“I’ve always had simple requirements for my daughter-in-law,” Summer Father looked at his son seriously, “as long as she’s pure and doesn’t have the materialistic thoughts of modern women, the doors of the Summer family will always be open.” A woman who could tolerate his unfaithfulness for eight years, her sincerity and persistence must be beyond doubt. This point alone should be enough. “Thank you, Dad.”
Whispers of “The CEO Wants to Play a Game” Epilogue
“Sister, I already called Mom yesterday, and she doesn’t blame you. She’ll stand on our side; as for Dad…” Xinmei sighed, “Mom doesn’t dare to mention it, we have to say it ourselves.”
“Well, it’s okay. We’ll have to face it sooner or later.” Sticking out one’s neck is a knife, drawing it back is also a knife. Better to get it over with quickly.
“I’m telling you, Brother Gao, we appreciate your help, but you need to be mentally prepared!” Xinmei kindly warned him.
“Prepared for what?” Gao Yizhe raised an eyebrow.
“Our father has a bad temper. I’m worried that when he hears about it, he’ll immediately rush over and throw a flying punch at you…”
“I know how to dodge,” he smiled.
Because of the unexpected pregnancy and the fact that the other party isn’t taking responsibility, it would be a huge blow to their conservative father. So they decided to ask Gao Yizhe to play the role of a fake father, and later break up citing personality differences, hoping this might make Mr. Qi feel better.
“We’re home.” Standing at the front door, Xinluo took a light breath, suddenly feeling a strange sense of nervousness approaching home.
“Dad!”
“We’re back.” Understanding her sister’s difficulty, Xinmei walked in first, “Dad?”
“I’m here, no need to call,” the authoritative Qi father stood at the entrance, wiping his waist while looking at his eldest daughter who was already pregnant.
“Dad… I’m back.” Eventually, she still had to face it: Xinluo called out softly.
“…” Qi’s father raised his eyebrows slightly, saying nothing.
“Uncle Qi,” Gao Yizhe greeted quickly.
True to his professorial status, he had an imposing presence without anger, like facing a professor back in university days.
“Who is he?” Qi’s father asked, looking at Xinluo.
“He is the child’s father,” Xinluo answered.
“The child’s father?” In an instant, Qi’s father’s expression turned ugly.
“Yes.”
“He is the child’s father, so who is sitting inside?” Qi’s father’s forehead showed veins.
It was too chaotic, truly too chaotic.
“Sitting inside?” Xinluo was stunned, was there someone else in the room?
“Go and see for yourself!” Holding back his anger, he let her pass to see clearly.
“How could it be you?” Unexpectedly, Xia Erxi would appear in her home: Xinluo was completely frozen.
“Can’t it be me?” Xia Erxi smiled very gently, a gentleness that was somewhat eerie.
Daring to secretly escape with his baby, don’t look like a guilty thief.
“You, you…”
“Dad, excuse me, can I have a word?” Xia Erxi nodded and smiled at Qi’s father.
“Mm.” Qi’s father responded.
Dad?
Xinluo stared at Xia’erxi in disbelief – he had actually already called her father “Dad”? What was going on here? “Darling, let’s go!” He gently pulled her hand towards the door, not forgetting to raise an eyebrow provocatively at Gao Yizhe, who had run over to join in.
“What’s going on? Why are you here?” As soon as they walked out of the house, Xinluo’s questions came like a rapid-fire barrage, “How did you know where my home is?”
“These questions should be asked by me first,” Xia’erxi’s beautiful black eyes locked deeply onto her, making her feel somewhat guilty, “What is Gao Yizhe doing here?”
“He, he…” Damn it! He was stealing the spotlight! “Don’t tell me he’s the child’s father,” he said softly.
“…” Her breath suddenly caught: Xinluo quickly turned her face away, unable to speak.
“Why didn’t you tell me about the pregnancy?” He asked, surely he could ask this? “Are you planning to hide this from me for a lifetime? To let me misunderstand you forever?” He cupped her face, forcing her to face him.
“What’s the point of you asking now when you clearly didn’t care whether there was a child or if it was yours?”
“Who says I didn’t care?” He raised an eyebrow, displeased.
“You’re still denying it, when Lan Zhenyun is living proof,” Xinluo bit her lower lip. “I didn’t tell you for your own good, to prevent you from thinking I was the type of woman who wanted to trap you with a child.”
“Lan Zhenyun is Lan Zhenyun, you are you. Don’t confuse them!”
“He gritted his teeth and whispered, ‘You’ve never asked me.’ ‘I did ask you! You said you would absolutely not admit it, and even wanted to take the child for a DNA test!’ Don’t try to act like it didn’t happen. ‘The person you asked was Lan Zhenyun! Not Qi Xinluo!’ Feeling dizzy with anger, Xia’er hummed low. ‘What’s the difference?’ ‘From beginning to end, there’s a difference. I have no feelings for those women, so of course I’m not affected.’ ‘What about me? Do you have feelings for me?’ She didn’t believe him. ‘I like you, can’t you feel it? You’re special to me!’ If she wasn’t pregnant now, he really wanted to shake her hard and see if she could wake up. ‘How am I special? You’re still running around flirting everywhere!’ Don’t make excuses sound so high-minded! ‘Qi Xinluo, Miss Qi, this game was set by you from the beginning. You said I wouldn’t be faithful, you wanted me to flirt outside while you willingly stayed hidden like a little wife. You said I could have affairs, as long as I came back to you.’ ‘I…’ Suddenly, she was speechless: Xinluo couldn’t find words to refute. Damn! He was actually using this against her. His implication was that she asked him to go out and cheat? ‘No matter what I do, you’re indifferent and unconcerned. The truly unfathomable one is you. You make me unsure if you love me?’ He said this with a sense of grievance. ‘I don’t love you?
」Xinluo raised her voice, with grievances surging up. 「If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have compromised and stayed by your side for so many years, watching you flirt everywhere without saying a word! 」 「You can speak up! I never asked you to swallow your grievances. Sometimes my deliberate provocation is just hoping you would react more, to make me feel that you still have feelings. 」He finally spoke the words deep in his heart. 「You—forget it, we have nothing more to say. 」Angry: Xinluo turned and walked away. The implication was that her suffering over the years was all her own fault? 「Wait! Let me finish, 」he quickly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her firmly into his embrace, and softly asked: 「Think about it with a clear conscience, which time after an argument was I not the first to take the initiative? Which time was I not the first to lower my head? 」 「……」Okay! She admitted this point. But this doesn’t mean it can make up for his previous hurt to her! 「Which time was I not the first to say I missed you? Remember your important days clearly? 」 「……」Uh~~ well… it seems to be like that! 「Xinluo, let’s start over, okay? Don’t worry about what we’ve promised before? 」He pressed his forehead against hers, his large hand holding her tightly.
“I want you to intervene in my life, don’t you dare turn a blind eye to my actions, I want you to get angry for me, be happy for me, we might occasionally argue over disagreements, but don’t ignore me anymore…” “I… don’t understand what you mean?” Her chest suddenly tightened: Xinluo bit her lower lip. “I’m trying to win you back! Can’t you feel it?” He sighed silently, “From now on, there won’t be any other women, rest assured, I only want you.”
This time leaving, he had already reported to his father, definitely planning to bring a daughter-in-law back home. “…” Hearing this: Xinluo lowered her head, her eyes misty with tears. Was this what she had been waiting for all these years?
