late bloomer

Chapter 192 Missed
half year ago.

Lin Xiyao jumped from the helicopter into the sea with the heart of wanting to die.

Unexpectedly, he was rescued back into his submarine by a young man named Xia Haoxuan.

In the submarine in the deep sea, Lin Xiyao soon woke up.She firmly believed that the handsome young man standing in front of her was a good person, so she begged him to take her away so that no one on the sea could find her.

When 28-year-old Xia Haoxuan learned that the girl in front of him was forced to jump into the sea because she was imprisoned by a pervert, her sympathy suddenly leaked, and he immediately brought Lin Xiyao back to City B.

Along the way, Lin Xiyao vomited unceasingly. When she returned to City B, the kind Xia Haoxuan sent her to the hospital. After an examination, she found out that Lin Xiyao was pregnant. The B-ultrasound showed that there were two gestational sacs in her uterus and two fetuses. Heart - she is pregnant with twins!
At the same time, she learned that Xia Haoxuan's father was Xia Guoping!
Accidents happened one after another, Lin Xiyao was both happy and sad, the happy thing was that she thought she was dead in the sea, but who knew that not only did she not die, but there were two more lives in her belly.The sad thing is, she thought she would get rid of Ye Lanfeng from then on, but she didn't expect that she was still involved with him - he is the father of the child!

Having lost two children who would be born in the future, Lin Xiyao told herself that no matter what, she must keep the twins in her belly.

She knelt down in front of Xia Guoping: "Uncle Ping, please block all my news, I am willing to do my best for you!"

She knew that pervert Ye Lanfeng would definitely look for her, and she also knew that Xia Guoping would be able to help him.She told in detail how Ye Lanfeng treated her this past year, and when she was pregnant once, he gave her a check to ask her to have an abortion, and the second time he personally killed his own child, etc...

"Uncle Ping, the child in my stomach is innocent. I can't let Ye Lanfeng find me, and I can't let him take the life of the child again. I just want to give birth to the child safely and bring them up. Ping Uncle, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!! Just ask Uncle Ping to send me away, to a place where Ye Lanfeng can't find. Uncle Ping, please..." Lin Xiyao said in Xia Guoping kowtowed his head heavily in front of him, every time he kowtowed down hard until his head was bleeding.

Xia Haoxuan couldn't bear it anymore, and pleaded for Lin Xiyao: "Dad, just help her. She is so pitiful!"

Xia Guoping said: "Ah Xuan, Dad knows you have a good heart, but..."

He and Ye Lanfeng are the closest business partners now. If he hides his woman, if he finds out in the future, I'm afraid they won't be able to cooperate properly.After all, what businessmen value most is their commercial interests.

"Uncle Ping, I know, why should I ask you to help me? Uncle Ping, I beg you to be merciful, I really can't help it. I will definitely repay you in the future!" Lin Xiyao said with tears streaming down her face When she got down, she put her hand on her lower abdomen and stroked it gently. She told herself that no matter what, she must protect the child in her stomach.

In fact, she was also confused for a moment, she hated that man, why did she keep his child?She felt really mean.People often say that if you don't die, you won't die.But now she is, self-inflicted, unable to live.What face does she have to ask others to help her?
She just thought that Xia Guoping would not agree, thanked her, stood up, and walked out numbly.

Looking at her helpless back, Xia Guoping felt a twitch in his heart for some reason. This feeling seemed to have happened before, but when?He couldn't remember, but the feeling made him very uncomfortable.

He stopped Lin Xiyao: "Xiyao, I promise you."

Lin Xiyao, who had already walked to the door, turned her head suddenly. She couldn't believe her ears that he was willing to help her!
"Uncle Ping, thank you! I will definitely repay you in the future!" She said as she was about to kneel down again, but was supported by Xia Guoping.

"Xi Yao, where do you want to go?"

Xia Guoping was really powerful, he quietly sent Lin Xiyao away and blocked all news about her, so the people sent by Ye Lanfeng searched hard for several months, but they still couldn't find Lin Xiyao.

At this time, Lin Xiyao had been living in the farmhouse in Xishan, City C for more than half a year.

This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air is good, the farmers are simple and honest, and they treat people warmly, and her mood has improved accordingly. This is undoubtedly the most suitable place to raise a baby.

When Xia Guoping asked her where she wanted to go, she thought about it for a long time.A decision is made at the end.

She knew that she was pregnant with Ye Lanfeng's child, no matter where she went, it was impossible for her to forget Ye Lanfeng, and since she couldn't forget it, there was no need to deliberately forget it.Among the places she has been to, Xishan is her favorite, even if there are memories of Ye Lanfeng here, it doesn't matter.She believed that Ye Lanfeng would never have thought that she would come to this place with their fond memories.

