Chapter 405: Chapter 404 You are really selfish!
Lu Pengcheng knew Luo Xinyan hated his mother, and he hated her too.
Especially today, when he rushed to the hospital and stood outside the ward listening to what his mother said to Lin Xia.
She kept saying no matter what she had done, he would still recognize her as his mom! It was blatant arrogance!
He understood that if he immediately revealed the old lady’s presence here, Luo Xinyan might not even give him another chance to speak!
It had been so difficult for him to see her, and there was an even more pressing question he wanted to know immediately, how could he willingly leave.
So he just said one sentence, "She is still alive!"
Luo Xinyan snorted coldly, "It’s truly the good who do not live long, and the evil who do not live long enough! My mother didn’t even outlive her!"
Her mother was such a good person, kind-hearted her whole life yet faced with a life of hardships, and it would have been acceptable if it were only her own misfortune.
As her daughter, having suffered so much with her, they were just about to enjoy some peace when she passed away.
Concerned, Lu Pengcheng asked, "How did Auntie pass away?"
"Died of illness!" Luo Xinyan was unwilling to elaborate.
Lu Pengcheng was anxious now, so he didn’t continue to ask. He looked at Luo Xinyan, "Xinyan! Luo Yue is my daughter, right?"
He estimated from Luo Yue’s appearance and age that she must be his daughter, but he still wanted to get a definite answer from Luo Xinyan’s mouth.
Back then, he had thought that after their one encounter, she might get pregnant with their child.
But she disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find her, and gradually he also...
Luo Xinyan watched Lu Pengcheng in silence with a deep gaze for a long while. Suddenly she began to sneer uncontrollably, and yet there were tears in her laughter, "Yes! She indeed is your daughter!"
Lu Pengcheng stood up excitedly, he had never imagined that there would truly be a fruit of love between them!
Excitement, ecstasy, and heartache tore through his heart.
How difficult must it be for a woman to raise a child on her own?
"Happy, aren’t you? Suddenly having a daughter over thirty!"
Luo Xinyan was satisfied with Lu Pengcheng’s reaction, having once imagined what he would be like when he found out one day that they had a daughter.
But so many seasons had passed in life, and she could no longer say when her own life might abruptly end; now none of these things mattered anymore.
"Xinyan! Why didn’t you come back to find me later... You know how desperately I’ve been looking for you all these years..."
Lu Pengcheng stopped there. He had gotten married and had children later. If Xinyan had really come looking for him with the child...
"Xinyan! I truly didn’t know about this! If I had known, even if she had threatened me with death, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry someone else!" Lu Pengcheng was filled with regret, hating that he couldn’t go back in time and kill his former self.
Luo Xinyan gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She should have realized it, shouldn’t she?
Even if it wasn’t that Feng woman, Lu Pengcheng’s mother would never allow her eldest son to stay unmarried and childless for life!
She endured the dull pain in her heart and spoke indifferently, "Why should I have gone looking for you? Was I supposed to bring my daughter along to watch you being all sweet and loving with another woman?
Besides, Yueyue is my daughter, what does she have to do with you? You were merely the provider of a sperm! She’s the child I carried for ten months and raised with hardship!"
Tears also appeared in Lu Pengcheng’s eyes, and his heart slightly ached. The woman he loved had suffered so much without him knowing.
Yet he knew nothing about it, even just hiding in his unit to escape reality.
"Xinyan! I’m sorry for you! Let me take care of you and your daughter from now on, as my way of making amends, okay? I’ll divorce her right away!"
Luo Xinyan looked at him disdainfully, her eyes full of disappointment, and avoiding his affectionate gaze, she said, "Lu Pengcheng! You are really selfish! Now that you have seen me and found out about Yueyue’s existence, you want to divorce her immediately!
What about the years of marriage you two have shared? What about your children with her?
Who do you think I am? I, Luo Xinyan, absolutely refuse to be someone who ruins another person’s family!
Enough! Lu Pengcheng! I’ve heard your explanation, now go! Don’t come back again! I don’t want to see you again in my lifetime!"
Lu Pengcheng hugged Luo Xinyan desperately, afraid that she would disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Half of his life had already passed, and from now on, he didn’t want to live for others anymore. He wanted to live for himself!
Even if she didn’t agree to be with him again, he would be satisfied just to see her every day!
"No! Xinyan! Listen to me! I know it’s all my fault! Everything started with me! I let you both down! But the one I love is you! It has always been you... it has never changed..." By the end, he was crying.
Luo Xinyan, with tears streaming down her face, struggled fiercely, "Lu Pengcheng! Let go of me! I can’t bear your love! Let go of me... If you don’t let go now, I’ll call for help..."
The man holding her tightly was her former lover, the father of her daughter; how could her heart not be moved at all?
But he is also a man with a wife and children.
Luo Xinyan didn’t want to be the kind of person who destroys another’s family!
Even now, at this age, isn’t it best to forget each other and each lead a good life, like strangers?
"Xinyan! I’ve finally found you! Before I came here this time, I figured if I could see you just once more, I would die without any regrets...
But now I’m quite greedy, having seen you and our daughter, I want so much more..."
Lu Pengcheng was very determined, even as Luo Xinyan kicked and pinched him, he refused to let go!
He held tightly to the woman he had yearned for half his life. Now, he didn’t want to think about anything else. He just wanted to embrace her properly, to truly feel her presence.
That was what he had most wanted to do after seeing her, although he hadn’t dared to act on it until now.
But now she was telling him to leave, and he understood what a resolute and defiant soul lived within this frail body.
At that moment, sounds came from the door, someone was running in.
Luo Xinyan pinched Lu Pengcheng hard, and he finally reluctantly let her go.
Luo Yue ran in gasping for breath. When she entered the room and saw her mother with this uncle, their eyes red from crying, she sensed something might have happened.
But it wasn’t the time to discuss those things. She anxiously looked at Lu Pengcheng and said, "Your mother’s condition has suddenly worsened. A lady came looking for me a moment ago and asked me to tell you to hurry back to the hospital!"
Luo Xinyan asked in surprise, "She’s here?"
"Yes! She’s in the hospital where Luo Yue works!"
Luo Xinyan raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Your mother, despite the superior medical conditions of the provincial capital, chose to come here to be hospitalized? Is she out of her mind?"
She was familiar with the conditions of her daughter’s hospital. That woman, who lived in luxury and was particular about everything, could only mean there was something going on without needing to guess.
Lu Pengcheng looked down, slightly uneasy, "Xinyan..." He wondered how to start explaining the reasons behind this to her.
