I'm sorry, Carl, for leaving without saying goodbye in the first place. You must have hated me so much. Leaving you and Yoyo behind. It's been so many years. Please say to me to Yoyo. I will always love him. Please ask him to forgive me for being an irresponsible father. Forgive the father who saw him and thought of Hong Yip and chose to abandon him.
Maybe it was Xiao Nian's liveliness and strength that touched me. Now, I am happy, my life is not so sad with her company. Have I ever mentioned Xiao Nian to you. I had forgotten that I adopted Xiao Nian from an orphanage when she was 3. She was a poor child, abandoned by her own family and suffering from congenital asthma herself, and spent several years in hospital before she passed the dangerous stage.
Lately, I don't know what's going on, Carl. I've always had the illusion that Hong Yip is getting closer and closer to me, so close that I feel like I'm right in front of her and can reach out and grab her.
I think it might be.
It's just that, right now, it's Nin who is most unsettling to me. I am afraid that she will lose her family again. Although, how much I do not want this to happen. Yang Yang was already the most heartbreaking time for me, and I don't want Xiao Nian to be abandoned by me again, just like Yang Yang.
Really, Carl, I mean if that day ever comes, I want you to help me, to help me take care of Xiao Nian as you helped me take care of Yang Yang back then, to love and care for her as much as you loved Yang Yang. Let Xiao Nian know that here, there is still his family, the family that loves her.
And only you, so that I know there is someone else to trust. May you always be happy! My friend!
If there is an afterlife, I hope to become a confidant with you again.
Duanziqi on May 28th, 2am
Xia Bingyang felt unconscious and thoughtless. For Duan Ziqi, this letter, perhaps his last message, would really disappear completely afterwards, leaving behind a message of trust, love, and his own most sincere wishes.
"Bing Yang, I know, it's a bit too hard to tell you this now, but I really hope, you can be understanding of your Uncle Duan." Karl looked as if he was speaking with a heavy heart.
"Dad, let's not talk about it today, let's eat first," said Ling Siao suddenly, looking at such a dull atmosphere.
"Uncle, I don't feel embarrassed, and I don't feel that Uncle Duan has anything that I need to be considerate of, I know that he must be very happy now, because, he can be with the person he loves the most." Xia Bingyang was calm, and there was only contentment in her tone.
"Bing Yang, your Uncle Duan will be more than happy to hear you," Carl smiled gratefully, and then, added. "I hope that you will love Nin as if he were your own family; it may, at first, be a little uncomfortable,"
"Uncle, I'm not a child, I can take care of myself, I don't need you guys to protect me so much." Lin Xiaonian, who was at the side, suddenly said, obviously, she was not used to people coddling her so much.
"Really, even washing a bowl and still hurting your hands, how do you expect us to trust you to take care of yourself." Ling Siao teased, making fun of Lin Xiaonian.
"Brother Ling Sone, didn't I say so? That time was really careless, I will definitely not hurt my hand in the future," Xiao Nian tried to explain for himself in order to emphasize his competence.
"Okay, okay, I know you can do it, don't get so excited, your spit is spewing out," Spirit Sulphone gazed idly at Xiao Nian.
"Oh, well, it's time to eat, Bing Yang, leave them alone and let's eat."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xia Bingyang's eyes suddenly turned soft. A smile couldn't help but creep up to the corners of her mouth.
The first night back home, Xia Bingxian felt the joyful atmosphere brought by the family, the sound of Carl's laughter, spread throughout the room, the deliberate teasing and difficulties of Ling Siao, making Xiao Nian feel angry and helpless, Xia Bingxian smiled and sat aside, looking at Xiao Nian pouting, cute, mood, with their own laughter, became happy.
The next day, Xia Bingyang was already fully engaged in his work, holding company meetings and discussing new development projects. The staff in the company have also become extremely cautious, facing Xia Bingyang's strict attitude, and their work has become serious and nervous.
After finishing the paperwork, she realised that she had not seen her family for a long time. Gathering the papers on the table, Xia Bingyang took out her mobile phone and dialed the number.
。。。。。。
"Uncle, today, is Brother Bing Yang really coming home for dinner?" Moisture's cheeks rose red.
"How many times have you asked, Nin? Know what?" On the side, Spirit Sulphone was impatient.
"I just wanted to make sure, I didn't ask you," Nin pouted. Pretending to be angry.
"Okay, stop it, later on, if Bing Yang sees it, he should laugh at you guys again,"
" That's right, uncle, brother Ling Siao doesn't know how to be considerate at all, I'm not going to be like him, you're still the best, cooking so many delicious things for us, I'll come over and help you." said, and made a mischievous face at Ling Sulong, and ran towards the kitchen.
"Brother Bing Yang, you're back,"
Xia Bingyang had just pushed open the door when Xiao Nian happily ran towards him and thoughtfully put the briefcase away for him. Although Xia Bingyang felt a little uncomfortable, he liked this feeling, especially when he saw Xiao Nian's pouting face when he was serious.
"Bing Yang, back, work went well, right?"
