Chapter 1288 Nan Yifeng's biological father
"Weiwei, are you really promising me?"
Nan Yifeng's eyes were sparkling with excitement and unconcealable joy, as bright and dazzling as the stars in the night sky.
At this moment, his eyes were like two burning flames, fixed tightly on Nan Weiwei's beautiful eyes, as if he was afraid of missing even the slightest change in expression on her face.
Nan Weiwei's pretty face, as delicate and beautiful as a peach blossom, instantly turned red with shame, and she looked as tempting and lovely as a ripe apple.
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Nan Yifeng's burning gaze. She just nodded gently, and responded softly in a voice as small as a mosquito but full of shyness:
"Well... then... let's find a suitable time to go back home and discuss this matter with Mom and Dad. After all, it's a big deal about marriage."
Hearing Nan Weiwei's gentle words, Nan Yifeng felt as if his heart was blown by a warm spring breeze, and he was immersed in a sea of happiness.
He couldn't help but nodded vigorously, and replied firmly and affectionately: "Okay! Everything is up to you."
Just when Nan Yifeng was filled with joy and wanted to confess some of his deepest love words to Nan Weiwei, a sudden cell phone ring rang without warning.
This sudden sound instantly broke the warm and romantic atmosphere between the two of them, and also abruptly interrupted the thousands of words that Nan Yifeng had just prepared.
Nan Yifeng looked at Nan Weiwei reluctantly, then slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket.
When he saw the caller number displayed on the screen, "It's Mom." Nan Yifeng said.
But after hanging up the phone, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and his expression gradually became solemn.
A bad premonition came to her mind, and Nan Weiwei's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"What's wrong?" Nan Weiwei saw this and couldn't help feeling a little worried, so she asked softly.
Nan Yifeng's originally calm face suddenly froze almost imperceptibly. The subtle change was almost imperceptible without careful observation, but Nan Weiwei beside him keenly captured this moment.
Nan Yifeng remained silent. Time seemed to freeze at this moment and the air around him became heavy.
After a long while, he finally seemed to have mustered up the courage, slowly opened his lips and whispered: "Well...my mother called just now...and said...my biological father...is coming back to China."
Hearing this, Nan Weiwei's eyes widened instantly, with an expression of disbelief on her face. She was so shocked that she almost cried out:
"What? Your biological father? But didn't your parents always tell us that your biological parents died while on a mission? How could this be possible?!"
Facing Nan Weiwei's rapid-fire questioning, Nan Yifeng gently shook his head, and a complex and indistinguishable emotion flashed across his eyes, which included confusion, bewilderment, and perhaps a hint of imperceptible expectation.
"It's not like that... My parents told me that because they wanted me to grow up peacefully. They didn't want me to have any psychological burden, and they didn't want me to feel like I was abandoned by my biological parents."
"In fact, my biological father went abroad many years ago. As for the specific reasons and details, I don't know. And about my mother... I also don't know what her current situation is. All these things were told to me by my parents."
"My parents told me that they wanted me to have the right to know and make my own decision."
Nan Weiwei,,,,,
"Over the years, I simply treated this so-called biological father as if he didn't exist at all and ignored all the news about him. After all, my current parents treat me as their own child, and the love they give me is no less than the love other biological parents give to their children. So, no matter what, I will cherish the family love I have now."
At this point, Nan Yifeng's tone became firm. He held Nan Weiwei's hand tightly, his eyes revealing firmness and determination:
"Weiwei, whether my biological father returns or not, it will not shake my deep and firm love for you and the solemn promise I made. I have already made up my mind to join hands with you to face the unknown future together."
"Whether it is rainy or sunny, whether it is good times or bad times, I will always be by your side. When difficulties come like a tide, I will not hesitate to extend my hands, hug you tightly, and protect you from the wind and rain; when joy fills our lives like bright stars, I will also accompany you with joy and share every beautiful moment together. I will not let my child, like me, be abandoned."
"In my heart, you are the unique and irreplaceable existence. The road of life is bumpy, but as long as you are by my side, I will have endless courage and strength to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. So, Weiwei, let us hold hands, connect hearts, and bravely move towards our beautiful tomorrow!"
"We shouldn't let irrelevant people spoil our fun."
Nan Weiwei stared at Nan Yifeng closely, and a hint of worry that was hard to conceal flashed across her beautiful eyes.
She opened her red lips and asked in a very gentle voice, "So... Yi Feng, what are your plans regarding our relationship? Do you want to tell him or continue to hide it? Or... does your father already know about our close relationship? In my opinion, he suddenly contacted my parents at this time, most likely because he came for our wedding."
Nan Yifeng sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
He understood Nan Weiwei's concerns and knew that he would have to face this matter sooner or later.
He lowered his head slightly, frowned slightly, and pursed his lips, and remained silent for a long time.
Time seemed to stand still, and the surroundings were so quiet that the only sound they could hear was each other's heavy breathing.
Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, looking at Weiwei with a somewhat evasive gaze. He opened his lips slightly and said in a slightly low and hoarse voice: "Weiwei, regarding this matter, I have never actually told you the specific details."
"Weiwei, my parents solemnly told me a story from the past that no one knows about. It turns out that my biological father and mother did not have much sincere feelings for each other back then. The reason they got married was entirely due to the pressure of marriage between the two major families. This marriage was full of considerations of interests from beginning to end, rather than the spark of love."
"According to my parents, at first, the relationship between my father and mother was very cold, and they lacked in-depth communication and emotional resonance. They were forced to be together only to protect the interests of the family. However, even so, when the older generation was still alive, out of respect for the elders and consideration for the family's face, my father still maintained a certain degree of respect for my mother on the surface. But this respect was more of a formality, not a love and care from the bottom of his heart."
"Time flies, and as time passes quietly, those respected and venerable elders in both families have passed away one by one. Life still goes on, but one day, this seemingly peaceful family is hit by a huge storm."
"That day, the sun cast tiny shadows through the mottled leaves, and the breeze gently blew the curtains. On such an ordinary and quiet afternoon, my father unexpectedly found my mother. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had made some kind of resolution."
"Facing my mother's puzzled look, my father took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly: "For so many years, they have been living a routine life, but now, he can't stand it anymore. He wants to lay the cards on the table with his mother and tell her everything in his heart."
"My biological mother listened quietly, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face. My father straightened up and continued without hesitation: "I have decided to give up everything I have now, because these things are meaningless to me. The only thing I want is to put down all the burdens and bravely pursue the dream that has been hidden in my heart for a long time."
At this point, the father paused for a moment, then looked at the mother with an expectant look and asked softly, "Do you know what my dream is?" The mother shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. At this time, the father raised his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile, and said loudly, "Haha, actually my dream is very simple, which is to become a musician!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell into a brief silence.
The mother widened her eyes and looked at the familiar yet strange man in front of her in disbelief.
She never thought that her husband, who was usually taciturn and hardworking, actually had such an unrealistic dream.
However, after a brief shock, a complex emotion gradually surged in the mother's heart...
Nan Yifeng had a bitter smile on his face, and that smile seemed to carry endless sadness and helplessness: "In my biological father's heart, my mother and I are simply insignificant, and can even be said to be dispensable."
Hearing this, Nan Weiwei's heart suddenly tightened. She quickly reached out and held Nan Yifeng's hand, saying softly: "Yifeng, don't say that. Although your biological father is so heartless, you still have me now! And you still have your parents, they have always loved us very much."
Nan Yifeng slowly raised his head, stared into Nan Weiwei's eyes full of concern, and said softly: "Weiwei, thank you for your comfort. In fact... I'm really fine, because I know that even without that so-called biological father, I still have you - my parents, and you. This is enough for me."
After saying this, he gently squeezed Nan Weiwei's palm.
Nan Weiwei could feel the pain hidden deep in Nan Yifeng's heart. Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily and finally slid down her cheeks.
She bit her lip, trying not to cry out loud, and just held Nan Yifeng's hand tightly, as if she wanted to give him more warmth and strength in this way.
"Weiwei, there are some things you may not know. Although from a legal perspective, my biological parents have not gone through the formal divorce procedures, but in reality? The relationship between them has long been broken, and the so-called husband-wife relationship is just a facade, which is no different from a real divorce!"
"Let's talk about our family's assets and me, his biological son. My cruel and heartless father didn't even look at them, as if they had nothing to do with him. Then, he left without looking back, abandoning all of them - the family assets and me, his own flesh and blood - without any nostalgia. In the end, he threw all of them to other relatives in our family."
When he said this, Nan Yifeng's originally bright and lively eyes gradually became dim, as if shrouded by a thick layer of haze.
He slowly lowered his head, his voice lowered, and continued, "My mother, because of various reasons caused by my father, was filled with disgust and dislike for me. Later, she mysteriously disappeared and has never been heard from since. All these years have passed, and I have never seen my so-called father again."
"To be honest, deep down in my heart, I don't have much affection for this man who has never fulfilled his responsibilities or given me care. It doesn't seem to matter to me whether he comes back or not. Anyway, I've long been accustomed to not having him in my world. However...if he really comes for our upcoming wedding, then even if I'm reluctant, I'm afraid I can't completely ignore him. After all, I really can't bear to see my parents feel embarrassed and worried because of this. If he wants to see me, I will see him. I will handle it myself and won't make my parents sad."
Nan Weiwei listened to Nan Yifeng's narration and couldn't help feeling a surge of pity in her heart.
She held Nan Yifeng's hand tightly and said gently, "Yifeng, I understand your difficulties. Let's face this together. No matter what his purpose is in coming back, we can't let him affect our relationship and wedding. I will always be by your side, supporting you and understanding you."
"Okay, then I'll talk to mom, and we'll go back to mom and dad tomorrow to discuss the engagement, how about that?"
