Hai Xiaotang was stunned by her sudden question!
Seeing He Meilianâs firm gaze, Hai Xiaotang opened her mouth, but she had no idea how to answer.
âSo you havenât loved him for a long time, is that right?â He Meilian asked again.
Hai Xiaotang fell silent before answering, âMadam, a lot has happened between Dongfang Yu and meâ¦â
âSo thereâs no going back?â
ââ¦â She didnât know.
Because both of them had distanced themselves from each other. He wanted to forget her, and she too had firmly determined to forget him.
He hurt her, she also hurt himâ¦
Some damages had done, and they couldnât be erased by suddenly not caring about them anymore.
Anyway, Hai Xiaotang didnât know what to say. The relationship between her and Dongfang Yu was too delicate for outsiders to understand.
But He Meilian could understand her thoughts because she had been there.
âXiaotang, if you donât love him, or your love isnât strong enough, donât give Yuyu any hope. My son canât bear any more heartbreaks. So if youâre not confident, please donât give him any hope. This is the greatest plea I can make to you as his mother.â
With that, He Meilian left.
â¦
Hai Xiaotang sat alone in the garden for a long time.
She didnât know what she was thinking about, neither did she know which way to go in the future. But Dongfang Yuâs mother was right, if the love wasnât strong enough, she shouldnât give him any hope.
Because an insecure love would end up causing heartbreak eventually.
Just like when Dongfang Yu fell in love with her initially, but his love wasnât strong enough, hence he ended up hurting her.
So she didnât want to make the same mistake again.
Because now, both of them couldnât endure any more heartbreaks.
If the love wasnât absolute, they both dare not have a tasteâ¦
But then, she realized that she seemed to find it very hard to forget him. Loving someone recklessly was something she dared not to do, yet letting him go completely was also beyond her ability, she felt like going crazy!
Why has it become like this, since when has she been so troubled?!
All of a sudden, Hai Xiaotang felt so irritated and confused about the matters of heartâ¦
And then, with no way to vent, she started to run madly around the garden!
Her grandfather once said, if youâre feeling low or thereâs a problem that you canât figure out, just take a run.
Once youâre done running, everything will settle down.
So Hai Xiaotang did exactly that, running around the garden for a long, long timeâ¦
Her grandfatherâs words were the absolute truth; temporarily, all her troubles were gone. But⦠who can tell her, why does her abdomen hurt this much?
Hai Xiaotang squatted on the ground, pale-faced with pain.
Just as Dongfang Yu returned home, he came to the garden to look for her, only to see her distressing look.
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed over to her, frowning with concern, âWhatâs wrong?!â
âIt hurts so muchâ¦â Hai Xiaotang clutched her stomach and moaned in pain.
Dongfang Yuâs face hardened, âWhy does your stomach hurt?â
Despite being in great pain, Hai Xiaotang felt embarrassed, âI just went for a runâ¦â
Dongfang Yu was speechless, âWhy on earth were you running?â
Despite the reprimanding tone in his question, he scooped her up and quickly carried her back to the bedroom upstairs.
As he laid Hai Xiaotang on the bed, she stirred in discomfort. Dongfang Yuâs gaze instantly fell on the white bedsheet that was now stained with a touch of fresh blood.
And Hai Xiaotang looked distressed and weak.
Taking all these into account, Dongfang Yuâs pupils constricted sharply, and his mind buzzed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
