Chapter 645 - 628: Lantern Festival
Even though she was pregnant with his child, even though she had moved into the apartment to live with him under the same roof, Lin Yixun’s attitude towards him remained cold.She was someone who distinguishes love and hate clearly. When in love, she could disregard everything and give you her whole heart. However, once she stopped loving, no matter what you did, you couldn’t win her heart back. Leng Yixiu knew this better than anyone.
With a bitter tug at the corner of his lips, Leng Yixiu realized she had already returned to his side. What more could he ask for? A person shouldn’t be too greedy.
After enduring the first three months, Lin Yixun’s morning sickness finally improved a bit. Her appetite also got better compared to the first three months. Over the course of a month, she had gained a bit of weight and her spirits lifted considerably.
Seeing Lin Yixun in good spirits, Leng Yixiu finally managed to relax. As a result, the oppressive atmosphere in the president’s office lifted, and all the company employees rejoiced at their boss’s good mood.
That day, Leng Yixiu saw the secretaries gathered in a bunch, with bright smiles and excited expressions, seemingly discussing something amusing. He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
Assistant Chen thought the boss had stopped because he saw the secretaries slacking off, and hurried over to reprimand them, but was stopped by Leng Yixiu, who opened his thin lips and asked in a deep voice, "What are they all discussing?"
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I’ve heard there’s going to be a lantern festival at the nearby Yujing Garden. I suppose that’s what they’re discussing. President Leng, you know how these women love food, fashion, and entertainment. Don’t mind them too much."
"A lantern festival?" The man narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Seeing the man’s expression, Assistant Chen guessed he might be interested in the lantern festival and smiled, "Yes, I heard this year’s lantern festival will be particularly grand. The city has invested a lot of money to make it happen. Spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with family, enjoying the lanterns and the moon, sounds wonderful."
Assistant Chen’s guess was spot on. The boss was indeed interested in the lantern festival. Having worked by his side for years, he knew that Leng Yixiu wasn’t one to enjoy such events himself. His interest in the lantern festival was mainly to please his future wife.
...
For others, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a joyful day for family reunions. But for Lin Yixun, this day magnified the deep-seated pain hidden in her heart.
Early in the morning, Lin Yixun took Xiao Yi Xun to the cemetery. Pregnant and with the cemetery located on a hill, Leng Yixiu wanted to tell her not to go, but realized he had no right to stop her.
The death of her parents had something to do with him. He feared that persuading Lin Yixun not to go would only amplify her hatred towards him, so he chose to remain silent.
Her parents’ death was her untouchable scar, and so Leng Yixiu asked Old He to take the mother and daughter to the cemetery. He didn’t accompany them. Due to past grievances of the older generation, Leng Yixiu had never taken Xiao Yi Xun to the cemetery over the years. He thought it was good for Lin Yixun to take her and pay her respects.
The child had grown big enough to remember things. It was time she saw the two elderly people.
Leng Yixiu knew Lin Yixun too well. This day would indeed be a somber day for her. While others spent the day moon-gazing and enjoying family harmony, she could only take her child to see two cold headstones.
