Chapter 288 – Reasons for non-marriage
Mu Shi Ye was startled, he looked at Pei An Xin with his black eyes: "You don't want to marry me?"
"I don't want to!" Pei An Xin's answer instantly made Mu Shi Ye feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"Why?" Mu Shi Ye had been carrying an optimistic mindset for the past few days. He and this woman would definitely have a rekindling of their relationship, they would even have an adorable daughter. Pei An Xin had no reason to reject being together with him anymore.
But, at that moment, Pei An Xin's words had hit him hard.
"I don't want to hear others say that I was daydreaming, dreaming of being a rich family's young mistress." Pei An Xin ridiculed himself.
When Mu Shi Ye heard her words, his entire body trembled for a moment. He anxiously reached out with his hand, wanting to grab onto Pei An Xin's small hand.
"An Xin, I don't understand why you've suddenly become so cold in the past few years. Can you tell me why now?" Mu Shi Ye heard the sound of her heart breaking. Her self-deprecating words just now seemed to have let him know everything about the cause and effect.
"My mother?" Mu Shi Ye froze.
Pei An Xin knew that Mu Shi Ye was hidden somewhere in the middle, and he did not know about the pain he had endured three years ago either.
At this very moment, Pei An Xin's heart was still very complicated. She couldn't ignore the deep feelings he had for this man, and he couldn't ignore the reality of the problem they were facing.
He had always thought that the reason Pei An Xin ignored him and calmly brought up the topic of breaking up with him was because he had too many rumours about his girlfriend.
But that was not it. It was because his mother had interfered.
But he didn't know anything, and his mother never mentioned it to him.
"Three years ago, your mother suddenly found me and told me very straightforwardly that I'm not worthy of you. She also said that I took the initiative to pester you, that I'm still young and don't care about face, Mu Shi Ye, what she said is not wrong, that in high school, I took the initiative to confess to you. Even though you weren't warm nor cold to me, I acted like a fool, thinking that there would be an outcome.
"Mu Shi Ye, giving birth to Cheng Cheng was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life, but the one I am apologizing to wasn't you, but my daughter, I shouldn't have let her come to this world because I don't have the ability to give her a complete family. But now, I want to mend the mistakes I have made, I want to give her all the love I have, I want to have the foundation that can give her a better material life. Pei An Xin was smiling in her tears, but it was a very bitter laugh.
"An Xin, don't force yourself. Cheng Cheng is also my daughter, and I will give her the best life, so you don't have to work so hard." When Mu Shi Ye heard her words, he only felt his heart tighten inch by inch.
"In the past, I really don't want to let you meet with Cheng Cheng anymore, but now, I have changed my mind. You are her father, and this fact cannot be changed, but I did not ask you to bring her up with me for sure, because you do not have this duty, nor would I insist on it. Take it as me being selfish, I still hope that Cheng Cheng would be able to interact with her father, but don't worry, when you get married and Cheng Cheng grows up a little, I will tell her … The reason why you can't stay by her side forever … "
As he spoke till this point, the tears that Pei An Xin had struggled to hold, still flowed down.
"An Xin, don't say anymore, if I get married, then the one who will marry will definitely be you, I was too much of a bastard in the past, and too conceited, but now, I have already changed, and I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me taking the initiative, because I'm a man, so I should take the initiative to love my own woman. In the past, I've wronged you, but in the future, I'll always compensate you more, because Cheng Cheng is my only daughter, I hope that I'll have the chance to stay by her side and grow up together with her …"
"An Xin, where are you going?" Mu Shi Ye suddenly stood up, blocking her way.
"It's so late, why are you bringing her back home alone? Have you considered safety? " Mu Shi Ye was simply about to collapse.
Pei An Xin was actually also full of rage, and spoke out of anger.
"Then I'll take her to find a hotel first. I'll go back tomorrow morning and thank you for your help these few days." Pei An Xin's eyes were still filled with tears, her pitiful and pitiful appearance, made Mu Shi Ye's heart ache.
As Pei An Xin listened to his gentle tone, it instantly felt as though he had returned to the instant when they loved each other three years ago.
"Alright, then let's eat and go back!" Although Pei An Xin's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness, she had also learned how to remain calm.
Mu Shi Ye's tensed heart finally relaxed as he reached out to take his daughter, who was so scared that her small mouth was about to cry.
Ji Xiao Han and his family sat in the hotel's dining hall and enjoyed their dinner.
A month ago, when he was eating alone, he had always been on alert for anything wrong with his food.
However, at this moment, he felt that even if he were to drink plain water, as long as he was surrounded by these two cute little things and the gentle smile of the woman in front of him, it would be extremely tasty.
Ji Xiao Han looked at his daughter's hand, those fireworks seemed to bloom in his heart, illuminating his entire life.
