Chapter 59 Nian Nian is also your biological daughter
After separating from Wang Zilong and his son, Wen Ci immediately noticed the change in her daughter's mood, from sunny and bright the previous second to dark and cloudy.
The little girl didn't wait for Wen Ci, but walked forward with her head down.
"When we were abroad, Dad always said it was too far away and he couldn't take long enough leave to fly over to celebrate my birthday with me. Today we are in Beijing, and you said Dad works there. If he doesn't celebrate my birthday with me this time, it means he doesn't love me at all, just like Wang Zilong said!"
Wen Ci walked behind her and saw her raise her hand to wipe her eyes, "Then I don't like him anymore!"
For a moment, Wen Ci's heart felt sour, filled with heartache and guilt.
She herself had a happy childhood, with the company of her parents when she was young. She could personally feel the daughter's almost longing need for her father.
Xie Yiyi did not go home that night.
The next day, Wen Ci picked up her daughter from get off work and saw Xie Yiyi slumped on the sofa.
"Godmother, why did you get so many mosquito bites again?"
Nian Nian ran over and saw the red "mosquito bites" on Xie Yiyi's neck. Her eyes were filled with heartache. She immediately ran back to the room and got some toilet water to apply on her.
Xie Yiyi touched the little girl's head awkwardly, "Thank you, Nianbao."
At night, after their daughter fell asleep, Wen Ci and Xie Yiyi had a heart-to-heart talk on the sofa.
Nian Nian is growing up day by day and understands more and more things. In previous years, when her father was not present on her birthday, the young girl would be easily coaxed by Wen Ci and Xie Yiyi with other things to divert her attention and have a happy birthday.
But this year, her daughter's depressed and disappointed tone made her realize that if her father did not attend her birthday anniversary again, her young heart would hate this father who brought her into this world but never accompanied her.
Xie Yiyi suggested: "How about finding an actor?"
Wen Ci leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly, "I've thought about it, but on her birthday last year, Nian Nian cried and wanted to see her father. I gave her a photo of an actor's audition and said that her father sent it to her specially for her birthday. Now, trying to find that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"What should we do then?"
Xie Yiyi pinched his eyebrows and also had a headache.
The little girl was looking forward to her birthday and her father's appearance with great joy, but she didn't know that what was waiting for her was false joy and deep disappointment.
Suddenly, Wen Ci's phone vibrated and the note "Uncle" popped up on the screen.
Wen Ci was stunned for a moment, but still answered the phone, "Uncle, is there anything I can do for you?"
On the other end of the phone, Xie Peizhou had just finished a social event. Several of the bosses who had dinner together were married. When the dinner was coming to an end, several people's cell phones rang one after another. Some were wives, and some were children, reminding their husbands or fathers to drink less and go home early. Their faces were full of happy helplessness.
But his phone was quiet and no one disturbed him.
He remembered that five years ago, when he had social engagements in the evening, Wen Ci would call him or send him messages to ask about his health and ask him to drink less and come home earlier.
The man looked at the receding night scene outside the window and felt uncomfortable with the respectful title "you" she used.
But it was all his own fault. Five years ago, he sternly corrected her, "Wen Ci, I'll say it again, don't call me by my name. I'm your elder, you should respect me, not fall in love with me!"
To this day.
Oh……
"Uncle?"
Perhaps because he hadn't responded for a long time, Wen Ci called him again.
Xie Peizhou's voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep regret: "Well, what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
“…”
The little sun who used to talk incessantly now always ends the conversation with him with just one sentence.
The silence lasted until Xie Peizhou felt Wen Ci was impatient and was about to hang up. Then he finally found a topic that interested her. "Your daughter's birthday is this Friday, right? What theme party would she like? It's her first birthday back in China, so let's celebrate it properly."
"Uncle, it's too much trouble, no need..."
"Do we need to be so distant between you and me?"
“…”
Wen Ci held the phone and pursed her lips.
Being too reserved will only make you appear guilty.
Wen Ci replied: "She likes Snow White."
"Okay, I'll send you the address after I arrange it."
Wen Ci took a breath and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"As I should..."
Xie Peizhou responded gently, wanting to chat with her a little longer and listen to her voice more, but the other party said, "Uncle, nothing else, I'll hang up first. Goodbye."
The phone was hung up directly.
Xie Peizhou smiled bitterly and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. The smell of nicotine spread in the narrow car.
Wen Ci was also worried. In order to make it up to her daughter, she picked out several toys and gifts that her daughter liked on the Internet, and planned to give them to her in the name of "father".
As in previous years, she wrote a letter as a "father", found a male writer online to copy it, and gave it to her daughter on her birthday.
