Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 614: The CEO’s Pursuit Turns into a Crematory of Heartbreak
"I didn’t want to argue in front of Yanyan," Shangxue quietly explained.
"If you don’t want to, then control yourself," said Ningwan.
Shangxue paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Actually, it’s not too difficult. I’ll be leaving soon. We won’t have any more chances to argue in the future."
Ningwan: "..."
"Did you know about Shangxue leaving?"
Ningwan went to find Xie Mingyu and saw him sitting in the room sulking with his son in his arms. She asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Actually, there was no need to ask. From his expression, it was clear he knew.
Sure enough, Xie Mingyu said with a somber face, "Yes, it’s really too much, completely ungrateful. Leaving just like that, so heartless."
Ningwan glanced at Yanyan who was curled up in Xie Mingyu’s arms, sighed with pity.
These two, completely disregarded their son’s feelings.
"Yanyan, why don’t you go play? Auntie wants to talk with your dad," Ningwan said to Yanyan.
Yanyan nodded, obediently allowing the servant to take him away.
Ningwan lamented, "Such an obedient and sensible child, such a good child, how come you two don’t know to cherish him?"
"How do I not cherish him? I do cherish him. You have no idea how many times I’ve apologized to her. I said I knew I was wrong, I even confessed to her. In my entire life, I’ve never said such soft words. Not even to my grandfather have I humbled myself so much. But to her, I’ve shown all the vulnerability of my life, yet she remains unmoved and still wants to leave with that man. What do you want me to do?"
"So you’re angry and planning to give up on this relationship?" Ningwan asked.
Xie Mingyu exclaimed, "How could I possibly give up? I won’t give up."
Ningwan smirked, "So you won’t give up, then stop complaining about how wronged you feel. Even if you feel wronged, it was your choice. Just like how Shangxue used to be with you, wasn’t it the same? She poured out all her sincerity in front of you, hoping you’d look at her just once more. But you? Always so proud, trampling her sincerity underfoot. Now that the tables have turned, what do you have to feel wronged about?"
"Whose side are you on anyway? Mine or hers?" Xie Mingyu asked angrily.
Ningwan smiled, "I’m not on your side, nor on hers. I’m just telling the truth." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Xie Mingyu frowned, "Then what do you suggest we do about this?"
"What can you do? Do you want her to leave?" Ningwan asked.
Xie Mingyu said, "Of course not."
Ningwan said, "If you don’t want her to leave, then find a way to keep her."
"How do I keep her?" Xie Mingyu asked.
Ningwan smirked and beckoned him over with her finger.
Half an hour later, Shangxue had already packed and was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she naturally wanted to see Yanyan one more time.
So she went over to find Yanyan, and seeing the servant playing with Yanyan, she frowned.
"Where is Mr. Xie?" Shangxue asked.
The servant replied, "Sir is in the room; Madam Zhan is taking his pulse."
"Taking his pulse? Isn’t he recovered? Why does he still need his pulse taken?"
"We don’t know about that, not even the old master knows. It’s between Madam Zhan and sir," the servant replied.
Shangxue didn’t think much more of it, and played with Yanyan for a while longer, talking to him.
She just told him to listen to his dad, be good, and had him recite her phone number once again.
"Mommy has something to do and has to leave. If you miss mommy, you can call her."
"Mommy, are you not wanting Yanyan anymore?" Yanyan asked, eyes wide and innocent.
Shangxue’s heart ached, she hugged him tight, "Of course not. How could mommy not want Yanyan? Yanyan will always be mommy’s good baby. It’s just that mommy has things to do and needs to leave. Once mommy is done, she’ll come see Yanyan."
She thought she would never deceive her own son, but life has so many things beyond control.
One day, she too became someone she didn’t like, using lies to deceive Yanyan.
"Mommy, Yanyan will miss you," Yanyan reached out with his short arms to hug her neck.
Shangxue lowered her head and kissed her son’s little face.
After saying goodbye to her son, she originally didn’t want to say goodbye to Xie Mingyu, but then thought, since Yanyan would be living with him in the future, it might be better to greet him formally.
As the saying goes, better too courteous than not.
No one knew Xie Mingyu’s room better than her, so she quickly arrived at the door of his room.
Standing at the door, she was just about to knock.
But then heard the sound of conversation inside.
"So you really don’t plan on telling anyone?" Ningwan said.
Xie Mingyu smiled bitterly, "Tell them what? It would only make more people worry. Not even you can help, what could they do? Grandfather has already worried for me most of his life, and now at his age, should I really make him run around for me? Moreover, running around would be pointless. If even you can’t do it, who else is there to turn to?"
"But if he knew..."
"Didn’t you say I’d pass after him? Since that’s the case, he won’t know. He thinks he cured me, will leave this world happy and peacefully. When he sees me on that side later, I’ll naturally explain to him, so he won’t feel he let down my parents. After all, I should have been dead a long time ago. If it weren’t for meeting such a grandfather, I might have died long ago."
"What about the Xie family then?" Ningwan said.
Xie Mingyu was silent for a while before saying, "I used to think that besides grandfather, I had no other ties, that other relatives had their own families, and to them, I was both a relative and a burden. But until I knew there was a Yanyan in this world, my view changed. I realized I have a son, still have close family. The only regret is not being able to watch him grow up! But rest assured, I’ll arrange everything for him. It’s just a pity he won’t have a father or a mother to look after him, so I’ll trouble you to check on him often. If worse comes to worst, let him be your son-in-law."
"Forget it, I don’t want to influence the kids’ marriages, no arranged marriages," Ningwan was averse to arranged marriages.
"Then I’d trouble you to look after him, you simply must do it. Otherwise, even as a ghost, I won’t forgive you," Xie Mingyu said with a smile.
Ningwan was speechless, "What kind of person are you? I cured you, I’m looking after your child, and yet you’re threatening me? But you really won’t tell Shangxue about this? Maybe if you told her, she would stay to take care of Yanyan, having his own birth mother is always better."
"Of course I know having a birth mother to look after is good, but... I’ve already wronged her, and she wants to leave me. Why should I tether her, entangle her with someone like me? If she wants to go, let her. This is the last thing I can do for her."
