Chapter 1435
The man, really, was as good as gone.
Or, perhaps, back to his country.
On the fourth day of Chigenreiya’s training, she went outside to fetch water from the river with two heavy wooden buckets, and after another snowfall, there was a blanket of white everywhere outside the temple.
And she, because she had grown up well clothed and well fed, still couldn’t stand on her feet after she had managed to bring the water up, and her little hands, which had been chilled to red, slipped underfoot as she grasped it.
“Thud!”
With the bucket, he fell all to the ground.
“Woo~~~”
She finally couldn’t help but cry, especially when she saw that her hands were bleeding from the sharp ice on the ground, and her golden beans were falling down.
In the end, she was only 20 years old.
As she was crying, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from in front of her, and within moments, a pair of black handmade man’s leather boots appeared in front of her.
“Hmm?”
She saw it, and after blinking her big teary eyes, she slowly lifted her little head.
“How’s that? Do you still like the days of the Green Lantern?”
The man who suddenly appeared right in her line of sight shone like a god descending from the sky in the white shimmering daylight overhead, and she thought she was dreaming.
“Old …… husband?”
“Who is your husband? You’re a monk now, do you have a husband?”
The man standing tall in front of her, a handsome face still cold, he just gazed at her with his head lowered and his gaze was also chilly.
Chigenreiya did not speak.
Her small face went white, and after she somewhat wretchedly withdrew her gaze immediately, she was about to struggle to get up from the ground.
She really didn’t have a husband anymore, just now, that was all just her dreaming again.
Chigenreiya got up from the ground, carrying the two broken buckets, and stumbled around, ready to go back.
“Qian Yuan Lai Ye, think carefully, if you go back, I really won’t come over again, I’m not as great as you think, I’m also human, I will have hate and resentment, I walked out today, just to give myself a chance, and so do you!”
Qiao Shiqian surprisingly called out to her from behind.
He did not coax.
Because, from his bloodshot eyes, one could see that he had, in fact, had a very torturous time during those few days.
Therefore, his words at this time were not as nice and straightforward, and he also made his own attitude very clear.
It was also true that he had only just cured himself, in fact, to be able to make it this far was already very good, if it was in the past, he would only have returned to his country a long time ago.
Then, she, Chigenraiba, had really become a stranger to him.
Qian Yuan Lai Ye was as if she had been punctured.
She stood there dumbfounded, and felt as if something had been hammered in her chest, and all the grievances, sadness, and expectations …… of these days came up at this moment.
She finally tears snapped down again.
“You …… don’t blame me anymore?”
She asked as she turned around, her face full of tears.
Qiao Shiqian looked at her and asked back, “Then did you do it on purpose in the first place?”
“No!”
The little girl, who was sobbing uncontrollably, immediately shook her head.
“I didn’t do it on purpose ……”
“Well, that’s fine then, I don’t want to think about the past anymore, and you saw with your own eyes how I came out of that abyss, Leafy, we should all give ourselves a chance.”
He mentioned those two words once more.
And this time, his gaze was much softer, and even his final trailing voice was replaced with the familiar gentleness of before.
The little girl heard it from across the room, and suddenly, after great ecstasy spread across her chest, where could she care about anything else, and with two small hands she threw the barrel away.
She then darted towards him.
“Husband -”
She finally called back the familiar name.
And after she jumped on him, she also hugged him hard with one small hand, just like a child who had finally returned to the harbour, and could no longer control her bawling.
This was in fact redemption.
Before, she had saved him, now it was his turn to save her.
Not far away, Mrs. Chien Yuan, who had also followed him over, saw this and couldn’t help but cry for joy in the car as well.
“Madam ……”
“Let’s go, go back and tell the master the good news.” Mrs Chien Yuan wiped her tears and soon they drove away from the place.
Two hours later, at a top shopping mall in Tokyo, the little girl, who had put on a wig and new clothes, was finally back to her dainty, cute and bright-eyed self.
“Honey, does it look good?”
“Mmm.”
Qiao Shiqian just watched quietly.
He could now, probably, really know his own heart too.
Because, in those few days, he had locked himself up in the villa, he had let himself go back to the country countless times by just immediately this city, but his mood was never as comfortable as it was now.
He might still have a little sting in his heart.
But this moment, he could be sure, was when he was at his most relaxed.
After finishing his shopping, as tomorrow was the 28th of the year, Qiao Shiqian was ready to take this little girl straight back home.
Chapter 1436
But just as the two were about to leave for the airport, Chigenbon himself came over.
“Akiyama, are you really sure you want to take her back? Think about it, if she goes with you, then on the Chigen family’s side, the family will tick her off, meaning that if you don’t want her one day, she’ll never come back to the Chigen family.”
