A Man's Heart

" she looked up at him, seeming rather resigned."What are you satisfied and dissatisfied with!" The man didn't admit it, but he directly picked up the little fellow and strode away.She made a face, th...The man, carrying something, easily pushed past her and entered the room. [..tw super many good novels] As a soldier, his physical fitness and mobility were naturally top-notch. Li Yiping knew she was no match for him, so she simply closed the door and followed him inside. When Bingbing saw that it was her father, she immediately stood up from beside her desk, her eyes shining brightly at him. However, she kept her hands tightly clenched at her sides, and didn't take a step forward, facing him with restraint. She didn't even utter a "Dad."

This is her true feelings laid bare, completely different from the indifferent way she treated He's mother. Because this is her father. Her father has loved her unconditionally from beginning to end. Yet her father still chose not to be with her and her mother, separating himself from them. Her father will have a new wife, a new son, and she, will drift further and further away from him.

Bingbing's eyes welled up instantly. She bit her lip stubbornly, but couldn't control her tears, which streamed down her face.

He Zhan, a big man, looked at this scene and his eyes turned slightly red. However, he just put down what he was holding, walked over and picked up the little girl, then hugged her tightly against his chest. Bingbing choked back tears, but she couldn't help it sometimes, with sobs escaping from her small mouth.

Li Yiping looked, her heart ached, and she almost shed tears. Not wanting to appear too pathetic, she quickly retreated to the kitchen, wiping her face with her hands, trying to make herself look less distraught. She then tried to mentally compose herself before emerging with a glass of juice. Sadly, even though she had moved out, the refrigerator still held this man's favorite juice!

When he came out, his daughter was already sitting on his lap. She wasn't crying anymore, but her eyes were still red and puffy.

Li Yiping placed the juice in front of the man, saying nothing, waiting for him to speak, just as she had waited for He's mother last night. But the man, while holding his daughter, pulled over the large pile of things he had brought and took out each item one by one, handing them to his daughter. Most of the things he bought were for his daughter: a pretty princess dress, beautiful red-and-black lady shoes, a pretty rhinestone hair clip, and two sets of toys, one of which was the Barbie doll that his daughter loved most. He even brought her a Hagen Dazs cake, which she always liked to eat.

Although her eyes were red and she still had tears, being a child, she was easily comforted. Seeing so many things, she smiled slightly and nestled beside the coffee table, eating the cake one spoon at a time. But her eyes stayed fixed on her parents sitting in front of her.

"This is for you!"

He Zhanxu took out a dress from a paper bag and gave it to Li Yiping.

Li Yi-ping didn't reach out to take it, she just said with a blank expression, "It's not appropriate. You should take it back."

Ke He Zhan Su seemed not to hear, she caressed the skirt and said to herself, "I bought it a bit hastily, I'm not sure if the size fits or not. Just looking at it, you should be able to wear it, and it should look very good!"

Li Yiping fell silent, but a voice roared in her heart: "Stop pretending, just stop it. What are you pretending for Just say it, speak your purpose for being here. Don't be so insincere, this doesn't suit you, you shouldn't be like this!"

As if hearing her unspoken plea, He Zhanxu moved her skirt aside and picked up a bag lying nearby. From within it, he retrieved three wooden boxes—two large and one small.

"

Everything here is valuable, keep it. This smaller one, you give it to our daughter as a dowry, and these two bigger ones, you can keep them for yourself and dispose of them as you please!

"

He casually placed the three wooden boxes, which looked ancient with a hint of history, aside, on top of the sapphire blue skirt. Then, he took out a red wallet, along with a card, and handed them to Li Yiping.

"Here you go!"

Li Yiping was a little confused at this moment. She was familiar with the three wooden boxes. The He family was also a hundred-year-old family, and there were bound to be antique heirlooms in their house. When she saw Old Madam He take out antiques to give gifts before, she had seen similar boxes. Therefore, there must be something antique inside these three wooden boxes. Moreover, He Zhansuo specifically said it was precious, and he specifically said that one of them was for his daughter's dowry. So the things inside must be very valuable.

What on earth is He Zhanxu doing!

Kidnap her!

Isn't this a bit too much

Seeing that she refused to take it, He Zhanshu just opened the red bankbook and waved it in front of Li Yiping's face. Li Yiping's pupils suddenly shrank, frightened by the black numbers inside!

Such a large sum of money!

Is this man crazy!

