Hearing this, Meng Qingxia's face immediately became extremely ugly, as she said coldly.

"Aunt, what is perfunctory?" Yi Yi looked up and asked.

Yiyi tilted her head and thought for a while.

Just as Yi Yi finished her sentence, she heard a cold voice.

"Yiyi."

Tang Hongbo slowly walked down the stairs with his hands in the pockets of his clothes.

"Uncle." Yi Yi shouted sweetly.

Tang Hongbo walked to the front of Yi Yi and squatted down, then extended his arms to hug her.

"Yiyi, how many times has Uncle said it? What are you going to call her?" Tang Hongbo said as he looked at Duan Wenyu.

Yi Yi lowered her head and whispered.

"Auntie."

"Do you remember the next time?"

Yi Yi nodded obediently.

"This aunt is not someone who can be appointed as she pleases, right? Designer Duan? " Meng Qingxia said sarcastically, and then let out a cold laugh.

"Yes, but a child is poor without a father." Duan Wenyu retaliated.

Meng Qingxia didn't want to hear any mention of Yi Yi's father the most, yet, Duan Wenyu had touched her bottom line time and time again. Her expression changed, and just as she was about to raise her hand and slap Duan Wenyu on the face, she was interrupted by Tang Yi who was turning her head around, hugging her father.

"Qingxia, what are you doing? Why are you getting older and braver, who taught you to make a move in front of me?" Tang Hongbo said coldly.

Meng Qingxia felt wronged.

"Cousin, you're still protecting her even now. Do you really believe that she has nothing to do with Sister Wenzhuo's departure?" But when he finished speaking, he saw Tang Hongbo's expression and immediately regretted it.

He only saw Tang Hongbo put Yi Yi down, then walk in front of her, with a terrifying look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill her. Meng Qingxia retreated two steps, and said with a trembling voice.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to say it, it's all Duan Wenyu, she …" Meng Qingxia had not finished speaking when Tang Hongbo interrupted him.

"Did I say not to mention her again? If you can't remember, I don't mind remembering it for you. Tang Hongbo coldly said.

"Forget it Hongbo, this is my fault, don't blame Qingxia." Duan Wenyu advised.

"Who asked you to be so kind." Meng Qingxia said fiercely.

"Meng Qingxia, you must make some noise on your daughter's birthday, right?" Tang Hongbo coldly said.

Having been mentioned by Tang Hongbo, Meng Qingxia instantly woke up, and remembered that today was Yi Yi's birthday.

She felt herself crouch down to comfort her daughter, who was at a loss.

"Yiyi, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Mom was late, and I'm still ignoring you. I'm really sorry." After Meng Qingxia finished speaking, she extended her arms and hugged Yi Yi.

Yi Yi asked with a puzzled expression.

"Mom, are you arguing with your uncle?"

Hearing this, Meng Xia Xia didn't know how to respond.

"No, why would my uncle and mother quarrel? Yi Yi was wrong, uncle and mother were discussing problems. " Tang Hongbo suddenly said.

Yi Yi nodded.

Yi Yi didn't know what had happened to them at her age, so she quickly forgot about it and happily celebrated her birthday. However, the three adults had their own thoughts.

Her identity was just his ex-girlfriend, one that had existed for many years. No matter how much he tried to build a relationship with her, he couldn't deny that she was his sister-in-law. But for Tang Hongbo's sake, she had never cared about these things.

In her heart, these things were nothing compared to Tang Hongbo. Even if she shamelessly lived in the Tang Family, it would be fine.

But even so, in all these years, he had never received the slightest bit of gentleness from Tang Hongbo.

Rong Xuan said that she was being stubborn, so she would probably live her entire life thinking about it. She tried to think of ways to get rid of her opponent, but she was still jealous of a dead person.

Love can really make people crazy, especially if they can't get their love, it can make them crazy.

But so what? Because she wasn't afraid at all. He wouldn't fall in love with her, but from now on, he wouldn't fall in love with anyone else. A dead person wouldn't come back.

All these years, with her by his side and him not driving her away, it was enough to prove that he treated her differently from other women. At least he allowed her to stay by his side.

But this wasn't what she really wanted. She couldn't struggle against a dead person, but she could recreate memories that belonged to two people.