After he had found the two, he distracted Chigen Lea and then mentioned this to Qiao Shiqian in a very serious manner.
It was natural for him to do so.
With Chiyogen Yuki becoming a vegetable, if he didn’t want to tell the truth about the reason why Chiyogen Lea had really done it to her, then it was the only way to do it, otherwise, what Chiyogen Lea was facing would also be the loss of her reputation.
So in doing so, he was protecting this daughter.
But at the same time, it was also a gamble.
If this man in front of him did not treat her daughter well, then this daughter of his, too, might be doomed.
Mrs. Chien Yuan was also over there looking nervously at this son-in-law.
“I remember telling you guys before, she is no longer Qian Yuan Lai Ye now, but her surname is Qiao, so if you want to see it, go back and show you the Huo family tree.”
“The Huo family tree?”
Chien Yuan Ben froze for a moment.
“You mean …… to get her into your Huo family tree?” He was shocked, because a woman, in RB, didn’t have that distinction.
Qiao Shiqian’s reaction was muted.
“Yes, there is a problem? Not only that, I am also going to hold a shareholders’ meeting at Huo’s right after the start of the year to redistribute the Huo family’s shareholding, your daughter, as my wife, is allowed to share half of my shareholding, and the children will continue later, father, what other questions do you have?”
He ended up, surprisingly, calling out this father-in-law.
Chien Yuanben was completely shaken.
Because he knew that after so many years, this man in front of him, even Tsuruoka, rarely respected him as his father, and how honoured he, Chien Yuan Ben, was.
In the end, Mr and Mrs Chien Yuan happily put their daughter on the plane.
Mrs. Chien Gen: “Laiba, when you go there remember to listen to Akiyama-kun and don’t mess around anymore do you understand?”
Chigen Lea: “Yes, mum.”
Chigenbon: “Tell her that she needs to give the Huo family an heir as soon as possible, and if she does, call you and I’ll give you permission to look after her until she’s born.”
Mrs. Chien Yuan: “Huh?”
“……”
All the way until the young couple got on the plane, Chigen Lea’s little face was still flushed.
Qiao Shiqian came over after he had put away his luggage and saw her sitting in her seat with her little head down the whole time, and at the base of her ears, she was as scarlet as a big apple, and he came over.
“What did your mother say to you before she got on the plane?”
“…… nothing …… nothing?”
The little girl was even more shy, just about burying her head in her knees.
When Qiao Shiqian saw her like this, he didn’t ask.
The age gap, sometimes, still made him feel a certain amount of vicarious with her, like at the beginning when she made the house full of pink.
And all kinds of lace ……
Well, the difference between an old man and a young loli is not a little.
But just as he opened that newspaper and was about to read it, suddenly, this little girl who was sitting next to him, came over carefully again.
“Honey, do you …… you want to have children?”
“What?”
The man’s voice that suddenly spiked out, made this first cla*s pa*sengers all look over.
As soon as Chigen Lea Lea saw it, she was so frightened that she hurriedly reached out her small hand and covered the man’s mouth.
“Honey, keep your voice down, so everyone else can hear you.” She was even so red that she was about to drip blood.
Only then did Qiao Shiqian realise that he had indeed lost his temper.
However, he was really excited just now, at that moment, even his heart was about to jump out.
A child?
That was something he had never dared to think about before.
“So …… you’re having one?”
After glancing around, he held back the excitement in his heart for a long time before he heard himself lower his voice and ask.
The little girl immediately blushed again.
“No …… no la, this is only how long ah, I …… I just asked if you like it? Honey, my mother just said that she wanted me to feel like giving you a baby, but I think I’m still young, I’m only 20 this year, I still want to …… still want to do something, honey, do you think it’s okay?”
Her big, watery eyes flashed in front of him, full of pleading.
Qiao Shiqian: “……”
The first thing that happened was that he felt his heart, which had flown up into the sky, fall down again with a snap, and then it didn’t move at all.
Lost. ……
“What about when you’re going to have it?”
“Huh?”
The little girl froze.
There?
Her round little face fell.
“Well, if you have one, then you’ll have him, it’s your husband’s baby, and I’ll raise him well.”
One second of consideration and this little girl, surprisingly, had a completely different attitude again.
The young girl’s attitude was completely different again, and Qiao Shiqian, who was in a depressed mood, didn’t know what to say.
“Good, then let’s say so, this time if there is no, then wait until you grow up a bit, if there is, we will give birth to it well.”
“Okay, then husband, when we get off the plane, should we go buy that first?”
“Which one?”
“That’s the one. ……”
The little girl suddenly then pointed to a piece of advertis*ment published in the newspaper he was holding in his hand.
When Qiao Shiqian looked at it, his head was full of black lines!
Durex, or the ultra-thin model ……
