Chapter 116: Chapter 116 His Deep Affection_1

"No need for the cab fare... cough, it’s, it’s all fine." Xia Jiehao had no intention of taking the cab fare, but he knew that if he didn’t charge, Lanzi would definitely refuse to ride with him again. He had no choice but to agree, his thin lips trembling with excitement.

Lanzi agreed to take his car!

He couldn’t handle it; he was so excited he was about to faint!

Someone come support him!

After a faint "hmm" from Mrs. Xia, she fell silent again.

Seeing that they had come to an agreement, the Lin Family exchanged glances with one another, before surreptitiously giving Ningxing a thumbs up. If it hadn’t been for her, with Mrs. Xia’s stubborn nature, she might never have agreed.

After dinner, Xia Jiehao rubbed his hands and touched the back of his head, looking at Mrs. Xia with a nervous expression like a young boy and stammering, "Um, Lan, Lanzi, could I have a word with you alone?"

"As it happens, I have something to say to you too." This time, Mrs. Xia didn’t refuse him and stood up to walk outside.

She had originally planned to have her mother relay the message, but now she determined to handle the matter herself.

Xia Jiehao quickly followed her out.

Outside, Xia Jiehao took a deep breath and said, "Lanzi, even after all these years, I still haven’t forgotten you. I still like you. I truly hope you can give me a chance to take care of you and the children. I will treat them as my own."

In the old courtyard, snowflakes danced through the air.

The tall and imposing man was blushing, his gaze fixed intently on the woman opposite him.

His tone was sincere and firm but tinged with nervousness.

Even though she knew what he would say, Mrs. Xia still trembled upon hearing it; she didn’t know why, but her nose suddenly felt sour, and tears kept swirling in her eyes.

This man, who had once wasted his life away, still thought of her after becoming a successful businessman.

She couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment: touched, astonished, ashamed, and perhaps even a flutter of heartbeats.

"Lanzi, do you know? My biggest regret in life is that I didn’t stop your wedding to Xia Jianren!"

"The girl I held so delicately in my palm for fear of her breaking, who I cherished in my mouth for fear of her melting, who I carried in my pocket for fear of losing her—how is it that she became worthless in someone else’s hands!"

Xia Jiehao clenched his fists, wishing he could beat up Xia Jianren in prison again. His eyes reddened involuntarily under the bright moonlight, shimmering with moisture.

"Don’t say anymore!" Mrs. Xia’s voice trembled as she finally lost control of her emotions and turned away, wiping her tears.

She took a deep breath, looked up at the endless sky, and said word for word, "Xia Jiehao, I am truly sorry. You deserve a better woman. Please, don’t get involved in this mess with me."

He couldn’t help but take a step forward, grabbing her shoulders, "Lanzi, how could you be a mess? You have always been pure and unsullied in my heart."

Hearing his words, Mrs. Xia clutched the hem of her clothes, her head bowed, her beautiful almond eyes sparkling with crystalline tears.

"If you really care about that, then fine, I’ll go buy a woman with money tomorrow and get married, and then get divorced immediately afterward. That way I’ll be divorced too, I’ll be ’muddy water’ as well, and then we’ll be the same!" Xia Jiehao stepped forward, his tone utterly devoid of jest.

Mrs. Xia was stunned.

Who would wish for a divorced status?

Her tear-filled eyes widened in disbelief, her voice trembling with incredulity, "What are you talking about, you rascal? Wouldn’t that be ruining yourself?"
