Chapter 224... He missed out on so much, so much!
"……What?"
Gu Jingcheng froze, his fingers gripping the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Xin Xin is...his daughter?
His and Weiwei's daughter?
Guilt tormented his heart.
How did Weiwei get through these five years?
She was pregnant and faced the hardships of ten months of pregnancy all by herself.
They survived childbirth and raised their children...
He was completely unaware of this and was absent from all of his child's growth.
How much did Weiwei bear all by herself? How scared and helpless must she have felt?
If he had discovered the truth sooner five years ago
He could stay by her side, watching her belly grow bigger day by day, and feeling the baby's first movements.
...He missed out on so much, so much!
What he owed her was more than just five years and an explanation.
He failed her throughout her pregnancy and his family.
"sister……"
"...Is it really...true?"
Gu Qingwan's tone also carried a hint of heartache.
"The test report is in my hands, Jingcheng. Now that you know, what are you going to do?"
Gu Jingcheng raised his head blankly, looking at the cold and empty villa, feeling as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, bleeding profusely.
He sat on the cold floor, burying his face in his palms.
His shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and hot tears slid down his cheeks.
He missed five whole years.
Now, Weiwei is gone.
Gu Jingcheng suddenly looked up.
Weiwei isn't in Blue City... so she must be in Jiang City.
Xin Xin is also in Jiangcheng; she must have gone back to see the children!
This thought instantly gave him direction.
"Sis, I'm taking the earliest flight back to Jiangcheng tomorrow."
"Come back tomorrow? That's fine."
Gu Qingwan responded on the other end of the phone, then seemed to remember something and casually mentioned it.
"By the way, you've come back at just the right time. Tomorrow is the engagement banquet of Shi Yanzhou, the eldest son of the Shi family."
I estimate that the Lin family will also receive an invitation, and they will probably bring Xin Xin along to make an appearance.
Then you'll be able to see Xin Xin.
-
The flight landed at Jiangcheng Airport late at night.
Lin Wei and Shi Yanzhou had just gotten off the plane.
They went straight to the Lin family villa.
The engagement banquet is tomorrow, so I should at least tell my parents first.
Although Lin Wei had already briefly explained the Shi family's current special situation to her father over the phone.
However, Shi Yanzhou insisted that he must come to the Lin family in person first.
In his view, no matter how special the circumstances, before the formal engagement banquet,
He was to formally meet Lin Wei's parents as her "fiancé".
This was his way of showing respect to Lin Wei, and also the most basic courtesy to the Lin family elders.
The black sedan came to a smooth stop in the courtyard of the Lin family villa.
The engine was turned off, leaving only the chill of an early winter night.
The lights were still on in the villa.
Shi Yanzhou got out of the car, went around to the trunk, and took out the gift he had carefully prepared.
I took a deep breath of the cold air to calm myself down.
His face betrayed his underlying tension.
The eldest son of the Shi family, who is always shrewd and composed in the business world...
At this moment, he was like a young boy, so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
He straightened his suit jacket and pulled his tie tighter.
His voice was strained.
"Weiwei, am I... am I alright?"
Lin Wei looked at him, his appearance completely different from his usual gentle and composed demeanor.
I felt a pang of sympathy. I stepped forward and naturally reached out to help him share some of the burden.
"Let me mention some. You don't need to be so nervous, you know my parents."
Shi Yanzhou stepped aside to avoid her hand, and gathered the gift closer to himself.
"No need, I'll take it. It's not heavy."
He looked at her profile, which appeared serene and cool in the moonlight, and a feeling of happiness welled up inside him.
His youthful affection finally led him to stand beside her and enter her home in this capacity.
"Shall we... go inside?"
Lin Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.
Shi Yanzhou, carrying bags of gifts, followed behind her, step by step, toward the door of her home.
He knew it was all fake, but being able to stand beside her in front of his family...
Even just a formal title could fill his heart with burning emotions.
