But at two in the morning, Jiang Ping did not show up.

She yawned wearily and decided to go to sleep.

Jiang Ping wasn't in a hurry, and neither was she.

The next day, she drove Jiang Xiaowei to school in the town, then drove to the city to check out the transfer procedures for the house in the village.

After he was done, a whole morning had passed.

When they got home, Mother Wu was preparing dinner. When she saw her return, she strangely said, "Huh? Why did you come back? Uncle Jiang even said that you wouldn't be back for lunch today! "

"Is that so?" She smiled and did not say anything else. She turned around and walked upstairs.

Jiang Ping walked out of his room just as they were about to reach the top of the stairs. When he saw her startled, he opened his mouth and said with great difficulty, "I thought you wouldn't be back for lunch."

"Now that things are done, of course I'll come back and eat with you!" She smiled and said, "You can leave now! I went into my room to change. "

Jiang Ping didn't utter a word. He watched her back as he quickly disappeared behind the door. He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh as he slowly walked down the stairs, holding on to the banister.

With every step he took, his feet felt as if they were weighed down by a heavy burden.

Even though the day had passed peacefully, Jiang Ping was still suppressing his anger.

Jiang Ping's endurance far exceeded Xia Xinxin's imagination.

She had planned to drive him home after sending him to school that day, but after thinking that it would be her father's sixtieth birthday the day after tomorrow, she realized that the private detective had already found a restaurant for the banquet and the guest list and sent it to her. If she didn't open her eyes to Jiang Ping now, it would be difficult for her to do so.

His eyes unconsciously looked out the window, his fingers lightly tapping on the steering wheel. Finally, with a final clench of his teeth, he turned the car around and sped towards the city center.

That day, she didn't go to pick up Wei, but rather called Little Gao to pick up. She stayed in her hotel room until 11 PM before driving home.

When he returned home, the living room was dark and quiet without a single sound.

It seemed that everyone had already gone to bed.

She was slightly disappointed, but she did not turn on the light. She slowly changed her shoes in the dark and walked into the living room.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a "pa" sound. The hall was instantly illuminated by the white light.

Jiang Ping sat on the sofa with a solemn expression.

Xia Xiaoxi felt relieved. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Dad, it's so late, why are you still sitting here?"

Jiang Ping stood up and waved her over. "Come over here, let's have a seat …" I have something that I want to ask you! "

"So strange?" What do you have to say now? " Xia Xinxin pretended to look at him strangely and walked over to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Sit down first. Have some snacks first. I'll go get you a cup of hot milk!" Jiang Ping took a pastry from the tea table and handed it to her before turning around to leave.

Xia Xinxin felt guilty and hurriedly said, "Dad, there's no need! I don't want to drink it! "

"No. Have a glass of milk before you go to bed. Perception was not only beneficial to the body. Physical health, more can make your sleep quality better! It's not a big deal anyway. I just need to take a shower! " Jiang Ping hurriedly headed for the kitchen.

"Sigh!" There's really no need for it! " Faced with Jiang Ping's concern, Xia Xinxin felt embarrassed and ashamed for his despicable scheme. He hurried to stop him.

"Go out and sit, go out and sit!" Jiang Ping chased her out like a fly.

She had no choice but to go to the sofa and sit down.

His relaxed heart became heavy again.

Sigh! She was not born to be someone who knew how to scheme!

It's been a long time since I've designed a person, and before I've even started, I already feel like I've committed a grave sin and can't bear it anymore.

It seemed that as a person, one still had to be open and open in order to feel comfortable!

It was exhausting to design it like this!

He sighed and put the pastries back on the plate. He was too preoccupied to have any appetite.

Not long later, Jiang Ping appeared with a cup of hot milk and a bowl.

As Xia Xinxin looked at it, she felt even more guilty.

No wonder he had been in the kitchen for so long. Not only had he made her hot milk, but he had also carefully made her two mash eggs!

"Hurry up and heat up the food! Only by eating until your entire body is warm will you be able to sleep peacefully! " Jiang Ping urged her lovingly.

"Just you wait!" She got up quickly and hurried to the kitchen, a small bowl in her hand.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Ping was taken aback.

"I'm back after eating. I can't finish so much, so why don't we eat together!? "You an egg, I an egg, you can eat it all!" She laughed as she split the spoils evenly and personally handed them over to him. "Dad! We'll eat together! "Let's see who can eat faster!"

Jiang Ping looked at her smiling face and his pair of crystal clear eyes. His nose turned sour and his eyes turned hot. Tears almost fell from his eyes.

Embarrassed, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to drink the soup, completely burying his face in the bowl.