Time goes by day by day, and the first thing Nian Nian says when she wakes up every day is, "My birthday is in XX days, will Daddy be back soon?"
Wen Ci gave a heads-up in advance, saying that Daddy might not be free, but he definitely loves you and has definitely prepared a birthday gift you like.
Nian Nian said: "The birthday gift I want most is for my dad to celebrate my birthday with me, hug me, and take a family photo of the three of us so that I can show it to my friends."
Wen Ci felt more and more guilty.
-
"A Girl's Heart" has entered the post-editing stage. On her daughter's birthday, Wen Ci was about to leave work early, but something unexpected happened at work and she had to work overtime for about half an hour.
Wen Ci had no choice but to contact Yi Yi and ask her to pick up her daughter from the kindergarten first and take her friends to the Snow White theme restaurant arranged by Xie Peizhou.
After Wen Ci finished her work, she hurriedly pressed the elevator button with her bag. Her phone vibrated and she received a call from Xie Peizhou.
Xie Peizhou: "Are you off work?"
"Yes, she's getting off the elevator now. I asked Yiyi to take Nian Nian over first. I'll be there in about half an hour."
On the other end of the phone, Xie Peizhou seemed to laugh and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you downstairs in the office building."
Wen Ci was stunned for a moment.
The elevator door opened, and there were three or four employees from other companies who were leaving get off work late. They stepped back to make room for Wen Ci, who smiled at them gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Soon, the elevator arrived at the first floor and several people came out together.
Wen Ci looked down at the message Xie Yiyi had sent her: a photo of her daughter, her head bowed in sadness and grievance. [Her dad wasn't there, not happy at all. I'm so heartbroken...]
Wen Ci's heart tightened, and she felt guilty and sad.
Someone next to me exclaimed, "So handsome! Whose boyfriend is so romantic that he picks up his girlfriend from get off work with flowers in his hands?"
"The handsome guy seems to be looking at us. Could it be you, yours?"
"I would be so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend."
Wen Ci raised her head and looked forward, her eyes full of shock and surprise. Xie Peizhou was standing at the door like a peacock with its tail spread out, holding a bouquet of pink roses in his hand. He was tall and slender, and looked noble and cold.
What was different from usual was that he was wearing a pink shirt, which was very flashy. Compared with his usual calm and reserved aura, he seemed to look several years younger.
He is indeed a "young" handsome guy.
"Aci."
"Oh my god, you're eating so well, my dear! Your boyfriend is so handsome!"
Xie Peizhou called her and came forward with his long legs, obviously hearing the last sentence.
Wen Ci's cheeks felt hot. Just as she was about to explain, Xie Peizhou smiled politely at the person who was speaking and handed the flowers to Wen Ci. "Let's go. It will take a long time to get there due to the traffic jam."
Seeing this, Wen Ci did not waste time making unimportant explanations.
She got into the car carefully holding the pink rose, so as not to damage the delicate petals. "Uncle, is this for Nian Nian? I want to thank you in advance on Nian Nian's behalf."
Xie Peizhou fastened his seat belt and said, "This is for you. The flowers for your daughter are in the back seat."
Wen Ci was stunned and looked back. It was a very girlish pink bouquet with a Snow White doll.
"Why did you send me flowers?"
And it's a pink rose.
Xie Peizhou looked at her flattered little face, his dark eyes gentle and his thin lips smiling. A small gift box suddenly appeared in his slender hands. When he opened it, a pair of round and smooth pearl earrings were revealed.
His eyes fell on Wen Ci's earlobe, which was not wearing any earrings. He picked up the earrings and leaned over, "Don't move."
A low, magnetic voice sounded in Wen Ci's ears, carrying a warm breath.
Soon, Xie Peizhou helped her put it on, his dark eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction, "It really suits you, Ah Ci, very beautiful."
Wen Ci's back stiffened slightly. She was a director and could be considered half a literary and artistic figure. The brand logo on the gift box clearly indicated that the earrings were made by a new Parisian designer and were very precious.
"Uncle, why did you suddenly give me such an expensive gift?"
Xie Peizhou: "Today is Nian Nian's birthday, and it is also your day of suffering. Five years ago today, you actually gave birth to a child, Ah Ci, you are amazing."
Wen Ci looked into his deep and gentle black eyes, and felt his understanding, and her eyes became warm.
Her mind flashed back to that stormy night five years ago. Her abdomen was swollen and the pain spread to her bones. At that time, she really thought she was going to die and would never see the person in front of her again in this life.
Fortunately, she survived the near-death experience.
My daughter is now safe and healthy.
Wen Ci thought again of the message Xie Yiyi sent her, and her heart felt aching with guilt.
She opened her mouth, and at this moment she really wanted to tell Xie Peizhou that Nian Nian is also your biological daughter.
