Chapter 23 Father and Daughter Meet
Wen Ci forgot where she saw it, but if you encounter a bad guy, shouting "Robbery, robbery" is more likely to get help from people around you than shouting "Help, help me."
After all, when it comes to matters involving human life, everyone will hesitate, but when it comes to robbery, which does not involve life, it can be considered a "heroic act" that one can do to the best of one's ability.
As soon as Wen Ci shouted, the security guard in the security room heard it and immediately rushed out with a security baton, "Stop!"
On this side, Wen Ci's mouth was covered by the other party's big hand.
The man wrapped her in his arms from behind, his thin lips pressed against her ear, and his low, magnetic voice reached her eardrum, "Don't shout, it's me."
The familiar voice almost made Wen Ci's legs go weak.
Gradually, Xie Peizhou's unique cool cedar scent mixed with the smell of alcohol also spread into her breath.
"Woo-woo (uncle)?"
"Let our owner go, or I'll call the police!"
The security guard rushed over, looking nervously at the extraordinary man behind Wen Ci.
A cold and steady face, exuding the nobility of a superior from head to toe, does not look like a "robber" at all.
Xie Peizhou glanced at the security guard with cold black eyes. The security guard was quite responsible.
He let go of Wen Ci.
"Owner, are you okay? Come to me!"
Wen Ci said awkwardly: "Sorry, he is not a bad person."
Security guard: “Ah”
Wen Ci: "This is my uncle. It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly."
Seeing this, the security guard breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two of them again. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and he always felt that there was an ambiguous atmosphere lingering between them.
But...uncle and nephew?
I must have watched too many of his "The Domineering Uncle Falls in Love with Me" skits.
There is no such bloody and taboo plot in real life.
"Oh, that's okay. I'll go back to the security booth first."
Wen Ci watched the security guard enter the security booth and clicked on the paused short drama to continue watching.
She looked at Xie Peizhou beside her. The man had a faint smell of alcohol on him and stood tall in the dark. There was an inexplicable mature and steady mysterious power that attracted her and made her heart beat fast.
The next second, Wen Ci thought of Song Wanqing.
She lowered her eyes, her tone gentle and distant: "Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about late at night?"
"have."
Xie Peizhou's voice was cold, and he took a step forward with his long legs, closing the distance between them.
Wen Ci's breathing became tight.
Five years ago, Xie Peizhou wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
Even if we want to talk, we would rather keep one meter apart.
Why do I like talking in her ear or in front of her now?
The breathing of the two people close to each other was entangled.
Xie Peizhou didn't know what Wen Ci was thinking. He leaned over again, looking at Wen Ci's cold and well-behaved face, his dark eyes surging. "You haven't shown me your daughter's birth certificate yet."
Wen Ci was stunned and instinctively took two steps back.
As she approached the light of the security booth, Xie Peizhou noticed that she had turned a little pale.
His dark eyes tightened as he approached, his breath carrying the sharp scent of alcohol brushing against her eyelashes. "Are you feeling guilty? I guessed right. Your daughter's birthday isn't September 20th, it's June 20th."
Tonight, he attended an unavoidable social event and drank some wine.
Then my mind was filled with Wen Ci.
Why wouldn't she tell him who the father of her child was?
Why could Chen Jinghe know it but he couldn’t?
The more he thought about it, the more certain he became of the answer he had in mind.
He is the child's biological father.
My daughter was born on that stormy night. Her birth date couldn’t be September 20th, it must be June 20th.
Xie Peizhou dragged Wen Ci out of the elevator.
Walk to the security door.
Wen Ci watched him skillfully enter his birthday into the combination lock. The door unlocked, and then he said, "Ding—welcome home~"
Her scalp instantly went numb, "..."
Xie Peizhou turned around and motioned her to come into the house.
The man came last and closed the door.
There were no men's slippers at home that fit his foot size.
