Sweethearts are like lollipops

Chapter 705 Made a Serious Mistake Because of Drinking

"Dad." Xia Jiujiu called softly.

Yan Lingfeng came over and stood in front of the window with his daughter.

"Is mom asleep?" Xia Jiujiu asked. Her mother had been working hard all the time. She was so excited and wanted to decorate a beautiful room for her daughter.

Xia Jiujiu was worried that her mother was tired, so her father persuaded her to go to rest. After coaxing her for a long time, her mother obeyed and went to bed.

"Does Jiujiu want to rest too?" Yan Lingfeng asked.

"No, I slept a lot last night."

Xia Jiujiu was not in a high mood, and Yan Lingfeng said with concern: "Jiujiu's life suddenly changed like this, are you not used to it? But Mom and Dad miss you every day, and we look forward to seeing you again all the time."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Xia Jiujiu said gratefully, "Although it's sudden, I know you love me."

"Jiujiu," Yan Lingfeng paused, with a slightly heavy tone, and said slowly, "I'm very sorry, it's because of my father that your mother, and you, have suffered so much.

"Maybe you have heard or read about the matter between me and your mother before, or in the future, some gossip will reach your ears.

"But Dad wants to tell you the past very sincerely and honestly."

Xia Jiujiu looked at his father, his expression was serious, his eyes were filled with guilt, but he was extremely frank.

Yan Lingfeng looked into the distance, and then said slowly: "I was 26 years old when I met your mother, and Xiu was 24 years old, and I attended the award ceremony of the film festival that year as a sponsor.

"Xiu was the actress of that session, when she came to accept the award, I noticed her for the first time, even though she is already a very famous star.

"The first time I saw her, I was amazed, and I was deeply attracted by her. She is so beautiful, her gestures are elegant, all the beauty, but that's it.

"I pursued Xiu enthusiastically, like a boy in love, and this incident caused a sensation because of my high profile and Xiu's reputation.

"I fell in love with Xiu, but I was strongly opposed by the Yan family, especially my father. Because my father had a family friend, he betrothed me to his friend's daughter shortly after I was born.

"I don't like that girl. I have never been able to accept her character. When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she said that I was engaged to her and wanted to fall in love with me.

"I didn't agree, so I went to tell my father that I wanted to cancel the engagement, because I didn't get my consent at all! My father was very angry and said that the promise he made would be fulfilled, and the lady of the Murong family loved me so much.

"I can't talk about my father, so I resolutely went abroad to study and didn't come back until I graduated from university at the age of 22.

"I thought Miss Murong had forgotten me since we hadn't seen each other for many years, but she came to see me on the first day I returned to China and wanted to hold a wedding with me.

"My father was also putting pressure on me. I used the reason that I had just taken over the company and was busy, so I pushed back the marriage again and again. Until I fell in love with Xiu, this incident broke out.

"Under the strong intervention and threats of my father and Murong's family, Xiu left me and soon married someone else.

"After Xiu got married, I was disheartened and felt that I would never fall in love with anyone again in this life. During that time, I often drank heavily. Later, I made a serious mistake..."

Every time Yan Lingfeng thought about what happened that night, he still felt extremely remorseful.
