The peach blossoms blossomed and bloomed, and just like that, three years passed in a flash. In these three years, he had never mentioned Duan Wenzhuo.
Because this was Tang Hongbo's taboo, and no one dared to mention it in front of him.
If, if, his child is still here, he should be as lovely as she is now.
"Uncle, look. Look, is Yi Yi's snowman beautiful?" The little girl's face was red as she ran in front of Tang Hongbo and asked for credit.
Tang Hongbo looked outside and saw that there was a pile of snow that he couldn't identify, so he reached out and held the little girl in his arms.
"Yes, Yi Yi is great." Tang Hongbo would only be stingy with his smile in front of her.
But the little girl pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, I'm lying! Yi Yi isn't looking good at all. Yi Yi doesn't have the strength to do that. Uncle, can you help me?" Her childish voice made Tang Hongbo laugh.
"But Uncle doesn't want to go out because he's afraid of being cold. Why don't you go out and play by yourself?" Tang Hongbo laughed.
Yi Yi tilted her head as she thought about it.
"Uncle, are you unhappy?"
Tang Hongbo laughed.
"Who says that uncle is unhappy? Uncle is very happy." Tang Hongbo said as he reached out his hand to pinch Yi Yi's soft little face.
"Is Uncle thinking about Auntie? "But Mom said Aunt is gone, but Yi Yi sees Aunt every day, so why aren't you happy?" Yi Yi tilted her head as she asked with a puzzled expression.
Tang Hongbo stared blankly for a moment. Knowing that Yi Yi was referring to Duan Wenyu, he suddenly said with a serious expression.
"Yiyi, who told you she was Aunt's? Don't speak nonsense in the future, do you hear me? " Maybe Tang Hongbo's tone scared her.
She shrank back and obediently nodded her head. She had never seen Tang Hongbo like this before, so perhaps she was really frightened.
Tang Hongbo could not bear to do so and had to embrace Yi Yi.
"Yiyi, I'm sorry, Uncle didn't mean to be fierce, but you have to remember, Auntie Wenyu, it's not Aunt, okay?" Tang Hongbo said in a gentle voice.
Yi Yi nodded.
"Let's go, Uncle will accompany you to make a snowman." Tang Hongbo said as he stood up.
A child was still a child after all. They were extremely forgetful. As long as they started playing, they would forget about everything else. Soon, they would forget about what just happened.
In the past three years, although he didn't mention it or anyone else did, he had never forgotten about her. She was like a thorn growing in his heart.
Every time he thought of it, he would feel a pain. This thorn had already reached deep into his bone marrow, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to pull it out.
Every night, he would regret not having taken another look at her that morning. He would regret not being able to accompany her properly every day she was around.
He searched through many places, but he still didn't find any news of her. Gradually, he stopped searching because if he didn't look for her, he would've lied to himself that she didn't leave.
She loved the snow so much, she thought suddenly, watching the white of the garden, if she was still there, if their child was still there.
He would definitely accompany them and show her every snowy city in the world.
"Uncle, what are you thinking about? Quickly pile up! The snowman is about to melt." Yiyi, who was at the side, grabbed his clothes and stomped his feet.
Tang Hongbo could not help but smile. This little girl, she was spoiled to the point that she dared to order him around.
"Yiyi, what are you doing now? Why are you pestering uncle again? Have you finished practicing the zither?" The girl who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the garden was Meng Qingxia.
In these three years, she had changed a lot of things. She had also become a lot more mature, her temperament became gentle and virtuous, and her temper became much more restrained. She was no longer the crazy, foolish Meng Qingxia from before who only knew how to do things.
Perhaps it was because she became a mother, but she became a bit gentle. Her eyes were also full of gentleness.
"Mom." When Yi Yi saw Meng Qingxia, he immediately ran over and threw himself into his embrace.
"Why are you pestering your uncle again?" Meng Qingxia gently pinched her small face.
"Uncle is teaching me how to build a snowman." Yi Yi said loudly with a smile.
Meng Qingxia couldn't help but laugh when she saw the Snow Man that was piled up messily in the garden.
"Oh, really? That Yi Yi and her uncle are really great. Being able to make a snowman look like a piece of cake is also not bad. " Meng Qingxia laughed.
When Tang Hongbo heard this, he snorted. He threw down the tools in his hands and entered the house with a dark expression.
