Huangfu Lin had never spoken to him in such a pleading tone, and Frank felt sour in his heart.
"Okay," he nodded, "If this is your choice, I respect it. I will make arrangements to return to the UK as soon as possible."
Or, he could go back and find someone else to think of another way to remove the fragments remaining in Huangfu's brain.
What a beautiful couple, he really couldn't bear fate to separate them from now on.
That would be too cruel.
Huangfu Lin said sincerely, "Frank, thank you."
Watching Frank's figure disappear into the study, Huangfu Lin's pretended ease finally came back. Fragments of sunlight shone in, and there was a deep sadness in the whole air.
Xiaotong, I'm sorry. He said to her silently in his heart.
I love you, but I can only look at you from a distance, out of reach.
I hope that my decision now will give you a new and happy future.
…
Just after getting drunk, Frank received a call from Xiaotong: "Frank, have you gone to find Rin?"
Frank deliberately complained in a tone of voice, "Oh my, that guy was really busy and went to socialize somewhere. I didn't see anyone else." He apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiaotong."
"Oh." A flash of disappointment flashed through Xiaotong's heart, and she reluctantly said, "It's okay."
In the afternoon, Huangfu Lin came back for the first time. And it was still during the day.
However, as soon as he came back, he went into the study and never came out again.
Xiaotong lingered at the door of the study for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of the study with her daughter in her arms.
Nannan has not seen her father for a long time and has been clamoring for him. Today, when she saw her father finally came back, she kept crying and shouting for her father downstairs. Xiaotong had no choice but to carry him up.
Children are naughty by nature and are accustomed to happy scenes, so naturally they cannot stand the feeling of being left out.
"Come in."
Xiaotong carried her child into the study room, and immediately saw that the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and some even scattered on the ground. She was shocked, how much had he smoked?
However, the man she loved most was currently staring at the black and white documents on the desktop, his eyebrows tightly knitted.
As soon as the girl in Kuai saw Huangfu Lin, her big black grape-like eyes stared straight at Huangfu Lin, struggling to get Huangfu Lin to hug her. "Dad, dad——"
Seeing the undisguised exhaustion on Huangfu Lin's face, Ning Xiaotong quickly coaxed her daughter in her arms, "Nanny, be good. Dad is busy. I'll take you out to play when he's done with his business, okay?"
Although the little girl is young and has been a bit precocious since she was a child, she nodded obediently and stopped making trouble.
Ning Xiaotong sighed in her heart at her daughter's premature maturity, but she could do nothing about it.
She stood quietly and waited for Huangfu Lin to process the documents.
Documents were moved from the right hand side to the left hand side one by one. It was already approaching dusk. Huangfu Lin raised his head from the documents. The girl in his arms had already fallen asleep.
Gently placing her daughter on the soft couch aside, Ning Xiaotong came over and asked, "Rin, did something happen in the business?"
Huangfu Lin was about to straighten up when his vision went dark and he staggered. He accidentally tripped over the chair behind him, making a dull sound.
Ning Xiaotong quickly went over to support him, her expression undisguisedly panicked, "Lin, what's wrong with you?"
