Chapter 279: Don’t Need to Tell Me the Answer
Translator: 549690339
However, five years ago, in order to save her, he did not hesitate to ask his grandfather for help and found her in the vast sea. As a condition, he lost his ‘freedom’.
This man, who was originally as free as the wind, had once held her shoulder and said to her five years ago when he found out that she had no way out,
If he doesn’t want this child, I want it.
I’ll be the father of the child.
I’ll give you five years. Tell me the answer after five years.
In a trance, these five years passed by her world like a fleeting white horse.
She still remembered what he had said back then, but she could not give him a response…
She thought that perhaps her world no longer needed love. However, Tan Qing had never experienced the beauty of love. He was so good, how could she just put him into a loveless grave like this?
The Chinese restaurants in R Nation occasionally made her miss the past.
After eating half of their dinner, Xia Lemon started to drag Xia Yichen out.
“Brother, come with me to buy balloons.”
“Alright.”
Only Tan Qing and Li Shengxia were left in the room.
Xia Yichen bought a balloon for Xia Lemon.
“Lemon, do you like Uncle Tan a lot?”
“Of course. In my heart, Uncle Tan is like a father.”
She saw that her mommy and Uncle Tan hadn’t talked alone for a long time, so she pulled her brother out. She had a brother, but her mommy didn’t. Mommy didn’t have a husband who loved her like other aunties.
Mommy only has Uncle Tan…
It would be great if she could become a family with Uncle Tan!
“What if we have a daddy?”Xia Yichen said.
“Where did our daddy come from? Didn’t mommy say that daddy had gone to heaven long ago?”Thinking of this, Xia Lemon released the balloon into heaven.” Let the balloon accompany Daddy. That way, Daddy won’t be lonely in heaven.’”‘
“What if there is?”
“Then I like Uncle Tan too. Even if Uncle Tan can’t be our daddy, he can be our second daddy.”Xia Lemon sat under the tree at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant. She looked up at the sky and said to Xia Yichen,””Brother, it would be great if we had a daddy too. This way, when we play parent-child games in the future, Daddy will accompany us. When others ask me about Daddy, I can proudly say what kind of person Daddy is…” “There will be soon.” Xia Yichen said softly.
At the same time, in the Chinese restaurant.
Tan Qing took out an exquisite small box from her pocket. She seemed to be hesitating whether to give it to her, but she could tell that the small box probably contained something like a ring.
“Tan Qing, do you remember our agreement five years ago?”
She was the one who spoke first.
Although she knew that his real name was not Tan Qing, she did not want to change it after getting used to it. Tan Qing seemed to prefer this name, so she kept calling him that.
Just like how she changed her name five years ago to Xia Shengli, but Tan Qing still called her Shengxia.
Because even though the past was already in the past, it still existed. It could not be destroyed, and there was no need to destroy it.
Tan Qing did not expect her to suddenly mention this matter. Her expression was slightly frozen.” I remember. ‘”‘
Li Shengxia paused for a moment before she said,” I think I’ve thought about it.””
Her eyes were so sincere that his heart suddenly beat uneasily. He put the box he was about to take out back into his pocket.
Tan Qing interrupted her before she could say the answer.” Don’t be in a hurry to tell me the answer. Actually, I’m not in a hurry.”
“Tan Qing, I…”
“Shh.” Tan Qing didn’t wait for her to finish and smiled lightly.” I told you, don’t be in a hurry to tell me the answer. I don’t want to know today.’”‘
The words that Li Shengxia had been mulling over for a long time took a turn before she swallowed them back. She did not continue the topic after he interrupted her time and time again.
Perhaps, he also needed some time to settle down. “Yes.” She nodded.” The dishes today are delicious too.”
“As long as you like it.”
Li Shengxia thought about it and took out a stack of carefully wrapped money from her bag. “”Tan Qing, thank you very much for sponsorship me to open this bridal shop. Now that I’m self-sufficient, I’ll return this part of the money to you first. I’ll leave the rest to you after a while…”
“Shengxia, we’ve talked about this before. This shop is my partner. I’ll pay for it, and you’ll do the work.”
“But you haven’t received any dividends all these years. Why don’t we treat this money as your dividends?”
“Shengxia… ”
“Tan Qing, I’m really grateful for your help, but I can’t accept your unconditional help. Otherwise, if I need your help next time, I really won’t be able to ask you.”
“Alright, then I’ll accept it.”
“Yes!” Li Shengxia smiled faintly, as if she would feel less burdened if he accepted the money.
Tan Qing already knew Li Shengxia’s answer, but he still felt that everything was too surreal.
Actually, he had plenty of time to wait for her.
He was not in a hurry to know the answer.
He believed that if he waited a little longer, perhaps some things would change…
At that time, China music was playing in the restaurant, singing over and over again:
‘The most poisonous hatred in the world is fate but not fate. It’s a pity that you never felt sorry for me, my stupidity. The youth that was overgrown with weeds was also peaceful. The growth rings that accompanied me in your place.’
” Counting the growth rings, I’m serious. I’ve sealed all my thoughts. They’re densely packed with my self-esteem. I’ve changed my separation time and time again. I admit that I’ve fantasized about eternity, but unfortunately, no one has ever acted out this script with me.’
As Tan Qing listened, she became inexplicably silent.
When dinner was almost over, Li Shengxia said,””Tan Qing, it’s late. Let’s go back first.”
“Alright.” He responded with a faint smile.
Tan Qing sent Li Shengxia and her children home. Xia Lemon hummed along the way, as if she was in a good mood.
Even though he drove very slowly, he still arrived at his destination very quickly…
“Yi Chen, Lemon, say goodbye to Uncle Tan.”
“Thank you, Uncle Tan. Goodbye, Uncle Tan.”Xia Yichen said politely as he got out of the car and waved at Tan Qing.
“Uncle Tan…” Xia Lemon crawled over and wrapped her arms around Tan Qing’s neck. She planted a kiss on his cheek and said with a smile, “Good night, Uncle Tan. Sweet dreams.”
“You dream too.”
“Uncle Tan, I will miss you.” Xia Lemon said as she reluctantly let go of him and got out of the car.
“I will miss you too.”
Tan Qing smiled and looked at Li Shengxia.
Li Shengxia held Xia Yichen’s hand with one hand and Xia Lemon’s with the other. She said to Tan Qing,’”‘ Be careful on your way.
“Yes, I’m leaving…”
“Bye bye…”
“Bye, Uncle Tan.”
“Uncle Tan, remember to dream of me.”
Tan Qing stepped on the gas pedal with a smile. She could see from the rearview mirror that Li Shengxia had been standing there for a long time before she turned around and headed home with the two kids. She did not know how she felt.
He donated the money that Li Shengxia gave him to a charity organization in her name. Then, he took out a lot of rings from his pocket and threw them into the trash without a sound.
His love, like this ring, was tailored for her, but he could never give it away..
