His eyes grew dim, as if he was in deep self-blame. He clutched his hair tightly with both hands, and his body trembled slightly.

I kept thinking in my heart: "Qinyi, don't you know that no matter what happens, I want to bear it with you?"

At this moment, the doorbell outside Hanhai Huating suddenly rang. The crisp bell sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet room, like a flash of lightning breaking through the silent night sky.

"Xiao Li'er is here!" Liu Tongguo's eyes lit up, and his originally dull look instantly became bright, like a drowning man seeing a driftwood. He rushed to the door in one step, as fast as a gust of wind.

Liu Duan seemed to be injected with a bit of vitality. He quickly jumped up from the sofa and walked over to take the door control in two steps. His fingers trembled slightly due to nervousness, and he almost pressed the wrong button when he pressed the door control button.

Liu Tongguo couldn't wait to stand by the door. He grasped the door handle with his big hand and pulled it hard. The door was opened with a "bang". He moved so quickly as if he was afraid that the person would run away.

After a while, Fengli came up with a man. Fengli was smiling, walking briskly, and talking to the people around him from time to time.

The man was wearing a neat suit, every wrinkle looked as if it had been carefully trimmed, and his leather shoes were so shiny that they reflected light.

He was carrying an exquisite leather bag in his hand and walked with his head held high, looking very capable.

"Who is this..." Liu Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, his look full of doubt. He tilted his head, looked at the man, frowned slightly, and felt like a deer running around in his heart, guessing the man's purpose.

"Oh, I'm Miss Qin Yi's attorney. I want to talk to Mr. Liu Duan about something!"

The lawyer smiled with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and his eyes were gentle and firm.

He introduced himself politely, his voice steady and powerful, every word sounding like it was carefully considered.

"Oh, I'm his father, please come in!" Liu Tongguo enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, his face full of smiles and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"I just happened to meet the lawyer at the door." Feng Li explained as she walked in and closed the door. The movement of closing the door was very gentle, without making any sound.

When Liu Duan heard that it was Qin Yi's attorney who came, his heart skipped a beat, as if a huge rock had suddenly smashed into the calm surface of a lake.

His face turned pale in an instant, his lips slightly opened, his eyes widened, and he stood there blankly.

But soon he came to his senses and hurriedly stood up to greet him, his eyes fixed on the lawyer with expectation and a hint of fear in his eyes. His feet seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step he took seemed extremely difficult.

"Please take a seat, lawyer! What's your name?" Liu Duan tried hard to calm himself. He took a deep breath and forced a smile with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but that smile was uglier than crying.

His voice was a little dry and trembling slightly. He wiped his hands on his pants unconsciously, and his palms were full of sweat.

"Excuse me, my name is Chen!" Lawyer Chen responded with a smile and elegant manner.

He nodded slightly, his eyes showing confidence, and walked to the sofa with steady steps, sat down gently, put the briefcase beside him, put his legs together, and placed his hands on his knees.

"Hello, Lawyer Chen! Doesn't my wife have anything to say to me? Why doesn't she want to talk to me?"

Liu Duan's voice was trembling, with a hint of pleading. His lips were trembling slightly, and his eyes were red.

His hands were clenched tightly together, his knuckles turned white, his body leaned forward, and he stared at the lawyer without blinking, as if his eyes could see through the lawyer.

Feng Li quietly brewed hot tea. He carefully picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cups. The hot water poured into the cups, steaming. He walked over with a few cups of tea. "Lawyer Chen, please have some tea!"

He spoke softly with a gentle smile on his face, and placed the teacup on the table next to the lawyer. He did so gently that no sound was made.

"Oh, thank you!" Lawyer Chen took the teacup and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

He pinched the handle of the teacup with two fingers, shook it gently, then put it under his nose to smell the tea, then put the cup on the table and leisurely took out a letter from his briefcase.

The letter looked ordinary, but in Liu Duan's eyes, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. When he took out the letter, his movements were very solemn, as if he was performing a sacred ceremony.

"Brother Duanduan, have some tea!" Feng Li placed the porcelain cup in front of Liu Duan, patted his shoulder, her eyes full of concern.

"Okay, thank you!" Liu Duan responded casually, but his eyes were fixed on the envelope in the lawyer's hand, as if he wanted to see through it. His breathing became rapid, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Lawyer Chen handed over the envelope, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness. He frowned slightly and looked at Liu Duan intently: "This is the letter that Miss Qin Yi entrusted me to give you!"

Liu Duan quickly reached out to take the envelope, his hands trembling slightly, as if he had been electrocuted. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

He couldn't wait to open the envelope, but his fingers were clumsy due to nervousness and he almost tore the envelope several times.

He began to read, his eyes quickly scanning the letter, his lips trembling slightly, his body swaying slightly, and his heart fluctuating with the contents of the letter.

Dear Duanqiu:

When you open this letter, I seem to see your familiar and warm face. I hope everything is well with you. I hope you can still be as happy as usual in the days without me. This is my most sincere wish.

You know what? In my mind, a family is like a puzzle, and children are the most important piece.

For a single-child family like ours, the child means even more to us. A family without a child is like losing its soul and always feels incomplete.

Every day I am with you, I long for a child of our own, which is the fruit of our love!

However, fate seems to have played a cruel joke on me. As your wife, I have never been able to realize this seemingly simple yet extremely difficult wish.

Every time my hopes were dashed, my heart felt like it was being hit hard. The pain and helplessness overwhelmed me like a dark tide.

I still remember that you once said to me gently: "It's okay, we can hug each other." Your words were like the warm sunshine in winter, bringing me a touch of warmth.

But dear, do you know? What I want is a child who is related to us by blood! I long to see a little life that is a combination of our appearances grow up beside us. That is the most beautiful dream in my heart.