"Mommy, is Uncle angry?" Yi Yi asked, confused.
"No, uncle is just shy." Meng Qingxia explained.
In fact, in these few years, the person she was most grateful to was Tang Hongbo. Back then, he had strongly opposed her giving birth to Yi Yi, but when Yi Yi was truly born, he doted on her more than anyone else.
She was like a child that was deeply in pain. She called Yiyi 'lawless' and knew that he treated her like his own child and doted on her.
Because if she was still alive, then their child should be even older than Yi Yi. However, no one had expected her to leave without leaving behind any news.
These three years, she had watched him live a very painful life every day. Other than using his work to numb her, only when she was with Yi Yi did she feel a little human.
She knew that he had never forgotten about Duan Wenzhuo. Although he did not look for her nor bring her up again, she knew that he had never forgotten about her.
I wonder where she is now, and how she's doing?
She would never believe that Duan Wenzhuo would elope with someone else, as she knew how much she loved her cousin. But what had happened that year that made her leave so ruthlessly?
Meng Qingxia could not think of a reason.
Meng Qingxia carried two cups of tea and walked into the study. Seeing Tang Hongbo sitting in front of the french window, staring blankly into the distance, he didn't even need to think to know that he must be thinking about her again.
Meng Qingxia placed the cup of tea in her hand on the table in front of her.
"Cousin, the new product launch is about to take place. What are your thoughts?" Meng Qingxia looked at him and casually asked.
"Didn't I leave it for you to handle? "Why are you still asking me?" Tang Hongbo said indifferently.
"It's different this time. and I can make arrangements in previous years, but this year is different. Cousin brother, do you remember the letter of intent we sent to that famous jewelry designer in France, Chen Xi? However, yesterday, her assistant suddenly sent an email saying that Chen Xi has agreed to work with us, but I heard that this designer Chen has a weird temper. In recent years, her work has always been sought after by the masses and high class people, but she only saw her work, and this time, she doesn't see anyone else. It's quite difficult to agree to work with us to design spring jewelry with us, so I'm afraid that Secretary Wang and I might not be able to handle it. Meng Qingxia explained the entire situation.
But Tang Hongbo seemed to be uninterested.
"You've said so much because you feel that you don't have the ability to do it yourself, right?"
What I said was true. One must know that all the jewelry companies are currently competing to work with this designer, Chen Xi, and now that she has finally agreed to work with us, we can't just give her the cooked duck, right? " Meng Qingxia said.
Tang Hongbo seemed to seriously ponder for a moment before replying.
"Is that so? From what you said, it seems that Chen Xi does not have a good character, it's fine if she does not cooperate. " Tang Hongbo said lazily.
Meng Qingxia seemed to be truly angry.
"Cousin brother, stop messing around, Chen Xi is the designer that you told us to deal with half a year ago, did you really make us burn incense to worship Buddha or play tricks on us? Do we really need to finalize the partnership with Chen Xi? "What's going on with you now? It wasn't easy for designer Chen to agree. Did you lose your memory or forget?" Meng Qingxia shouted in anger.
"Is that so? "Then I don't want to work with her anymore." Tang Hongbo looked into the distance and said.
When Meng Qingxia heard this, she endured her temper. In her heart, she recited it a hundred times to herself.
she said slowly.
"Cousin, stop messing around, I know that today is the anniversary of your marriage with her. In these three years, it's as if you've changed every year, I won't argue with you, but it's been three years already. If she wants to come back, she would have come back already, don't torture yourself, okay?" How long are you going to be like this? If she doesn't come back, will you never get married and have children? Besides, today is your wedding anniversary, not her funeral. " After Meng Qingxia finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she spoke incorrectly and immediately shut her mouth.
Just as expected, she saw Tang Hongbo staring at her with a pale face, as if he wanted to eat her up.
"Sorry, cousin, I was just spouting nonsense. Don't mind me, I'll be right out, but you must take the matter regarding Chen Xi's designer seriously." After Meng Qingxia finished speaking, he hurriedly left this dangerous area, afraid that in the next second, he would really pounce on her and bite her to death.
She looked at the closed door of the study and sighed.
Every year today, he would not go to the company. He would give himself a day off, stay at home, not go anywhere. Sometimes he would stay in her room for a day, sometimes he would sit in her study for a day.
