Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Old Photograph
The next day, An Zixi woke up as early as usual. However, when she saw the surroundings, she remembered that she had returned to China. Now she did not need to work anymore, so in the end, An Zixi closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

Elder Xu and Mrs. Xu also had a good night’s dream. Especially since Mrs. Xu had not slept so peacefully for a long time. After he got up, he went to An Zixi’s room to make sure that An Zixi was really still alive. She was really afraid that what happened yesterday was just her dream.

When Madam Xu tried to open the door to An Zixi’s room and was sure that the door was locked to meet someone, Madam Xu was completely relieved and happily went to prepare breakfast for An Zixi.

Looking at Mrs. Xu who was in high spirits, Elder Xu was very happy. It had been a long time since Mrs. Xu had smiled so happily since An Zixi had lost her. Moreover, Mrs. Xu had not personally come down to the kitchen since then, so Elder Xu had really not eaten the food personally cooked by Mrs. Xu for a long time.

However, as soon as An Zixi came back, he had a good meal, so he really felt that he was very happy now. The family was very happy. When the child in An Zixi’s stomach was born, they could help An Zixi take care of the child and make up for the happiness they did not experience back then.

Then she went downstairs and waited for Madam Xu to make breakfast. After a long time, An Zixi got up from bed. An Zixi suddenly felt that she could really sleep. When she went downstairs, she found that Madam Xu had already prepared breakfast for her. Elder Xu and Madam Xu were waiting for her in the dining room.

An Zixi immediately felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly walked into the restaurant and said, “Mom and Dad, I’m sorry I got up late. I’ve kept you waiting.”

Elder Xu and Madam Xu had waited for this day for a long time. Of course, they did not mind An Zixi coming late. Even if they did mind her saying that her parents made the two old men not angry at all.

Madam Xu hurriedly stood up and helped An Zixi sit down and said, “It’s fine, Zixi. You’re pregnant now. It’s normal for you to be sleepy. After all, you’re sleeping with two people. So you don’t have to feel embarrassed. It doesn’t matter if you sleep a little longer. If I were the only one who could ruin you, I would be able to sleep there.”

After listening to Madam Xu’s words, An Zixi understood why he was getting more and more sleepy these days. It could be considered as solving her problem. He said, “So that’s what happened! I said, how can I sleep so well these days? I thought I was sick.”

Hearing An Zixi’s words, Elder Xu and Madam Xu laughed. Madam Xu smiled and said, “Zixi, there are many symptoms of pregnancy. In the past, you didn’t have a wise person to take care of you. You definitely don’t know. But now that you’ve returned to your mother’s side, Mother will take good care of you. If you don’t know anything, just ask Mother.”

“That’s right! Zixi, your mother is someone who has been here before. In the future, let him take good care of you and ensure that you and your child are safe and sound.” Elder Xu answered.

An Zixi was very happy to see the peaceful atmosphere. Elder Xu and Madam Xu also liked such a scene. This was the scene they had been waiting for for a long time. They were really happy and satisfied that such a situation could occur now.

An Zixi looked at the breakfast his mother made for him and felt very appetizing. He had always fantasized about eating the breakfast his mother had prepared for him, which made him feel very happy. Looking at breakfast made him even more appetizing.

During breakfast, Elder Xu and Madam Xu kept watching An Zixi, causing An Zixi to feel a little uncomfortable. An Zixi said embarrassedly, “Mom and Dad, you guys should eat too! Don’t keep looking at me, I’m embarrassed.”

After hearing An Zixi’s words, Madam Xu and Elder Xu hurriedly nodded their heads and said, “Yes, everyone has dinner.”

He borrowed Elder Xu and said, “Zixi, did you have any plans or places you wanted to go when you just came back? Mom and Dad will accompany you for a walk to make up for it.”

“No need, Mom and Dad. I know you guys don’t have to spend time with me on purpose. You guys go do your things first! When you guys have time, we’ll go out and play together. Anyway, we won’t leave anymore. We still have a lot of time to play there.”

Looking at An Zixi’s sensible appearance, Elder Xu and Madam Xu felt very gratified. They felt that although they had been absent from An Zixi’s life these past few years and had not taken good care of An Zixi, An Zixi had still become an obedient and sensible child.

Therefore, they looked at An Zixi and loved him even more. They felt that it was their fortune to have such a daughter. They were glad that they had finally found An Zixi and reunited the family.

After breakfast, An Zixi said to the two old men, “Mom and Dad, yesterday, I, Xiao Qi, agreed. She said that she would take me out for a walk today, so I might have to go out later.”

If An Zixi went out on his own, or if the others brought An Zixi with them, Elder Xu and Madam Xu would not agree. However, Lin Qiyuan was different. They believed that Lin Qiyuan would definitely take good care of An Zixi. He wasn’t any worse than himself, so he didn’t refute An Zixi’s words.

