Chapter 18 Good News
Yan Zexun noticed that his daughter was in a bad mood and was about to gently push her away to see what was going on, but Yan Ai let go of her hand before him, took a half step back, and raised her eyes.
She did cry, but there was a smile in her tears, and she didn't look sad or depressed at all.
Yan Zexun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Didn't you say on the phone that you had good news to tell me? Why are you crying?"
Yan Ai brought the flowers she had given to her mother back to her. The crystal tears that had not been wiped away were still hanging on her eyelashes, shining like diamonds under the early winter sunshine.
Her eyebrows curved, and she forced a bright smile, as if the sky had cleared up after the rain, and said to her father, "I have good news for you and Mom."
After saying this, they both looked at the tombstone beside them.
She was only ten years old when her mother Su Min died of illness.
Yan Ai bent down and placed the flowers in front of the tombstone. Yan Zexun also squatted down with his daughter and looked at his wife's photo at eye level.
The father and daughter have come here to worship at this time every year for thirteen years, rain or shine.
Yan Zexun came even more frequently, almost every two or three months, so the tombstone was well maintained, with no weeds or debris around it.
"Minmin, our daughter said she has good news for us. Are you also anxious to know?"
As usual when Yan Zexun came to visit his deceased wife alone, he naturally began to talk and chat with her, chatting about daily life.
Although no one responded to him, he knew that even if they were separated forever, his wife could still communicate with him.
Yan Ai has always envied the relationship between her parents. Even her name has a special meaning. Yan Ai Yan Ai, isn’t she the continuation of her parents’ love?
It's a pity that she doesn't plan to get involved in love again in her life.
"Mom, today I want to tell you and Dad a good news. I'm divorced."
Yan Ai looked at her mother's photo and said slowly.
Yan Zexun turned around in surprise, first in disbelief, then became extremely serious, "Xiao Ai, tell Daddy honestly, is Feng Jue cheating on you?"
If that man really did something wrong to his daughter, he must seek justice for her!
Yan Ai knew her father's temper, so during the years she had been married to Feng Jue, she had always reported good news to her father but not bad news. Besides not wanting her father to worry, she was also afraid that her father would go to Feng Jue to argue.
Yan Ai shook her head, her tone relieved. "It has nothing to do with him. I figured it out myself. A forced melon is not sweet. Divorce is better for both parties."
"So I don't feel sad or wronged. I just feel the joy of being reborn, really."
Yan Zexun looked at his daughter carefully and didn't see any forced smile on her part, so he believed it.
He nodded, then reached out and touched Yan Ai's head, just like he did when his daughter was a child, gentle and loving.
"Our Xiao Ai deserves the best man in the world. As for Feng Jue, he is not worthy of you."
"Yeah!" Yan Ai nodded heavily, because she thought so now.
That morning, the father and daughter stayed in the cemetery for almost two hours before leaving.
When picking up the car, Yan Ai said to Yan Zexun naturally, "Dad, let me drive. I've reserved a table at a newly opened Chinese restaurant. I heard the food is very good. I'll take you there to try it."
Yan Zexun was stunned for a moment, then jokingly said, "You just got your driver's license, and you dare to drive on the road so soon?"
Yan Ai had just walked around to the driver's seat when she heard the words and stopped pulling the car door.
Yes, in this life, she had indeed just gotten her driver’s license, less than a month ago.
But in fact, she is already an experienced driver with nearly ten years of driving experience.
"That's perfect, Dad, you can sit in the passenger seat and teach me how to drive." Yan Ai smiled, then opened the car door and got in.
Yan Zexun didn't suspect anything and got into the car as well, sitting in the passenger seat, intending to do his best to protect his daughter.
