After coming out of the shopping mall, Min Hao took Han Xiaotao's hand and walked onto the familiar streets. The sunshine and fresh green that greeted him made him feel particularly comfortable.
"Are you going to Taoyuan?" Han Xiaotao couldn't help but ask.
Min Hao said with a straight face: "Even though I have to play, I can't forget about work. As a boss, I haven't inspected my property for a long time. Who knows what you have done to me."
Han Xiaotao punched him, and Min Hao cooperated and touched the sore spot pretending to be in pain. Then the two of them couldn't help but laugh, and still held hands and walked forward slowly. The road ahead was shrouded in golden light.
, there seems to be no end, and Min Hao also hopes that the road really has no end, and he can keep walking with her and finish this life. However, there probably won’t be that day. Min Hao’s Adam’s apple rolling up and down seems to confirm
His hesitation and helplessness. He pulled Han Xiaotao into the peach garden and found the tree very familiarly. The candle that Han Xiaotao put on last night still had a short section left in the small orange lamp and had been extinguished. Min Hao
He stepped forward to light it, clasping his hands in front of his chest and praying secretly.
"Grandma, if Xiao Judeng can really let you hear and see everything about me, then please listen to Min Hao's words now. Please bless Xiao Tao to be happy, even if I can no longer be by her side.
I want her to live a happy life, live an optimistic and strong life like I have never done before. I know she can do it. And I will always bless her, the woman I love most, my
...Sister." The last four words, even though they were so helpless and contained pain, were indispensable, because only in this way could he remind himself that this decision was unshakable. He would leave her life from now on.
When Han Xiaotao saw Min Hao open his eyes, his eye circles were a little red, as if he was suppressing the emotions in his heart. She always felt that Min Hao was acting strange today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Grandma will hear what I just said." Han Xiaotao could only smile, trying to dispel Min Hao's doubts.
"Yeah, I hope grandma can really hear it so that I can get rid of this big trouble like you." Min Hao said with a half-serious sneer.
"Okay, it's early, I don't think it's too much trouble for you." Han Xiaotao joked.
Unexpectedly, Minhao turned his head, looked at her and said, "What if I am telling the truth?"
"Eh?" Han Xiaotao didn't expect Cui Minhao to add this sentence, and was stunned for a moment. After a while, she came back to her senses, punched Cui Minhao, and said, "Are you looking for death?"
Cui Minhao burst out laughing, and his serious face just now also had a smile.
Han Xiaotao's nervous heart was relieved. But she also found that when Min Hao said she wanted to leave him, she was so afraid. It seemed that she was really used to relying on him. But she was not afraid.
She already believed that he would always be by her side.
The two walked side by side on the road and brought Han Xiaotao to the door of her house. He stopped and watched Han Xiaotao go home. He felt a faint pain in his heart and suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.
Han Xiaotao was stunned and a little at a loss.
Min Hao hugged her tightly, as if he had spent his whole life to knead her into flesh and blood and never separate. If he could, he would definitely do this. He could give up the whole world and spend his whole life to embrace and protect her.
She. However, this power does not belong to him. He is just an elder brother, and the blood and family relationship can never be surpassed. It turns out that the woman he loves deeply is destined to be evil from the beginning!
He took a deep breath, held back the tears in his red eyes, and let go of Han Xiaotao, who was in a daze. The two were silent for a while, and then walked home. When they looked up at Hanzhai, they found a man standing at the door.
Although it was just a back view, Min Hao still trembled with certainty. He could not mistake his father's back, standing at the door of Xiaotao's house, looking a little lonely and desolate.
Father Cui seemed to have heard the footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw Min Hao first, and then looked at Han Xiaotao, who was a little surprised.
"Hey... uncle, are you here to see Min Hao? Sorry, I just went out to play and just came back now. You..." Before Han Xiaotao finished speaking, Cui's father shook his head.
"No, I'm here to find you." There was a trace of hesitation and excitement in his eyes, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Min Hao grabbed his father's arm and said coldly: "You don't need to look for her."
Han Xiaotao was also shocked by Minhao's father's words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Min Hao..." Min Hao's father raised his head and looked at him pleadingly. Min Hao knew clearly that Xiao Tao was his father's illegitimate daughter, and how excited his father must be now. So Min Hao also knew the purpose of his father's visit.
That's why I won't let go.
Min Hao frowned slightly, interrupted his father and said, "I told you you don't need to find her. She and I have broken up, so there is no need."
"Min Hao!" Han Xiaotao was stunned by the sudden words and looked at Cui Minhao blankly. "What are you talking about?"
