If we're talking about stubbornness, neither Xia Chao nor Wang Ci can compare to Feng Guang. The food chain in the Xia family is like this: Feng Guang > Wang Ci > Xia Chao. As the people at the top of the food chain, as long as Feng Guang uses his life as a threat, Xia Chao and Wang Ci can only compromise no matter how unwilling they are.
Of course, before Feng Guang threatened to kill himself, Xia Chao and Wang Ci already realized what Feng Guang would do in the most extreme situation. They canceled the doctor they had arranged and replaced him with an obstetrician who was good at preventing miscarriage.
Xia Chao also silenced everyone in the Xia family. For the sake of Feng Guang's reputation, he would not let the news of Feng Guang's pregnancy spread. As for the child after birth... he would just say that the child was a relative's child.
Feng Guang knew that her parents' compromises had their limits, so she didn't object. A few days later, she received a call from an unknown number; it was Lu Heng.
"Miss Xia, how have you been these past few days?"
"Thank goodness..." Feng Guang gripped the phone tightly and asked cautiously, "I want to ask about that day at the coast..."
"If Miss Xia wants to ask about that man, I can tell you. I called today to reassure you."
Lu Heng said that as soon as the ship reached the shore that day, the unconscious Feng Guang was taken away by the Xia family. As for Qi Wei... Lu Heng took care of him properly on Feng Guang's behalf.
Feng Guang wasn't surprised at all, but every time she heard his name, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She and he had already taken that first step, and they were just one last step away... so that he could come to the outside world with her.
But unfortunately, one step was missing.
"Miss Lu, could you... give me his urn?"
"Since he's already gone, you should just forget about him. Why keep holding on to him?" After saying this, Lu Heng hung up the phone.
Feng Guang lay back on the bed, and slowly, her soft sobs filled the quiet room. This was the first time she had cried since Qi Wei left.
The crying was restrained and very weak.
Habit is a terrible thing. He used to make her used to having him by her side, but now she has to get used to life without him.
Later, the engagement between the Xia family and the Nangong family was finally dissolved. She heard that Nangong Zhe and his family were arguing about marrying the fallen heiress of the Yao family, and that Diamond Island no longer existed. These things had nothing to do with Fengguang, and she didn't care anymore after hearing them.
In late spring of the following year, Feng Guang gave birth to a daughter. Even though the newborn wasn't particularly cute, holding Xiao Xiao made her heart melt with her smile.
She focused all her attention on Xiaoxiao. Admittedly, she was also worried that Xiaoxiao might inherit Qi Wei's stubbornness. Fortunately, when Xiaoxiao turned three, apart from her eyes which resembled Qi Wei's, she did not show any other traits like Qi Wei.
Xiaoxiao isn't as terribly indifferent to family ties as Qiwei. She's very attached to Fengguang and even loves sweets. She'll express her desires properly, even though... she's been spoiled by Fengguang and has developed a bit of a spoiled princess attitude.
Xia Chao had said many times that she shouldn't spoil Xiaoxiao so much. Just like today, he was also lecturing Fengguang, "You can't spoil Xiaoxiao too much. What if she becomes arrogant and spoiled in the future?"
"Grandpa!" Xiaoxiao ran over with her short legs, "Horse riding, Xiaoxiao wants to ride a horse!"
"Okay, Grandpa will let Xiaoxiao ride on his back." Xia Chao quickly picked up the little girl and put her on his shoulders, taking her around the house.
Feng Guang looked at her mother speechlessly.
Wang Ci clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Your dad is an idiot."
