The simple and unsophisticated room, with nobility and strong colors complementing each other, makes people feel that the owner of the room is so strong and domineering. But all this is just the past, because the room is filled with the faint smell of disinfectant and

The frail figure lying on the bed clearly declares that all strength and domineering have been eliminated in the torrent of time. At this moment, in this room with strong aristocratic tones, there is only a twilight old man!

Li Ruoxi stood quietly beside Xiao Zuoping's bed, staring at the old man she should call her father, and the sorrow in her heart poured out like a waterfall. Although before entering this room, Butler Liu had reminded her that her father had been injured for many years.

She was haggard due to illness, but when she saw this wrinkled and decadent face with her own eyes, although she tried her best to suppress the turbulent emotions, she still couldn't stop the tide in her eyes - she finally understood why her uncle did this

He suddenly appeared in front of her and revealed the sad past to her! Because the person who caused everything is already late, and the light of life is about to be extinguished at the end of time. If the entanglements are not resolved, then all the emotions will become

An eternal regret!

"If there are regrets, happiness will not be complete, right?"

Li Ruoxi unknowingly murmured the question in her mind. Although her voice was soft, it still startled the old man in his sleep. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and those sharp and clear eyes immediately made his face...

His haggardness and morbidity have weakened by three points, and people can't help but think of how resolute and resolute this old man was in his prime, and how many people were shocked by his sharp eyes! But when his sight came into contact with the station

When Li Ruoxi was beside the bed, her clear eyes were filled with mist, and her slightly intrusive lips opened slightly, whispering like a dream language: "Qianxu..."

Hearing such a soft call, Li Ruoxi was in a daze for a moment, not knowing how to react. The atmosphere in the room became silent for a moment. But soon the fog in Xiao Zuoping's eyes dissipated, and the clarity in his eyes suddenly returned, but

It was no longer sharp but had a warm color. Looking directly at Li Ruoxi, the old voice sounded hoarse but clearly: "You are my daughter."

She didn't mean to ask, but was extremely affirmative. Li Ruoxi was startled again, but still nodded instinctively. But other than nodding, she didn't know how to react!

"Did Butler Liu bring you here?" The hoarse voice sounded again, but this time Li Ruoxi just nodded lightly.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, Xiao Zuoping stretched out a wrinkled hand from the quilt and pointed to the chair beside the bed, "Sit down. Your eyes are so red. You must have cried. Butler Liu should

I told you all about the past. Do you hate me?"

Except for the last sentence, everything Xiao Zuoping said was affirmative! Listening blankly, Li Ruoxi was still silent. It should be said that she didn't know what to say except silence. She didn't want happiness to leave regrets, so she wanted to see

Seeing this father whom she has never met before, she wants to meet this grandfather who has loved Fan for more than ten years. Because no matter from every angle, this old man is a family member! She said that she does not blame anyone, but in front of this old man

When he asked her so directly if she hated him, her throat seemed to have swallowed a ball of fire, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't make any sound...

Do you hate it? This old man ruined his father's love because of business interests, trapped his mother with kindness, and let the chaotic emotions torture his mother, his son and his own heart; in order to have an heir with a blood relationship with him, he used

He took Fan and herself, and finally abandoned them after getting his purpose. All his actions can burn into strong hatred. Even if she can forgive him for being cruel to herself, she can forgive him for the cruelty he has caused to Fan.

Does it hurt?

Don't you hate it? This old man who has been abandoned by time and tortured by illness makes people feel so sad that they have forgotten all his evildoings! Moreover, when he just opened his eyes, he whispered like a dream voice, which made her deeply moved.

I feel that he loves his mother. Love makes people selfish and crazy, so when betrayal comes, it will make people crazy. It is this madness that meets the grief of losing a loved one that makes him not hesitate to do more hurtful things.

Behavior. Such a lonely old man makes people unable to bear to hate him!

Seeing that Li Ruoxi was still silent, Xiao Zuoping's clear eyes dimmed, and his hoarse voice was full of fatigue: "You hate me, right? It's true that I trapped a lover who didn't care about me and manipulated my son.

Because of my feelings, I treated my grandson whom I had loved for many years indifferently, and abandoned my biological daughter. Especially when I treated you and Fan like this... It is true that at that time, I longed for an heir with my own blood, but I didn't have to use such an extreme method.

