"If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check to see if I had a child with me when I was in country M, and if I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau two days ago."

"But you don't have a wedding ring on your hand." Xi Shixiu gritted his molars, and after a while he came up with a point of rebuttal, and said hoarsely, "Your finger is empty."

"We are married in secret." Bai Chuxiao let out a long breath, and took out the excuse he had made up a long time ago, "His and I have special identities, so we agreed in the morning not to wear a ring."

"..."

Xi Shixiu was speechless for a moment.

He very much hoped that what Bai Chuxiao said was a lie, but Bai Chuxiao's words were convincing, and he asked him to investigate to prove that it was true.

He didn't expect that Bai Chuxiao's words were mixed with truth and falsehood. He only felt that Bai Chuxiao's voice was far away, and everything in front of him seemed to become unreal.

Bai Chuxiao on the other end was still trying to persuade him, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it.

"If you still don't believe me, I can show you a photo of me and my child from five years ago..."

"enough!"

Xi Shixiu didn't want to hear what Bai Chuxiao said anymore, so he interrupted with a low growl. It was the first time Bai Chuxiao saw such an out-of-control Xi Shixiu, so he pursed his lips tightly.

"Brother Shixiu, what I said is true."

"You...really gave birth to a child for that man?" Xi Shixiu shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You were alone, and you chose to give birth to a child and raise it alone because of him?"

With a trembling voice, Xi Shixiu asked with great difficulty: "...do you love him?"

Bai Chuxiao raised her head and forced herself to look into Xi Shixiu's eyes, looking at the broken spots of light inside, and let those pieces cut her heart.

She lied without changing her face: "Yes, I love him very much, and I am willing to do anything for him."

"what about me?"

Xi Shixiu twitched the corner of his mouth: "What am I, what is our past?"

Bai Chuxiao stared at him for a while, but finally couldn't bear to look again, lowered her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."

The scene fell into a long silence, neither of them spoke, Xi Shixiu's face was pale, as if he would fall down if the wind blows.

Suddenly, Xi Shixiu smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to say sorry to me."

"It's my fault. You've been rejecting me all the time, but I..." He paused and smiled wryly, "I thought I still had a chance."

Bai Chuxiao heard that Xinxiang City was being ground in a meat grinder, and he didn't dare to lift his head. Tears welled up, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry."

This is the only man she has ever liked since she was a child, and he is also the best man she has ever met, and her favorite man.

She actually hurt him like this today!

Bai Chuxiao felt deeply disgusted with herself in her heart.

How can someone like her be worthy of him?

"It's not that serious, you dare not look at what I do, raise your head up."

Xi Shixiu's tone became lighter, and Bai Chuxiao raised his head hesitantly, and saw that his face had returned to normal, but it was still a little pale.

"Why are you crying?" Xi Shixiu chuckled, and took out the veil on his chest to wipe her tears, "In relationships, this is a normal thing, you don't have to feel guilty like this, just smile."

He didn't like to see her cry.

His girl's tears were more precious than diamonds, and he couldn't bear to let them fall.

Bai Chuxiao twitched the corners of her mouth as she said, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I only have one last question." Xi Shixiu withdrew his handkerchief, and said hesitantly, "Is...is he treating you well?"

Bai Chuxiao almost burst into tears.

Why?

She went too far and hurt him like this, why would he still care about whether her husband treats her well?

Bai Chuxiao would rather that Xi Shixiu would be furious, and that he would scold her and beat her, so that she would feel better.

However, she knew in her heart that this was simply impossible.

Xi Shixiu would never do such a thing, which is why she likes her.

It was precisely because of this that this scene made her even more sad.

Bai Chuxiao resisted the tears welling up in her eyes, as if remembering something, she smiled happily: "Well, he treats me very well."

"Really?" Xi Shixiu felt tens of thousands of needles pricking his heart, but he endured it and said in a hoarse voice, "Then...that's fine."

In this way, he can rest assured.

"I remembered that there was something else to do in the company, so I left first." Xi Shixiu propped up the table and got up, with a relaxed tone, "If you have time, take your family to have dinner with me? I am your natal family after all, right? "

Bai Chuxiao didn't speak, but nodded silently.

"I am leaving."

Xi Shixiu finally gave Bai Chuxiao a smile, and then left the restaurant with steady steps.

As soon as he left, Bai Chuxiao could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and the tears fell like beads.

Outside the restaurant.

Xi Shixiu returned to the car calmly, put his hand on the car key, and did not start it for a long time.

After a while, he couldn't bear the pain that surged in his heart anymore, and he punched the steering wheel, and the horn that was pressed made a piercing sound, which startled the birds on the side of the road.

Five years, unexpectedly, he was five full years late!

Xi Shixiu's mind was filled with Bai Chuxiao's happy expression when he mentioned her husband, but he felt that his limbs were as cold as if being blown by a cold wind.

Next to it, on the seat where Bai Chuxiao had just sat, there was quietly the gift he brought back for Bai Chuxiao.

Xi Shixiu looked at the bag with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

She didn't even glance at it.

Reaching out to take the bag over, there is a black velvet box inside.

Open it, there is a simple necklace inside, with a blue gemstone hanging on it, as deep as the sea.

This necklace is called Angel's Tears, which he found by chance at an auction.

Legend has it that there was once an angel who fell in love with a woman in the world at first sight, and has been silently guarding her in secret.

One day, the woman found out, and after they met, they fell madly in love. In the end, the angel asked himself to cut off his wings in order to be with the woman forever. This determination moved God, and finally he turned the woman into a Angel, the woman wept with joy and shed this tear.

As soon as Xi Shixiu heard this story, he thought it was a good moral. He competed with many people and bought it back at a high price.

Like this angel, he would do anything if he could be with Bai Chuxiao.

But he couldn't bear to take away her happiness.

With a bitter smile, Xi Shixiu closed the box and put it aside.

This necklace is afraid that there will be a day when no one will wear it again.

In the dining room.

Bai Chuxiao lowered her head and cried silently.

Suddenly a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in front of my eyes, and then a familiar voice sneered from above my head: "Everyone is gone, who are you crying here for?"

Bai Chuxiao looked up and saw Jiang Chengyu's face full of displeasure.

"Why are you here?"

"Passing by."