At this moment, the man accompanying her is none other than Gu Chen, the president of Gu's Group in City B.

Although Gu Chen is the president of the Gu Group, as the eldest son of a wealthy family, he has no way of making decisions about his own marriage.He is a playboy wandering among the flowers. Although there are countless women around him, he finds that he has no heart. He has no real affection for any woman. He has been looking for the Snow White in his mind.

Grandparents and parents found a good marriage for him, which was actually a business marriage, but the other party was one year older than him.When he saw the girl named Chen Xiaoli appearing in front of his eyes, Gu Chen almost fainted. She was a tomboy, a woman, and she was far from the image of Snow White in his mind. I'd rather be a bachelor for life than marry a tomboy!Fortunately, the woman Chen Xiaoli didn't even look at him!No, he, Gu Chen, was relieved when she accompanied his sick mother abroad for medical treatment.

What does Snow White look like in your mind?Immediately, he thought of the girl standing by the sea in a long white dress, with long hair and a melancholy face...

He left City B this time because he wanted to take a vacation for himself and relax, so he chose City C. He didn't expect to meet Lin Xiyao in City C, the girl who stood by the sea and made him astonished!

It was winter when he met Lin Xiyao.She stood in the crowd, and he spotted her at a glance.Surprises rushed to him immediately.

Later, whenever he was free every month, he would come to City C to look for Lin Xiyao, or after the business trip, he would spare no effort to detour to see her.

Two months later, he directly confessed his love to Lin Xiyao, but Lin Xiyao directly refused.And asked him with a smile, she is a pregnant woman, can he accept it?
Naturally, Lin Xiyao would not tell others who the child's father was, she only said that the child's father was dead, last time she thought he was dead, but this time he was really dead.

Gu Chen was afraid that she would be sad, so he couldn't ask any more questions, so he answered her directly: "I am willing to be the father of the child!"

His answer made Lin Xiyao terrified for a long time, only thinking that he was going crazy.

Who knew that Gu Chen came to the truth, seeing Lin Xiyao's belly getting bigger, he was actually happy, and sometimes he would feel the fetal movement against her belly, as if he was really the father of the child.

The people in the farmhouse were envious. They only thought that Gu Chen was Lin Xiyao's lover. Of course, Lin Xiyao kept her anonymity here. The people here only thought that she came here to raise a baby, and they didn't know anything else.They only treated her as a guest who came here to play.

Gu Chen is very considerate of her, sometimes Lin Xiyao will feel a little moved in her heart, she has thought a lot, the child cannot live without a father, but if it is just to find a father for the child, is it fair to Gu Chen?Therefore, she has never accepted Gu Chen's strong love...

At this moment, seeing her sneezing, Gu Chen immediately asked with concern: "Xiyao, what's wrong? Do you have a cold?"

Lin Xiyao smiled at him: "No. I was wondering if someone was speaking ill of me."

Seeing her smile, Gu Chen's heart froze again, he couldn't help reaching out to grab Lin Xiyao's hand, and asked gently: "Xiyao, when will you accept me?"

Lin Xiyao had to stop what she was doing, she was doing cross stitch, just to pass the time.

When she left City A, she set foot on Zhisheng with a dead heart. After being rescued by Xia Haoxuan, she found that she still had a bank card in her handbag, and the money in the bank card could not be spent in ten years.She didn't know that the money in this card was when she and Ye Lanfeng were in love like ordinary lovers, Ye Lanfeng sent her in from time to time, but Ye Lanfeng didn't tell her.Just tell her to buy whatever she wants, without saving him money.

Unexpectedly, this money could solve her worries!

Looking at the money at the beginning, she only regarded it as Ye Lanfeng's child support fee, so she had to spend it as a matter of course...

Looking at Gu Chen's expectant eyes, Lin Xiyao said seriously: "Gu Chen, I'm older than you, can your family accept sibling love? I'm pregnant now, don't your family mind?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen's eyes dimmed again. Don't think about it, the Gu family will never agree.

"No, Xi Yao, give me time! I will definitely convince them! My marriage is up to me!" Gu Chen suddenly raised his head and said firmly.

Lin Xiyao lowered her head and smiled, continuing to embroider cross-stitch.

******
Another month passed quickly.

In the past month, Ye Lanfeng has been busy with work every day, almost leaving early and returning late.

Only when he becomes busy can he temporarily forget about Lin Xiyao.

But at night, boundless emptiness and pain will always attack him. Yang Xiaoqing often hints to him that she wants to spend the long night with him, but he refuses every time.Even though they lived under the same roof, Ye Lanfeng never touched her, not even a hug.

