Frank shook his head, "There's nothing unusual about it, it's just like usual."
"But, he never stayed up all day and night like he did recently." Ning Xiaotong said, biting her lip.
Ning Xiaotong did not say the next words.
Even if he came back drunk in the middle of the night, he would disappear at dawn the next day without even having time to say a word, let alone have a meal together.
Also, the smell of the woman's perfume that I brought back.
Frank's eyes flashed, "Maybe, he is busy."
Ning Xiaotong frowned, "Is busy the reason?"
Frank sighed, "I'll talk to him another day."
Xiaotong smiled bitterly. Look, even Frank noticed Rin's abnormality.
So, what exactly went wrong?
…
Drunk. The presidential suite on the seventeenth floor, the boss's office.
Frank got straight to the point, "Huangfu, Xiaotong said that he smelled another woman's perfume on your clothes."
Huangfu Lin was silent.
Frank frowned, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Huangfu Lin said calmly, "As you can see and hear, I have a new love."
Frank was angry, "You're lying to me, do you really think I'm a fool?"
Huangfu Lin raised his eyebrows, "So, what do you think it is?"
Frank leaned forward slightly to look at him, "Is it because of the fragment?"
He repeated, "Because of what I told you, the fragment that remains in your mind?"
He looked at him and said word for word, "So, why are you so cruel to Xiaotong?"
Huangfu Lin was silent for a long time before saying, "You are overthinking."
Frank chuckled, "If you really think so, then I look down on you. This is an act of evasion and a coward. What you do is unfair to Xiaotong."
"So," Huangfu Lin met his gaze, "please tell me, what should I do?"
He sneered, "Tell Xiaotong the truth? Let her be sad with me? Then let her watch me go blind and die? Do you think that is fair?"
Frank was speechless.
After a while, he said, "But, can you bear to see Xiaotong sad?"
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain," Huangfu Lin lit a cigar, "Frank, I understand the truth, but I have to do this."
In the curl of white smoke, the sadness in his eyes was looming, "Since I can't give her the ultimate happiness, then I am willing to let go."
Frank had nothing more to say.
At this point, no matter what he said or what he tried to persuade, it would have no effect at all and could not change Huangfu Lin's mind. He sighed heavily and said, "I understand his feelings, but Huangfu, I really don't
I think you did the right thing."
This is the last advice from a friend. Although he knows that this advice will not change his decision at all, he still wants to say it.
"Frank, thank you." These few words were faint, but they showed layers of exhaustion. "Please, don't tell Xiaotong."
Frank nodded helplessly, "I know."
"So," Huangfu Lin put out the cigarette butt and looked at him seriously, "Go back to England. No matter what happens here in the future, don't care about it and don't come back. Let us solve our own affairs by ourselves.
Okay?"
Huangfu Lin had never spoken to him in such a pleading tone, and Frank felt sour in his heart.