“Keep this money, and arrange it as you see fit. I opened the account under your name, the password is the date we met. Don't spend it recklessly, this amount is enough for you and your daughter to live comfortably for a lifetime. Don't use this money for any investments or business ventures, and don't lend it to others easily. There's no need! In this world, living a simple and honest life is the most reliable. Don't flaunt your wealth, and please don't tell anyone about this money. Just be careful all the time; it never hurts.”

"You... what do you want to do" she asked dryly, a hint of panic in her voice. Why was this man speaking like he was giving his last words!

He- Zhan Su put the red passbook together, and placed both the passbook and the card aside on top of the three wooden boxes. He reached out and wiped his face hard, ending with a final wry smile.

"Yi Ping, I am so sorry!"

Li Yiping's lips trembled, but she couldn't speak. Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

He Zhanxu took a deep breath and smiled at her.

"Don't do that, I don't deserve to be treated like this, you should be smiling!"

Li Yiping, however, burst into tears.

He Zhanxu's hand was about to reach out to wipe her face, but just as it was about to touch her cheek, he stopped. Then, his hand clenched into a fist and slowly retracted, placing it on his leg, pressed tightly against it. This series of movements revealed an unspeakable forbearance.

He Zhanxu still smiled, though that smile was bittersweet and heavy. But as a warrior, he could only smile, smiling with resilience. No matter how much pain or bitterness there was in his heart, he could only smile. Even if he cried, he had to force the corners of his mouth up into a smile!

A warrior doesn't back down!

“I've already submitted the divorce report upstairs. In the next two days, I'll get the proof of agreement to divorce. Then, we'll go and pick up the divorce certificate. Hejia, you saw it this time, it definitely won't work out. You divorcing me is just right, and you can also avoid this crisis and live a peaceful life. After that, you'll have to take good care of our daughter. I believe you, you will definitely raise her well. You are a good person, always have been, always have been, always have been...”

Muttering to himself, he fumbled as if that was the only thing he could say.

Li Yiping's tears flowed freely, she sobbed uncontrollably.

When Bingbing heard this, she immediately threw the spoon in her mouth, pouted, and ran crying into Hesu's arms. "Daddy, Bingbing doesn't want Daddy and Mommy to divorce, Bingbing doesn't want to... Daddy, please don't divorce Mommy, Bingbing doesn't want... Don't divorce... Don't divorce... Daddy, please, don't divorce, don't divorce..."

The little girl cried like she was a weeping willow, but He Zhanshu only had red eyes, wiping her daughter's tears over and over again. Bingbing tried hard to reach out and pull Li Yiping, pulling her hand forcefully and pressing it against He Zhanshu's big palm. With her tender and tiny little palm, she pressed the hands of the two together tightly.

"Don't get divorced... Don't get divorced..."

“Mom…” she turned her head to beg Li Yiping, her little head shaking wildly, tears sliding down like broken glass. “Don’t… Mom, don’t… Don’t… Bingbing doesn’t want to be a child without a father, don’t… Bingbing doesn’t want to… Please… please… don’t get divorced, don’t get divorced…”

The little girl's tender crying broke down Li Yiping's last line of defense. She let out a "Wow!" and cried loudly, rushing over to hug Bingbing tightly. He Zhanshu's body stiffened for a moment, but he couldn't help himself in the end, lifting his other big palm and gently placing it on Li Yiping's back, but he didn't dare to use force.

Just like that, the mother and daughter, one sitting on He Zhanxu's lap and the other lying in his arms, cried for a long time until their sobs gradually subsided.

She wiped away her tears, lifted her head, widened her eyes, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean"

Why would he do this! Giving her valuable antiques and a huge sum of money, what is he doing! Didn't he say he didn't want them mother and son anymore Why would he do such a thing! He's also in a hurry to divorce her! Isn't it said that getting divorced now would have a bad impact That's why at the beginning they only signed a divorce agreement, intending to formally go through with it after the elders in their families were safe. But why is he so eager now! Is he eager to help her get out of trouble Is he eager for her to sever ties with the He family Is he eager for her to distance herself from this whirlpool He Zhan Su, what do you mean You've already signed the divorce agreement, why are you still acting so affectionate You're too much, way too much!

He Zhanxu opened his eyes, avoiding her questioning gaze!

This clearly doesn't want her to peek into his true feelings!

As husband and wife for many years, and their daughter is so grown up now, she must know his thoughts, right!

