Chapter 503: Quietly Leave
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Gu Xibei respectfully walked behind him, reached out and picked up the thermos kettle, and poured a glass of warm boiled water for both of them.
He had the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water, but Lin Heng took it silently, and gently held the railing by the window with his other hand, his eyes were full of complex meanings.
"Sure enough, the moon in China is more beautiful."
A bright moon outside accompanied the whole city into a quiet sleep, and in various unknown corners of the city, there were still people who were as emotional as Lin Heng.
He didn't like to look at the moon much when he was abroad, because he was worried that he would miss his hometown and his relatives back home. In those lonely and lonely years, it was Laura who accompanied me. Now he has taken the most critical step, which can be regarded as an explanation for himself.
"Are you sincere about Qingyue?"
Lin Heng shook the glass, and his voice had a slight cold feeling, which made Gu Xibei subconsciously nervous. It's always awkward to talk to your father-in-law.
On the outside, he is a deep and cold domineering president, but in front of Lin Heng, he is an ordinary future son-in-law. And no matter how famous he is in the business world, all Lin Heng wants to know is how deep his sincerity is for his baby daughter.
"I'm serious about Qingyue, just like my uncle's feelings for Laura."
Gu Xibei explained his mind in two pounds, and his words caused Lin Heng to chuckle.
It seems that this man is quite good at talking, and the appearance of a flamboyant tongue is not only annoying, but also quite a bit of the art of speaking.
He nodded with satisfaction, reached out and gently patted Gu Xibei's shoulder, and walked out of the room with him, and the two sat down on the edge of the rattan chair in the back garden.
The temperature in the middle of the night has decreased, and Gu Xibei also thoughtfully prepared a blanket and carefully covered it for his father-in-law.
"It seems that I can't accept old age, people are sick when they reach middle age."
Lin Heng smiled faintly, he recalled what the family doctor in the United States said, because of the perennial wandering abroad, his physical condition is much worse than that of people of the same age, this matter is only known to Laura and him, both of them kept silent and tacitly cooperated with the treatment.
When he returned to China to meet his daughter this time, he was very melancholy, because he didn't know when the next meeting would be.
child
Growing up has a world of his own, he doesn't want to interfere with any choices his daughter makes, he just wants to support him silently behind his back.
"This world is very sinister, I hope you can take good care of Qingyue, even if sometimes she will play a little childish temper, please tolerate her."
Lin Heng's tone became extremely gentle and affectionate, he let go of his high posture as an elder, and instead asked Gu Xibei as a friend.
Both men are in love with Lin Qingyue deeply, one is a father's love that is as heavy as a mountain, and the other is a love that flows through a long stream, the two looked at each other and smiled, Gu Xibei nodded solemnly, and made his promise to his father-in-law.
"I will be good to her for the rest of my life, please rest assured that Uncle will hand over Qingyue to me."
They have been together for so long, and the edges and corners that should be run-in are almost the same. Lin Qingyue is the woman Gu Xibei identifies, he is not a prodigal son in love, but an infatuated lover like Lin Heng, if he falls in love with a woman, he will spend his whole life loving each other until he dies.
Lin Heng stared at his expression and read everything from those talking eyes. This man is really good to his baby daughter, and he is also very relieved to hand over Qingyue to him to take care of.
He also nodded contentedly, drank the boiled water in the cup in one gulp, and the two chatted about a lot of interesting past events in the moonlight, and also mentioned Laura.
"Uncle, you and Miss Laura have also come together after a lot of hardships, I sincerely wish you all the best, and I hope you can live happily and happily in the United States."
Gu Xibei rarely said words from the bottom of his heart, and his performance made Lin Heng a little embarrassed. is almost half a hundred years old, and he has actually developed a relationship, like a young man in love.
But when he thought of his sincere relationship with Laura, Lin Heng couldn't help laughing again. He wanted to show Laura how grateful he was for liking her.
After the two big men had made everything they wanted to say, they were ready to go back to the bedroom to rest. By the time Lin Qingyue woke up, it was already half past eight the next morning.
She glanced at the time on her phone and got out of bed. According to the plan, she should make a large table of hearty breakfasts to show her warm welcome to her father and Laura.
But it's half past eight! They're not already up in bed, are they?
Lin Qingyue nervously ran out of the bedroom and tiptoed
Standing at the door of his father and Laura's room, there was no movement inside, and it was estimated that the two were still sleeping.
"It's okay, it's in time!"
She immediately ran to wash, neatly tied her apron with her hands and feet in the kitchen, and waited until the tempting aroma of breakfast came out of it, and Gu Xibei also woke up naturally.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the dining room, and was about to take a meat bun to pad his stomach, but Lin Qingyue pushed him strongly, and insisted that he go and ask his father and Laura to eat together.
"I'm going to make them feel like home, so go and call them over for breakfast first!"
Lin Qingyue began to show her coquettish face again, and her cute and honest appearance made Gu Xibei reluctant to get angry, let alone care. He feigned jealousy and turned and walked to the room at the end of the hallway, knocking several times without hearing a sound, and then he realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Before she could untie her apron, she hurried over to look at the wide open bedroom and was taken aback.
It turned out that my father and Laura had long since left, their beds were neatly tied, there was no sign of any inhabitants in the room, and there was still a letter on the small wooden table next to it.
Gu Xibei picked it up and glanced at it, then showed a warm smile and silently handed over the letter to Lin Qingyue's hands.
"It seems that Uncle has always cared about you, so listen to him and stay with me."
Lin Qingyue took the letter curiously, the font on it was strong and elegant, exactly the same as his father's personality. She lowered her head and read the letter carefully, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, but there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
Men are not good at expressing their true feelings directly, and her father is no exception. Although it was just a few words written on paper, she was deeply moved by every word.
Gu Xibei quietly walked behind her, reached out to hug her thin waist, leaned on her delicate shoulder and talked about last night's incident.
It turned out that from that time on, Lin Heng planned to say goodbye without saying goodbye, he didn't want to disturb his daughter's clean life, and chose to pay attention and support silently behind his back.
"I never knew he would love me so much."
Lin Qingyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief, she completely dissolved the mustard in her heart, this is forgiveness for her father's absence from her growing up, and it is also a relief for herself.
