Seeing that Ren Ying was about to cry, Huo Dongheng couldn't express his anger no matter how angry he was.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, took two steps forward, and patted Ren Ying on the shoulder, "If you don't marry her, wouldn't all these years of hard work and courage have been in vain for you and me? There are some things that can only be achieved by marrying her.
Only then can she continue. Ren Ying, you are the most powerful person around me, don't let me be disappointed in you." He said, looking at Ren Ying meaningfully, the girl's face was full of stubbornness, he knew
, what he wants to say next may make her hurt, but she will be able to hold on, she must hold on.
He said, "Ah Ying, I can give you whatever you want, but I will never love you."
There was a severe pain in her heart. She was rejected so directly. It took a while for Ren Ying to recover. When she looked at Huo Dongheng again, there were no tears in her eyes. "Why? Because of her?"
Because of her, you don’t even want to touch me?”
Ren Ying's eyes were extremely bright, as if they could see into people's hearts. Huo Dongheng looked at her, "I don't touch you because you are different to me. I don't want to use you as a simple tool to vent my desires. And
I don’t want to damage our working relationship. Ren Ying, I thought you always understood that love is a luxury for me."
Luxury goods, that is, useless things, he is the most practical businessman, and he will never look twice at anything that is useless to him.
*When Huo Dongheng found Qiu Bailu, she was hiding by the fountain in the back garden of the villa.
When she heard someone approaching, she immediately shrank her body even smaller, hid behind the pool, buried her head tightly, and refused to take another look at Huo Dongheng. If the long skirt of her evening dress hadn't been exposed, he would have
I almost missed her.
Huo Dongheng crossed the pool and took two steps toward her. Qiu Bailu immediately stretched out a hand to stop him, "You... don't come over again... you..."
Her voice trembled, and her whole body trembled into a ball. The tears stained the exquisite makeup on her face into chaos. She felt ugly and pitiful. The last thing she wanted to see now was him. All she wanted to do was think of him just now.
What I did made me feel so distressed that I couldn't even breathe.
"Why can't I come over? Why are you running away? This is obviously your wedding, why did you throw me to another woman?" Huo Dongheng didn't care about Qiu Bailu's resistance at all. He stretched out his long hand and took Qiu Bailu into him.
In arms.
Lifting her chin and forcing her to look at him, Huo Dongheng frowned.
Qiu Bailu turned her face away hard, not looking at him, "How can you still ask me so confidently? It's obviously you who did that kind of thing... I know I'm not good enough, I'm not perfect, but
You can't humiliate me like this! Since you don't like me, why do you want to marry me? I said, I don't want your pity! This is my last bit of dignity, why do you want to take it away? If you really
If you want Ren Ying, you have to do it when I can't see it. If I can't see it... I can just pretend it didn't happen... But you guys, you are going too far!"
She whimpered and protested to him, beating his strong chest with her slender arms. She had no strength at all. Even if she tried her best, it would not hurt Huo Dongheng. Huo Dongheng easily pinched her wrist.
, "I told you before that I didn't marry you out of pity, why don't you believe me? Qiu Bailu, do you think I am the kind of person who is overflowing with compassion? Would you rather believe her words than me?"
Of course he was not that kind of person. His colleagues in the company secretly called him the Living King of Hell. But Ren Ying said it so confidently that she could not allow her to question it.
"Then why? Do you love me? Dongheng, do you love me?" If he hadn't pushed her too hard, she would never have asked such a thing until her death, but now, Qiu Bailu really
She needs this answer. Huo Dongheng's answer may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for her, or it may be a floating board that floats to the victims at sea.
Huo Dongheng didn't answer. He lowered his head and saw that the shoes on Qiu Bailu's feet had escaped at some point, and the bare insteps were scratched with blood on the branches on the ground.
He leaned down and held up her feet with his own hands. Regardless of her objections, he gently stroked her insteps and said, "Why are you so stupid? If I don't love you, why should I marry you? Bai Lu, you don't believe me.
, actually it’s because you don’t believe in yourself. You always feel that you are not good enough, but for me, it is enough.”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her injury gently. Qiu Bailu felt that her brain was exploding. She wanted to withdraw her foot, but Huo Dongheng held it so tightly. "Don't... don't...
So dirty.”
"I don't mind you." Huo Dongheng looked at her with a smile, "Do you still remember when it snowed one year and you broke your leg, so I took you home?"
"Of course I remember." Qiu Bailu recalled the past, her eyes filled with mist again, "We fell down that hillside together, and then you carried me back..."
It was so cold that she felt like she was going to be hurt to death, but even though it hurt so much, she didn't even say a word, because the boy carrying her was running with all his strength. She leaned on his back,
She heard his heartbeat beating violently in his chest, heard him coughing and gasping vigorously, and heard him say to her in almost no words, "Xiao Lu, hold on, we will be home soon, Xiao Lu, don't be afraid, my brother will definitely do it"
Take you back.
At that time, he was not very old, and a teenager in his teens did not have much strength at all, so he carried her on his back, ran and stopped, fell down several times, and got up again. Qiu Bailu asked him to go back and report the news by himself
, but he refused to say anything. He said that he could not leave her here alone, and he was worried.
When she finally returned home and saw a doctor, she realized that she had only bruised the cartilage. And where he was hit by the stone, blood was gushing out.
He ran all the way, blood dripping all the way, soaked in the white snow, like a broken blood pearl.
"My mind has never changed. To me, you are the most important. I didn't give up on you back then, and I will never give up on you now. Bai Lu, what do I need to do so that you can trust me?" Huo Dongheng pressed his hand hard.
Then he picked up Qiu Bailu.
Qiu Bailu panicked and grabbed his sleeves, "What are you going to do?"
Huo Dongheng smiled, "Today is our wedding day, what do you think I am going to do? You left me to another woman and refused to listen to my explanation, I want to punish you."
