Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengzhi a little blankly, as if he didn't understand what he just said.
He repeated the words again, and then Xia Haitong was sure that he had heard correctly.
But the next second, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. She shook her head violently and said to Ye Chengzhi: "No, absolutely not!"
"Why?" Ye Chengzhi asked.
"Why, Chengzhi, do you know what your decision means?!"
Ye Chengzhi nodded: "I know, but I don't care, all I care about is..."
"But I care!" Xia Haitong interrupted Ye Chengzhi almost by shouting. She looked at Ye Chengzhi who was a little surprised, turned away and said slowly: "Chengzhi, I, Xia Haitong, owe you enough.
, I don’t want to owe you anything anymore. If the decision you made today is for yourself, I have nothing to say, but if it is for me, then please give up this idea."
"Xiaotong, you don't owe me anything. I do everything willingly. I just..."
"That's enough, Ye Chengzhi, are you bothered? If I didn't make it clear enough before, I'll say it again today, I don't like you. From before to now, I have never liked you at all!!"
Xia Haitong looked very impatient. She knew that her behavior would definitely break Ye Chengzhi's heart, but she had no choice. If she didn't do this, how could he give up on her?
But what Xia Haitong didn't expect was that instead of being angry, Ye Chengzhi said to her with a soft smile: "I know, but it's okay, I can wait for you."
Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengzhi blankly. How many times had he said this to himself? And how many times had he been moved by these words?
She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at the man in front of her. She didn't dare, she really didn't dare!
Ye Chengzhi did not force her to face him, they just remained silent.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was not until the sky was getting dark that Xia Haitong raised his head and said, "Chengzhi, there is something I must tell you."
Before Ye Chengzhi could speak, she added: "If after hearing all this, you still insist on today's decision, then I won't stop you anymore."
Ye Chengzhi nodded, and Xia Haitong told everything Li Siqin had done, what Ye Chengxuan had done to her parents, and even Lei Ming's existence.
The sunset put away its last ray of light, and the night enveloped the two of them. As soon as Xia Haitong finished speaking, Ye Chengzhi immediately said to her: "I didn't expect that Siqin was such a person, and I didn't expect that the elder brother would do anything to make you submit.
At this point..." He bowed slightly and said guiltily, "Xiaotong, I'm really sorry for causing you so many grievances, I'm sorry!"
Xia Haitong was stunned for a moment: "Chengzhi, this has nothing to do with you at all. You don't need to apologize to me."
Ye Chengzhi shook his head: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be implicated in this. In the final analysis, I have tired you and your family."
Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengzhi. At this moment, she had an indescribable feeling. She wanted to ask God, how good must the man in front of her be before she would give up?
It seems that he will definitely not change his original intention.
As soon as Xia Haitong finished thinking this, Ye Chengzhi's next words confirmed her thoughts.
"Xiaotong, as long as I give up my position as president, everything will be solved perfectly. Can you understand my decision?"
Xia Haitong sighed secretly, shook her head, and said, "I promised you from the beginning, so I won't persuade you anymore. But..." She held his hand, her eyes full of determination.
"But I want you to promise me something."
"I promise you." He replied without hesitation.
Xia Haitong smiled and said, "Let me stay by your side and learn how to love someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chengzhi frowned and said, "Xiaotong, I already told you that you don't owe me anything, you don't need to do this."
Xia Haitong rested her head on Ye Chengzhi's shoulder and said slowly: "Chengzhi, I don't want to stay with you because I feel I owe you anything. I am moved by you. Do you understand?" She paused slightly.
He added, "Do you know, there is a question I have been asking myself, for a man as outstanding as you, there are so many women hundreds of times better than me waiting for you to choose them, but why do you not want any of them?"
Do you fall in love with such an ordinary me?"
In fact, she thought about the last half of the sentence for a long time before she decided to say it, because she felt that there were some things that she had to ask for clarity. And this was also the last concern and the last defense in her mind.
She raised her eyes to look at Ye Chengzhi, and just when he was about to press his lips to say something, she snatched him away.
"I've asked you this question before, but I think the answer you gave me is the same as if you didn't give it to me. What does 'because it's you, that's why I like it'? This answer is too profound. I don't understand it.
I don’t understand.”
Xia Haitong's eyes were full of longing, as if she was expecting his answer.
Ye Chengzhi raised his head slightly and looked at the stars in the sky, with some memories in his eyes: "Xiaotong, do you know what love at first sight is?"
Xia Haitong nodded, but said: "But I don't believe in love at first sight."
"But it does exist." After a slight pause, he looked down at Xia Haitong and said, "That's exactly how I treat you."
