Chapter 163 Conversation
Li Feng made an appointment with Qin An to meet, and they chose a western-style restaurant with a strong classical atmosphere. The soft lighting and soothing music created a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.
Qin An sat at the dining table, watching Li Feng as she entered the restaurant. She was dressed in a simple yet exquisite dress, her figure erect and her demeanor elegant. Time seemed to have left few marks on her face, which remained bright and elegant.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still the same as before." Qin An said softly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"You haven't gotten old either!" Li Feng responded with a smile and a gentle tone.
"Thank you for coming to see me. I'm really happy." Qin An said in a gentle and casual tone.
"I came to meet you just to tell you not to try to contact me or disturb my family again. We already have our own lives, and I am very happy now." Li Feng's voice was calm, but her eyes revealed firmness and determination.
"Feng'er, back then..." Qin An tried to explain what happened in the past.
"Please call me Li Feng. No matter what the reason was, you were the one who left me first. Later, I met Lao Yao. He treated me very well, and we have been living a peaceful and happy life. So, please don't bother me anymore." Li Feng interrupted him and her tone became serious.
"I'm sorry! I know I hurt you before, but I have been thinking about you all these years. This time I came back, I want to make it up to you!" Qin An said sincerely.
"I'm living a good life and don't need your concern. But please don't contact me again and don't bother Yao Qian. She is the child of Lao Yao and me and has nothing to do with you. Please don't disturb her life." Li Feng answered firmly.
"I just suspected it before. Since you can come to see me, it means she must be my child! I can't let my child call someone else father." Qin An's tone was gentle but firm.
Hearing this, Li Feng's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Qin An, how did you leave me behind back then? I endured countless difficult nights on my own.
For the past 20 years, Lao Yao and I have taken care of Yao Qian.
How dare you say she is your daughter?
If you really want to make this known to everyone, I will have no face to live in this world."
Qin An listened and nervously grabbed Lin Feng's hand. "Lin Feng, I'm sorry for you. You can divorce me and leave here with me, okay?"
"Stop joking. Don't you think it's ridiculous? If you had any doubts, why didn't you show up earlier? It's not even 20 years, and you're done with it with just an apology?" Li Feng asked in a low growl.
"My parents passed away just last year. They had always been threatening death, so I... I am sorry for you, Li Feng, and I am sorry for our child." He lowered his head with sadness in his eyes.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. It's all in the past. I've let it go, and you should let it go too!" Her eyes were no longer bright. The love she longed for had disappeared the moment she was abandoned.
Qin An was silent for a moment. "I am sorry for you! I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I still have one request. I want to recognize Yao Qian."
"Can't!"
"Yao Qian and Yu Sheng are not a good match. Yu Sheng is much older than her, and his company has just been whitewashed, so there are still many risks.
She is my daughter. She can meet more successful people, receive a better education, and my future family business can be left to her alone."
"No need!" Li Feng refused in a cold tone.
"Li Feng, you can be angry with me, but you can't stop us from recognizing each other as blood relatives!"
"She, Yao Qian, is the child of Old Yao and me. She always was and will always be. If you insist on disturbing our lives as mother and daughter, then I will not hesitate to make public how cruelly you abandoned me and ignored me." Li Feng's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of determination.
Hearing this, Qin An panicked: "I... I didn't want to do this! I was really desperate at the time, so I made that choice."
"Don't want to? But you still did it. Isn't it too late to say these words now?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Feng's voice.
"Could you please not talk to me in this way? Ever since I left you, I have been in pain and regret my decision every day. Moreover, for your sake, I have not yet married." Qin An tried to explain, but his words sounded a little weak.
"That's just because you are unwilling to give up. It has nothing to do with me. I have become accustomed to the days without you. Please don't disturb my life and Yao Qian's life anymore." Li Feng said mercilessly.
After saying this, Li Feng stood up and prepared to leave. But when she reached the door, she stopped, looked back at Qin An, and said in a serious tone, "While you're still young, find someone to marry! Otherwise, when you're a hundred years old, I won't let Yao Qian be your funeral chaplain. Unless I'm gone, you'll never see Yao Qian again in this lifetime."
Li Feng truly harbored deep resentment. During those long years of abandonment, she endured the pain and pressure of being pregnant out of wedlock alone. If she hadn't met Old Yao, it would have been difficult for her to raise Yao Qian to adulthood. (In Yao Qian's mother's time, getting pregnant out of wedlock was considered a slut and was scolded and beaten.)
But now, Qin An shamelessly wanted to recognize his daughter, which she could not accept. In her opinion, only when she was no longer in this world would Qin An have the opportunity to recognize Yao Qian.
"I... I understand! Don't attack me with such words. I don't admit it, is that not enough?" Qin An looked sad.
Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, I hope you can keep your promise. Goodbye." After that, she turned and left the restaurant, leaving Qin An sitting there alone with a heavy heart.
