Suddenly, Jian Yi was stunned. She looked at her uncle and was very confused, "You are not married?"
"Well, no." He Lichen replied firmly.
Jian Yi didn't know what happened to her uncle. When she left, he was about to get married, and it had been so long. How could he... not get married?
He Lichen waited for a while and saw that the little girl didn't speak. Instead, he asked his doubts, "Why didn't you tell me what happened that night?"
He Lichen didn't mean to blame her, but he just wanted to mention it now. After all, he and the little girl met unexpectedly, and this matter would have to be mentioned sooner or later.
Jian Yi knew very well that her uncle knew everything. It seemed... Lan Xu told her uncle.
Jian Yi pursed her lips and didn't want to answer. She hid it in the first place because she didn't have any extravagant desires for her brother-in-law, and she didn't intend to destroy her brother-in-law's marriage, but she couldn't say it now.
When I think about what happened that night, I feel very sad, very sad.
He Lichen didn't hear the little girl's answer, and he didn't force her. He moved forward, kissed her on the forehead, and asked, "That night, I didn't have any consciousness. It must be very painful, right?"
Although I don't remember it, I know that I never gave her any tenderness that night, not even a trace of tenderness.
Jian Yi still didn't speak or answer, but this time, she cried again, tears streaming down her face.
Her tears made He Lichen panic, and He Lichen knew that she was sad.
"Niu'er, I'm sorry," He Lichen apologized sincerely, "I will be responsible, and I will be responsible for you."
Jian Yi cried and shook her head, "No, I don't need you to be responsible, I don't."
With that said, Jian Yi began to resist.
Who asked him to take responsibility? I did it voluntarily that night, and I had no intention of making him responsible at all. I had no intention at all.
Moreover, is he responsible for himself because of that incident? How to be responsible? Will he be with himself? Marry himself?
If this is the case, I would rather he never take responsibility, and I don't want to get entangled with him because of a mistake.
He Lichen saw that the little girl was getting excited again, and hurriedly persuaded her, "Niu'er, listen to me, calm down first."
"I don't listen, I don't listen..."
"Jian Yi." He Lichen had no choice but to yell at the little girl and call her name.
Sure enough, after hearing her uncle's stern voice, Jian Yi stopped resisting and gradually calmed down.
He Lichen felt helpless. If she could calm down and talk to him properly, he would not yell at her at all.
To her, I want to give her the best in the world, want to give her all the infinite tenderness, and the best in the world.
"Girl, listen carefully to what I'm going to say next, okay?" He Lichen said softly.
Jian Yi didn't answer, just looked at her uncle.
He Lichen had no choice but to continue, "I said I am responsible for you, not just because of what happened that night."
"Actually, I understand now that I have fallen in love with you since a long, long time ago."
"I couldn't clearly see my feelings for you before. I just thought I had special affection for you and just wanted to protect you," He Lichen said. "But since you left, my heart has become empty."
"Everyday life doesn't feel easy at all. Without you, I miss you in my heart. Life and career are all so dull without any fluctuations. My whole person looks a little decadent."
"When Lan Xu told me that the person who was there that night was you, I was surprised and at the same time regretted that I let you go and let you escape from me."
Jian Yi's heart palpitated as she listened to her uncle's words, but her expression didn't change much. She still looked at her uncle like this and continued to listen.
"Girl, I learned to cherish you only after I lost you. I realized after I lost you that I love you and have always loved you. I can't live without you by my side and in my heart."
"For more than a year, I have been looking for you hard and miss you in my heart. I am very happy to meet you unexpectedly today. I will never let you leave my side again." He Lichen said firmly, no.
No more, never again.
If you make some mistakes once, you are ignorant; if you make them twice, you are stupid. You never feel stupid, so you will never make such a mistake twice.
"Uncle." Jian Yi just said two words.
He Lichen kept looking at the little girl's eyes and continued, "Girl, what happened that night has already happened. I want to be responsible for you, but not only because of what happened that night, but more importantly..."
"I love you, I want to be with you, and be with you forever." He Lichen said that at this moment, the person he loves is right in front of him. Such happiness is luxurious to him, very luxurious.
Jian Yi understood what her uncle was thinking, but she didn't answer him.
Such a sudden situation today was something I had never expected. I thought I would never see my uncle again, but today I unexpectedly saw him.
Moreover, I was not mentally prepared at all for what my uncle said to me, which was different from the future I had planned.
I had already thought about my future plans. After living in this city for a few years, after all the things in my heart settled down, I would go back to my mother, take care of my mother, and find a suitable person to marry.
These are things that I have planned before and are working hard to do.
"Niu'er." He Lichen called out, wanting to hear the little girl's answer.
Jian Yi came back to her senses and looked at her uncle. Instead of answering his words, she asked him, "Then you and Sister Xiyun..."
"We have not contacted each other since the wedding was cancelled," He Lichen replied.
"You proposed to cancel?"
"Yes." He Lichen nodded and told the little girl what happened that day.
Jian Yi finally understood. Lan Xu finally told everything, not hiding it from his uncle, and letting him make a decision in such a critical situation.
"Girl, come with me back to Westport, okay?" He Lichen said.
"No," Jian Yi immediately shook her head, "I won't go back, and I don't want to go back with you."
I have already left that city, what else will happen to me?
After saying that, Jian Yi pushed her uncle away and prepared to turn around and leave the room.
This is where my uncle lives. He stayed here on a business trip. On the way here, my uncle told me that he didn’t want to stay here. He wanted to go back. He had to work when he returned to the store.
However, just as Jian Yica turned around and before she reached out to hold the doorknob, He Lichen stretched out his hand, grabbed the little girl's arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her from behind.
"Girl, don't leave me, I will never let you go again." He Lichen hugged her tightly, fearing that if he wasn't careful, she would disappear. (To be continued)