Back then when the old lady Ye said that she would arrange a blind date for him, he felt upset. In order to avoid such annoyance, he told the old lady that he would settle on Yang Xiaoqing.

But when he saw Yang Xiaoqing working hard every day to become the standard daughter-in-law of the Ye family, he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't love her anymore, how could he marry her?But Xi Yao is no longer here, how can he hurt the two old people?He knew clearly in his heart that he was the only descendant of the Ye family, and he had to continue the incense for the Ye family, otherwise he would be sorry to his ancestors. He knew that he had to end this marriage.

No one knows that his life is very tiring and difficult, his parents passed away early, his grandparents worked hard to raise him, he can't live in pain without Lin Xiyao, even if it's not for himself, He must also live a good life for his grandparents. Like everyone else, he must find a woman who is pleasing to the eye to marry, have children, and complete the major events in life in the eyes of the elderly.

Ye Lanfeng was taken aback when the second elder of the Ye family discussed his marriage with Yang Xiaoqing with him.

"Grandpa, grandma, will it be too soon?"

"Is it too soon? One month later, Yang Xiaoqing barely reached the standard. You are already 30 years old. How long do you want to delay?" The old lady Ye was not happy.

Ye Lanfeng said: "I'm not ready yet."

The old master Ye reprimanded: "Afeng, a man, dare to be brave. You proposed to Yang Xiaoqing last year. Why did you get up like a woman when it came to a critical moment?"

Old lady Ye: "Are you still thinking about Xiyao? Afeng, Xiyao has already left, you have to accept this fact."

As soon as Lin Xiyao was mentioned, Ye Lanfeng immediately showed a painful expression on his face. He raised his head and said solemnly: "Grandpa and grandma, when you wanted me to marry Xiyao, Xiyao said that she would not come out in time because Xiyao chose to end her life because of me. Only three years have passed, and I can't wait to marry another woman. If she knows it underground, she must be very sad. I killed her, So I will guard her for three years. During these three years, I will not marry anyone. After three years, my marriage will be decided by my grandparents. Grandpa and grandma, I hope you don’t force me. If you want me to marry any woman now, I will Can't do it, really can't do it. Grandpa and grandma, I'm sorry!"

After Ye Lanfeng finished speaking, she stood up from her chair, kowtowed heavily to the two elders of the Ye family, then stood up, and walked out of the Ye family's gate without looking back.

The moment he turned around, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, and hit the cold ground with a "pop".

Seeing his determination, the two elders of the Ye family were very helpless.

The old lady Ye had to accept the fact, she said: "Old man, we really shouldn't force him. Just let him go. He has too much affection for Xi Yao, so naturally he can't accept others. I think it's better to forget it, three Let’s talk about it after a year. We’re only in our sixties, we’re still young, and we’re afraid we won’t be able to wait until that day arrives?”

Old Master Ye nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

After all, he sighed heavily.

It was already late when Ye Lanfeng returned to the villa, and Yang Xiaoqing was still waiting for him in the living room.

"Xiaoqing, it's late, you should go to bed early." Ye Lanfeng walked directly to the stairs on the second floor.

Yang Xiaoqing looked at his tall and lonely back, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

A month ago, when the old lady Ye found her, she thought it was a sure thing that she would marry Ye Lanfeng, but who knew, Ye Lanfeng had always treated her indifferently for a month, which made her A little disheartened.

In fact, Ye Lanfeng didn't make any promises to her, he never said that he would marry her, but she was overly excited after hearing what old lady Ye said.Whether to marry her or not is entirely up to Ye Lanfeng and has nothing to do with that old lady.That old lady was just crazy about her great-grandson.

After thinking about this point, Yang Xiaoqing could only smile wryly.

She was just about to go back to the bedroom, but Ye Lanfeng came down from upstairs. He went straight to her and sat down.

"Afeng..." Yang Xiaoqing called out.

Ye Lanfeng looked solemn, he didn't look at Yang Xiaoqing, but stared at the TV screen.

"Xiaoqing, I just found out today that grandma came to you. I don't know what she told you specifically. If she said something that made you sad, I apologize to you on behalf of grandma. I'm sorry. Xiaoqing, grandpa and grandma and I I said, I won’t get married in these three years. I’m sorry, I not only hurt Xi Yao, but also you. I was too selfish and never thought about you. I didn’t realize it until I lost it. I know You are suffering, but you have the right to choose happiness instead of wasting your beautiful years by my side. Xiaoqing, do you understand what I mean?" Ye Lanfeng said slowly, her tone heavy and stinging.

Every word of his was like a sharp knife, piercing Yang Xiaoqing's heart.

She said with tears: "Afeng, are you driving me away? I won't go. I know you can't forget Xi Yao anymore. But I don't care, I'm willing to wait for you. Three years, five years, ten years I don't even care. Just please don't drive me away!"

