Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Chat

“I’m fine.” After a while, An Zixi raised his head and gave Lin Qiyuan a bright smile. Lin Qiyuan was stunned when he saw her smile, but he quickly reacted.

An Zixi had really changed, becoming strong. Perhaps the current her was the last thing he needed to worry about.

The car soon arrived at its destination. Mrs. Xu got off the car in front of him and would come to help An Zixi as soon as he got off. When An Zixi got off the car, Mrs. Xu was especially nervous. “Slow down, slow down. Your health is not good, you have to take it slow.”

Looking at Mrs. Xu’s nervous appearance, An Zixi felt extremely embarrassed. Especially since there were so many people watching her from the side, she really felt very embarrassed.

She lowered her head and said to Mrs. Xu, “Mom, you don’t have to worry so much, right? I’m fine. I’ve been outside for so long, and I’m still here, so you don’t have to be so careful.”

It was good not to say that, but Mrs. Xu’s expression was not good when he said that. She began to blame herself, “It’s Mom’s fault. Mom left you alone outside for so long. Of course, Mom will take care of you wholeheartedly when you come back.”

After saying those words, An Zixi was already about to cry without tears.

“Mom, that’s not what I meant. I really don’t need you to take care of me like this.”

However, Mrs. Xu ignored An Zixi’s words and continued to support her carefully. Looking at her serious expression, she was really afraid that it would melt in her mouth and shatter in her hands.

Elder Xu naturally knew Mrs. Xu’s temper. If she insisted on doing this, no one would be able to control her. Therefore, he could only shake his head and lead her into the room.

“Zixi, let your mother serve you well. She has been thinking about serving you for many days. Now, she can’t wait to follow behind you every day.”

Hearing Elder Xu’s words, An Zixi did not speak anymore, so he could only leave Mrs. Xu busy.

Lin Qiyuan sat on the sofa and watched as Mrs. Xu brought him tea and water. After a while, he looked after An Zixi and could only say, “Auntie, you don’t have to help me. If I want to eat or drink anything, I will make it myself.”

An Zixi also echoed, “Mom, so do I. Sit down and don’t be too busy!”

After An Zixi finished speaking, Lin Qiyuan also nodded in agreement. Mrs. Xu didn’t want to stop. Just as she was about to speak, Elder Xu said, “Old granny, aren’t you going to cook for Xiao Lin? Hurry up and cook. It’s almost time.”

As soon as Xu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu suddenly understood and patted his head. “Yeah, I forgot about that. It’s time to eat. You guys must be hungry. I’ll go cook.”

Seeing Mrs. Xu’s cute actions, everyone in the hall started laughing, and An Zixi’s stomach hurt from laughing. How did she know now that she had such a cute mother? If only her life had continued like this.

After Mrs. Xu entered the kitchen, only Elder Xu, Lin Qiyuan, and An Zixi remained in the living room. An Zixi didn’t say anything at first. He watched Lin Qiyuan and Elder Xu chat. Occasionally, he would interrupt and stop talking. Instead, he watched the two of them chat with rapt attention.

“Xiao Lin’s current career is progressing quite well.”

Elder Xu nodded, expressing his approval of Lin Qiyuan’s career. Lin Qiyuan felt extremely embarrassed. He looked at An Zixi awkwardly, but saw that she was looking at him with a smile on her face, as if she agreed with Elder Xu’s words.

Lin Qiyuan shook his head. “Uncle thinks too highly of me. I’m just following my own interests.”

“En, young man, you must be like you. You have ideals and goals. I admire such a person.”

This was the first time that An Zixi heard Elder Xu say that he appreciated it. He was also stunned for a moment, then pulled Lin Qiyuan’s sleeve and whispered, “That’s right, my father is praising you. He rarely praises others.”

“Yes, I know. Thank you, aunt.” Lin Qiyuan also felt particularly honored. His smile was pure and clean.

“You’re welcome.” After Elder Xu finished speaking, he turned to look at An Zixi and said earnestly, “Zixi, what do you plan to do in the future?”

An Zixi did not expect Elder Xu to ask her this question so quickly. Her expression sank and she was a little sad.

“I haven’t made up my mind. I want to wait for the baby to be born before making any plans.”

“Alright, then think about it carefully. There’s no hurry now.” Elder Xu nodded thoughtfully, but his gaze towards An Zixi was still somewhat worried. “I hope that you can safely give birth to the child now. Even if you don’t plan to do anything in the future, Mom and Dad will help you arrange it. So, you can rest assured first, understand?”

An Zixi was moved when he heard this. Although she was adopted by Su Wanyun back then, Su Wanyun only treated her as a tool, so she didn’t have any feelings for her at all, causing An Zixi to feel regret again and again. Fortunately, An Heng treated her fairly well, so she persisted.

Therefore, this was the first time she felt so-called kinship, and it was from her biological parents. It made her feel unprecedented warmth and touched, and she even felt that she was the happiest person in the world at this time.

Actually, when she was still in the orphanage, she had more than once thought about why her biological parents had abandoned her so ruthlessly, telling herself that if she had the chance in the future, she must ask them properly, and then completely cut off her relationship with them.

However, after he knew Elder Xu and returned to Elder Xu and the couple, all of her thoughts dissipated, because he knew that Elder Xu and Madam Xu loved him, so he had no choice but to abandon him back then.

