Silence fell in the box.
Zheng Pianying has never been a person who is good at actively looking for topics. Although she had drafted countless times before deciding to meet Zhou Yi, she was still a little speechless when she sat across from him.
After a few minutes of adjustment, Zheng Pianqing spoke: "Have you seen the things in the hospital?"
Zhou Yi's eyes staring at her became much more complicated than before, "Yes."
Zheng Pianqing: "I hope you won't appear in Sansan's life again."
She changed the subject and told him her purpose bluntly.
Zhou Yi guessed Zheng Pianqing's purpose of looking for him, and was not surprised when he heard this request, but his answer was equally certain: "She is also my daughter, and I love her very much."
Zheng Pianqing seemed to have heard something incredible. There was a flash of shock on her face, and then there was ridicule.
Zhou Yi saw it clearly: "You don't believe that I love her."
Zheng Pianqing: "Should I believe it?"
She raised the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating tone, "I don't even dare to say that I love her very much. You have lived with her for a few days. It's really ridiculous to say such a thing."
After listening to the first half of her sentence, Zhou Yi pursed his lips into a straight line, and what San San said flashed through his mind.
"Why haven't you been with her?" he asked.
Zhou Yi's original intention in asking the question was not to blame Zheng Pianqing for not "fulfilling her duties as a mother", nor did he want to use it to stimulate her, but this question happened to touch Zheng Pianqing's skin. As soon as she finished speaking, her face showed a visible expression to the naked eye. The speed gets colder.
Zhou Yi immediately realized the ambiguity in these words and explained to her: "I'm not questioning you, I just want to know your body at that time -"
"I don't need your care, let alone your sympathy." Zheng Pianqing interrupted Zhou Yi indifferently, "The reason I'm not with her is because I never thought about keeping this child in the first place. I saw her I will think of you in my face, and it’s disgusting to think of the days when I was deceived by you.”
Zheng Pianqian's direct statement made Zhou Yi's heart hurt, "Can you tell me why you left in the first place?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Because I'm disgusted by you and Rongyue."
She knew that she couldn't escape this topic today. Zhou Yi had been struggling with it, just to find out the reason. As for what he said about loving Sansan, whoever believed it would believe it - the words that came out of his mouth were not hers. I can't even believe the punctuation marks.
Zhou Yi was speechless.
Zheng Pianqing didn't care what his expression was and continued: "You made a perfunctory promise that I would not meet her again, while at the same time you contacted her privately and continued to let her come in and out of your home. I feel disgusted."
Zhou Yi's eyelids twitched. He didn't know how Zheng Pianqing knew these things. "Why didn't you tell me directly at that time? If you told me, I would-"
"What will happen to you?" Zheng Pianqing thought it was ridiculous, "You will tell me that you have to rely on yourself for a sense of security. You should not place your hopes on the other person, but you must be confident in yourself. You can find thousands of ways to tell me I have brainwashed you, but I will not draw a clear line between you and Rongyue."
Zhou Yi: "..."
He could not refute Zheng Pianqi's words. He even said similar words to his previous girlfriend when she quarreled with him because of Rongyue.
If Zheng Yuemi hadn't said those words to him yesterday, Zhou Yi wouldn't have realized how borderless his relationship with Rongyue was during their relationship - maybe it was because they had known each other for too long and were too familiar. He was so familiar with each other that he would ignore many of the little moves between them, such as Zheng Yuemi's hooking up with each other. He had never paid special attention to it before.
"It's my fault, I'm sorry." Zhou Yi took a deep breath and apologized to Zheng Pianqing, "I should have realized my problem earlier, otherwise you wouldn't-"
"Stop looking for Sansan." Zheng Pianqing didn't want to hear his insignificant apology, so she simply interrupted him, "She lives a happy life and doesn't need you to participate in her life."
"I can promise you anything else, but not this one." Zhou Yi's answer was equally decisive, "She is my child, and it is only natural that I look for her - do you want her to never have a father?"
Zheng Pianqing really hates this sentence.
So what if I don’t have a dad? In the few years without him, didn’t Sansan still come through well? Why is he pretending to be a great father now?
Zheng Pianqing was annoyed by Zhou Yi and was too lazy to argue with him, so she followed his logic: "She won't be without a father forever. I will find a suitable father for her."
As soon as these words came out, the man who lost control of his emotions turned into Zhou Yi.
He clenched his fist tightly, breathing heavily, and held it in for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold back a mocking smile: "You mean Qin Lie?"
Zheng Pianqing: "No one has anything to do with you."
Zhou Yi: "How come it has nothing to do with me? What if he treats my daughter badly?"
Zheng Pianqing: "You don't have to say such hypocritical words."
She exposed him mercilessly: "You don't want children at all, and you don't love Sansan. You are just looking for her to cause trouble for us. What you are upset about is that I dumped you without saying goodbye, and now I I also told you the reason.”
Her meaning was simple. She gave a reason and wanted to completely break up with him.
"Do you think I'm looking for Sansan just to use her to cause trouble for you?" Zhou Yi's face became more and more tense, and his voice was hoarse and forbearing.
Zheng Pianqing didn't answer, but her expression was equivalent to acquiescence.
Zhou Yi laughed at himself, "Pianqing, she is my daughter. No matter how bad I am, I will not use her to spite you."
"Have you never thought about why I bother you?" He asked, staring into her eyes.
Before Zheng Pianqing remembered to answer the call, she heard him say: "Because I can't let you go, don't you understand?"
"I used to think that you are no different to other women to me, but we have been separated for more than six years, and I always think of you. At first, I thought it was my pride, but now I can't convince you with this reason. I'm on my own." Zhou Yi said the next words in one breath, "Pianqing, I love you very much."
Zhou Yi's tone was sincere and his expression was serious, without any of his usual carefree attitude.
But Zheng Pianqing didn't feel any heartbeat because of his words. Her whole heart was like a pool of stagnant water, and there was no expression on her face.
Zhou Yi was a little hurt by Zheng Pianqing's reaction - although he had long known that she would not believe these words after hearing them, he thought that she would at least have emotions, even if she asked him angrily, "What kind of love is that?" .
But she didn't.
Anger does not hurt people, being angry means that the heart is not dead yet, while indifference is the sharpest blade, cutting straight into the heart.
"You don't believe me, I know." He forced himself to laugh, but his eyes were extremely red, "It doesn't matter, I will prove it to you."
"I will not give up San San. Even if Zheng Linxu takes action against me, even if he wants my life, I will not give up any opportunity to get close to you and San San." He has never hesitated to express his determination.
