"Little Uncle, are you saying that I was only pretending to be in a vegetative state? Are you trying to say that Xie Ailin and her mother appeared today because I instructed them to? If you are all so sure, why do you need to ask me? "

Xie Xingqing raised her hands in front of Xie Xuning.

​​

"Since you have identified me, there is no need to make any excuses. Here's my hand. Are you going to handcuff me yourself?"

Xie Xinghe silently clicked on another folder. Not long after Xie Xingqing woke up, he began to collect Xie Xingqing's information.

At first, it was precisely because Xie Xingqing was close to them during the investigation that she was often subconsciously ignored.

Now that Xie Xinghe has found so much information about Xie Xingqing, Xie Xingqing couldn't deny it.

"Xie Xingqing, I believe that I shouldn't have brought you into the Xie family when you were 13."

Back then, Xie Xingqing's biological father was killed in action and her mother remarried. She was too young to live alone.

Xie Qian asked Xie Xuning to take Xiaoxingqing back to the Xie family.

"Why didn't you want me back then?"

Xie Xingqing asked suddenly. When she was alone and helpless, he brought her to the Xie family.

She will never forget that day...

It was raining lightly. He was wearing a white shirt and holding a long black umbrella in his hand as he did today. He walked towards her, seemingly taking his time with each step.

That day, he was like a prince from a fairy tale who had won her heart.

From that day onward, her heart became filled with him.

She started liking him because of his appearance, then she fell in love with him because of his devotion.

The longer she stayed in the Xie family, the more she learned about Xie Xuning.

The more she understood, the more infatuated she became with him.

Since he was a soldier, she gave up her dreams and joined the army.

He has always been aloof and cold to everyone.

She loved him with all her heart.

She knew better than anyone that under Xie Xuning's cold appearance was a passionate heart.

His heart was like a layer of hard rock with thick magma in the center.

She loved him.

She loved him more and more every day.

She loved him so much that she no longer needed anyone else in her life.

"What do you mean?" Xie Xuning felt a little confused.

Xie Qian sighed for a while and said, "She asked you why you didn't adopt her. Answer her."

"Why should I? I have a wife named Ye Linlang. If I wanted to adopt a daughter, I have to ask for my wife's consent..."

Wife?

Ye Linlang has been dead for so long, yet he still missed her.

Was he willing to spend his whole life alone waiting for a dead person to come back to him?

He waited for one year, then two years, then ten years.

While her love for him grew, he had been immersed in his own desires.

He built Lang Garden for her, yet that same garden became a prison.

That garden became like a prison for him.

Nothing else in his life mattered to him more than Ye Linlang.

At the time, she wished that she would never grow up. If she didn't grow up, she wouldn't have to marry.

This way, she can at least look at him from a distance.

He would also be gentle and affectionate when talking to her because of her connection to the Xie family.

"Little Uncle, why won't you turn around and look at me?"
