her room, she heard the door outside slam shut.
Did Wei Lan come back?
“Aunt…”
Before she could even finish her sentence and started smiling, she was stunned and became as stiff as a statue when she saw who walked in.
“You’re… you’re back. Right, are you hungry? I’ll make something for you to eat,” she said everything in a hurry, but she was bent on heading to the kitchen.
“It’s okay,” Gao Yi said lightly before walking quickly past her while Xia Ruoxin still stood there, motionless. The corner of Gao Yi’s clothes swept past her, but he still walked past without saying anything.
What was wrong with them?
Xia Ruoxin was a bit upset, but she did not know how to get rid of that feeling.
Between her and Gao Yi, the distance between them had grown to an uncrossable size when she left the Bai family.
It was the same a few days after that; both of them still did not speak much to each other until quite long later, he brought a woman back-a white woman. She saw it: she saw them kissing, tearing each other’s clothes off, entering the room… making some noise that was not foreign to her.
It was the same as that day in the Bai family’s fireplace.
She felt sour like she had lost something. Actually, she knew that she liked that man, but why did they become like this?
Wei Lan had also felt the strange atmosphere between Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin. She meant to ask, but before she could say a word, there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door, and outside was the person she did not wish to see today and for the rest of her life.
“What are you doing here?” She let go of the doorknob but did not chase him out.
At that time, she had already thought it through. She did not have much hopes and thoughts about this man. Since she did not have any, what was there to be scared of? There was no difference if she saw him or not.
Bai Zhenfeng walked in, and his hair was all white. At that moment, Wei Lan then realized that this man was old. Yes, they were all old. Their children had already grown up; how could they not be old?
Bai Zhenfeng’s aging was not only because of his age but also because of reality.
All his calculations, his everything, turned into nothing because Bai Luoyin was jailed.
Now, he could really fit the description of ‘forever alone’.
The wife that stayed with him his whole life had left him in a fit of anger, his only daughter was forced to be admitted into a mental hospital, and the Gao Yi that used to listen to him even if he did not like him that much… he could not even hear Gao Yi call him ‘Uncle’ anymore.
“I came here to see you.” Bai Zhenfeng stood up his back that was originally straightened
it became curved now.
“Thank you for coming here to see me.” Wei Lan pointed at the seat opposite her. “Please, take a seat.”
Bai Zhenfeng sat down. The couple that had walked half their life together had now become speechless in front of one another.
One could not say who was hurt and who was let down; one could only say that one of them never treated this with his heart while the other had used up all her love and patience.
When Xia Ruoxin walked out and saw the two people outside, she was stunned. Why was he here? Once Bai Zhenfeng saw Xia Ruoxin, a complicated feeling bombarded his heart. It turned out after all the deviations and obstacles, she and Gao Yi still ended up together. If he knew this from the start, he should not have done those things in the past and caused his family to be broken.
“Hello, Mr. Bai…” Xia Ruoxin greeted Bai Zhenfeng.
“Hello,” Bai Zhenfeng replied awkwardly, and his heart was in an even more embarrassed state.
The door opened slightly, and Rainy stuck her head out from the inside. Xia Ruoxin placed her finger on her mouth.
“Sh, don’t say anything.” Rainy ran out and hugged her leg.
She hid her small circular, apple-like face between her mother’s legs; she was really afraid of this grandfather.
Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and brought her into the room. For the first time, Bai Zhenfeng actually thought that this child looked pretty and cute. If he was not so stubborn in the past, they could have been a wonderful family now.
“That child, she’s very cute,” he said with much difficulty.
“Yes, she looks like her mother, and she’s well-behaved.” Wei Lan smiled subconsciously, but it was a pity that her warmth was not for him.
“We…” Bai Zhenfeng felt that his throat was very dry and could not express himself.
“Zhenfeng, I know what you want to say.” Surprisingly, Wei Lan sighed lightly. “We can’t go back to that place. I don’t wish to anyway. My life now is very peaceful, and I hope yours would be too. Even though Luoyin is sick, she will recover eventually.”
Her gentle rejection hurt him more than a stern reprimand.
Bai Zhenfeng finally understood what did regret meant.
Yes, he did regret it, but was it possible to give him another chance?
Wei Lan sat there, dignified as ever; she had the same gentle and warm smile as the past as if she had not changed. However, Bai Zhenfeng knew that everything was different.
“Mommy, what did that Grandpa come here for? Did he come to catch Rainy?”
Rainy pulled on Xia Ruoxin’s sleeves and buried her head in her mother’s chest, compacting her body together.
“That Grandpa is very fierce. I’m scared.”
“Don’t worry.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s cheeks. “The Grandpa will leave in a while. He just came back to see Granny for some time, not Rainy. Of course, he won’t take you away.”
“Really?” Rainy still stayed close to her mother’s body cowardly. This could clearly show how much Bai Zhenfeng disliked Rainy. A child’s heart is pure; she knew exactly who was nice to her and who was not.
In her small heart, she knew it all.
Like Chu Jiang, she liked her a lot as for Song Wan, not so much. For Bai Zhenfeng, there was no love for him at all.
“Why would Mommy lie to you?” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and brought her to the door. She opened a small gap in the door and saw that the man outside was still sitting there, not sure what they were talking about.
From this angle, she could clearly see Wei Lan’s natural smile—as if she did not careand the conflict in Bai Zhenfeng’s eyes.
She felt a pang in her heart. This feeling… why was it so similar to her and Chu Lui?
In the past, she was busy chasing after him; she was hurt and tired. Yet, she still could not wait for his reply.
Now, she was tired and stopped, but he had returned.
