"Your expression tells me that it's because of her."
Situ Lin smiled and lit a cigarette for himself. After thinking for a while, he handed one to Qin Fangang. However, Qin Fangang rejected it. He was going to quit smoking because Xin Yu was pregnant. Second-hand smoke was not good for the body. Now that she was pregnant, he had to be more careful.
"You're still going to quit smoking?"
The smile on Situ Lin's lips deepened. He did not force him. He lit a cigarette himself and exhaled a few mouthfuls of smoke. Then, he slowly said, "I'm afraid it's also because of her, right? Fan Gang, your mom even came to look for your auntie before. I'm not too sure about what women talk about. However, I know that your mom isn't happy. The reason she's unhappy is, of course, because of you. "
He flicked the cigarette ash. "You're your mom's only son. You're all her hope. She thinks that you're messing around with Lu Yihan's wife and affecting your future too much. I completely agree with this point. Previously, I thought that you were probably just fooling around, or perhaps you were doing it to deal with the Lu family. Of course, my thinking is a little lacking. However, I completely understand that when a man achieves great things, he sometimes uses some tricks. However, now it seems that I've been thinking too much. You're really serious about her. "
Qin Fangang crossed his long legs. His hands were casually placed on his knees. When he heard what Situ Lin said, his exquisite features were calm. He did not refute Situ Lin's words. Although the man was silent, the faint aura around him could completely intimidate this kind of situation.
Situ Lin saw that he did not speak, so he laughed to himself and suddenly changed the topic. "Fan Gang, you really want me to help you, don't you? It's not that I can't help you, but I have a condition. If you can do it, then I can do it too. "
Qin Fangang's eyes flickered. Before Situ Lin could state his conditions, he seemed to have the ability to predict the future. He spoke in a deep voice and said what was in his heart —
"Uncle Situ, I'm afraid you want me to leave Leng Xinyu and be with Xiao Yan. If it's possible, Xiao Yan will graduate in two years. At that time, you will hope that I will get engaged to her first. After a few years, when her job is stable, I can consider marrying her. I'm almost six years older than Xiao Yan and grew up with her. I've been protecting her as an older brother all year round. However, to you, I'm naturally the best choice for Xiao Yan. She trusts me and is familiar with me. If I really want her, I won't let her down. Your Situ Clan has treated this daughter like a precious pearl since she was young. Naturally, you would be at ease if she were to follow me. "
Situ Lin chuckled and put out the cigarette. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. "That's right, Fan Gang. You've never disappointed me."
"But I've fallen in love with a woman called Leng Xinyu. I'm afraid I've disappointed all of you."
"At least, your mother's heart is indeed broken."
Qin Fangang sighed softly. His deep eyes were a little unfocused. He gently rubbed his thumb with his index finger and said in a low voice, "Indeed, I can understand how she feels. However, I'll have to personally turn this situation around in the future. Now is not the time. Besides, I have too many things to deal with."
"Uncle Situ, what I just said is probably the condition that you want. Since I asked you to come here today, I must have thought of this as well. I can give you an answer now — if you really have to do this to get the list of names and information about B City's Tomb for the Living, then I will agree to your condition."
Situ Lin looked surprised. "You agree?"
Qin Fangang nodded. "Yes, I agree. However, there are some things that I need to make clear to you. I'll follow your expectations and get engaged to Xiao Yan in two years. After that, I'll consider marriage. However, Xin Yu is already pregnant and that child is mine. As a responsible man, I can't let my woman abort the child. I believe that Uncle Situ isn't someone who disregards human life. After all, Xin Yu and I fell in love first. Of course, I've also thought about it. If both of you choose to take a step back, then … Xin Yu's child will become an illegitimate child like me. From then on, Xiao Yan will always be Mrs. Xie. However, in this lifetime, I can protect her safety, but I can't give her a complete heart. These are all words from the bottom of my heart. Since you're an elder that I respect, I don't want to hide anything from you. "
Situ Lin's face was gloomy and he didn't speak for a long time. Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Fangang didn't say anything either. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips. After a while, a hearty laughter rang out in the private room.
