Duanmu Que and Han Hao both looked very serious. It seemed that they were really angry. I put down my chopsticks and looked at everyone. "I'm done eating. You guys can continue eating. I'm going to take a walk outside."
As I stood up and prepared to leave, Duanmu Que and Han Hao also stood up. It seemed that the two of them were prepared to be my bodyguards and follow me to the end. I shook my head helplessly. At this time, my mother saw through my thoughts. She said to Duanmu Que and Han Hao, "Xiao Que, Xiao Hao, after we finish eating, let's sit together and chat. Xinyao, accompany Li Er to the garden for a walk."
Suri stood up and looked at my mother. "Madam, I'll go accompany Milady. Xinyao wants to play with Susu."
Xinyao looked at my mother and nodded. "Okay. Auntie, let Suri go. I bought some fruits on my way here. I'll make a fruit salad for everyone later."
"Then I'll go out." It wasn't easy for everyone to help me out, so I had to hurry out. I glanced at Han Hao and Duanmu Que and walked out of the dining room. Suri followed closely behind me. He didn't say a word. I knew that Suri was very loyal to me. From the first time I saw him, I knew that he was a very worthy friend.
Suri and I went to the garden at home. There was a large rose pond here that my father had built for my mother. It was the only one in the whole of A City. It was my father's masterpiece, and also my mother's masterpiece. It was also a symbol of their love. I looked at the garden full of roses, and my heart was in a mess. Suri stood on the side and looked at me. His expression was very calm. It seemed that he was already used to this.
While admiring the garden full of roses, I asked Suri, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Suri looked at me and sneered. "Milady, you know what I want to ask you."
I reached out and touched a rose. I lowered my head and sniffed it. It was very fragrant. I sat next to the flower pond and looked at Suri. "I don't know what my answer is, but I don't want to give up on these two people, and I don't want to hurt them."
Suri walked in front of me. He reached out and touched my face. He said softly, "Xiao Li, do you remember the first time we met? It was in the detention room at the police station. You should remember it."
My face suddenly turned red. I looked at Suri and smiled. "Why do you make it sound so ambiguous? It's not like we're going to part forever."
"Xiao Li, when it was just the two of us, I didn't want to call you 'Miss' because I felt that this word separated us. When I first saw you, I thought that you were a very good woman. Your eyes were clear, but your eyes revealed a calmness as if you had experienced a lot of things, which made me have a whole new level of respect for you. At that time, I thought that I must be friends with you. Although our statuses were very different, I still wanted to give it a try. I thought that you were a very special friend. But after seeing so many things happen between you and Duanmu Que, it slowly erased your calm personality. You became prone to tears, you became irritable, and you even became hysterical. I saw all of this, but my heart ached. You shouldn't be like this. You became weak. Although after the divorce, you did everything you could to hide the pain in your heart, but I could still feel that your heart was bleeding. Xiao Li, if there's something that you're holding back, you must say it out loud to feel comfortable."
I didn't know why, but after hearing Suri's words, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face. I turned around so that Suri wouldn't see me crying. I calmed down for a while. With my back facing Suri, I said, "Suri, it's not that it's hard for me to choose, it's that I can't choose. The person I love, I can't be with him because the person I love can't come back to me. I've thought about it a lot. I'm doing all of this for his good. I don't want to give up, but I don't know what else to do. It's good to just look at him from afar. At least the best gift he has given me is the baby in my stomach. That's enough. Suri, I understand what you mean. I don't want to be strong now, but I have to be strong. There are still many things that I need to do. "
Suri turned me around. He looked at me and smiled. "What are you going to do next?"
I sighed. "Let's see what these two ancestors want to do next. I'll just play along with them. Besides, I don't have much time left in the country. I'll just play along with them. It's so fun. Sometimes, it's good to see them bicker. On the surface, it looks like they don't get along, but in reality, they have a very good relationship."
Suri nodded and looked at me. "Xiao Li, I'm very grateful to you. Not only did you solve my work problem, but you also solved my family problem. You didn't dislike my identity, and you're still as good to me as before. You gave me opportunity after opportunity to work hard. Through you, I met Xinyao and successfully pursued her.
Thank you so much. "I looked at Suri and smiled." You don't have to say that. You're also very outstanding. You've done a lot of things for me. Now, my father appreciates your ability. I've told him that he'll give you a promotion. This way, your standard of living will improve and you'll have more savings. When the time comes, you'll at least have enough money to propose marriage to the Duanmu family. Although I know that the Duanmu Que's parents don't particularly care about money, they all want their daughter to marry a reliable man, right? You have to have confidence in yourself. We, the Red Minghui, will definitely be loyal to you. "
Suri smiled and looked at me. He reached out and patted my head. "Silly, you should take care of yourself first. I can handle my own matters. I'm going to find Xinyao. Do you want to go back?"
I shook my head and looked at Suri. "You go back first. I'll stay here for a while." Suri sighed. He took off his jacket and put it on me. He patted my shoulder and smiled. Then, he turned and left.
I stood by the rose pond, feeling the night breeze. I felt a lot more comfortable. After I told Suri my thoughts, I felt a lot more at ease. I looked at the roses and felt very comfortable. I touched my belly and thought about the baby growing day by day. I felt motivated. I had to live for myself. I didn't want to let those insignificant emotional entanglements affect my mood.