Therefore, An Zixi repeatedly told herself in her heart that she must accompany the two old men in the future and make up for what she had lacked in the past few years. Not only did she have to enjoy the warmth of her parents, she also had to show filial piety to the two old men and let them enjoy the happiness of their children.

“Dad, I know. I won’t worry. We’ll walk together in the future. Dad, thank you for finding me and making me feel the warmth of home.” As he spoke, two lines of clear tears flowed out of An Zixi’s eyes, causing Elder Xu’s heart to ache.

He directly held An Zixi in his arms and said, “Zixi, it was your parents who let you down in the past. They made you suffer so much, but it will never happen again. Your mother and I will definitely compensate you properly. We will make up for all the suffering you have suffered for so many years. We will definitely never let you suffer again.”

“Dad, don’t say that. I don’t mean to blame you. I’m just very happy. I have my own parents. I can sit happily with my family and eat the food that my mother cooked for me.”

As they spoke, tears appeared in the eyes of Elder Xu and An Zixi. This made Lin Qiyuan unable to continue watching. He hurriedly said, “Uncle Xu, Zixi, the two of you are clearly happy to be together. Why are you both crying?”

Hearing Lin Qiyuan’s words, An Zixi and Elder Xu hurriedly wiped away their tears and said, “Right, right, Zixi’s return is something worth celebrating. We shouldn’t cry. We shouldn’t cry anymore. We should all be happy. We should be happy.”

An Zixi also climbed out of Elder Xu’s arms and said, “Mm-hmm, I won’t cry anymore. Dad, you can talk to Xiao Qi here! I’ll go to the kitchen and see if I can do something that I can to help my mother fight.”

“Zixi, you better not go. You still have the baby in your stomach. Just stay there. There are servants in the kitchen helping your mother! Don’t worry, you don’t have to go anymore.”

An Zixi was still pregnant with a baby in his stomach. He could be said to be the Xu Clan’s key protection target. How could Elder Xu be at ease with letting An Zixi go to the kitchen? If he accidentally knocked on it, it would not be a simple matter.

An Zixi knew that Elder Xu cared about him, so he smiled and said, “Dad, don’t worry! I’m fine, even if I can’t help Mom, I can still talk to her! We women have a lot to talk about after such a long time.”

Hearing An Zixi say this, Master Xu stopped talking because he knew that his old woman still had a lot to say to An Zixi. Last time, she hurriedly recognized him, but then she welcomed her departure. There were many things that she hadn’t said yet. So he nodded and said, “Alright then! You go and accompany your mother! But don’t work, just stay by the side and chat with your mother to relieve her of her boredom.”

An Zixi nodded and carefully walked towards the kitchen. Elder Xu’s heart ached even more when he saw An Zixi’s figure. Although he did not mind the child in An Zixi’s stomach, if An Zixi had been by his side, she would not have let such a thing happen to An Zixi.

Therefore, he felt that he was truly sorry for An Zixi. He had caused An Zixi a lot of suffering. He had clearly chosen to give birth to An Zixi, but he had let her endure it. Many of the suffering she did not deserve was his fault.

Lin Qiyuan knew that Elder Xu’s eyes were full of tears. He felt guilty for not taking good care of An Zixi and felt sorry for An Zixi. That was why he had eyes. He said to Elder Xu, “Uncle Xu, you don’t need to be sad. After all, Zixi is back now, and everything that happened in the past is over.”

“Xiao Qi, I know that you and Zi Xi grew up in the same orphanage. Can you tell me about Zi Xi’s childhood? Did anyone bully him, or did she ever tell you if she hated her biological parents?”

An Zixi had never asked Lin Qiyuan about his biological parents before, so Lin Qiyuan was at a loss for answers to Elder Xu’s question. However, he looked at Elder Xu’s sad expression and said, “Uncle Xu, don’t worry!” Zi Xi had been very sensible since childhood. She had never said anything like hating her biological parents. She always told herself that it must be her biological parents who sent her to the orphanage because of some reason. ”

Hearing Lin Qiyuan’s words, Elder Xu felt a trace of gratification in his heart, but the guilt in his heart grew even greater. He felt that he was guilty about An Zixi. An Zixi still understood him like this. What he did was really not enough. He simply did not deserve to be called a father.

Lin Qiyuan originally wanted to comfort Elder Xu, but he didn’t expect Elder Xu to feel even more sad after hearing his words. He hurriedly said, “Uncle Xu, what’s wrong? Zi Xi’s return is such a good thing. Don’t feel bad. Otherwise, Zi Xi won’t feel good in his heart. Today is a day worth celebrating.”

Now, An Zixi is Elder Xu’s life. When he mentioned An Zixi, Elder Xu immediately tidied up his mood and said to Lin Qiyuan, “Alright, Xiao Qi, I’m fine. I lost my composure just now. Don’t laugh. Tell me about Zixi’s childhood, okay?”

Lin Qiyuan nodded and began to tell Elder Xu about An Zixi’s childhood. Because An Zixi had always been entangled with Lin Qiyuan when he was a child, Lin Qiyuan recalled what happened to An Zixi when he was a child. As he recalled, he told Elder Xu everything about the past, so his face was always filled with a happy smile.

Elder Xu was also very happy to hear what had happened to An Zixi in the past. It was as if he had spent the same year with An Zixi beside An Zixi, and he had also received great compensation in his heart.
