Chapter 386
he rearview mirror reflected the woman in the backseat. She was very quiet, her face turned sideways, staring silently out the car window.Shen Er couldn't figure this woman out. Just two hours ago, sh...As he spoke, bitterness was evident at the corners of his thin lips.
I was wrong... I just wanted to grow old with her. But she used her life to run away.
When Yuxi turned eighteen and had her coming-of-age ceremony, I never imagined that one day I would fall head over heels for this woman.
If only I had known then, on her eighteenth birthday, when she boldly confessed her feelings for me, I should have carried that flamboyant girl onto my bed and kept her in my territory.
Bai Yu listened quietly, and outsiders only felt heartache and regret. Shen Xiuqin said that he knew he was wrong... Knowing his mistake, knowing his mistake, that proud man said "I was wrong."
That is the true feeling of despair.
If that were the case, then… our children would all be in elementary school by now.
Bai Yu listened, only feeling as if these words were scalding oil poured onto his heart. "Sizzle—" The flesh was seared by the hot oil and felt inexplicably uncomfortable afterward.
"I'll have a drink with you."
"She gets hungry when she doesn't drink. " He said, getting up and going to the fridge like he owned it, pulling out some vegetables:
She could not eat anything solid; she needed soft porridge.
Just as I placed the vegetables on the bar, my body suddenly froze. My peripheral vision landed on the overflowing trash can.
After looking for a while, the man with his long frame crouched down and took things out of the trash can one by one.
Bai Yu xing looked at the man washing the couple's cups silently behind the sink, only saying that fate was playing tricks.
"When everything was back in its place, the man returned and said: "Jian Zhen Dong's little lover has already signed a bone marrow donation agreement. Yu Xing, Jian Mo Bai... I leave it to you."
Bai Yu looked at the man, and he understood... Jian Tong cared about Shen Xiu Jin just as much.
And for bone marrow transplant surgery, the most important thing is to be confined to a room for a month after the operation. Shen Xiujin was afraid that Jian Mo Bai would have an accident after the surgery, and he was afraid that Jian Tong would be sad.
"Okay, I'll personally follow up on the warehouse.
=== Chapter 323: He Built Another Prison for Her ===
Jian Tong slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, the room was dim. She got up slowly and walked to the living room. She wasn't surprised to see a figure of a man sitting on the sofa watching TV in the warm light.
In the living room, the television volume was low, as if afraid of waking someone asleep.
Faint footsteps echoed down the corridor, and the man turned to see who was coming.
Their eyes met.
Both of them seemed to have no significant emotional fluctuations, as if they were an old married couple, or perhaps extremely taciturn. Neither of them broke this eerie peace.
Seems like things are peaceful.
The man stood up on his own, walked to the bar, and slowly reheated the food. He then placed it on the bar.
And the woman also walked past in silence, and sat down to eat the food.
As if, between them, there had never been so much love and hate entanglement, so many painful memories.
After a meal, everyone felt the atmosphere was harmonious, and there was even an illusion of contentment with the present.
Oh, my!
The last mouthful of hot rice went into her mouth, the woman put down her chopsticks, which made a slight sound on the bar counter.
"Let me go."
A woman's gruff voice, slowly uttered three words.
The man's hand, which was clearing the dishes, froze mid-air. "You're tired," Bai Yu said, "Your body isn't feeling well. Go get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the supermarket and buy a rooster chicken to make soup for you."
"Let me go," the woman said gruffly, not bothering to respond to the man's words.
"Good girl," the man put down his bowl and chopsticks, placing them in the sink. He washed his hands clean, dried them, and walked towards the woman. In this posture, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Go to sleep, sleep it off, and everything will be alright when you wake up."
"Let me go," she said, her eyes unruffled.
And let the iron arms on her waist, hold her so tightly. Now they are so close, yet there is not a trace of warmth.
Her eyes, like parched earth, were dry and devoid of any moisture.
The man remained gentle: “Little one, go to sleep now. I didn’t hear what you said. And please, don't say such foolish things again.”
His voice was gentle as ever, even with a hint of indulgence, yet it also carried a clear warning.
"I want to leave here…"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, her words angered the man:
“Do you want to leave here, or do you want to leave me”
His fists clenched, his temples throbbing with suppressed fury. He spoke in a low growl, his voice choked with frustrated rage he couldn't articulate.
"Stop talking nonsense, don't let me hear the word 'leave' again," he gritted his teeth, the pain in his eyes only he knew:
"Little one, you've always been so clever. Surely you know which choice would be most beneficial for you."
Negotiation skills at the marketplace, men don't understand. These are just useless in terms of emotions.
His strong attitude in the marketplace was supported by his ample capital, allowing him to be so assertive. However, this is not the marketplace; this is a paradise lost.
He didn't understand any of it, he just wanted to be able to keep this woman.
Even though two of his close friends had, more or less subtly, reminded him to let go of those who couldn't be kept.
But whenever he thought of this woman leaving him, and never being connected to him again, he couldn't bear it.
He was flustered and at a loss.
She is his poison, she is his cure.
The woman merely lowered her head, a smile in her eyes, more sarcastic than anything... He'll always be this way!
He, has never changed!
In her mind was Xia Guanjia's words to her today, the entanglements between the two families, the beginning between the two people... It turned out that everything was just a mistake.
She also had a temper, and she wanted to yell at him, demanding to know why he was treating her this way.
Xia Guanjia's words, like a giant hammer, shattered her to pieces. She remained silent, thinking for a long, long time about what Xia Guanjia had said, about the things between their two families...handkerchief: "Wipe it off, tsk tsk~ Your face is swollen like a pig's head. It's too miserable~""Hmph, don't talk big.""You suddenly appeared in that warehouse just now, stalling Shen Xiujin to give...