Seeing Jiang Ping so moved, Xia Xinxin's heart ached to death, but she couldn't poke him even if she didn't want to. She pretended not to know, forced a smile on her face, and started gobbling him up.

After finishing all the food, she stroked her belly and laughed, "So full, so warm!"

He stood up and wanted to clean up the dishes, but Jiang Ping held her hand and said hoarsely, "Put it here! I'll clean it up later. Now let's have a good talk. "

Xia Xinxin couldn't bear it any longer, so she released him with a smile, "Dad, if there's anything important, you have to say it in the middle of the night!" Why don't we go to bed first? I think we should talk about this during the day! "

Jiang Ping shook his head. "No." There are some things we should say first. We've agreed on it, I'll go and talk to Little Wei again. "

Xia Xinxin already knew that Jiang Ping was finally determined to get down to business with her, even if it was true. It seemed very cruel. Although it was already the time for her to reveal it, and although she could not bear to, she was already on the verge of being discovered. She had no choice but to give it her all.

Sighing softly, he sat down on the sofa and said softly, "Speak! I'm listening! "

Jiang Ping lowered his head and rubbed his hands helplessly. After thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "I plan to bring Little Wei back after a while." This place isn't suitable for us to stay in for a long period of time. I've been here for so long, but I'm still not used to it. I'il take care of you. Therefore, I have been thinking about it these past few days. Today, I have finally made my decision and decided to go back to my hometown. That is our true home. "

Xia Xinxin was a little taken aback. She didn't expect Jiang Ping to ask about her leaving on the spot instead of denying her relationship with him!

This man in the mountain had finally moved her. She knew that she could respect her child's decision without any complaints and let him go free. By the way, this was a decision that only a father with a heart full of love would painfully make.

Xia Xinxin bit her lips and shook her head, "No! I am very happy to be with you. Limit by. System? I don't understand why you suddenly made such a decision. Did I do something wrong to make you angry? If there's anything I'm not doing right, just tell me! I'll change it! But please stop talking about going home! We are one family, we need to be together! "

Jiang Ping smiled wryly. "There really is no limit." By? Do you really need us to be together?

"Of course! "I'm sure!" Xia Xinxin nodded vigorously.

She did want to make use of them, but she also wanted to stay with them as a family.

She had unknowingly taken them to be her family.

Most of the time, when she was unhappy, she would be delighted to see them.

"Alright! Why don't we just go straight to the point! " Jiang Ping gritted his teeth and finally decided to pour everything out onto the table, "If you really think we won't be your burden, then why did I kiss you that day at the cinema? When I came up to say hello to you with your boyfriend on my arm, you looked at me like I was a stranger and pretended you didn't know me? Actually, I can understand it too. We were born in poverty, but you relied on your own hard work to make a name for yourself. You cherished the fact that you were able to find such an outstanding boyfriend, so you didn't want me, your poor dad, to destroy their relationship. I can understand all of that, and I want your days to get better and better. But at least don't hide it from me, at least let's be honest. "I would like to hide in the corner like a stranger and silently watch your happiness."

At the end of his sentence, Jiang Ping choked up as his eyes became moist. He hurriedly lowered his head and wiped them roughly with his sleeves.

Looking at his miserable appearance, Xia Xinxin also felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Then, he said slowly, "The one you saw at the cinema that day wasn't me …"

Jiang Ping couldn't help but laugh mockingly when he heard this. "You don't even want to admit who you are anymore?"

Xia Xinxin shook her head and said confidently, "That's your daughter, Jiang Ying. She definitely isn't me, Xia Xinxin."

Jiang Ping was both shocked and frightened at the same time. He asked with a trembling voice, "What do you mean?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me explain everything to you slowly!" True. No matter how cruel it was, there would be a day when the truth would be revealed. Xia Xiaoxi sighed, and slowly recounted the whole story from beginning to end to Jiang Ping.

It took them a full hour to explain everything. Jiang Ping, who was initially shocked, finally turned into a motionless statue.

Xia Xinxin knew this was too shocking and cruel for Jiang Ping, so she didn't call him. She decided to let him slowly get used to it. She stood up, went to the kitchen, and poured two cups of hot milk before carrying them out.

"Dad, have a cup of hot milk." She was as close as ever. she shouted.

It was precisely this sound of 'father' that woke him up. He raised his head as if he was waking up from a dream, and looked at her in confusion without uttering a single word for a long time.

Xia Xinxin sighed, "Dad, you can ask any question you have. I promise to answer truthfully, I won't tell you a single lie."

Jiang Ping's shriveled and dry mouth twitched. It took him a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth. "Since we're not father and daughter, why did you bring us all the way from the mountains to live like a family?"

Xia Xinxin shook her head and bitterly smiled, "Dad, you're a smart person, you should know my purpose."