Of course Min Hao's father understood, but he was also a little surprised. He could see that Min Hao cared about Xiao Tao, so he couldn't imagine how Min Hao could say such things in front of Xiao Tao so simply. And judging from Xiao Tao's reaction
See, she didn't know that beforehand.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Then I'll say it again." Min Hao turned his head and looked at Han Xiaotao indifferently. "You and I are over from now on. Don't come to me again in the future, and neither will I."
I will intervene in your life again. That’s it, do you understand now?”
Han Xiaotao looked at Cui Minhao at a loss. Although she didn't know what kind of joke he was making, she still had a tangled emotion in her heart. "Yes, it's over. I really want to get rid of you, this arrogant person. But,
Why should you have the final say?"
"Okay. Can you count it as your dumping me this time?" Min Hao said directly, "I don't want to hurt you, so you can count it any way you want. You should understand that with our status, there is no relationship at all.
Maybe I can go further. I have been very happy with you these days. But there is too much pressure, and I can't cope with it. Besides, I am the only descendant of the Cui family. I have to pay tens of thousands to the Cui family and Sapphire Group.
employees are responsible, so I can no longer distract you, do you understand?"
"Hey, Cui Minhao, that's enough! That's enough for the joke. If you continue, I will get angry!" Han Xiaotao frowned and said in a lecturing tone.
Min Hao looked at Han Xiaotao. There was no flaw in his firm face. Only the silver light in his eyes revealed his cowardice. He knew that this was not the cowardice he said he could not face, but the cowardice of fear of leaving. Silence
After a long time, he adjusted his mood and was able to speak. He pursed his lips and said softly: "I'm sorry."
"Eh?" Han Xiaotao didn't understand what his apology was for.
"I know you are strong, and you can live well without me. Just pretend that I have never appeared, and your life will still be wonderful for you. You will be happy. But don't meet me like this again.
People who bring you harm." Cui Minhao didn't know how he said these words. His whole heart seemed to be empty, and he ignored her face that turned pale in an instant. He never knew that he could actually do this.
He had to be so cruel that he could resist the urge to rush up to comfort her and tell her that it was all a lie. He really wanted to do this, but he had to tell himself that he was facing his half-sister.
, if he is selfish this time, it will not only destroy him and her, but also the whole family. What he said is true. She can still find happiness without him, because she is such an optimistic girl, and soon
Can you forget this cowardly and heartless man?
And what about himself?
"Cui Minhao, what are you talking about?" Han Xiaotao couldn't help shouting. Although she still firmly believed that this was just a joke, the appearance of Cui's father and Minhao's sudden change seemed to be premeditated by some kind of connection. She couldn't tell
It was because of something, but she knew something was wrong.
"I've finished what I want to say. Whether you understand it or not, in short, don't interact with each other again. Even if we meet again, we are just strangers." Min Hao said lightly. He turned to look at his father again and said: "
In this case, do you have anything to talk to her about?"
Min Hao's father could see from those eyes that the answer Min Hao wanted was no. He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something else, but the words Min Hao said just now made him unable to be so selfish anymore.
He couldn't fully understand Min Hao's mood when he said those words, but he fully understood Min Hao's thoughts. He could only lower his eyes and said a little lonely: "In this case, there is nothing to say. Let's go."
"After hesitating for a moment, he patted Min Hao's shoulder. I don't know whether it was to calm his own heart or to appease Min Hao's heart.
"Cui Minhao!" Han Xiaotao watched him turn and leave, then took two steps forward to catch up, her eyes a little sore and swollen.
Min Hao stopped, but did not turn around. Instead, he shouted impatiently: "What else do you want? I have made everything clear, do you still want to shamelessly come with me? My mother said that it is impossible to let you in.
Don’t you understand the Cui family’s door? Do you want me to fall out with my mother for you?”
Han Xiaotao was speechless and stared blankly at Min Hao's back. What he said was correct, but Xiaotao couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe what came out of Min Hao's mouth at this time. The man who once said it was
The man who said he would protect her forever and make her and him accepted by the whole world now told her that everything was over because he was afraid, backed down, and gave up.
Han Xiaotao was choked up and speechless, her eyes were scarlet and she was holding back tears.
What she couldn't see was Cui Minhao, who had his back turned to her, and a tear streaked across his fair cheek.
The setting sun just happened to hang on the ridge of the roof, painting his back in gold. But that golden color was no longer the warm tone in the restaurant at noon. The tears in Han Xiaotao's eyes turned into a cold color, and his whole heart sank.
