From that tone, one didn’t have to guess to know that Song Qingchen had filed her complaints again .
Sheng Yize rubbed An Xiaxia’s head and whispered, “I need to get this . ”
“Oh…” An Xiaxia lay down on the sofa like a lamb and stayed very still, patting her plump stomach .
Sheng Yize went out to the balcony . The night breeze brushed gently against his face as he said calmly, “Uncle Song, nothing happened between me and Song Qingchen to begin with . I can’t let down another person because of a misunderstanding . ”
In the past few days, he had sent the evidence not only to An Yibei, but to Sheng Qingyi and Song Huan as well .
Naturally, Sheng Qingyi was enraged, but only because Sheng Yize had exposed Song Qingchen, ruining any chance of a marriage between the two families .
Song Huan hadn’t contacted him; this was his first phone call since then .
On the other end, Song Huan looked exhausted . He had put in too much effort for this young daughter of his .
Because of her unusual status, he had always doted on her . However, that had only turned Song Qingchen into this haughty person and encouraged her to do all these preposterous deeds .
His disappointment toward Sheng Yize was actually directed at himself — for his failure as a parent .
” Sigh … Doomed love, that’s what this is . ” Mr . Song heaved a heavy sigh . “I heard… that girl went there to find you?”
Sheng Yize replied with a “hm . ” Mr . Song rubbed his temples and said, “In that case, I wish you two all happiness . I’ll talk to Songsong, and I hope you’ll get along well with her . ”
“Thank you, Uncle . ” Sheng Yize was surprised at how amiable Mr . Song was .
Song Huan hung up shortly afterwards .
He activated the mechanism by his bed, revealing that exquisite oil painting .
The woman in it was so unbelievably good-looking that she almost looked otherworldly .
Song Huan’s lips quivered and he began to weep into his hands . “Xiaxia… I’m sorry…”
He had failed as a parent . Not only did he owe Song Qingchen, he owed Xiaxia more than he could atone for .
The following day, An Xiaxia was dragged out of bed, still half-asleep . She grumbled, “I want to sleep…”
“Oh, then I’ll go eat all the yummy food on my own . ” It only took an indifferent remark from a certain scheming guy for An Xiaxia’s face to light up . She happily ran to wash up and toadied up to Sheng Yize as she brushed her teeth . “Sheng Yize, you’re so handsome today! You’re more handsome every day!”
Sheng Yize pursed his lips — the lengths this little glutton would go to for food .
The two went out for breakfast holding hands, meeting no one but strangers on the way . Sheng Yize was also an ordinary person here and he no longer needed his disguise . For the first time, An Xiaxia felt like she was in an honest relationship .
They strolled around unhurriedly the whole morning . The couple then walked into a shopping mall and Sheng Yize was defeated after two stores .
Seeing how excited An Xiaxia was, he hid his torment inside .
An Xiaxia saw through him right away . “Guys really don’t like shopping…”
Sheng Yize didn’t give her a straight answer . Instead, he picked a dress and handed it to An Xiaxia . “Go try it on . ”
An Xiaxia ran happily into the changing room and came out holding the dress off the floor . She asked excitedly, “How do I look?”
“Great! We’ll take it . ” Sheng Yize swiped his card and bought it right away .
It was the same procedure in the next store .
After a few stores, An Xiaxia felt guilty about all the bags of clothes in her hands . She poked Sheng Yize’s arm and said, “Let’s go get some lunch . ”
Sheng Yize smiled . “Sure . ”
All the words one needed to make their girlfriend happy: that’s pretty, of course, we’ll take it, and you’re right .
They worked wonders on little dummies like An Xiaxia .
Sheng Yize’s mind only wandered for one second, but when he looked around, An Xiaxia was no longer beside him .
Sheng Yize panicked . “An Xiaxia?! Xiaxia!”
