Chapter 556 - 554 I Really Want to Be Alone
Ji Niandong quickly avoided his gaze, not knowing where to look, finally lowered her head, and stayed silent.
Lu Beichen felt a pang of heartache seeing her like this, "You don’t have to be like this..."
"I know!" She suddenly raised her head and interrupted him, "I know you want to say I don’t have to be like this, that I’m overthinking. You’ve told me many times, Gu Xiyao is not Nian Nian’s mother." Ji Niandong let out a dry laugh twice, "Even though their eyes are exactly the same! I still need to believe she’s not Nian Nian’s mother, it’s me who is being petty, holding onto it and not letting go, even though you told me if I care about Gu Xiyao’s marriage, you won’t get involved. So, it’s me who’s being unreasonable."
She became a bit agitated, Lu Beichen quickly comforted her, "That’s not what I meant."
"I know that’s not what you meant, it’s me who’s being unreasonable." Ji Niandong pressed her lips together, "From the moment I married you, Nian Nian already existed, it’s me who’s too greedy, holding onto Nian Nian’s mother. But..." She couldn’t help but cry, "I know I’m being unreasonable, but I just can’t control it, I’ve always known when to stop, I really have known..."
She cried uncontrollably, Lu Beichen reached out to wipe her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears there were, burning his hands, yet he couldn’t say a word of comfort.
Helplessness, this is probably what Lu Beichen has been feeling the most recently!
"Xiyao really isn’t Nian Nian’s biological mother, once her and Ning Zesheng’s marriage is finalized, she’ll return to France, Tongtong..."
"Can you sleep with Nian Nian tonight? Don’t say you can’t leave me alone at this time, because right now I really just want to be alone."
She cried as she spoke, Lu Beichen was about to say something when she added, "I’m begging you."
Her words were so soft and low, as humble as a fine needle piercing directly into Lu Beichen’s heart.
Watching her in silence for a few seconds, Lu Beichen cupped the back of her head and kissed her forehead, "I’m sorry!"
Then he got up and left, and as he closed the door, Ji Niandong buried her face in her hands and cried out loud.
It should be her saying sorry! Being unreasonable and throwing tantrums, she obviously wasn’t such a person, but, just like she said, she just couldn’t control it, she cared too much, and she just... didn’t want to become like this!
Lu Beichen closed the door, leaned against it, and sighed with his eyes closed, his furrowed brows refusing to relax.
"Dad, did you argue with Sister Tongtong again?"
Lu Beichen opened his eyes to see his son standing in front of him, he was slightly startled, quickly recovered, and replied, "We didn’t argue."
"I heard it all, did Sister Tongtong cry?" Little Bun frowned tightly, glared at him a few times, and asked awkwardly, "Do you need me to help cheer her up?"
Lu Beichen reached out and placed his hand on his head, silent for a few seconds, then said, "Tomorrow, don’t go to see Sister Xiyao, stay home with Sister Tongtong, okay?"
Little Bun’s face froze for an instant, he subconsciously glanced at the door, lowered his head and replied, "Okay."
"Don’t disturb your Sister Tongtong today, go to sleep!" Lu Beichen guided Little Bun’s head towards his room.
