Actually, he did care about her.
The uneasiness in the depths of Bai Lu's eyes gradually disappeared.
She didn't want much. She wasn't an 18-year-old girl who would dream that love was greater than the sky. She wouldn't think that a simple "I love you" could make the two of them last forever and never change their minds.
Just like what he said before, promises were too fragile. What she needed was to feel his heart.
So now, she was already very satisfied.
She slowly smiled at him, stood on her tiptoes again, and took the initiative to kiss him.
Liang Feifan obviously didn't expect her to be so proactive today. However, he naturally wouldn't reject a delicious meal that was delivered to his doorstep. He wrapped his hands around her slender waist and lifted her body slightly. He leaned down and deepened the kiss.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the large floor-to-ceiling glass window.
Not far from the horizon, the salted egg yolk was slowly sinking. Occasionally, the wind would blow, and the potted plants on the balcony would dance in the breeze. Everything seemed peaceful and warm …
The sunset was infinitely beautiful …
Chin Jin-hee had just pushed open the door to her house when she felt that something was wrong.
The lights in the living room were on. There seemed to be a man and a woman talking in the room.
She frowned and changed into slippers at the entrance. Sure enough, it wasn't long before she heard a familiar female voice.
"Mom, you're back!"
Chin Jin-hee put down the keys in her hand and glanced at her daughter. She looked happy, but nothing seemed wrong. She secretly sighed in relief. "Yes. Have you eaten?"
"No." Bai Lu stepped forward and held her mother's wrist. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Mom, someone came with me today. He … wants to see you."
Chin Jin-hee wasn't surprised at all. "The child's father?"
Bai Lu had grown up accustomed to her mother's indifference. No matter how big the situation was, she didn't seem to have too many emotional fluctuations.
Even when her father passed away, she wasn't like other people who didn't cry her heart out when her husband passed away. Even the way she shed tears was elegant and calm. Bai Lu was still young at the time, but she already understood that her mother's personality had always been like this.
"Hello, Auntie."
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the living room, Liang Feifan had already stood up. He politely nodded slightly to Qin Zhenxi and greeted her appropriately.
"Mr. Liang, you don't have to be so polite. Please have a seat," Chin Jin-hee patted the back of Bai Lu's hand and said in a low voice, "Go get some water."
Bai Lu replied with an "oh" and quickly walked into the kitchen.
Chin Jin-hee sat down opposite Liang Feifan. She did not look at him abruptly, and when she opened her mouth to speak, she was natural and unrestrained.
"I heard from Bai Lu that he hasn't eaten yet, right? I usually live here alone, and the food is very simple. If you don't mind, I'll go and cook now … "
"Auntie, you don't have to go through so much trouble."
Liang Feifan hurriedly said. Speaking of which, this could also be considered as meeting the parents.
Mr. Liang, who had always been successful in the business world, felt a little nervous when facing an ordinary housewife today.
He coughed softly and said, "Actually, I came here today to talk to you about Bai Lu and me."
…
Bai Lu had just walked to the door when she happened to hear Liang Feifan's somewhat restrained voice.
She instinctively stopped in her tracks. She was holding a plate with three cups of warm water on it. Bai Lu's eyes swept across the plain water in front of her and raised her head again. Her gaze rested on the man sitting on the sofa not too far away.
— — He had always been high and mighty, but now he was sitting on the sofa in her house. How many years had that sofa been in her house?
The incandescent light shone down on the top of his head. Bai Lu looked at him in a daze.
She felt her chest soften into a mess.
"Mr. Liang, I know what you want to say. Bai Lu has already told me before."
Chin Jin-hee probably didn't want to make the conversation awkward or difficult. Now that she was speaking with the attitude of an elder, she tried to speak as calmly as possible. "I'm a medical staff myself, and I've been doing this for many years. I understand very well how precious life is. Although the child in my daughter's belly was an accident, I also believe that this is a gift from God to you. "
She paused and expressed her attitude very seriously. "I won't oppose you. Although I told Bai Lu before that it would be very tiring for ordinary people like us to integrate into a rich family like yours, in the end, I will respect her decision. Today, when she brought you home, I know that she has made a decision. "
Before Liang Feifan came, he had already done all kinds of homework.
He was a rich young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The people around him had always tried to communicate with him. He only needed to stand in a high position and give orders.
The influence of his environment over a long period of time had caused him to have moments when he dealt with people arbitrarily.
