Chapter 317

Hehe, you wouldn't understand this, and moreover, this below also involves some plans of Dad, but I still can't reveal too much to you now, because this plan hasn't been fully implemented yet; you just need to do your own work well.

Okay, I understand.

Xiao Yunzhe has this advantage, and moreover, if Xiao Ming really doesn't want to reveal too much to himself about something, he would absolutely not keep pursuing this matter, asking about it continuously.

So, after saying those words, he did not continue to go on about this matter.

Dad, this time Peipei truly is our family's lifesaver; if it weren't for him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yes, so after experiencing this life-and-death ordeal, I now truly value her greatly; if something unexpected really happened, I'm afraid I would spend the rest of my life feeling guilty, do you understand?

Okay, I understand; if you have something, go ahead and get busy; I'll temporarily keep an eye on things here, and if anything really comes up, I'll call you promptly.

Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dad; these past two days there really are some things that I can't stay in the hospital all the time, so here I can only rely on you.

It's fine, Dad; this is what I should be doing now.

By the way, also explain things properly to Jing Shu's side, so that she doesn't think you never came home and doesn't know where you went; if you two develop a conflict over this, Dad would truly become a sinner for the ages.

Hehe, Dad, don't worry, I'll explain things clearly to them.

By the way, have you been in contact with Zong Mengni these past two days?

Zong Mengni?

After saying that, he merely furrowed his brow slightly.

He didn't understand; why would he suddenly bring up this matter out of the blue?

Actually, after their last meeting, he felt a bit awkward, and he never imagined that his father would know so much about their affair.

Even he didn't understand how much he actually knew about their situation up to now.

I haven't, I haven't been in contact with her.

Really, no contact?

Really, Dad, why would you suddenly ask like that? Moreover, what's there to contact him about?

But I feel like you've been in contact with him quite frequently.

No, really not.

Xiao Yunzhe, while speaking, hurriedly lowered his head.

Moreover, it seemed he had never lied in front of Xiao Ming before; at this moment he truly didn't know what to say.

You know, actually a couple of days ago I wanted to talk to you, but because of various things I didn't get a chance to sit down and have a proper chat; now I happen to have a little time, come over, I have something I want to ask you.

While saying that, he waved his hand at him; actually, Xiao Yunzhe could understand what Xiao Ming wanted to explain to himself at this moment.

Some things, he didn't want to bring up so hastily, and he also didn't know how to answer in front of Xiao Ming.

He followed Xiao Ming to the side emergency exit; at that moment, there was nobody there at all.

Dad, go ahead and speak.

I ask you, do you and Jing Shu have any problems between you now?

Dad, what kind of problem could there be? Besides, hasn't it always been like that?

Do you see? When you say that now, I clearly feel you're being evasive; are you two arguing, or have you run into some conflict?

Dad, no, I just feel... well, I don't know how to put it; maybe it's because I've been with this woman for a long time, now...

What's wrong now? Now, do you feel some aversion?

Xiao Yunzhe didn't answer, but Xiao Ming could feel that if he didn't respond, it amounted to a full admission of the matter.

This is exactly what Xiao Ming worried about; actually, Xiao Ming used to be just such a person.

But he knows that doing so would be a grave mistake.

Yunzhe, actually, Dad is someone who's been through this, and we two are both men; if there's something, it's better to speak plainly; talking like this makes you an unfaithful man, do you understand?

Dad, actually I understand everything, I know it all, but I don't know why I suddenly feel that there's a long distance between me and him.

A long distance? Then, a few years ago, what were you doing? When she wasn't pregnant with you, you didn't have this feeling; now she's pregnant for you, she's had a miscarriage for you, and you say this—don't you feel it's somewhat inappropriate?

Yes, I know; so I haven't made any demands now, and I still treat her as I used to, but the key is, deep in my heart, I truly cannot deceive myself.

Okay, then I'll ask you another thing: when exactly did you have this feeling between you and him? Was it before Zong Mengni appeared, or after?

How can you say that? Let me tell you, the problem between us has nothing to do with Zong Mengni at all; in fact, even before Zong Mengni appeared, I had already started to feel this aversion toward him.

Xiao Yunzhe couldn't hold back and ended up spilling all those inner thoughts; upon hearing it, Xiao Ming merely let out a long sigh.

It can be said that this is probably what he worries about most; if his son truly keeps going further down this path, he might end up straying from his original intention.

Yunzhe, you're already this old, Dad really doesn't know how to talk to you, but I just hope you can be at peace with your conscience; do you understand?

Dad, I know, and the situation between me and him is really not what you imagine; I've been with her for many years, and actually I've never told you about many things.

I don't want to ask about your past matters, nor do I want to hear them; I just want to see how you should proceed from here on.

Dad, how should I go? I hope I can have my own choice; at work I will completely obey your orders and follow your arrangements, but regarding personal feelings, this really cannot be forced.
