Chapter 35: Changing Password

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when Wen Ci finished filming the night scene.

I originally wanted to send a message to Yi Yi, asking her to come and take my daughter home in the evening, but I received a message from Grandpa Xie, the nurse, saying that my daughter had fallen asleep in the ward and I could wait for her to come and pick her up after get off work.

Wen Ci didn't let Yi Yi make this trip.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Wen Ci knocked on the door softly. The moment she opened it, her calm face suddenly turned pale. She was so panicked that a chill seeped into her bones and her body temperature dropped sharply.

She didn't expect that Xie Peizhou was still in the ward so late.

Moreover, he was sitting on the short sofa next to the sofa where his daughter was lying, staring deeply at his daughter's sleeping face without any concealment with his black eyes.

"You're here."

Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Peizhou turned his head and looked into Wen Ci's pale face.

Xie Peizhou stood up and walked to Wen Ci, "Wen Ci, let's talk."

After saying that, he placed her backpack on the sofa, grabbed her slender wrist with his bony hand, and took her away.

-

At the end of the corridor, by the window.

Xie Peizhou glanced at the bright full moon outside the window, his dark eyes fixed on Wen Ci's increasingly pale and frail face. He asked in a cold voice, "Wen Ci, tell me the truth, whose child is Nian Nian?"

As soon as Xie Peizhou opened his mouth, Wen Ci's tears began to fall.

Tears condensed along the curve of her face at the tip of her nose, falling to the ground like pearls from a broken string.

At this moment, her heart was torn as if by a knife, her heart was festering, and endless self-blame and regret spread in her chest.

Why did she choose to return to her country to develop her career just for the money and to be able to secretly take a look at him?

Why bring your daughter back to China?

She clearly knew that Xie Peizhou was extremely smart and loyal, and that after knowing that Nian Nian was his own flesh and blood, he would definitely fulfill his fatherly responsibilities and compete with her for the custody of Nian Nian.

No matter in terms of family conditions or economic conditions, she could not win over Xie Peizhou.

When Wen Ci thought that Xie Peizhou would definitely hand his daughter over to Song Wanqing for care after getting custody of her, she began to feel sorry for her daughter's situation.

Tears formed into lines.

"Wen Ci..."

Xie Peizhou frowned, and before he could say anything, Wen Ci's emotions collapsed.

The man sighed helplessly, stretched out his long arms and embraced her in his arms, resting his chin on Wen Ci's hair, stroking the back of her head with his large and warm hands, and soothing her with a gentle voice.

"Okay, I know it's difficult and unfair for you to keep this secret."

"good……"

Even late at night, the temperature in Beijing is still around 30 degrees Celsius.

Xie Peizhou was only wearing a white shirt. After a while, he felt a dampness seeping through the fabric and sticking to his heart, and his heart began to feel sore and painful.

But the more she comforted her, the more Wen Ci couldn't stop crying.

She grabbed the fabric of Xie Peizhou's shirt with both hands and pulled hard.

But deep down, I feel a sense of helplessness and despair.

Ever since Nian Nian fell seriously ill two years ago and underwent successful surgery, she rarely cried.

A mother must be strong and take good care of her daughter. Crying is useless. She must be able to take on responsibilities and make money to give her daughter a better life.

"Uncle..." Wen Ci choked with sobs.

At this moment, it seemed that all she could do was cry, begging Xie Peizhou to let her go and not compete with her for Nian Nian, whom she cherished so much.

Xie Peizhou let her go, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

The man's heart seemed to be wrapped in layers of plastic wrap, suffocating and distressed.

Wen Ci had suffered so much injustice in the past five years that she broke down emotionally as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Nian Nian is..."

Xie Peizhou looked into her eyes and just started to speak.

Wen Niannian's voice came from the corridor, "Mommy!"

"Nian Nian!"

When Wen Ci heard her daughter's voice, she subconsciously pushed Xie Peizhou away and ran towards Wen Niannian.

Xie Peizhou looked over and saw the mother and daughter hugging each other tightly.

The man's dark eyes darkened with complexity.

"Mommy, why are you crying?"

Wen Niannian woke up in a daze and seemed to hear her mother's voice.

When she opened her eyes, she and her great-grandfather were the only ones in the ward, but she saw Wen Ci's bag on the sofa, and the bedroom door was open, so she got up from the sofa and went to look for it.

As a result, I saw Wen Ci and my uncle at the end of the corridor.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Wen Niannian imitated her mother's way of comforting her, gently patted Wen Ci's back, and kissed her on the cheek, "Don't cry, don't cry."

"Did you bully my mommy?"

Xie Peizhou looked at Wen Niannian who was staring at him hungrily.

Without a mask, he looks angry, just like Xie Yiyi when he was a kid.

Xie Peizhou walked over, ignored her, and gently patted Wen Ci's back with his big hand, "Stop crying in front of the child."

He paused, "I won't ask now."

"It's getting late. I'll drive you back."

Xie Peizhou didn't give Wen Ci a chance to refuse. He returned to the ward, took Wen Ci's backpack, and took the mother and daughter downstairs.

Late at night, the roads were clear.

There was silence inside the Maybach.

Xie Peizhou was driving attentively, occasionally glancing at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He saw Wen Ci hugging Wen Niannian tightly with both hands, her whole body tense.

It felt like someone would snatch Wen Niannian away at any time.

The man pressed his thin lips into a line.

I really regret forcing her to go abroad so ruthlessly.

Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped in the community parking lot.

Wen Ci got out of the car holding her daughter, feeling like she was escaping in a hurry, "Thank you, uncle."

Xie Peizhou took the car keys, opened the driver's door and bent down to get out.

He said, "I'll go up with you to the bathroom."

Wen Ci held her daughter's hand tightly, without saying a word, unable to find an excuse to refuse.

The elevator was still silent.

Wen Niannian was held in Wen Ci's arms, and she also felt that her mother was acting strangely tonight.

She glanced at the tall and stern "Uncle" next to her and frowned.

It must have something to do with this man.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.

Xie Peizhou blocked the elevator door and let Wen Ci hold her daughter and go out first.

In fact, when they just entered the elevator, he suggested that he hold her, but Wen Ci nervously shook her head and disagreed.

After walking out of the elevator, Xie Peizhou, with his long legs, walked in front of Wen Ci's mother in just two or three steps.

He thought that it would be difficult for Wen Ci to enter the password to unlock the door while holding her daughter, so he walked straight to the door lock and skillfully entered his birthday with his slender fingers.

"Ding—Wrong password!"

Xie Peizhou was stunned. Did he touch it by mistake?

After several times in a row, "Ding Ding - the password is wrong multiple times!"

Xie Peizhou's face darkened and he looked at Wen Ci, "Is the touch screen broken? Find someone to replace it with a good lock tomorrow!"

Wen Ci came forward holding her daughter and whispered, "Uncle, let me do it."

Xie Peizhou frowned and stepped back.

Wen Ci held her daughter in one hand and nimbly entered a string of numbers on the input pad with her fingers.

"Ding——The door is open, welcome home~"

Wen Ci carried her daughter into the house, and Xie Peizhou followed behind.

His tone was cold and gloomy. "Wen Ci, did you change your password?"