At night, the snowstorm suddenly stopped. The study was heated up and the ground was warm, so it wasn't too cold. Bright light illuminated the entire bedroom as she laid prone on the floor, playing with the birthday present she had received.

He looked at Yi Yi and thought about his own child who had not been born yet. In his heart, he was unwilling to believe that she would elope with Rong Xuan no matter what.

But after that, when he went to find Rong Xuan, he could not find his at all, and it was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

However, he was still unwilling to believe what had happened. However, things had changed a bit because he had been sending people to watch over the Rong family all these years. There had finally been some news recently.

The man he sent saw Rong Xuan.

If he had finally appeared, did that mean that she had also returned? No matter what, he had to find out. Many nights, when he lay awake in bed, he would always ask himself why he had to find her.

So what if he found her? So what if she came back?

It was nothing more than a divorce. However, when he thought of divorce, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. However, there was no news of her, and she didn't know the meaning of death. Was there any difference between that and a divorce?

Perhaps it was his obsession, he admitted. He still loved her, but he also hated her.

He hated her for leaving without saying goodbye. He hated her for running away with other men. He hated her for giving up their child so ruthlessly. After all these years, he had imprisoned himself in the prison of pain that he had set for himself.

If others couldn't enter, he wouldn't be able to leave.

This was his punishment. He didn't blame or hate her so much as he blamed and hated himself. He hated himself more because he regretted the days when he had quarreled with her and tortured her all the time.

He hated himself for not protecting her properly, and he also hated himself for not finding out so late that he had fallen in love with her. He had not given her enough security, and perhaps that was the real reason she wanted to escape.

He knew that he had not done well enough, that he had not been perfect enough, but would the heavens really not give him the chance to make up for it?

With regards to Duan Wenyu, ever since she had left, he would always think of her whenever he saw her, but the real reason he did not chase her away was because she definitely did not want him to kick her out.

He hoped that Duan Wenyu would understand.

"Uncle, Yi Yi is tired. Yi wants to sleep." The little girl who was playing with toys beside Tang Hongbo said in a soft and sticky voice.

Tang Hongbo, who had his memories broken, looked down at Yi Yi, who was only at his lower leg.

He reached out his hand and put Yiyi on his lap.

"Then will Uncle sleep with you in his arms?" Tang Hongbo said softly.

"Alright." Yi Yi happily agreed, then she buried her head in his chest.

"You can act like a spoiled child." Tang Hongbo said lovingly.

Yiyi fell into a deep sleep in his embrace. Meng Qingxia, who had been standing outside the study room all this time, suddenly felt a little sad. She couldn't help but blush, she had not cried for many years.

But when she saw the current Tang Hongbo, she couldn't help herself. After so many years, he would often be in a daze like this.

He looked at Yi Yi's eyes with a deep doting expression. She also knew that he was thinking of her unborn child, after all these years, there were many women who wanted to become Mrs. Tang's successor. Some of the women had been scared away by Duan Wenyu, while some had been directly blacklisted by Tang Hongbo.

He didn't come into contact with any woman. His father, who was also her uncle, was so angry that he was hospitalized several times. However, his determination never wavered.

Then she let him go.

Other than himself, no one who knew about her had dared to mention her on their own accord. It was as if they had forgotten about her, as if she was not there. However, everyone knew that he had never forgotten and remembered her more clearly than anyone else.

While he was hurting himself, he was also tormenting those around him who cared about him.

She pushed the door open.

"Cousin." She let out a soft cry.

Tang Hongbo looked at her and said indifferently.

"Yiyi, you're asleep. Carry her back."

"Alright." However, he didn't reach out to hug Yi Yi.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? " Tang Hongbo asked.

Meng Qingxia thought for a while before replying.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said something like that at night to make you angry." Meng Qingxia sincerely wanted to apologize.

"Forget it, I am just deceiving myself." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.

"No, cousin. I believe she still has some attachment to this place. She will definitely come back." Meng Qingxia summoned up her courage and said.

But Tang Hongbo actually did not get angry, and instead said indifferently.

"Is that so? "Maybe."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Cousin, thank you for loving Yiyi so much." Meng Qingxia said with a smile.

Tang Hongbo said as he looked at Yi Yi, who was fast asleep in his arms.

"Even if I love her dearly, I can't take the place of her missing fatherly love. Isn't she also at the age when she needs fatherly love?" Tang Hongbo said as if he was pointing something.