Xie Peizhou took off his shoes, his white socks touching the floor, and sat down on the sofa with a stern look. He looked at Wen Ci with cold black eyes, "Bring out your birth certificate."
Wen Ci's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips to meet his gaze. "If Nian Nian is really your biological child, what would you do?"
Xie Peizhou's heart suddenly tightened.
He said in a low voice, "I will fulfill all the responsibilities of a father."
Give her complete fatherly love, give her the best life within your ability, let her grow up happy and carefree.
Not just daughters.
The same goes for her.
He will be a responsible and good husband, work hard to make up for the debt of the past five years, and make her happy and stable.
Wen Ci smiled with a pale face, "Just as I thought."
She turned and went into the bedroom, and after a while, she handed "Wen Niannian"'s birth certificate to Xie Peizhou.
Xie Peizhou took it nervously. When he saw the birth date of "Wen Niannian", "September 20, 2021", his black eyes suddenly broke.
Wen Ci stood beside him, her voice cold but trembling slightly: "Uncle, do you believe what I say now? Nian Nian has nothing to do with you."
"You're right. I entered your bedroom on August 16, 2020. If it was your child, even if it was premature at seven months, it should have been born between April and June 2021."
"Nian Nian was born on September 20th. I became pregnant with her in November 2020, when I was already in Washington."
Xie Peizhou looked at her fiercely with his dark eyes, "Who is that man?"
Wen Ci took a breath and lowered her eyes, not looking at him: "Uncle, this is my private matter."
Xie Peizhou stared at her coldly for a long time.
At some point, he suddenly stood up.
Wen Ci only heard the loud bang of the door closing.
Then, the aching heart suddenly relaxed.
She collapsed powerlessly on the cold floor.
-
After this unpleasant parting, Xie Peizhou never came to her apartment to see her again, nor did he mention that Nian Nian was his own flesh and blood.
On weekdays, Wen Ci basically goes between the crew and home.
But every weekend, she would go to the hospital to visit Grandpa Xie.
She was very grateful to Grandpa Xie for taking her in and wanted to fulfill her filial duty as much as possible within the limited time.
Every time Wen Ci wanted to tell Grandpa Xie about Nian Nian's existence, she would be interrupted by Xie Peizhou and Song Wanqing.
Since learning that Song Wanqing was "pregnant", although Mr. Xie's physical condition had been deteriorating, he was in good spirits. Whenever he saw Song Wanqing, his cloudy eyes would regain their brightness for a moment.
The old man just felt regretful, "What a pity, I won't live to see the day when my child is born."
Every time Wen Ci heard Grandpa Xie’s regretful sigh, her heart felt heavy.
Grandpa Xie tried to comfort her, "Xiao Ci, don't be sad. Grandpa Xie is very satisfied now. You are not young anymore. Let your uncle help you find a good man so that you can get married and have children soon."
"Peizhou, did you hear that?"
Xie Peizhou glanced at her indifferently and replied, "Dad, I understand."
A month passed in the old man's increasingly weak life.
Today is Saturday, the day Xie Yiyi returns home with her daughter from Washington.
Wen Ci arrived at the airport early in the morning. Since returning to China, she hasn't hugged her daughter for almost three months.
"Mommy!"
In the spacious airport hall, a soft and excited child's voice attracted the attention of a large number of passengers.
Xie Peizhou and Lu Bingchen walked out of the exit in suits and ties, and were also attracted by the clear child's voice.
The man wore sunglasses on his cold and mature face, and looked in the direction where the girl was running.
Opposite her was Wen Ci, who was wearing a light-colored long dress.
Xie Peizhou's breathing suddenly tightened, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Wen Ci is really so dazzling and beautiful today.
Compared to her usual simple and capable director's work clothes, she is very feminine today, with long hair draped over her shoulders, delicate features, and gentle and charming appearance.
Xie Peizhou began to feel dry mouth.
"Mommy!"
The girl in pink overalls threw herself into her arms, "I missed you so much!"
Is this her daughter?
