In front of him was the labor shed where his father, Zhongshi, was imprisoned.
He sighed, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for your kindness, but my father may not want to see me."
"How could that happen?" Xiao Jiahua was anxious. "Today is New Year's Eve. It will be dark soon. There is no one guarding here. Dad will see you."
Qi Keyan looked at her for a long time before saying, "Well, let's go see our dad."
Qi Keyan's guess was correct. When Qi Zhongshi heard that his son was coming, he didn't believe it at first. Later, he kept hiding and refused to come out of the house.
"I can't see him. I can't see him. I will harm the child."
Xiao Jiahua and Zheng Changan persuaded him for a long time until it was completely dark. Finally, he walked out of the room tremblingly and agreed to see his son.
Even so, there was still half a door between father and son, and Chen Zhongshi would not allow him to take even a single step inside, fearing that it would have a bad influence.
"Dad, are you okay?" Qi Keyan's voice was slightly choked.
Zhu Zhongshi also tried to hold back his tears.
The father and son had a brief conversation. When asked about his son's work, Qi Keyan remained silent and Qi Zhongshi did not say anything more.
Before leaving, Ke Yan said to him, "Ke Yan, you have to promise me three things."
"Dad, you say."
"I'm fine here. Don't worry about me when you're out there. You need to be a good soldier, a good person, serve the motherland, and don't bring shame to the Yi family."
"Don't worry, I will."
"First," Zhu Zhongshi glanced at Xiao Jiahua, "If it weren't for Xiaoxiao, I would have died long ago. Xiaoxiao has done a lot for the Zhu family. Now that you are married, you must take on the responsibilities of a husband and always respect and love her."
"Dad." Qi Keyan turned sideways and looked at Xiao Jiahua, as if promising: "Xiaoxiao will always be my wife."
Xiao Jiahua's heart moved.
In her previous life, under the moonlight, she had heard too many sweet words about "forever".
Only this time, she believed what he said was true.
Xiao Jiahua didn't know that from the day he received her letter, Qi Keyan had already determined this fact in his heart.
He nodded confidently, "Finally..."
He looked at his son, hesitant to speak, "Keyan, forgive your mother. She is helpless too. If you have a chance, go see your sister..."
But for some reason, when talking about his mother, Qi Keyan's eyes suddenly became cold.
He was silent for a long time and never responded.
Finally, he put down a bottle of Xifeng wine and bowed deeply to his father.
.
Xiao Jiahua was holding the hand of Qi Keyan as they left the compound, and she couldn't help but look back.
She cried out softly as she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. Only then did he realize he had lost control and quickly let go of her hand.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry." He turned his face away, not wanting her to see him looking so vulnerable.
Xiao Jiahua couldn't help but ask: "Why did your mother...? This is your private matter, you don't need to talk about it."
"Xiaoxiao, apart from work, I have nothing personal to do with you."
Qi Keyan said calmly, "My father went to study in France a long time ago, and later taught French at Peking University. My mother is a doctor in the hospital, and they have always respected each other. Four years ago, my mother suddenly filed for a divorce, demanding to sever all ties with her, and took my fifteen-year-old sister away."
"Maybe...your mother also has something she can't tell you." Xiao Jiahua said tactfully.
"You can't force feelings. I can understand my parents' divorce. My sister is studying at a medical school and will be a nurse after graduation. It's only natural for her to stay with our mother. But I can't accept it..."
Qi Keyan was in pain and confusion. "Less than three days after their divorce, my father was reported for making friends with foreigners during his study abroad. The evidence was the correspondence between him and several French classmates..."
The whistleblower speaks for himself.
Xiao Jiahua didn't know how to comfort him. She had no right to judge anyone.
So she said nothing, but just stood on tiptoe and hugged him gently.