However, before he came to see Chin Jin-hee, he had really put in a lot of effort.
He had sent people to investigate this woman's background. According to the information, Chin Jin-hee's family background seemed to be quite good. She used to be a well-bred young lady from a scholarly family. Her father, Bai Lu's grandfather, was a university professor, and Bai Lu's grandmother was a specialist doctor.
When she was 25 years old, she met Bai Lu's father, Bai Linghan.
Bai Lu's father was also a very talented architect. However, because he passed away relatively early, he did not leave behind many works. However, just by looking at Bai Lu, one could tell that she had inherited a lot of her father's talent.
It wasn't easy to figure out a person's thoughts just by looking at the information. There wasn't much information on Qin Zhenxi either. It was just a few simple lines, but it could almost sum up most of her life — —
She got married and had a daughter at 25 years old. Until now, she had been working in the hospital here. Her life was very peaceful, and there were almost no fluctuations.
Liang Feifan had even wondered how he should explain the whole thing to her.
However, he did not expect that she would take the initiative to open the door for him.
This elegant woman's every movement was indifferent. It was as if there was a layer of membrane between them, but it did not make people feel that it was difficult to get close to her.
"Auntie, thank you." Liang Feifan said from the bottom of his heart, "Actually, I was still thinking about how I should talk about this matter. After all, I'm a man, and I have to bear a lot of responsibility for making your daughter pregnant before marriage. However, I did not expect that you would be able to tell me so calmly. You can understand, so I am indeed relieved now. I can assure you that I won't let Bailu be wronged, and her child won't be an illegitimate child. "
Chin Jin-hee nodded. "Bai Lu has always been a very opinionated child. Her actions have never worried me. Now, I will believe in her choice." She stood up. "Stay tonight. I will cook for you."
When she turned around, she saw Bai Lu standing at the door with three glasses of water in her hands. The corners of her mouth twitched. "You guys talk. I will go to the kitchen to cook."
"Mom, I will help you …" Bai Lu placed the glasses of water on the coffee table and followed her to the kitchen.
Chin Jin-hee stopped her at the door and glared at her helplessly. "Look at you. Are you still shy?"
"Mom … When did I?"
"You came out of my womb. How can I not know what you are thinking?" Chin Jin-hee reached out and smoothed her daughter's hair out of her ears. She sounded relieved. "But to be honest, you did bring Longjin home before. But at that time, I knew that you and he might not be together. I did not have any foresight, but I saw through your expression."
"Look at you now. Your eyes are glued to him all the time, and you look so shy when you are facing him … Bai Lu, you have really grown up. This is the taste of love. Experience it well. It is very, very difficult to meet a man you love who is good to you. But when you meet him, you have to hold on to him with all your might. "
Chin Jin-hee's gaze was a little absent-minded. This was the first time Bai Lu had seen her mother speak so emotionally. Her gaze was drifting, as if she was looking at someone else through her.
She thought that it must be her father.
"Since you have decided that it's him, then let's move on from now on. I can tell that he is a good person. As long as he treats you well, I can rest assured. " She reached out and gently squeezed Bai Lu's palm. She smiled at her. "Mom wishes you well."
"… Mom." Bai Lu felt a lump in her throat. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt like crying. She thought that it must be because she was pregnant, so her emotions were magnified. She choked and said, "… Thank you, thank you." "Okay, go and keep him company. Can you bear to leave him alone in the living room?"
"Mom …"
"Go ahead. I'll prepare dinner."
Bai Lu reached out and wiped her face. When she walked back into the living room, Liang Feifan had found a photo album from somewhere and placed it on the coffee table. He bent over slightly and looked at it seriously.
Bai Lu was standing a little far away, but she could tell at a glance that the album contained photos of her since she was a child. It was a very thick album, and had always been in her room. Her mother must have taken it out to look at it when she wasn't home.
Seeing that Liang Feifan had already flipped through a third of the photo album, Bai Lu guessed that he had seen the photos of her when she was still in school. She quickly went forward and threw herself at the photo album. She questioned him with some annoyance, "Hey, how can you do this? How can you casually look at someone's privacy without the owner's permission? "
Liang Feifan reached out and pushed her finger away from the photo album. He frowned and said, "Someone else's privacy? Are you my 'someone else'? "
"…? In any case, you're not allowed to look! "
"Why can't I look?" His expression was a little gloomy and he looked a little unhappy. "Are you afraid that I'll see something that I'm not allowed to see?"
"What?"