And relatively speaking, for Yongfan who had limited mobility at the time, and for you who was not yet physically mature, it might have been easier to adopt artificial insemination. But at that time, I wanted to take revenge, take revenge for your mother’s betrayal, and take revenge on my daughter-in-law.

Hongxing cheated on me, so I took out my grievances on you and Fan... For a hateful person like me, trying to make people not hate me and asking for forgiveness is just a fantasy! You came to see me because you want to know that I am such a hateful person.

What a tragic end must have happened to the hateful old man..."

"No!" Li Ruoxi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, interrupting the old man's sad words, "No one is hateful, father..."

"What did you call me?" Is it an auditory hallucination? She called him father? Xiao Zuoping's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he could hear it from this daughter who knew all his sins and was deeply hurt by him.

Such a call!

"Father." Li Ruoxi repeated clearly, and took the initiative to hold Xiao Zuoping's wrinkled hand, smiling softly, "Father, I know you love your mother, but it's just in the wrong way. I also know that you really love Fan, but it's just suddenly.

The great changes have made you blinded by hatred. And I think you should also accept me as your daughter, but you don’t know how to face me..."

When the last word was said, Li Ruoxi's tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Xiao Zuoping was also in tears!

After the emotional tears, Xiao Zuoping first regained his composure. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the wet tears on his daughter's face. His hoarse voice was full of hope, "Call me father again."

"Father...Dear, Father." There were still sobs in his voice, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was heart-warming.

"Okay... okay..." Xiao Zuoping said yes repeatedly, his smile lighting up his wrinkled face, and then he looked directly into Li Ruoxi's eyes and said seriously and firmly, "From this second on, don't scream anymore.

My father."

"Ah?" Li Ruoxi's smile froze after hearing these words. She looked at her father who had just recognized him in shock, but the expression on his face was extremely serious! Before he could ask, there was a rush outside the door.

The sound of footsteps——

"Master..."

The impatient footsteps stopped outside the door, and a low voice of dissuasion disappeared in the loud noise caused by the door being pushed open before it could be heard.

Li Ruoxi trembled slightly because of the sudden sound. When her eyes came into contact with the person standing at the door of the room, she was shocked. She didn't have time to let out a cry of surprise before it was drowned by his cold expression. What was in front of her was

The person is so familiar, but now the expression on his face is so unfamiliar - heart-stoppingly unfamiliar!

Xiao Yongfan opened the door and saw Li Ruoxi sitting unscathed by the bed. Her heart pinched by worry finally relaxed, and she suddenly realized that her indifferent expression amid anxiety and anger scared her.

His brows quickly relaxed, and his handsome face covered by frost immediately raised a soft smile, slowly walked to the bedside, and gently hugged the dazed and frail person into his arms, holding his warm hands

Stroking her long hair, he lowered his head and murmured in her ear: "Xi, did I scare you? Don't be afraid, I... was too worried about you. As soon as I knew you were here... I was very worried, worried that you would

Being hurt...even more worried about losing you..."

In the past few days, due to work reasons, he had to go to New York to deal with some things. He finally managed to get the work done in the shortest possible time. He flew back overnight and immediately ran to find the lover he had missed for many days to comfort him.

However, when he arrived at Xi's home, Uncle Lu told him that Xi left with a man he said he had known ten years ago. The sensitive word "ten years" immediately made him think that she might have been brought here.

, my heart was also anxious at that moment, and I rushed here immediately, just to show up before she was hurt or insulted, to protect her in my arms, and to prevent her from being hurt again! And accompanied by worry,

There was also boiling anger, anger towards the man he should call grandpa! Ten years ago, he treated him and Xi in this way in order to get an heir. What tricks would he want to play ten years later? When he thought about it,

Unfortunately, he might encounter misfortune, and all his reason would be reduced to ashes. He would let his most primitive emotions dominate his thoughts, not caring whether his expression in anger could burn everything like Shura from Hell. He only knew that he was extremely afraid.

The following brought out the fear of losing the treasure that he finally owned. All he knew was that he was extremely worried that the lover he regarded as more important than his own life would be hurt. All he knew was that he wanted to hold her in his arms and melt her.

Enter the bone marrow and let her smile safely under the wings he spread out for her!

"Fan, I..." Li Ruoxi, who was held tightly in Xiao Yongfan's arms, gradually recovered from the shock of the indifferent expression at first sight because of the familiar tenderness emanating from him. At the same time, she also felt that her lover

The subtle trembling on her body made her understand that his coldness was all due to his concern and concern for her. She was about to say to him not to worry, but he interrupted her before she could say anything.

