"Warm …"
When she saw her daughter shrinking in her arms without raising her head, she couldn't help but sigh. To let her face a stranger for the first time and tell her that it was her father, how could she, a five-year-old child, accept it?
"It's fine, it's fine …" Shen Canghao looked at her in a daze, but his gaze couldn't leave his warm face. The corner of his mouth revealed an unbearable smile, appearing extremely bitter.
She could not help but feel a pang of sadness. If she was Shen Canghao, if she was allowed to stand in front of him and yet reject him, she would definitely not be able to take it.
"Yan Yan …" Shen Canghao's eyes swiveled to the side and landed on her smiling face. He gave her a deep look and felt helpless, uncomfortable, and slightly resentful.
"I'll go back first. It's within reason that Warmth doesn't recognize me now. I'll come see her tomorrow. Moreover, my current state really did scare her." His thin lips slightly pursed as he squeezed out a bitter smile. He looked at her and saw that she still didn't speak. He sighed. He slowly turned around and was about to leave but his eyes were still on her warm body.
"Yan Yan, thank you for not continuing to lie to me and for not being able to see the warmth. It was just that I was already satisfied when I saw her." He gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn around.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around to return to her. He squatted down in front of her, and when their gazes met, he lowered his head and gently wrapped his palm around her bare feet, which had landed on the floor. In the room filled with cold air, the cold floor tiles made her feet feel cold, but he held it tightly in his palm.
"Yanyan, now that you're pregnant, you need to take good care of yourself. Even though the weather is very hot, you can't come out barefooted. Do you understand?" His voice was heavy, but it was so gentle. Her nose and face turned sour as she held her mouth tight and choked up.
"Don't cry, Yan Yan, don't cry …" Although I don't know much, but I've heard that you can't cry too much when you're pregnant. You need to be in a good mood. "
He lifted his hand to wipe away the tears on the side of her face, but he couldn't bear to move away. Lowering his head, he revealed a smile and said silently, "Zeng Yaxi seems to be very good to you. Don't worry, I'll do my best to make you let go of me, just don't stop me from warming up, okay?"
"Yes." She nodded her head with all her might, but her tears kept falling down one by one. He kept his promise and no longer disturbed her life, but why couldn't she resist the urge to cry?
"Didn't I say not to cry? Or should I cry? Is it a woman who is pregnant …" You're always so sentimental when you're pregnant? " He tried his best to suppress his bitterness and forced out a smile. In the end, he gently embraced her in his arms and asked, "Yan Yan Yan, do I really have no chance at all?"
He knew that there was no point in asking. If Joy was alone now, he would have gone to heaven to bring her back, but now that she was married and had a husband and a child, what was he to put himself in and destroy her family?
Huaiyan suddenly hugged him, and when her face touched his shoulder, she broke down and sobbed, crying but not being able to do anything, "Why were you cheating in the first place, and why did you treat me like this? Do you know how much I once loved you? It's like I died when I was separated from you, divorced you, and left for a foreign land. It's like I've just walked around hell. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for five years. The most difficult time for me would have been when Ashes accompanied me without any hesitation. Those five years wouldn't have been easy for me, but it would have been even more difficult for Ashes … You know what? Shen Canghao, Yaxi broke up with his family because of me. He couldn't find a job, so he went to work as a porter … "No matter how bitter it is, he has never left me, everything is for the sake of me and warmth. Shen Canghao, in my heart, there is no place for me to replace Ashes. No matter who it is, there is no way to replace him, and I cannot leave him, unless I die."
When she said the last four words, her voice suddenly sank, but her words were firm yet unwavering. Feeling the embrace turn stiff, it was as if she had lost all her strength.
When she was young, her heart had been with her father. When she was living for her father, when they first fell in love, she thought of Song Family, she was living for the Song Family, and when they were getting married, she was afraid of falling into a trap, afraid that she would fall in love with a man who didn't love her, but she couldn't help being immersed in all the gentleness he gave her. At that time, she was living for Shen Canghao.
She laughed softly, tears rolling down her cheeks. Her remaining life was willing to live for the sake of Ashes. When would she be able to live one more life for herself without being so tired?
Shen Canghao nodded his head, clenching her shoulders and hugging her tightly. His voice was hoarse and unbearable, causing one's heart to ache. "I understand, I understand. Yan Yan, don't worry, I won't, I won't disturb you any longer …"
He let go of her and staggered out of the living room. How could the sunlight be so glaring? His eye sockets couldn't help but feel sore.
His speed was not fast, and he slowly drove through the blazing, sun-like streets. In the middle of the afternoon, when there were not many pedestrians, he turned on the stereo, and once again, the song "May Day" came to mind. He remembered all the things that had happened before, and became absent-minded for a moment.
He promised not to disturb her, but he did not say that he no longer loved her.
Yes, he would continue to love her, no matter how long, no matter how cruel the time was, he would always continue to love her, he wasn't completely empty-handed, he still had a daughter, a daughter that belonged to him and his happiness, he would protect this love that could not continue, until he was very, very old.
