Chapter 5 Her Secret
Wen Ci's hand holding the phone tightened slightly.
In order to let her daughter grow up healthily, she has always said over the years that her father is engaged in secret work to protect humanity in the country, so he cannot be with Nian Nian, but her father has always loved Nian Nian very much.
She also often wrote letters and sent gifts to her daughter in the capacity of "father".
Wen Ci's eyes flashed with Xie Peizhou's cool and calm face, and she said gently, "Yes, Mommy saw it. But baby, Daddy is still very busy at work and doesn't have time to video chat with Nian Nian. But Daddy has prepared many gifts for Nian Nian, and you will receive them in about a week."
The little guy was a little disappointed that he couldn't see his father as he wished, but his mood became more cheerful after hearing that his father had prepared many gifts.
Wen Ci chatted with her for a long time.
Maybe it was because she drank too much, but before eleven o'clock, Wen Ci felt sleepy.
She yawned and hung up the phone.
I slept very uneasily that night and dreamed of many scenes from five years ago. My heart felt tight and sour.
One of the clips is that one weekend, Xie Peizhou accompanied her and Yiyi to Zhushi, the clothing wholesale center, to buy clothes. After trying on a dress in the dressing room, she came out happily and wanted to ask Xie Peizhou for his opinion.
Xie Peizhou stood at the door of the store with his back to the store, talking on the phone. It seemed like a friend invited him out for a drink, but he said he couldn't go. "I'm accompanying Yiyi and Wenci to buy clothes... Wenci? How could I like her? Come on, I'm just being nice to her because she's Yiyi's best friend, and her dad did me a favor. You don't know, this kid is so annoying..."
Several years have passed, but Wen Ci still remembers Xie Peizhou's extremely disgusted tone.
Wen Ci smiled bitterly. She could only say that Xie Peizhou's acting skills were really good. He hated her so much in his heart, yet he still managed to deceive her for five years.
When I came down from the third floor, I just heard the sound of a car horn in the yard.
With a "click", Xie Peizhou opened the door, placed the key on the entrance, changed his shoes and walked in.
Wen Ci saw that he was still wearing the same clothes as last night. His white shirt was slightly wrinkled after a night, and he was holding a packing box in his hand.
"woke up?"
Xie Peizhou walked towards her, his voice slightly hoarse, "I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and change clothes."
When passing by her, Wen Ci smelled a faint rose scent mixed with the smell of cigarettes in the wind. She also didn't miss the faint red mark on the collar of Xie Peizhou's white shirt.
Wen Ci took a breath.
She remembered that five years ago, Xie Peizhou had no smoking habit and never smoked in front of her and Yi Yi, saying that secondhand smoke was worse for the body than firsthand smoke.
She walked to the dining table carrying the takeaway box.
Big data is everywhere. Just as I opened my lunch box, a Douyin entertainment news item popped up on my phone on the table. The headline read: #XiePeiZhou andSongWanQinghadalateateattheclub,suggestingareback...
After taking a shower, Xie Peizhou changed into a set of dry clothes.
I took a quick look and saw that there were still eight or nine wontons in the takeaway box.
He frowned. "Isn't it tasty? I bought this from that wonton shop outside the Third Ring Road. Isn't that your favorite? Has their taste changed?"
Wen Ci looked at the natural concern on his face, and her heart felt like it was covered with a thin layer of plastic wrap.
She has been an adult for so many years, why does Xie Peizhou still want to act?
Isn't he tired and sick?
Wen Ci said softly: "I drank too much last night and don't have much appetite this morning."
"You can't eat that little."
Xie Peizhou sat opposite her and coaxed her to eat four or five more.
After eating, Xie Peizhou looked at her ankle and asked, "Is your foot better?"
Wen Ci: "The sprain is not serious, I'm fine now."
Xie Peizhou stood up after hearing this and said, "That's good, come with me."
As he said that, he walked towards the entrance.
Wen Ci stood up subconsciously, not knowing where Xie Peizhou was going to take her next.
But she is no longer the Wen Ci who was "crazy" and insisted on sticking to him five years ago.
On the contrary, she avoided him as much as possible and just wanted to stay away from him so that he wouldn't find out her "secret"...
Wen Ci said: "Uncle, where are you taking me? I haven't finished my work yet. You don't need to waste your precious time paying attention to me. I can do it myself-"
Xie Peizhou turned around and said, "Wen Ci, you haven't been back for five years. This time you come back, you should go pay your respects to your parents and sweep their graves, right?"
Wen Ci's voice stopped abruptly.
On a rainy night when she was thirteen, her family of three encountered a mudslide disaster on a winding mountain road. Huge rocks smashed the car to pieces. She was protected by her parents under their bodies for seven hours, and finally waited for Xie Peizhou and the rescue team.
The moment they were rescued, there was a loud bang and my parents were buried under the huge rocks.
When her father was dying, she asked the Xie family to take care of her and help her grow up safely. The old man of the Xie family agreed immediately.
Wen Ci looked at the young and gentle faces of her parents on the tombstone and gently placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. "Mom and Dad, Xiao Ci is here to see you. Don't worry, Xiao Ci has been doing well these years. Now she has realized her childhood dream and become a director~"
Wen Ci smiled and told her parents what had happened to her over the years.
She glanced at the silent Xie Peizhou out of the corner of her eye and saw that his slender right hand was rubbing the Buddhist beads on his left wrist. There seemed to be a strong emotion in his deep black eyes that she could not understand.
When Xie Peizhou noticed her gaze looking at him, Wen Ci avoided his gaze like a deer and looked at the photo on the tombstone again.
The man pursed his lips, and the suppressed emotions in his black eyes suddenly surged.
Wen Ci didn't see it. She whispered in her heart, "Mom and Dad, there's one more thing... I'm a mother now. Four years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful girl. I named her Wen Niannian. She's Xie Peizhou and I's child. Xie Peizhou didn't force me. It was me... who forced him."
"I know he doesn't like me, so I won't tell him who Nian Nian is. I hope your spirits in heaven will bless your granddaughter with safety and health..."
An hour later, Wen Ci and Xie Peizhou left the cemetery.
When we drove back to the city, it was already lunchtime.
Xie Peizhou stopped directly at a private restaurant and took Wen Ci to the elevator without giving her a chance to refuse.
After dinner, Xie Peizhou took her to a private studio that made party dresses.
Wen Ci reacted, "Uncle, are you going to take me to the dinner? I... don't have time. Besides, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to be your female companion, right?"
He wanted to be a million miles away from her back then, so why is he willing to let me appear by his side now?
Besides, didn’t he and Song Wanqing reconcile?
If she wanted a female companion to attend the party, Song Wanqing would be much more suitable than her.
Xie Peizhou looked at her in silence, and pulled out an invitation from somewhere. "Tonight is a charity dinner for the film investment circle. Aren't you going to raise funds and find partners for your script? Such a great opportunity, are you sure you don't want to go?"
