Contract Wife: CEO, Please Be Gentle - C301
After staying at the inn for around two to three days, Ling Xiaosu finally could not take it anymore. He wanted to go out several times, but was stopped by Ling Anan.
Three days later, Ling Xiaosu finally stopped Ling Anan when he went to her room at night.
Ling Anan stood in front of Ling Xiaosu with his weak mind and lifeless eyes. He whispered: “Xiaoxiao, why are you stopping me? It’s time for you to go to bed. ”
Ling Xiaosu fixed his eyes on Ling Anan and pursed his lips. After a few moments of hesitation in his heart, he finally spoke: “Ling Anan, let me ask you, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”
Ling Anan revealed a powerless smile and changed the topic, “How could I possibly hide anything from you? You are my daughter, I would never hide anything from you.”
“Then why did you bring me to C City?” Ling Xiaosu forced the question out, his eyes filled with doubt, “From the moment we arrived at City C, you kept on saying ‘that person, do not let that person discover my existence’. I am very curious, who exactly is the person you are talking about?”
Hearing Ling Xiaosu’s questions, Ling Anan’s body trembled for a moment. His eyes were no longer lifeless, but filled with fear.
“Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?” Only after a long while did Ling Anan manage to utter those words.
Ling Xiaosu frowned, he took a step forward and placed both hands on Ling Anan’s shoulders. This movement of his actually made Ling Anan let out a loud cry of fear, and his body kept trembling uncontrollably.
Ling Xiaosu lowered his voice, eased his tone, and asked softly: “Can you hide something from me? I don’t want to be kept in the dark forever. ” She didn’t want to be surrounded by the feeling of knowing nothing, but feeling uneasy.
Ling Anan quietly looked at Ling Xiaosu, and Ling Xiaosu also looked at Ling Anan in this way. After a long while, Ling Xiaosu finally felt that Ling Anan’s body was no longer trembling, and the fear and dread in his eyes slightly faded, his emotions slowly calming down.
“Do you really want to know?” Ling Anan asked with a face that seemed to have made some sort of decision.
Ling Xiaosu nodded his head, “I want to know, I don’t want to keep being the one who was kept in the dark. Since you brought me here, then I have the right to know.”
Ling Anan looked at Ling Xiaosu who looked like he absolutely had to know something, and his heart seemed to have compromised. His shoulders sagged and his body relaxed as he said, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything you want to know, only …” I just hope you won’t resent me when you know the truth.
Ling Xiaosu looked at Ling Anan firmly. It was unknown why she had an intuition that if Ling Anan told her everything that she knew, it would be a very big secret.
Ling Anan gently released Ling Xiaosu’s hand that was grabbing onto his shoulder. His pale face revealed a bitter smile, and he said in a weak voice: “Since you want to know, then I don’t want to continue hiding this from you either.”
Ling Xiaosu held his breath, his heart nervously listening to what Ling Anan had to say.
“Didn’t you ask me when you were a child why you didn’t have a father?” Ling Anan raised his head and looked at Ling Xiaosu. His eyes seemed to recall a scene as his mouth revealed traces of a gentle smile.
Ling Xiaosu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and looked at Ling Anan in shock. He opened his mouth wide, and said in shock: “Are you saying …”
“Yes, I lied to you. Your father didn’t die. I kept lying to you that your father was dead.” Ling Anan said guiltily to Ling Xiaosu: “At that time, I had no choice but to lie to you, but Xiao Xiao, you must believe that I had always loved you, and I was forced to do this.”
If you knew about my mother’s past, or you would understand me. Ling Anan silently said in his heart.
Ling Xiaosu opened his mouth wide in disbelief, he wanted to ask something in his heart, but when he opened his mouth wide, the words inside could not come out.
In the next two hours, Ling Xiaosu swore that he had never heard such shocking news, and Ling Anan seemed to have revealed an important secret that he had hidden in his heart, revealing a look of relief.
It took a while for Ling Xiaosu to digest the shocking news that Ling Anan had brought her. She could not believe that her father, who she had thought was no longer alive since young, was actually still alive.
“So, so my biological father is still alive? He’s not dead at all? ” Ling Xiaosu felt extremely dizzy, he was still in the midst of the shock of the news that his father was still alive.
“Why didn’t you tell me? “Why are you hiding this from me?” While talking, Ling Xiaosu actually had a feeling that something was stuck in his throat, and his tears almost fell.
Ling Anan looked at Ling Xiaosu’s stunned appearance, and his heart felt even guiltier. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you, Xiaoxiao.” She also had her own difficulties.
“But father is someone who has been absent from my life for more than twenty years. When I was young, I really thought that my father had died just like that, because I’ve never even seen him.”
With that, Ling Xiaosu laughed bitterly, his eyes turning red. He never thought that Ling Anan would actually hide such a huge secret from her, and for so long.
“That’s not it Xiaoxiao. Listen to my explanation!” Ling Anan shouted loudly in panic: “I also have a secret that cannot be told, so, so …”
Ling Anan pursed her lips, the dark matters that were buried deep within her heart was hard to voice out. It was the most frightening part of her past.
Ever since she escaped from the clutches of that devil, she didn’t want to talk about that part of the dark past. She didn’t expect that after ten years, her own daughter would bring up this part of the past.
Ling Anan took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at Ling Xiaosu again. His tone did not contain the excitement from before, as he said, “I also have a difficult problem that I can’t say, so can you not ask me, Xiaoxiao? If you ever want to know everything, I’ll tell you at the right time, but don’t ask me now. ”
Seeing Ling Anan’s troubled expression, Ling Xiaosu could no longer speak. He reached his mouth to pat Ling Anan’s back, leaned his head on Ling Anan’s shoulder, and choked: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry …”
“It’s nothing, Xiaoxiao.” Ling Anan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiaosu hugged Ling Anan, gritted his teeth, and spoke with hesitation: “I won’t continue asking, but can I … can I go back once?”