She broke down in tears by the end.

"Afeng, I know you hate women's tears. But I really can't control myself. I'm sorry. In the future, I will pay attention and never shed a tear in front of your eyes again."

"Xiaoqing, if you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to leave one day, you must tell me, you can't leave quietly, you understand?"

Yang Xiaoqing burst into laughter immediately, he agreed with her to stay, which meant that she could still see him often, what else could she ask for?
"I know!" She got excited and rushed forward to hug Ye Lanfeng's neck.

Ye Lanfeng's body was a little cold, and he let her hold her without moving.

After a long time, he said softly, "It's late, go back to sleep."

Yang Xiaoqing nodded and let go of her hand.

Watching him disappear at the top of the stairs, I felt a sense of loss in my heart.She really wanted to be like Lin Xiyao, lying in his arms and falling asleep peacefully every day.

However, that is impossible.

Afeng couldn't let Lin Xiyao go in his heart.

If she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms again, she might arouse A Feng's disgust.He said that he won't get married within three years, it doesn't matter, she is willing to wait for him!She knew in her heart that he felt too guilty towards Lin Xiyao, and he owed her too much.If she gets married now, even if it's her, she shouldn't feel at ease, right?
After thinking about this point, Yang Xiaoqing was in a good mood.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Ye Lanfeng said, "Xiaoqing, I'm going on a long trip, and I'll be back tomorrow."

Yang Xiaoqing raised her face and asked curiously, "Oh, are you going on a business trip?"

Ye Lanfeng shook her head: "I want to go out for a walk."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoqing's eyes sparkled, and she stretched out her hands excitedly to hold Ye Lanfeng's hand tightly, and begged expectantly: "Afeng, take me there, okay? It's been almost a year since you returned to China, and you never Never took me out to play."

Her words were full of grievances.

Ye Lanfeng: "Xiaoqing, this time I want to go out for a walk alone, quietly and quietly."

Yang Xiaoqing's sparkling eyes suddenly dimmed, and the man in front of her didn't lead her around like before.

It was her fault, she shouldn't have gone abroad to experience the so-called life in order to pursue the so-called literary dream!She has experienced life, but lost the one she loves!
Who is to blame?
Does regret work?
She sniffed, and the tears were forced back by her. She said that she could no longer shed tears in front of him.

Ye Lanfeng left the villa with Yang Xiaoqing's aggrieved expression on her face.

He didn't go anywhere, but went to City C, which is [-] kilometers away from City A.

He traveled all over the places where he took Lin Xiyao, and stayed in the hotel. However, the memory is there, but the past person is no longer there!

He took the tram to Xishan, got off halfway, and followed the original route to the farmhouse where he used to live, but was told that the guests were full.

Ye Lanfeng had to go to another farmhouse far away from this one.

At about five o'clock in the morning the next day, he took a quilt from the farmhouse and went out. He still climbed two mountains to the top of the highest mountain along the road he had walked with Lin Xiyao. What he didn't expect was that this time, he Actually saw the sunrise.

Looking at the incomparably beautiful red sun, Ye Lanfeng felt a pang in her heart, Xi Yao, you who are far away in heaven, can you see this gorgeous sun?Sorry, I was wrong!

He killed his own son with his own hands, and drove her to a dead end. If it wasn't for his selfishness, if he could see his own heart clearly as soon as possible, no tragedy would have happened...

For the rest of his life, he will be accompanied by endless guilt, remorse and pain...

He just sat on the cold stone, motionless, looking into the distance with a sad expression.

When the sun completely popped out from the clouds and the myriad rays of light illuminated everything in the universe, Ye Lanfeng stood up from the stone and walked down the mountain slowly along the road that Lin Xiyao had walked.

He carried the quilt back to the farmhouse, checked out the room, and walked towards the direction where the sightseeing bus was parked.

Sitting on the sightseeing car, he looked deeply at the flowers, plants and trees moving backwards, full of thoughts.

The sightseeing car suddenly slammed on the brakes and almost threw him out of the car.

The driver said apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, there is a pregnant woman."

Ye Lanfeng didn't move, as if he didn't hear the driver's words, his eyes stayed in the distance.

In the middle of the road, a pregnant woman with a big belly holding an umbrella squatted on the ground to pick up something.When he saw the sightseeing car, he immediately smiled apologetically at the driver, stepped back to the side of the road, and looked down at the bag in his hand.

The driver then started the car and drove forward.

This pregnant woman is Lin Xiyao.

After the car left, she checked that there was no traffic on the left or right, and then went to the middle of the road again, squatted down, and picked up the one rose coin that fell just now...
