Chapter 4

uldn't take it. I don't want to have a life where I can spend money but not my life.""Don't you fear, that if they leave, our Xiong family won't let you go either" Xiong Bo said with a threatening fac...Chapter 4

With this sound of my return, Qin Xi woke from her astonishment. Her stunning features gradually grew cold.

Yang Chen clearly saw the expression on Qin Xi's face change from astonishment to stupor, and finally to intense hatred.

Five years ago, the two were framed. For the sake of reputation, Yang Chen's family forced him to marry into the Qin family, while Qin Xi was a woman who valued chastity above life and accepted all this.

But she never expected that less than a month after their marriage, Yang Chen would suddenly disappear. It wasn't until her mother told her that this man had taken the 500,000 yuan given to him by her father.

Just then, she discovered that she was pregnant.

Later, taking advantage of her days after childbirth, the Qin family seized her self-founded Sanhe Group, claiming she had brought shame to the family.

Thinking of those dark days, countless nights she secretly shed tears. Qin Xi filled with hatred for this man who left without a word.

"If you were dead, I would have accepted it, but you disappeared for five years and then reappeared before me, exposing the scars of my past. Are you happy"

Qin Xi cried out in agony, as if to release all the pent-up emotions she had suppressed over the years.

Looking at his beloved woman in pain, Yang Chen's heart was torn apart.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry!"

Yang Chen stepped forward, his face full of sincerity. Besides apologizing, he didn't know what else to say.

"Five years ago, why did you leave without a word" Qin Xi lightly bit her red lips and stared intently at Yang Chen.

"I want to be worthy of you!" Looking at the stunning beauty so close, Yang Chen responded resolutely. Before his return this time, he had vowed that he would never let the woman in front of him suffer even a shred of harm.

"Hmph!"

Qin Mu suddenly let out a cold snort, sarcastically looking at Yang Chen: "You're making things sound much sweeter than they actually were. Back then, you were the one who actively approached Lao Qin and said that if Lao Qin gave you 500,000 yuan, you would never see Xiao Xi again."

Yang Chen immediately denied: "I didn't!"

A breathtaking gleam flashed in his pupils, and Qin Mu knew she was accusing him falsely.

Qin Mu sneered repeatedly: "No Then let me ask you, five years ago, didn't Old Qin give you 500,000 yuan"

Yang Chen explained: "I borrowed 500,000 yuan from my father-in-law, but I didn't use it. The next day, I returned all of it to my father-in-law."

"Fart! After you took the money, you disappeared completely, and until today, I've only just seen you. When are you going to return my money" Qin's father immediately denied it.

She followed her husband, not giving Yang Chen a chance to explain, determined to pin the crime of getting money from him onto him.

Slap!

Qin Xi raised her hand and slapped Yang Chen, pointing at the door, her voice trembling with anger: "Get out! Get out of here!"

"Wow..."

The little girl who had been nestled in Yang Chen's arms burst into tears: "Mom, don't ask Dad to leave. Other kids have dads, but I don't. I want a dad, Mom, please don't ask Dad to leave! Don't make him go!"

The little girl was crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. She clung tightly to Yang Chen's neck with both hands, afraid that if she let go, she would never see her father again.

Qin Xi suddenly panicked and, forgetting to continue blaming Yang Chen, hurriedly hugged her daughter, holding her tightly in her arms and repeatedly saying, "Mommy won't drive Daddy away, won't drive Daddy away, Xiao Xiao don't cry, don't cry."

She spoke, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. No matter how much she hated this man, he was still her daughter's father. For her daughter, she was willing to do anything, endure anything.

"Daddy, Mommy has already promised Xiaoxiao that she won't chase you away, so will you promise Xiaoxiao that you'll never leave Mommy and Xiaoxiao again, okay" Xiaoxiao said to Yang Chen while crying and eagerly looking at him.

The conversation between the mother and daughter was soft, but to Yang Chen's ears, it sounded like a thunderbolt, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

At first sight of Xiao Xiao at the airport, Yang Chen found that her features resembled his own. Xiao Xiao was about four years old. All these signs pointed to Yang Chen that Xiao Xiao was his biological daughter!

Could it be that... because of what happened five years ago, Xiao Xiao was born

Ten months of pregnancy, today is XiaoXiao's fourth birthday again. Adding it up, she's almost five years old, perfectly matching the time since I left.

The more Yang Chen thought about it, the more shocked he became. Suddenly, he quickly walked forward and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman with teary eyes, trembling as he asked, “She, is she our daughter”

Qin Xi's face was conflicted, and after a long silence, she nodded. As the child's father, he had the right to know the truth.

Although Yang Chen had guessed it, he was still incredibly excited when Qin Xi personally confirmed it.

The God of War, at this moment, shed tears. There was guilt and remorse within them.

Yang Chen suddenly hugged his daughter tightly, whispering in her ear: "Dad promises you, for the rest of our lives, I will never leave you and Mom again."

Though the voice was soft, it resonated with power. Those who make promises are not easily persuaded; when they do, it is for a lifetime.

"Let go of my granddaughter!"

Just at this heartwarming moment, Qin's mother took three quick steps forward and snatched XiaoXiao from Yang Chen's hands.

Yang Chen was afraid of hurting the child, so he could only give up the fight.

A surge of anger welled up in him, but when he saw his daughter and thought of Qin Xi's nine months of pregnancy culminating in a single day of labor, and the years she had spent alone bearing the weight of rumors and humiliation, Yang Chen suppressed his rage.

"Xiaoxi, I know you're soft-hearted, but this time, your father and I will absolutely not watch you jump into the fire pit again."

Qin's mother's face was filled with anger, and she immediately pointed at the gold and silver jewelry piled on the table: "This is the dowry Wang Jian brought. Your father and I have already accepted it for you. Now you just go through the divorce procedures with this useless person, and then get ready to marry Wang Jian."

Before the couple even uttered the word "divorce," Qin's mother had already begun scheming to arrange a second marriage for Qin Xi.

If it weren't for his wife and daughter, he would have done it already.

"Wow..."

Xiao Xiao cried again: “Grandma, don’t drive Dad away, I want Dad, don’t drive Dad away.”

Although the little girl was still young, she could understand Qin Mother's words and burst into tears again. This made Yang Chen, a new father, feel heartbroken.

Qin Mu's face was full of impatience, and she scolded coldly, "Qin Xiaoxiao, shut your mouth! Your father is already dead, he is not your father, if you cry again, I will lock you in the dark room."

Qin Xiaoxiao's body trembled visibly. She didn't dare to cry out again, she could only stifle it, only gasp and weep silently, her pitiful appearance looking from Qin Xi to Yang Chen.

Seeing his daughter so afraid, Yang Chen knew that Qin's mother must have locked her up before.

The anger in his heart surged instantly, and at this moment, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.laces.For a whole day, Xiaoxiao's mouth couldn't close shut and she just kept smiling. Qin Xi had never seen Xiaoxiao so happy before.She stood at a distance, watching Yang Chen and Xiao Xiao riding t...
