The little girl was a little afraid of ariseing, so she hid behind Chu Lianxin and looked at Xu Lai secretly.

"Pity, thank you for your hard work over the years."

Xu Lai took the pockets from Chu Lianxin's hand and looked at her affectionately, "I'm back and I won't leave you again. I will be with you forever."

"You, are you my dad?"

Chu Lianxin's eyes were blurred and she didn't say a word. She turned her head a little a little, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions.

Seeing this, Xu Xinyuan, who was hiding behind, mustered up the courage to ask, and looked at Xu Lai with a gaze: "Did you save me today?"

"Yes, today I saved you, I, I..." I was your father stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say it.

Xu Lai looked at Chu Lianxin.

"Get in first."

Chu Lianxin did not admit it or deny it. She hurriedly passed by Xu Lai, opened the door and let Xu Laihe follow behind, and the timid Xu Xinyuan went in.

The little girl's eyes were very wonderful, both curious and excited, and also had the little girl's shyness and longing.

Their living area is not big, only more than fifty square meters, and they are apartments, and there are only some household appliances and furniture in the room.

Although Chu Lianxin opened a company, her life was still very difficult.

Looking at Chu Lianxin, who was busy entering the kitchen after returning home, Xu Lai kept sighing in his heart that she had suffered too much in the past seven years and had suffered no less than his.

Pity, child! I'm back now, so I will never let you suffer any grievances or hurts! A silent guilt surged into my heart, and Xu Lai secretly swore in his heart, with a sure look on his face.

"This is what I drew, I'll show you."

The little girl handed a portrait to Xu Lai in a squeamish manner. Her face turned red and she looked down and didn't dare to look at Xu Lai. However, in her eyes that were raised in panic, she was shy and expectant.

Xu Lai quickly took it, put it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately showed a bright smile.

The portrait shows a family of three sitting together for dinner.

Although the little girl is young, she has a very talented painting experience. She draws herself and her mother in a very good manner and has a lot of spirituality.

But because he had no template, he drew a back and sat together for dinner.

The little girl smiled innocently, and Chu Lianxin also had a soft smile on her face, and only with her back, he leaned forward slightly to pick up food for her.

Looking at this portrait, Xu Lai's mind trembled slightly, his eyes turned red, and almost burst into tears.

The little girl actually just wanted him to have a meal with them.

But in the past seven years, I can't even give her such a simple companion... "It's so good to draw, so good..." Xu Lai was moved, his fingers kept sliding across the grease paper, and he felt more determined in his heart that his decision to come back now was correct! No matter how beautiful the river was, how could he resist the little bit of his daughter's concern?

"Give it--" Xu Xinyuan put his feet on his feet, holding a tissue hard, trying to wipe Xu Lai's wet corners of his eyes, but after several attempts, he smiled embarrassedly, and his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

Xu Lai could no longer suppress it. He hugged Xu Xinyuan tightly, wishing to rub her into his arms, his face pressed against her little head, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, dad is a bad guy. I left you for so many years, and Xiaoxiao and mother are wronged."

"Dad, you are already very happy to be back. Xiaoxiao is not wronged, but it is my mother who is wronged."

Xu Xinyuan held Xu Lai tightly with his little hands, and no longer had the timidity he had just now. He kept calling him dad in his ear. His little face was flushed with excitement, but he was afraid that he would be heard by his mother in the kitchen.

The shyness of a little girl is undoubtedly revealed.

Xu Lai wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes and smiled.

After dinner, Xu Lai took the initiative to help clean up, but Chu Lianxin did not refuse and asked him to wash the dishes, while she cleaned.

Looking at Xu Lai's side face who was washing dishes carefully, Chu Lianxin's eyes were dazed.

Seven years have passed.

She changed, and so did he.

Seven years ago, he showed his sharpness and was inconsistent. He could feel the sharpness emitted by his body when standing in the distance.

Now, he seems to have been smoothed out by the years and no longer stand out. On the contrary, he is calm and old-fashioned, and his eyes seem to be full of vicissitudes of life.

