Gardenia is her favorite flower. She was influenced by her grandma, so she loves gardenia very much.
Grandma once said to her, dear, the flower language of gardenia is an eternal promise.
In Shen Qingqing's memory, the age of eighteen was the happiest time in her life under the banyan tree of the Shen family.
Huo Tingxiao held a bouquet of gardenias and placed it in her arms. He kissed her forehead gently and said to her gently, "Qingqing, wait for me. When I take over the Huo family, I’ll come and marry you!”
The white gardenia petals fell one by one on her skirt, which was beautiful.
That year, Shen Qingqing was eighteen years old and Huo Tingxiao was twenty-three years old.
At the same age as flowers, the love is like a fairy tale, but later, after Huo Tingxiao encountered that incident, she tried her best to protect him, but in exchange, she saw him fall in love with someone else.
If Shen Qingqing had let go the moment she saw him break his vow and fall in love with someone else, obey the professor's words, and leave with Avril Lavigne to study abroad, maybe her life would be different.
Unfortunately, there is no turning back in time.
"Grandpa, Qingqing is here to see you!" Shen Qingqing said softly, but her eyes moved and looked at the position next to Mr. Shen's tombstone, thoughtfully, and her eyes suddenly became sad.
Ayan, mom is here to see you. How are you doing there?
Mom is really tired and wants to rest. She wants to come and accompany Ayan!
But mom can’t come to stay with Ayan yet, she still has to take care of sister Shengxia!
"Qingqing, I'm sorry. When something happened to you five years ago, I was forcibly sent out of the country by my father. I couldn't save you!" Lu Hanchuan looked at Shen Qingqing beside him, but his eyes were fixed on the tombstone in front of him. .
"Brother Hanchuan, you don't need to apologize to me. You never owe me anything. Those are the retributions I deserve!" Shen Qingqing said softly, standing quietly in front of the tombstone, her eyes calm.
Yes, those are all her retribution, the retribution for falling in love with Huo Tingxiao!
"No, Shen Qingqing, I don't allow you to say that!" Lu Hanchuan interrupted her and looked at her, feeling very guilty in his heart.
Back then, Shen Qingqing ignored his obstruction and insisted on marrying Huo Tingxiao. At that time, he felt very sad. Later, Father Lu insisted on arranging for him to go abroad, so he agreed. After Shen Qingqing got married, He went abroad.
But who knew something like that would happen at a wedding!
He wanted to save her, but in the end he was unable to do anything. Lu's father was afraid of causing trouble, so he insisted on sending him abroad and found someone to keep him under supervision for two years.
During those two years, he understood one thing. He couldn't protect Shen Qingqing because he was not strong enough, so he watched Shen Qingqing go to jail and ruined her life!
Time passed quietly, and the wind in the cemetery became much colder in the afternoon.
Lu Hanchuan took off his coat and put it thoughtfully on her shoulders, "Qingqing, let's go back!"
Shen Qingqing did not move and murmured, "Brother Hanchuan, do you know? It was my willfulness that killed grandpa!"
"Qingqing, it's not your fault, none of this is your fault!" Lu Hanchuan smiled a little bitterly, "Grandpa Shen has a lot of knowledge. I only hope that you can be happy and let yourself go. I don't want you to torture yourself like this!"
Lu Hanchuan's eyes were gentle, like the rising sun in winter, making people feel extremely warm.
Qingqing, five years ago, I couldn't protect you. Five years later, I will never let myself be unable to protect you again. I will always protect you!
