Even the stray hairs on her forehead were slightly damp.
Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Qiu Yuru affectionately patted her head.
"Alright, it's okay. You've already called him Dad. What parent would actually get angry with their child?"
Yan Xici was still a little uneasy. She wanted to say, "But wasn't the premise of him agreeing to be my father because of the baby in my belly?"
Now that the baby is gone, can he really forgive himself so quickly?
"But, but..."
Qiu Yuru looked at her with a loving expression, "There's no 'but' about it. Listen to your mother, don't think too much, and get some rest."
After saying that, he reached out and patted the girl's shoulder to comfort her.
Xiao Ran looked toward the closed door with unease.
"Then I'll pour my dad a glass of water."
If you drink too much alcohol, you need to drink some water to feel better.
He rarely came back, and seeing his father like this, he felt really bad.
Qiu Yuru nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."
The father and son hadn't seen each other for several months, and Old Xiao must have missed his son. It would be good for the two of them to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Xiao Ran turned and walked to the dining table, took Xiao Shengrong's cup to the kitchen, poured out the previous water, and poured a new cup of warm water.
Under the girl's worried gaze, he entered Xiao Shengrong's bedroom.
Xiao Shengrong lay on the soft bed sheet covered with purple mimosa flowers, and the pillowcase was also covered with a large mimosa flower, a really big one.
He was feeling dizzy and assumed it was Qiu Yuru who had come in.
He said slowly, "Alright, go out and keep the kids company. You rarely come back, and I've had too much to drink..."
Although he had drunk too much, his mind was still quite clear.
Today is Yan Xici's first day visiting, so as elders, they should naturally treat her well.
Looking at his retreating figure, Xiao Ran felt a pang of heartache.
He said guiltily, "Dad, it's me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengrong was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head around. "I thought it was your mother."
This woman, really, her attitude changed immediately the moment I forgave her, she wouldn't even bother to pour me a glass of water.
fickle!
"I was the one who wanted to come in."
Xiao Ran walked over as he spoke.
He placed the water on Xiao Shengrong's bedside table, looking at his father lying on the bed with a guilty expression.
"Dad, I'm sorry, we really didn't mean to lie to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengrong sighed and slowly sat up.
"You silly child, did I say I was angry with you?"
He was really dizzy and just wanted to lie down for a while!
Damn it, I had to force myself to admit I can't hold my liquor!
"Are you really not angry?" Xiao Ran asked suspiciously.
"What's there for me to be angry about? Are you looking for a wife or am I looking for a wife?" Xiao Shengrong retorted irritably. "Besides, are our opinions that important? Are you living your life or are we living it for you?"
To be honest, Xiao Ran is a good kid in every way, except he's too sensible.
I have only myself to blame.
He was busy with work when he was young, so he rarely took care of the children. Qiu Yuru was even busier. Xiao Ran knew how to take care of himself from a young age, and his thinking became more mature than other children from that time on.
Furthermore, being particularly considerate of other people's feelings is both a strength and a weakness.
Ultimately, everyone has to live their own life. Others' words are just suggestions; your own decisions are the most important.
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he was really worried that his father would get sick from anger, but to his surprise, his father wasn't angry at all.
This was something I really hadn't expected.
“You’re twenty-four this year and have already had a failed marriage. I think you should be more clear-headed about relationships than most people. If you’re really sure, then Dad won’t stop you. I’m not the kind of superstitious parent. Although I was a little reluctant before, the most important thing is your own decision.”
"I really like her."
"That's enough. To be honest, Dad is very proud of you."
Xiao Shengrong frowned as if he sensed something.
His eyes also became much more profound.
“You’ve always been better at school and more sensible than other kids since you were little. These days, there’s a term called ‘other people’s children,’ right? Everyone wonders why other people’s children are so outstanding. But I’ve never envied anyone else because my child is the most outstanding in my eyes.”
These were his honest thoughts. If he hadn't been drinking, he probably would have kept them to himself for the rest of his life.
After all, he would only ever praise Xiao Ran once, keeping the other nine things to himself.
However, if it's cursing, then it's a different story. After cursing ten times, they still feel that they didn't do well enough, so they can't help but add a couple more sentences.
Xiao Ran licked his lips, realizing he was really at a loss for words.
I came here to be scolded, but instead of being scolded, I was praised, which was truly unexpected.
......
On the sofa, the girl sat obediently. Because of her long legs, Qiu Yuru, who was also sitting, clearly felt that her legs were much shorter.
She poured the girl a glass of water, placed it on the white coffee table in front of her, and looked at Yan Xici beside her with a smile.
"By the way, the necklace you bought for Mom is really pretty. Since you're free right now, could you put it on for her?"
To be honest, she really doesn't need another necklace.
However, what Yan Xici bought was indeed different from what I had bought before.
It's a completely different style, and it looks very tasteful.
