Xi Quan chuckled: "What a coincidence. I only started to suspect that I might have a child about a month ago, and that my wife, with whom I'm not divorced, might have given birth to twins. Later, my suspicions were confirmed. I do indeed have a boy and a girl. I, their biological father, only found out about their existence when they were almost six years old!"
These words sounded very heartbreaking. If someone else had said them, Ye Qing would have felt very sorry for them.
However, these words were spoken by Xi Quan, and from Xi Quan's perspective, they were indeed heartbreaking, but Ye Qing was furious.
"I was just about to tell you this, wasn't I? As soon as I got off the plane after arriving abroad, before I had even settled in, I called you. But what did you do? You changed every single phone number I knew!"
After I settled in, I gave Xiaoyue my contact information and told her that if I saw her, I would give her my contact information. But where are you? Where are you?
When I found out I was pregnant, the first thing I wanted to tell you was to let you know, but I couldn't find you.
Later, when I gave birth to twins, I almost lost all three of us. Where were you then?
And that doesn't even mention how many letters I wrote to you during that time, and whether you replied to a single one.
Not to mention how hard it has been for me to go to school and raise my child at the same time these past few years!
Now you're accusing me of not telling you I was having a baby? Who gave you the nerve?!
Every accusation Ye Qing made was like rubbing salt into Xi Quan's wounds, especially when he heard that Ye Qing had written him many letters; Xi Quan's eyes flickered.
However, Ye Qing didn't see these subtle changes in his expression. After finishing his accusations, Ye Qing raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had fallen without her noticing, and said, "If you insist on having the child, then go ahead and sue. Getting married was my own impulsive decision, and I will bear the consequences. Although the child was an accident, since the child was born, I never intended to let them go. Besides, it's not like I can't afford to raise them. I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not sure I'll lose the lawsuit."
After finishing her sentence, Ye Qing stopped talking to Xi Quan. Although she had hated Xi Quan intensely during those years abroad, especially the difficult years after her child was born, she had come to terms with it and no longer wanted to be at odds with him. She hoped to get a peaceful divorce.
But now that Xi Quan doesn't want a peaceful resolution, Ye Qing will have to accept the challenge.
After taking a couple of steps, Ye Qing belatedly realized something and turned back to Xi Quan, saying, "I have no objection to the lawsuit. I wouldn't have stopped you from seeing the child if you knew you were pregnant. But it's a bit much that you're preventing me from seeing the child now. This will be a weakness for you when we go to court later."
In fact, Xi Quan never thought about divorce. He was just provoked by a series of events. First, he saw the news that Liang Youjie might have a child. Later, he learned that the child was Ye Qing's, but the child called Liang Youjie "Dad". Regardless of the truth, Ye Qing was his legal wife, and Xi Quan could not tolerate such a thing.
Before he could even confirm the details of the child's situation, he received a divorce agreement from Ye Qing, who had sent it through a lawyer from overseas. This infuriated Xi Quan, leading to the current situation.
He didn't hide the child on purpose, but there was a near accident. If it weren't for him, the child might have been in trouble. Although the problem was resolved, Xi Quan didn't intend to prevent Ye Qing from seeing the child. He was afraid that if Ye Qing took the child away, it would be difficult for him to see the mother and her two children.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's answer, Xi Quan brought up a question he had raised before: "Isn't it too crowded for you and your child to live in Xingfuyuan?"
An adult with two children living in a two-bedroom apartment, although not spacious, is definitely not cramped. However, Ye Qing didn't want to argue about this with Xi Quan right now. She said, "Thank you for your concern. Staying there is just a temporary measure."
Judging from these words, Ye Qing seemed determined to take the child away. Xi Quan thought for a moment and said, "That house was just renovated, and the smell is terrible. You may not care, but it's not good for the child to live there, with formaldehyde and stuff..."
Seeing that Ye Qing was getting impatient, Xi Quan quickly took out another key from the drawer and threw it on the table, saying an address: "The child is here, you can move in with the child for now. We're not divorced yet, and my house is yours too. You don't need to refuse. Besides, I think you also want to give the child the best."
Seeing that Ye Qing was still hesitating, Xi Quan said again, "Ye Qing, don't impose your stubbornness on the child!"
Ye Qing did have a tough time abroad at first, but things gradually got better and better. She became more and more outstanding in the design circle, and her Qingye store in China was also making more and more money. She was financially well-off, and her house abroad was not small. Now that she has returned, the house she received as compensation for the demolition is indeed a bit smaller than the place she and her children used to live.
Of course, the children wouldn't complain about anything; they don't have that awareness yet. But there's something Xi Quan said that Ye Qing strongly agrees with: she wants to give her children the best within her means.
Seeing that Ye Qing's mood had softened, Xi Quan quickly wrote down the address he had just mentioned on a sticky note, then took the key and walked up to Ye Qing, handing him the sticky note and the key together.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing took the note and the key.
She wanted to see the child first, and as for whether to stay there or not, she thought she could just take the child away after seeing him.
Thinking about this, Ye Qing realized that he had been overthinking things.
After Ye Qing left, Xi Quan quickly made a phone call.
Xu Xiaoyue saw Ye Qing come out, and he didn't seem as angry as before. She asked, "Have you finished talking?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "Let's talk about it later. Let's see the child first."
He handed Xu Xiaoyue the note with the address written on it, saying, "Go here to pick up the child first."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at the address and knew that this should be Xi Quan's place. That community was a villa area in Nancheng that had been in high demand but low supply for the past two years, and it was built by Xi Quan's company.
After hearing what Xu Xiaoyue said, Ye Qing subconsciously said, "Xi Quan's business seems to have grown very well in the past few years."
Xu Xiaoyue said, "It's not just good, it's extremely good. In recent years, the arts and culture circle in Nancheng has gradually become more like other places. It's no longer called the arts and culture circle, but the entertainment circle. Moreover, reporters have a new title, something like paparazzi. Paparazzi are very keen on gossip about Xi Quan and have written a lot of gossip about Xi Quan, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or false."
After listening, Ye Qing didn't ask Xu Xiaoyue about the gossip surrounding Xi Quan. Perhaps Xi Quan had his reasons back then, but so many years have passed and he hasn't contacted her. Ye Qing felt that their feelings were probably long gone.
Having been hurt in her relationship and suffered a lot, Ye Qing no longer wants to talk about relationships. Her focus now is on her career and her child, and she doesn't want to think about anything else.
