After spending a relaxed weekend with Ye Jie, Xu y had to co back to the reality on the following Monday since a lot of work had been pending because of her mini-vacation. From the morning, she had been buried in the pile of work so deeply that she didn’t even find so ti to take a break for lunch.
Around 8 o’clock at night when she decided to leave the office, she was famished. While she was planning to make a trip to a restaurant for so takeout, she saw that the lights in her father’s office were still on. Frowning a bit, Xu y thought to check up on him.
As she ca near her father’s office, she could hear the distinctive voices coming from inside.
"Brother, are you really not planning on seeing her?" Xu y could recognize the voice of Wu Wang’s mother, Fan Bingbing anywhere.
"Xiao Bing, let’s not discuss this topic." Xu Cheng replied and after a brief pause, he added, "Also, why are you even asking this? Don’t you hate her guts?"
"Even if I hate her guts, you need a few answers. That’s your right." Fan Bingbing emphasized on this point.
"I wanted so answers but now that she’s happy with her son and all, I can’t possibly force her to rember that painful ti all over again." Xu Cheng tried to appear indifferent but Fan Bingbing knew him better.
"Stop trying to act like everything is fine. You and I both know how much you’d been hurting from the ti you heard about her having a son." Fan Bingbing felt a wave of fatigue crashing her. It was like this argunt alone was enough to wear her down. She took a seat at the chair before his desk and went on, "I didn’t like paying attention before but now, I checked. Even though she has a son, there is no husband."
"And why are you telling that exactly?" Fan Bingbing was a bit taken aback by this question since she thought he’d be happy to hear this news. "Don’t get your hopes too high... Xiao Bing, I’m seriously okay. Stop reminding of her."
"I’m reminding you of her?" Fan Bingbing asked in disbelief. "Brother, it’s you who never forgot her in the first place. And don’t argue with on that... You are still wearing the sa wedding ring that she put on your finger."
At this reminder, Xu Cheng looked at the wedding ring on his hand and sighed dejectedly. "It’s just a reminder that I failed as a husband. Not once but twice."
Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes at him and scoffed, "It’s not you who actually failed... It had to be your wives who didn’t know any better. Argh! I’m so angry right now!"
"Don’t let these things incense you this much. Here have a glass of water," Xu Cheng offered her so water before continuing, "I agree that once I was afraid to lose her but now, I’m more scared to face her."
"Why? You didn’t do anything wrong."
"I’m scared that I might really want to forgive her for whatever reason she had to leave and my daughter. And honestly, I don’t want to forgive her... At least, not for what my daughter had to face because of her absence. If she hadn’t left back then, I wouldn’t have been forced into a deadlock which led to marry Fu Lan." Xu Cheng’s reply was reasonable to Fan Bingbing. No one knew better than herself about the pressure he had to face just so he could marry Fu Lan. And the fact that if Xin Qian hadn’t left like that, he wouldn’t have to marry again was also true.
"Fine... I won’t force you to see her then." As the silence prevailed inside the office, Xu y was conflicted outside the door. She had already figured who they were talking about but in all honesty, she had no interest to know about her mother at all. She might have spent years trying to stay away from her father but in her heart, she was well familiar with how he had to fight with everyone in their family and Fu family all these years all on his own.
Taking their silence as a cue, Xu y knocked on the door and sashayed inside with a cheery expression. "Dad, what are you doing so late in the office?" She looked at Fan Bingbing and feigned surprise saying, "Oh my! Auntie Bingbing, when did you co?"
Fan Bingbing imdiately lost the sulky look as she stood up and hugged Xu y in a frisky manner. "Little y, I thought you would have left for ho by now."
"Why? You don’t like seeing here?" Fan Bingbing smiled at her as she shook her head.
"Obviously not! I’m glad to see you here. Wait for a second!" Under her scrutinizing gaze, Xu y felt a bit weird. "What is this? It seems like your husband really dotes on you."
"Huh? How did you co up with that idea?" Xu y asked with surprise.
"Well..." Fan Bingbing dragged the ti a bit and caressed her cheek saying, "You’re glowing like a light bulb. It has to be because of his love."
Xu y chuckled a bit before saying, "Or perhaps, my beauty products are actually working."
"Mmm..." Fan Bingbing bobbed her head up and down slowly. "That’s also possible... Anyways, I’ll still say that it’s the magic of love."
"Why?"
"Aiyoh! That way my old soul will still have so faith in young love." Xu y couldn’t help but giggle uncontrollably. Xu y would never dare to call Fan Bingbing an old soul since that term didn’t fit with her personality at all. She was more like a teenager even at this age.
