Chapter 538 Please, you must not give up easily.

Lu Yuanqiu shook his head and sighed, placing the peeled shrimp one by one on Bai Qingxia's plate. Aunt Zhang smiled at this scene and continued to feed her daughter. Bai Qingxia, who was feeding her father, reached out to pick up some food. Seeing Lu Yuanqiu's heartwarming gesture, she smiled and quickly said, "Eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Lu Yuanqiu sighed again: "I'd rather starve myself than let you starve."

After saying that, he wiped his hands with a tissue and urged, "Eat quickly."

"You eat too." Bai Qingxia casually fed her father, then picked up a shrimp and offered it to Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu opened his mouth and took a bite, muttering to himself, "Mmm, it tastes so good when you peel it yourself~"

Bai Qingxia laughed after hearing this, and then picked up another finger to feed Lu Yuanqiu. This time, Lu Yuanqiu deliberately bit her finger. Although Lu Yuanqiu didn't bite hard, Bai Qingxia still frowned and let out a soft "ah". She looked at Aunt Zhang, who quickly lowered her head. Bai Qingxia was also a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and ate her meal while feeding her father, awkwardly crossing her legs.

As she put down her bowl, Bai Qingxia seemed to remember something and took a deep breath, her chest heaving. She looked up and saw Lu Yuanqiu serving her food, so she quickly smiled and handed him the bowl, her eyes crinkling as she looked at him.

Looking at the smile on his daughter's face, perhaps because of the bond of blood, Bai Songzhe seemed to sense other complex emotions behind that smile. His dazed eyes moved again, as if he wanted to say something to his daughter at this moment.

Bai Qingxia took a tissue and wiped Bai Songzhe's mouth before continuing to feed her father. At that moment, her expression changed, and she noticed something strange, because Bai Songzhe's gaze began to focus on her.

"Dad?" the girl tried calling out.

Bai Songzhe did not respond, but looked deeply at Bai Qingxia. If you looked closely, you would find that there was emotion in his eyes, an emotion of heartache.

After finishing lunch and saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, Bai Qingxia looked back at her father sitting on the chair outside the door. After a while, probably realizing that her father wouldn't talk to her, she turned around, lowered her head, and walked towards home.

Get well soon, Dad.

I'm already working hard, you should too!

Your daughter has never admitted defeat, so please don't admit defeat easily either.

—Because summer is a vibrant and colorful season, I hope my daughter can be like summer, bright and beautiful, and full of vitality and joy. Since you like the character "qing" (清), I will add "xia" (夏) to the end, so I named her Bai Qingxia (白清夏). What do you think?
Bai Songzhe turned around, holding the baby in his arms. He held the child carefully, yet he looked like a handsome and dashing poet, smiling as he gazed at the woman lying on the hospital bed.

The beautiful woman nodded gently, and began to murmur a word softly, her voice slightly weak: "Summer, summer like a profusion of flowers... How wonderful, I hope our little princess can grow up healthy and happy..."

……

Zheng Yifeng packed his luggage, opened his younger brother's room door and peeked in. He found his brother sleeping soundly during his afternoon nap, so he didn't disturb him.

Ye Hui, dressed in her pajamas, walked over and, seeing Zheng Yifeng heading towards the door, asked, "Are you sure you don't need a driver to take you home?"

"No need, I'm taking the high-speed train with my friend."

Zheng Yifeng seemed to remember something and turned around to say, "Mom, Second Uncle transferred one million to me, and I transferred it to your account."

Ye Hui was slightly taken aback. She took out her phone and looked at the text message. She said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Actually...actually, Mom and her friends opened a beauty salon these past two years. It's enough to support both of you. We don't need to ask your second uncle for money anymore."

Zheng Yifeng put down his suitcase and said to Ye Hui, "Second Uncle said this is what Dad owes you." Ye Hui stared at Zheng Yifeng without saying a word, then turned her head away after a moment, her eyes reddening.

Yesterday, Zheng Yifeng was cleaning the room with his stepmother when he unexpectedly discovered a photo of her from when she was young. It was a picture of her wearing a dress and standing on the podium to receive an award.

Zheng Yifeng didn't follow entertainment news, so he learned that his stepmother used to be a star, a popular young actress today. She gave up her fledgling career to stay at home as a housewife for his father.

No wonder my stepmother is so beautiful, no wonder she loves to dress up. She has dedicated her youth to such a philandering and despicable man, she must have some grievances in her heart.

Ye Hui took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. She composed herself and said to Zheng Yifeng, "I will transfer the money to you. You can either keep it or return it to your second uncle. In short, Mom has money. She has money to take care of you two brothers, money to help you get married, pay your dowry, and hold your wedding."

She smiled after she finished speaking, but her eyes were still red.

Zheng Yifeng looked at her, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

“It’s not hard work, it’s worth it. My son is so smart, so handsome, and so promising.”

Ye Hui responded while wiping away her tears.

Zheng Yifeng walked over, opened his arms and hugged her. Ye Hui raised her head, smiled happily, and hugged Zheng Yifeng tightly.

“I just realized how tall you’ve grown. When we first met, you were so small, not even as big as your little brother is now. But you were much more talkative back then…” Ye Hui choked up again as she said this, “I’m sorry, Fengfeng, it’s all my fault, it’s all Mom’s fault. I shouldn’t have treated you like that. You deserve a better childhood…”

Tears streamed down Zheng Yifeng's face. He suddenly smiled and said gently, "No, you gave me a childhood that my father never gave me. You have always been a good mother, always have been."

Hearing Zheng Yifeng's words, Ye Hui burst into tears. Zheng Yifeng gently closed his younger brother's room door and then patted his stepmother's shoulder to comfort her.

On the high-speed train back, Lu Yuanqiu led Bai Qingxia to their seats. He looked at Zheng Yifeng, Zhong Jincheng, and Cao Shuang and said with a smile, "Perfect timing, didn't the three of you buy a row of seats?"

The three of them sat obediently in a row, but Zhong Jincheng insisted on sitting on the outermost side, so Cao Shuang had to switch seats with him. Zheng Yifeng remained by the window.

After Cao Shuang sat down, he suddenly let out a long breath. Zheng Yifeng turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I came back in such a hurry that I didn't get to see Xiaoyueyue," Cao Shuang replied with a look of regret.

Zheng Yifeng smiled. Just then, his phone rang. He took it out to check and found that his stepmother had transferred the money to him and sent a text message.

[Mom: Keep it up and win over Teacher Su!]

Zheng Yifeng responded with a smile and said "Okay".
