"Then why didnât you come to find me!" Ye Yang was somewhat angry at this moment. He sent Xiaoxi back to her room, looking as if he was about to confront Song Jiaqi, "If it were someone else, maybe itâd be different, but that man was me! If you wanted to find me, would it be difficult?"
Yes, if it were others, maybe it would indeed be difficult to find him, but Ye Yang, a major celebrity, couldnât be hard to find, right?
If she wanted to find him, it would have been easy.
"Why didnât you come to ask me to take responsibility!"
"Responsibility for what..." Song Jiaqi smiled helplessly, "Was what happened back then your fault? It had nothing to do with you in the first place, what right do I have to ask you to be responsible?"
"What a joke! Am I, Ye Yang, that kind of person? Someone who wouldnât take responsibility for his own child? If something like this happens, how could I possibly ignore you and our daughter?"
For seven years, she raised Xiaoxi all by herself, enduring so much criticism!
She clearly knew that if she just contacted him, she wouldnât have had to struggle this hard!
He is a superstar, some things are even harder for him to escape; having a child, even if there were questions about his character, public opinion would be enough for her to use as leverage, yet she...
"I didnât know what kind of person you were then," Song Jiaqi thought back to her thoughts from those years, "How was I supposed to know you wouldnât hand over a sum of money and force me to abort the child? How was I supposed to know if I insisted on keeping the baby, you wouldnât think I was trying to threaten you with something? I really didnât think too much, there was nothing between us, I didnât want to threaten you, nor did I want to get anything from you."
Her concerns werenât baseless.
"But Iâm still the father of the child!"
"Father..." Song Jiaqi smiled, "Iâm not worthy... You are the young master of the Ye Family and a big star, how could I dare to reach so high... If Xiaoxi hadnât become your devoted fan, insisting to be your assistant, we wouldnât have had any connection in this life, let alone telling you about Xiaoxiâs identity like now."
"Fine, letâs not count the past, but from today on, letâs raise Xiaoxi together. I will give her the best things this world has to offer and spend the second half of my life making up for what I owe you both."
"No need for that..." Song Jiaqi smiled, "Ye Yang, you donât owe us. What happened wasnât your fault, nor was it your responsibility."
"No, I do. Since fate decided Xiaoxi should exist, then I must take on this responsibility."
"Now you certainly want to," Song Jiaqi laughed, "before, I didnât tell you because I was afraid youâd try to take the child away from me. Now..."
"Now youâre not afraid anymore?" Ye Yangâs stern expression eased as he laughed, "So this means youâre ready to marry me?"
Song Jiaqi widened her eyes and huffed, "Who said anything about marrying you!"
"Thereâs no need to talk about DNA testing, since Xiaoxi is my daughter, sheâs undoubtedly my daughter, I donât need to prove it to the world."
Song Jiaqi was surprised, "Butâ"
"I have an even better way to prove it." He smiled slightly as he said that.
"What way?"
When Ye Yang took out a small red box from his pocket, Song Jiaqi was stunned, could this be...
He opened it, knelt down on one knee, and inside the ring box was a shiny ring.
Ye Yang looked at her affectionately and said, "Jiaqi, marry me. Although we havenât been in love for long, once I, Ye Yang, set my heart on someone, it wonât change. I know my feelings, and I want to seize this opportunity to propose to you."
