Fairy Tale Life - C220
On the sickbed, Tang Mengyao sat up, but her heart was not at peace. Thinking about Han Junli’s haggard and painful eyes, her heart started to ache.
She had clearly said she wanted to forget, but her heart had always been out of her control.
“Dong, dong, dong …” The door was knocked, rhythmically, politely.
Tang Mengyao felt that she did not look like a nurse. “Come in.”
She knew this person.
Xiao Shengke, Xiao Yihang’s father.
In his hands was a bouquet of beautiful flowers. He walked in and smiled lovingly. “It was a bit sudden when I came here. I hope you don’t mind.”
Tang Mengyao hurriedly stood up to greet him, feeling a bit apprehensive in his heart.
“Director Xiao, please take a seat.”
Xiao Shengke smiled, placed the flower on the table, and said indifferently: “Just call me Uncle Xiao. The company is currently being controlled by Yi Hang, if you call it that anymore, it will be a little too realistic. ”
Even though he was already in his fifties, it was still possible to see the capable and decisive aura Xiao Shengke had.
It had the same temperament as Xiao Yihang, and always carried a gentle aura that made others feel comfortable.
He sat down, looked at the wound on Tang Mengyao’s hand, and asked with concern: “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Tang Mengyao casually laughed, but she was still a little embarrassed in her heart. She did not know why Xiao Shengke would appear here.
Seeing that she was a little nervous, Xiao Shengke smiled and comforted her. I’m just here to see you, don’t be so nervous. All these years, after I passed the company to Yi Hang, there was nothing much I needed to do, so I just walked around. I just returned home, and I heard that you were sick, so I came over to take a look. ”
“Thank you.” Xiao Shengke’s words were filled with sincerity, allowing everyone to feel his good intentions. Then, she heard from his mouth, as if he was chatting, and continued to speak with his very affectionate tone: “I’ve always heard from Yi Hang that you are a very very special and cute girl, and I often ask him to bring you back for a seat, but in the end I never got the chance.”
He was somewhat emotional, but also a bit depressed. Tang Mengyao did not interrupt him.
“I have met you here today. It seems a little desolate. However, I still wish you an early recovery.”
Tang Mengyao nodded, and thanked her once again.
“Yi Hang did a lot of things in the group for you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come back.” If there was something he was pointing at, he would glance at her, causing Tang Mengyao’s heart to be moved as well.
His eyes were also full of seriousness.
“When I was young, I fell in love with a person. I loved him very much.” Xiao Shengke very naturally began to narrate his story, the deep feelings of love in her eyes infected Tang Mengyao, allowing her to quietly listen to his story.
“For her, I paid a lot of price. Even after she rejected me and married the person she liked, I was still reluctant to leave and I still protected her. It wasn’t until one day, when she was crying in my arms, that I realized how unfortunate her marriage was. ”
“At that time, I thought that after she saw everything clearly, she would let go of a love that didn’t belong to her, so I used my heart to confess to her. “She was moved and hugged me tightly …” Xiao Shengke sighed, “But in the end, she still cannot give up the love she seeks.”
“Perhaps it’s because of unwillingness, or perhaps it’s because of other reasons, but in the end, she gave up. She even asked me to never appear by her side again, never to destroy her family again.”
Xiao Shengke’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse as he spoke until here. Even though many years had passed, Tang Mengyao was able to see that the injury in his eyes, had still not healed.
A heart-wrenching love might be something that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
“She even took the initiative to introduce me to her girlfriend. I wanted to satisfy all of her hopes. So I married the girl and had a baby. and brought my family and emigrated to other countries, never to appear before her eyes again. ”
“I thought that if I stayed away from her, she would be happy. She wouldn’t be upset about me. But I didn’t think that even if I did as she asked, she would still be in so much pain that she wouldn’t be the kind and beautiful girl I once knew. ”
“When I see her again, my heart is still in pain. I can’t change everything. I just hope that she can see through me and put down her determination. Only then will she be able to start over.”
Xiao Shengke smiled, his face suddenly becoming tranquil and at peace.
“Even though that relationship still remains in my heart, I know that the current her is no longer the person I feel in my heart. I am only hoping for sympathy. She can truly let it go. ”
“You might not believe that the girlfriend she introduced me to that year, I married her because of anger, gave birth to a child. I ignored and alienated her in all sorts of ways, but she still waited silently for me, never abandoning me, accompanying me through the most painful years of my life. ”
“I could feel the friendship she had for me. However, at that time, I was extremely foolish. I was so stubborn that I did not dare to admit my feelings for her. Until the moment of her death, I still hadn’t said how much I loved her. It was only after seeing her leave with regret in her eyes that I realized how foolish I was to have lost the most precious thing in my life. ”
“It was only after I had truly lost her that I realized how much I loved her. That love was slowly fusing into one’s bones and blood. Thinking of the regret in her eyes when she died, I really wanted to go with her. However, after reading the letter that she left me, I was able to survive once again. ”
“Because she wanted to see me live a good life in this world. Only then did I realize that sometimes persistent pursuit will only cause me to lose even more precious things that I didn’t notice before.”
Xiao Shengke narrated his own story in an unhurried manner, as if he viewed Tang Mengyao as his close friend and expressed the feelings in his heart.
Tang Mengyao stared at him in a daze. She was moved, and felt awkward, but she still didn’t understand why Xiao Shengke would tell her his story.
Xiao Shengke took a deep breath, and revealed a benevolent smile once again. He said apologetically, “I’ve let you down.”
Tang Mengyao shook her head. “Uncle Xiao, you’re very good.”
Xiao Shengke laughed, and with a tone of regret, he self-deprecatingly said, “If I was really good, I wouldn’t have let her die with regrets.”
Tang Mengyao guessed that the person Xiao Shengke was talking about was Xiao Yihang’s mother. The story sounded sad, but the emotions revealed in Xiao Shengke’s eyes made him moved.
“No, she must have felt your love for her.”
“Xiao Shengke’s lips curved up in a smile again. You truly are a kind child. No wonder Yi Hang was attracted to you. ”
He stood up, his voice sounded serious.
“After Yi Hang’s mother passed away, I felt very guilty, so I put all my effort into my son. I hope that he can find my own happiness.”
