Xia Mengying listened, tears fell out and dripped on the lid of the cup of mung bean paste. She wiped it with her hands and then directly covered her face with her hands. After a while, her fingers became wet.

"Ning Ziqian, you are already in your thirties. You have been alone like this. Don't you think you are too selfish?"

Xia Mengying's lips were blocked by her hands, and her voice sounded a little blurry, but Ning Ziqian heard it clearly. He smiled and felt helpless, "Are you not selfish like my parents? Xia Mengying, I said, I must marry the woman I love, so I have been waiting for you."

The second year after Xia Mengying left, Ning Zhengan and Shen Yun began to arrange blind dates for him. In the past, he would have been perfunctory, but now, those girls, no matter what they said, he just heard them, and never saw them once.

After meeting Xia Mengying, every woman became a favor for him. The time she was with her was so happy that whenever she thought about living with other women, he would subconsciously reject her. Because of Xia Mengying's existence, he did not want to or dared to settle down. He was worried that he would lose the best of his favor.

Although grandpa was not in good health, he rarely went back because he didn't want to see Ning Fengyang. He didn't want to show dissatisfaction or even hatred towards Ning Fengyang in front of grandpa. He didn't want them to worry.

After that incident, Ning Zhengan drove Ning Fengyang out of the Ning family, but later because he was in poor health, Ning Fengyang begged to go back and take care of him every day.

"Ning Ziqian."

Xia Mengying pulled away the hand that blocked her face, with tears on her face. She felt so much sorry for Ning Zhengan and Shen Yun. Xia Mengying thought that if she had a chance, she would definitely take Tiao Tiao to see them. They all hoped that they would have great-grandsons and would be very happy to see Tiao Tiao.

Although she had thought about letting Tiaotiao and Ning Ziqian meet, it was just a meeting. Now, if Tiaotiao is willing, she wants the child to stay with her grandparents for a while.

"Don't wait for me, you can afford it, and grandparents and others can't."

She chose to lie to him, and even considered marrying Yan Siming in order to deceive the past. She was even ready to fulfill her wife's responsibilities and obligations.

Ning Ziqian is already thirty-four this year. With his success, he is not old at this age. He can choose any girl of 18 or 20 years old. Even if he is older, it doesn't matter, but grandparents and the others are not. They are about to be eighty and are in poor health now. Xia Mengying is really worried that she doesn't want them to worry about Ning Ziqian's affairs until they die.

Ning Ziqian, how could he do this?

"Do you think I haven't thought about it? Xia Mengying, have you ever thought about me when you said this?"

How could she push him at another woman?

"Many times, people are involuntarily in control, especially the heart, even if they are themselves, they cannot control them."

Ning Ziqian sighed, and had the urge to smoke. He reached out and touched his pocket. He was about to take out the things inside, but when he saw Xia Mengying sitting opposite him, he stuffed the things back.

When Xia Mengying heard this, she felt even more sad. She had been experiencing this feeling every day for the past five years. How could she not understand? It is because she is the same, so she is so painful now.

Yes, if you can control your own heart, maybe a lot of grief will not happen.

Xia Mengying lay on the table, and the pain, entanglement and struggle in her heart almost fainted.

"Ning Ziqian, we can't go back anymore, do you know? We can't do it anymore!"

Xia Mengying cried, crying so sadly. Even now, such facts will still make her feel very sad.

Time cannot go back, how could she and Ning Ziqian return to the past?

Ning Ziqian refused, held Xia Mengying's hand on the table, held it firmly, tightly in his palm, and asked unwillingly, "Why? What happened back then was just a misunderstanding. Xia Mengying, I know that you love me in your heart, just like I love you, why can't we be together? Just because you got married? Why do you want to get married? But it doesn't matter, you can get divorced, I can wait for you to get divorced."

Ning Ziqian didn't expect that a joke from the past has become true now, and he didn't expect that he could say such a thing.

"Xia Mengying, can't you come back to me?"

Ning Ziqian was also lying on the table. Although Xia Mengying couldn't see it, his eyes still fell on her. Such urgent desire could almost burn people. His usual cold tone was stained with a strong plea at this moment.

Xia Mengying tried to break free from his holding his hand, but she failed. She looked up, and the tears on her face made her look very embarrassed, and her vision was still blurred. Before the crying stopped completely, she shook her head, "No."

That not very clear tone could almost make Ning Ziqian desperately serious.

"Ning Ziqian, I'm not a fool. I guessed that there were misunderstandings when I left, but I left anyway. Don't you understand? The reason I chose to leave was not entirely because of those misunderstandings, but other things."

When she was caught by Xia Xiaoxue, she looked at the photos and believed her words, because the person was Ye Shiqian. But later, she gradually calmed down and found that something was strange. But she did not go into it, because she knew that Fang Jingyi's death would be a pain that would never heal between them. For this relationship, especially Ning Ziqian, she sent too much trust and dependence. It was precisely because of this whole-hearted dedication that she could not tolerate such a big flaw between the two. She was uncertain whether such regret would cause greater conflicts in the future of the two, because she knew that because of her mother's death, she was not only blaming herself, but also blaming Ning Ziqian, so she chose to leave. The child who died at birth made her unable to forgive Ning Ziqian. At that time, she had already firmly determined that she would not be with him.

Once upon a time, they did have great happiness, but they also suffered great pain from each other.

"Love will not make two people grow old together. Her power is too limited. To grow old together, it requires responsibility and effort. Men are responsible and women are giving. But Ning Ziqian, I face you now and I don't have the strength to give. Because of this relationship, I am exhausted and hurt all over. I am tired and I don't want to continue at all."

Because of love, she had too high demands on Ning Ziqian and even harshly. As for Si Ming, she knew that there were his reasons for that incident, but she could talk and laugh with him because that person was not the man she loved deeply, so she could be tolerant.

Ning Ziqian was very upset when he heard this. He finally couldn't help but take out the cigarette and lighter, and then sucked it in front of Xia Mengying.

Every time he misses Xia Mengying, he can't help smoking. Five years have made him addicted to this kind of nerve-paralying nicotine.

"Ning Ziqian."

Xia Mengying looked at the curling smoke rings in Ning Ziqian's hand, screamed in distress, and then began to cry helplessly. She wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say. She was not used to this feeling and smell. Xia Mengying couldn't help but cough a few times, and then tears flowed faster. Seeing this, Ning Ziqian hurriedly pinched off the cigarette in her hand.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment."

Xia Mengying pursed her lips, "Smoking is not good for her health."

Ning Ziqian just laughed sarcastically, "Who cares?"

Xia Mengying's heart instantly felt like it was blocked by cotton, and she couldn't speak.

She cares, she will feel heartbroken!

Xia Mengying didn't say anything anymore, and looked at Ning Ziqian with those heartbroken eyes. Ning Ziqian did not smoke anymore, and played with a lighter. Neither of them spoke. This silence lasted for a long time. Xia Mengying's cell phone on the table suddenly rang. It was Fang Jingyi's call. Xia Mengying thought of Tiao Tiao and picked it up.

"Hello."

As soon as Xia Mengying said something, Tiaotiao's anxious voice came from over there, "Mengmeng, Tiaotiao's stomach is damaged, and now he is in the hospital."
