Chapter 597 - Cold And Indifferent Person
The confusion on Bai Jianjun’s face was slowly expanding. “How old is she? How did she get married?”
“This is Xiao Yan’s own decision.” Xie Luan did not feel that there was anything wrong with Gu Yan’s decision. Although it was a little early to get married, she was not even 20 yet, however, Xie Luan knew that Gu Yan had always been a very sensible and rational child. Gu Yan had her own rational judgment in everything she did.
Bai Jianjun still frowned and said stiffly, “It’s too hasty!”
Xie Luan raised her eyes to look at him but didn’t say anything else. This made Bai Jianjun a little embarrassed and at a loss.
On the other side, the old man yawned and indeed looked exhausted. Xie Luan then walked out with Bai Changle.
In the end, apart from elder Bai, only Bai Jianjun was left in the room.
Elder Bai said, “Jianjun, why are you getting more and more distant from Little Luan?”
Bai Jianjun’s face was a little embarrassed. “Dad, it’s not that you don’t know me. I know how to face the soldiers under me, but… Fortunately, Little Luan has always been very understanding of me.”
“But you can’t take her understanding for granted.” Elder Bai sighed. He suddenly felt that he had failed to educate his child.
He waved his hand and said, “Go over and comfort Little Luan. Mengchen did something wrong with the child. Any mother who loses a child will not feel good. Moreover, I will support her.”
Bai Jianjun nodded.
After he left elder Bai’s room, he let out a sigh of relief and returned to the bedroom.
Xie Luan was reading a book. The corners of her eyes were slightly red. After Bai Jianjun came in, she still read the book without saying a word.
Bai Jianjun recalled that when Xie Luan first came to the house, she was such a smart and beautiful girl. Although her body had always been weak, she was gentle and caring to everyone. The corners of her eyes were filled with a warm smile.
However, Xie Luan these past few days… was clearly unhappy.
Bai Jianjun was a little troubled as he thought about his words. In fact, he did not like to see Xie Luan depressed and filled with sadness. Previously, even when her illness was at its worst, Xie Luan had never been so depressed.
However, before Bai Jianjun could speak, Xie Luan raised her head and asked, “Jianjun, do you hate Xiao Yan?”
“Me?”
Xie Luan lowered her eyes. “From what happened today until now, you have not said a single word for her!”
Bai Jianjun felt that his mouth was a little dry. “I thought that it was just a paternity test and that we should investigate further…”
“You don’t believe that Xiao Yan is our daughter?” Xie Luan tightly held the thin blanket, “Xiao Yan looks very much like my mother, and her personality is very much like my father’s. Heh, but that’s also true. Not to mention Xiaoyan who has been wandering outside for nearly twenty years, you actually didn’t care much about Weiyang and our Changle either.”
Xie Luan paused for a moment and then slowly said, “Because you’ve always been a very cold and indifferent person.”
Bai Jianjun suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
No, it wasn’t like that. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his child!
It was just that he didn’t know how to express his feelings. Moreover, most of his passion was focused on his work.
He thought that Xiao Luan had always understood him…
“Little Luan, I…”
Xie Luan interrupted him. “Jianjun, I’m not feeling well today. You can sleep in the guest room.”
After saying this, Xie Luan lay down with her back facing Bai Jianjun. For the first time, she clearly expressed her disappointment in him.
Bai Jianjun stretched out his hand in the air, and that sentence was stuck in his throat.
After a while, he said softly, “Okay, you have a good rest.”
When Bai Jianjun turned around and walked out, the door slowly closed.
Xie Luan, who was laying with her back facing Bai Jianjun, slowly shed a tear from the corner of her eye…
