Chapter 2080 Taking the Initiative
Shi Guangyuan looked at her hand, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
Even though they are divorced, they have been married for more than ten years.
At times, they understand each other better than themselves.
Wu Xinqing didn't believe that he couldn't understand what she meant.
Now that she has taken the first step, it is up to him whether she wants to continue.
"It's not impossible to walk back." Shi Guangyuan said.
Wu Xinqing glanced at him and loosened his sleeves.
Listen to his reluctant and reserved tone!
"If you don't want to leave, forget it. I'll take a taxi and you can drop me off here..."
Before she could finish her words, Shi Guangyuan grabbed her hand.
"You're still so anxious," he smiled at her, "I'm worried that your feet will suffer if you walk back in your high heels."
He said and took her other hand.
"Besides, you're wearing so little, aren't you cold?"
Wu Xinqing did feel the biting cold wind, but after hearing his two sentences, she didn't feel so cold anymore.
As for these tiring high heels, it doesn’t matter.
"The shoes are okay, I'm not cold," she paused and said tentatively, "I'm just worried it might interfere with your phone call with the girl tonight."
Shi Guangyuan smiled and said, "It's so late, everyone is about to go to bed, why are you still calling?"
Wu Xinqing pondered over his words. He did not deny his ambiguous relationship with the female host.
She pulled her hand away and said calmly, "Young people nowadays stay up late and date young girls. You, an old man, need to adjust your biological clock too."
Shi Guangyuan smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a little girl chasing me anyway. If she really wants to be with me, she has to accommodate me, an old man."
After listening to this, Wu Xinqing made a judgment in his heart.
The little girl was still chasing him, but she hadn't caught up with him.
At least he's single now.
If I go back and chase Shi Guangyuan now, I don’t know if I can beat that girl.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she was shocked by herself.
She thought she was hesitating about whether to get back together with Shi Guangyuan, but unexpectedly, she had already made the decision subconsciously.
She said to Shi Guangyuan, "Let's go first, and talk while we walk."
She walked towards home, and Shi Guangyuan followed her silently.
Looking at the shadows of the two people cast side by side on the ground, Wu Xinqing thought of the figures of Xiaoyu's parents leaving together.
After meeting Xiaoyu's parents today, she was deeply touched and felt envious.
In fact, she also longs for such a relationship of mutual support.
She looked at the man beside her. Do they still have a chance?
Will he choose the young female host, or his ex-wife who hurt him so badly?
Normal people would choose the former...
She took a deep breath and thought, forget it, no matter what the result is, she has to give it a try.
For so many years, she could not face the pain of losing her daughter. She avoided reality, blamed the passage of time, and blamed herself.
But such escape did not bring her any comfort, but instead made her lose more.
Although her daughter's death is still the deepest pain in her heart, she doesn't want to waste the rest of her life.
Even if Shi Guangyuan doesn't want to start over with her, she still owes him an apology.
When her daughter died, she thought she was the saddest person in the world, so she blamed him unscrupulously. Looking back many years later, it was really too much and too hurtful.
Because for Shi Guangyuan, his beloved daughter died because of his negligence, and as a father, he would only be more sad.
It's a pity that she only cares about her own feelings...
I'll be home soon. At least I'll apologize to him before he leaves, otherwise I'll feel guilty.
So what should I say now?
But the two of them just walked side by side on the sidewalk. She didn't say anything, and Shi Guangyuan didn't say anything either, as if they were deliberately waiting for her to take the initiative.
Wu Xinqing thought about it and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"I heard from Rong Ye that you returned to Jiangcheng some time ago."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Guangyuan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
A boy on a skateboard flew past her.
"Watch the road carefully!" Shi Guangyuan reminded her.
"Well, thank you..."
She felt Shi Guangyuan's palm was very warm and wanted to hold him still, but Shi Guangyuan let go of her hand.
She felt a little lost, but then Shi Guangyuan took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. "Don't say you don't need it. Your hands are frozen into ice."
She gathered her coat, said "thank you" again, then looked at his hand and took the initiative to hold his.
Shi Guangyuan was neither surprised nor pushed her away, but directly held her hand, as if it was a very natural thing.
"Where were we?" he asked.
"Well, let me ask you, have you returned to Jiangcheng?"
"I went back and visited your father."
"Is he okay?"
Shi Guangyuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "Why don't you go back and take a look yourself? You still want me, your former son-in-law, to be the messenger between you and your daughter."
Wu Xinqing lowered his head, sighed secretly, and was speechless.
She wanted to go home to see her father, and she called him a few days ago and said she wanted to go home.
But her father asked her, "Are you coming alone, or with Guangyuan?"
She said, “Myself.”
"Forget it yourself."
"...Dad, if I don't remarry Shi Guangyuan, will you still not recognize me as your daughter?"
Dad chuckled and said, "You have such a strong opinion, how can I control you? I'm fine, don't worry about me, just live your own life. That's it."
“…”
Dad just hung up the phone on her.
Wu Xinqing also felt deeply abandoned by everyone.
She also knew that her father didn't want to see her immersed in pain alone, and hoped that she could get over it as soon as possible and live a good life.
But the old man's appreciation for Shi Guangyuan also made her very helpless.
To what extent does he admire this son-in-law?
That was several years after she and Shi Guangyuan divorced. Wu Xinqing's mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her father stopped all his work to take care of her mother.
Naturally, she had no time to take care of her father's company. Wu Xinqing was ready to take over. After all, she was an only child, and Chen Yuan was still in college. The old man had not deliberately cultivated other heirs.
As a result, to her surprise, her father directly transferred all his shares and company ownership to his former son-in-law Shi Guangyuan.
This is incredible to anyone.
Because Shi Guangyuan divorced her, it was equivalent to having no relationship with her and she was considered an outsider.
But Dad just trusts this "outsider".
At that time, Wu Xinqing also had her own company. She did not covet her father's assets, but her father gave the company to Shi Guangyuan, which shocked her very much.
She felt that Shi Guangyuan was more like her own son, while she, the daughter, seemed like an outsider.
