Both of them stirred the coffee in their cups, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qing Ke felt that the air was filled with the smell of violence, and she thought Shang Xin would be furious.
After a long while, Shang Xin finally spoke, "Keke, I'm sorry. It's Dad who ruined your life's happiness."
Qing Ke stopped shaking the spoon in her hand and looked at Shang Xin with a puzzled look.
"If I hadn't... imprisoned you in order to stop you from having any contact with Wu Meng, none of this would have happened later, and you wouldn't have ended up like this, becoming a single mother. It's me, it's me who ruined your life's happiness." Shang Xin said, her eyes moistening.
"Dad, I don't blame you, I really don't. When I decided to give birth to Cha Cha, I carefully considered the consequences. This was my own choice. First, I really couldn't bear to hurt an innocent life; second, I really like Wu Meng, and I want to give birth to a child that belongs to him and me. I don't know what he thinks, but I just want to follow my heart. As for the future, whether we are destined to be together again or not, I will be strong and raise Cha Cha, and I will be responsible for my own choice to the end. I have never regretted giving birth to Cha Cha."
Qing Ke paused at this point and reached out to grab Shang Xin's hand on the table.
"Dad, seriously, you don't have to blame yourself. What I need now is your support and Mom's. Cha Cha needs your approval and a warm home. I beg you to persuade Mom, okay? Let her treat Cha Cha sincerely and consider her a family member. I don't want Cha Cha to feel deprived of the warmth of home and have her childhood be tainted by this."
Shang Xin nodded vigorously. "Keke, don't worry. I will definitely let your mother accept Cha Cha and treat her like a little princess, so that she can be happy every day."
"Well, thank you, Dad!"
Shang Xin took a sip of coffee and continued to ask, "Keke, where is Wu Meng now? Ask him to come. As long as you are willing, I will hold a grand wedding for you. I will never interfere with you again."
"Dad, thank you, thank you for thinking of me, but I...I don't know where he is either."
Shang Xin's hands trembled slightly, and his face was full of surprise. "You...you don't know where he is?"
"Um!"
"Back when Wendou Company declared bankruptcy, it was rumored that Wu Meng's father was seriously ill, and he took his father to seek medical treatment. Since then, no one has seen them since. Keke, have you not seen Wu Meng since then?"
"Well! I looked for it, but..." Qing Ke said, lowered his head helplessly, and said no more.
"Keke, don't worry. Starting tomorrow, I will try my best to find someone to investigate and look for Wu Meng. I will definitely find him and give Cha Cha a father, and give you a complete Wu Meng."
Seeing Shang Xin's serious expression, Qing Ke was so touched. She never dreamed that Shang Xin would stand by her side so unhesitatingly.
…
Qing Ke and Shang Xin have now reconciled and are back to being friends as before. Qing Ke holds Shang Xin's arm, and the two of them return to the hospital talking and laughing, carrying the clear soup meatball noodles they bought for Bai Meng.
The moment the two opened the door to the ward, a pillow flew over. Immediately afterwards, Bai Meng's complaints and curses came like a torrent of water.
"Does it take so long to ask you to buy some noodles? Are you going to dig the ground and plant wheat, planning to make noodles for me after the wheat is ripe and harvested?"
Qing Ke knew that Bai Meng had a bad temper, but after not seeing her for four years, she found that Bai Meng's temper was even worse than before. He would roar like a lion at the slightest provocation, and would even threaten her life.
"Dad, I've only been abroad for four years. How could you have spoiled Mom like this? She loses her temper all the time. She doesn't look like a rich lady from the upper class at all. She's a bit like..." Qing Ke saw Bai Meng like this and said to Shang Xin jokingly.
When Bai Meng heard this, she was so angry that she grabbed the quilt and threw it at Qingke.
"You... you Shang Qingke, you... you ungrateful bastard. For all these years, I've been so worried about you, thinking about you day and night, wondering if you were hungry, cold, or sick. And yet you dare to make fun of your mother."
She was so angry that her face turned red and she wanted to jump off the bed and slap Qingke twice.
Seeing this, Shang Xin quickly brought the clear soup meatball noodles to Bai Meng, "Okay, don't be angry, Keke was just joking with you, can't you hear that? Didn't you just say you were hungry? Eat it while it's hot, otherwise you won't have the energy to argue with your daughter."
"Hmph!" Bai Meng snatched the noodles from Shang Xin's hand, gave Qing Ke a look of disdain, and started eating the noodles with relish.
