Novel Bin Chapter 359 - It Was Refreshing
Getting tired of using words, Jie held her hand on the wheelchair’s handle and stopped her. He gave a pull and Xu Mey landed straight on his lap.
"Now, stay here. No rushing around." Jie’s stern voice made her feel upset but realizing where she was seated, she immediately let go of her gloominess.
"Then you can be my ride back." Saying that Xu Mey wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest like a kitten who was looking for its owner’s affection. But who was complaining? Obviously, our Jie was more than happy to become her ride or her *Ahem* owner.
"Ah-Jie," he hummed in reply. "Let’s be the best parents."
Jie smiled down at her and said, "As you wish."
"You know I could have pushed you all the way back to the room," Xu Mey grumbled.
"Yes, I know. My baby is the strongest one. But I don’t want my baby to work at all. So for our little one, let’s take care of your health. Okay?" Xu Mey and not working? That could be the news of the decade. But she couldn’t find a way to argue with Jie as well. He was right. For their little one, she had to be careful.
Just thinking about that little one, her eyes softened up. She would never forget the moment when she heard that heartbeat. It was such a rare feeling. She didn’t just have her own heart beating inside her body anymore. There was a part of Jie and her own heart beating in that little one as well. And just the idea of having a part of Jie growing inside of her was thrilling and fulfilling.
"I’ll do as Ah-Jie says. I promise." Her answer made Jie relax. He knew it wasn’t easy for her to sit back and relax but he also knew that she would do it for the sake of their little one.
"What are you doing here now? When, my daughter, got into that scary accident, where were you then? And now you want to see her?" Xu Mey placed her hand on Jie’s to stop him from moving forward as she heard the voice of her father.
"I didn’t know about the accident. I went to States to settle some business and lost contact with everyone. Also, Xu Mey’s words cut me deep enough that day." Xu Mey heard Xin Qian’s answer and it made her eyes harden up.
"Oh, so your absence can hurt my little girl but her words can’t hurt you? What kind of a mother are you?" Xu Cheng’s voice was scornful and Xu Mey gave a satisfied smile. She was one step away from cheering out loud, ’That’s my father! Way to go!’
"Xu Cheng, don’t forget it was your fault that we separated and I had to leave my daughter behind." Xin Qian’s voice sounded accusing.
"Is that so? Why didn’t I get the memo? Xin Qian, you refused to believe that Fu Lan drugged me. You signed the divorce papers and sent them my way. You took my son without my knowledge. You abandoned my daughter. And now, you are back to accuse me? Have a bit of sense, if I was at fault, you weren’t any better."
"You! How dare you put the blame on me?" Xin Qian’s voice sounded choked up and pitiful but none of the people listening felt any pity. Certainly, Xu Mey didn’t. "It was you who sent the divorce papers. It was you who sent your mistress to inform me that I can keep the son but not our daughter. Also, it was you who made me emotionally unstable back then."
"Now, Ms. Xin Qian mind telling me, my signatures were on the divorce papers when you received them?" Xu Cheng asked with a certain look.
"N-No. But you sent them." Xin Qian’s voice wavered.
"No. You just wanted to believe that I was the one who wanted to break that marriage. But in reality, it was you! I would have never signed those papers if your signatures weren’t there." Xin Qian was stunned to her spot while Xu Cheng continued, "Also, do I look like an idiot to you? Why would I give you permission to take my son away from me? If I knew he existed, I would have taken him from you as you said with your emotional instability, the court would have gladly given me the custody."
Xin Qian’s tears trickled down like a stream. She knew he was right. She wasn’t in the condition to fight back then. But the idea of not even having Xiamu all those years scared her.
She dropped down on her knees and said, "But it was still your mistress that broke us. And you who brought her into our life."
Xu Cheng gave a scornful laugh saying, "Don’t deceive yourself. I used to think that it was indeed I who ruined us. But no. I met a very sensible person who told me that it wasn’t I who brought Fu Lan between us. It was you. I gave her a space in our house, you gave her space between our relationship. You let her hoodwink you. You believed her words rather than believing in me, us or the love which you said you had for me. Our marriage wasn’t just my responsibility. It was ours. And I couldn’t save it all alone while you’re being duped by Fu Lan."
Xu Cheng’s harsh words made Xin Qian stare at him dumbfoundedly. While Xu Mey was having a satisfied look on her face. As if she was really proud of her father. Ah, it was refreshing.
