After eating dinner, Duanmu Tachio went to the study. Xiao Fengya pulled me to the sofa and chatted. Duanmu Que sat next to me and carefully read a book. Yu Xin walked from the kitchen to the living room and towards the stairs.
"Xin Xin, do you want to eat some fruit?" I looked at her back and called out.
Yu Xin stopped her footsteps and didn't look back at me: "No, I'm not feeling well. I'm going to rest first." She directly went upstairs. I leaned on the sofa and looked at her small figure. My curiosity about her was aroused.
"This child is getting more and more impudent. How can she be so rude?" Xiao Fengya muttered in a low voice.
"Auntie, can you tell me about Xin Xin? I always feel that she's a bit resistant to me."
"When Xin Xin first came to my family, she wasn't like this. When she was three years old, her mother became seriously ill. Her father was a big gambler. He would rather gamble than treat his wife's illness. Later, he gambled more and more, and lost more and more. I heard that he couldn't pay back the money, so he took his wife to the casino and let her sell herself. Then he used the money that his wife earned to gamble again. After a long time, his wife's illness became more and more serious. The casino disliked his wife because she was too sick to receive customers, so they kicked him and his wife out of the casino. Because they didn't have the money to treat her illness, Xin Xin's mother passed away not long after. However, her father didn't want to turn over a new leaf and earn money to support the family. Because of his gambling, the casino no longer allowed him to enter. He ran to a casino under Hei Teng to continue gambling. In the end, when he ran out of money, he wanted to sell his daughter. The manager of the casino felt that this matter was too big, so he reported it to Lixiong. I still remember clearly, the first time I saw Xin Xin, she was too thin and weak. Her big round eyes looked at us in horror. I heard her story and thought that she was really pitiful, so I bought her and adopted her. I wanted to wait for her to grow up and find a good family for her. It could be considered a good deed. "
It seems that Yu Xin was also a pitiful child. No wonder she was so lonely and cold. Maybe she was afraid that others would harm her.
"Mom, why are you telling her these things? How long had it been since then? This will make Xinxin sad again. "Duanmu Que put down the book, and looked up at Xiao Fengya and I. His face was full of dissatisfaction.
"You didn't say anything?" Xiao Fengya glared at Duanmu Que.
"Okay, okay, Mom, in a few days Duanmu Que and I will be going on our honeymoon. Let's find some time to go shopping." I cleverly changed the subject.
"Okay." Xiao Fengya started to tell me which brand of clothes were new and which brand of cosmetics was the best. I smiled and agreed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Someone knocked on the door. The few of us looked at the door. The housekeeper opened the door and a very familiar figure entered … Han Hao.
"Why are you here?" Duanmu Que turned his head and asked Han Hao while flipping through his book.
"Hello, Auntie Xiao. Duanmu Que, my dad asked me to bring a document to my uncle. He said it was urgent, so I came." Han Hao smiled at me. His smile was so sweet that I smiled back.
Duanmu Que raised his head and saw us smiling at each other. He closed his book and stood up. "My dad is in the study. You can go now. Mom, I'm going upstairs." He walked to my side and lowered his head to whisper into my ear, "Wifey, when we're done talking with mom, you should come up early." Then he looked back at Han Hao, turned around, and walked upstairs.
"Auntie Xiao, I'm going first." Han Hao gestured to us and walked into the study. Looking at Han Hao's back, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Xiao Fengya pulled me to the sofa and told me some embarrassing stories about Duanmu Que when he was young. I listened to them happily. It turned out that Duanmu Que wasn't as cold as he seemed. Everything was just an act. He was actually a very sunny boy. His style of doing things was completely different from Duanmu Tachio's. In Xiao Fengya's words, although he inherited their genes, his personality was completely nurtured. He was resolute and resolute, and would do whatever he wanted to do.
After a while, I heard the study door open. Han Hao walked out of the study, looking exhausted.
"Hao Er, are you not feeling well? Why do you look so pale? "Xiao Fengya turned and looked at Han Hao with concern.
"Auntie Xiao, I'm fine. It's getting late. I should go. I'll come see you again next time." Han Hao waved his hand and walked out of the door.
"Mom, I'll see him out." Xiao Fengya nodded, and I followed him out.
The development of the plot was always surprisingly similar. The last time I saw him off was after he helped me get home. This time, I saw him off after I got married. The two of us slowly walked on the road to the door. We didn't say a word, but I could feel that his heart wasn't calm.
"Thank you for helping me out today," I said softly.
"It's nothing. Anyone would have done the same at that time."
"Are you sure?" I stopped in my tracks.
Han Hao also stopped after taking two steps. "Here, I might not be able to protect you all the time." Han Hao turned to look at me. "After the incident at the wedding, Duanmu Que talked to me. He doesn't want me to get too close to you."
"Why?" My heart trembled. So Duanmu Que had talked to him before.
"You know, Duanmu Que is a very strange person. He might not reach out to kill you, but he can force you into a dead end and make you have no choice but to die. You know, the feeling he gives me right now is that you are his prey. He doesn't lack women by his side, but none of them can stay by his side for long." Han Hao grabbed my shoulder as if he wanted to crush me.
"Are you worried about me?" I looked into Han Hao's gentle eyes.
"Xiao Li … I …" Han Hao didn't say what he wanted to say.
"I know that I didn't decide on this marriage. Since it's a fact, I can only face it. I can't resist it. After all, it's related to the interests of both our families." I knew that Han Hao would never say the words I was hoping for. Maybe he was just worried about me.
"Be good." Han Hao suddenly hugged me. At that moment, tears streamed down my face as I leaned into Han Hao's embrace. It was the same familiar heartbeat, the same familiar scent, and the same familiar person. But now, he was leaving me.
Looking at Han Hao's receding figure, my heart gradually calmed down. He was right. I had to be good, and I had to protect myself. If Duanmu Que was really a monster, my future days wouldn't be easy. I laughed coldly. How laughable. I had naively thought that I would fall in love with Duanmu Que. I shook my head helplessly. The moment I turned around, I inadvertently saw the expressionless Duanmu Que standing by the window on the second floor.
