It’s just that Xia Yunxi wanted to hide, but Li Hanting didn’t do as she wished.
When Xia Yunxi turned to go into the kitchen, Li Hanting's voice sounded behind her. It was very light, but it was serious: "Xia Yunxi, let's talk."
It was just an ordinary sentence, but after the last syllable fell, Xia Yunxi felt inexplicably nervous.
She didn't say anything and put the dishes in the kitchen sink without washing them.
Aunt Lin was responsible for all of this. However, Xia Yunxi casually opened the cup sterilizer, washed her hands, and then turned and left the kitchen.
I wonder where Xia Yuan and Li Jinchen were sent?
In the quiet living room, a man stood straight in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
In fact, the first month of the year has not yet ended, and the climate outside is no different from that of the twelfth month.
The bare trees and leaves lack any green beauty.
Xia Yunxi came behind Li Hanting and stopped about one meter away from him.
Looking at the lawn in the yard outside, the housekeeper still has an eye for discovering beauty. The natural beauty is definitely difficult to maintain in this season.
So the housekeeper laid green lawns within the visible range, and then turned on LED lights at night. If it weren't for the chilly weather outside, it would really feel like summer, making people want to set up a fire and have a barbecue outside.
"Are you angry?" Li Hanting suddenly asked.
Xia Yunxi turned her head to look at him. Only when she got closer could she see the weariness that couldn't be concealed on his face. His deep pupils were bloodshot. Although he had tidied himself up, the vicissitudes of life were still evident from the inside out.
Xia Yunxi suddenly felt a pain in her heart...
I don’t know why, I just feel this way.
Li Hanting turned to look at her. Seeing that her expression hadn't changed at all, he frowned slightly, but still said, "Xu Yi has suffered from congenital heart disease since childhood. He seemed to be getting better after returning from Japan, but for some reason he suddenly became ill and fell into a coma."
"Do you have a good relationship with him?" Xia Yunxi has been silent since Li Hanting came back, and has not said a word to him.
When she spoke at this moment, her voice was a little hoarse.
"We used to be lovers." Li Hanting didn't think there was anything to hide.
"So...what now?" Xia Yunxi was not the type to procrastinate.
After disappearing for so many days, he really should give himself an explanation.
This explanation not only explains his whereabouts, but also many other things that were already unclear.
Xia Yunxi felt that it was necessary to talk it out, whether to stay or leave.
She should be given an answer instead of relying on her own guessing.
"Just friends." Li Hanting said with a frown.
"Are you a little unhappy?" Xia Yunxi kept looking at him and asking questions.
"No!" Li Hanting did not dodge or evade. He stood in front of her with an unclear look in his eyes.
"Actually, I understand why you're upset. What kind of person is Li Hanting? When I provoked you, you know, I was hiding in the basement... watching you on the news.
I feel like you are the morning star in the sky, and I am just a weed on the ground.
You have the potential to be the brightest star, but I have tarnished you and stained your life."
"It seems too late to talk about this now. After all, we already have a child." Xia Yunxi laughed self-deprecatingly, "You must be impatient with my questioning. You are such a proud person, standing at the top of the pyramid.
It's actually quite out of character for you to explain your whereabouts to someone like me."
The more Li Hanting listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. A hint of displeasure truly appeared on his stern face: "There's no need to demean yourself so much."
"Li Hanting, actually, I feel that sometimes we don't even seem like lovers at all." Xia Yunxi said seriously.
"What do you want to say?"
"For example, you disappeared for so long. Although I think of you sometimes, you don't appear in my life all the time.
When I went to Mr. Li's place, I knew there was danger, but the first thing I thought of was not relying on you."
"When Li Haitingtian wanted to throw An An, I rushed out myself. Just like in the past five years, I faced any problem myself.
I have never thought about relying on others, or that I can still rely on others."
This was the first time Li Hanting heard Xia Yunxi express his true feelings over the past five years.
If I used to talk calmly about how difficult it was to raise a child alone and how I persevered to survive.
That kind of picture is admirable.
But it's just admiration, not heartache.
Listening to Xia Yunxi telling him her experience in an extremely truthful way, Li Hanting suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
This woman...
Xia Yunxi lowered her head and smiled, "Don't you feel that there is actually something between us? I feel that you are so far away, no matter what you said, whether it is engagement or marriage - are you together?
But even if everything is put into practice, I still feel that it is not real."
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Xia Yunxi looked at him seriously and asked.
The woman's beautiful face was hidden, and her eyes were clear and radiant. When she looked at you seriously, it was as if there were stars in them.
She said that she was the morning star in the sky, but when you really live with this woman, you will find that the morning star also needs the backdrop of the night.
And Xia Yunxi is the dark night sky. She doesn't need to stand out. Just having her by my side makes me feel comfortable and accustomed.
Li Hanting's lips curled up slowly. Xia Yunxi continued, "When I'm with you, I don't feel... I mean, I'm saying that I've changed with that person around me. Maybe, but the distance between us is not easy to cross."
"Li Hanting, do you like me? Or rather, do you love me?"
"Look, to be frank, the way we get along is just like we got married for pregnancy, and we treat each other with respect.
After all, we are the biological parents of the two children, and no matter what, we will not treat them unfairly.
Let their childhood be full of incompleteness and regrets."
"But considering the two children, I didn't think about myself. I am still quite greedy."
Xia Yunxi finally said out all the words that had been pent up in her heart. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed to feel relaxed all over.
She didn't even look at Li Hanting's expression. After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, put away all her thoughts, turned around and was about to leave.
The man's cold voice rang out at this moment: "Sorry, I didn't think that much."