"Don't say anything, I'll take you out of here now!" As he said this, Xiao Yongfan hugged Li Ruoxi and walked towards the door.

"Fan, wait a minute." Li Ruoxi, who was being carried out, took Xiao Yongfan's arm and raised her voice and said, "I want to come here myself. I want to meet..." She originally wanted to come to see her father, but she thought

Xiao Zuoping still hesitated about what he said before Xiao Yongfan came in.

"There's nothing to see, let's go."

Xiao Yongfan, who wanted to take her away from here, didn't notice the hesitation in her words, and kept holding her in the direction of the door. Just when they were about to step out of the door, the old man lying on the bed spoke.

——

"Yongfan, she is a good girl. I am very happy to have such a granddaughter-in-law. Please cherish her."

"Humph, I don't care whether you are happy or not. As long as you don't play any tricks, everything will be perfect." Xiao Yongfan said this and was about to take Li Ruoxi out of the room, but suddenly found that the person in his arms had already

He stood there with tears streaming down his face!

"Xi, what's wrong? What's wrong with you? Are you wronged?" Carefully holding the tearful little face, Xiao Yongfan's eyes were full of worry.

"I..." just uttered a single sound, and the next words disappeared in the choked sound. Li Ruoxi could only hold Xiao Yongfan's front tightly to calm down his excitement, and his deep pupils flashed with complex emotions...

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yongfan's heart was high again. He hugged her tightly and stroked her back again, letting her tears stain his clothes, but his eyes were staring coldly.

The old man on the bed: "Why did you ask her to come to see you? What did you say to her? What did you do to her?"

"Master!" Butler Liu, who had been standing outside the door, heard Xiao Yongfan's cold question and couldn't help but explain hastily, "I took the initiative to bring the young lady to see the master. The master didn't know at all at first... and the master doesn't know how to do it.

I will never do anything to harm the lady."

"Steward Liu, you don't need to protect him anymore! If he wouldn't do something that hurt others, then what happened ten years ago wouldn't have happened!" Xiao Yongfan said coldly, the chill in his eyes getting heavier, and

Hidden in the coldness is a hint of loss that is difficult to detect...

"Master..."

Butler Liu was about to say something, but was interrupted by an old and hoarse voice——

"Indeed, people like me will only do things that hurt others. I also know that you must hate me..."

"No, you can't..." The old man was only halfway through his words when Li Ruoxi, who was sobbing in Xiao Yongfan's arms, suddenly raised her head and said in a voice hoarse from crying, "Fan, you can't hate... Grandpa!

"

Her voice was very low, but all three people present heard it. Three pairs of eyes were locked on her body, and time passed in silence...

The sound of "grandpa" shocked the three people——

For Xiao Yongfan, this is a long-lost call, the most affectionate call ever, but all the intimacy was covered up by strong hatred ten years ago! If what happened back then had not happened, Xi's call would be so appropriate, she

She is the only wife she recognizes, and her shouting is equivalent to recognizing that he is her husband!

As for Butler Liu, he understands the true identities of the young lady and the young master, and hopes to keep their identities buried as secrets forever. But now that the young lady knows the truth, the young master will definitely know the fact that he is not from the Xiao family, and he will also know that he is not from the Xiao family.

He will definitely know the ridiculous things his mother has done, and what kind of harm will this bring? And this statement of the young lady is equivalent to letting the secret remain a secret forever, so that the young master will never face embarrassment, and it is also equivalent to always keeping the secret.

His true identity is buried!

Xiao Zuoping felt complicated when he heard such a title! His daughter is so smart, and she was surprised and inexplicable when she first heard him ask her not to call him father. But just when Yongfan was about to take her away,

When he specifically said the word granddaughter-in-law because he was worried that she would tell Yongfan the truth, she completely understood what he was thinking! And because she understood that he wanted her to keep their relationship as a secret forever, everything happened at that moment

Fall into Yongfan's arms and cry! So are her tears because of her grievance or because she learned that he didn't want to hurt Yongfan again? Ten years ago, he had blinded his heart with hatred and deeply hurt that self.

He truly loves his grandson, but all he can do to make up for the damage is keeping his life experience a secret and letting him disappear in time. Therefore, he can only wrong his daughter. He has just been forgiven by her, but he cruelly refuses to let him go.

My daughter recognizes me, how hateful I am!
