The figure in front of him froze again.

As if because he heard the name "Jing Li", he tried hard to lift his feet and walk forward, but his body refused to obey.

Huo Qiran stood behind him, watching his figure struggle several times, and finally turned around as if resigned to his fate.

Perhaps because he had just fallen, he walked a little unsteadily, almost limping back to Huo Qiran, looked at him, and said in a hoarse voice: "How did you know it was me? You investigated me,

Or is she..."

Even though the two people were so close, Huo Qiran still couldn't see him clearly, but she still answered him patiently: "You called her twice. The first one hung up without getting through, and the second one hung up.

After the connection was made, you did not speak."

The eyes of the man in front of me were almost frozen.

"Under such circumstances, it is actually very difficult to guess who you are. But it may be the connection between relatives. She did not take these two phone calls to heart at first, but she would wake up in her sleep in the middle of the night...

"Huo Qiran said, "She called you back, but you refused to answer, so she thought it was her wishful thinking."

The lips of the person opposite moved, but no sound came out.

Huo Qiran saw what he wanted to ask.

"I thought this number was a bit strange, so I asked someone to check it and came here." Huo Qiran said, "Before this, Jing Li had hardly told me about you, so I'm not sure whether you are hers or not."

Dad, I didn’t tell her in advance."

When he heard that he didn't tell Jing Li, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed and returned to a dead silence.

He nodded slowly and murmured: "Yes, don't tell her, don't tell her..."

Huo Qiran finally determined what his worries were.

What he was worried about was actually letting Jing Li know about his existence?

"Why?" Huo Qiran looked at him, "Do you know how hard it was for Jingli to survive in the years when you just disappeared? She thought that she had no father or mother, so she had to bear everything by herself. But

It turns out that she still has a father?"

Huo Qiran rarely said such words to others, not to mention that the person in front of him was Jing Li's father.

He knew clearly that he should have difficulties or other concerns, but he just couldn't help it.

Jing Li's life in those years was so heart-wrenching that he still felt sad when he thought about it now.

He couldn't experience that kind of pain personally, let alone imagine how much she had endured, yet she could still smile like a flower forever.

"Yes, I don't deserve to be a father, let alone her father..." He still murmured, "So, don't tell her, just let her think I'm dead. That's good, that's good..."

Huo Qiran only thought it was ridiculous, "You are obviously alive, but you want her to think you are dead? She can obviously have the love of her father, but she must bear the pain of losing her father and mother?"

"Yes..." Jing Yanting seemed to have accepted this truth, "Don't let her know about me. I can't give her love. I can't give her any love. Just treat me as if I don't exist in the world.

Dead...please, don't let her know about me."

After saying this, Jing Yanting turned around and walked towards the blue door again.

Huo Qiran never expected that this meeting would end like this. He stood there for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened completely, then he turned around and got into his car, started the car, and left here.

Huo Qiran did not go home, but drove to Huai'an Painting Hall.

Mu Qian was very busy that day and was still in meetings at this time. The meeting finally ended after all the meeting agendas were discussed.

Mu Qian opened the door and walked into her office, and saw her son sitting on the sofa, frowning, thinking about something absently.

Hearing the noise, Huo Qiran came back to his senses and looked up at Mu Qian, but his expression still did not soften.

"What's going on?" Mu Qian pulled up her chair and sat back behind her desk, "Don't tell me that you had a fight with your girlfriend and you came here to show me your face?"

"Mom." When Huo Qiran called her, her voice was hoarse. "Under what circumstances would a parent be willing to abandon his child?"

"Isn't this simple?" Mu Qian said without raising his head, "First, he is worried that his children will harm him, and second, he is afraid that he will harm his children."

Huo Qiran was quiet for a moment and then asked again: "What kind of father do you think Jing Li will be?"

Mu Qian suddenly raised her head.

"Jing Li's father?" Mu Qian was still a little surprised, "He showed up? Does Jing Li know?"

Huo Qiran shook his head.

"You met him? How did you know him?"

Huo Qiran told what happened.

Mu Qian listened to the whole story and slowly sat back in the chair, "Is this all the information Uncle Yao gave you?"

Huo Qiran nodded.

Mu Qian asked again: "Did he contact Jing Li after your relationship with Jing Li became known to the public?"

It's not that Huo Qiran has never thought about this, he just doesn't want to think deeply about it, "Mom, what do you mean?"

"I have never been afraid to judge people's hearts with the greatest malice." Mu Qian said, "But I have to admit that some things in this world can just happen by coincidence."

Huo Qiran fell into silence again. Mu Qian turned her head and glanced at him, "Are you wondering whether to tell Jing Li?"

Huo Qiran nodded.

"No matter what situation her father is in, I'm afraid she will be sad." Huo Qiran said.

Mu Qian nodded, and then said: "Before considering this, why not think about it first, no matter what choice you make, no matter what happens in the future, will Jing Li blame you because of your choice?"

Huo Qiran couldn't help but pause.

Mu Qian laughed slowly and said, "Don't worry, in my opinion, Jing Li is much stronger and braver than you."

…

Late at night, Huaishi.

After Jing Li finished translating a manuscript, she immediately walked to the bed and looked at her phone.

He hasn't responded to the message she sent to Huo Qiran before.

Could it be that he was too tired and fell asleep?

Jing Li thought so and stared at her phone for a while before standing up and walking into the bathroom.

When she came out after taking a shower and drying her hair, there was a message on her phone, from Huo Qiran——

"Change and wait for me."

Jing Li looked at the two words from twenty minutes ago and was about to ask him what he was waiting for when Huo Qiran's call came in.

"I'm at the door, open the door."

Jing Li walked to the door in surprise, opened the door, and saw Huo Qiran standing outside the door, breathing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Her heart suddenly started to beat wildly, and she felt as if something had happened, but she didn't dare to think deeply about it.