After all, they did have things to do in the future. Originally, they wanted to let things go in order to accompany An Zixi, but when they heard that Lin Qiyuan was accompanying An Zixi, they were relieved.

However, Elder Xu warned, “Zixi, you can go out, but you must be careful. It’s inconvenient for you now. You shouldn’t go anywhere with too many people. It’s good for you and your child to go to a quiet place and breathe fresh air. However, you can’t go to a place that is too damp. Now that your body is weak, you will catch a cold.”

An Zixi nodded. Madam Xu said, “Zixi, you are a person with a body now. There are many things you must do. Notice that you can’t touch anything anywhere you go to avoid dirt. So you must be careful. It’s best not to go to a lively place, otherwise it will be unsafe.”

Although Su, Xiao Mo, and Lin Qiyuan had reminded him of this in the past, An Zixi felt that the feeling back then was completely different from the feeling he felt now. After all, these past few years had still contained dense kinship, which was much warmer than Su, Xiao Mo, and the others’ reminders.

Therefore, An Zixi happily nodded and told them to know. Then, Elder Xu and Madam Xu told An Zixi to take good care of An Zixi and left. An Zixi waited at home for Lin Qiyuan to pick him up.

Before Lin Qiyuan arrived, An Zixi also visited the Xu Mansion with his servants and saw many photos of Madam Xu and Elder Xu. Generally speaking, there are three types of photographs. One is that when Elder Xu and Mrs. Xu were young, the two of them had just formed a family together.

Everyone had a happy smile on their faces. Moreover, when Madam Xu was pregnant, every photo could make people feel Madam Xu’s strong expectation for the baby in her stomach. It was obvious that Madam Xu and Elder Xu were really looking forward to the baby that was about to be born.

Therefore, An Zixi was even more certain that the reason they abandoned him back then must have been because they had no choice but to do so. After that was the photo of An Zixi after he was born. However, although these photographs could see Elder Xu and Madam Xu smiling, An Zixi could tell that this smile was not from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, if one looked seriously, one could see traces of bitterness in the smiles of Elder Xu and Madam Xu. Furthermore, the comparison between the previous and future photographs clearly showed that Elder Xu and Madam Xu had lost a lot of weight, and there were many white hairs on both sides of their temples. An Zixi thought that Elder Xu and Madam Xu had never been really happy after he had been lost! Looking at these photos, the sharp contrast in the photos told An Zixi that Elder Xu and Madam Xu really loved her. What happened back then was only forced.

An Zixi hugged the photo album tightly in his arms, feeling the past life of Elder Xu and Madam Xu. Slowly, tears flowed out from the corner of An Zixi’s eyes, because she knew that Elder Xu and Madam Xu must have had a very bad time these past few years.

After Lin Qiyuan arrived at the set, the director told him that he had something to do today. He hoped that he would finish filming his scenes as he did yesterday so that he could leave early. Although the director was very curious about what Lin Qiyuan had been doing these past two days, Lin Qiyuan had also spoken.

He also knew that Lin Qiyuan must have something to do, so he agreed. During filming, Lin Qiyuan quickly entered his state and actively guided his opponents to enter his state as well. He wanted them to fight for all the scenes in one go. After finishing his work, Lin Qiyuan exchanged a few words with everyone. After taking care of the director, he hurriedly left.

He didn’t want An Zixi to wait for him for too long. Because the servants of the Xu Clan already knew Lin Qiyuan, they opened the door to let Lin Qiyuan in after seeing him. Lin Qiyuan parked his car and asked the servants, “Where is your young miss?”

“Young Master Lin, our young miss is in her room. Do you need me to take you there?”

Lin Qiyuan shook his head and left on his own. He was already familiar with the Xu Clan, so there was no need for servants to bring her along. Lin Qiyuan arrived at An Zixi’s room with ease, only to discover that the door to An Zixi’s room was unrelated, and An Zixi was sitting on the bed with a photo album in his arms.

Lin Qiyuan knocked on the door and walked in, “Zixi, what are you looking at? What kind of photos are you so touched by?” An Zixi did not expect Lin Qiyuan to arrive so early. He quickly wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said, “It’s fine. I just saw a lot of photos of my parents in the past and feel that they are really much older.”

Although Lin Qiyuan had been to the Xu Mansion many times, this was the first time he had entered An Zixi’s room. His grandson couldn’t help but glance around and discover that the room Elder Xu and Madam Xu had prepared for An Zixi was really good. He knew that Elder Xu and Madam Xu really cared about An Zixi.

Lin Qiyuan then walked to An Zixi’s side and sat down. “Zixi, Elder Xu and Madam Xu are really attentive to you. In the future, you will definitely feel a warm feeling of kinship. Isn’t this really what you’ve been looking forward to when you were young? Now that it’s come true, don’t be sad in the future, understand?”

An Zixi nodded heavily and threw herself into Lin Qiyuan’s arms. Now, she was really touched and wanted to find a hug to cry for.
