The question that Zhou Yi wanted to know the answer to the most was the least that Zheng Pianqing needed to think about. She even felt that the answer to this question was so obvious that there was no meaning in answering it.
But after seeing Zhou Yi's persistent and eager eyes, Zheng Pianqing gave him the answer: "No, it's meaningless."
This answer seemed to be expected. Zhou Yi smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly, and then asked her again: "If your body allowed it, wouldn't you keep her?"
"Probably so." Zheng Pianqing now answered this question very calmly and straightforwardly, "During pregnancy and the few months after giving birth, I was the most seriously ill."
When she said this, Zhou Yi remembered the medical records he had snatched from her hand before, and his attitude and behavior at that time. He wanted to give himself a slap in the face, and that meeting in Zurich... He counted the time, Zheng Pianqing had already given birth to her child at that time.
"How long after you gave birth to San San did you go to Zurich?" Zhou Yi asked.
Zheng Pianqing: "More than a month."
Zhou Yi was speechless, but suddenly realized something - Zheng Pianqian had very complicated feelings for Sansan at that time.
After Zheng Pianqian saw Zhou Yi's surprised expression, she asked him, "Are you surprised?"
Zhou Yi nodded, "I'm surprised, but I don't mean to accuse you. These are actually all caused by me."
It had been too long since the two of them had sat and chatted calmly like this, not as exes who met again after breaking up, not as men and women who had such deep emotional entanglements, but just as parents of their children.
Zheng Pianqing: "She was fourteen weeks old when I went to the hospital."
She rarely recalled what happened during that period in recent years. "After the examination, I wanted to have surgery. The doctor suggested considering it because the risk was too high."
"I had no choice but to give birth to her," Zheng Pianqing said. "We had already found a home for her to adopt."
When Zhou Yi heard this, his fists suddenly tightened - his mood became more and more complicated. He was sighing and feeling scared at the same time. Zheng Pianqing's feelings for Sansan were so deep now. Who would have thought how sick she was back then? That’s why you have such an idea?
Zhou Yi took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice: "Then...why didn't you send her away in the end?"
Zheng Pianqing: "It's just a matter of thought."
She stared at the carpet at her feet, thoughtfully, "Now I'm glad I made such a decision."
"Thank you." Zhou Yi thanked Zheng Pianqing sincerely, "Thank you for keeping her, and thank you for letting me see her. Sansan was taught very well. To me, she is the best in the world." child."
Zheng Pianqing felt a little sorry when she heard this: "This is the credit of my brother and my sister. My brother has been taking care of her since she was born. I didn't see her for the first time until she was three years old."
Zhou Yi was speechless again.
He subconsciously wanted to ask why, but after thinking about it, he quickly figured it out - Sansan's face looked too much like his, and Zheng Pianqing probably didn't want to see such a face at that time.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi said to Zheng Pianqing: "Actually, I met you in Zurich a few years ago."
This time it was Zheng Pianqing's turn to be surprised: "When?"
Zhou Yi: "She should be around three or three years old. You and Qi Hezhen were having dinner together at that time."
Zheng Pianqing was reminded by Zhou Yi to recall, and she also remembered this matter, "Well, I spent some time with him."
Although he knew he had no right to be jealous, Zhou Yi was still stabbed when he heard this, "I've heard of it."
He couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't it come to the end? I heard someone said that you almost got married."
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "I don't know why."
Breaking up with Qi Hezhen seems to be a very natural process - in fact, even when they were together, there weren't many sparks. They were separated for a long time. After meeting, they were very polite to each other, and even the way they got along didn't look like a couple. .
Zheng Pianqing thought that maybe it was because she and Qi Hezhen had known each other for too long and couldn't switch their identities and roles, so it was difficult for them to have sparks.
Zhou Yi actually wanted to ask Qin Lie questions, or the other men around her over the years, but in the end he swallowed the questions. He didn't want to destroy the harmonious atmosphere they had finally achieved.
"The brownie is cold, do you want to try it?" Zhou Yi took the initiative to change the subject, "I'll get you a piece."
After that, he had already stood up and moved forward, as if he was deliberately escaping from the topic just now.
Zhou Yi put a piece of brownie on a plate, took a dessert fork, and handed it to Zheng Pianqing.
As soon as the plate arrived, Zheng Pianqing smelled a strong aroma. She picked up a fork, cut off pieces and put them into her mouth. Under Zhou Yi's expectant eyes, she gave him feedback: "The sweetness is just right, not bad." .”
Zhou Yi: "The original recipe had too much sugar, so I made a slight improvement."
Zheng Pianqing: "Have you studied it specifically?"
Zhou Yi: "I bought a few books to read. I'm not working now, so I have a lot of time."
Zheng Pianqian nodded, lowered her head and continued to eat the brownies on the plate.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi felt encouraged and said with a smile: "If you like it, I can cook it for you often in the future."
——
The week before and after the art exhibition in LA officially ended at 8pm on the 25th.
Because it happened during the Christmas holiday, the traffic of the exhibition was much better than that of the one in New York.
The 26th was Sansan's birthday, and Zheng Linxu and Zheng Yuemi both came over before it happened.
Zheng Linxu was used to Zhou Yi's presence, and her expression was just okay after seeing him, but it was difficult for Zheng Yuemi to have a good attitude towards Zhou Yi. If it weren't for Sansan's presence, she would most likely not have sat down with Zhou Yi. Set a table for dinner.
Sansan's birthday cake was made by Zhou Yi himself, and it was topped with her favorite starch. In order to learn this decoration, Zhou Yi didn't know how much cake embryos and cream were wasted.
However, during this period, Zheng Pianqing also helped him a lot - such as guiding him in painting.
This also made Zhou Yi discover that he really had no talent in art creation.
But this cake is pretty well finished, at least it’s good enough to be put on a store window for sale.
Because of the high degree of completion, both Zheng Linxu and Zheng Yuemi thought the cake was bought.
It wasn't until Sansan praised Zhou Yi that they realized that the cake was actually made by Zhou Yi himself.
Although Zheng Yuemi didn't say anything, she looked at Zhou Yi less coldly - it wasn't that she had changed her opinion of him, but she felt that he did have intentions for Sansan.
After going through the process of singing happy birthday, making wishes and blowing out candles, Sansan gave everyone on the table a piece of cake.
While several people were eating cake, Sansan suddenly talked about their trip to Beicheng: "Dad, aunt, do you want to go to Beicheng with me?"
Zheng Linxu and Zheng Yuemi both have work arrangements and cannot go.
Sansan felt a little regretful.