"Good, good, good! It's indeed good! "
Situ Lin laughed heartily and clapped his hands. He stood up from the chair and raised his eyebrows. He looked down at Qin Fangang condescendingly. "I didn't expect you to take a step back in order to advance. Fine! Fan Gang, I've always liked you, and I do hope that you have the chance to become my son-in-law. This is also your mother's wish. However, what you said just now made me feel deeply. You are a responsible man, and this is very good. As an elder, I shouldn't erase these responsibilities of yours, and I shouldn't put too many burdens on your shoulders that you shouldn't have. I promise you, I'll get you a list of names. Xiao Yan doesn't need you to marry her. "
He reached out and patted Qin Fangang's shoulder. He said earnestly, "Child, you're indeed very charming. It's that woman's fortune to be able to receive your love. You're destined to be stronger than your father because you know what responsibility is! "
Xin Yu slept. When she woke up, she was much more energetic. However, because she had just gotten pregnant, her complexion wasn't very good.
Qin Fangang had returned about five minutes ago. Coincidentally, Xin Yu woke up. He walked forward and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder. He leaned over and said gently, "You're awake? How are you? Are you hungry? I bought you some food. Get up and eat, okay? "
Xin Yu was in a daze. Perhaps too many things had happened recently. Even when she was asleep, she was still very tense. However, when she woke up and suddenly saw Qin Fangang, her restless heart calmed down slightly.
"I'm … not very hungry."
Xin Yu opened her mouth. Her throat was very dry. As she spoke, she struggled to sit up. Qin Fangang helped her adjust the height of the bed. Finally, he placed a pillow on her waist. He reached out and took the porridge that he had specially bought for her from the bedside table. He brought it to her.
In front of outsiders, such a cold and aloof man only needed to beckon with his finger and someone would do everything for him. However, right now, he was holding a bowl of porridge and carefully bringing it to her mouth. He looked at her tenderly and said, "Whether you're hungry or not, you have to eat a little. Baby, you've slept for more than three hours and haven't eaten properly. Didn't you say you wanted porridge? I bought it especially for you. Eat a little, okay? "
Xin Yu really didn't have much of an appetite. Of course, it was also related to her pregnancy. She clearly felt that after being pregnant, it was easy to feel sleepy. Sometimes, she would feel like eating, but sometimes, she didn't want to eat anything.
However, since Qin Fangang said so, she couldn't refuse. She forced herself to eat a little. Luckily, the porridge that Qin Fangang bought for her tasted very good. After Xin Yu ate a few mouthfuls, she felt as though her taste buds had been opened. Then, she ate half a bowl. In the end, she really couldn't swallow anymore. She shook her head and said, "I've had enough. I can't eat anymore."
Qin Fangang put down the bowl and considerately wiped her mouth. Then, he let her sit on the bed. The man's large palm gently rubbed the woman's soft little hand. "Are you feeling unwell? You don't look too good. Do you want the doctor to come over and check on you? "
"No."
Xin Yu frowned. Her little body shrank in his arms and said, "Fan Gang, I want to go home."
"In the afternoon, I'll get the doctor to give you a full body checkup. If there's no problem, we'll go home."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and nodded. "I still want to see my father."
Qin Fangang's gaze paused. Xin Yu lowered her eyes and didn't notice anything strange about him. She said softly, "When I fell asleep just now, I had a dream. I dreamed of a lot of things in the past. I dreamed of my father and my mother …"
Speaking of this, Xinyu's voice was a little choked up. Those dreams had become very fleeting now, but that feeling was still in her chest. Whether it was a short period of happiness and sweetness, or a long period of pain and guilt, it was still tormenting her.
"My impression of my mother has become very blurry. I don't know if it's God's punishment for me, but I keep feeling like I did something wrong and made the wrong choice. Now, my father is still locked up in that hospital. I don't know how he's doing."
Xinyu knew that she was speaking incoherently because she knew that the people and things she had once believed in were suddenly overturned. That kind of feeling was undoubtedly earth-shattering. What she couldn't let go of was her understanding of Lu Shiyun and the respect she had for him in the past five years. She couldn't let go of her understanding of Lu Shiyun and the fact that she respected him and listened to him obediently in the past five years. If she really couldn't recognize people clearly, then what happened to the Leng family, including her father, was her fault?
This huge rock seemed to carry the weight of the entire world. It weighed heavily on her heart and made her feel uneasy. How could she let go of it? There were some things that she didn't think much of in the past, but when the truth was slowly revealed, she realized that the things she used to have doubts about had now become the deepest fear.
For example, at that time, she saw those people fiercely holding down Leng Dongming and forcefully injecting him with tranquilizers.
