I Once Loved You Humbly - C191
I subconsciously wanted to resist, but he spoke first. “Don’t worry, I promise that I won’t repeat the same thing again. You can trust me. I’m serious. I want to apologize to you.”
Since he had already said so, of course I didn’t have any room to refuse.
“Fine.”
Furthermore, last time, I still had a task to complete. Perhaps this is an opportunity to explain a lot of things.
We went to a relatively distinctive Thai restaurant nearby. During dinner, we chose a corner table. Although there were private booths, I still had some lingering fears due to the last incident.
Huo Ting understood me, so he didn’t force the issue.
He looked skinnier, and his eyes were not as clear as before. It was obvious that the change from a doctor to the heir to a corporation had put a lot of pressure on him.
After all that had happened, he and I were no longer the kind of relationship we’d been able to get along with without fear.
Now, even finding a topic to talk about was rather awkward.
“Are you used to coming to the capital?” As I lowered my head and fidgeted with my glass of water, he suddenly spoke up.
“It’s pretty good. There’s nothing to not get used to …” “What about you?”
“As a man, I’m not picky.” he said flatly.
“Young man, sometimes you really do need to suffer a bit, struggle a bit more. Perhaps Huo Family will become the capital’s fifth great family?” I pretended to be relaxed.
“Are you looking down on me as well?” For some reason, his mood suddenly dropped.
“We can’t do anything good, we still need to rely on women to revive the family …” I’m really useless, right? ”
“No …” I never expected him to think this: “I never thought of it that way.”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s more than one person who thinks like that anyway …”
Hearing his words, I think that after he marries Wei Yuqing, his days will be very bad, right?
I have only seen Wei Yuqing a few times. Even then, I had clearly seen how swift and decisive she was. A strong woman like her wouldn’t allow her husband to be too inferior to me.
“Have you ever thought that the two of you might not even be suitable for each other?” Just like what Bo Lengqing had said, what Wei Yuqing needed was not a husband, but a platform, a platform that could allow him to display his abilities, but Huo Ting was different.
What he needed was a wife.
“We were just engaged, we were only married in the name of our husband and wife. I know what she wants, and I don’t want to interfere with her, I don’t want to disturb her, I don’t want to disturb her. My parents want me to marry a wife like that, and I’m just going to do what they want. ”
“Huo Ting, a marriage without love won’t be happy.”
He nodded. “I know. I don’t need happiness. My happiness can never happen again.”
“Xiao Wei… When Xiao Wei left, he left a letter for you. I know that it may be too late to take this letter out now, but I feel that there are some things that you need to know. ”
Actually, the reason why I didn’t give the letter to him earlier was because I knew that he was already married. Although Xiao Wei was my good sister, I couldn’t do something to destroy another’s family just because of my own selfish desire.
But now, since I already know that there’s no love between him and Wei Yuqing, does that mean that the Xiao Wei has a chance?
“Huo Ting, Xiao Wei has been by your side for so many years. It’s impossible for you to not see her feelings.” I earnestly looked into his eyes: “Xiao Wei truly likes you. Before you got married, Xiao Wei had already liked you for a very long time.”
“I know.”
“You know?” I stared at him.
“Xiao Wei is a good girl. She is studying drama abroad. If she is willing to come back, I will pave the way for her for the entertainment circle. She will not have any worries.”
“You know, that’s never what Xiao Wei wants.” He knew exactly what I was talking about, but he kept on talking.
“She’s a very clean girl. I’ll give her anything but marriage.” “I don’t want to hurt her.”
I suddenly understood.
Just like how I don’t want to hurt him, he also doesn’t want to hurt Xiao Wei.
“I knew it the day she left. I saw her, she came, that’s good enough.”
I always thought he didn’t know anything, but I always thought he didn’t know anything, and in fact, he knew everything.
Xiao Wei wrote the thoughts of those girls on his face. How could he not know?
That was why he was so determined to marry Wei Yuqing. It was because he knew very well what he had to do to make the Xiao Wei give up.
In some ways, I think, he and I are very similar.
“Xiao Wei, it’s very likely that he won’t return …”
Xiao Wei is a stubborn girl. She stayed by his side for so many years in obscurity, yet she didn’t receive anything. I think that she will need a long time to recover from her injuries.
He froze with his chopsticks, dazed for a moment.
“It’s good if you don’t come back …” Not coming back is also good … She’s so smart, she’s been out of the country all the time, maybe it’s good. ”
“Yeah, so what if she comes back? She can’t change anything …”
When I said these words, I more or less had the intention to cry out for the Xiao Wei’s injustice, even though I could also understand Huo Ting.
Huo Ting was silent for a long time.
“Wei Yuqing and I won’t be together for long.”
I looked up at him. “What did you say?”
“Nothing …” All good things must come to an end. When the time is up, we will naturally part ways. ”
I don’t know why, but I always felt there was something in his words.
“You should cherish the people around you. Perhaps before you separate, you might discover that you can fall in love with her.”
However, he smiled and shook his head. His expression was somewhat unfathomable.
After the meal, I suddenly had a feeling that his obsession with me seemed to have dissipated quite a bit. His gaze towards me was no longer as passionate as it was before.
It was a good thing for him, for me.
No matter the reason, I still hope that he and the Xiao Wei can find happiness that belongs to them, even if they aren’t together.
Returning home, I suddenly realised that Ye Xing today was extremely abnormal.
The lighting in the house had always been good, but today, for some reason, she had drawn all the curtains in the house as if she was afraid of the sun’s rays.
He took off his shoes and walked in, only to see a floor full of cans and two piles of bottles on the sofa.
The two of them were completely unconscious.
Ye Chong laid on the sofa, while Ling Chen lay sprawled on the floor. I couldn’t help but take a few selfie shots of the both of them. Who would have thought that the famous celebrities who would usually cheer for each other outside would have such a day as this …
I cleaned up the mess for them, made them both some sobering soup, and went upstairs.
I booked a plane for the day after tomorrow. Originally, I didn’t plan to return so quickly, but Bo Lengqing kept on calling me to rush me. There was no other way, I had no choice but to hurry back, because if I didn’t leave now, he would personally come to pick me up.
He took a nap, and when he woke up, the two of them had more or less finished drinking.
I brought out the soup and gave each of them a bowl.
“What’s going on with you two? Why are you two so drunk?” When he came out of the kitchen with the soup, the two people were still sitting on the sofa, looking confused.
“Sis, you’re back …” Ye Xing looked at me in a daze.
“Su Cha, long time no see …” Not much better than him in the early hours of the morning.
“Look at the both of you, why are you so drunk in broad daylight!? Hurry, finish the sobering soup! ”
I looked at them both helplessly.
The two of them obediently took the soup from me and gulped it down.
“Ye Xing, you guys drank way too much, don’t you know that drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health? “And you, Ling Chen, you’re a big star right now. If you say that you’re like this, then when you go out and get filmed by doggy later, it’ll be enough for you to casually write it down in the newspapers!”
“Su Cha, long time no see …” He looked at me and giggled.
“Yeah, long time no see. You heartless bastard, you didn’t even come when I got married.”
I said snappily.
“I saw the way you looked in your wedding dress. It was very beautiful, but the only pity was that … “The groom is not me …” Ling Chen pretended to sigh.
Hearing his words, I felt completely at ease. The fact that he chatted happily with me means that he doesn’t care about that matter anymore.
