Five Hundred and Twenty-Six: Home Is Where He Is

Xia Guopeng looked at the two of them happily, "Sit down, sit down. Sister Wang, make a cup of tea. Dabai, what do you want to drink?"

Time and identity are both terrible things. Now that the father and daughter meet again, they are a little stranger. Probably because he knew that she was not his biological daughter, he felt a little more guilty about the past.

Xia Dabai shook his little head, "I will drink whatever Dabao drinks."

Xia Guopeng said to Sister Wang: "Then just two cups."

Sister Wang turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Why did you remember coming here today?" Xia Guopeng was quite surprised. In fact, they rarely contacted each other. When he was a father, he did not fulfill his duties. Now that she has recognized her biological parents, she has even less contact with them.

Xia Xingchen glanced at the gift beside him and said, "This is a New Year greeting to you and grandma. I was supposed to come here early, but some things delayed it. I just got married to Ye Qing today, so I came here to say something to you.

At this time, Xia Guopeng was still very touched when she not only informed him on the phone about her marriage, but also talked to him in detail face to face.

"I have read all your recent news. I also know about his resignation. It can be seen that he treats you sincerely. You suffered so much in the past, and it is only natural that you have a good home now. "

When Xia Guopeng said this, he thought of Xia Xingkong and Li Lingyi in prison.

He sighed heavily, "It was my father who was too indulgent in the past, which is why the mother and daughter made the same mistake over and over again and caused you so much trouble."

"Those things are in the past." Xia Xingchen didn't want to mention it any more.

Xia Guopeng nodded and looked at her, wanting to say something, but he hesitated. Xia Xingchen guessed what he wanted to ask her, but if he didn't ask, she wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

After a while, Xia Guopeng said: "How about you and Dabai stay for dinner? We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Besides, the old lady is still asleep upstairs and won't wake up for a while."

Xia Xingchen looked at the time, it was already past 3 o'clock. It's only a little over two hours before dinner time.

She lowered her head and glanced at Xia Dabai beside her. Xia Dabai shrugged, "I don't care."

The house had not been lively for a long time. Xia Guopeng was very happy and turned around and said: "Sister Wang, cook more dishes tonight!"

Xia Dabai couldn't sit still for two hours.

Especially in such a cold environment, so after sitting for a while, he ran to the backyard to play. Xia Xingchen warned him from behind not to run around, then ran up and put a scarf on his neck before letting him go out to play.

Xia Guopeng stood up and walked over. When Xia Xingchen raised her head, she met Xia Guopeng's eyes and heard her say: "Come for a walk with me?"

"good."

Xia Xingchen followed him out of the villa.

The villa park is very quiet. The trees on the street have bare branches. Xia Xingchen noticed that he had a few more white hairs on his temples compared to the last time he saw him.

"How is your health now?"

"Is Shen Min feeling well now?"

Two people asked the same question together.

Looking at each other and smiling, Xia Guopeng said: "Very tough."

She also replied: "My mother is also very good."

"..." Xia Guopeng nodded.

"What do you want to say?"

"...Can you make a call for me and ask your mother to come over and have dinner together?" Xia Guopeng finally expressed his thoughts.

"Why don't you fight it yourself?"

"Me?" Xia Guopeng smiled bitterly, "I went to Liangcheng to look for her, but she didn't pay much attention to me. Later I found out that she was celebrating the New Year here, and asked the old lady to make many phone calls, but..."

Speaking of this, his eyes darkened a lot. The outcome is predictable.

Xia Xingchen shook his head, "You are too insincere."

"Not sincere?"

"How can you ask grandma to call? If you are really thoughtful, you should call yourself no matter what. If she refuses once, you can call again; if she refuses twice, you can call twice. You want If you really have that kind of thought, my mother will agree to it one day."

"Really?" Xia Guopeng looked at his daughter inquiringly.

"Yeah." She nodded, casually took down the dead leaves that fell on her head, stopped, and said: "If Mom really doesn't care about you at all, she won't care about you for so many years. I have never married. I heard from the aunts next door that in recent years, there have been many people chasing her and introducing partners to her. The conditions of those people are not bad. However, she not only rejected them all, but She refuses to even meet you. I think...she may not have completely let go of you in her heart."

Xia Guopeng was a little excited, "Xingchen, are all these things you said true? But she told me that she is still single now. She is not lying to me. It's because the previous one has passed away. She is still unmarried because Can’t forget him.”

Xia Xingchen sighed, "There is a grave in my heart where the widows are buried. I think this is probably my mother's state of mind now."

so……

What this means is, does he actually still have a place in Shen Min's heart?

Thinking of this, Xia Guopeng seemed to be greatly inspired, and turned around and walked towards the villa. After taking two steps, he turned back, seeming to remember that he had left his daughter behind.

Xia Xingchen smiled, "Hurry up and make a phone call. The air outside is good, let me get some fresh air."

"I'll come back and tell you the results later."

Xia Guopeng hurried in. After changing his dull mood, he was now in high spirits, as if a door suddenly opened and the sun shone in.

Xia Xingchen looked at the back with emotion. I just don’t know when my mother will be able to let go again.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang at this moment.

I took it and looked at Bai Yeqing's phone.

"Are you here?" After picking up, he asked from the other side.

"Yeah. It's been a while. Aren't you busy?"

"We just finished the meeting. They didn't look down on you, did they?"

Xia Xingchen smiled, knowing that he couldn't see it, but still shook his head. While saying: "Maybe it's because of my background, I'm a little unfamiliar now. However, it's also strange. Now we get along with each other more easily than before. In the past, when I took Dabai with me, I was always uneasy, worried about this, Worry about that. Now, everything is different, much calmer. Do you think it’s because we both got red books? "

"Why bother about the reason? Just feel comfortable with me. If you feel like you can't get along with me, come back early. You'll always be more relaxed at home than outside."

Xia Xingchen looked up at the sky.

It had just rained two days ago, and now the sky is a romantic blue, which is very exciting.

However, his last words moved her even more.
