Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093 Walked Through
"Isn’t it because I happened to encounter such a thing that I wonder if you were in this situation? If your biological father wasn’t that detestable Shang Feng, could you accept your biological father?"
An Zhiyuan pretended to be nonchalant, fearing that his slightly careless words might trigger Bai Xiao’s sensitivity; his little wife was too clever.
She might start getting suspicious at any moment.
"You said it yourself, it’s hypothetical. I think it’s unlikely. My birth mother nearly lost her reputation for Shang Feng, cut ties with everyone, how could she have feelings for someone else? Besides, if there really was someone else, wouldn’t my uncle and the others know? If there really was this other man, I’d definitely refuse to acknowledge him.
Back in the village, to hide her pregnancy, my mother suffered so much, endured countless hardships. If there really was such a man, why didn’t he step forward then, marry my mother, and avoid her difficult labor? Why was I left almost an orphan? Even if he had no skills or money, as a man, he should have sheltered his woman from storms.
If he couldn’t do even that, then what right does he have to claim he’s my real father?" Bai Xiao was indifferent. One bastard Shang Feng was enough; if there was another, Bai Xiao would really suspect her mother was blind.
"Maybe he had some unspeakable difficulties?"
"What kind of matters could justify an ’unspeakable difficulty’? They’re already together with a woman, have a child together, what could possibly be an excuse for these ’unspeakable difficulties’? I think these ’unspeakable difficulties’ are just excuses you men use.
I just don’t think there’s anything that can be described as an ’unspeakable difficulty.’
Bai Xiao was unwilling to dwell on this topic.
The viewpoints of men and women are different; she wasn’t looking to argue, but it was hard to swallow this.
"Let me give you an example. What if he was drugged and accidentally had relations with the woman? They weren’t lovers, nor were they familiar, just a chance encounter, didn’t even know each other. Isn’t that a valid reason for an ’unspeakable difficulty’?"
"What’s wrong with you today? Talking in circles about this topic. Let me tell you, your example doesn’t even make sense; it’s just a plotline in dramas, written by bored screenwriters to be so bizarre.
Getting drugged and then involved with a stranger? Then he’s even more deserving of criticism. Even if he was drugged, what about after he sobered up? Didn’t he think of taking responsibility for that woman? Didn’t he consider how that woman’s life would be affected?
Then leaving irresponsibly, that’s selfish, just thinking of himself, protecting himself without considering the woman’s fate."
An Zhiyuan was speechless.
Bai Xiao had blocked every possible response.
"Dear, don’t get worked up. I was just assuming. Some people might really face such a situation, I’m just making conversation." Further talking made Bai Xiao agitated.
He thought to himself that Bai Jingshan shouldn’t be that easy to deal with, wanting to recognize his daughter.
Others might be eager to embrace this father, after all, he’s a billionaire, ranked in the top thirty in Asia! You can’t get on the list without some clout, right?
Recognize this father, coupled with Bai Jingshan’s guilt towards the child, you can imagine what one might gain.
Bai Jingshan’s entire empire might be handed over to win his daughter’s favor.
But that’s just others; Bai Xiao is different, always has been.
His Xiaoxiao is truly someone who knows right from wrong.
Besides, just with his wife’s current wealth, they’re also billionaires!
No shortage of money!
Bai Jingshan really has no advantage facing Bai Xiao.
"An Zhiyuan, why do I feel something’s off with you today, are you hiding something from me?"
Bai Xiao vaguely felt something was amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint what.
An Zhiyuan smiled, pinching Bai Xiao’s tender cheeks, the silky touch made one’s heart ache, "What could I hide from you? I’ll never treat you badly in this life. Whatever harms you, I won’t do, let alone hurt you."
He cared deeply for his wife; Bai Xiao had it tough.
At twenty-three, she lived with the experience and stability of someone sixty-three; it’s difficult.
"I trust you won’t harm me. But later, someone might try to hurt us both. If things don’t look right, we should leave quickly; I’m afraid this meal won’t sit well. By the way, has my big brother contacted you recently? It’s been so long without a call, I’m feeling something’s up." Bai Xiao complained, already forgetting the earlier topic, fully focused on Bai Song’s issue.
An Zhiyuan’s heart tightened, his face turned pale.
God, why bring up this old trouble?
"Maybe big brother is really busy lately, too occupied and forgot. You know when I’m in training, I forget everything too, sometimes field training lasts months. Isn’t that normal?"
God knows if Bai Xiao finds out her big brother’s in trouble, will she not eat him alive?
"Makes sense, but how can he not care about me! That’s not like my big brother! I still feel something’s off! I’ll call him tomorrow to see if something’s wrong." Bai Xiao, reassured by An Zhiyuan’s words, was somewhat calmer.
"You’re worrying too much. Instead of focusing on this, why not care for me a bit more? Ignoring your own man and I’m going to be mad."
Making calls?
Bai Xiao touched his cheek, "How am I not caring for you? We’re together every day, what more do you want?"
Today An Zhiyuan indeed seemed off; the previous topic was one way, and now the brother’s topic as well. An Zhiyuan isn’t usually a petty man, and now he’s acting this way makes one suspicious.
"You said it. These days, you’ve refused to let me hold you while sleeping. Having a wife and yet I have to sleep alone, only you would do that." An Zhiyuan believed he was making the most of the situation.
Unable to find a major event to distract from the topic, he was exasperated with himself for being so obstinate.
"An Zhiyuan, we just drove past the alley entrance."
Bai Xiao pointed at the road sign by the side.
They passed by the entrance without going in.
An Zhiyuan was embarrassed.
A sudden brake, then a turnaround, they drove back and into the alley, stopping in front of the Yu Family’s house.
They both got out of the car.
An Zhiyuan’s ears were a bit red.
This blunder had completely embarrassed him.
Really can’t do wrong without a guilty conscience.
