Chapter 1298 Waiting for the Answer
Nan Yifeng's biological father, this vicissitudes of life man, the years have left deep and shallow marks on his face, and every wrinkle seems to tell an unknown past.
His deep eyes are like two bottomless lakes, hiding endless stories and secrets.
At this moment, he raised his head slightly, looked at the distant sky, and sighed deeply.
The sigh was melodious, like a sad piece of music, containing so many complex and deep emotions.
There is regret for the mistakes he made in the past, as well as a deep longing for his long-lost relatives; there are the heavy blows that life has dealt him, as well as the unspeakable pain deep in his heart.
All these emotions seemed to be compressed into a small balloon. With this gentle sigh, they were instantly released and filled the air.
He turned around slowly and his eyes fell on the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him.
"Yun Xi..."
He called softly in a low and slightly hoarse voice, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
It seemed as if this name possessed a magical power that, once mentioned, could touch the softest part of his heart.
It is like a key. With a gentle turn, it can open the long-closed door of the heart, allowing those memories buried deep in the memory to surge out like a tide, bringing endless emotions and sighs.
"When I ran away from home, every time I think about it, my heart is filled with endless guilt and regret. At that time, I was so young and full of vigor and energy! So I was extremely stubborn and stubborn in dealing with people. Now I think about how naive and ridiculous I was at that time. I am really sorry to everyone.
Hearing what I said, Du Yunxi just laughed coldly a few times: "Hahaha... I dare not accept your apology easily."
There was obvious sarcasm and disdain in her tone.
Nan Yifeng's father hurriedly explained, "Yunxi, please believe me, I am absolutely sincere this time. Back then, I was like a possessed person. There seemed to be an invisible and powerful force deep in my heart that kept driving me, making me want to pursue my dreams and goals wholeheartedly, without caring about the feelings of other people around me."
"What makes me feel the most heartbroken is that I have ruthlessly forgotten even those relatives who are so important to me. Thinking about it now, I really regret it!"
"At that time, my mind was filled with so-called ambitions and great ideals. I always felt that as long as I was willing to work twice as hard, I would be able to realize my ambitions and give them the best life in the world. In fact, it's not that I don't love them. This love has always been deeply buried in my heart and has never diminished. It's just that I really don't have the slightest interest in the business that has been passed down from my family."
Du Yunxi's eyes widened, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief. She said in a trembling voice, "What?! You actually said such a thing? Then you let my best friend bear all this? How can you be so cruel! "
Nan Yifeng's biological father looked guilty, but he still tried to explain:
"Yun Xi, please listen to me. At that time, I was young and energetic with only one idea in my mind - to venture into the martial arts world and do something big. I was full of passion and resolutely embarked on this road full of unknowns and challenges. At that time, I was determined to open up a new world for us through my own efforts and hard work, so that you and your son could live a happy and worry-free life. But... alas, things did not develop as I expected."
Having said that, he sighed helplessly, with deep regret and self-blame in his eyes.
"However, what I never expected was that, despite my hard work, what I ultimately gave them was not what they really wanted. Not only that, my willful behavior also caused them deep harm, casting an indelible shadow on our originally happy family. Looking back now, I really regret it!"
Having said this, he stopped talking and his eyes became a little blurry, as if he had returned to his youth full of passion and impulse.
After a long while, he seemed to wake up from a dream. He blinked slowly, took a deep breath, and finally broke free from his trance.
Then, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Now, time is like the rushing river, passing by quickly, and so much time has passed in the blink of an eye. Everything around has changed drastically and is no longer the same as it was before. If I want to come back here at this moment, eager to integrate into this family that once belonged to me and become an indispensable member of it, then Manman...will she still be able to accept me?"
Nan Xi, Du Yunxi, Nan Yifeng, and Nan Weiwei looked at this man with their own emotions in their eyes.
"After all, I was too selfish and irresponsible back then. I abandoned them and let them endure the hardships and tribulations of life alone. Perhaps, in her heart, she has completely forgotten me, the man who cruelly abandoned the family? She doesn't even have a trace of memory about me. Perhaps, to her, I have long become an insignificant stranger, drifting away like a passing cloud, disappearing in the long river of time."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of uneasiness and anxiety in his heart. It was a fear of the unknown and a deep regret for past mistakes.
He looked at Yun Xi, his eyes full of desire and expectation, but he was afraid that the expectation would be shattered.
"If not..."
He clenched his teeth so tightly that his cheeks bulged slightly, and a look of determination appeared on his face, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle deep in his heart.
Finally, as if he had made some great decision, he slowly said, "I will divorce her! This may be the best choice for both of us. I decided to let go and give her freedom, so that she can pursue the happiness that truly belongs to her without any scruples. All along, I have been too selfish, just wanting to tie her firmly to my side, but never considering how much pain and grievance this would bring her. Thinking about it now, I am so ashamed! So from now on, I will no longer be an obstacle to her pursuit of a happy life."
"As long as I can see her spend every day happily and without worries, I will feel satisfied. Even if I can no longer be with her for the rest of my life, as long as I know that she is living a good life, it is enough for me."
After saying this, he seemed to have taken off a heavy shackle, and he felt much more relaxed.
But within that sense of relief, there was also a hint of indescribable bitterness and reluctance.
He took a deep breath and waited for the answer.