Although Ye Chengzhi said it sincerely, Xia Haitong still asked anxiously: "But why is it me and not A, B, B, D?"
"There are not so many reasons in love. If you can explain why clearly, it is not love."
His words were still full of sincerity. She also knew how good Ye Chengzhi was to her, and she also understood that feelings were the most unreasonable thing. However, her heart was still unsteady, and she still felt empty.
Perhaps because she likes to read detective novels, she only believes in cause and effect. Falling in love at first sight is beautiful, but to her it is like a beautiful fairy tale, just a fairy tale.
Just when she was hesitant, Ye Chengzhi's arms had locked her firmly in his arms. He whispered in her ear...
If you still can't believe this beauty, then let me spend my life proving that fairy tales can exist in the world.
At the end, he humbly added: If you are willing.
His words reached her ears and into her heart. For a moment, all the worries in her heart disappeared.
She also hugged him and said firmly to him: I do.
The shadows of the two people overlapped under the starry sky, and their lips also overlapped, a bit shy and a bit lingering.
After the kiss, the two were sitting next to each other. At this time, Xia Haitong suddenly asked with a worried look: "Chengzhi, when are you going to resign? Do you plan to deal with this first and then explain it to your mother?"
Ye Chengzhi smiled slightly and said: "I left my resignation letter on my desk at noon today. I guess someone will find it tomorrow."
Xia Haitong's eyes widened: "You, you have already thought about resigning, and you have already written the letter!" After a slight pause, she said thoughtfully, "Why did you suddenly think of giving up the position of president to
Ye Chengxuan?"
"Actually, I have long wanted to return the position of president to my eldest brother, but I hesitate when I think of my mother. It was not until today that I was able to make this decision."
"That means that in the beginning, no matter what I say or do, your original intention will not change?" She rolled her eyes and snorted, "Wow Chengzhi, you even hid it from me, and you made me do that just now
I’m so touched, now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve been tricked by you.”
Ye Chengzhi quickly explained: "Xiaotong, I didn't mean it. I didn't tell you beforehand because I was afraid you wouldn't agree. After that..."
Seeing Ye Chengzhi's nervous look, Xia Haitong burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, you don't need to explain anything, I know the reason why you did this."
Ye Chengzhi frowned and thought: "If that's the case, then why... why did you seem a little angry just now?"
Xia Haitong smiled and said matter-of-factly: "That was my intention. Who told you to hide something from me?" She held Ye Chengzhi's hand and said slowly, "Chengzhi, I know it's good for you to hide it from me.
But I’m not a three-year-old kid anymore, I don’t need that much protection, do you know what I want to say?”
Ye Chengzhi was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will discuss everything with you first in the future, and you will never hide anything from you again."
Xia Haitong danced with joy and responded with a heavy voice: "Yes!"
Neither of them went back to the city tonight. To be precise, neither of them planned to return to that noisy city again in the future.
Ye Chengzhi has already planned that his resignation will be discovered tomorrow. After that, he will call Ye Chengxuan and ask him to release Xia Haitong's parents and sister, but he has no intention of telling everything Li Siqin did.
Let Ye Chengxuan know.
Firstly, he felt that Li Siqin had no reason not to let Xia Xueqing go. Secondly, although Li Siqin had done many excessive things, he felt that all of this was because she loved Ye Chengxuan too much. In the final analysis, she was also a victim. In fact,
Xia Haitong didn't want to create too many complications. Since Ye Chengzhi had this idea, of course she agreed.
Xia Haitong said that after bringing her parents and sister back, she hoped to send her parents to a drug rehabilitation center first, and then take them back to live together after they had given up their drug addiction. However, she did not want Xia Xueqing to know about all this.
As for the place to live, Ye Chengzhi planned to stay in the villa in the suburbs for a while. Although Xia Haitong was worried that Ye Chengxuan would kill Ye Chengzhi, he said that he believed that his eldest brother would not do this, and that they were only staying for a while, and then they would
Will go to the countryside to live the quiet life she longs for.
They planned to hide for two or three years and live a simple life. When the overall situation was decided, Ye Chengzhi went home to plead guilty. He said that he would bring Xia Haitong with him at this time because he wanted to introduce his future wife to Wang Defang.
Xia Haitong said that he was worried that his mother would firmly oppose them being together. Ye Chengzhi said that there would be obstacles at first, but as long as they have enough determination and sincerity, he believed that his mother would not object to them.
Of course Xia Haitong was not as optimistic as Ye Chengzhi, but his black and white crane eyes allowed her to see the future.
However, under the same starry sky, another woman was not as lucky as she was.
