After we finished breakfast, I helped Duanmu Que clean up the dining table. Then, I stood in front of the French windows in the living room and stared at the flowers and plants in the courtyard. After Duanmu Que finished cleaning up the kitchen, he stood next to me and watched the scenery with me. I turned to Duanmu Que and said, "It's about time. Let's go home. I miss Xinyao and Mom and Dad."
Duanmu Que looked at me. "Can you stay with me for one more day?"
I looked at Duanmu Que and asked, "Why? We've already stayed for one night. Why do you want to stay for another day? "
Duanmu Que sighed. He walked in front of me and said, "In three more days, we'll have nothing to do with each other. After today, I've decided to take you home and leave for a few days. When the day comes to sign the divorce papers, I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Why do you want to leave? Where are you going? "I looked at Duanmu Que. I didn't understand why he would say that.
Duanmu Que reached out and gently stroked my hair. "I don't know how to face you anymore. Under my cold exterior, my heart is actually very weak. It's just that my identity and my family won't allow me to be weak. I can only fight with all my might. I don't know why I'm telling you this. I've never cherished any of the women around me. When I woke up and met you, I thought you were the same as all the other women before you. You came for my money, my identity, and my family. I didn't know that I would really have feelings for you. I stubbornly insisted on divorcing you. But every time I saw you, every time I saw your eyes, my heart would tremble. Especially when I saw you and Han Hao being so intimate. I was really angry, really angry. I was so angry that I wanted to hold you tightly in my arms. I wanted to completely separate the two of you. Although I said that I wouldn't forgive Han Hao and you, Han Hao was my brother who grew up with me. I had feelings for you, and you and I were husband and wife in name. No matter how much my heart ached, how could I bear to do anything to you? Do you know how many things Han Hao had done for me? Many things threatened his life, but he never refused. He always did a lot of things for me that I couldn't do. To be honest, I owed him a lot, but I didn't know how to repay him. Now, I know that Han Hao loves you very much, and you will be happy with him. As for you, even if I force you to be with me, even if I threaten you, you won't feel happy. I owe him, and I also want you to be happy. Now, there's a way to get the best of both worlds, and that is for me to withdraw. This is for the best of both worlds, isn't it? " Duanmu Que looked at me. His eyes were filled with sorrow. That expression made my heart ache as if it was bleeding.
Duanmu Que looked at me and reached out to hug me tightly. He gently stroked my hair and said, "So, can you stay with me for another day?" I didn't know how to refuse. I leaned into Duanmu Que's embrace. This feeling was indescribable. I thought about it and nodded gently.
Duanmu Que stroked my hair and kissed my forehead gently. He held my face and said softly, "I have a present for you. Come with me." Duanmu Que took my hand and led me out of the living room. We went to the sunroom in the corner of the courtyard. He said, "Wait for me." Duanmu Que walked into the sunroom and took out a huge box. He handed it to me.
He looked at me and said, "Open it and take a look. You will definitely like it." I watched as he reached out to open the lid of the box. The moment I opened the box, I was stunned. Inside the box was a white kitten with a pink bow. When I opened the box, it lifted its head and meowed gently at me. My heart melted.
"It's so cute!" I reached out and picked up the kitten. The kitten first sniffed my face, then meowed at me. It was so cute. I looked at Duanmu Que and smiled. "Thank you. How did you know I like cats?"
Duanmu Que put down the box and looked at me. "I heard from Xinyao that you really like cats. You raised a few in the States, but you didn't raise any after you came back. I asked the pet shop manager and he said that most girls like this breed of cat. So, I brought it back for you. What do you think? Do you like it? "
I nodded and looked at Duanmu Que. "Yes, I like it. I raised this breed in the States. It's very clingy. Thank you. Thank you for the present." I raised my head and looked at Duanmu Que. He was especially dazzling under the sunlight. My heart didn't hurt as much as before. I held the kitten in my arms and gently stroked it. It was like a child who hadn't seen the world, looking around. Sure enough, carefree innocence was the happiest.
Duanmu Que looked at me and said, "It doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it one?" Duanmu Que reached out and gently stroked the kitten's head. The kitten lifted its head and sniffed his hand, then gently licked it. Then, it looked at him with its big, cute eyes.
I smiled and looked at Duanmu Que. "It likes you."
Duanmu Que looked at it and said, "Really? That's good. Let's call it Snowball. It's as white as snow and so pretty. "
I cupped the kitten and gently pressed it against my face. "Little Snowball, we have a name now. Little Snowball is so cute." I rubbed my face against Snowball's body.
Duanmu Que stood next to me and looked at me. "Xiao Li," he said, "I think I can see the way you raise a child. Will you be this gentle when you have your own child?" I blushed and looked at Duanmu Que in embarrassment. I lowered my head and played with Snowball.
Duanmu Que looked at Snowball and said softly, "Little Snowball, from now on, only you can accompany Xiao Li. You have to stay by her side for me. Don't let her get hurt again. Don't let her be sad again." Hearing Duanmu Que's words, my heart trembled. I raised my head and looked at him. His expression was still so helpless.
Duanmu Que and I played with Snowball for the whole day in the villa. Only when he was sleepy at noon did he hug me and sleep for a while. Duanmu Que told me that he liked to hug me. He liked to hold me in his arms because that was the only way he could be sure that I belonged to him. That day, I didn't reject what he did to me. Of course, he didn't overstep his boundaries either. He just pampered me as if he was bidding me farewell. He wanted to leave me with the best memories and erase his past.