What's the point of him doing all this now Everything that was supposed to happen has already happened! There's no way for them to go back to how things were before. It's too late... It's too late...

"It's late!" He avoided her gaze and said suddenly.

Her heart skipped a beat, beating rapidly, but each beat was laced with pain!

Even he thinks so!

Then he said again, "I'm going back first!"

A dry voice, revealing his unspoken words and feelings, mirroring the excitement of this mother-daughter duo.

It turns out he wasn't what she had in mind!

She was saddened to actually feel a sense of relief!

For this, she hated herself, despised herself, and tightened her face!

He stood up. His daughter, afraid he would disappear, cried even louder, clutching his leg and begging him not to leave. She looked at the man who seemed both familiar and strange, a man who used to be her husband. With a heavy heart and gritted teeth, she pulled her daughter off of him.

He didn't move, standing there like a benchmark. It was admirable in its straightness, but then again, to stand so alone and exposed, with nothing shielding him, was also lonely and pitiful.

"Then I'll be going..." A low voice, carrying the weight of unspoken sighs.

She said nothing, her face still bearing the traces of tears, holding her daughter who was still wailing tightly, preventing her from rushing forward to grab him.

He sighed, a deep, heavy sigh!

"Take good care of yourself, and our daughter. She'll be counting on you from now on!"

Saying that, he seemed afraid that if he stayed any longer, his weakness would be revealed. With a sudden turn, he strode away. As for his two hands, they remained clenched at his sides the whole time.

After many years of marriage, she knew him well enough to see that he was holding back.

At last, the man was gone. The door slammed shut behind him amidst his daughter's heartbroken pleas, leaving no room for mercy. Her heart ached with an agonizing pain, as if it had been ripped out of her chest in an instant, its every beat a sharp stab that left her drained and weak.

The daughter immediately slipped from her grasp, turned around, and glared at her, crying and yelling.

“Why didn’t you keep Dad Why didn’t you keep Dad Dad wanted to stay, why didn’t you keep him Why…why…Mommy is hateful, hateful, hateful! …Dad is hateful too, hateful, hateful! …You adults are all the most hateful, you’re all bad people, bad people…sniffle…”

The daughter ran off crying, but she didn't run towards the door. Instead, she ran into her own room and slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Even faintly, you could still hear whimpers of crying coming from her room.

Li Yiping raised her hand and touched her face. Warm tears welled up in her eyes once again, slowly flowing down and soaking her fingertips. She gave a helpless smile, the salty tears abruptly entering her mouth. She tasted them, finding them bitter!

She just sat there listlessly for a while, then struggled to her feet.

Life goes on, doesn't it!

The daughter still has to eat dinner, she also has to eat dinner. No matter how big the event is, you still have to eat!

She went to the kitchen and rinsed her face under running water again, then wiped it roughly with her hand. She pulled out the vegetables from the fridge and began washing them. Unintentionally, she glanced up through the kitchen window and saw a familiar figure. Thousands of days and nights were enough for her to imprint that person into her very bones, so even from such a distance, she recognized him at once.

The man leaned against his SUV, his face downcast, taking puffs from a cigarette. The red ember flickered in the dim light, rising and falling, revealing a sense of precarious destruction. His usually upright posture was now deeply stooped, almost hunched, as if burdened beyond measure. On the ground, faint white dots could be seen, likely cigarette butts.

He's been standing like that the whole time!

The action of washing vegetables suddenly stopped!

She stared at the man across the window, separated by such a distance. Her eyes glazed over slightly, but her heart grew more and more complex!

This trancelike state didn't end until a man received a phone call, hurriedly extinguished his cigarette, got into his car, and drove away. She let out a wry smile, shook her head, and continued washing vegetables, but the expression on her face had become vacant and lifeless.

He Zhanshu's haste stemmed from a major family crisis. Grandma He had truly taken a turn for the worse and was being rushed to the hospital. Her frail body couldn't withstand any more stress. The doctors had cautioned repeatedly, but the He family was caught in a storm they couldn't escape. Their tumultuous situation led to repeated shocks to her health. This time, with Xiaoru's revelation coming to light, she finally succumbed, falling into a deep coma. Currently, she is being transported to the hospital for emergency treatment.eng's face grew increasingly grim!If he needs to prove his words, wouldn't that be another kind of failure!"If I said there isn't, then there isn't. If you want to check, go check yourself!"Too angry,...