He must have had a hard time in the past few years.

Not knowing what happened, looking at Xu Lai's tough face, Chu Lian felt a sense of distress, and his resentment towards him also decreased a lot without realizing it.

Soon, Xu Lai packed up the tableware, and Chu Lianxin quickly looked away so that he would not see anything strange, and frowned: "Today is the child's birthday."

Outside, Xu Xinyuan brought the birthday star crown and was excitedly fiddling with the cake, looking impatient.

Xu Lai focused on it, "I prepared a small gift for the child."

"That's good."

Chu Lianxin turned around and walked out, and Xu Lai followed closely behind.

"Come here quickly."

Outside, Xu Xinyuan had already opened the cake and lit six candles on it. The lights in the room were turned off, and only the faint candlelight was left to release heat, illuminating the family of three around the cake.

The little girl clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest to make a wish very seriously.

The next mouthful of the candlelight was blown out, and the lights in the room were turned on. While Xu Xinyuan opened his eyes, a jade pendant appeared in front of Xu Xinyuan.

"Wow, what is this?"

Jade is transparent throughout the body and jade cannot find any flaws.

At the same time, the word "peace" is engraved, representing a very high blessing.

Xu Lai smiled and gently put it on his neck for Xu Xinyuan, and said softly: "This is the peace jade I specially asked for you. The Taoist priest on Wudang Mountain can bring good luck to Xiaoxiao, and also protect Xiaoxiao, without illness or disaster in his life."

"It's so comfortable."

After putting on the jade, Xu Xinyuan made a very joyful sound. He felt a warm current flowing out of the jade pendant, wrapping her up, feeling so comfortable that she wanted to scream out.

"That Xiaoxiao must be kept wearing it all the time, don't take it off easily, do you know?"

Xu Lai smiled.

"Yeah, I've written it down, thank you dad for your gift!"

Xu Xinyuan nodded vigorously! "Divid the cake quickly."

After seeing Xu Laizhen giving gifts to the child, Chu Lianxin's expression improved a lot, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Xu Xinyuan took Chu Lianxin's hand and cut the cake together, pushing the largest and most fruits to Xu Lai, touching his round belly and smiling: "I was too full just now, but my mother said that I should not waste it, so dad should eat more."

Xu Lai was amused by her little scoundrel appearance.

She is the one who wants to eat the cake, and she is the one who is most interested.

As a result, I ate a little bit by myself and insisted on watching Xu Lai eat all the rest before I could stop.

Xu Xinyuan was overwhelmed with food and ran to the room to lie down. Chu Lianxin also packed up the cake gift box, and the only two of them were left in the living room.

"Pity..." Xu Lai took out a gift box from his arms, and a dazzling ring lay in the gift box.

Chu Lian's heart felt as if he was fixed, and his pupils dilated.

Xu Lai went to grab her hand. Her hands were very stiff, and she kept pressing against her trouser legs, staring at Xu Lai with both eyes.

"I owe you a ceremony, an explanation, a wedding, and a lot of owes you. I owe you too much. Can I repay it little by little? "

Xu Lai grabbed her stiff hand and slowly put the ring on her.

But in the end, Chu Lianxin took her hand back, moved her head away, and her eyes lowered.

The lights are slightly warm and the time is peaceful, and only the ticking wall clock is still rotating stubbornly.

Xu looked at Chu Lianxin, who was bowing his head.

Her expression was very calm, but this calmness revealed an incomparable stubbornness.

But the eyelashes as thin as cicada's wings trembled uneasyly, revealing the slightest peace of mind.

Xu Lai felt heartbroken and wanted to embrace her in his arms, feeling very pity.

She is so insecure.

But he can't.

"I'll go wash up."

Chu Lianxin gently passed by Xu Lai.

Xu Lai turned sideways slightly, watched her back walking towards the bathroom, and slowly put the ring into the gift box.

One day, I will wear it for you with my own hands.
